ABOUT RICHARD
Richard
Fontana has 18 years of professional hair styling
experience. He began his formal training with master
stylist José Eber in Beverly Hills, California.
He then spent five years as head style educator at
the Palm Desert Salon where he was responsible for
training and managing a staff of ten stylists. While
in California, Richard became involved in hairstyling
for stage work and at numerous charitable events including
the Betty Ford Center and Athletes and Entertainers
for Kids. After working at Clive Summers’ salon
in New York City for a year, Richard moved to Las
Vegas to open the Richard Anthony Salon with his brother
Steven in 1994. The salon was named “Best Salon
in Las Vegas” by Best of LasVegas.com in 2000.
In Las Vegas, Richard continued to do stage work and
participated in the National Association of Producers
and Entertainers Convention (NAPE).
Richard
is the eldest of three brothers, who all have found
hair styling to be a way of life. Richard, Scott and
Steven spent their childhood days assisting at their
parents’ in-home salon near L.A. For this family,
hair styling is in the family roots and it did not
take long for each of the Fontana brothers to recognize
his natural passion and talent for hair fashion. Richard
has become a nationally-renowned stylist with Salon
Fontana in Boston inside the Sports Club LA and at
the Richard Anthony Salon in Las Vegas inside Club
Sport Green Valley.
Richard is now based solely in Nevada,
offering world-class hair styling to Las Vegas full
time!
