Peter Anthony:

Brash, Bold, Outspoken, Controversial, and right on the money! The prodigal son of NY and clearly an enigma in Florida, Peter Anthony has been an award-winning entrepreneur since he stepped into the world of beauty and fashion at 19. Making big statements has never been hard for the current CEO and Founder of the viral website LetsTalkAboutYourHair.com, Peter Anthony has a knack for spotting beauty trends and isolating corporate disasters.

His Charismatic personality lights up auditoriums just like they were one of his award winning salons. He is straight forward and gets personal because as the former winner of Modern Salon of the Year* likes to share

“Business is personal to people! Nothing is more personal then the way we look, it is easily one of the greatest influences on the way we feel. Simply put if you look better you feel better, and when you feel better you perform better, so why not look outrageous and amazing so you can feel and perform outrageous and amazing!”

Peter Anthony has been speaking to audiences and consulting with companies since he started his career in beauty. After meeting Tony Robbins at 19 and traveling with the master around the world for years Peter Anthony’s speaking style is motivation meets fascination and it all turns into high energy and passion. Peter’s keys notes focus on people and how they can become clear in their brand and their culture. “Your look is your brand, your brand determines your culture, your culture determines your success.” shares the beauty Guru. With his salons performing over a million services he feels clear that a new message is right in front of us, for those who dare to read between the lines and think out of the box. Peter Anthony, contagious visionary.

What prompted you?

Great conversations with Tony Robbins, he had me list out my values.

Were you nervous?

I came out of a serious academic environment and was studying pre-law. never thought about hair in my life and I walked into a room filled with girls with big hair. I had a tie on the first day and nearly @#$% myself. It was horrible for the first two weeks. I was nervous every time someone handed my something to do.

What was your first “makeup or hair disaster” and how did you get over it?

We were learning blow drying techniques and I finally got the courage up to ask someone to let me work on their hair. She wanted curls and volume ... I took the smallest brush I could find, lifted up her 14 inches of hair and wrapped it around the brush with my hands and hit it with some air.... You can figure out how pissed she was when we had to cut the brush out of her hair.

When did you decide to open your first salon/spa?

When I was 23, I had a dream about standing on the second floor of my salon and watching people cut hair. I walked past a location on my way to NYC and saw a "for rent" sign. There were two floors and one was a mezzanine. Signed the lease two weeks later.

Did you have enough money?

Your kidding, no matter how much you have it is never enough. My suggestion start with as little as possible.

How did you overcome hardships or adversity?

With thick skin and a rocking sense of humor at first. Then when I made my first 100k with success. What I realize is that laughter, gratefulness and humility were more important then all the huge checks in the world.

What is different about owning a salon/spa and being a stylist/artist?

Everything. Expectations of the clients and the staff. Learning how to grow people instead of focusing on growing yourself.

If you could do one thing over again in the beginning of your career what would it be?

I would have worked with Bruno Pitini when I had the chance in 87, for sure that is my biggest regret. He was the most talented hair cutter I have ever seen, period.

You are absolutely one of the most inspiring people to have come across. I am so honored to have spent some good personal time with you in the past few days. I will start setting aside money for the cruise coming up but hope our paths have a chance to cross well before February. My career is sure to be headed on a much different path and i have a very different outlook on things since we have met. Only time will tell yet I am already greatful for what you have given me. Enjoy time with your family as you return back home this evening and again, thank you!
