With over 15 years of experience, Max has built a reputation as a highly skilled and creative hairstylist. His passion for hairstyling has taken him to some of the most prestigious academies in Britain and France, where he mastered advanced techniques in both cutting and coloring. His expertise has also been showcased backstage at fashion weeks and at international hairdressing forums across Europe.
In 2024, Max’s creative journey naturally evolved into something greater—the need to establish his own space, where his vision could come to life. It was not just about opening a salon, but about creating a hub for like-minded, innovative stylists—a place where creativity thrives, and professionals collaborate at the highest level. With this idea in mind, THÉO was born.
