Kelly Deconda – Stylist

Kelly Deconda, a proud and happy newlywed, has always been interested in doing hair.  While in high school she wanted to go into the cosmetology program – knowing that this is what she was meant to do – but allowed her guidance counselor to talk her out of it.  Following that counselor’s advice, she went off to college to pursue a career for which she soon realized she had no passion.

In 2009, Kelly made the life-altering decision to to enroll in the Toledo Academy of Beauty Culture and found what she’d been missing.  She graduated in 2010 and joined the Salvatore Capelli staff in January of 2011 assisting Cindi.  Since diving in to her chosen calling, Kelly has enjoyed success in a number of specialties including smoothing treatments and is our house texture specialist.  Kelly continues to gain inspiration from attending national hair shows.

Personally, Kelly enjoys caring for her sweet little pug, Bella and spending time with her nephew, Nolan.
