About Elm & Ivy
Elm & Ivy opened in 2019 with four chairs, a wall of plants, and a simple conviction: a salon should feel like a deep breath.
We built the studio around long appointments and honest consultations. No double-booking, no upsell scripts — just experienced stylists with the time to do the work properly. Our color room mixes low-ammonia lines, our backbar is refilled (not thrown away), and every product we retail is one our team genuinely uses.
In 2024 we grew into the shop next door, adding our retail apothecary and a dedicated treatment suite. Same four-chair heart, a little more room to breathe.
What we believe
Time is the luxury
Appointments are never stacked. Your stylist’s attention is yours for the whole visit.
Honest advice
If a treatment won’t help your hair, we’ll tell you — and tell you what will.
Sustainable habits
Refillable backbar, recycled foils, and retail brands that share our standards.
