About Saudade Hair Studio

Julie, Tina and April had worked together for over 20 years at Arlene's Salon and Spa. When Arlene announced her retirement in the Summer of 2015, the girls decided to open a salon to keep the family of stylists and clientele together. The name Saudade was chosen, as it represents "the love that remains." Saudade is proud to bring cutting edge, innovative hair care, in addition to manicures, pedicures and facial waxing, to the Mt. Pleasant area. We pride ourselves on not only using the best products available but on teaching you to use them as well!

Rose Elliott, Stylist Rose went to Cosmetology school way off in a far away land called Flint, Michigan. Land of cold snow, beautiful summers and home of the Great Lakes!
Rose had a great start in the field of cosmetology working under Judy Stanley who taught her precise hair cutting. Michigan was in a recession and jobs were getting harder to find so she and her family decided to move South. How they ended up in South Carolina was literally by a spin of the globe. Her finger landed on South Carolina.
After settling in Mt. Pleasant she went to work at a Salon in West Ashley. She worked there for about a year when she saw an ad for a salon for sale in Mt. Pleasant. She bought that salon from Nancy McCombs. It was called Mt. Pleasant Beauty Salon. Rose met many wonderful people there. And she heard all the wonderful stories from the ladies who had lived their lives in Mt. Pleasant before all the progress that we now see here. Rose sold that salon in 1998, and went to work with the wonderful family that was at Arlene's Beauty Salon. When Arlene retired, it was thru the hard work of three of the girls that we were blessed to have been able to keep most of our family together at Saudade. And we are close enough to the old salon that most of our wonderful clientele stayed with us as well.
Rose has taken many classes and certifications over the years, most recently in Keratin application. She still prefers Goldwell hair color and also works with Illusionist color. And she still works with permanent waves! By hard work from talented stylists and the grace of God, we will be here many more years to come.
