ABOUT US
Based on a lifetime of industry experience and established salon ownership expertise, Frankie has created a unique business model that enables successful salon ownership for the next generation of salon owners.
Frank Rizzieri is an entrepreneur and educator who is passionate about helping hair and beauty professionals reach their career goals. Fuelled by his passion for the beauty industry, and backed by his expertise as a successful salon owner, Frank has been helping up-and-coming hairstylists achieve their business and career aspirations for more than two decades. Now, Frank will lend his creative and business expertise to a broader audience, helping Frankie franchisees build successful salon businesses in their own communities.
From an early age, Frank was inspired based on his parents work in the beauty industry. Growing up in the salon, Frank refined his skills and gained hands-on experience that led him to becoming an established editorial hairstylist for some of the top global fashion brands, a regular at New York Fashion Week, and a three-time North American Hair Dresser of the Year winner. His visionary mindset contributed to the establishment of a cosmetology school and business consulting firm based in New Jersey.
Frank's grandfather, Franco Ciprotti, started his first barbershop and cosmetology school in Philadelphia.
Maison de Paris was the first of its kind in New Jersey.
Maison de Paris relocated to Camden, New Jersey and continued its legacy as a renowned beauty culture school.
Maison de Paris moved to the city of Haddonfield, New Jersey.
Sal Rizzieri joined the Ciprotti family, marrying Franco’s daughter Anna.

Sal renamed House of Capri to Salon Mirage and moved to a larger location in Washington Township, New Jersey.
Sal and Anna renamed Maison de Paris as the Rizzieri Aveda School, then relocated to New Jersey.
Frank rebrands his grandfather and father’s family business as Rizzieri Salon and Spa and takes ownership of the business.
