During the mid-century, the Stella sisters worked alongside each other behind the chair at La Petite Beauty Salon. The owner and popular stylist, Angelina Stella (Rizzo), ran her shop with tenacity and grace, transforming La Petite into a beloved local gem known for being ahead of its time.
Located right on Whittaker Street in the heart of downtown New Buffalo, La Petite became a beloved gathering place for the community—a place where everyone was treated like family, and the latest styles were always at the forefront.
For three decades, La Petite served as a hub for creativity and connection, offering the latest beauty trends long before they became mainstream. From timeless cuts and colors to the most innovative styles of the era, the Stella sisters were part of a talented team that helped shape the beauty culture of Southwest Michigan. To Ange, a true visionary in the beauty industry, it was more than just a salon—it was a part of who she was. Stella Beauty was born from the memories of the sisters' legacy. Stella’s unique, forward-thinking style and culture embraces the beauty found in our “blemishes.” Let’s celebrate our differences and imperfections together.
Now, as we carry forward the family legacy, we’re proud to uphold the same commitment to excellence, personal service, and innovation that made La Petite shine in New Buffalo for so many years. Our history is woven into the fabric of this town, and we’re honored to continue serving this vibrant community with the same dedication to quality and care that our late beauty queens instilled in us. At Stella, we’re not just about beauty—we’re about building connections, honoring our roots, and ensuring that every client leaves feeling empowered, appreciated, and truly heard. Stella Beauty combines family history, tradition, and a passion for the salon industry, all within the charming lakeside town of New Buffalo, Michigan.
See you at Stella.
