Lucy Cook, Executive Lead Stylist
"Since starting work at Elajé in 2014, myself, and the people around me, have noticed a huge difference in my personality and character. I’ve become more confident with myself, especially when interacting with clients and staff. I love working here and am beyond proud that I am part of Team Elajé!"

Alana Martin, Director Stylist
“I would say my journey at Elajé has helped me grow as a person. It has helped turn me from a girl into a woman, and from being very fragile to finding my voice. I just continue to grow everyday in work and in my personal life and have Elajé to thank.”
Chloe Morgan, Stylist
“I joined the Elajé family over two years ago and I love working here. The support given by Julia and my teammates is incredible, whether that be personal or work-related. We are pushed daily to challenge ourselves, which drives our personal development.”
Aimee Deans, Young Therapist
“I will forever be truly grateful for finding a team and work place like Elajé. I work with the most supporting and extraordinary group of girls, we have all worked so hard to build an unbreakable bond. It’s what makes Elajé truly special and unique.”
Saffron Henry, Lead Stylist
“I have had endless opportunities at Elaje, including learning life skills like body language, communication, teamwork and lots more that you will carry with you forever. Plus EVERYONE respects and appreciates each other.”
Emily Welton, Front of House & Young Therapist
“Since joining the team at Elaje, I have achieved an incredible amount. Not only in achieving all of my beauty qualifications, but gaining in confidence and going through personal growth.”
Rebecca Meek, Beauty Therapist
“I first started at Elaje with no Beauty experience, I would not be as successful as I am in my current career if it were not for finding Julia and Elaje. I started Elaje as an inexperienced, shy 18 year old and now I’m a confident, highly knowledgeable 27 year old Beauty Therapist. I'm proud of how Elaje has helped me to grow.”
Shannon Wright, Young Stylist
“My hair dressing journey at Elaje has been amazing; the training and support you get is unmatched and I don’t think you would find it anywhere else! I am so grateful to be a part of it.”
