My dad, John “Mark” Reppucci, was a precision stylist with an extraordinary gift. He owned and operated Fashion on the Ocean, The Gatsby, and most recently The Hair Cutting Company on Boston’s North Shore. Clients traveled for his work, and I grew up understanding how much confidence a great haircut could give someone.
He also struggled with addiction. As a family, we experienced the distance between the talented professional people saw and the challenges we lived with at home.
Tropical Addiction carries both parts of that story: respect for his craft and a commitment to helping others find a different path. Tropical is the experience. Recovery is the reason behind our purpose.
We’re building salon-inspired head care with a mission to support addiction recovery. Because the people behind great hair deserve care, too.
