“My career started when I was very young. Age 12 to be exact. My dad was a stylist as were many of his family members. So, this is an industry that is encoded in my DNA.  My dad, Joseph Victorio, was my mentor, my educator and my inspiration. He is also one of the reasons for opening Karen Joseph Salon. A key component of our success will be achieved through our commitment to growing each member of our team, modeling the behaviors that my father demonstrated every day of his life.  Although he passed several years ago, Joe is with me every day. I derive my passion and determination to build a business that he would be proud of from our mutual love for each other and our extended family and friends.  He taught me about caring for people and Loving them inside and out. 

I truly believe Beauty starts from the inside out.  My intention is to convey that to my clients as well as my staff. I’m grateful for my many clients who have been loyal to me for so many years.  This is for YOU!”
