wait and it ends up costing the hotel money. It’s a poor reflection
on the hotel. But since bringing Premier Elevator on, our elevators
have been operating more reliably.”
Convenience and professionalism go hand in hand as visitors
arrive and tourism ambassadors have the opportunity to make a
standout first impression as they greet arriving guests or welcome
them to the area.
From the concierge at the hotel to the corporate event planner,
every member of the tourism industry knows appearance and
attitude are important when interacting with visitors, and having
someone in the community to help keep them looking professional
is critical. Todd Patrick & Co. Salon in Ormond Beach is one of
Volusia County’s go-to mainstays for all things fresh and trendy.
Strategically located on Granada Boulevard in the historic
Ormond Beach district, the salon and barber shop has a clientele
list of tourism ambassadors and visitors
alike who book their appointments with
their favorite stylists, sometimes up to a
year in advance.
Opening their doors in 2011, Todd
Patrick and husband Budd McClery
made their move with precision timing,
as the historic corridor was on its way to
revitalization. Over time, they have seen
a positive return on their investment.
“It has been an amazing opportunity,

customer’s hair
and I was very excited to
be a part of the downtown
revitalization that was actually
the catalyst that got me to
open my own business,” said
Patrick. “It has grown over the
course of the six years we have
been here. When we started,
it was just me, my assistant
and my clientele, but we have
grown quite nicely since then.

We’ve been very blessed.”
The salon now features a
full contingent of hair stylists,
barbers, skincare and nail
service providers. Living
his lifelong dream, Patrick
loves helping people in the
community feel beautiful
and confident.
“I feel like always, if you
feel good about the way you
look, you feel better yourself,

and I think that translates
into everything that you do,” he said. “I watch people come to life
and just that confidence that they feel makes everything better.”
