MEET THE SOHO HAIR STYLISTS
FABIO SCALIA | ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Fabio Scalia, born and raised in Italy, is known for his modern artistry, charisma behind the chair, and the mesmerizing technical precision of his scissors. He has been cutting hair since the age of 12 and perfecting his craft since—which now includes an expertise in hair growth and trichology (as is evident from the salon’s Instagram, he is dedicated to healthy, lustrous hair for his clients).
Fabio’s impressive global hairdressing credentials include training at top hair academies such as Aldo Coppola, Vidal Sassoon and TONI&GUY but also stints at top European salons from Milan to Monte Carlo. His philosophy, though, is that there is no quick fix; patience and following his regimen are the keys to healthy, beautiful hair that is perfect for you. He is proud to have designed and released a line of luxury hair brushes that debuted in 2022 and reflect his dedication to Made in Italy quality and the art of the perfect blowout.
