What inspired you to found Moda-Rey Salon & Spa 20 years ago?
I started doing hair at the age of 14. I had been working in salons after school and during school breaks. At the age of 21 I had already been in the industry for 6 years, and I felt like it was time to work for myself. That was when I decided to open my first salon.
What is your favorite thing about New York Fashion Week?
One of my favorite things about fashion week is just being inspired. Although the pace can be crazy and sometimes annoying, knowing that you are taking part in creating the new trends around the world makes it all worth it. It’s also a great time to reconnect with your peers that you sometimes only see at fashion week.
