Our Story
Welcome to olive + elm, where hair meets heart in the hands of a passionate stylist with 27 years of experience! I'm Ambia, the proud owner and creative force behind this cozy sanctuary for hair transformations.
​
From day one, my love for this industry has been insatiable. I immersed myself in continuous learning, attending every class and show to stay at the forefront of trends and techniques. I happily dedicated myself to perfecting my skills and building a clientele that I cherished.
​
However, finding a salon that truly resonated with my high standards proved challenging. It wasn't until 2016, after welcoming my son, Oliver Elms, into the world, that I decided it was time to make a bold move and create my own haven for hair enthusiasts. In 2019, I found the perfect space, and from that day forward, I set uncompromising standards for olive + elm.
​
The journey has been enriched by the amazing stylists who have graced our salon, leaving their indelible mark. Their presence has shaped me into a more patient and determined person. They have help ignite my passion for teaching.
​
Our salon is more than a space for hair; it's a commitment to constant education, a clean environment, sustainability practices, and a welcoming + inclusive space for every good soul. The eclectic, comfortable atmosphere reflects our dedication to authenticity.
​
As we craft your look, rest assured it's with clean, guilt-free products. We're also proud participants in the @greencirclesalon initiative, recycling 95% of our salon waste responsibly.
