Bruno&amp;#39;s involvement in the hairdressing field spans three decades. He began his career working alongside brothers Toni and Guy in the original TONI&amp;amp;GUY salon in London. Following in his father&amp;#39;s footsteps, Bruno set about to learn as much as possible about the business. It was Bruno&amp;#39;s talent for marketing and business acumen that helped TONI&amp;amp;GUY establish its worldwide reputation as the most innovative chain of salons. Mr. Mascolo established the Artistic Team which traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe representing the talent and innovation for which TONI&amp;amp;GUY has become known. The Artistic Team further solidified TONI&amp;amp;GUY&amp;#39;s reputation for outstanding education and was inducted into The British Hairdressing Hall of Fame in 2001. In 2005, Bruno received the prestigious North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) Hall of Leaders Award.

Having followed the educational works of Bruno and Anthony Mascolo, she was inspired to join Sherry Lane, the first U.S. TONI&amp;amp;GUY salon, in Dallas, TX in 1985. The company quickly took note of her talents, and by 1986 she was offered the Salon Director position. Awarded Employee of the Year the following year, the company began to recognize Leslie&amp;#39;s desire to share TONI&amp;amp;GUY&amp;#39;s vision and culture, and she was promoted to Regional Director. As the Salon Division began to grow, Leslie was actively managing multiple locations, conducting interviews, staffing all positions, and training new salon directors for each salon.  Because of her strong commitment and ability to motivate others to share her passion, she received a Leadership Award in 1991. In 1996, Leslie was offered the position of Vice President of Salon Division while leading the Salon Expansion Program, overseeing all administrative work locally and nationally, and providing staffing and placement for the Dallas area TONI&amp;amp;GUY salons. In 1999, the company again showed its appreciation for her creativity, drive, and motivation by inducting her into the TONI&amp;amp;GUY Hall of Fame. Leslie encourages others to set goals and believes mutual respect is the key to success.

&lt;li&gt;Apply one coat of the Eyes Love It Mascara&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Apply foundation using the Rockin Brush and blend from the &amp;#39;T&amp;#39; zone out towards the jaw line.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use the Glamm Powder by pressing into your skin with the Heaven Brush. This gives your makeup the staying power it needs to last the whole day.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Smile and apply the Player Blush to the fattest part of your cheek with the Foxy Brush. Slightly and lightly extend the color towards your ear.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;*Apply one coat of the Shine Junkie Lip Gloss for a soft natural lip with a healthy shine.&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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&amp;amp;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 and again in 2006 to Executive Vice President where she is currently responsible for overseeing salon operations and acts as a consultant for partnership salons nationwide. Debbie was inducted into the TONI&amp;amp;GUY Hall of Fame in 2003.  Debbie&amp;#39;s passion lies in developing strong leadership teams who help maintain the company culture as the salon division grows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://toniguy.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=370" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><enclosure url="http://toniguy.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.00.03.70/Debbie_5F00_webster2.png" length="8438" type="image/png" /></item></channel></rss>
