OUR STORY
So why light your salon with a technology from the 1800s? Almost three decades ago Beth Minardi, world-renowned hair colorist and industry educator, and Carmine Minardi, world-renowned stylist and industry educator, had the same thought and began a journey of invention, testing and design to create the perfect family of lighting just for salons and spas. Today, the Minardi family of salon/spa lighting can be seen in almost 1000 salons across North America and in Beth’s “Studio B” salon off of Lexington Avenue in NYC and at Carmine’s “Carmine Minardi NYC” salon off of Madison Avenue in NYC.
MISSION
Minardi Color Perfect Lighting combines cutting edge technology with an exclusive range of LED bulbs and fixtures that makes any salon or spa the perfect environment for working, coloring, cutting, styling and retailing. Our energy efficient, color accurate LED lighting will be an asset to any salon or spa seeking to create an environment where client comfort and high quality work go hand in hand.
Whenever I am designing a salon or spa, one of the first calls I make is to the team at Minardi Color Perfect Lighting. My projects require perfection and Minardi Color Perfect Lighting has never let me down. I would encourage anybody who is considering purchasing lighting for their salon or spa to make them their first choice.

Working with Howard, the President of Minardi Color Perfect Lighting, has been such a pleasure. Together, we have crafted a unique design plan to capture the essence of what we do in the beauty industry. He has created the ideal lighting concept for displaying artwork in 2-D (our retail space) as well as 3-Dimensional planes (our clients). Every corner of our salon has a customized lighting solution to capture the ambiance and enhance our artists' finished work. Our clients leave feeling their best and our employees are able to construct very detailed work in optimal conditions. We couldn't ask for a better service. We highly recommend other retail establishments and salon owners to consider Minardi Color Perfect Lighting for any and all lighting needs as Howard has made planning, conceptualizing and navigating through our building's structural bones a fun experience. He offered a level of professionalism and efficiency unmatched by any other we've come across in this industry.

As the owner of luxury salons in Connecticut I have to make certain that the client experience remains at a very high level. When I decided to remodel my salons, I wanted to create a look and feel that would take the experience to an even higher level. I knew that lighting would play an important role and I consulted with Howard, the President of Minardi Color Perfect Lighting, and together with my architect we went over the look and feel I wanted to create. The finished product turned out exactly as I hoped it would. My lighting is crisp, accurate and gives off no heat which enhances the client experience and enables my staff to work at a high level. I highly recommend any salon owner who is in the market for lighting to consider Minardi Color Perfect lighting for their salon.

CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS
Minardi Lighting completely changed the overall appearance of our salon. It added elegance while still being very functional. The lighting allows our colorists to see the exact tones and hues of their clients' hair. It helps make us better stylists. We are very happy with the system and already have plans to make our other salon a “Minardi” salon.

I have used the Minardi lights in a smaller salon for several years before opening my 3000 sq. ft. 15 chair salon in Uptown Dallas. Not only do I notice the amazing hues from the Minardi lights, my clients notice as well. With the stunning resemblance to natural lighting, the Minardi lights will go into any and all of my future salons as well.

These are the best lights I ever saw.

Voted Best Colorist in Dallas by Allure Magazine, August 2007
This lighting is significant because it allows the colorist to see exactly what the hair color will look like… true skin tones and hues can be seen to ensure that the most natural color is achieved.
