Mario Tricoci is a hairstylist and owner of salons in Chicago, Illinois.
Mario Tricoci grew up in Cosenza, Italy. [1] He, along with his wife, Cheryl, now runs the Chicago-based Tricoci Salon & Spa.
Mario Tricoci's interest in hair started when he was in his youth. As a young adult, Tricoci worked as an apprentice at the local salon in Italy. [1] When Tricoci came to Chicago in the late 1950s as a teenager, he got his first job at John Edward's, a salon on Michigan Avenue. [1] Since that point, Tricoci has been in business, and he is known for starting his career in 1960. [2] Soon, Tricoci's talent in the cosmetology industry was recognized, and in 1966, Tricoci won Best Hairdresser at what is now the American Beauty Show. [1] In 1967, Tricoci again won a major award, the Grand World Supreme, for fashion. Following this success, Mario, along with his brother, decided to start their own salons. In the 1970s, Tricoci and his brother, Franco, began salons in the Villa Park and Des Plaines area in Illinois. Thirty-five years later, the Mario Tricoci Hair Salons & Day Spas, are still successful.
Today, Mario Tricoci owns 14 Hair Salons & day spas in Chicago. [2] With over 1,400 employees, Tricoci is the overseer of the company.

Though Tricoci has a very European style, [1] Tricoci claims that one of the groups of people he takes inspiration from is teenagers, because they are among the first groups to try, and change, fashion.

During this competition, hundreds of models show up to win the award of being crowned a Mario Tricoci model, working with Mario Tricoci himself, and attending rigorous modeling and makeover sessions.
