Meet Elijah – a Minneapolis Hair Stylist Specializing in Creative Color & Inclusive Care
Elijah is a passionate Minneapolis hair stylist who brings creativity, clarity, and care to every service he provides. Specializing in hair cutting, custom color, and vivid creative color, Elijah’s approach is centered on collaboration, communication, and helping clients feel fully seen and understood.
Known for his detailed consultations and transparent process, Elijah ensures that every step of your appointment feels comfortable and clear—from the first conversation to the final result. Whether you’re after a bold new haircut, a dimensional copper tone, or an expressive vivid transformation, Elijah’s goal is always the same: to make sure you walk out loving your look.
As a transgender stylist, Elijah is committed to making the salon a welcoming, affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone seeking a safe, inclusive environment to explore their personal style. He believes in building real connections, managing expectations with honesty, and creating an experience where clients feel both cared for and celebrated.
Outside the salon, Elijah lives in the Minnetonka/Hopkins/St. Louis Park area with his fiancé Carter and their beloved crew of pets—including a cat, two snakes, and two lizards. A true artist at heart, he loves painting, jewelry-making, sketching, and dancing the night away at concerts or queer dance nights.
If you’re looking for a stylist who listens deeply, works with precision, and brings big creative energy to every appointment, Elijah is ready to help you express your truest self—through hair.
