Reviews of Elevate Salon (Hairdressing)

Kari Dowdy

Kelsey is one of the best, if not THE best in Lexington! I’ve lived here my whole life and have bounced around from hairdresser to hairdresser trying to find someone that I was happy with. I met Kelsey last year and will NEVER go to anyone else. She has exceeded all of my expectations - she is what hair dreams are made of! If you want exceptional, Pinterest worthy hair, don’t hesitate, make your appointment with Kelsey! She’s also like pretty cool and fun to talk to.

Kelsey is an incredibly talented hair stylist. Her skill has given me the best cut and color that I've ever had. Kelsey listens and suggests in a way that ensures you will love your hair style. Her new salon is 45 mins away from me but I wouldn't think of going somewhere else. Kelsey also has a soothing presence so she is a delight to be around as she applies her talents and skills. She is so professional and gifted. I absolutely could not be more thrilled with how great my hair looks and that is completely due to her talent and dedication!

Kelsey is a rare gem! Not only does she know what she’s doing, she’s not one who won’t listen to what you’ve done in the past and try it to see how it works. Plus, she’s so great if you need a last minute style or flat iron to squeeze you in! I’m so glad I found her and I won’t go to anyone else!

One of the most frustrating part of being a military family, for me, is finding a new hair stylist (that will listen and care about what you are wanting) at a new duty station. I highly recommend Kelsey! She listens, gives fabulous advice, and even teaches you how to better care for your hair in the process. She is living her passion and it shows in her work!

I have long hair, and those of us with long hair know how scary it is to go in and get a trim. Kelsey did an AMAZING job. She added layers in just the right way. I don't spoil myself often but she is worth it and totally affordable. If you have long thick hair this is the place to go.

Kelsey was highly recommended in a local mom’s group, so I had to make an appointment! She really listens to what you want, gives her input, and takes her time. The end result is just amazing! Her salon is super cute too, you’ll love it!

Megan Okey

I've been lucky enough to have Kelsey as my stylist for over a decade. If you're looking for an enjoyable salon experience and a stylist that's full of inspiration, Kelsey is the ONE! She's such a lovely, attentive and fun person to be around. She's transformed me from a dark brunette to a bright blonde and I couldn't recommend her enough!

Kelsey is amazing with hair, especially color! She has been doing my hair for 2 years now and did a great job every single time. We have done highlights, bright purple vivid color, she took my hair from brown to blond without damaging it. Every time I have been beyond happy with how it turned out. And she’s super sweet , friendly and easy to talk to.

Bianca Cammarata

Kelsey is the balayage Queen! She always listens to exactly what I want and does it perfectly. I have super dark hair naturally and she was able to give me the perfect blonde balayage. I only trust my mane with her!

Amanda Janson

This review goes beyond bragging about the amazing talent for hair Kelsey has, which is obvious just by scrolling through her salons Facebook page. What keeps me coming back, besides her always saving my hair, is how you’re not just another client or a dollar sign to her. When you sit in Kelsey’s chair, she keeps you comfortable, chatting, and caffeinated ;) It’s truly like spending time with a friend. You’d be making a wise choice booking with Kelsey

Kathleen Edmisten

The greatest at color! Especially techniques like balayage!

Jessica Buzhardt

Kelsey has cut and done balayage on my hair and I’m always happy with it. She is not rushed; she takes her time and listens to exactly what you want. Her Salon is cute and very relaxing! Perfect place to treat yourself!!

Kelsey is amazing at what she does. she is a true perfectionist who takes pride in what she does and strives to please her clients. It shows in her salon and in the cuts and colors she does. Love love love her!

I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey! She is kind, professional, knowledgeable and AMAZING with hair! I appreciate her honesty the most- she doesn’t try to upsell and really pays attention to what your hair needs. My hair has never looked and felt better. Do yourself and your hair a favor and go see Kelsey!

Jami Morris

Kelsey is super talented! I've had my hair cut and balayaged by her and it turned out beautiful. Her salon is super cute and clean too.

natalie smith

Kelsey is amazing! The salon is cute and inviting and clean. When it comes to hair, Kelsey is the best! She cuts, colors, and styles. She works with your hair type to help you achieve the look you're going for. So happy to have found her!

I got a long overdue facial last week and it was wonderful. Caley made sure I was comfortable and took the time to find out what I was looking for in a skin care routine. After asking questions she introduced me to the best line of skin care products that I have ever used. She is very knowledgeable and was able to construct a treatment plan to follow up with including Chemical peels and Microdermabrasion. I really can’t wait to see the results! Kelsey has been cutting and coloring my hair for years. I made the mistake of trying someone closer to my house and regretted it immediately! She always listens and I ALWAYS achieve the results I want when I go to her. I would recommend Elevate Salon to anyone.

Michelle Curran

Kelsey is amazing. Her cut & colors are on trend, and she is super sweet & friendly. Highly recommend!

Brienna Johnson

I went to Kelsey to have vivids done. I'd never had my hair colored and was super nervous. Kelsey not only did an amazing job but also helped ease my nerves throughout the process. I would recommend her to anyone!

I’ve been going to a Kelsey for years over in Northeast Columbia! I made the drive from Lexington every time because she is simply the best! Now that she opened her own salon in Lexington I am even more impressed! Seriously, the most adorable space and I swear her work is hands down the best and I can’t recommed her enough!! I just went to her yesterday and love my hair so much thanks to her! Go visit this precious salon, and see have the best do your hair! You won’t regret it!

Katherine Dew

Kelsey did such a great job and I am in love with my new hair cut!!

Joanne Reilly

Love Marina, very attentive to what I ask for

Lauren Small

Kelsey is fantastic! I'm super picky about my hair. I hadn't had it cut or colored in a long time and decided I wanted balayage and a fresh new cut. Kelsey listened to what all I wanted and did not disappoint! She was able to put several pictures and all my ideas together and give me exactly what I was looking for. I decided to also take my 2 year son to her for his first real haircut. I had already accidentally cut off all his beautiful curls and wanted to ensure he got a really good haircut. He wiggled a lot but she was so patient with him and he got a great cut! I also have to mention, I love that she uses non toxic color and products, that was a big draw for me in addition to how talented she is.

Ainhoa Copeland

Kelsey is amazing! She is easy to connect with, has a beautiful space and is great with color techniques/haircuts. She also uses safe products that are gluten free, paraban free and dye free which is refreshing since most places don’t do that. I would recommend her!

Vicky Mason

I moved from the UK to South Carolina nearly two years ago. When I first arrived in the US I struggled to find a hairdresser who understood my needs, wasn’t going to cost a fortune, but was also easy-going and extremely friendly. I found Kelsey and her amazing examples of work on the internet and was absolutely thrilled with my first experience. I’ve never looked back and absolutely look forward to each and every appointment. Thank you Kelsey for being the best hairdresser ever!!

Adrienne Simmonds

I'm so thrilled that I found Marina! I have curly hair and have had the HARDEST time finding someone who knows how to cut it. Cute location as well!

Kate Richardson

Kelsey is a great hair stylist. After moving to Columbia from D.C. I had a hard time finding a stylist who really understood how my hair worked and what I wanted. Kelsey listens and offers suggestions too. I've only had my hair cut and styled (I have short hair) but if I ever wanted color or highlights I would definitely trust Kelsey, she is very talented. Her space is nice and clean and she uses nice products too. Plus she's just a very friendly and down to earth person to talk to!

Ashley

Kelsey is hands down the BEST in the biz! She exceeded all of my expectations and is such a go getter with confidence backing her work! I am so on love with my hair as she nailed exactly what I wanted and my hair feels and looks amazing!! She made me super comfortable as she is personable and professional!! Thank you for a wonderful first but definitely not my last hair appointment!!

Jessi Sox

Got my hair done by Kelsey today. She trimmed and colored my hair exactly how I wanted it. Love it.

Kelly Temple

Kelsey is the bomb at hair. I miss her so much now I’m in Savannah. Caley gives the best most relaxing facial. I can’t wait to be back in Columbia to go see this dream team!

Adlissa Moss
