✨ Fresh restyle ✨
✂️ A gorgeous textured, layered bob full of movement and volume ❤️

She’s entered her expensive brunette era 🤎✨

Giving autumn luxury with a side of hair envy 💁🏻‍♀️ Swipe for the before ➡️

HairGlowUp

All her own hair… yes, EVERY inch! 😍✨

Just a sprinkle of highlights to brighten up those dreamy lengths, finished with a soft wave for that Rapunzel moment 💁🏼‍♀️🤍

Major hair envy for this beauty — honestly, how is this fair?! 😂🔥

“On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.”
“It’s October 3rd.” 💖

He then asked if I could squeeze him in for a full head of highlights in my lunch break. Calm down, Aaron. You’re fit, but you’re no getting a three-hour appointment in 30 minutes. 💅😂

Happy Mean Girls Day from The Lounge. You CAN sit with us… just book the chair first. ✂️✨

Soft dimension, seamless ribbons of light and that unreal glass-like shine 🤎

Rich, blended, low-maintenance and proof that brunette can have just as much impact as blonde. ✨

Gels by Elise 💅❤️

🎀 MEET ME ~ the girl behind Gels by Elise

i thought it was about time i properly reintroduced myself, especially as there are lots of new faces around here… hiiii, i’m elise! 🤍

i’ve been in the beauty industry for over 2 years now and Gels by Elise has become such a huge part of my life. what started with me doing nails has grown into offering builder gel, gel x, brows & lash lifts and i absolutely love what i do 🫶🏼

outside of the salon, i’m currently in my 4th year of my primary education degree 👩🏼‍🏫 so my life is basically a mixture of uni, assignments, lesson planning, clients and trying to keep everything organised 😂

a few random things about me…

🎀 pink will forever be my favourite colour
🍵 i LOVE a matcha
🐾 i’m completely obsessed with dogs and will absolutely ask to see photos of yours
🐴 i’m a massive horse girl and have had horses for years
💄 i love everything beauty — nails, skincare, hair, makeup… all of it
✨ i’m a perfectionist, especially when it comes to my work
🎬 Tangled is my favourite film and always will be
🕵🏼‍♀️ i love crime/SWAT type programmes
🛍️ a little shopping trip is one of my favourite things to do
💬 i LOVE a good chat, so your appointments definitely won’t be awkward or silent hahaha

one of my favourite things about this job is the relationships i’ve built with my clients. appointments are so much more than just getting your nails, brows or lashes done, i genuinely love hearing all your life updates, having a laugh and creating a space where you can switch off for a little while 🤍

i’m also constantly wanting to learn and improve. whether it’s new techniques, products, treatments or training, i’m always looking for ways to make Gels by Elise better and give you the best experience i can.

balancing uni alongside running a business can be slightly chaotic 😂 but i’m genuinely so proud of how much my little business has grown over the past 2 years.

whether you’ve been coming to me since the beginning, you’re a regular, or you’ve only just found my page, thank you for being here and supporting me. it means so much more than you probably realise 🥹🤍

so hiiii, i’m elise — the girl behind Gels by Elise 🎀✨ # # #

The retail shelf is now fully stacked of our Fika blend 😍

From warm copper to a soft, creamy blonde with a fresh blunt finish — bright, blended and giving expensive hair from every angle 🤍

We're so excited to be teaming up with Findhorn Bay Arts to celebrate Cultural Day in Forres! This Saturday from 11am-4pm in Grant Park! Come join us for all the fun!
