An oasis of Brazilian expertise in hair care, style, and joy: That was the vision of Carlos Lobo when he founded the Carlos Lobo Salon in Manhattan in 1998. An internationally renowned stylist, the spirit of the Brazilian-born Entrepreneur still inspires his devoted proteges as they fulfill his mission to provide expertly colored highlights and face-framing cuts for all hair textures while setting the standard for superior customer satisfaction. Patricia Spuri, co-creator of her late husband’s success, carries on this distinctive philosophy in their sleek boutique salon on West 56th Street in Manhattan. As Head Colorist, Ms. Spuri leads her staff by example, matching transformative, accessible products with her expert eye for the classic, elegant hair styles that will make each client feel great. Ms. Spuri’s vast loyal following is testament to her outstanding ability as a stylist- and as an educator. Ms. Spuri is a certified L’anza educator, the only manufacturer of professional salon hair care products that heal the hair. Hairdressers come to her salon to develop their craft and technique utilizing L’anza products, in response to their customers’ demand for innovative, environmentally friendly hair and skin care products that are never tested on animals. Ms. Spuri has also expanded the scope of the services her salon offers by partnering with Aveda, the leading maker of botanically based skin care products. The Carlos Lobo Salon now offers exfoliating and pore-extracting facials incorporating Aveda products, along with a popular botanical skin-resurfacing treatment and a plant-based anti-aging peel.
