This is what happens when you're a much appreciated employee. A salon in Connecticut owned by Pio Imperati who has been in the business for over 50-years sold it to a 15-year employee for only $1, “Eventually, it was a dream of mine come true to be able to turn the salon over to someone worthy.”
Kathy Moura was hired when in high school, “She’s a good hairdresser, a good barber, she’s very nice. I sold it to her for $1 so we would remain friends.”
Moura's bond with Imperati, “We grew like a family. That’s how he treats everyone who walks into the salon. Any person who works here, he wants you to flourish and become something of yourself.” More here.
