But it’s tougher than ever out there for small businesses.

Here’s Libby’s farewell message…

Elysian was never just a salon. It was us, myself, my wonderful team, and most of all our incredible clients, many of whom became great friends.

However, after many years in business and fond memories, it is with a very heavy heart that I share the difficult decision to close the doors of Elysian Brows & Beauty.

It goes without saying that this has not been an easy decision. Like many small businesses, we have valiantly battled continuous challenges in recent years, rising costs, staffing shortages, and an increasingly difficult environment to operate within, particularly in our industry.
Despite our very best efforts to maintain the high standards, care, and experience that Elysian has always stood for, it has simply become unsustainable.

We built this on passion, creativity, connection, and trust. I feel so incredibly lucky to have shared that with so many wonderful clients over the years. Your loyalty, support, and friendship have meant more than I could ever properly express.

To my amazing team, especially Aimee and Gina, thank you for your dedication, resilience, and heart. You stood by me through everything, and I will always be so grateful for that. And to all of the people who have worked with Elysian over the years. After 25 years in this industry, I am deeply proud of what we built together.

While I am truly heartbroken to say goodbye, I am also incredibly thankful for every moment, every client, and every memory.

Thank you for being part of Elysian.

As Lady Joni of Mitchell always says, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Still, from what we hear, it would have been nice for the staff to be forewarned.

In the meantime, always keep your local business in mind – full-ish A-Z right about here.
