About Us

After 5 years of extensive training at the age of 14 and a further 2 years in-salon experience, Antonio
set up his first salon in 1982 in his hometown of the Southern region of Calabria in Italy. In that time
he trained up others who today are still thankful for the expertise passed on by him.

In 1993 Antonio moved to the UK 

where he spent a few years working for a number of hairdressers around the Crawley and Redhill area, until an opportunity came in 1997 to take over a leading Crawley salon.

​

He quickly gained an outstanding reputation in being able to handle very difficult hair, be it from fine and lank hair to course and wiry hair.  This is the knowledge and technique he has passed onto all that have gone through apprenticeship programmes with him and also the consistency and patience needed in the hairdressing industry. However, taking over someone else’s business came with its challenges and so in 2006, he decided to start from scratch, his own salon in Church Walk . He is proud to have passed down this knowledge and technique to all those willing to learn and the expertise in handling all kinds of hair types with creativity, professionalism and perseverance.

​

Today

“Antonio hair design” continues to train up the new generation whilst all  hair needs are taken care of, from child, teenager, and young adult, mature to
the retired.  At the forefront, we like to build a trusting relationship with you, where you can feel
safe in the knowledge of each stylists ability  to achieve the look most appropriate to your hair, lifestyle and fashion needs.
