On behalf of V-Light Hair Extensions and ELM Marketing Corp, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the entire David’s Salon family and loved ones of Mr. David Charlton. His passing leaves a profound void not only in the hearts of those who knew him personally but in the wider beauty industry, where he was an icon of passion, dedication, and pioneering vision. Rest in Peace, Mr. David Charlton; your legacy will live on.
For so many, Mr. Charlton was more than a business figure—he was a mentor, a visionary, and a guiding light. For 19 years, my own journey in the world of hairstyling has been shaped by David’s Salon. I began my career humbly at David’s Salon in Santana Grove, Parañaque, working as an apprentice, a salon sweeper, and later a junior assistant. Every role was a step forward, each day filled with learning from Mr. Charlton’s remarkable philosophy of service, skill, and unyielding commitment to quality.
Thank you, Mr. David, for helping me grow into the stylist and business owner I am today. Now, as a proud salon owner and a Red Seal Licensed Stylist, I look back with gratitude for the foundational lessons that David’s Salon imparted to me and so many others in our profession.
Mr. Charlton’s pioneering contributions to the beauty industry were unmatched. He saw the potential in every stylist, every assistant, every apprentice who stepped into David’s Salon. His belief in excellence and commitment to creating a nurturing environment for growth were hallmarks of his work and legacy. These principles, instilled in all who had the privilege of working with him, have inspired countless stylists, many of whom have gone on to open salons and share the values they learned at David’s.
