Generations Welcomes Sandra Williams Salon Staff Longtime Wellington business owners Monica Hoffman and Anthony Gutilla of Generations: A Hair Salon and Sandy Besse of Sandra Williams Salon recently teamed up, combining more than 30 years of expertise in the industry to enhance the existing quality customer service at Generations. Hoffman and Besse are confident the merger will work. “We pursue the same goals,” Hoffman said. “And our vision is to become the leading salon in the western communities,” Besse added. Gutilla, Hoffman and Besse are involved in the Wellington community as members of the Wellington and Palms West chambers of commerce, and supporters of local charities. “Our staff is very experienced and a great mix of professionals and hair specialists,” Gutilla said. Generations features well-known stylists from the Sandra Williams Salon, including Besse, Ashley Latulippe, Tammy Palozzola and Mary MacDougall, an expert in innovative systems for nails. “Mary’s expertise in nails is unique,” Besse said. “You have to see the smiles on the clients’ faces with nails and toes dressed in glitter or pink and white gels.” “The nail service is a new addition to our salon, and instead of having a regular nail station, we will have a lounge chair and a pedicure to make our clients feel totally relaxed and comfortable,” Hoffman said. “It fits our desire to cater to our customers’ needs.” Gutilla said the most enjoyable aspect of being a part of this team is its dedication to customer service. 54 December 2010 • WELLINGTON THE MAGAZINE
