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
