I began in the school holidays and at weekends when I was 12. I was qualified at 16 and went to work in our 2nd salon with my father and my brother, Bruno.

12歲開始我的美髮人生，我課餘的時間和周末就幫忙家中沙龍工作。16歲時我已經成為正式的設計師，並與我父親、哥哥Bruno一起在我們的第二家沙龍工作。

Everyone in my family was a hairdresser and I started hairdressing at 12 years of age, so I never considered becoming anything else. But then I also became a photographer so I’ve been lucky to add that to my work. I know one thing, if I had chosen anything else it would have been definitely been something artistic.

我的家人都是髮型設計師而我也在12歲時開始接觸髮型設計，所以我從沒想過我會從事其他的行業/職業。但後來我也成為一個攝影師，因此我很幸運地可以將攝影運用在我的工作上。可以確定的是，如果讓我選擇的話，我一定還是會選擇和藝術相關的產業。

Within a couple of years I was working with Bruno on photo shoots with top photographers and magazines like Italian Vogue. I worked with Lord Snowdon the photographer husband of the Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret and with David Bailey who became famous in the “swinging 60s” in London. In my early 20s at one of my first shows in London at the Royal Albert Hall I received my first standing ovation, which was incredible.

多年來我和兄長Bruno與許多傑出的攝影師和雜誌媒體(例如義大利的VOGUE雜誌)一起工作。我和女王姊妹瑪格麗特公主的夫婿/攝影師斯諾頓爵士Lord Snowdon合作過，也與創造”swinging 60s”倫敦新世代的攝影師David Bailey共事。

我拿過三次年度最佳設計師大獎。第一次讓我感到很驕傲，那種感覺很棒，但第二次和第三次的感覺也很好。我非常榮幸能夠拿到這樣的獎項，我也拿過倫敦年度最佳設計師和British Hairdressers的終生成就獎，以及他們所頒發的年度形象獎。

還有很多讓我感到成功的片刻，像是我第一次站上倫敦皇家亞爾伯特音樂廳Royal Albert Hall時，觀眾為我 起立鼓掌喝采，當時我才20幾歲和我的團隊以及後來成為我老婆的Pat Stokes站在台上，那感覺真是不可思議。

My brother Bruno for mentoring me all my life and believing in me, Robert Lobetta, who is one of my oldest friends and my wife and makeup artist, Pat Mascolo.

我的兄長Bruno一直是我的良師益友，他教導我許多，也信任我，相信我能成功。我的一位老友Robert Lobetta以及我的彩妝師太太Pat Mascolo同樣影響我至深。

The biggest challenge in my career probably are people and sometimes budgets. I am ambitious with my ideas and I get frustrated when I don’t have the budget to achieve my dreams! But seriously I have to ensure my team and I move forwards all the time, so we need to research, improve ourselves and constantly work to make ourselves better and train our younger team members. Part of my job is to motivate and inspire others –that is a big responsibility.

在創業的過程當中，對我最大的挑戰應該是人和預算。我是個很有野心的人，如果因為預算不足而無法完成夢想會令我很沮喪。但我必須要讓我和我的團隊能夠持續前進，所以我需要研究、進步、不斷工作來自我提升並且訓練年輕的團隊。激勵周遭的人也是我的工作之一，這是我的責任。

Understanding what women want to wear and showing hairdressers how to achieve those haircuts and styles on their clients. It comes from experience, training and education and listening to clients’ needs.

我了解女性想要什麼樣的髮型，也能清楚的讓設計師知道如何做出這些顧客想要的髮型和風格，但這樣的能力全來自經驗、訓練、學習、教育，以及傾聽顧客的需求。

Fashion is important. Obviously I take a lot of direction from what is happening on the international catwalks, but also from films, music, art, architecture, street fashion and importantly my own team. Our work is on a continual path of development. We create products to get the right look for our cuts and we create cuts that work with the products that we have created.

對於時尚的關注是重點。當然我從很多不同的角度來專注國際時尚趨勢，但我也從電影、音樂、藝術、建築、街頭文化以及最重要的是我自己的團隊裡找靈感。其實我們的作品是一個有延續性的發展過程。我們研發出那些可以幫助我們創造裁剪和造型的產品，同時我們也設計那些可以搭配產品的造型。

I don’t allow that I lost my inspirations of doing hair creation! I plan and research before I do anything. I make sure I am always motivated and I have a great Team to work with me who share their own ideas and vision.

我不容許我自己沒有創作的靈感。我在做任何事情之前總是先計畫、研究，也確保我總是積極、有明確的動機。而且我有很棒的團隊和我一起工作，我們分享想法、分享生活和願景。

It pushes you to challenge your limitations and your creativity and it refines your work, improving your artistry and craftsmanship.

參加比賽能督促你挑戰自己的極限和創意、創造力，也能讓你的作品更精進、提升你的藝術才能與技巧。

My definition of a good hairdresser is a craftsman, an artist, a visionary, a psychologist, a friend.

對我來說，一個優秀的髮型設計師，必須是技藝優秀的藝匠、藝術家、有遠見的夢想家，同時也是深諳人性的心理學家，並能像個朋友與你相處。

Education and training has always been important to me.

I believe that training is important to team development, and that sharing new ideas with others drives his own work forwards.

This strong philosophy of sharing ideas has been important in the development of TIGI educational programmes and in the growth and training of my own TIGI International Creative Team.

對於我來說，教育訓練一直都是最重要的。我認為訓練對於團隊成長是很重要的，和他人分享想法可以讓自己的作品更精進。這個理念成為了我發展TIGI教育和整個創意團隊成長的重要關鍵。

首先，設計師都要有夢想不論年長或年輕，要知道你自己想做什麼、希望成就什麼和創造什麼。你必須要學習規則、做出完美的作品並且在技巧使用上有十足的自信，當你完全熟悉各種技巧後你就可以”靈活運用”了，這時你才可以開始往藝術家的路去發展。這就是所謂的”Creative Intelligence”，這需要對於工藝、規則和藝術有完整的掌握度。

現在，單單只是成為一個好的設計師已經不夠了！你必須要有獨特性，而且是這個區域裡沒有的特色。一定要有完美的服務品質，這包含了零售、建議顧客如何在家維持造型，要考量商業層面、專業性並有發展出一個具有凝聚力和忠誠度的團隊。同時你也要持續地與團隊做教育訓練，這樣可以讓大家的動力保持在最高點並願意跟著團隊一起向前。
