Since opening her eponymous salon in 2008, Patrice Vinci has surrounded herself with an experienced team of accomplished stylists. Awards and accolades from the likes of Elle and Allure line the walls of her Newbury Street space.

Patrice received extensive color training from Wella, Redken, and L’Oreal. While in Los Angeles, she learned the art of balayage from some of the industry’s top celebrity artists and many local and national celebrities, politicians, and socialites call upon her for personal appearances and important events.

Patrice’s playful personality and laid-back demeanor endear her to a devoted clientele, while her ongoing awards continue to bring in new faces. She credits much of her success to a love of the arts and the talented people that surround her. Patrice Vinci Salon celebrates its 10-year Anniversary in November.

Gina deWolfe is a contemporary leathersmith and designer based in Boston, MA. After she discovered her grandfather’s collection of leathersmith tools she became fascinated with the craft. What began as a creative outlet has organically evolved into a brand and brick-and-mortar retail shop on Newbury Street, with a focus on simple and sleek leather goods that are hand-built to last. With a holistic approach to design, deWolfe carefully considers each leather hide and utilizes its subtle imperfections as a reminder of its organic origins. Each piece a contemporary classic, her designs are made to weather a lifetime of adventure in the modern world.

Aisling Organic Cosmetics is a revolutionary line of high-performance and organic makeup. It was started after founder, Krysta Lewis, had been sick for years and discovered the culprit was her makeup. Not being able to find products on the market that were truly pure and long-lasting led to the concept. Since it launched in 2016, Aisling has grown to over 70+ locations nationwide and Krysta has been named Young Entrepreneur of the Year and one of the “Most Influential Entrepreneurs of 2018” by Entrepreneur magazine. www.aislingorganics.com.
