Federico Rigoni is one of the most promising italian hairstylists in the world. His passion as a hairdesigner started and developed in his childhood while spending time in his mother's hairstudio.
The first big success was at the age of 15, when Federico participated at the National Championship U.N.F.A., which took place at the Festival in Rimini, where he could conquest 1st Place. From that moment on, day by day, his devoted sacrifice to improve his skills and his extraordinary talent made way to join the Italian National Junior-Team of Hairdressers. A path that permitted Federico to work in the most famous hairsalons throughout the world.
Federico can count his collaboration within the studio of Trevor Sorbie in London, 2004, working with many famous international hairstylists, to one of his greatest and character-forming experiences.
One of his important milestones in his career, was his protagonist-role at the show of Padova in 2004, where he ,for the first time, could express his ideas on hairdesign.
An enourmous boost in his life was thanks to winning two silver medals at the Worldchampionship for Hairdressing. After he won 2nd place in Las Vegas in 2002, he was able to defend his Vice-Worldchampiontitle the next year in Milan. With,obviously, a great satisfaction winning at home in Italy.
Certainly his achievements don't finish here. Since three years he has been the Vice-Creative-Director for the female Artistic Hairdressing group at the Academy A.N.A.M in Padova, where he still teaches and trains the next generation of promising hairstylists.
In 2005 Federico has also participated as guest at the Show "Sunset Diva L'Oréal" in Switzerland, which is considered as one of the most important events for hairdressers. During the same year he started to make his first experiences within the Filmindustry.
Now, after he has won the most prestigeous Awards in the Art of hair, and many other prizes in the beauty-industry, he will continue to pass on his skills and experience, to the next generation, and together with his older brother Giuseppe, with their enterprise known as "the Agency", consolidate their position in the Fashion-, Beauty-, Film- and Luxury-Industry, as they have always done it since the beginning of their career.
