Summary: | Hairstylist and personal care entrepreneur Antonio Darcy Anderson was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 22, 1965 to Linda Johnson, an Atlanta businesswoman, and Bennie Anderson, an original member of the music group the Drifters. Anderson graduated from Southwest DeKalb High School in 1983. He then began cosmetology school under the tutelage of Frank Arnold at Arnold's International. Anderson was trained in the Pivot Point International System of Cosmetology Science and became a master colorist. When he was twenty-one years old, he opened Styles by Antonio in Decatur, Georgia, where the salon has served clients for three decades. With the help of his wife, Raquel, Anderson designed the Gabriel Feeding Pad, which holds a baby's bottle during feeding. An appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show's "Million Dollar Idea Challenge" landed them a deal with the Babies"R"Us, and the Gabriel product line sold all over the world.
