Estetica’s No Holds Barred with Tony Rizzo

Inspire, motivate, and achieve perfection: this is the motto of Tony Rizzo, founder of Sanrizz. Recognized worldwide as one of the best English hairstylists, his main position is that of CEO of the Sanrizz empire and founder of the legendary Alternative Hair Show.

His 35 years of experience, his success, and his enormous contribution to the art of hairdressing have not changed Tony Rizzo, who is as enthusiastic today about his work as he was at the beginning. Energy, optimism and engagement are the other attributes that back up his endless passion for the hair industry, which sees him busy in seminars, shows, international fairs, and photo shoots, in the Sanrizz Academy and in training.

Without forgetting his 34 years of contributions to Alternative Hair, the foundation that as of today has collected 10 million British pounds to support the battle against infantile leukaemia. The idea of the foundation arose in 1983, when Tony Rizzo and his wife Maggie lost their first-born, Valentino, who had just turned two, to leukaemia. They began involving all hairdressers in Alternative Hair, a fundraising project that today still enjoys the intense enthusiasm of all.
