Mei Leigh has been cutting my hair regularly for a little less than a year, and I couldn’t be happier. She seems completely at ease with scissors in her hands, as her age defies her talent. Plus, she’s just a joy to be around. I feel fortunate to have found her. Elevate seems to be well run, and easy to work with. Scheduling is a breeze and the front desk staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommend

Maura did a fantastic job with my hair! I get so comfortable and it’s such a cozy environment! I would recommend this place to any and everybody

I had a great experience! My stylist was so meticulous with my curls and gave excellent advice to enhance mt curls!

Angie was amazing to talk with....about hair and life. I have the thick curly/wavy hair and she set me up with a great style to start with. We will be tweaking throughout but that is because of me needing to be educated by her. And I will continue to drive 1 1/2 hours for a great cut! Thank you Angie!!

I love this salon (great environment!), and Nicole is the best stylist I have ever worked with in my life. Perfect highlights. She’s wonderful. I’ve been going to her at Elevate since moving to C’ville in summer 2023. Shameless photo of my hair in the salon bathroom after she did a partial highlight back in September.

Rachel listened closely and her cut was perfect for me! She knew exactly how to style my ragged hair.

Thank you Rachel…I absolutely love my hair and enjoyed chatting today! Thank you so much!!

There for you when you need them. Good price, good service, good vibes.

Andrea is fabulous! As always, I love my haircut. My brows look great too!


Jan 06, 2025

Best hair salon in Charlottesville, I called today and had to reschedule but the woman who answered the phone was SO sweet. She’s exactly what embodies good customer service and an overall nice person. They’re very understanding and provide a GREAT service. Highly recommend.

Justin did his usual great job. Had fun getting a trim and slim. Check out was easy. Love these guys. Highly recommend.

Morgan is the best!!!

Rachel did an amazing job with my cut and color! She really listened to me and asked a ton of questions about what I wanted and even suggested I try curtain bangs to help with some of my ends that have been a bit damaged. I love the cut and my hair feels so healthy. Also love that she gave me a nice root shadow to make everything really blended through beautifully which I love for easy maintenance. Highly recommended Rachel for your cut/color!!

Andrea is fantastic with fine, short hair. Best color and cut I’ve had in years. Love going to her!


Dec 06, 2024

Demi is just the best. She really listens and works so hard to achieve what you envision. I am so in love with my hair now !


Dec 06, 2024

I am thrilled. Morgan was excellent. She is very skilled and knowledgeable. I absolutely love my color and can’t wait to go back for my extensions!


Dec 06, 2024

MeiLeigh is the best! I have been going to her for about a year now and she is consistently great. She listens to you and she also is great at providing feedback when needed. She’s my go to, wouldn’t go anywhere else for my hair needs!


Dec 06, 2024

My stylist was Angie. She is great she listened to me and heard me. I had a great experience as usual!


Dec 06, 2024

Natalie always does a wonderful job on my hair. I would highly recommend her and everyone is very friendly


Nov 06, 2024

As always, Angelia did a fantastic cut. We tried a different look today; she executed it to perfection.


Nov 06, 2024

Cannot recommend this salon enough. Me, my mom, and sister have been going to Jess for years. We all have different hair types and color treatments, and she styles all of us flawlessly. The salon itself is a lovely experience where you are pampered, even if you get a simple service. Will continue to recommend this salon to family and friends!


Nov 06, 2024

DEFINITELY go here! Mei Leigh was AMAZING, efficient, and really gave me the exact cut I wanted! So so good!


Nov 06, 2024

Elevate Salon is a welcoming, customer-driven business. I am new to the area and was so relieved to find a salon that really made the effort to find the right stylist for my hair type. The atmosphere is so comfortable nestled in the trees, they provide snacks and coffee drinks and make sure that you get excellent service.

Have had haircuts with Brett for almost a year now. My latest cut is the best. Brett is the best, listens carefully, creates a beautiful cut to compliment my features. She is my go to for styling. Her product recommendations are spot on.


Nov 06, 2024

Jess is an amazing stylist! She worked wonders when I walked in with a lowkey botched haircut from another place in town. Since then, she has not only continued to repair what was lost (haha), but also has added so much dimension, texture, and layers to my bulky mass of hair. She has such a warm personality and really listens to what I want, while also using her expertise to cut in a way that flatters/suits my face. Also, she takes her time, which I appreciate - she pays attention to the details! All the other stylists seem great, too, and I definitely appreciate the friendly front desk staff and the treats nearby.


Nov 06, 2024

Jessica is an excellent stylist !


Nov 06, 2024

Maizie does a great job with my fine curly hair. I’ve only seen her 3 times since I moved here and fully trust her judgement.


Nov 06, 2024

Nicole was such a gem to work with! She gave an honest and helpful consultation as my hair’s texture has changed after a surgery and gave me a great cut for my newly wavy/curly hair. She also gave my styling and product tips. Very professional! Definitely going back!
