By Holly Osborn| Owner of Eleven Salon and Hush Infrared Sauna

At the intersection of beauty, wellness, and heartfelt purpose lies Hush Infrared Sauna & Retreat Room, a new extension of Greeley’s beloved Eleven Salon. Founded and led by Holly Osborn, this venture represents more than just personal care — it's a sanctuary born from love, resilience, and a deep commitment to helping others heal.

In this article, you’ll learn:

• How Holly built a thriving salon and what inspired her new wellness journey

• What makes Hush Infrared Sauna unique in Northern Colorado

• The science-backed benefits of infrared therapy

• Why holistic health matters more now than ever

The Evolution of a Dream

Holly’s story is one of courage, creativity, and community. After attending Aims Community College and CSU to study interior design and psychology, she pivoted to cosmetology and earned her license from Heritage College of Beauty. Over the years, Holly built a family, cultivated a loyal client base, and developed a reputation for running a salon that was not only beautiful and clean, but also drama-free and emotionally grounded.

She opened Eleven Salon in 20Eleven with a simple goal: 

✔ Offer a calm, high-end, and inclusive environment 

✔ Carry quality hair and skincare products 

✔ Surround herself with passionate and kindhearted professionals

Today, Eleven Salon includes eight talented hairstylists, an esthetician, a nail technician, and now, a deeply personal and purposeful addition — the Hush Infrared Sauna & Retreat Room.

Why Hush? Healing Through Loss and Light

After the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Holly found herself searching for a new path. Friends and team members introduced her to the healing power of infrared sauna therapy — a discovery that resonated not just physically, but emotionally.

💡 What began as curiosity turned into clarity. The research revealed that infrared therapy could help not just her — but many others — feel better, inside and out.

Thus, Hush Infrared Sauna was born.

What Makes Hush Infrared Sauna, in Greeley Different?

While other spas and studios may offer infrared treatments, Hush is truly one of a kind in Northern Colorado. Here's why:

1. Full-Spectrum Infrared Therapy

Unlike standard saunas, Hush uses a Sunlighten™ infrared sauna equipped with all three wavelengths:

• Near Infrared (NIR): Boosts cell regeneration and skin rejuvenation

• Mid Infrared (MIR): Helps with pain relief and improved circulation

• Far Infrared (FIR): Supports detoxification and deep relaxation

Having all three allows clients to experience a comprehensive therapeutic session, tailored to their unique health needs.

2. Built-In Chromotherapy (Color Light Therapy)

Each session includes chromotherapy, which uses the psychological and physiological effects of different colors to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and promote inner balance.

For example:

• Blue = calming and cooling

• Red = energizing and circulation-boosting

• Green = harmonizing and healing

This adds another dimension to each session — blending ancient healing wisdom with modern science.

3. Sound Therapy

Ambient tones and therapeutic vibrations elevate the sauna experience from functional to transformative. Whether you're unwinding after a long day or tackling chronic inflammation, the mind-body benefits of sound therapy are undeniable.

Benefits of Infrared Sauna Therapy

Here’s what you can expect from consistent sessions at Hush:

✅ Anti-Aging & Skin Health: Infrared light stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone. 

✅ Pain Relief: Reduces muscle tension, joint stiffness, and chronic pain symptoms. 

✅ Detoxification: Helps flush toxins through sweat at a deeper cellular level than traditional saunas. 

✅ Weight Management: Infrared heat increases heart rate and metabolism, mimicking the effects of a light cardio workout. 

✅ Cardiovascular Health: Promotes better circulation, reduced blood pressure, and overall heart wellness. 

✅ Mental Clarity & Stress Relief: Regular use supports serotonin release and lowers cortisol levels, helping you feel balanced and calm.
