"We need to contribute to our community as salon and spa owners," says Pelusi. "The community is our home and also our clients' home. You get what you give. Give to your community and it will come back to you. And the cycle will never really end! I also feel it's important just to show up -- life is really about just showing up. Your/my presence at community events speaks for itself, and shows support and leadership."
On winning this award, Pelusi says he "feels so blessed to have such amazing relationships with my neighbors here in West Hollywood. It's a strong community and we support each other.
