What the winner gets
Our $1,000 Transformation package, done start to finish by our team.

Your questions, answered
Is entry free?
Yes. No purchase is necessary, and buying something does not improve your chance of winning. You can also enter free by mail. See the Official Rules.
Who can enter?
Adults 18 or older who live in Virginia. Employees of Elevate Salon + Spa and their immediate families and households cannot enter.
When do entries close?
December 15, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Entries after that do not count.
When is the winner picked?
December 18, 2026. One winner is picked at random from all eligible entries and contacted by phone and email. If we cannot reach the winner within 7 days, another entrant is picked.
What does the winner get?
Our $1,000 Transformation package, done start to finish by our team, starting with a consultation.
Does the winner pay anything?
The package itself costs you nothing. Anything you add to it is at your own cost, and you see that price in writing at your consultation before anything is booked. Any taxes on the prize are yours, as the Official Rules explain.
Will extensions or color damage my hair?
That is the question we hear most, and it is the right one to ask. Every plan starts with a consultation. We look at your hair history and what your hair can take before we decide what it gets. If your hair needs care first, we tell you, and the plan changes to fit.
How long do the results last, and what is the upkeep?
It depends on your hair and your transformation. At your consultation your stylist explains the upkeep and the follow-up schedule, so you know before you start.
Can I get more entries by inviting friends?
Yes. After you enter, your confirmation page gives you your own link. Each different person who enters with it adds 1 bonus entry for you, up to 10. It is never required, and posting, sharing or tagging on social media earns nothing by itself.
Do I have to follow, share or tag anyone?
No. Following, sharing and tagging are never required and earn nothing. You enter with the form alone.
Can I get a bonus entry by commenting?
Yes. After you enter with the form, post a genuine answer to the question on our contest post in the comments ("What's the one thing you'd change about your hair?"). That earns 1 bonus entry, once per person. Following, sharing or tagging is never required and earns nothing.
Can I give the prize to someone else, or take the cash?
The prize has no cash value. It can be transferred once, whole, to one named person, and we record that at the salon before anything is booked. It cannot be split.
What happens if I do not win?
You will hear from us once with a thank-you offer that is good until the date printed on it. That is it. No stream of emails.
