Opened by Peter Alvarez in 1999, the PA Systems Educational Center is offering programs, workshops, and classes in various advanced salon techniques. Alvarez, a master haircutter, hair colorist, make-up artist and originator of radial razor techniques, will share his expertise with you and your staff at his fabulous Lenox salon located in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts.

Programs offered at the center, include Advanced Hair Techniques, Creative Haircutting and Basic Make-up for the salon and will be available in two, three and five day formats.

Our guests will stay at one of the lovely B&B’s in historic Lenox Village and can also take advantage of the fine restaurants, shops and galleries that are all within walking distance of the salon.

Personal services offered by PA Systems during your stay include manicures, pedicures, make-up applications, and facials. We can also arrange for some great outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, yoga, tai chi, horseback riding and canoeing. To learn more about Lenox and the Berkshires, visit www.lenox.org.
