ADA DE LA CRUZ
With over ten years of experience in the salon industry and comprehensive training across all aspects of hair design and coloring, as well as licensing as an eyelash extension stylist and educator, Miss De La Cruz has been the proprietor of Stratford's premier destination for aesthetic services. She takes pride in serving a diverse clientele, including individuals from various nationalities, and maintains an international guest roster that travels from afar to receive her innovative and advanced services.
In September 2025, she expanded her professional offerings by leveraging her high-traffic, strategically located premises to accommodate other beauty professionals through the introduction of a salon suite model. This led to the opening of BESPOKE SALON SUITE by Gina Lariccia. Building on the success experienced by Ms. Lariccia, who has cultivated a loyal client base for over twenty-five years and offers spa services at her location, Miss De La Cruz plans to further develop her business in 2026. She has been collaborating with a brand identity coach to establish a leasing model for commercial spaces dedicated to other beauty professionals.
As a certified colorist and extension designer, she will also curate an advanced educational workshop to enhance professional development in her field. Her passion for empowering others to achieve their highest potential remains at the core of her work, and her clients consistently feel valued and prioritized from the moment they sit in her chair.
