Stylists & Colorists
Tony
Salon owner and guru of hair, Tony can cut any style, any texture and any technique that you desire. He has been a natural talent since the very beginning of his career and has always been a student of his profession. He is a true master in the art of precision hair cutting, that has always been his focus since embarking in this industry nearly 2 decades ago. Tony studied hair at Jean Madeline Beauty School (South Street location) and graduated in 1999 when he began working at Gary Charles Salon. He was an overnight success and his book of clientele followed him when he made the decision to open a salon of his own – Love Salon – in 2013. His work has given him extraordinary opportunities to meet amazing people and have many exciting experiences but his heart belongs to his clients and making people feel and know they are loved. Now he is able to pass this culture along to the stylists that work with him on a whole new level.

Jennifer
Jenn was hand selected to work directly with Tony as head colorist at the start of Love Salon. She is dedicated to being the best at what she does and works tirelessly until her clients get exactly what they are looking for. Her credentials speak for her as she is on the Board of American Certified Haircolorists – there are only a handful of colorists with this achievement. Jenn graduated from Arcadia University before deciding that her true passion was hair and she needed to get back on track. In 2004 she enrolled at Empire Beauty School and became a colorist at Gary Charles and Associates Salon. Color has always been her passion because the possibilities are endless. She especially loves the science behind the color formulations which is why she attended the Wella Studio in NYC to become Love Salon’s first Wella Master Color Expert, a very high industry achievement that required 26 full days of studio education and testing. Besides making you look beautiful Jenn recently had her first baby and is thoroughly enjoying motherhood with her husband.

Sara
Sara opened Love Salon with husband Tony in 2013 after deciding it was time to take all of the different experiences they both had obtained over the years and combine them into their very own business. She has a degree in graphic design and worked in the design field while Tony was building his hair career. While starting their family Sara also had a successful Arbonne business learning hands on all about beauty products, ingredients, sales, public speaking and how to keep your customers happy. Being with Tony well before he even attended beauty school allowed her to watch from the front row as he built his clientele and worked in a great salon rubbing shoulders with talented stylists all the time although she isn’t a licensed stylist herself. Her most important job is being a mom to her 4 crazy and wonderful kids (5 if you count Tony).
