Top-Tier Haircuts at Denver's Premier Luxury Salon

About Us

Our Story: Passion for Precision

Sara Geist has over 10 years of experience in the hair industry. She started out working in traditional salons, but transitioned to opening her own salon suite in 2020 due to the changes brought on by the pandemic. Sara has a unique approach to running her salon. Rather than focusing on trends or high-end brands, her priority is providing a personalized, relaxing experience for each client. 

She takes the time to really listen to her clients’ needs and preferences, in order to craft custom haircuts, colors, and treatments that suit their individual lifestyles. Sustainability is also a core value for Sara and her salon. She uses eco-friendly Davines and Comfort Zone products, which are focused on sustainability and regenerative agriculture. The salon also participates in the Green Circle recycling program to minimize salon waste. 

Sara sees this commitment to the environment as crucial, as the salon industry is one of the top polluters. Overall, Sara’s goal is to create an inviting, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and cared for. She is not interested in being the face of the brand, preferring to keep the focus on the salon itself as its own entity. Sara’s passion for providing personalized, sustainable haircare services makes her salon a unique and welcoming destination for Lakewood residents.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Read genuine reviews from our satisfied clients and see why Growth and Grit is the salon of choice.
I’m a loyal and happy customer. Sara is talented and also very very good at getting to know her clients styles/needs/preferences and explaining the pros and cons of different cut and coloring choices. She is straightforward and never pushes a hard sell. It’s clear that she wants her customers to be happy and comfortable above all else!

Sara is a hair genius. She helps me achieve my hair vision while also keeping me grounded in what will look best or work best with my lifestyle and hair type. She is incredible at adding dimension with color, especially with my naturally dirty blonde hair. I trust her implicitly and have referred all of my friends to her. She is the real deal, I would follow her anywhere!
Katie Anastasi
Had the pleasure of meeting Sara for the first time (she came recommended by a close friend) and I was not disappointed. She takes great pride in her craft and is so knowledgeable about what works best for different hair types. I really appreciated her taking the time to get to know me, my hair and the style I was going for. Will be back and highly recommend! Thanks Sara!
