Gonzalo Zarauza Art And The Maestro

How did you decide to be a part of the hair business?

I had always wanted to be a hairdresser, but due to circumstances I got into teaching and halfway through it, I had to abandon it because I decided to join a hairdressing school. I do not regret it and feel it was the best decision of my life! I was 21 and the oldest at the school, and although at first it was uncomfortable, soon I discovered that it was an advantage: I was progressing faster than anybody.

What was the inspiration?

I have been attracted to the world of personal imagery and specifically to hairdressing. Having the power to beautify people and feel better about yourself is more than an inspiration.

Please tell us about your family.

I come from a typical middle class family. My father was a fireman and my mother a hairdresser, well, the only hairdresser in my town. We are five brothers and they are all university students, because my parents believed that the university was the best inheritance that they could leave us.

Do share some anecdotes from that time.

I have a very special anecdote. We were seven people living in the house and it was not that big either. My mother had the salon in one of the rooms of our house and at night, a bed was unfolded, which was precisely mine.

From where did you learn hairdressing?
