Philip, tell us about your first Philip Pelusi Salon?

“While I was in beauty school, I worked at a salon in Shadyside doing towels and shampooing.  Guests would request my shampoos and I specialized in hair treatments and scalp massage.  I worked there the whole time I was in beauty school for tips and income and to become comfortable in a salon environment.”

“After I graduated, my first job was at the SAKS Fifth Ave Salon in downtown Pittsburgh.  I was the only Designer ever hired at this prestigious salon right out of Beauty School.  I loved working with clients, everything about the salon/guest experience but I knew I wanted more and had a vision of what I wanted the guest visit to look like, so I opened my first salon.  I wanted to create, not only beautiful hair, but a beautiful business for myself and everyone on my team.  And our journey continues today!” Philip Pelusi
