BuZZworthy @ Philip Pelusi ~ The Stache is Back
Some styles are simply timeless and it seems the mustache is one of them! Today you will see mustaches popping up on sports stars to Hollywood stars like Zac Efron, Joe Jonas, and our very own Pittsburgh Pirate Pitcher Paul Skenes.
Then there are the iconic mustache wearers such as actors Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, and this timeless look worn by Mark Mallone, the Steelers Quarterback from 1980-1987. His stylist? None other than Philip Pelusi! And the stache is perfect fit!

Trend Alert ~ Buttercream Blonde
by Nikki ~ Product Education Director
One big consumer trend we’re seeing today is the love of new technologies such as AI, Alexa, Shopify, and even robots to assist in just about everything from creating a presentation in Canva, to face recognition security, to shopping online. Consumers, even when trepidatious, feel this makes everything faster, more efficient, and smarter. So it makes sense that today’s consumers are also demanding their hair care product and ingredient technology follow suit.
Now juxtapose this with one of Fall 2024’s biggest hair trends, Buttercream Blondes which when paired with a sleek styled bob and micro bangs harkens back to the 1990’s. At Philip Pelusi, we marry this 90’s rebirth with what we feel is our smarter hair care technology to date.
Fall 2024’s Buttercream Blonde is a very light blonde but tonally much richer looking than a straight up double processed, violet based, cool blonde hair color. The gold undertones of a Buttercream Blonde almost spark and shimmer, reflecting and catching the light better for gleaming shine.
The look is richer and glossy and we believe looks best when blown out smooth which is a perfect match to this season’s other hair trends. To help create this bright and shiny look we are again recommending smart products to do the work once left to topical styling products. We are applying our Tela Liquid IQ Elixir topped with our Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+ as the dynamic duo for color protection.
The aforementioned bond rebuilding chaperon emulsions mend broken or weak spots while reducing the impact of color and chemical treatments, heat styling, and environmental stressors making each strand stronger. These long-lasting effects contribute to the overall health and longevity of the hair with sustained improvement in shine, texture, and appearance.
Tela Liquid IQ uniquely creates a weightless protective barrier around the hair cuticle, making your hair more resistant to future damage and helping shield hair from UV rays and pollution. This barrier plus the bond rebuilding emulsions improve the exterior and internal integrity of the hair after treatment. Translation, longer lasting color service results that increases the value of this investment to today’s consumer.
To the ingredient mix, we also added our the proprietary Tela Hair Matrix Blend, Restoring and Regenerating Blends infused with antioxidants, anti-irritants, and nourishing superfruits. Natural wonders such as Matricaria, Asafetida, Sage, Horseradish, Grapeseed, Blackberry, Reishi Mushroom, Horsetail, Burdock and Pomegranate serves as Antioxidants, Ultra-Violet Ray Filters, Strengthening Proteins, and Weightless Moisturizers. These help protect the scalp and hair color and strength against harmful conditions plus they help fortify hair and scalp for optimal performance.

The Philip Pelusi Chic Geek ~ Less is Not always More, especially with Ingredients
by Nikki B ~ Product Education Director
The well-known phrase “less is more” can be spot on when it comes to certain things in fashion but absolutely not true when it comes to building a hair care formula. Let’s explain…
Today, many haircare and skincare companies tout the idea that fewer ingredients somehow means a product formula is simpler and therefore more natural. They allude to the idea that products containing longer ingredient lists are somehow bad and full of chemicals or bad ingredients. That might be true of other product manufacturers but NOT true of products created by Philip Pelusi.
Less ingredients means simply that there are less ingredients in their formulas. And anything containing less ingredients is simply less expensive to make, period. Again, this is NOT how Philip makes his products. One prime example of how “more is more” at Philip Pelusi is the Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Proprietary Blend of 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredients.
Philip’s Tela 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredient Blend is indeed rare in the haircare makertplace. Philip’s precision-made blend of 35 USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) Certified Organic antioxidants, anti-irritants, weightless moisturizers, strengthening proteins, super fruits, sun protection, and anti-color fade ingredients deliver optimum health and unprecedented anti-aging, healthy hair benefits. And is threaded throughout the entire Tela product line.
This magnificent blend not only amps up the fabulous results to the hair and scalp but also makes the formulas much more expensive to make. But Philip has always held a standard of a 100% commitment to quality. His formulas need to perform perfectly for his Stylists and Guests to get just the right results in the hair. Drumroll please! Here are those 35 ingredients…
Tela Proprietary Blend of 35 USDA Certified Organic Ingredients: Organic Apricot (Prunus Armeniaca), Organic Burdock (Arctium Lappa) Root, Organic Bilberry (Vaccinum Myrtillis), Organic Bupleurum (Bupleurum Falcatum), Organic Carrot (Daucus Carota), Organic Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum Muriflorum), Organic Chinese Orchid (Dendrobium Nobile), Organic Chinese Giant Knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum), Organic Dandelion (Taraxcum Monogolicum), Organic Dong Quai (Angelica Sinensis), Organic Fig (Ficus Carica), Organic Fo–ti (Polygonum Multiflorum), Organic Forsythia (Forsythia Suspensa), Organic Ginkgo Biloba (Ginkgo Biloba), Organic Grape (Vitis Vinifera), Organic Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis), Organic Horsetail (Equisetum Arvene), Organic Kiwi (Actinidia Chinensis), Organic Ku Shen (Sophora Flavenscens), Organic Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Uralensis), Organic Milk Thistle (Silybum Marianum), Organic Milk Vetch (Astragalus Membranaceus), Organic Mongolia Oak (Quercus Mongolica), Organic Oolong Tea (Camellia Sinensis), Organic Pine Bark (Pinus Tabulaeformis), Organic Plum (Prunus Domestica), Organic Pomegranate (Punica Granatum), Organic Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma Lucidum), Organic Rhodiola (Rhodiola Rosea), Organic Solomon’s Seal (Polygonatum Officianalis), Organic Tangerine (Citrus Reticulate), Organic Tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum), Organic Water Celery (Oenanthe Javanica), Organic White Tea (Camellia Sinensis), Organic Wolfberry (Lycium Barbum)

BuZZworthy @ Philip Pelusi ~ Timeless 1992
Philip Pelusi shares… “Loved this cut on this model, the strong asymmetrical shape and angles surrounding her delicate facial features. And a great haircut for fine, thinner hair types, making the hair look thicker, with movement. And the layers are so versatile so depending on the styling product applied and how the angles are shifted or pieced out really changes the look and feel of the cut. It’s timeless really, a perfect look today, low maintenance too. Today, I’m imaging it with creative colors like our Trend Team have shown recently. I’m really looking forward to the Trend Team presenting the Gothic Nuvo Collection. We are a Playground for Hair!”
