Longtime Naples residents Frank and Laura Rubinelli have opened Stilista, an upscale beauty salon specializing in hair care, manicures, pedicures and facial waxing.
Laura Rubinelli, a professional stylist, stepped out of the business for a period to raise their young children. When she was ready to go back to work, she and husband Frank decided to set up their own salon, the first of its kind.
“Frank is a general contractor, so he helps from the building and layout aspect,” says Laura. “We both love Mercato, and feel this is the place to be. Our shop is intimate with six stations for hair styling, two nail techs stations and two for pedicures. We hand-selected the stylists for their expertise and clientele.”
The hair stylists work as independent contractors and are allowed to bring their client base from their previous work place.
“Top stylists develop a loyal following,” continues Laura. “So, we want those professionals here, bringing their clientele to our shop.”
Stilista carries the exclusive line of Kerastase and Unite, luxury hair products.
“Only upscale salons carry these beauty products,” said Laura. “We are very proud to be one of the few in the area to do so. Our shop is very chic with dark wood flooring and white comfortable chairs. We want to give our clients the best experience with top service and products in a pleasing environment.”
Stilista is located at 9128 Strada Place, Suite 10112. Call 239-431-5171 to make an appointment. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday. For more information: 239.254.1702, mercatoshops.com, or e-mail us at stilistainc@comcast.net.
