Long Island’s Michael Mazzei Talks About Successful Kidney Transplant Made Possible By Son Jamie

It was an emotional homecoming for 71-year-old Michael Mazzei at his Manhasset hair salon on Friday.

For more than 20 years, Mazzei has worked side by side with his son, Jamie. Now they share more than just a profession after Jamie donated a kidney to his father earlier this month.

 ...


“It was made very clear to me that I could live a completely normal life with one kidney. So with that being said, the choice was just obvious,” Jamie Mazzei said.

“Jamie is a giver. I think with everything and everybody,” said Jamie’s wife, Violet.

“It’s just a miracle and there’s no one that deserves miracles more than Michael,” client Denise Silverberg said.

“You know, I’m just so happy I was able to do it and I’m so happy with the outcome. I mean, he looks great, you know, and I feel good today so what more can you ask for?” said Jamie.
