My mom, sister, and I love coming here for pedicures. It’s so relaxing and private and such a spa experience. I also love the massages and it’s the only place my mom and sister trust for hair coloring. Definitely worth a trip

I have been an Elevate client for years. My Stylist and Color Specialist Amber is awesome and I would not trade her for anyone. I have also treated my granddaughters to their services for Proms and my Mom who had Alzheimers for manicures. I cant not say enough about the care and service they provided for her. They were one of the few times she was able to relax and appeared to really enjoy herself. I love their pedicures, massages and facials to relax and relieve stress. They have an excellent selection of products. Everyone is both locations are always professional and friendly.

I absolutely love Destiny. Ive been to this salon twice - the first time I saw another stylist. I showed her a few pictures, and she was very kind but told me that sort of coloring wouldnt be possible with my hair, and we came up with a compromise. I was happy with the cut and color when I left and planned to continue seeing her.When I called back to schedule my next appointment, my original stylist was unavailable, so they offered to put me with Destiny. I dont think Ill go to anyone else ever again as long as she continues to work as a stylist lol. As I was showing her NEW pictures Id come with (since I was told the original wasnt physically possible), we came across the original photo and I told her what the other girl had said. She kind of looked confused, and said no I can do that... and she DID. I dont think it would be possible to get closer to the picture than she did. Could not be happier 👍🏻On another note, this place is handling the pandemic so well. I have heard of some places like fix who havent been wearing masks / making customers wear masks. Elevate has you wait in your car until their front desk area is appropriately empty, has hand sanitizer and masks before you even walk into their main building, and they take your temperature before checking you in. I had worn my cloth mask, and Destiny pointed out that the dye could get on it and got me a disposable one instead. None of their chairs are filled that arent at least 6 feet apart. In their back area with the sinks they have sheets of clear plastic between each seat, and little laminated cards that indicate whether or not each chair and sink has been properly sanitized and are ready for use. A+++

I can’t say if they are good or bad. Left voicemail and email and texts. They never communicated in any way.

Ive been coming here for over 20 yrs, and have NEVER been disappointed. My stylist, Jill S., is absolutely Top Notch! Shes not only extremely talented, but also fun, personable, and very modest. I am always greeted with smiles (front desk), and made to feel at home. Theyve always kept the salon very clean, but their compliance with the Covid sanitizing & distancing requirements impressed me, and further confirmed that this is the BEST salon in the CR/Corridor area. I love this place!!

It was amazing.. For all the first timers, go there without any 2nd thought.. It was my 1st time and I was kinda sceptical as I believe less on reviews and more on my own experience.. I got my hair styling done by “Jess”... I got the needed recommendations from her and she took care of the thoughts I had about my hair to look a certain way... Just loved my hair after that.. 😊Thanks again Jess.. 😊

Went for a massage and pedicure. I didnt get the pedicurist name but she was wonderful. My massage therapist was Gracen Stratton and she did a wonderful job I highly recommend her. Will definitely be going back. Everything is very clean and well maintained and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Its been almost 3 weeks and my toes still look great and dont have a single chip!

Had a great experience with Sarha, and the deep conditioning treatment was fantastic for my poor hair after so many months without a cut. Very kind staff, and very pandemic-safety conscious.

It just wasnt that comfortable. I was sweltering hot through my whole massage and eventhough I asked a couple times for help with my head rest on the massage table, I still felt like I was falling off the whole time, not relaxing at all.

Erica is wonderful. I called to see if I could get fit in for an eyebrow wax and was seen in a matter of minutes. The whole staff was so kind to me and my five-month-old little boy. I was in and out within 10 to 15 minutes. I’ll definitely be back.

This is an amazing spot. I originally tried Elevate on a whim while testing new salons for my girlfriend, and I was hooked. Awesome service full of super nice people. They are flexible and willing to work with your schedule, though booking early is best. They are definitely on the expensive side, but if you like the salon feel, this is an awesome place!

I had a pedicure this morning with Kelsey. She was incredibly sweet and made my feet feel like a million bucks! I was in a time crunch to get to my friends for wedding prep, and Kelsey was very considerate of my time, but she was still very thorough with my pampering. Would definitely recommend her services to others.

We were in town for a camp at one of the local colleges and my son needed a haircut. The salon was recommended to us by a friend and since he had a similar haircut, I thought it would be a great place to go. I was extremely wrong. My son wears his hair high and tight, I asked the stylist if she knew how to do that, she said yes but he came out of the back with a buzz cut, which I was charged $39 dollars for. Seriously! Way over priced. Plus the damage was done and now he has to walk around with a basically bald head. When I had asked our friend he said he usually paid around $25. My other son was supposed to have an appointment a few days later, but we cancelled it and actually went to Super Cuts. Way better price and my son came out with the correct haircut.

Beautiful space with free beverages (alcoholic and non) provided. My stylist was friendly but not overly chatty and Im very happy with the haircut itself. A little pricey, but worth it.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went in on 1/7/2020 to get a perm. My hairstylist (if you can even call her that), Erica did my perm for me. It took 3 hours and $230 (not including the tip). It wasnt to my liking but I figured at least it was wavy. WRONG. Within two hours my waves straightened out. I wanted CURLS to begin with! I went back in and told her what happened and Erica LIED TO MY FACE and gave me mixed excuses as to why my perm looked the way it did. Now all I want is my money back but no one seems willing to admit their mistake and refund me!!! Honestly Im to the point where I’m about to sue.

Ive gotten three hydro facials with Ashley and I absolutely love it. The facials leave my skin hydrated and glowing! My blemishes have cleared up, and my fine lines are noticeably reduced. Love this service!

I visit Elevate for full body massages. The atmosphere is relaxing, the staff is very friendly, and the massages are amazing. They work on spots that are especially bothering you and use pressure to your comfort. Love my time there and now ask for the same massage therapist every time.

Review №31

I had been going to Elevate for many years for my nails and Kelsey L does an amazing job. I always walked away with a color that I liked and fantastic manicure. Even after having moved away, whenever I am in town I come back and have an mani with Kelsey. The front desk staff has always been helpful in finding an appointment for me and making sure I know if there are any promotions upcoming also.

Perhaps a bit biased but I feel amazing after a trip to elevate. Bracken Mitchell has done my hair for almost 15 years or so, and she *never* disappoints! She always makes time for you if she has it and will do everything to make sure you love your look before you leave. The salon itself is spot on as well! The smell of the spa and Aveda stay with you the rest of the day. Ever the professionals with fantastic masseuses’ you cannot go wrong with any service. Oh, last but def not least the super friendly front desk staff make this salon worth every penny.

Review №33

Kelsey was amazing. I went in with horrible bleach damage. I hadnt been able to even brush my hair without losing a ton. Now it is sleek and smooth and wonderful. A tad on the expensive side but well worth it. A regular haircut includes shampoo, blow dry, and style so if you really compare it to a place like Cost Cutters where you are charged for each thing, its really not so bad. Could not recommend any higher!!!

It is a great place to go, everyone is very friendly. They do great work, however it is very pricey, especially color and highlighting, compared to what some of my friends pay elsewhere. However maybe you get what you pay for. I do always feel great when I leave, very enjoyable place to go.

I will try to make this short . I came here right before having a baby thinking hey, may as well do something for myself and feel good before life changes and I regret coming here. I dropped almost 200 dollars. I wanted an ombre highlight. My stylist said it wouldnt look good because I have wavy/curly hair. Instead she painted on all over highlights WHICH SHE NEVER TONED. I am pale and now stuck with brassy orange highlights . A coworker adked if I went to Capri. On top of that she had no idea how to cut curly hair so now I have the dreaded triangle hair. She didnt listen to me when I said I wanted long bangs. Said she would do it at the end and never did.

I have to start this review by telling you that I have Cervical Dystonia (a form of parkinson) which causes my head to tremor, and even the medicine I am taking will cause it to tremor more under anxiety I had been using the same person for hair cuts for years. She knew my condition and after a few hair cuts I was comfortable with her cutting my hair. She closed he salon due to health problems. I had to find someone to cut my hair. I must tell you I have serious thinning hair as well. A friend of mine referred Elevate Salon to me. I was really afraid to go to someone who I had to explain my problem to her not knowing how hard it would be if my head started to tremor. She was wonderful. She would stop cutting and kept asking me if I was okay. She took special concerns relaxing me. I know there are other stylist there, but since she cared about my condition I dont want to explain it over and over to someone new. Everyone there are really wonderful and very caring with there customers. My hair has a new friend. This Salon is a much place to go if you need a spa place to pamper yourself. A must try and you will never regret going.

Review №55

Unbelievable. Haircut was good but then I got to the counter and they charged me twice as much as usual because I was with a senior stylist. I had never asked to be with one so I dont know why it would be assumed that I wanted the most expensive haircut possible. When I said this to the lady at the front desk she said sorry and she could make a note in my file for the future. I dont know why it would be assumed I wanted to spend TWICE as much as usual. Will not be going back.

10/10 recommend! I got my haircut with Becca and she did an AMAZING job! She was so nice and helpful and gave me advice about how to style my hair (it’s normally pretty flat and lifeless). If you can get her as your stylist, you have it made 😊 I’ll be returning to Becca for hair, makeup, and nail services!
