Antonio Corral Calero launched his prolific career in 1990 in Barcelona, his home, under the tutelage of one of the world’s most renowned masters of hair design, Luis Llongueras. “Luis was the one who gave me the freedom to really be creative,” Calero says of his first mentor. It wasn’t long before Antonio began his travels to the top fashion capitals of the world to work with icons including Yves Saint Laurent, MAC and Lise Watier. After leaving Europe, Antonio relocated to Montreal and became the Artistic Director of Moroccanoil.

Since then, he has served as the dynamic face and ambassador of the Moroccanoil brand—and has been a dominant presence at premier runway shows and fashion weeks around the globe including Carolina Herrera, Just Cavalli, Catherine Malandrino, Rachel Zoe, Cushnie et Ochs, The Blonds and Alexandre Herchcovitch. Calero also strongly supports the next generation of fashion, providing his compelling vision for designers such as Delpozo, Katya Leonovich, Mandy Coon, Prisim and Nomia. Calero travels around the world, representing Moroccanoil at PR events and acting as a role model in the art of hair care and design for thousands of professional stylists. He has been featured not only in notable beauty publications including LifeStyled, Modern Salon, Salon Magazine and New Beauty, but also remarkable fashion titles the likes of Elle Canada and Vogue Japan.

As an expert stylist and industry innovator, Calero is drawn to Moroccanoil because he recognizes the value of simple products that perform consistently and effectively. Moroccanoil products simplify the life of a consumer the same way they simplify the life of a stylist, in that they remain just as effective day in and day out. “We want consumers to be able to have the same experience at home as they do in the salon. Since we were founded in 2006, I realize that we have made a difference in the industry and I feel so proud to be a part of this huge accomplishment.”

What’s next for Moroccanoil and Antonio Corral Calero? “I am committed to traveling the world, learning, developing and sharing my passion for Moroccanoil with others.” And Moroccanoil will continue to provide simple and effective hair care solutions, while seeking to inspire and empower women around the globe.
