Bel Air Welcomes Bella Vita Salon To Bond Street

BEL AIR, MD — The town of Bel Air welcomed Bella Vita Salon this week with a ribbon cutting. Town officials and the county executive were on hand for the event on Bond Street.

Cara Piscopo is the owner of the salon, which means "beautiful life" in Italian.

"I established Bella Vita for just that reason. Creating beautiful hair and nails, while enjoying a beautiful life too," Piscopo said after opening in January.

Bella Vita Salon carries Redken, Living Proof and Pureology products. At the salon, stylists specialize in everything from dimensional highlighting to extensions to facial waxing to nail art.

Piscopo said she has been working in the industry for 13 years.

"From the moment I first stepped into a salon, I knew I not only wanted to be a stylist but wanted to one day own a salon," said Piscopo. "Here I am years later, and I am living my dream."

Celebrating with Piscopo that her dream had come true were Bel Air Mayor Amy Chmielewski and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman, among other dignitaries.

Bella Vita Salon is in the Hamilton Building at 140 North Bond Street in Bel Air.
