“Highland Park's best kept secret.”
Meet Elisa
Hair artistry is more than a career for Elisa Loretta—it is part of her family legacy. A third-generation hair professional, Elisa follows in the footsteps of her grandmother, a hairstylist, and her grandfather, who owned a barbershop.
With more than 27 years of experience as a licensed cosmetologist, Elisa’s career has taken her from the salon to Broadway, print, film, and commercial productions. Today, she is also a college cosmetology educator, sharing her knowledge, technical expertise, and passion for the craft with the next generation of beauty professionals.
At Elisa Loretta Hair Studio, she has created a relaxed, intimate environment that feels refreshingly different from a traditional salon. Known for her expertise in corrective color, precision cutting, curly and textured hair, extensions, styling, and men’s grooming, Elisa approaches every service with artistry, care, and close attention to the individual.
Her advanced education includes training with internationally recognized names such as Schwarzkopf Professional, Redken New York, Vidal Sassoon London, and ARROJO NYC. Whether working with straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair, Elisa combines technical precision with an intuitive understanding of shape, texture, color, and personal style.
Her goal is simple: to translate each client’s inspiration into beautiful, sophisticated hair that feels authentic, flattering, and effortless to wear.
