President and CEO of IT&LY Hairfashion, N.A., Richard Zucckero has been a strong supporter of Hollywood’s makeup artists and hairstylists through Union 706.
The company’s support includes free bi-monthly educational classes providing the latest trends and hair color techniques they can implement on their stage, movie and television sets. Union members also receive free hair care and hair color products to use on cast members along with technical support by one of their leading Master Colorists, Pasquale Caselle. Pasquale is often requested to be on set to assist with color corrections, changes or makeovers for their actors and actresses. Most recently, IT&LY Hairfashion, N.A. was the proud Emerald Sponsor for the Union’s Annual Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards on February 15, 2014. At this ceremony, actor Johnny Depp received the first ever Distinguished Artisan Award from the Guild.
According to CEO/President of IT&LY Hairfashion, N.A., Richard Zucckero, “Not only did we sponsor the Guild’s award ceremony due to Johnny Depp being one of the most deserving and talented actors working today but because we also had a special connection.
