ASHLEE

Hi, I'm Ashlee! I'm a hairstylist at Elevate Organic Hair Salon + Spa in Prairie Village, Kansas, specializing in curly haircuts, low-maintenance blonding, and personalized hair color for guests throughout the Kansas City metro.
 

My journey into hairstyling began during the pandemic when I started combining my lifelong love of art with editorial hair and makeup. After collaborating with photographers and having my work published in international magazines, I realized I'd found the perfect blend of creativity and human connection. That passion led me to Paul Mitchell The School in Overland Park, and nearly five years later, I'm still doing what I love at Elevate! I was also honored to be nominated for Hair Colorist of the Year in 2025 by The Pitch KC.
 

I especially love working with busy women who want beautiful, manageable hair without adding more work to their already full lives. Whether you're embracing your natural curls, looking for dimensional blonde that grows out beautifully, or simply need a little time for yourself, my goal is to create hair that fits your lifestyle.
 

I believe the best results start with listening. Not sure what you want? That's okay! I love helping guests explore their options, understand their hair, and feel confident in their choices. I'm passionate about curly hair education and helping people of all textures learn to love and care for their natural hair.
 

My chair is a place where you can slow down, recharge, and be yourself. I'm equal parts laid-back, professional, and a little goofy. We can laugh our way through your appointment, dive into a meaningful conversation, or enjoy some comfortable silence. Whatever you need that day, I'm here for it.
 

Outside the salon, I'm a single working mom of two neurodivergent kids, so I understand how full and unpredictable life can be! I'm also a lifelong artist, a collector of vintage teaware, and someone who loves deep conversations and learning new things. My nightly cup of tea is one of my favorite ways to slow down after a busy day.
 

If you're looking for a Kansas City hairstylist who values creativity, honest communication, and making your hair routine a little easier, I'd love to welcome you into my chair. Let's create something beautiful that works for your real life!
