Ellav8te Salon

Ellav8te Salon is the creation of Samie Gonzalez, a New Orleans native who launched her professional career after graduating from the Aveda Institute New Orleans in 2010. The salon offers a laid-back luxury space in the heart of Metairie, providing a relaxing escape for busy moms or girl bosses who need to work. Known for its beautiful, cozy, and chic environment, the salon’s mission is to educate guests and offer solutions to restore, maintain, and enhance their hair. They focus on creating change not only in their clients’ features but also within themselves, the salon team, and the community. Services include dimensional color, "Lived In" lower maintenance color, and extensions, with an emphasis on personalized care. Clients praise the talented team, especially Casi, who is known for her knowledge, kindness, and the relaxing experience she provides, including a head massage with steam. The salon is also popular for curly hair cuts, with Ariana offering expert curly cuts at a fraction of the price charged elsewhere. Hannah is appreciated for her lovely demeanor and the great haircuts she gives, along with helpful hair care lessons. Overall, Ellav8te Salon is highly recommended for its personable, non-rushed service and its friendly, professional stylists who make every visit special.
