Elisabeth
Elisabeth’s love of hair started literally before her earliest memory. By the time she was 5 years old, all the scissors in her house were kept under lock and key, because she would cut her hair (or any unfortunate pet’s) at any opportunity.
Growing up in Mountain View, Elisabeth channeled her innate, creative energy into the performing arts, where she was exposed to the beauty world through the hair and makeup required for shows. She initially attended college as a psychology major, but quickly left to enroll at The Salon Professional Academy in San Jose. Elisabeth justified this bold decision when she graduated at the top of her class, and then immediately was hired by diPietro Todd. If you ask her, she’ll never understand why they hired her as a color assistant when her hair was the most unflattering shade of blonde known to humanity. (Seriously, ask her for pictures—there’s a good reason she’s a brunette now). After several years of notoriously intensive training at the illustrious salon, Elisabeth graduated her program and returned home to the peninsula, where she joined the team at Art + Gold Salon.
As a belieber in ongoing education and professional advancement, Elisabeth is constantly enriching her knowledge of hair coloring techniques and staying abreast of the latest trends and techniques. From dimensional, low-maintenance brunettes and bright, bold blondes, to natural coppery melts and the classic “Did I get my color done?—Oh no, I’ve just been at the beach a lot lately,” Elisabeth is here to make you look and feel your most beautiful and confident!
