Philip Pelusi
Celebrity Hair Stylist, Educator, Product Artist and Innovator

The story of Philip Pelusi is a culmination of an adventure that began in 1965 with his first salon and four designers, just one year after graduating from the Pittsburgh Beauty Academy. By 1976, with an expanded staff of 30 designers, a trademarked haircutting technique known as Volumetrics and a self-designed training program in place, Philip opened his second salon.

Just as a concepteur addresses fabric and varying textures, lengths and colors for couture creations, Philip recognizes that not all hair fabrics are the same. “All great designs start with the fabric; great hair requires a healthy hair fabric,” is the philosophy and foundation from which Philip creates his product formulations.

Widely recognized for his skincare approach to hair care, Philip’s process begins with the hair follicle and an emphasis on damage reduction, overall strength and enhancing the hairs’ natural attributes. His passion for developing products, juxtaposed with his love of nature, has led him to combine the best of nature’s sustainable ingredients with the most advance science. Philip devises and engineers products to satisfy a wide variety of hair issues facing today’s educated customers. In March 2008, Philip introduced his most advanced product line yet: Tela Beauty Organics, a USDA Certified Organic bath, body and hair care line.
