ABOUT ELISSA

Hair Individualist

With 25 years behind the chair, Elissa blends artistry, intuition, and lived experience to create hair that feels deeply personal and effortlessly wearable. With a background in Psychology, she’s a thoughtful listener who believes the best hair starts with understanding the person—not chasing trends or quick-fix transformations. Outside the salon, Elissa is into road trips, thrifting and collecting vintage to sell at markets, time with her dog, and trying her way through the city’s restaurant scene.

Elissa specializes in razor and dry cutting, curly and textured hair, fine or thinning hair, grey grow-outs, and custom cut-and-colour transformations. From lived-in and luxury balayage blondes to bold reds and dimensional brunettes, every look is tailored with purpose, longevity, and hair health in mind—designed to grow out beautifully between visits. She’s also Vancouver’s only Trichotillomania and BFRB-friendly stylist, offering a compassionate, judgment-free space built on trust, patience, and care.

Luxury, longevity and hair that feels like you.

  • "I have followed Elissa to any salon she goes. She is warm, funny, easy to talk to and gives me a great cut every time. This was my first visit to the den and I really loved the interior design and thoughtful attention to the retail area. All the staff are really nice!"

    —Jenna D.

  • "Cannot recommend Elissa enough! She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and empathetic, not to mention so talented at what she does! As someone with chronic pain, having a low maintenance hair style is really important to me, and she did everything she could to make me feel so beautiful and confident with a haircut that fits my needs. She perfectly executed what I had in mind. She even gave me a tutorial on how I can use Velcro rollers to achieve a blowout look with minimal effort! Game changer! Paying that bit extra to have Elissa's experience and talent was so worth it to me. Thank you Elissa!"

    —Morgan
