Crozet, VA Set to open in early 2009 in the Old Trail Village Center, Face Value Salon and Studio, brings luxurious yet affordable exquisite salon services to western Albemarle County. Created in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Old Trail Village is a thriving community of new homes and a unique town center supporting the residents with quality amenities.

Along with traditional hair styling for both men and women, Face Value will offer a full range of services, including facial care, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and make-up consultation. Old Trail resident and Salon Owner Lucinda Riley, a former model and pro make-up artist is committed to featuring eco-friendly products low in ammonia and other irritants, and will be using formaldehyde-free nail polish which is safe for pregnant women and children. An expert in skin care and make-up, Lucinda will also offer a private label line of make-up.

Former Wilhelmina model Lucinda Riley gained valuable experience in both technique and salon management over her career as a make-up artist for Estée Lauder, Revlon, M.A.C., and Lancôme. A stint as Front Desk Manager for José Eber in Beverly Hills taught her the finer points of V.I.P. customer service. Her current success as a bridal hair and make-up stylist, combined with her passion for beauty, inspired her to open her first salon.

Old Trail Village Developer, Justin Beights, said of the new salon, “We at Beights Corporation are particularly thrilled with this new opportunity, as Lucinda embodies the core values of Old Trail Village. Not only will she bring necessary services to the Old Trail and Crozet-area residents, but the fact that Lucinda will live and work in the same community is our goal.”
