ANICONIC COLL ABORATION

Anthony Mascolo unveils a timeless collection with Frank Brormann for Calligraphy Cut

Industry legend Anthony Mascolo has partnered with Frank Brormann for a collaboration that introduces the debut collection for Calligraphy Cut, a patented stainless-steel blade that’s set to change everything…

Anthony, renowned for his visionary contributions to hairdressing, presents three exquisite looks tailored for every hair length. This collection marks his first major venture in years and promises to redefine the boundaries of modern hair design.

WHAT IS THE CALLIGRAPHY CUT?

The Calligraphy Cut allows precision and creates movement where you want it, putting hairdressers back in control. With its ergonomic handle, the blade is tilted at 3 degrees to cut hair at the perfect 21-degree angle creating a 270% larger surface area.

The brainwave of German hairdresser, inventor and author Frank Brormann, Calligraphy Cut was inspired by the florist’s trick of cutting flower stems at an angle. He thought: if it works to keep flowers healthy, why not hair? Brormann put the theory to the test, developing a tool that cuts hair at an angle, for more movement and shine – and less risk of split ends.

A FUSION OF TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND CONTEMPORARY FLAIR

Anthony’s collection for Calligraphy Cut embodies a fusion of timeless elegance and contemporary flair. Featuring three distinct looks:

1 CASUAL BOB: Ideal for experimental styling, this casual bob offers versatility and elegance for any occasion.

2 SHORT LAYERED CUT: Textured and dynamic, this short, layered cut derives its unique movement from the precision of the calligraphy technique.

3 CLASSIC LONG HAIR: Emphasising natural fullness, elasticity, and effortless styling options, this classic long hair look epitomises Anthony’s enduring influence on the industry.

“WORKING WITH FR ANK AND CALLIGR APHY CUT HAS BEEN A REJUVENATING EXPERIENCE. FR ANK’S PASSION AND DEDICATION REIGNITED MY OWN CREATIVE FIRE, LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION. IT’S A CELEBR ATION OF TIMELESS BEAUT Y AND MODERN INNOVATION.”

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF HAIRDRESSING As the industry evolves, Anthony and Frank remain optimistic about its future. Anthony reflects on the changing landscape: “The industry has undergone significant transformations, driven by advancements in technology and shifts in consumer behaviour. Yet, at its core, hairdressing remains a timeless art form – one that thrives on creativity, connection, and innovation.”

Frank shares his vision for the future: “In an era defined by digital disruption, the value of human connection has never been greater. Hairdressing is not just about styling hair – it’s about building relationships, creating memorable experiences, and celebrating individuality. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead, collaboration and community will continue to shape the future of our industry.”
