DeCola Salon Named to the 2026 Salon Today Top 200 for the Sixth Consecutive Year

We’re honored to share that DeCola Salon has been named to the 2026 Salon Today Top 200, marking our sixth consecutive year receiving this national recognition.

The announcement was made on February 17, 2026, and this year’s honor is especially meaningful for our team. After five years being recognized in the Growth category, DeCola Salon was awarded in the Business Builders category for the first time, highlighting the systems and innovations that support our long-term success.

What the Salon Today Top 200 Means

The Salon Today Top 200 is one of the most prestigious recognitions in the professional beauty industry. Each year, the program honors top-performing salons across North America for excellence in leadership, business strategy, innovation, and growth.

Salons are selected across several categories that highlight different areas of business success. The Business Builders category recognizes salons that implement impactful ideas and systems that help drive sustainable growth.

As Salon Today describes it:

“Taking a risk in business can result in a harsh lesson or a business-building success story. From a trendy new service category to a tweak in business practices, these salons shared the new factors that have propelled growth in their beauty-based businesses.”

Building Systems That Support Long-Term Growth

Our recognition in the Business Builders category reflects the intentional systems and strategies we’ve built to support both our team and our clients. This includes the development of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, which reinforces our commitment to providing an exceptional experience every time you visit the salon.

As shared in the official Salon Today feature:

“We started manufacturing wealth ourselves and created our own private-label hair care line, and now a hairbrush. We learned to break the habit of buying on autopilot. Today, we own our commercial salon property, with an attached rental property, which is also building wealth.”

Salon owner Lou DeCola shares what this recognition means for the future of the business:

“For years, growth was the outcome. This year, we were recognized for the system that makes growth sustainable.”

A Thank You to Our Clients and Team

Receiving this honor for the sixth year in a row would not be possible without the support of our incredible clients and the dedication of our talented team. Every appointment, every service, and every guest experience contributes to the culture that makes DeCola Salon what it is today.

We are proud to continue raising the standard for salon excellence while serving the Exton and Chester County community we love.
