Meet the Management...

Scott Stettin
(Salon Owner)

Scott found himself interested in hair very early on in life. He started sweeping floors at a barbershop in Cleveland’s Slavic Village at the age of ten. Soon he started cutting hair of friends and family members. He discovered a natural talent, and at sixteen he decided to enroll in cosmetology school at Fairview Academy.

After graduating from high school, Scott trained as an assistant at Europa International Salon & Spa in downtown Cleveland. During this time he had the opportunity to travel to hair shows and workshops, such as Toni & Guy and Vidal Sassoon. As his hairdressing skills and industry experience developed, Scott began building a loyal clientele of his own, falling further in love with his chosen career.

In 1998 Scott teamed up with David Petrella to open David Scott Salon in Great Northern Mall. Here they created the “David Scott Experience”, in which all guests are treated with exceptional service and a welcoming smile.

David Scott Salon was successful and grew rapidly. In 2005 Scott and David decided to expand to a larger space within the mall and offer a complete list of spa services. Today Scott continues to strive for excellence in his own work and with his salon team members at David Scott Salon & Spa.


David Petrella

David, co-owner of David Scott Salon and Spa, is an 18 year veteran of the salon industry, who prides himself on being one of the most well-rounded hair designers in the area. His expertise in all aspects of hair design, allows him to meet any and all needs of his clients, including cutting, coloring, highlighting, perming, hair extensions, formal finishing, updos, makeup and lash extensions. His unique background in art, photography and dance gives him a different perspective from most designers. Hair is another form of "art", that allows David to use his strong creative abilities, while developing one of the top salons & spas in Northeast Ohio.

While free-lancing as a makeup artist, David discovered he had talent to do hair. He attended M'Lord's School of Cosmetology under the direction of Bob Fazi & John Ciccoli and received his license in 1990. He has furthered his education by attending the Vidal Sassoon, Wella and Graham Webb academies, as well as many hair shows and seminars. David feels education is the key to staying current and strives to grow, both as a stylist and a business owner.

After working locally for 8 years, David decided to team up with Scott, and opened David Scott Salon, Nov 18th 1998. In Feb 2004, they moved to a new location to expand the salon and opened the spa. As a true entrepreneur, David is always looking for ways to improve and develop the salon/spa to provide exemplary customer service and raise the barre in the industry. David is very proud of the team they have and enjoys seeing them grow professionally and personally.
