In 1970, Tony Campisi, a young hairdresser from Italy, opened his salon in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. No business plan, just skill and a desire to do things right. The neighbourhood was different back then — less international, more working-class. But the quality of the cuts did the rest.
Over the years, the salon became an address passed down between neighbours. First-generation clients now bring their grandchildren. The formula hasn't changed: listen, advise honestly, deliver what was promised.
Today, Salvatore Campisi, Tony's son, runs the salon. Trained at Toni&Guy in London, he brought back international techniques while keeping the family DNA. The neighbourhood has changed — the European institutions moved in, the clientele diversified — but the standards stayed the same.
