CHICAGO, April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- TIGI is proud to announce the opening of their first flagship salon location, Fuga Centro Salon and Spa in downtown Chicago.

Conveniently situated on the edge of Millennium Park, Fuga Centro Salon and Spa boasts a 3,100 square foot location offering exclusive TIGI Copyright custom treatments including the Shine, Repair and Smooth Boosters.

ABOUT Antonio Favaro

Artistic Director | Owner
As a young man in his native Sicily, Antonio Favaro began an apprenticeship under his uncle, Enzo Martorana. Bursting onto the hair scene of Rome in 1986, he began to work with such icons of style as I Sargassi, Rolando Elisei, and Bruno Pittini of Dessange. Making his mark in top fashion destinations including New York, Milan, and London, Antonio's professional training has included Dessange, Vidal Sassoon, Llongueras, and Sanrizz.

After establishing his own successful salon in beautiful and historic Modena, Antonio came to the United States and in 2004 opened Fuga Salon & Spa - his mission: to bring Italian style and service to the Midwest. Fuga quickly established itself as one of the top salons in Chicago. Never one to rest on his laurels, Antonio continually strives to ensure that Fuga remains on the cutting edge by collaborating with his colleagues in Italy to bring the newest trends and techniques to America. Antonio remains at the forefront of his profession, working out of his two Chicago salons, and educating through Accademia Fuga. Based out of his salon on historic Michigan Avenue, Antonio's dynamic workshops cover a range of beginner to advanced level cutting techniques with a bit of his own Italian panache.
