Amber has been part of the Elation Salon family since 2013, when a high school internship first sparked her interest in the beauty industry. What began as a love for makeup quickly grew into a full-blown passion for hair and she’s been chasing that passion ever since. Starting as an apprentice right after her high school, Amber has spent over a decade growing her craft at Elation. She kept her make-up roots alive by offering stunning bridal and special event looks. Amber’s dedication to education keeps her skills sharp and creativity flowing- so much that she went on to being an educator for top brands like Eleven Australia.

When she’s not behind the chair, Amber loves nothing more than quality time with her husband ,
Daniel, their two adorable kids, Isaiah and Everly, and walking their dogs Gracie and Georgie—or maybe browsing the racks at her favorite shops. She's also an avid reader who loves to wind down with a good book.

Amber is certified in hand tied weft hair extensions, tape in extensions and specializes in: Bridal and Special event Make-up, Custom Color Creations, Textured Hair Cutting, Precision Cutting, Smoothing services

Kate has been with Elation Salon since 2010- she actually started on a Friday the 13th, which clearly worked out in her favor!

She constantly growing—taking classes, learning from her coworkers, and diving into videos to stay inspired and up-to-date.

When Kate isn’t behind the chair you find her spending time with her family- her favorite place to be. Another favorite spot for Kate to be at, is the Bank of the Pavilion, drinking a craft beer jamming out to Christ Stapleton.

When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find her soaking in the peaceful vibes of the coast, enjoying life as a passenger princess on the back of her husbands Harley, or curled up on the couch with a good crime or thriller series. She proudly wears many hats- dedicated wife, loving mom (sometimes taxi driver), loyal friend and dog lover. Lori heart beats for her family, the salon, and the people who sit in her chair.

Ayreanna

Ayreanna became a vibrant addition to the Elation team in early 2025, just months after graduating from Paul Mitchell in October 2024. Driven by a passion for her craft, she’s always eager to take on new classes and challenges, with a focus on mastering vivids, blonding, and braiding techniques.

Outside of the salon, you’ll find Ayreanna soaking up quality time with friends and family, indulging in a good book, basking in the sun by the pool, or curling up with a cozy blanket to enjoy her favorite rom-coms.

Linsey worked for Elation Salon since 2020 and bought the salon from the original owner December 2024. As not only the owner, but also a stylist she is living out her childhood dream- scissors in hand, smile on her face and over 20 years of experience under her belt. Originally from South Carolina, life brought her and her husband (from Ohio) up to Kingston, NH. They fell in love with the charm of Kingston and decided to build a life here.

Linsey is a passionate hair stylist with a heart for helping people feel confident, beautiful and totally themselves. Dual licensed in Cosmetology and Master Barbering, she lives by the motto: a good stylist is always learning and is constantly fueled by hair education. Thanks to her love for music. You may just catch her belting out a tune while working her magic behind the chair but watch out for her BIG contagious laugh.

When Linsey isn’t at the Salon, she’s soaking up family time with her crew; Marcus, Leilani and Malachi along with the small petting zoo – complete with 2 dogs, 3 goats, 30 chickens, 2 guinea pigs, a gecko and a snake. She is happiest in nature whether it’s kayaking, glamping or walking on the beach. If she’s not outside with family, you’ll find her flying high at the aerial dance studio on the silks. Linsey puts her whole heart into her family, every person working for her and who sits in her chair.

Linsey is certified in hand tied weft hair extensions, tape in extensions and specializes in: Formal Styling, Vivid/Fashion Colors, Dimensional Color, Haircutting, Textured & Smoothing Services

His behind-the-scenes dedication keeps the salon shining, the systems running, and the focus right where it belongs—on beautiful hair and happy customers.
