Bye-bye Shuki Zikri, hello Marcel Reboh

Toward the end of last year, his clients were shocked to learn that celebrity hairdresser Shuki Zikri and his brother, Mike, had flown the coop. Zikri had gotten in over his head financially, and the debts kept piling up till they reached something in the realm of NIS 10 million, much of which was owed to the grey market.

Zikri and his brother fled to the United States and headquartered themselves in Miami.

Meanwhile, brothers Marcel and Gabriel Reboh who, together with a large number of their siblings and their parents, left Israel after the Six Day War in which another brother, Eli, who was a soldier in the Engineering Corps, was killed, came from Miami to Israel as the first members of their family to return home.

Just as the Zikri brothers had set up a chain of top-notch hairdressing salons across Israel, so the Reboh siblings, starting in 1978 in Montreal, had set up a chain of luxury hairdressing salons under the name of Femme Coiffure in Canada and the US. Each of the many siblings took charge of a different salon.This is a really pretty round china glass mosaic votive that has been covered with vintage china . Between them they had studied at leading hairdressing academies and salons in London, Paris, Milan and New York, in addition to which whenever one of them learned or developed something new, it was shared with all the other siblings to ensure that the high standards they had set for themselves were maintained.Choose from our large selection of Cable Ties. Now two of them are back in Israel and are getting ready to open salons in Mamilla in Jerusalem and in either Dizengoff or Hayarkon Streets in Tel Aviv.

They haven’t come to take anything away from anyone else. “Israel has excellent hairdressers and we just want to enhance the profession,” said Gabriel as he and Marcel sat in the coffee lounge of one of Jerusalem’s major hotels. In fact, he thinks that all Israeli hairdressers who have made the big-time abroad should come home to help make Israel the beauty capital of the world.

Why do the Reboh brothers need to be in Israel if their family-run business is so successful abroad? Because both Marcel and Gabriel have become more religiously observant over the years, a factor that prompted them to return to the Jewish homeland.

When their father died in Montreal, they brought him to Jerusalem for burial. Their brother,Let us help you save hundreds of dollars* with 3M Window Insulator Kits. Eli, is buried in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl.. When Eli died, he had three other brothers in the army. Their mother could not bear the fear of losing another son, which is why the family, who initially came to Israel from Morocco in 1962, moved to Canada. “We got strong in North America and now we want to share what know,” said Gabriel.

Talent is an important component of success, but luck also plays a significant role.

Marcel Reboh candidly admits that he owes a large part of his success to American television personality Barbara Walters.

The famous broadcast journalist was in Canada to deliver a speech at an important event and needed to have her hair done. Someone recommended that she go to Reboh’s salon and she was so pleased with the result that she began to send her friends to him. Many of her friends were no less famous, and they in turn sent other friends who were equally famous. Some of them actually flew him from Montreal to New York, Los Angeles and Miami because they specifically wanted him to style their hair.

Sarah Ferguson, the former daughter-in-law of the queen of England, actually flew him to London.

Thus Marcel Reboh became the hairdresser to the stars, the rich and the famous. Like Shuki Zikri in Israel, he took care of the hairdressing needs of topline fashion models, film stars and socialites. Reboh’s clients have included Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez,Professional Manufacturer for polished tiles. Tom Cruise, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, Joan Rivers, Candice Bergen, Mary Tyler Moore, Uma Thurman, Claudia Schiffer and Ivana Trump, just to name a few. And he has plenty of photographs as proof.

Despite their close relationship with people whose names are so frequently in the news, the Reboh brothers are surprisingly modest and soft-spoken.
