Madison has done a great job with my hair for 4 months now (I’m new to town). Beautiful highlights, and cut exactly as I described. Also a very fair pricier!
Hannah did an excellent job with my cut and partial highlights. She’s great with color and super thoughtful!
Angie is the best! She was so kind, professional and extremely talented. I have already booked my next two appointments. Everyone was very nice.
I’ve been avoiding getting my hair cut or colored for almost two years because of negative past experiences at multiple salons in town. Mei Leigh flawlessly transformed my hair with highlights and a new cut which left me feeling happy with a hair appointment for the first time in many years.
After I said what I would like, I was given suggestions, explanations, and shown a few pictures to help me understand about the highlights. I am very satisfied with the result! I asked about products also and the stylist was very helpful.
Morgan is fantastic! Highly recommend
Love love love Elevate and Natalie! Reasonable prices and amazing talent!
I had such a great time with my stylist, Madison, and loved the cut and color she did. Definitely my new favorite salon, will be coming back!
Love visiting Elevate and love the care Demie takes of me!
Demie is an absolute delight and incredible at her craft. It’s such a relaxing and FUN atmosphere. All the stylists chat together and I always look forward to coming in. Demie is great but I can tell that all the stylists and clients are just happy to be there whenever I’m there for my color
Very thorough, does a great job, and makes ya laugh
I’ve received cut, color, and waxing services, plus purchased top quality haircare products, from this kind and talented staff for 9 years! I highly recommend Elevate to all. I always leave the salon looking (and feeling!) way better than when I came in.
Raven did such a great job adding dimension to my hair with highlights and layers!
Natalie is the best hair stylist in Charlottesville. I have been getting my hair cut and colored by her for several years now, and I highly recommend her services. 10/10
Hannah is so so kind and welcoming. She was incredibly sweet and cut and colored my hair beautifully ❤️
10/10. Great experience. Morgan is a magician.
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!
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…
I had an amazing service with Nicole. I have never dyed my hair before so I was a bit nervous but Nicole asked a bunch of questions before to make sure we were on the same page. I was able to get a bunch of work done during my appt so I appreciated how professional and friendly she was making sure that I was taken…
I had such a great experience here! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and super inviting. The staff made me feel comfortable right away, and everyone was so friendly and professional. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a relaxing, positive experience with amazing results. I’ll definitely be coming back!
