Paul Tambini - Master Stylist
Paul Tambini – The Intuitive One
There’s instinct—and then there’s Paul Tambini.
Owner of FELIX and GINGER, international educator, and part of a global styling collective based out of New York, Paul brings a sharp eye and even sharper shears to every session. Known for dry cutting that breathes life into longer hair and razor work that gives short styles their edge, Paul doesn’t just follow the rules—he edits them.
From fashion weeks to film festivals, he’s been behind the looks that turn heads. Some seriously high-profile clients trust Paul to know what their hair needs before they do—and he delivers, every time. Effortless shape, editorial finish, and the kind of cool confidence that can’t be taught.
Mary Gambino -
Master Colourist
Mary Gambino – The Alchemist
​
You could call her a colourist—but her work says otherwise.
Mary Gambino is part artist, part magician blending a dash of instinct, a dab of technique, and just enough rebellion to keep things interesting. She doesn’t follow the formula; she is the formula. Her work is all about movement, dimension, and light that looks like it belongs there.
As co-owner and co-creative director of FELIX and GINGER, Mary is also an international educator and her colour work is in a league of its own, mixing tones and crafting blends most wouldn't think of. She sees colour differently, pushes it further, and makes it look easy (having other colourists taking notes).
If you know, you know. And if you didn’t—now you do.
