Hispanic Heritage Month: Local businesses contributing millions to Central Florida’s economy.

As we continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re looking at the economic impact of the community.

Latino-owned businesses generate thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in the Central Florida economy.

“I was a new, young, budding entrepreneur. I had a vision or a dream, but I didn’t know how to put everything together,” Phillip Rosado said.

Rosado is the owner of Educe Salon, one of the most successful high-end salons in Orlando.

The Puerto Rican-born stylist remembers how hard it was getting started.

“I applied for so many different scholarships. I got one – Orlando VoTech and it was for $1,500,” Rosado said.

That start back in the early 90s propelled Rosado to the best hair schools across the U.S. and on to style hair for top pop artists like the Backstreet Boys.

Transforming Hair Styles and Buildings.

Some of you who have been around may remember Chan’s Chinese, located on Colonial Drive. Chan’s closed back in 2020, and luckily, the spot didn’t stay vacant for long. Not only did a new business move in, they gave the building an incredible makeover.

Chan’s is now Educe Salon, an elite, full-service salon owned by couple Philip and Alicia Rosado. If the name sounds familiar, Educe Salon is not new to Orlando. In fact, they were previously located just around the corner on Mills Avenue. When the opportunity to move into a larger space came up, Philip and Alicia reached out to the city’s business development team to take advantage of some of the small business incentive programs available to make necessary updates to the building and create the aesthetically unique space they had long dreamed of.

The larger space allows the couple to achieve their dream of having a salon large enough to educate and mentor new and seasoned stylists. For Philip and Alicia, a salon should be more than a place of work, it should be a place where stylists can receive the support and training necessary to help them grow and mature in their craft.

You can visit Educe Salon at their new location at 1901 East Colonial Drive, or learn more at educesalon.com.

Educe Salon’s Hair Stylist Chelsea Milligan Receives Top 100 Stylist Award

We are so proud of Chelsea for making the Top 100 hair stylists of 2017 named by industry leader, Modern Salon! We are honored, proud, and excited to have witnessed the rise of her success in our Orlando salon, Educe Salon. Chelsea started as an associate to our Owner, Phillip Rosado 3 short years ago and has taken Orlando by storm ever since. Phillip remembers the first day of her stetting the associate program at Educe and saying to his business partner and wife, Alicia, “She is our next rock star, watch.” Look at her now!

We asked Chelsea a few questions about her career so far, how she keeps going, and what inspires her on a daily basis. Here is her response:

“You have to put in the work. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance pays off. Never stop loosing your drive in our industry or thinking you don’t need to go to a class, you can always take away something. Creativity never goes un noticed and staying educated, keeping up with trends, and having a fierce passion for the art of hair is a driving force for my success. I do not work a 9-5 job. I eat, sleep, think, and talk hair 24-7!

Chelsea shares her knowledge every day at Educe, and she states that “being inspired by her co workers and the talent at Educe Salon keeps her going. Knowing the education, she receives from both Educe, and outside influences keeps pushing her boundaries and keeps her fire lit!

Chelsea certainly has put in the work, and we couldn’t be more proud of her! View Chelsea Milligan’s Stylist Profile.
