I’m Lindsay Karella, and it’s an honor to bring this refined, modern salon to the heart of a community that means so much to me. Growing up in Elkhorn, I’ve always been inspired by the charm of our local businesses—and now, I’m thrilled to add Raeva Mane Street Oasis to that legacy.

The name RAEVA is a meaningful blend of my daughters’ names, Rae and Ava, while the floral element in our branding reflects my son’s birth month—ensuring every part of this dream feels deeply personal. With the unwavering support of my husband, Jon, this vision has come to life as a place where both stylists and guests can flourish.

For over 14 years, I’ve dedicated myself to perfecting my craft behind the chair, with experience in some of the area’s most respected salons. After COVID, I embraced the independence of a private suite to balance motherhood and my career, but I found myself longing for the vibrant energy, connection, and creativity of a collaborative salon environment.

Raeva Mane Street Oasis was born from that desire—a thoughtfully designed space where artistry meets community, and every detail is curated to inspire.
