Dare We Say Spring Has Sprung??

Friday May 26 2023

It’s finally been warm enough to leave the house without a jacket for several days in a row…could the sun actually be here to stay? Let’s cross our fingers

There’s nothing like, sitting on a patio with your girlfriends giggling the night away, going for (dairy-free) ice cream with your kids, or basking in the captivating energy of live music once the weather finally warms up.

Speaking of live music, we need to let you in on an exciting live show happening next week!

Client Spotlight

If you’ve ever had an appointment at Elevate on Wednesday afternoons, then you have certainly seen our regular (and dare I say one of the best-looking) client Yosvanii getting his thick lustrous Afro-Cuban curls washed. There's always a buzz in the salon when he leaves as so many staff and clients secretly crush on him. Yosvanii is also an ultra-talented Violinist and next Thursday June 1st, Yosvanii will be performing with his band at Revival on College St downtown. The event is called Playliist, and will feature all of your favourite RnB jams! If you're a fan of him in the salon, get ready to fall in love as he graces the stage!

Come enjoy his show with Elevate that night! Grab a ticket here, bring your friends, & we can't wait to see you there!

In Salon News…

After being closed on Mondays for the past year or so, Modest Mondays have officially rolled out - a bi-weekly day for women only, organized with our Muslim sisters in mind so that they can take their hijab off with the blinds down in peace and get pampered without the anxiety of a man walking into the salon! Open to all women, and this day may become a weekly occurrence over time.

We have 2 new Apprentices joining our team - Kat & Amanda! Kat is the daughter of a hairstylist so she was born with a passion for hair in her blood! She recently graduated as a stellar student from Marca college, and cannot wait to meet all of you. Some of you may already be familiar with Amanda – she did her co-op placement here in April. She is a triplet (!) who is a wizard at braiding, amongst many other growing talents!

Product Updates

We currently have a promotion going on - 30% off all L’Oreal Professional Shampoos & Conditioners. Whether you are finding your hair to be dry as we come out of Winter, or too limp to have any volume, your Elevate team can help you figure out which line is best for you! Feel free to shoot us a text or stop by if you want some direction.

Have you snagged your Olaplex Lash Serum yet? You trust Olaplex to repair the bonds in your hair, now you can trust it to support the natural growth cycle of your lashes and help with lash retention! Experience results in as little as 2 weeks.

Life Lately…

It’s been busy around here! As we congratulate Tonia on leaving the salon to pursue her design career dreams, I’ve continued to be more hands-on. You may not see me as much working behind the chair, but I am very busy behind the scenes. My kids are wrapping up the school year, I am working closely with L’Oreal and Pureology, and I am running the show behind the desk when our lovely Denise isn’t. I took a break this week though to go and see Janet Jackson live at Budweiser Stage which was incredible! Were any of you there in the crowd too?
