Elevate Beauty Lounge was born from a vision to do salon life differently. After 26 years in the professional beauty industry, founder Sarah Mitchell wanted to create more than a beautiful place to get your hair done—she envisioned a salon where education never stops, excellence is expected, stylists are empowered to grow, and every guest feels genuinely valued.
Sarah’s career has taken her beyond the salon floor and onto the global stage, including professional work at New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week. Under her leadership, Elevate Beauty Lounge has been recognized as a Top 200 Salon by Salon Today for three consecutive years, honoring excellence in business performance, innovation, and industry leadership.
Founded in Huntersville in 2020, Elevate continues to grow as a team-focused salon built on artistry, education, mentorship, integrity, and an elevated guest experience. Every detail—from the way we train our team to the way we care for our guests—is rooted in the belief that beautiful hair is only part of the experience. You should leave feeling confident, cared for, and truly elevated.
