What a wonderful and professional team! You all are so kind and honest. My curls look so hydrated and happy! Molly & Anna are 10/10 fabulous
I have never left a salon happy with my haircut. I’ve never left a salon happy. I’ve been judged for person things. I cut my own hair and dyed it for over 7 years because of an incident. I’ve been full of anxiety to go somewhere else and have the same thing happen. After getting my hair dyed and cut today… I…
Had an amazing experience here!!! Hannah was so nice and taught me so much about how to care for my curly hair type and how to style it. She did a wonderful job with my hair cut!
Madison did a fantastic job
Finding this salon and especially Angie has been amazing. Lovely environment, easy parking, great location and Angie’s talent? My hair hasn’t looked this good in a while
Demie is great!
I had a great experience at elevate salon and spa. I loved my new haircut/style for the summer months. I am new to the area and looking for a new salon/spa and I found it with elevate. The salon environment was welcoming, nice and relaxing. I really appreciated the time and recommendations that my hair stylist,…
Amazing experience with Angie! Made me feel so comfortable and listened. Loved the results.
Mei is a fantastic stylist, she listens to concerns and works to get you the style you want. Even if you don’t know how to describe it all that well.
Hannah is so so kind and welcoming. She was incredibly sweet and cut and colored my hair beautifully ❤️
This place is a gem. The staff are expert, welcoming and fun! They carefully listen and work to provide exactly what you ask for and more. I also enjoy the assortment of snacks and delicious coffee! Rachel
Their curly cut hairstylists are amazing! Finally found somewhere that actually knows how to cut curly hair. They have great manners, and snacks/drinks. Would recommend!
Mei has been coloring my hair for the past 3 years and I couldn’t be happier. She nails it every time and I always leave very happy with my experience and the end result!
Morgan did an amazing job handling my thick curly hair! I would recommend her to anybody with curls!
Morgan did an excellent curly/wavy cut today, highly recommend!
I have been seeing Anna for all of my hair care needs for 13 years. Following her from ‘Cutting Edge’ to Elevate! Every stylist at Elevate is fantastic and every stylist has their specialty. I am happily impressed by all! Angie is my stylist now, as Anna is no longer behind the chair but busy teaching and perfecting…
Hannah always does a great job with my curly hair. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean and relaxing!
My hair stylist Hannah was amazing, and my hair looks great. I wasn't really sure exactly what I wanted, and I feel like Hannah walked me through every step and kept checking in to make sure I was happy with the result. The whole salon has a very nice setup. The chairs for washing hair are very comfortable.
Angelia always does a fantastic job cutting my hair. It feels light, and fluffy curly. I love my cut.
Hannah transformed my long, thick curly hair into a mid length bob and brought life and shape back into my curls. She is super attentive and an all around wonderful stylist!
Absolutely love this place! Everyone is very nice and welcoming. I have been here a few times to do keratin treatments on my hair with Demie and she is just fantastic. She always does an amazing job and my hair comes out SO much smoother and is way more manageable afterwards. I have very curly hair and getting these…
Absolutely amazing! I have had some really bad experiences in Charlottesville and this place was amazing!! I was made an amazing mocha latte And my stylist actually listened to me!! She even took time to answer all my questions And did exactly what was asked for.
Thank you Rachel for the haircut and color. I love it!
Five stars because I love how the stylist gave me volume and depth. I loved the tools she used. I would give her a million stars if I could!
Raven was absolutely fantastic, and I felt so spoiled today in the best way! I am feeling like an entirely new woman with the head-spa, mini facial and haircut! If I could give ten stars, I would in a heartbeat :)
I’ve been coming here for years and I think this latest appointment has been the best one yet. I really appreciate Jessica for helping me and giving me suggestions for my hair cuts. Curly hair isn’t the easiest to deal with.
Elevate is the best. I’ve been coming to them for years. Angie has always colored my hair and done a fantastic job. Do yourself a favor and go.
Such a wonderful experience, very relaxing.
I had a negative experience with my stylist here. The stylist was rude and condescending towards me. I tried to make small talk and she ignored me. I didn’t feel like I was treated with respect or kindness in any way. On top of that, she didn’t finish blow drying my hair and sent me out with wet hair even though I…
I have really enjoyed my visits to Elevate! Angelia always knocks it out of the park with my curly hair.
Morgan did an amazing job with my coarse, thick, curly hair. She listened to my needs, looked at my inspo pics, talked me through options, and then gave me THE most amazing haircut! I am SO happy with my results that I booked for my next appointment already!
Enjoyed my stylist. Was thrilled she took the time to explain the products used and their applications.
I came for help with a haircut that would fit my life and me. I am ecstatic over the cut and how easy it is to take care of. Angela listened to what I was looking for and gave me an I credible cut. Thank you so much!
Elegant, welcoming, cozy place. Pricey, but to be expected because you know, it's a salon. Worth the visit, nonetheless. The stylists are all very friendly and welcoming. Nicole was my stylist, when I first visited, recently. I was nervous, as I always am in a hair salon, especially because in the past I've had a…
I had a haircut appt on 02/14/25 with Mei Leigh.The plan was to cut my hair and blowdry and she exactly that. It came out beautiful
I've been going here to see Jessica for many years for cuts and Balayage. She does a fantastic job! It's a great salon!
I had a great experience! My stylist was so meticulous with my curls and gave excellent advice to enhance mt curls!
Jessica was awesome. She listened to what I wanted and it turned out awesome. I will definitely be going back. I’m going to refer my daughter also ❤️
Maizey did an amazing job with my fine curly hair! She listened to everything that I wanted and made it happen. She was extremely attentive, and I felt pampered the whole time. Love my cut and color, and got so many compliments after. 🥰
I had an awesome experience at Elevate Salon. Rachel was my stylist. She is very experienced and detail oriented. I was looking for a stylist with experience cutting thick and curly hair. Rachel was able to meet all of my needs. She listened to my concerns and made recommendations to accomplish the result I was…
Mei-Leigh gave me the best curly haircut I’ve ever had! She knew exactly what to do to make my curls look their best. I highly recommend Mei-Leigh and Elevate Salon + Spa for curly hair.
Anna and her staff are amazing! I have been a customer of Anna’s for several years now and have had the pleasure of having her and her staff color and cut my hair as well as dye my eye brows on a regular basis. I always leave there feeling and looking great!
This place is simply amazing. The stylists and environment are so inviting. I had been going to Moxie for years and after a couple of bad experiences I tried Elevate and I will never go back. Mei-Leigh does the best color and haircuts. She listens to what I want and if I am not sure, will make suggestions and my hair has always turned out beautifully.
From the minute I walked in, to the wave I got driving away I felt taken care of and so welcome! I absolutely LOVE my haircut. Definitely recommend to everyone!
Jessica always gives me a great curly cut!
I have been seeing the stylists at Elevate since we moved to Charlottesville in 2019! I have seen so many of their stylists and everyone is INCREDIBLE. The entire team is well trained, friendly, patient, and always works hard to make sure you are comfortable and getting the cut/style you dream of. I simply cannot…
