Authorities investigating in knock knock burglars are to blame. Ironies of ironies, one of the victims is fabio. I found out this victim was named fabio. My phone started ringing off the hook. The cops have work to do. Theyre trying to figure out if the knock knock burglar got really ruthless. They were on a torrid trail of love and murder. Just wanted him to open his eyes. Peace. Hair is something that really, we can all identify with. Hair is so much fun. We either have it or we dont. Its too thin. Its too curly. Its too frizzy. Its the right color. Its the wrong color. Every hairdresser is creating art. Hair is art. Reporter and he was the merry maestro of the art. No one enjoyed styling hair, and inspiring other hairstylists, quite like the man they called big daddy. The first time i heard big daddy, i was like who are they talking about . Of course, fabio. Reporter fabio was a salon standout, and 200 pounds of pure haircutting charisma onstage. He thrived in the spotlight and everywhere he went, people adored him. Fabio, he would show up in a scottish kilt and he would just go on stage and do hair. And everybody was like, this guys amazing. Reporter and when the famous came to his hometown of toronto, canada hed be amazing for them, too. Fabio styled people like jlo Russell Crowe jackie chan, jennifer love hewitt, the list goes on and on. People always would have to remind me, you know, do you know who your dad is . Your dad is so cool, right . And i would say, yeah, i mean, hes just my dad. But now i realize, oh my gosh, yeah, he was a big deal in the hair industry. Reporter a competitive hairstylist, fabio was a selfmade superstar from the Old Neighborhood little italy in toronto, where fabio was a first generation north american, shining pride of his italian emigre family, raised with a lot of love, and a little lasagna. Ive had this restaurant for 25 years. And fabio would come and dine here we ate together. Not cooked together. We ate together. He sang italian. He sounded italian. He drove an italian car. He drove a fiat. We both had an immense love for food. And i cant underscore that enough. We lived to eat. Meatballs, cutlets, ravioli, lasagna. We identified through food. Reporter for fabio, in the banquet of life, family, mattered most. He was especially close to his sister mirella, she was a wellknown hairstylist in her own right. He was in high school, where keanu reeves went, when he started working with his sister at her salon. He finished high school and it was basically, what are you going to do next . He said, i want to go to hair dressing school. Yeah. And he was so good at it. He really was a natural. And while there he meets a young lady very shy named 1985, yeah, september of 85 fabio caught my eye cause he had this this head of hair that reminded me of the lead singer of duran duran at the time. And then of course his character was just the cherry on top hes like a cup of coffee. He would just come in like, good morning they were married probably within four or five years of dating. I kept this for luigi so he had a nice thats our wedding day. So young, yeah. He was waiting up there for me. He looked handsome. And his hair looked good, which i wasnt surprised. And then soon after they had luigi. Nothing could stop him. He was just larger than life. My dad and my zia mirella had a lot of success together. We had two salons fabio and vonda were working with me. We wound so many perms we had dents in our fingers from the perm rods. Fabs hair was, like, huge. My hair was huge. Oh, it was something else. Nobody could style hair the way fabio and mirella were styling hair. Reporter so fabio and mirella became immersed in this glamorous world of competitive hairstyling shows where their flair under pressure made them instant standouts. There are the very serious hair competitions where everything is measured and precise. Then there are the more fun competitions. Hair has to be big. It has to be savage. So within 17 minutes, you had to create from start to finish your look. We just loved every minute and killed it. They would announce, five more minutes. [ speaking in a nonenglish language ] then, hands off, dont touch. And i still have my finger on the hairspray. And then, all of a sudden, we started seeing him on these local toronto talk shows, like, cbc. It was like, oh, my god, its fabio. Reporter yet, while fabio was gaining worldwide recognition, back home for his wife vonda, there were not a lot of highlights. I think there was one here where he was washing the car with luigi. This is where things started to change. Reporter while fabios career had been skyrocketing, he had been spending a lot of time with one of his hair models, who was also working at his salon. Monica was a manicurist at the salon, yeah. Yeah. Tough.
