Meet Elijah – a Minneapolis Hair Stylist Specializing in Creative Color & Inclusive Care

Elijah (he/him/his) is a neurodivergent, transgender hair stylist who brings creativity, passion, and care to every project he takes on! Specializing in transformative haircuts, vivid colors, and gender-affirming experiences, Elijah’s priority is making all clients feel comfortable, respected, and understood throughout the entire appointment.

After graduating cosmetology school in 2019, Elijah worked behind the chair for nearly 3 years. While working at his last salon he rediscovered his true self and took some time away to focus on his gender transition. Now, he’s authentically himself, more confident and ready to get his hands back in some hair!

Creating a safe, inclusive and affirming space for the LGBTQ+ community will always be Elijah’s goal. He believes in having real connections and honest communication about hair goals/expectations while still being mindful of budgets.

When he’s outside of the salon, Elijah lives in the Minnetonka/Hopkins/St Louis Park area with his wonderful fiancé Carter and their unique family: a cat, 2 lizards, and 2 snakes! His love for art continues with painting, jewelry making, charcoal sketching, tie dye and going to concerts with friends.

If you’re searching for a stylist who listens and cares deeply, brings excited creative energy and will help you become the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to be, then search no further! Elijah would be honored to help bring your vision to life!
