About our guest:
Patricia Gervasi from Gervasi & Co
As early as eighth grade, Patricia knew she wanted to be involved in the beauty industry, beginning as a model when was younger. She soon realized that she was better suited for the behind-the-scenes aspect in working with hair. In high school, Patricia took cosmetology courses, and once she graduated, she worked in a barbershop, taking haircuts for as little as $3. From there, Patricia was able to hone her skills as a stylist, refining her techniques in both cutting and color until she took her first full-time stylist position in Boston at age 20.
Patricia then spent 14 years working as a stylist in the city, further developing her skills, but always feeling as though she could also combine styling skills with being a businesswoman. She started working with Matrix color and products about five years ago, and quickly moved towards becoming an educator for the company. Fast forward to 2015, to the grand opening for Patricia’s own salon, Gervasi & Company. Gervasi & Co. has been servicing the wonderful people of Milton, Quincy, and surrounding areas ever since, and has become a staple in the community for those who seek a high-end hair and makeup experience in the suburbs.
