"They have encouraged me to listen to my heart"
"You know home away from home? That’s what Uplifted is to me.Have you ever felt like you’ve been a part of so many friend groups, sports, activities, clubs and have never felt like you belonged? That was me before all of this.Uplifted is a place of growth.
Honestly? Screw Uplifted, it’s the group women who make it what it is. It is love, light, encouraging - all while it is also dark and challenging.It isn’t dark in the way you may think. The darkness was what we all have grown out of. Starting at Uplifted, I was unsure of life. I didn’t know where I belonged, I had no one I could truly be myself around and to be completely vulnerable, my marriage was failing. I started here not knowing the future.
Little did I know, I would have clients that loved on me, a team that has been by my side since day one, and a boss that has treated me like a human being. These people have all not only loved on me, but loved on me HARD. They have encouraged me to listen to my heart and to do the best for myself. To blossom into the woman I am, to continuously learn more and more everyday, and to also return the love. In my years here, I have travelled more places than I can count. I have bought a house, a new car. I see my family more often than I ever have, all while being present.Starting at Uplifted, I was scared.
Now - I am confident, I own my sh*t, and I am sure as HELL doing the damn thing.So Uplifted, cheers to you transforming me. To the best me I have truly ever known. To seeing a smile on my face daily. And lastly, for loving me hard. As for the guests who have all sat in my chair, cheers to you for being beautiful. For believing in me and creating the best stylist I would have never thought I could be. I could go on and on about this home of mine, but it is simply - Uplifted."

"I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I’m at in my career if I didn’t have uplifted in my corner. "
"I chose uplifted because I wanted to be part of a team that works together to build each other up to be the best version of themselves personally & professionally. That’s exactly what uplifted does. I knew going into working at uplifted that it was going to be the best place for me to start my career, but it exceeded my expectations in an immense amount of ways.Starting off in the associate program where I could consistently grow & learn how to be the stylist I am today really benefited my career.
I got to build up the confidence to be on my own by working with Kaylee then gradually taking on my own guests. Doing this really took away any anxiety I had about starting my career. I really don’t think I would be where I am today without the associate program. We as a team consistently make time for education because we’re always looking to evolve. Our growth mindset as a team is what makes Uplifted what it is. We always want to grow personally & professionally & all of us having that mindset is what motivates us to push each other to be the best versions of ourselves.
Having a team you can count on is so important to me & I can confidently say we are the strongest team. I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I’m at in my career if I didn’t have Uplifted in my corner. Who knew taking a job at a salon in columbia missouri away from my family & friends was going to change my life forever in the best way possible. I’ve done more than I could ever imagine within my first few years with uplifted & I’m so thankful that I’m able to live the amazing life I live, but I have to give the credit to Uplifted for putting me where I am today.Uplifted gave me confidence, beautiful friendships, & a home away from home. I couldn’t ask for a better place to be & I’m forever grateful for everything Uplifted has brought to my life."

" it’s a girl party every single day. "
"I love working at Uplifted because it’s a girl party every single day. Imagine a space where every conversation is filled with genuine compliments and heartfelt discussions about topics we hold dear but seldom share elsewhere. The camaraderie here is unlike anything I’ve experienced, and it’s this supportive, uplifting environment that truly sets Uplifted apart. The women here are champions of each other’s success, offering unwavering support and authenticity that is genuinely inspiring.
As the Online Experience Manager, I’m grateful for the opportunity to merge my passion for creative marketing with the dynamic energy of our salon. My role allows me to showcase the incredible talent and dedication of our team, amplifying the impact we have on our clients’ lives. Every day, I’m inspired by the work we do together, knowing that our collective efforts help each other thrive and shine.
Being part of Uplifted has also allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined. The collaborative spirit here encourages us all to push our limits, both personally and professionally. My experience in brand-building has been enriched by the unique challenges and rewards of working in such a vibrant and supportive environment. It’s not just about the work we do individually, but about how we come together as a team to create something truly special.
The attention to detail and the unparalleled experience we provide to our clients make Uplifted a place I am profoundly proud to be a part of. This isn’t just a job—it’s a community where we lift each other up, celebrate our successes, and continuously strive to be the best versions of ourselves. Uplifted isn’t just a salon; it’s a place where I’ve found a true home, surrounded by women who inspire me every day to grow and succeed together."
