È con profondo dispiacere che vi comunichiamo la perdita del nostro caro amico Vincenzo Lusa.
Vincenzo è stato un grande personaggio nel mondo dell’hairdressing che lo ha visto collaborare in qualità di formatore con molte delle più importanti aziende italiane.
Per più di 25 anni Vincenzo è stato devoto alla causa di Alternative Hair e responsabile dell’organizzazione di Alternative Hair Show e Alternative Hair Children’s Party in Italia.
Dal 1970 Vincenzo ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel relazionare il mondo dell’hairdressing italiano con quello inglese. È stato strettamente collegato al primo show e seminar di Toni & Guy in Italia ed ha conservato negli anni un eccellente rapporto con i parrucchieri Inglesi.
Vincenzo ci ha lasciati a seguito di una diagnosi di cancro al pancreas comunicatagli solo 6 settimane fa.
È stato un caro amico, un padre meraviglioso ed uno splendido marito. Mancherà a tutte le persone che hanno avuto la fortuna d’incontralo.
Se volete rendere omaggio alla memoria di Vincenzo Lusa o fare una donazione alla sua famiglia per mandare avanti la ricerca per il cancro al pancreas scrivete a Jessica Bodi Jessica@alternativehair.org
It is with great sadness that we report the death of our dear friend, Vincenzo Lusa. Vincenzo was a big character and a strong persona in Italian hairdressing, where he worked with many of the top companies and was strongly involved with hairdressing education.
For over 25 years Vincenzo was a great friend of Alternative Hair, as well as a personal friend of Tony Rizzo. He was responsible for the organisation of many events in Italy, such as the Alternative Hair Show
and the Alternative Hair Children’s Party, and was very devoted to its cause.
Vincenzo had an instrumental role in the relationship between Italian and British Hairdressing, a relationship that began in the 1970’s. He was closely involved in the first Toni & Guy shows and seminars in Italy and retained great relationships with British hairdressers over the years. He was a regular at Salon International where he often brought groups, using the opportunity to meet up with friends and colleagues.
Vincenzo passed away following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer 6 weeks ago. He was a dear friend, a wonderful father and husband. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him.
If you would like to make a tribute to Vincenzo Lusa or if you would like to make a donation to his family for ongoing research in pancreatic cancer, please email Jessica Bodi at Jessica@alternativehair.org.
