I’ve been going to Elisa for a year now. I had never colored my hair before so having someone as knowledgeable, patient, and overall such a lovely person has been a blessing. She always explains the process and collaborates on what will look good. Her space is well kept and in a great location, I HIGHLY recommend booking here.

Super happy with how my hairstyle came out! Leah really outdid herself! I wanted long layers and I got that and much more. My hair now has texture and volume after 4 years from my last haircut. Definitely recommend booking her for hair services. I will be booking future haircuts for sure. Thanks Leah😁

Elisa is so great!! I had a bad experience at a previous salon with a toner, and she explained what went wrong and then fixed it so well! She is so great at communicating, amazing attention to detail, and I always find myself coming back. Such an amazing person to trust with your hair!!

I always have a great experience here at Ember + Stone. Leah is amazing with haircuts, always taking the time to understand my preferences and delivering just that. Furthermore, I have also booked blowouts with Elisa, which are long lasting despite my pin straight hair. Highly recommend booking with either one of them!

My first experience at Ember & Stone: As a mom of 3, having going through pretty rough postpartum hair loss, I thought it would be years before I would be happy with my hair. I went to Ember & Stone (Leah) in hopes that at the least I could get my hair looking healthy again. I did not know what to expect because…

I’ve been going to Leah for about 3 years now & she’s the only person I trust with my hair!!! I’m super cautious when it comes to letting anyone touch it (bc past trauma lol) but she always listens to what I want, pays attention to every detail & executes the vision perfectly. She’s especially amazing at layer cuts…
