Lucia’s Personal Side

A note from Lucia

I believe that if you want to remain passionate and distinctive in a highly competitive industry, you must continue your education. Education inspires the stylist, which will inspire the client. In a one-on-one consultation I will answer all of your questions thoroughly with a positive and professional attitude. I enjoy the teamwork at David Velasco’s Salon: it promotes a warm and friendly ambience that is evident as you walk through the door. This is why I have remained at David Velasco’s Salon for fifteen years. While my career is very important to me, my true joy and passion in life is spending time with my husband Marco, daughter Simona, and son Marco.
