Leah is the best! I’ve finally found a hairdresser who makes me feel comfortable and does a fantastic job. My haircut and coloring is beautiful. I’m extremely happy with my services. Both ladies at Ember and Stone are so kind and attentive. I’m so grateful.

I have been going to Elisa now for over a year and I will follow her anywhere! The appointments can be booked online and a deposit is required which I personally don’t mind at all. As a small business owner and professional this speaks volumes on how much time and effort goes into each and every one of her…

I absolutely adore Elisa and Leah. I’ve been seeing Elisa since her apprenticeship days and she’s never given me a bad cut or color. When I first started seeing Elisa, I had long hair purple hair and wanted to go blonde. She delivered, using extensions to give me vivid blonde highlights without further hair damage.…
