Sarah Mitchell
Artistic Director + Owner
With over 23 years of experience in the beauty industry, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to establish myself as a leading figure in high-end hair design. As the proud owner of Elevate Beauty Lounge, I combine my passion for creativity with a commitment to excellence, ensuring that my clients receive unparalleled service and stunning results.
My journey in hairdressing began at an early age. After honing my skills in top salons, I decided to launch my own. Over the years, my dedication to the craft has earned me a loyal clientele and several awards, including Top 200 by Salon Today. My expertise spans a variety of styles, from chic modern cuts to luxurious color treatments, and I strive to make sure each client leaves feeling confident and beautiful.
At Elevate Beauty Lounge, I’ve created a welcoming oasis where clients can indulge in a personalized experience tailored to their unique needs. I believe in the power of education and continuously seek out the latest trends and techniques, regularly attending workshops and industry events to stay at the forefront of the evolving beauty landscape for not only myself but my team as well.
Beyond my technical skills, I pride myself on my warm personality and my ability to connect with clients on a personal level. I take the time to listen to their desires and concerns, making every appointment a collaborative experience. My commitment to quality and client satisfaction is reflected in the salon’s stylish ambiance and in the talented team I’ve assembled, all of whom share my vision of excellence.
When I’m not at the salon, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling. My love for beauty extends beyond the chair, as I love to mentor aspiring stylists.
Whether you’re looking for a transformative cut, a radiant color, or simply a moment of relaxation, I invite you to experience the art of hair like never before at Elevate Beauty Lounge!

My journey has been driven by a commitment to continuous growth and education, including advanced training with Eufora, to deliver exceptional and personalized services. To me, hair is more than creating a beautiful look—it’s about helping people feel seen, confident, and truly cared for.

I have had the distinct honor of cultivating my career at Elevate, an esteemed Top 200 Salon renowned for its commitment to artistry and excellence. Under the expert guidance of our owner, Sarah, I refined my craft, specializing in the art of balayage, luminous highlights, and bespoke color transformations.

This dedication enables me to deliver a truly elevated, personalized experience tailored to each client’s unique hair texture, lifestyle, and aspirations.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is building meaningful connections with clients from diverse backgrounds. Outside the salon, I cherish moments spent with family and finding time to unwind. I am currently welcoming new clients and would be delighted to guide you on your journey to achieving your dream hair.
