JOSEPH FERRARO

UK

Hailing from Sydney, but with two successful salons in the Yorkshire town of Harrogate, Joseph Ferraro has come a long way. Not just on his travels, but in his flourishing hairdressing career too
 
The beautiful spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire couldn’t be much further away from Joseph Ferraro’s roots in Sydney, Australia. It had always been Joseph’s ambition to own his own business when he started out in his hairdressing career. But little did he know that his thriving salons would be on the other side of the world, and he would own not just one but two before he had reached the age of 40.
 
Starting out with an apprenticeship on Sydney’s bustling Oxford Street, Joseph had a couple of years of junior hairdressing under his belt before an urge to travel struck.
 
Enjoying the lifestyle in the north of England, Joseph was offered the chance to buy a salon in Harrogate. Shortly afterwards, Joseph was selected to be a member of the prestigious Fellowship for British Hairdressing F.A.M.E Team. He credits this opportunity in 2011 as a total game changer. Mentored by hairdressing greats, Errol Douglas MBE and Bruno Marc, he learnt not just about hairdressing, but crucially, about business. No doubt, being part of the F.A.M.E team was a pathway to bright things ahead. Meeting and working alongside some of the biggest talents in the hairdressing world was an inspiration to Joseph. But next up, he longed to realise some creative ambitions. Already shooting his own photographic collections, he was determined to break through and win a category at the British Hairdressing Awards. 2016 was his year and his beautiful, stripped back set of images rewarded him with the title North Eastern Hairdresser of the Year.
 
Fast forward to today and the brand boasts two salons in Harrogate with reputations that stretch far beyond the local area by achieving finalist status in the British Hairdressing Awards.  Joseph also holds the prestigious role of brand ambassador for Authentic Beauty Concept.
 
While Joseph misses his family back in Australia, he’s in no doubt that Harrogate is home. In terms of geography, the next step on Joseph’s path may not be quite as far as relocating across the world, but don’t underestimate this honorary Yorkshire boy from Sydney - he’s definitely a talent with his sights set on the next big adventure.

MIRKO SCHIOPPA

ITALY

Mirko Schioppa is an emerging professional in the stylistic and artistic panorama of hairdressing fashion. His education was born in the city of the arts par excellence, Florence. Son of art, he participates in countless training courses and masters at the largest national academies, which have consolidated him in the art of technique and style. By exercising his talent both in the family salon and in countless events of national and international importance, he confirmed his talent, which to date has deepened in an exciting stylistic project in Italy. Mirko embodies the enthusiasm and vivacity of a young and ambitious project but also rich in professionalism and ability, placed at the service of professionals in the sector and the most demanding customers.
To create these works, I was inspired by the emotions and colors we perceive. In fact, colors are a means of communication: the brain perceives color through the eyes, and wavelengths tend to stimulate the limbic part of the brain, which is responsible for emotions. Therefore, when we talk about the psychology of colors we are talking above all about emotions.
