of toni & guy salon founder dies

Hairdryers fall silent at every Toni & Guy salon after founder dies in art studio: Mr Guy Mascolo, 65, co-founder of the international hairdressing company Toni&Guy, died in his art studio in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday.

The man who pioneered Britain’s first unisex hair salon has been given an emotional tribute by staff and customers after he died of a heart attack.

Hundreds of stylists throughout the country stopped work to honour Guy Mascolo, co-founder of the international hairdressing company Toni&Guy.

They held a two-minute silence then, accompanied by customers, many in mid-cut, they left their salons to release white balloons in remembrance of Mr Mascolo, 65, who died in his art studio in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday.
