If George Martin was the fifth Beatle, Peter Ferritto may be the sixth.
Luxuriating in a den of Fab Four memorabilia, the hairdresser commands enough London artifacts to please Austin Powers.
But pop culture kitsch is mere window dressing in Ferritto's world. It takes a back seat to the real attraction: hair styling.
"When you have 300 clients returning to your chair, you must be doing something right," says Ferritto, snipping hair one recent afternoon.
Traffic rushed past his salon on Park Boulevard and Preston Road, but stylists and customers chatted oblivious to the commotion outside.
"We try to create a relaxed atmosphere in here," said Ferritto, paying close attention to the task at hand. "When you put in the hours we do, a fun atmosphere's a good thing".
And he should know. For 20 years, Ferritto has coiffed clients in the Plano area. Only recently did he consider opening his own business.
Inspired by his current partner [Paul Norton] who struck out on his own, Ferritto envisioned the salon only a few months ago. Helping fulfill that dream was a client in real estate. They considered several locations before finding Suite 98 at 4721 Park Boulevard.
With a nip here and a tuck there, the space became Abbey Road Salon. A homage to both the Liverpool lads and British culture, the space comes alive with hundres of clients and a handful of London hair specialists. Like a pub without the Guinness, the space flows with spirits of another sort.
"What we offer is different from other salons," said Ferritto. "First, we're mostly Londoners, or former Brits. Second, our training makes us stand out".
Unlike many stateside stylists, who frequently gain nine months' traning before cutting hair, Brits complete lengthy apprenticeships before taking scissors to scalp.
Helping Ferritto run the salon is Paul Norton, the aforementioned colleague who struck out on his own and inspired his friend. "Paul's a great chap. He's really helped me make this fly".
"It's not only Brits who work here; Americans do, too," said Ferrito. "I don't care if your're Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, French. If you can do a good job and are a good fit, you're welcome here."
"My work is a big part of my life. I like being able to satisfy people in the sense that they come in looking for something, not feeling their best and leaving feeling like a million dollars". Or pounds.
