Camillo Iovieno came to the United States from Italy in 1960 to become a master barber. Twenty years after his arrival he opened the first C & C Unisex Hair Design in Plattsburg, New York, setting off a chain reaction that would lead to future openings of 11 more mall-based salon stores throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut—and nearly every one of them run by a family member. Iovieno’s daughter, Concetta Salese, worked alongside him in the family’s second store—opened in 1981 in Kingston, New York—and eventually took over her father’s position. Here, Salese tells Beauty Store Business how C & C Unisex Hair Design has slowly transformed into a retail supercenter while still keeping its roots firmly planted in family values.
