Our History
The home of Elan Vitale Salon & Day Spa – the house at 172 West Main Street – has enjoyed a great deal of history since being built in 1914 by well-known local businessman Samuel L. Lambert. Lambert originally built this home as well as the famed Reeta Hotel and Lambert Theatre in Welland. The Welland County General Hospital purchased the house in 1919 and converted it to Sunniholme Rooms in 1932. “The home away from home”, operated as a rooming house for many years. The Nero family in Welland later took over the house.
Since 1988, 172 West Main Street turned its focus to salon services when prominent local hairstylist Barry Maurice and his wife Cheryl purchased the house.
Barry was well-known for his creativity and flare, especially when it came to those who enjoyed punk rock. Barry owned the property until the year 2000 when his daughter purchased the property and opened Elan Vitale Salon and Day Spa.
Lisa Maurice is a well known educator, professional and aesthetician by trade. Lisa and her husband went to great lengths to restore the house to its original glamour through countless restoration projects.
Elan Vitale grew its customer base with a stellar reputation of quality products and superior service. It still holds this status within the community today. Under the ownership of Maurice, Elan Vitale had won a number of awards for services and performance… as well as a number of podium finishes for Horticultural gardens between 2001 and 2005.
In 2007, a pair of young entrepreneurs made a leap of faith and took over the operations. Lisa Sheptenko and Jeremy Rocca brought forward much modernization and continued to build a professional team of exceptional quality beauty industry professionals.
In November of 2013, passionate entrepreneur and stylist Nikki Fairlie purchased the company. Nikki and her husband Johnny continue to be very active in the beauty industry and local community. Their new branding of their services can be found at EV Beauty Collective.
June of 2024 found the Spa changing hands again. Catriona Faragalli, former Spa Manager, purchased the Spa which operates on the second floor of 172 West Main. Nestled within EV Beauty Collective, Elan Vitale Spa remains the same luxurious experience you have come to know and apprieciate. Our team of Aestheticians are extremely experienced and have remained at Elan Vitale through many changes.
We look forward to seeing how Elan Vitale will continue to thrive and grow in the coming years!
