SOUTHERN HAIRDRESSER
OF THE YEAR AT THE
BRITISH HAIRDRESSING AWARDS
Fabulous news for us here at Marc Antoni. At the
annual British Hairdressing Awards our very own
Bruno Marc stole the show by bringing home the
title of Southern Hairdresser of the Year!
Held at London’s Grosvenor House hotel and
hosted by none other than Jonathan Ross, Bruno
who first won this prestigious accolade in 2007,
told the upstanding audience: “Magic – it’s been
worth the wait – thank you each and all!”
REBEL WITH A TRUST FUND
Used to mingling with icons of the hair world,
Dan Spiller of Fleet recently joined session styling
legend Eugene Soulieman and his team backstage
at Paris Fashion Week to create the hair looks for
Haider Ackermann and Issey Miyake. On his
experience Dan said: “Getting to work with an
icon of mine was a complete honour and one of
the most exciting things that has happened in
my career. He’s given me so much inspiration
to share with our team.”
BRUNO MARC
GIAMATTEI
Visionary!
A World
At the close of 2011 Bruno
Marc found himself on
stage at the Royal Albert
Hall as one of 15 finalists
competing for the
International Visionary
Award. Contestants
from throughout the
world showcased a
myriad of outstanding
avant-garde
creations, from huge
furballs and exaggerated
Mohicans to asymmetric
towers of hair. Bruno
however chose to stick to
his roots and presented a
fabulous signature haircut.
Although first place went
to Marco Lamberti, Italy,
Bruno made history by
becoming the first ever
runner-up in the UK!

CHRIS COX TAKES
OVER Caversham
Member of the Marc Antoni Art Team – whose input saw
us nominated for Artistic Team of the Year in the British
Hairdressing Awards, Christopher Cox has taken over the
reins of management at our latest addition, Caversham.
Christopher also represents Marc Antoni with our
professional partner Wella Professionals in the role of
guest educator in recognition of his ‘red carpet hair’
creativity. Formerly at Reading, Chris is on a mission to take
Caversham to new heights, and has already won the respect
of his new team and clients alike within his new role.
A MOST WANTED
VISIONARY!
Our Dan once again did us proud
by bringing home yet another
trophy – this time Creative Head’s
It List Visionary Award 2012.
Presented at the Lawrence Hall
in London by Keith Lemon,
the It List are renowned for
showcasing exceptional talent
and unrivalled passion, and
Dan’s triumph pays homage
to that very accolade.
SIMON GIAMATTEI prepares for
CYCLE CHALLENGE
Marc Antoni Director Simon Giamattei has entered
the Ibiza Round the Island Cycle Challenge. This
unique two-day cycle challenge to raise funds
for HAIRraising, an appeal to build two new
operating theatres at Great Ormond Street
Hospital, is a no mean feat, covering up
to 150km and taking in inclines and rugged
terrain.
The cycling begins on Saturday 5 May and has two
routes that day, with differing levels of difficulty. Both
routes see the group cycle out and south, hugging the
beautiful southern coastline before heading back up the
west coast towards San Antonio. The following day again
offers two routes and sees the team head in the exact opposite
direction and ride the northern coast. By the time the ride has
finished, Simon can claim to have ridden his entire way around
Ibiza.
Although this trip is physically tough, Simon has said, “This trip is
nothing compared to what these kids, who we are raising money for, go
through. Ultimately it is all about them. I am proud to be doing my bit
for the deserved charity.”
Simon is hoping to raise a staggering £7000 for the charity, and has
already secured sponsorship from ghd and Moroccan Oil. If you would
like to support Simon and HAIRraising please donate via Simon’s Just
Giving page http://www.justgiving.com/Simon-Giamattei or drop into
any Marc Antoni salon for further details.

As we embark on
a new year, we
take one last look

that was 2011,
and celebrate
the successes
throughout our
seven strong
salon group that
propelled us to
new heights, and
made 2011 a truly
memorable year.

Year Two
The entire body of Marc Antoni staff gathered on
Saturday 7th January 2012, in Reading for a night
of festivities at the annual Marc Antoni Awards,
held to reward team members who have exceled
and shone in salon.
The night opened with a video demonstrating our
team’s photographic collections, including the
beautiful Strike, which won Bruno Giamattei,
Manager of our Henley salon the title of Southern
Hairdresser of the Year, back in November. The video
went onto entertain and perhaps even embarrass some
of our team members, showing (what they may have
hoped was long forgotten) footage of them dressed
up for various events, from Minnie Mouse to Michael
Jackson, no one was exempt!
Aaron Giamattei, Manager of our Bracknell salon
compered the evening and reiterated the Marc Antoni
ethos of continually raising and hopefully surpassing
the expectations of our clientele. We appreciate the
current economic climate is difficult, and this is why
as a company we are striving to offer the best value
service we can. 2012 is set to be the year of the client!
