THE VISIONARIES
PAUL + MARIE GAGLIOTI
Paul Gaglioti began his career as a hair stylist in the early 1970’s. He worked in New Jersey and New York City where he trained under the Iconic Paul Mitchell and assisted Vidal Sassoon at stage events. As a young man he became a salon owner and then directed his focus on training and mentoring his staff. He is a true visionary who was intrigued by the next generation and how they would contribute to the culture of beauty. Paul developed an in-salon education program that has flourished for decades creating hundreds of viable, lifelong careers for his staff.
In addition to the educational program, Paul introduced many innovative concepts to his staff and community by building a Salon for Men, utilizing GREEN business practices and building design. The men’s salon was built under The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program and was a successful business with a unique concept. Due to the Global Pandemic, Gaglioti decided to move the staff to his Flag ship location to be a part of a positive culture in an established location.
He then welcomed the concept of integrating beauty and wellness practices with the medical arena. Clients are seeking higher level skin care technologies, treatments, products and services. Paul has collaborated with a local Plastic Surgeon to bring this vision to life at Dieci Lifestyle Spa.
Marie Messina Gaglioti began her career in the beauty industry in the mid 1980’s as a makeup artist while attending Montclair State College where she was an art major. She also met and married her husband Paul Gaglioti during that time as well. They have been working together every day since their first meeting, and as a team, they built their current businesses first Dieci Lifestyle Spa in 1995, then Dieci Colori Cosmetics 2003 and Dieci Uomo, Salon for Men 2013. Marie contributed to the overall design and interior decorating of both locations and she was instrumental in researching green building practices for the men salon.
Dieci Colori Cosmetics was created by Marie in early 2003, after nearly two decades as a makeup artist. She wanted to provide a client friendly line that features an array of wearable, hypoallergenic formulas and classic shades. Since its inception, the makeup collection has evolved into a line that hosts mostly mineral products which boasts healthier, more natural ingredients.
Today she is involved in the overall direction of the business including the new collaboration with the new Medical Spa director. She introduced two new wellness services; the Salt Lounge (Halotherapy) and the Infrared Sauna.
