Maria Facciolo
Owner, Educator, Master Stylist & Colorist
My journey in the beauty business began in 1977. Although I have always remained "behind the chair" my career has taken several turns along the way. I received my BA in Economics from Kean University in 1981. Early on I did stage makeup for hair shows. That adventure was followed by teaching hair color to other salons in the tri-state area, always staying current by attending as many seminars & hair shows as possible. A true believer in "excellence through education", California, NYC, Toronto, & Milan are a few of the places I've been fortunate enough to travel to in search of higher learning.
I have had the privilege of having my work published in a salon trade magazine & have also been featured in many issues of "BE" Beauty Entertainment Magazine. It was a great experience for all of us involved and a rewarding experience for me to see my work in print! I am as passionate about this business today as I was when my career began over 40 years ago! Educating the up & coming stylists in this industry keeps me on my toes & brings much joy to me!
