A Cut Above

Elizabeth Jean Salon in Claremore is open for ­business and ready to serve.

Kristin Roseberry (left) and Lacey Hendrix recently opened Claremore’s newest salon, ­Elizabeth Jean, coined after both of their middle names.

As the newest hair salon in town, Elizabeth Jean Salon opened its doors on June 4, with the official ribbon cutting and open house on July 9. Located in the Triumph Towne Centre on the corner of Patti Page and Florence in Claremore, Elizabeth Jean Salon is easily accessible to ­residents.

    The name of the new salon is a combination of the middle names of its two co-owners, Kristin Elizabeth Roseberry and Lacey Jean Hendrix, both born and raised in Claremore. Kristin has been doing hair for 11 years, first in Owasso and most recently at another salon in Claremore. Lacey has been in the business for three and a half years.

    The two met when Lacey became a client of Kristin's in Owasso several years ago. Lacey graduated from Oklahoma State University in May of 2011. She then moved back home to Claremore, and her and Kristin were well on their way to venturing out on a new opportunity.

   “We always talked about opening a salon together as soon as Lacey went to school,” said Kristin. “It happened a lot faster than we expected, but we are ­really excited about how well it’s been received.”

    “It has been surprising to us to see how busy we have been,” added Lacey. “Even the first day we opened our doors, we were very busy. It really showed us that there is a large, unmet need in this community, and we are excited to help meet that need.”

    The pair attributes some of their success to their great location and nice building in a high traffic area. The rest of the ­credit, they say, goes to their clients and families for all of their loyalty and support.

    “We have amazing clients and our families have been great through this process,” said Kristin. “We truly are blessed to have this opportunity and so thankful for those who have helped us get to where we are, as well as those who will continue to help us grow. One of the best parts about being a business ­owner in Claremore is meeting new people and having more opportunities to get involved with the community.”

    The services offered at Elizabeth Jean Salon include ­haircuts, colors and styles, special occasion styling, blowouts, ­conditioning treatments, keratin complex smoothing treatments, facial waxing and more. Pureology and Redken product lines are also available at the salon.

    “We would love to someday be able to expand our services to offer our customers more ­opportunities that they may not currently have access to in Claremore,” said Lacey. “We hope to eventually grow Elizabeth Jean into an upscale, full-service salon offering nail and spa ­services in addition to the hair and facial waxing services we already offer.”  

    One of their main priorities is to insure that they are ­educating their employees to become better stylists. “We really want this to be a teaching salon,” said Kristin. “We hope to educate those young stylists who come through our salon on proper techniques and working conditions, and encourage them to keep up with continuing education and changing trends so that they can better serve the people of the community.”

    In order to better serve their employees and more efficiently run their salon, Kristin and Lacey will be attending the Redken Summit Business Seminar and Salon Training Program in Tampa, Florida this October.

    Elizabeth Jean Salon is open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome. Find the salon on Facebook at www.facebook.com/elizabethjeansalon  to be the first to learn about new products and ­upcoming specials.
