Family Is The Theme At Wellington’s Newly Opened Generations Salon Story by Courtney Watson Photos by Susan Lerner
Hair is a family affair at Generations: A Hair Salon. Anthony Gutilla, co-owner of the new Wellington salon, is proud to be a third-generation hairdresser and couldn’t be happier that two of his children decided to follow in his well-coiffed footsteps. Wellington The Magazine spent the day at Generations, which opened in April, to learn more about how Gutilla has made great style a family tradition. (Above) Generations staff members include (L-R) Kacy Gutilla, Monica Diesti, Claudia Diesti, partner Monica Hoffman, Leah Wilson, Jessica Brand, Jacky Zuric and (front) partner Anthony Gutilla.
The friendly Generations staff is immediately welcoming, and the salon is warmly lit and cheerfully decorated. As we watched Gutilla and his daughter Kacy begin to expertly cut and color a client, Gutilla explained how owning salons came to be a family business. He admits that watching his daughter and his son Michael embark upon the same career he started three decades ago is a bit surreal. WELLINGTON THE MAGAZINE • JULY 2009
