Robert Masciave was born in France on March 17th 1969 to Southern Italian parents and is the youngest of three children. He left school at the age of 15 and joined a technical college where he studied electricity, electronics and mechanics. Two years later Robert realised that he was destined to do something very different.

In the summer 1985 he started a two-year course at a French hairdressing college. After the first year of studies, he successfully passed men's hairdressing and theory exams. The second year he qualified as a hairdresser and went on to work as a young stylist in Metz, France. Shortly after, he was given the opportunity to work in the United Kingdom.

Metropolis was reviewed by The Sunday Times and Vogue as being ‘the most stylish salon in the area’ and reported to be ‘an excellent and enjoyable experience with well-mannered staff.’

Robert’s trademark style is lavishly extravagant yet extremely approachable.  Relentlessly passionate about his work, Robert continues to evolve as a craftsman, teacher and businessman. In the salon, his loyal clientele appreciate his precision cutting, sense of aesthetic, and European charm.

Robert became well known for his technical excellence combined with extraordinary vision and endless creativity.  His work has received three nominations for Southern Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards.
