Domingo
Domingo is a native of Seattle, but he has spent the last 20+ years in Los Angeles, so he now considers L.A. home.
He started his career as a barber before going on beauty school. His advanced training has included Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy seminars. In addition, he was the Artistic Director at Juan Juan Salon of Beverly Hills, and was part of the team at Estetica and Nelson J., also in Beverly Hills.
Domingo opened Paint Shop Beverly Hills Nail Salon in 1999, for his wife, so she would get out of his hair. (That’s a joke). Actually, they both worked together on the concept, and she managed Paint Shop while he continued to work in Beverly Hills. There, he built a loyal clientele and tosseled the tresses of Olivia Newton-John, Minnie Driver, Susan Dey and Susie Blakely. After 10 years, he decided he could be in the same room with his wife on a more full time basis. (Another joke). So Domingo came up with the idea to create a new salon which in not all about hair, not all about nails, but a hybrid, a marriage of the best of both worlds, where people know they have found the perfect fit.
