Anthony Nader began his career working in the family hair salon in Moruya, a small town south of Sydney. After completing his apprenticeship he decided to take a big leap across the pond and lived in London where he had an incredible opportunity to work with international hair stylists.

With his fingers firmly sinking into current trends with scissors and blow dryer in hand, Anthony returned to Australia working under Robert Snow a top Session Stylist in Sydney. It is here where he was able to shape the future of his career while providing his loyal salon clients with what he visualized on photo shoots. It was then time for Anthony to pursue another dream which he accomplished in 1997, opening of his first salon in Darlinghurst along with partner David Shaw RAW Anthony Nader .
