In 1970 Tino arrived in Australia as a young migrant from one of Italy’s most remote islands. Tino arrived with a skill and a goal, to provide for his large family back home by using his skills developed over the previous 5 years as a young teenager.

Tino started his career in Melbourne Australia by working as the hairdresser to some of Channel Nine’s News journalists and other high profile busy men and woman in St Kilda and CBD. Years followed where he competed in fashion shows and mentored many apprentices into their hair dressing careers.

His business and creativity skills being arguably the best in Melbourne allowed him over the following 30 plus years to open several salons whilst raising his family and continuing to contribute to his large family back home on the Eolian Islands in southern Sicily, Italy.

Since then Salon Eclipse and owner has downsized to Mt Waverley where Salon Eclipse has now operated for 25 years with clients coming from all over Melbourne (and at times interstate when on business or holiday here) to visit Tino and his thoroughly qualified staff.
