Introducing Gabriella Di Mascia at Stanley & Co

We are delighted to introduce Gabriella Di Mascia, the newest addition to our team.

A Journey Rooted in Italian Craftsmanship

Gabriella’s love for hairdressing began early. At just 158, she started her career in Molise, a region known for its traditions and appreciation for beauty. She sought out new challenges and opportunities, moving to Rimini at age 18 to continue growing professionally and eventually Milan, the epicenter of Italian fashion. Her training in Italy included working with renowned salons such as Aldo CoppolaGH Hair and Jean Louis David, where she refined her technical skills and developed a keen eye for detail.

Experience in the Italian Fashion Week

Gabriella’s experience extends beyond the salon chair. She has worked backstage at Milan Fashion Week, collaborating with designers, models, and photographers to create looks that capture the spirit of high fashion. Her work has appeared in leading magazines, including Italian Vogue, and she has styled well-known personalities such as FEDEZ, Achille Lauro, J-AX, Fred De Palma, Analisa, and The Kolors. This exposure to the fast-paced world of fashion has shaped her ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver results under pressure.

Expertise in All Hair Types and Styles

One of Gabriella’s strengths is her versatility. She is skilled in cutting and styling all hair types, whether straight, wavy, or curly. Her approach is always tailored to the individual, taking into account face shape, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Gabriella’s consultations are thorough and thoughtful, ensuring that each client feels heard and understood. She believes that a great haircut is more than a change in appearance-it is a boost in confidence.


Advanced Colour Techniques and Colour Correction

Colour is one of Gabriella’s true passions. She is trained in advanced colouring techniques, from subtle highlights to bold transformations. If you are looking to refresh your look or correct a previous colour, Gabriella’s expertise ensures a result that is both beautiful and healthy for your hair. Her understanding of colour theory, combined with her experience in high-pressure environments like Fashion Week, means she can offer solutions that are both creative and practical.
