His unique cuts and color creations, up-dos and avant-garde styles cause a worldwide sensation. One such glimpse of his impeccable skill and artistic ingenuity was given to audiences during his debut at the Alternative Hair Show in 2011, which also helped the Austrian sensation etch a permanent nook for himself within the “community” of the world’s best avant-garde hairstylists. In 2012, Krankl landed the image campaign for the global presentation of the Alternative Hair Show’s 30th anniversary event entitled, “Legends of Alternative Hair.” In October of that year, he got to present his interpretation of that theme—which the London Evening Standard described as “ingenious”—as one of the world’s best stylists, at the Royal Albert Hall, before an audience of 5000 guests.

His stage shows with a fashion attitude turn the heads of stylists and artists everywhere. That is why he is also one of the top creative faces for the brand GOLDWELL.

Riccardo was voted as the “Hairdresser Of The Year” while in that same year Anthony also received his own distinction as “Platform Artist Of The Year”.
Modern Salon Magazine recognized the Brothers as “ Two Of The Most Influential Hairdressers Of All Time”.
American Salon Magazine put the dedicated duo in the “Top 20 stylists in The World” in it’s article on the premier hairstylists on the globe.

Beauty Launch Pad Mag ascertained that “ The Altieri’s Are Skillfully Powerful Educators With Their Fingers On The Pulse Of The Industry, And Still The Toughest Act To Follow On The Show Circuit Today”.
In California and Nevada Altieri owned and operated salons have been a force for decades.
As enthusiastic authors, the brothers have co-written an influential book on hair cutting entitled “ The Craft”, and have developed an innovative haircutting system called Power Hair.
The two siblings began their career as educators with the renowned haircare company Matrix . There they gained valuable experience, honing their skills and propelling themselves to the company’s top platform team and the leaders of the Matrix Global Artistic Council for sixteen years.

Rico and Tony as they are casually known to their industry friends and followers, consistently seek new ways to share their distinctive artistry with the world. To further this mission they have produced and star in their own new podcast series called “The Art Of Hair” with the Altieri Brothers.

Lastly, what defines the Altieri Brothers more than anything is that they come from a tight knit Italian/ American family and were raised in Southern California.

They are passionate and proud artists who have dedicated their lives and their careers to their family and to uplifting the entire professional beauty industry.
