Elsa Sulo
Level 1 Stylist

Elsa who described herself as

being "passionate" about doing hair when she interviewed with us. It was obvious that she was meant to be a Stylist. She immigrated to the US in 2018 and has not looked back since. Her motivation is to be admired as although she was already a Stylist from her birth country, she had to go back to school in NYS to obtain her License here.  She wasted no time in doing it all the while working and taking care of her 3 children! Elsa is super friendly and always wants to please anyone she comes in contact with.  Besides being adept in all things hair, she is exceptional in formal styling. We love having Elsa on our team!
