With over 30 years of experience working with royalty and celebrities all over the world, Alessandro Calvio is renowned for his innovative style based on a vertical cut that follows the natural movement of the hair and its natural fall. He has created a hairstyle that is effortless to maintain even after leaving the salon. The specialist cutting and colouring approach suitable for every type of hair, from straight through wavy to curly, uncovers the elegance of natural hair and thus reveals the true beauty of every customer.
For naturally increased volume, he uses a texturizing technique that relaxes the hair and creates a long-lasting hairstyle. Compared to usual haircuts, Alessandro recommends cutting your hair every three months, as the technique of the cut will follow the natural growth of the hair, meaning that the hair keeps its style for longer.
“A haircut is like a suit and it needs to be tailored to you and your energy”, explains Alessandro Calvio, Artistic Consultant and International hairdresser.
Customers receive a five-star experience, as Alessandro works through getting to know them and their hair first before creating a unique hairstyle tailored to their individual personality and style. With extreme focus on detail and creative approach, a haircut booking lasts around 90 minutes, showcasing the level of attention his clientele receives.
Alessandro suggests that you treat your hair like cashmere, avoiding too much shampoo or water that is too hot. The health of the hair comes from the inside, so it’s equally important to focus on combating factors such as stress, hormones, lack of vitamins and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Natural home hair remedies recommended by Alessandro include honey, warm olive or coconut oil and lemon or lime juice.
Alessandro’s work ranked as one of the “best cuts” for the UK in the Tatler Hair Guide and he was named on the Global A-list of hairdressers of Net A Porter Magazine, as well as recommended by Vogue UK as “one of the best cuts and hairstyles in the city”. His clientele includes international celebrities and royalty, including Bianca and Jade Jagger, Pippa and Carol Middleton, Vanessa Kirby, Giannina Facio, Bryan Ferry, Kelly Hoppen and many others.
“To me every client is royalty, whoever they might be. I like to first listen to my clients and then make suggestions to jointly achieve a style that reflects their individual style and needs. For me, it’s not just about cutting, colouring or styling – it’s about the person in front of me”
Alessandro currently divides his time between London and Mumbai, where he looks after the hairstyles of Bollywood stars and the elite of Indian society. For more information and bookings, please visit https://alessandrocalvio.com/.
