Sarah Borgenicht
Co-owner & Stylist
When I was little, Santa gave me Cut and Style Barbie. This gift, unbeknownst to me, paved the way for my future. Growing up I was unsure what I wanted to choose as a career, but I always knew I wanted to have hair styling as a professional skill.
I earned my Bachelors degree in business at Buffalo State College. I was 19 and taking classes at Buff State that I started working in the salon industry. I have been fortunate to be able to learn from many talented stylists, Mercedes being one of them .
I am very happy and proud that Mercedes and I were able to open Elysian to provide our clients with the experience and atmosphere that we appreciate so much. “Your vibe attracts your tribe” and we think our vibe is cool, laid back, “peaceful and perfect.”

Do you strive to have the best hair version of yourself but don’t want to be tied to a salon to achieve it? I can help you… Actually, I would love to help you.
Your hair can make or break your look and we all know a hairstyle is extremely personal. For one person, cutting it shorter can be liberating while putting the fear of God in another (yes, it’s dramatic but very true). I would love to work with you on your hair journey to find the perfect balance of taking care of your hair without running back to the salon for constant maintenance. Im dedicated to educating myself in effortless/ lived in hair cutting and color. I find lived in hair to be a signature look, off trend and timeless - arranged rather than done. The effect is romantic, the perfect mix of pulled together and a tad sassy..
I’ve been fortunate to be in the industry of beautifying for the past 25 years and lucky enough to build a salon community with Sarah. It’s a priority at Elysian to listen to your hair goals, give honest feedback for what’s realistic and best for the health of your hair. Professional service with a down to earth attitude. Cant wait to meet you ; )
