Jenn Doppelt She/Her
Wednesdays 12-8
Hi! I'm Jenn, Owner and Hair Stylist at Elevate! I became passionate about low toxic hair color quite a few years ago. So much so, that I really felt the call to completely makeover my business and what I offer my guests. I felt it important to bring safer options to those that were wanting to color their hair without sacrificing health and safety. I have three children - a daughter in college, a daughter in high school, and a son in elementary. I have a wonderful life partner and we enjoy being outdoors whenever we get the chance. In my free time, I try to hike, meditate, and read. You can follow me @the_holistichairstylist

My name is Lydia and I was born and raised in Kansas City. I love my family, cats, and coffee! I’ve had a passion for the arts from a young age. You can find me attending First Fridays art shows or at a local coffee shop, usually painting. At the salon, hair is my canvas. I use my talent as an artist to create multi-dimensional hair transformations. I specialize in razor cuts and curly cuts. I love being able to bring my clients’ vision to life through my art - nothing feels better than being able to positively impact someone’s life!
