The Industry Mourns Loss of Guy Mascolo
Toni&Guy and TIGI co-founder Guy Mascolo passed away on May 6 after suffering a massive heart attack at his home in Dallas. Mascolo, whose birth name was Gaetano, was born in 1944 to Francesco and Maria Mascolo. He and his brother Toni launched globally renowned hairdressing company Toni&Guy in Clapham in South London in 1963. The teenage brothers learned their hairdressing skills from their father, himself a respected hairdresser. As the business took off, they also launched their own product line, TIGI, and opened salons in the United States.

"Guy had the natural ability of hairdressing since he was 14 years old," said Paul Joseph, a founding director of Toni&Guy in Dallas. "He could naturally do whatever he could visualize. He was a hairdresser's hairdresser."
Mascolo was an enthusiastic sportsman with a passion for the Chelsea football team. He was also a brilliant guitarist who wrote and produced music for himself and others. He is survived by his two sons, Guy Junior and Zak (creative director of Toni&Guy New York), from his first marriage, and two daughters, Emanuella and Zara, from his second marriage. He also had nine grandchildren.
