He immigrated to the United States in 2006, leaving his beloved family behind and found himself in Jersey City. At first, Jersey City brought Hector some odd jobs where he was able to save some money to put himself through Hudson County School of Technology’s vocational cosmetology program.

While studying at Tech, Hector also worked as an assistant at Icon Hair Studio in Downtown Jersey City where he developed his craft. In 2007, Hector obtained his license in Cosmetology and Hair Styling. He then grew his prominently Jersey City clientele which enabled him to take the biggest leap of his life—opening his own salon!

Posh Hair Studio opened in the Paulus Hook neighborhood in the winter of 2009, which has employed several stylists and contributed to the Jersey City economy. Hector did not stop there, however. Motivated by the revival and overall positive changes happening throughout Jersey City, Hector’s vision became set on opening a spa, and earlier this year, Jersey City’s newest spa came to fruition when Hector opened Spa Blue. Hector found inspiration in the color blue as it represents infinite sky and infinite possibilities lending Spa Blue its name.

Spa Blue endeavors to provide its clients an environment of relaxation and revitalization in a modern and minimalist ambiance. As Jersey City rejuvenates, so can you. Spa Blue is located at 280 Marin Boulevard, Jersey City, New Jersey within the Metropolis Towers, formerly Gregory Park, Jersey City’s oldest towers.
