Patrice Vinci

Since opening her eponymous salon in 2008, Patrice Vinci has surrounded herself with an experienced team of accomplished stylists. Awards and accolades from Elle, Allure, The Improper Bostonian, and Boston Magazine line the walls of her Newbury Street space.

Trained in the legendary parametrics hair cutting system, Patrice received extensive color training from Wella, Redken, L’Oreal and Schwarzkopf.  While in Los Angeles, she learned the art of balayage from some of the industry's top celebrity artists. Committed to continuing education, Patrice frequently travels the country to attend industry conferences and master classes to learn the latest trends in fashion, beauty, and style.

In 2003 Patrice won “Best Hair on the Red Carpet” at the Toronto Film Festival. This accolade launched her celebrity styling and coloring career and she has since worked with many actors for film, television, and red carpet events. Vinci is now the go-to colorist for motion picture and television shooting on location in New England as well as Boston's famed Huntington Theater. Her film and television work include Spirited, Knives Out, Defending Jacob, Godmothered, CODA, American Hustle, Black Mass, Old School and many more.

Many local and national celebrities, politicians, and socialites frequently call upon her for personal appearances and important events. But Patrice most loves working with her beloved salon clients daily.
