About me

Mindy Elder on social media platforms 


Hi, I’m Mindy, I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist since 2012 and have loved every moment of helping people look and feel their best. As a proud mom and devoted partner, I bring warmth, creativity, and genuine care to everything I do.  

During the week, I work as an Area Manager, overseeing salon operations and services for residents in independent and assisted living communities. Those who have Alzheimer’s and Dementia need love too! 

I’m passionate about making sure each resident receives exceptional, personalized care that brightens their day. On weekends, you can find me behind the chair, offering one-on-one hair & brow services to my amazing clients, doing what I love most! Outside of the salon, I’m a free spirit who enjoys spending time in nature, rockhounding, and practicing traditional archery. 

These hobbies inspire my eye for detail and appreciation for natural beauty.  

I specialize in brow waxing, brow tinting, brow lamination, lash lifts, balayage and ombré coloring services. I take pride in customizing every service to reflect your unique style and personality. My goal is to create a welcoming, relaxing space where you leave feeling confident, refreshed, and radiant. I’m a team player and love building connections within my community and collaborating with those in the beauty industry. 

Over the last 15 years I have focused on personal growth within the beauty industry. I can confidently say I lead with a servants heart and I undoubtedly drive results with compassion and empathy in mind. Supporting my peers and meeting new people everyday brings me joy!

Why I'm here

Just a unicorn waiting to be discovered, in the meantime I'm serving those in assisted living and memory care with stellar hair and nails <3.
Also, just browsing opportunities occasionally. I would "excel" as a retail account manager or field manager in VA! I currently oversee 12 senior living and assisted living salons.
