Hard to believe it’s been almost 60 years since Philip started his 1st hairstyling job right out of beauty school. And no less his first job was at the prestigious Saks Fifth Avenue Hair Salon in downtown Pittsburgh. His story is pretty cool and so are these rare photos…
Philip shares,“I dropped out of high school to work as sheet metal worker and I was a proud member of Sheet Metal Local #12. I respected the value of a hard day’s work and earning a paycheck. I also knew I wanted to do something creative, perhaps in fashion I thought. Then started attending Pittsburgh Beauty Academy and on my first week I knew I found my calling. I sold my car to pay for beauty school and started on this exciting journey. I opened my first salon at the tender age of 20 and still love every minute. I still have something to say, create and be, so our journey continues!”

Pantone’s Color of The Year for 2024 is Rooibos Tea, so it’s no surprise it echoes one of the hottest hair color trends for this fall season, Rose Crimson. And Pantone’s color description as a “full bodied red” accurately describes this now trending hair color, a new twist on the traditional “go warm” red for fall.

Because reds are among the most fade-prone of hair colors, and for our clients to get the most longevity out of this bold, robust red, we recommend an ultra-color protecting approach to both the hair color application and the at home care routine. We accomplish this with the addition of our groundbreaking Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Color Lock+ to the actual color formula for the service and also as part of the guests at home regular conditioning regimen for dynamic color investment protection.
Aside from UV protection, another key ingredient in Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ is Reishi Mushroom. It helps prevent oxidative damage during the color service, then penetrates deeply into the hair shaft to ward off damaging pollutants following treatment, going further to strengthen not only hair but also to support scalp strength.
An additional benefit is Reishi Mushroom’s anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe the scalp and help prevent inflammation that can weaken hair growth. An anti-aging effect that leaves hair looking and feeling lustrous and healthy.

The Reishi Mushroom, also known as The Mushroom of Immortality, is an Adaptogenic Mushroom known as the most famous of all Asian medicinal mushrooms touted for its unprecedented therapeutic and topical benefits including immune strengthening, mental health support, improved sleep, and even an agent against cancer, just to name a few.
As an adaptogen, it combines with other actives, using its moisturizing and antioxidant properties to reduce stress, both internally and from environmental factors such as pollution and sunlight. Reishi Mushroom has world-renowned anti-oxidative benefits and is marketed today in the form of teas, tinctures, and supplements as well as being beneficial in topical products.

Through our research and development, we at Philip Pelusi saw the unmatched benefits this hero ingredient brings in terms of what it would do for the health appearance of the hair and scalp. So, we harnessed the Reishi Mushroom’s incredible antioxidant powers to help take hair color protection to an unparalleled level as well as protecting the scalp. And we threaded this immortal mushroom throughout the entire Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi product collection to glean its benefits with every product application.

Additionally, Tela Beauty Organics Color Lock+ contains another unique ingredient, our proprietary Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex. This blend helps strengthens hair’s internal structure up to 3x’s more than that of untreated hair. Its small molecular structure, designed to penetrate deeply into the cortex, creates new bonds that help strengthen hair fiber similar to the levels in virgin hair. Not permanently, nothing can do that, but with repeated use Tela Color Lock+ it creates an environment for the hair to act, look and perform like healthy hair.

Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex acts like an oxidation shield to help protect color treated hair from surfactant or water stripping, so important especially since routine cleansing is the #1 color fader. Fiber Restore Pelusi Plex significantly reduces loss of color molecules during and after shampooing by helping restore this shield naturally found in healthy hair. This helps create long lasting color retention and conditioning effects as well as incredible vibrancy and shine.
Lastly, we prescribe each Rose Crimson hair color guest a full system of color protecting Philip Pelusi haircare along with our P2 by Philip Pelusi Color Boost in Cherrymint Bark. Add a few drops of this in with your at-home application of Tela Color Lock+. The more frequently you use it and the longer you leave it on, the more intense the ruby red hue.

Burgers at Philip Pelusi? No, not really but you’ve probably heard of Burger King’s “Impossible Burger”, Nestle’s “Awesome Burger” and Dunkin’s “Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich” all touting the benefits of these vegan or vegetarian plant-based protein sourced foods.

We are not far off the mark in some respects with the amazing plant-based protein source of our USDA Certified Organic Quinoa found throughout Philip’s Tela Beauty Organics products. But please don’t eat it, we’re talking about its incredible benefits to the hair and scalp!
Quinoa has an interesting history. Known as the ‘Sacred Mother Grain’, it’s been written that “the origins of quinoa date back 3,000 to 4,000 years, when it was first used for consumption in the Andean region of Bolivia, Peru and Columbia” and that “Incan armies survived on while on long marches”. Its also been written that “quinoa was proposed by NASA to be an ideal food for long duration space flights”.

So, what makes our quinoa so incredibly beneficial and strengthening to the hair? Our quinoa ingredient is a USDA Certified Organic Quinoa and is considered a complete protein meaning it contains all 8 essential amino acids; isoleucine, leucine, lysine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, threonine, histidine, tryptophan and valine. This means Philip’s quinoa protein helps to create stronger, more resilient hair with brilliant shine, reduced frizz and heat protection. Hair feels lux and silky smooth.

Philip’s USDA Certified Organic Quinoa is a gluten-free protein and has proven substantivity to the hair, meaning its molecular size has been perfected through Microemulsion Technology for the very deepest and long-lasting penetration for powerful protection and reparative effects to the hair.
And Philip also chooses the very best quality USDA Certified Organic Quinoa Oil, meaning cold-pressed, expressed from quinoa seeds to hydrate the hair and scalp. Cold pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing. This is true of any cold pressed oil even oils we cook with such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Just check the label to see if it’s a cold pressed version.
