    Elevate Salon Institute has two Michigan campuses: Royal Oak and Utica. We do not operate a campus in Birmingham; this page is for prospective students who commute from the Birmingham area.

    From Birmingham take Maple Rd or 14 Mile Rd east to Crooks Rd, then turn south to the campus. Woodward Ave south to 14 Mile Rd and east to Crooks is the scenic alternative through the Rouge River corridor.

    Birmingham guests are about five miles north-west of the Royal Oak campus on the same 14 Mile corridor. Many come specifically because student-salon pricing sits far below the downtown Birmingham rate card.
