'Peaceful retreat': Staten Island hair studio moves to new location
"When I graduated from beauty school, I continued working there but was crushed when the owner announced that she was ready to retire. But with my parents' support I was able to take ownership in 2022."
"All of our clients are so happy, because there's more parking here, and we really are at the center of it all."
"There's a lot of love and hard work in this room,"
"We wanted to help the studio stand out," she said of the shop's exterior. "But inside it is a quiet, peaceful retreat."
Bella Podurgiel began working at Positivity Hair Studio at age 16 and purchased the business in 2022 with support from her parents. She operated the salon at its Johnson Street location for three years before moving to 655 Rossville Ave. to gain more foot traffic and parking. The salon occupies a space in the Woodrow Shopping Plaza near major retailers and features bright red exterior signage and a calm, warmly toned interior with modern lighting. The Redken-certified studio was redesigned with help from her parents and officially reopened after the renovation.
