Kelly Cardenas Salon – A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon celebrated its official grand opening last night at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino with John Paul DeJoria, Cardenas and business partner Marc Jay.
Before cutting the ribbon to open the new space, DeJoria addressed the crowd, “Kelly is one of the great artists and from the moment I met him, I knew he was destined to be a star. I flew here straight from Texas to help celebrate tonight and we are very proud to be associated with him and his team.”
With wife Brooklyn and parents by his side, Cardenas gave thanks and appreciation to his team, guests, friends and family that has surrounded and helped him through the years. He then brought the house down with an impromptu rap of the chorus from the song “Hate It or Love It” by The Game, expressing that DeJoria, Jay and the team at Kelly Cardenas Salon are all MVPs.
Guests were treated to salon tours, passed appetizers by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and cocktails by Moet Chandon, Belvedere, Patron and Hug L’Originale. DJ Twisted provided the soundtrack for the night while guests captured memories of the evening in a photo booth replica of the salon’s signature “Color Bar.” Larry Ruvo presented an engraved bottle of wine, congratulating the salon on its opening.
