I went here for a couple of years. While my stylist was technically competent and did a good job,…read moreshe had a terrible attitude. When it got to the point that I began dreading my appointments because I never knew what kind of mood she'd be in or what she'd be complaining about - her health, family, roommates - I realized it was time to make a change. I did share my concerns with the owner of the salon, who said she'd speak with Ariel "again." Positives: clean salon, lovely and fun receptionist, and competent stylists. Negatives: read my review.

She's the best. Now that we've moved to the "Natures Coast", I make special trips up to see the best hairdresser I've ever had. She listens to what I think I want and I always leave happy. She once saved me from drastically cutting off 22" when I was upset! She gave me a great cut, listened to me whine and cry, took off only 6", and gave me a style that I loved. Robyn is the best at what she does and is very accomodating to work with your needs and schedule, going in early and staying late if needed. She goes out of her way to please her clients and makes each one of us feel special.

Like many people, I'm very particular about my hair. I have had a few people do my hair and while…read morethey have been satisfactory, Courtney is simply amazing. I was skeptical of someone who says they can "do it all" but she genuinely can. I've come to her for natural styles (which she is so creative that it's unbelievable) silk presses, and full and natural leave out sew-ins. I've had her do feeder braids too. Courtney is professional, available to make an appointment the week of, and her prices are affordable. She uses professional products that have helped my hair retain moisture when it's otherwise very dry. Including Courtney, there are two stylists here and Novice does good work too. The shop is located right next to dolce vita. So if you have to wait (which I will say is sometimes the case) you can go grab a dessert.

Pro tip always book an appointment. If you've ever been to a barbershop that's worth anything then…read moreyou know that they are always busy and elite is no different. All of their barbers are top notch and I have been getting my haircut there for about 2 years. Some of the barbers are more reliable than others, but that's per barber not the shops fault. If you give them a call at the shop there is always someone willing to help. I give them four stars because other than a couch with a tv in front of it there isn't really anything to do if you have to wait there for your appointment or if you have kids with you. But the cuts and service are always amazing.
