Welcome Back! Our doors are open!
It’s been a few weeks since we opened our doors, and I didn’t think I’d be saying those words for a while. It was quite entertaining actually when it was announced because the majority of our staff were booked away at cottages, including myself!
PEC was great as usual. After two cancelled trips, I finally got to enjoy my weekend stay at Wander The Resort. It was fabulous and magical. The place was so well thought out and designed perfectly for my taste buds. We spent most days by the beach, in the evenings by the fire pit on our patio and in between those times, we would be eating out at some of the County‘s finest foods. I can’t wait to go back in October. The rest will surely be needed by then because now all I do is limp home after each shift while working magic on those nine-month roots… COVID roots that is…I think I need to invest in a jumbo-size tub of Epsom salts and soak in that every single night after work.
I also wanted to bring you up to speed with some new additions to the Elevate family!
Maria - Jr. Stylist (I’m sure most of you have met her at the old location) came back with a vengeance! She finished her school and has been a rockstar on the floor delivering some of the most beautiful hair colours and blowouts I’ve seen. We’re so proud of her and all that she has accomplished – even at seven months pregnant and leaving with swollen ankles at the end of each shift.
Vanessa - Master Stylist is back adding an extra day to her schedule to catch up with our crazy list and we couldn’t be happier to have her here more often.
Karissa - Stylist is back doing her beautiful balayage as usual with her very knowledgeable technical art of hair colouring.
And we have a new member we want to introduce – we are super excited to welcome Hajara (Jr. Stylist) to the Elevate family!
With a background in law living in the UK, she decided to switch things up a bit and pursue her passion for hair. She was also a fellow classmate with Maria. The moment I met her, saw her work and found out she went to my favourite church, Elevation, I knew it was meant to be. She is very sweet, and I love her accent (I have a thing for accents just like Maria). She is such a gem and an eager learner. I must say I thought I was coming back to work having some help on the floor, but these two new junior stylists have been fully booked and I think I need to look for another assistant. I guess this is a good problem to have. We’re also excited to have her because she offers custom wig making and colouring, a variety of extension methods and she can rock a mean balayage.
Our goal is to get through the waitlist by the fall but are always accepting new referrals and new clients, saving them secret little spots because we can’t forget the newcomers. Again, we want to thank you so much for your support and for sticking by us during these crazy times. I’m so excited to have our doors open again. It feels refreshing and fills my soul when I see the happiness radiate from my clients to be back out in a somewhat normal world feeling beautiful as ever.
Now for me, I’m busy making up for some seriously lost opportunities during the pandemic – this past April was my 10th anniversary with my darling husband, Kevin. This Saturday, we’re having a vow renewal ceremony to recommit and dedicate our love to one another for the next decades to come.
I feel it’s so important to do this in all your personal relationships, whether it’s with your friends, spouse, parents and even your children. I can’t wait to share some of the photos with you guys. If you don’t know, we got married on a TV show I didn’t get to do much of the planning, so I feel like I’m a bride all over again. This is exciting and I can’t wait to share this memory with my children. Please pray for sunshine, great weather and good times for us. Also, follow along on @sheartherapy’s IG account for some BTS moments!
I love you all and see you soon! (It feels good to say that again)
