Corporate

Aldo Coppola is a family business that was born in 1966 through the creative and artistic talent of Aldo Coppola, a true innovator in the world of hair.

The vision of his son, Aldo Coppola Jr., brought a new business philosophy in 1986 with the opening of direct Ateliers, the start of a franchise network, the creation of a freelancers’ agency, the inauguration of the Academy and the distribution of Aldo Coppola products.

Nowadays the company is a multichannel business that operates in different shares of the beauty, wellness and hairstyling sector.

The heart of the brand are the Aldo Coppola Ateliers: places where style and beauty are custom-tailored for every woman and technical-artistic innovation is continually developed through constant research. The salons are located in Milan, Rome, Florence, Forte dei Marmi, Porto Cervo and Lugano.

The Aldo Coppola chain of franchisees counts more than 80 salons named “Aldo Coppola by” that are distributed mainly in Italy (55 salons), then in Russia (18 salons), Qatar (3 salons), Kazakhstan and United Emirates.

The training of the Aldo Coppola staff is performed at the Aldo Coppola Academy, a place where all techniques are developed and all branded products are tested for use. The Academy, based in Milan and in Moscow, serves also independent salons that want to learn the Aldo Coppola philosophy, counting more than 1200 students per year.

While developing new hairstyling techniques, the brand focuses also on creating new products that will serve both professionals and consumers with the most performing formulas on the market. Aldo Coppola and Shatush products are the two brands that label lines distributed by the company.

The name Shatush was used for the first time in 1991 to describe a coloring technique that recreates the natural effect of a hair lightened by the sun. The first Shatush product line then was launched in 2001 from the idea of a sustainable beauty, a strong professional experience and a certified avant-garde cosmetics. In 2022 Shatush has been also presented as a news franchise formula focusing on beauty innovation and design.

Another brand is part of the family: Go Coppola. Founded in 2007, it is the pret-a-porter of Aldo Coppola, a young and dynamic way of affiliation born to provide a new dimension to the professional hairdressers. Nowadays the brand counts more than 40 franchising in Italy and 2 in Russia.

All the communication, pr, events and out-of-salon services are dealt by the Aldo Coppola Agency. The hair and make up look of fashion shows, shootings and celebrities are taken care by a group of highly professional freelancers that work with the goal of creating the best possible expression of the Aldo Coppola brand.

Today Aldo Coppola is a brand of reference in the world of beauty and fashion, collaborating with the best fashion brands, the most renowned international photographers and the most relevant Italian and international magazines.
