NEW HAVEN — When no one would hire hairstylist Kathy Moura fresh out of technical high school, salon owner Pio Imperati took the chance and gave her a chair at his iconic Pio of Italy Hair Studio.
Fifteen years later, Imperati has given Moura another big break: he sold his legendary Westville business to her for only $1, and now, at age 79, he’s working for her.
