Absolutely Love this Salon! I’ve been a client for many years. Demi is an awesome stylist, she listens to her clients and is very precise in her work. The shop has an easy relaxed & welcoming vibe, and offers drinks & snacks, as well as their own brand of excellent hair products.

I had Maura as my hair stylist and she did such an amazing job! It was my first time at the salon and she helped make me feel comfortable and helped me decide what I wanted with my hair cut. Will definitely be back to see Maura!

I am happy with the haircuts I get from my stylist, but concerned that the price increases often. $88 for a wash, cut, and dry seems extravagant.

I’ve been seeing Brett for a couple of years now and she is wonderful! I appreciate that she is always patient with all of my questions and concerns. I also like that she will give me samples of stuff to try first before buying the larger product. I have loved all of my color appointments and haircuts that I’ve gotten. I highly recommend Brett!

Elevate Salon immediately made me feel at ease because everyone is so friendly and down-to-earth. Only the most talented stylists and hairdressers work there. The salon’s only flaw — it’s a wee bit pricey. But my life coach says I’m worth it! Regarding my stylist, Natalie is so gifted with color, specifically with…

Rachel is a fabulous colorist and stylist! She always does an amazing job on my hair. I found her through word of mouth and I’m so glad that I did. The salon is also beautiful and very much about experience, which is so appreciated. As a busy mom who works part-time, coming to the salon is a treat and Elevate never disappoints. Thank you!

I recently got a long layered haircut from Mei Leigh, and I feel so lucky that I found Elevate and was able to book an appointment with her. Mei Leigh is truly an artist.

I got a great layered cut by Mei Leigh! She did an amazing job from start to finish and unlike many other salons gave me exactly the cut I asked for. I have long and thick hair, but she was patient with it. I’m absolutely obsessed and will be going back here for sure!
