NEW YORK, NY., July 20. UpSpring PR, a boutique fashion and lifestyle public relations firm, is pleased to announce Concept Salon as its newest client. The announcement was made by UpSpring PR CEO Tiffany Tabar on July 20.
"Helio de Souza and Andrea Piccolo have decades of international styling experience,"
Concept Salon offers a full range of products and services, including men's and women's cuts, styling, treatments, and coloring. Concept sets a high standard of personal service, and stylists will visit clients at their home, office or hotel for maximum flexibility. Concept Salon also offers a special wedding package available with consultation. The salon is sought-after in New York for the Brazilian Blow-Out, which is a popular treatment that fights summer frizz. Concept Salon has pioneered a revolutionary new method that is 100 percent natural and chemical-free, and unlike other straightening treatments, has no formaldehyde.
Concept Salon benefits from the experience of its management team, CEO Elaine Lewis, President Helio de Souza, and Creative Director Andrea Piccolo.
De Souza, who arrived in New York City from Brazil 20 years ago, is the founder of the Helio de Souza Salon and a well-known stylist who has gathered an international following in both Rio de Janeiro and New York, as well as press attention in North America, Europe, and Latin America.
Piccolo is a hairstylist and makeup artist whose family members have been working as hairstylists for four generations. He trained at the prestigious Centro Stile Moda in Milan at the age of 15, as well as at the famous Tony and Guy Academy in London, where he also worked as a makeup artist. After coming to New York, he worked at Next Management before joining de Souza at Concept.
Lewis is a former interior designer and space planner, and founder of Elaine Lewis International. Lewis, the author of Less is More: A practical guide to maximizing the space in your home, brings her immense experience in both the fashion and business communities to her position as CEO and director of business development and administration.
UpSpring PR will create a 360 degree public relations platform to increase visibility for Concept Salon's visionary sylists. The UpSpring team is honored to partner with Concept Salon and to introduce its talent to a broader market.
