Joseph Secreti, a licensed cosmologist, started in the hair industry 33 years ago with his first salon in Dix Hills.  Today, owning 24 Cactus Salon locations and a cosmetology school, The Cactus Academy-A Paul Mitchell Partner School, he employees over 700 professionals here on Long Island.  “Now that we have developed our brand, the future of Cactus Salon is to bring it national
as a franchise” says Secreti.  Currently, 2 of the Cactus Salon locations are franchised.  “Our business model makes sense- offering quality services and exceptional customer service at an affordable price” is what makes Cactus Salon one of the most successful salon chains in the country.
