Happy New Year!
We made it another year stronger with our doors still open!
If 2020 didn't take us, we are only going up from here!
Do you make any New Year's Resolutions? Every year, I seem to have the same goals...
Get more organized
More time spent with my mama
More self-care
Care less about things that don't really matter
Don’t touch my phone when driving...(yeah I said it, don’t judge me because you do it too!)
Funny enough, there is something about 2023 that makes me feel like I’m ready to conquer this list. The last couple years for me have been BEYOND F$&ED UP!! (Seriously)! But, as tough as they were, I wouldn’t change much. Here’s the thing, if you change a lot of the past, your present moment wouldn't be the same. I know some of you might be saying, well if you knew my present you would want it to change, but seriously really think of every detail of your life, I’m sure there are some amazing parts so would you trade them to fix the few that may "seem" to suck?
I think 2023 should be about PRESENCE! We are all consumed with the opinions of others, being offended, and just the whole cancel culture that’s taken the world by storm. We are constantly judging ourselves by what we see on screen. I say it all the time, what we see are the highlights, no one is showcasing their “behind the scenes” moments, and probably because they ain't as shiny!
It's time for us to be fully present in where we are and what we do. Love where you are, love those who are there with you, don't worry about those who don't approve of you, and stop to smell the roses. Life is short, this year I’ll be 40! I have lived almost half of my life. This is why this year feels different. I’m entering into a new decade, a new chapter and I plan to live it with my eyes wide open and with those who I love and who love me for ME!
I’m so grateful for every single one of you reading this and who have been in my corner as cheerleaders through all the years & through all the mess with love and a latte!
Thank you and I love you!
HUGE ELEVATE UPDATES
What’s new at Elevate so far? A lot! We have two new stylists joining the Family FULL TIME! I’m so excited to introduce you all to Angie & Daniela!
Angie is a stylist from Windsor, ON. She’s taking a huge leap and moving to the big city. She LOVES all the things hair, going to the gym, and hanging on the couch with her dog... and maybe a glass of wine.
She does it all, from balayage to hair extensions, and specializes in blonde work.
Daniela is a well-seasoned stylist, and we go way back. I always love to tell this story. When I started my hair apprenticeship program, I took over for Daniela’s maternity leave. Long story short, things have come back full circle and here we are working together. She loves hair and people. She does an amazing job on blow outs and men’s cuts.
We are officially a full house, and with the addition of new team members, we will also be extending our hours for some stylists. We’ll be open later on Tuesdays (until 7:30 pm) and Thursdays (until 7 pm).
New products! We’ve recently expanded our catalog with the L'Oéal family and brought on some more of their stylers and shampoos for you all to try out! Talk to your stylist at your next appointment to see what products are suitable for your hair.
Nails + Waxing
Looking for the latest in nail art? Mubena is killing it with nail art at the salon. Don't forget to book a manicure or get those eyebrows in check when you're in next... Book online or call us!

Cheers to an amazing new week in the new year!
Can't wait to see you all soon.
