It was my first time at the salon and I couldn’t be in better hands than Giuseppe. I had a restyling cut and Giuseppe took the time to explain everything about my hair, giving me great advice not only on restyling but also on how to look after my hair. I’m so happy to have found a fantastic salon with a wonderful atmosphere.

I challenge anyone to find another salon in the region that would come close to the incredible services offers by The Giuseppe Manco salon. Giuseppe has a passion for his craft and shares his thoughts and ideas in a way that gives 100% confidence. In the 7 years since I found Giuseppe I have only ever been thrilled with both the colour and cut!

I recently had a fantastic experience at the Giuseppe Manco salon - he simply is a superb hairdresser - I had highlights and a cut with Giuseppe and I am very satisfied. My hair looks really natural and the style Giuseppe suggested looks fabulous!
Tanya
Giuseppe is a top hairdresser who cuts the hair of models for fashion shows. He always does a great job with my hair. He changes the style regularly as he has many creative ideas to do something different. The salon is easy to get to in the centre of town. His assistants are always charming, kind and helpful. The hair products they use are organic and have a wonderful scent! I am offered a cup of excellent Italian coffee: cappuccino or espresso and amaretto biscuit! The salon is smart, clean and has a relaxing, calm atmosphere. It is always a good pampering experience going to have my hair cut there.

I loved the atmosphere - so stylish and friendly. Guiseppe is a true professional, really gifted hair stylist. It was probably the most extreme transformation of my hair and image.. and I can’t say enough thanks for that! I’ll be back for sure.

Giuseppe always cuts and styles my hair to a high standard. The atmosphere in his salon is very welcoming and relaxing. He has achieved the right balance between professionalism and friendliness in his salon. His advice to me about my ongoing hair care has had dramatically good results with the Phillip Martin products.

THE GIUSEPPE MANCO STORY!
"If you want to make a change in your life, start with your hair and you’ll always feel amazing"
As a young teenager I had a choice. Go to college, like most of my friends, or learn the art of hairdressing from my Uncle Gianni Lamberti. At first, I decided to try both but I couldn’t give my best in either and so decided to focus on hairdressing and work full-time in my uncle’s salon.
Even though I was a relative, there was no special treatment. I started by sweeping the floor, running errands and watching my uncle and his stylists at work, which totally fascinated me – I couldn’t wait to be the same as them!
I washed hair until my hands were sore; we never wore gloves because it’s important to feel the texture of the hair and I learnt how important the hair washing part of your salon experience is. Being able to wash hair well is really an art!
After a few years of deliberately slow but steady progression, helping my uncle at weddings and in the salon, I had developed a high understanding of the skills of classic Italian styling and soon became very popular. I had regular customers, a great team to work with and an Italian atmosphere.
However, it wasn’t enough, I wanted to learn for myself, cut hair in my own style and tune in to my own creativity and flair. So, I decide to head to London and realise my dream – to learn from my idol, Vidal Sassoon.
My journey then took me to a city I knew very little about and I spent many years working at Guy Kremer, a hair stylist in Winchester. This enabled me to pay for training with Vidal Sassoon and the master of precision hair cutting - Mazella & Palmer. I’ve met so many amazing people in Winchester during my time here and I am proud to now have my own salon and academy here in this beautiful city.
