In 201
0, two cosmetologist colleagues, Lene and Andrea, now best friends, decided they want to run an Albuquerque Hair Salon. They both brought the idea to me and we pondered over it for a year or so. In November of 2011, Lene and Andrea made that dream a reality by opening my Uniquely Elegant Salon at 8311 San Pedro Dr NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87113 Just 2 blocks north of Paseo del Norte.
I was completely astounded when I first walked in to the new salon. These two ladies made a complete elegant shop that any mother or mother-in-law would be proud of. I was proud by just seeing the pictures they sent me by email, as I was in Quebec, Canada on assignment and could not be there for the opening day.
Both ladies were vastly trained in cosmetology, and had many years of hands-on hair styling and, from the looks of the salon, interior decorating too. They chose Alfaparf to be there hair color line, which is a very high end Italian product line, and Moroccanoil to be there main hair care product line. Both choices proved to be wise.
Lene, being a born and raised Brazilian, naturalized American, had a unique method of styling curly hair, which proved to be valuable to Uniquely Elegant Salon as the company later became very acquainted with the Hollywood craze Brazilian Blowout in Albuquerque. To Lene, this was the same styling of hair she was accustomed to during her adolescence in Brazil.
Andrea, with roots of New Mexico, is best known for her art in razor cutting and she is simply phenomenal with cutting curly and wavy hair as well as long hair layers and short hair for women, men, kids and teens. She took to Brazilian Blowout like and angel fish to water.
I am so proud of both ladies!
