Ten years ago, Elevate Hair was born from a simple but powerful idea—to create a space where artistry, education, and community collide. It wasn’t just about putting on a show; it was about shifting the industry’s culture, providing a platform where hairdressers could come together to learn, grow, and be inspired. A movement built by hairdressers, for hairdressers, Elevate quickly became a space where innovation thrives, and creativity knows no bounds.
Now, as we mark a decade of Elevate Hair, we reflect on the moments that have shaped this movement into what it is today. What started as a grassroots initiative has evolved into a game-changing force in the industry, bringing together artists from all over the country to showcase their talent, push their limits, and redefine what it means to be a stylist.
A Legacy of Innovation & Community
From intimate salon gatherings to high-energy live shows, Elevate Hair has traveled across cities, lighting up stages with raw talent and groundbreaking artistry. Each event is more than just a show—it’s an immersive experience, a space where stylists can take their education beyond the chair, be inspired by industry icons, and challenge themselves to create in new and exciting ways.
Over the last decade, we’ve seen thousands of stylists take the stage, each bringing their own unique voice and vision to the Elevate platform. It’s where the next generation of talent is discovered, where techniques are reimagined, and where stylists build the confidence to take their careers to the next level.
But perhaps the most important part of Elevate Hair is the community it has built. A community of passionate artists who believe in collaboration over competition, who share knowledge freely, and who support one another on their journey. Because at its core, Elevate has always been about connection—connecting stylists with each other, with new ideas, and with the energy that keeps this industry moving forward.
What’s Next?
As we celebrate 10 years, we’re not slowing down—we’re leveling up. The next decade of Elevate Hair promises even more cutting-edge education, inspiring shows, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just discovering Elevate for the first time, we invite you to be part of the future of hair artistry.
Here’s to 10 years of pushing boundaries, breaking rules, and redefining what it means to be a stylist. And here’s to the next 10—bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever.
