What's New At Elevate!
We’re now into the second week of June and I can’t believe how fast time flies. I feel like it’s already been so long since I’ve been back from Mexico, but something feels good about jumping back into work. Since I added Fridays and Saturdays to my work week, I’m really enjoying seeing the lovely faces I missed from when I used to work weekends. The salon is so full of life and busy, being able to work with the whole team at once brings a lot of joy to my soul. It gives me a moment to step back and look at what was created from a corner of a basement (I don’t have to remind you guys of how grateful I am).
There’s always something new coming to the salon because I always like to give back to all of you in any way I can. We have a new coffee station that we’ve created upstairs and I can’t wait for you all to see it, although it’s still under construction, you’ll be able to enjoy delicious beverages while getting beautified.
Speaking of new things, have you seen the latest line we’ve started carrying? Toronto-based hair stylist, Jason Lee’s hair care product line, Mela and Kara! After working with hair for so long and seeing how the integrity was so important during your lightning services, he decided to create his own line. Mela stands for melanin and Kara stands for keratin. There are two different clients the line caters to. The black bottles are just for your everyday hair care, which is called Touche Velour, the packaging will remind you of familiar brands like Dior and Chanel. Then there is a line dedicated to all you balayage beauties, ‘Bayalage Exceptionnel’ and I must say, it’s my absolute favourite because you know I’m a lover of all things blush. The main star ingredient in this lineup is the rose of Jericho. This ancient herb is known for its ability to bring things back to life. So, if you think about hair that has been lightened and stripped down to its core, then you’ll want to use this lineup to bring your ends back to life.
Outside of this product being amazing, I loved my time meeting with Jason. He’s a humble, down-to-earth kind of individual with extraordinary talent. Besides the product smelling incredible, you’ll be able to notice the difference in your hair after your first wash.
Be sure to ask your stylist at your next appointment about it or even have them try it on you in the washing bar as well as the styling station. In fact, we’re so confident you’ll love this product, that this month we’re offering 10% off all Mela and Kara products.
Also, starting the week of June 20th, we’ll be providing full waxing services with our girl Mubena to get you summer-ready. Stay tuned for more details!
Enjoy your weekend and see you soon!

Reminder! If you have an appointment this weekend, give yourself an extra 15-20 minutes to find parking because the Grilled Cheese Festival is happening on Lake Shore and roads will be closed. If you don’t have any plans, pop in to say hi and enjoy the local festivities.
