The Elite Story
When a Las Vegas hairstylist with a flair for elegance crosses paths with a down-to-earth chef from Southeast Texas, you might not expect a beauty empire to be the end result. But that's precisely what happened when Cliff and Valerie Frazee teamed up with Jennifer Pritchett, the original mastermind behind Elite Beauty Solutions. In March of 2023, the Frazees took the reins of this burgeoning enterprise, with a commitment to elevate the salon experience through premium products and unparalleled education.
Jennifer Pritchett, a seasoned sales consultant turned industry innovator, founded Elite Beauty Solutions with a singular vision: to offer salon professionals hands-on service and quality products that stand out in a crowded marketplace. Her friendship and professional kinship with Valerie blossomed into a partnership, built on shared values and a deep-rooted passion for the beauty industry.
Valerie Frazee is not just any hairstylist; she's an industry educator and salon owner with over two decades of experience. Her credentials include educational roles with renowned brands like L’ANZA Healing Haircare, Kevin Murphy, and REF. Currently an educator with Coastline, Valerie is also a certified curly hair specialist who has made waves in Austin's hair styling scene. For her, quality is non-negotiable, which is why every product line carried by Elite Beauty Solutions is also featured and used in her own salon.
Cliff Frazee, on the other hand, brings an entirely different set of skills to the table. With a background as an executive chef in retirement communities and prior roles in home healthcare and medical supplies, Cliff found an unexpected but fulfilling second career in the beauty sector. Though he continues to indulge his culinary talents through private gigs, his newfound passion for the hair industry has turned him into an enthusiastic advocate and supporter.
When Jennifer sought a change, she knew that Cliff and Valerie were the perfect duo to carry on the mission of Elite Beauty Solutions. Under their leadership, the company has thrived, extending its commitment to diligent customer service and in-depth educational resources for salon professionals. The synergy between Cliff and Valerie's diverse backgrounds and Jennifer's original vision ensures that Elite Beauty Solutions is not just another beauty distributor, but a holistic partner for salon professionals striving for excellence.
