Who is RAEVA

I’m Lindsay Karella, founder and owner of RAEVA Mane Street Oasis, a modern, boutique salon created to elevate both the stylist and guest experience.

Rooted in my hometown of Elkhorn, Raeva was built on connection, creativity, and purpose. The name blends my daughters’ names, Rae and Ava, while the floral details honor my son — a reflection of the family and intention behind every part of this vision.

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve worked alongside some of the area’s top salons and learned that true beauty thrives in collaboration. Raeva was born from that belief — a space where artistry and community come together, and both guests and stylists are empowered to flourish.
