Johnstown salon receives national recognition

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — A local salon has received national recognition.

Jesse Peles, the creative director of Peles Salon with locations in Johnstown and Greensburg, has been inducted into Intercoiffure America, a prestigious, professional association that helps determine the standards of the industry.

It's a big deal for the area as the organization represents only the top 1 percent of salons in the country.

Peles said his clientele and hardworking team helped propel the salon to national recognition.

Peles, who grew up in the hair industry, said it really puts Johnstown on the map for hair.

Peles said only about seven people are inducted into the organization each year, after meeting rigorous standards. Salons are judged on sales growth, portfolios and stage work.
