Lisa Russ & La Peinado
Lisa Russ was eleven the first time she walked into La Peinado. She met the owner, Lila, and told her she would work there one day, and … well … she meant it. Decades later, she doesn’t just work at the salon on Tower Avenue; she owns it.
In this episode of Local Heart, we spend a day in Superior with Lisa and the guests who have been sitting in her chairs since the beginning, some of them long enough that their regular appointment is less about the look and more about the conversations and friendships.
How NBC Supported Lisa’s Success
Buying the place was never the plan for Lisa but, when Lila offered to sell, Lisa took the risk. She had no idea where to start, so she called her banker. He didn’t just hand her a loan. He also told her that he knew she could do this, and that gave her the hunger to succeed. And that’s the same hunger she’s now working daily to deliver to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
