Meet the Crew
Ambia Elms (she/her)
Founder
The idea of olive + elm came after decades of working at salons and meeting new clients and not only experiencing firsthand lazy salon owners and Stylists but hearing story after story from clients of their own personal experiences on their search for simply a Stylist that would just take their time and LISTEN. How hard could it be to teach basic Customer Service skills to new Stylists and watch them flourish?? After 5 years of taking care of our clients, I would have to say, it can be difficult but it's also amazing to see such young humans, many who spent their cosmetology school experience ONLINE, be completely natural at making our guests feel super comfortable.
Creating a salon space that had a smaller carbon footprint was super important too and she is working to make olive + elm not only a salon full of amazing Stylists, but also a space where almost every product used has little to no negative impact on our creatures, our water and most importantly, our bodies.
I am no longer able to take clients
