­A Philip Pelusi “Did You Know?” Timeless ~ Somewhere in Berlin

Posted on John Farrell O'NeillPosted in BuZZworthy

This super cool cut and color design was created by Philip around 1969!  He was commissioned to create something spectacular for the cover of a German avant-garde magazine.  And no doubt he achieved it, starting the beginning of our reputation as a high fashion salon group all over the globe. 

What was the inspiration for this edgy design?  Philip had a client that had moved to the USA from Germany with her family when she was around 7 years old.  All grown up in this photo as you can see, she wears Philip’s design well!  He was so inspired by her that he created this architectural Volumetric Haircut, Hair Color and Design specially for her!

Before there was Instagram and even Facebook, there were magazines!  Lots and lots of magazines!  Powerful publications in which to get your product published for the public to see, you had to win over the magazine’s esteemed Beauty Editors who literally received hundreds of products to try and review each week!  These folks were the “influencers” of their time!  And to get one of these coveted spots in a national or international magazine was truly triumphant!

Here is one example of thousands of press coverage pieces Philip Pelusi has been receiving since the 1960’s when Philip got this start.  Victoria Beckham on the cover of ALLURE and P2 by Philip Pelusi Exfoliating Shampoo Treatment (now P2 Roots Exfoliating Shampoo Treatment) as one of the Editors picks inside the pages!  Take a trip back to 2008 with this impressive PR piece and one of Philip’s bottle designs from over the years!  Plus 4 other press pieces featuring P2 by Philip Pelusi Daily HaiRx!

This philosophy also emboldens his life-long goal to raise industry standards and elevate the beauty profession and specifically the Stylist.  This was one of the driving factors in his creating The Philip Pelusi Center Talent Development as a design center for his team to excel, launching great careers!

A Philip Pelusi “Did You Know?” ~ A Product Line for the Decades

Posted on John Farrell O'NeillPosted in BuZZworthy, Uncategorized

“It was a huge breakthrough when I realized that I could transform and synthesize a product into what I wanted to see and feel.  So, I continued to create products myself in hope to fulfill my need for high quality and performance.” Philip Pelusi

The Philip Pelusi products we all know and love as stylists today are truly the evolution of an artist.  That is, Philip Pelusi the product artist.  Philip is most definitely an artist of hair and was awarded prestigious “World Master” by Art and Fashion Group International in 1995.

But in 1965 when Philip first started working with hair, he felt limited, not by his own level of creativity but by the products available on the marketplace.  So, the product artist in him was born.  Taking a position of “100% commitment to quality”, says Pelusi, he sourced out the best chemists and ingredient house in the world to create his formulas, setting no limit on budget for research and development. 

And he continues to create new products to this day as well as update and upgrade his second to none Philip Pelusi haircare formulations from over the decades and plans to well into the future.  Take a look at the evolution of just a few of Philip’s one of kind products…
