Elena
A proud Buffalo native and graduate of the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, Elena has always had a passion for creativity. She found the perfect outlet in the world of hair, where she brings both artistic flair and a genuine love for connecting with people.
Since joining Salon in the Tower in 2009, Elena has become one of our most experienced and well-loved stylists. She’s traveled to New York City four times to train at Bumble & Bumble University and now shares her knowledge by mentoring our junior stylists. She is also certified in curly hair cutting by DevaCurl, and especially enjoys working with curly textures, precision cuts, and dimensional highlights.
Outside the salon, Elena stays busy with her husband, Corey, and their three children—Oliver, Lyla, and Autumn. She’s a social butterfly who loves shopping, reading, crafting, and camping. Her passion for life and people shines through in everything she does—especially when she's behind the chair, treating clients like family.
