Brothers Toni and Guy Mascalo founded Toni & Guy 51 years ago in London and have since opened over 420 salons in 42 countries across the globe.  The first Toni & Guy in the northern Emirates is set to open on 1 September 2014 and brings with them some hot talent from the UK.

Renowned for their exacting education and forward thinking styles, the ladies of Ras Al Khaimah and the surrounding Emirates are in for a treat.  Every year, as directed by Global Creative Director Sascha Mascolo-Tarbuck launches a trend collection which is created by the International Artist Team.  Toni & Guy have long since been known as innovators of style within the industry and with ease, bridge the gap between high fashion and hairdressing.  This is exemplified by the brands sponsorship of London Fashion Week and Weekend.

Toni & Guy are responsible for over 80 designer catwalk shows each year.  They were  voted Super Brand for the sixth time in 2013 and Cool Brand not once but twice, leaving Toni and Guy the first ever hairdressing company to receive both nominations.  In 2008, Toni Mascolo was awarded an Honorary OBE for his services to British Hairdressing.

Set languidly on the ground floor of the legendary Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, the beautiful salon will be open seven days a week from 10.00 – 19.00.  Their gorgeous Label M products will be available and specialist hair treatments will include Leonor Greyl and Kerastraight.
