Inspired by the creative and artistic ability of the Mascolo Brothers, Debbie began her career in hairdressing in England in 1979. Having completed a hairdressing apprenticeship Debbie went on to own and manage a salon. After relocating to the United States in 1991, Debbie joined TONI&GUY at the Sherry Lane salon in Dallas as a Salon Coordinator while waiting for her cosmetology license. Having studied business and accounting in college, Debbie was able to combine her love for business with her passion for hairdressing and was quickly promoted to Salon Director of the Sherry Lane Salon as soon as she received her TX license. Eighteen months later Debbie was promoted to Regional Salon Director overseeing the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex. In this role Debbie was instrumental in automating the salon division, implementing the computerized point of sale and appointment booking system in salons nationwide. In 1999, Debbie was promoted to the position of Managing Director of the Salon Division, in 2006 to Executive Vice President and in 2010 to Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer for both the salon and academy divisions where she is currently responsible for overseeing daily operations at all company owned locations and acts as a consultant for partnership salons & franchise academies nationwide. Debbie was inducted into the TONI&GUY Hall of Fame in 2003. Debbie's passion lies in developing strong leadership teams who help maintain the company culture as the salon & academy divisions grow.
