Reinventing diPietro Todd

Reinventing diPietro Todd-

Breathing new life into diPietro Todd Salons + Academy is what Andrew and I have been committed to doing since 1988 when our doors first opened. With that being said, we’re very proud to announce that we recently brought Amita Moticka and Sam Hayes into our partnership for our Mill Valley and Union Square locations. They both have been working at diPietro Todd for 15+ years and have contributed so much to our success that we couldn’t be more delighted to have them officially join our team as partners.   After the big announcement to the staff they all responded with rounds of applause and unanimously said they were very excited to see them both get more involved.   We’ll all have to wait and see the new mood they create while adding it to the mix at diPietro Todd.  I have faith that everyone will enjoy the journey.

CCA Annual Fashion Show 2013

diPietro Todd has worked on many fashion shows in the past 25 years, but seriously, the CCA show that took place on May 17th was one of the best ever. The partners at diPietro Todd had the honor of sitting front and center to admire the beautifully diverse models showcasing the designs from the students who were selected as top in their class. The collections were so beautiful, honestly I thought they were as amazing or more than anything I’d seen at New York Fashion Week this year. How the judges decided on a winner was beyond me. And I shouldn’t forget to mention…. the hair was perfect!

Thank you Moises and the creative team at diPietro Todd.

BuildOn Charity Event

One of the things I love most about this business and hairdressers in general is their love of ‘giving back’. Historically, the beauty industry has been, and continuously is, one of the most generous communities. I’ve been involved in charitable causes since before my teens and I’m so happy I’ve picked a career which supports and encourages such endeavors.

On May 3rd myself and some of the diPietro Todd partners and managers had the pleasure of sponsoring and attending the 2013 BuildOn Bay Area Dinner at the Saint Francis. BuildOn is a nonprofit organization which takes high-risk kids and gets them involved in community service and outreach programs, raising funds to then build schools in third world countries. All of us were touched by the students’ stories and look forward to continuing our support to this cause (in that one evening BuildOn raised over $720k!).

25th Anniversary Party!

diPietro Todd  Salons + Acdemy 1988- 2013. It was an emotional evening for Andrew and I while we opened our hearts and shared our sentiments about being in business for 25 years. We Toasted with champagne, told old stories and had a good laugh about the fact that we’ve been in business longer that most of our assistants have been alive. Andrew said that we’re really just 25 yrs. young and just getting started with still so much to do.

What I know is this—-We’re still living by our mission statement……diPietro Todd—dPT….Discipline, Passion + Truth.

Thank you everyone at dPT and thank you dear clients for your continued loyalty.  You’ve all been a part of a dream come true and we couldn’t have done it without you.

diPietro Todd Announces a New Creative Director Moises Villa

A naturally gifted stylist right from the start, Moi Villa excelled in diPietro Todd’s “Development” training program and it was clear that he would go far at dPT. Ten years later he has been offered the position as “Creative Director” and we are very excited to see how his innate sense of creativity and style will inspire the team at dPT. I always told Moises from the very beginning that he would make diPietro Todd famous one day. Now is his opportunity.

Sincerely,

Kim Todd

Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes Holiday Pary

When everyone was thinking— Mayan Apolcolypse, Andrew and Michael O’Rourke went in the other direction and decided that Nursery Rhymes and Fairy tales was the theme for this years Xmas Party. The Supper Club was the best venue ever with endless entertainment and merriment and it was clear that everyone had a fabulous time. Kristin Bowers (sp) was unanimously selected for the “Best Costume” prize as the spitting image of the evil witch from Sleeping Beauty. When I spun around and saw Moi Villa (Creative Director), I think the entire city heard me scream. He was so scary, he was hardly recognizable. This was a party I wish I could go to all over again. Time flies when you having fun.
