  • “I’ve been doing this job for 20 years, I’ve met many professionals, but with Riccardo, I found what others never conveyed to me; a way of explaining concepts clearly and effectively, where at the end of the experience, I could say that what I had been searching for a long time had finally been taught to me. Knowing how to cut hair is one thing, but teaching is another. Thank you, Riccardo. See you soon.”

  • "It was a revelation for me, in a field where I believed the knowledge being spread was often fluctuating and unstable. I came into contact with the true foundations of hair cutting. He gave me a replicable and predictable method, with an eye for the smallest details. "

  • “Getting in touch with his training was a new starting point, but above all, a turning point.The availability, the practicality, and the attitude with which Riccardo dedicated his time to us will forever be our companions on a journey where he will surely be the captain. A total immersion that every professional in our field should account for. Thank you from the heart Riccardo!”

  • "An immense thank you, Riccardo, for being by my side during these 4 incredible years and all the training days. Your support and guidance made the difference in my personal and professional growth. I can’t wait to continue this journey together! One of the most humble and professional people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. His humility is equal to his expertise and dedication to the field of training."
