I have very curly hair and it can be a challenge to get a good cut. Today, I got my first cut from Claude and it is amazing. He is a true artist whose medium is hair. Claude recently cut & colored my granddaughter's hair. It turned out so beautifully that I knew I had to get Claude to give me a cut. I'm so glad I did. Best cut ever! Thank you, Claude. (Also, everyone at the salon was quite friendly and welcoming.) read more

RAY Kight should not be doing hair. Firstly, he tried to use a brush full of another clients hair on me. When I said I couldn't use that he asked me if I brought my own brush. What? There is a drawer full of brushes and combs woth over flowing amounts of hair. The combs had a white build up from over use and never being disinfected. He took the hair out n rinsed the brush in water then handed it to me. There is no disinfectant anywhere. He also suffered from tremors and burned my scalp several times with the blow dryer. He also didn't use a soft round brush to blow my hair out. He just moved it all over my head which made it HUGE and frizzy. I don't believe he has the ability to execute fine details because of some hand dexterity disabilities. I wanted a balayage but he doesn't know how to do that. So I asked for a root touch up. I told him I have 1" of virgin hair grow out at the root,plus 8-10" of brown box dye, then my regular blonde. My hair is naturally curly and course. When it's not blown out and straightened it feels dry...but it isn't brittle. It is similar to ethnic hair...It also goes down to my rear. He had to ask another stylist what to do. And how to apply the proper toner and color. He wanted to put it on my hair dry after bleach and send me home with it in. He put foils in without properly isolating and now I have bleed through into the hair that was underneath the foils. Then he improperly placed the hair into the foil and took hair that wasn't being bleached and the end and folded it into the foil with bleach. Tiger stripes anyone? I have a hot white root and then bands from where the box dye was. I told him to use 30 volume on the box color and to use 10 or 20 on the root the last 10 minutes and the pull it all through with the foil when taking them out. He left the bleach on 15 minutes... Welp, he used 20v on all of it and now my hair is ruined. His comment "it looks even to me" and "go home and blow dry it then let me know how it is. I think it'll be what you want" I immediately told him it was NOT right and he said "well, I'm not sure how to fix it" and then hands me his card reader and charges me $175. For some horrible mess and a 1-2" trim off just the bottom...NOT a haircut. I got home and sent pics of the mess. I called him and he said "you have a lot going on with your hair. You shouldn't have done it. The only solution I have is You need a good haircut and you should just dye it brown. You look better as a brunette in my opinion" um? You're right I shouldn't have come to you and trusted you. You told me you knew what you were doing! The bleed through alone is IRRESPONSIBLE and lazy. I didn't pay you to make me a brunette! I told him now I have to pay someone for a color correction..."You're not getting your money back! I offered you my solution" This guy is 76 years old, has tremors and it is obvious he cannot control the color process because of this. Banging around an applicator brush with bleach on it all over someone's head and then crunching up foils instead of properly folding them results in nightmares for clients. Then not having the skill to correct your mistake? He had no idea what olaplex was either. So, now it's going to cost me at least $400 to fix my hair. Ps-it doesn't need to be cut off 1. 2. Numerous stylists advised against dying it all brown. You go in with low lights and high lights in different volumes of bleach to fix the spotty areas and correct the banding. Melt color onto the root to fix the bright white and use the appropriate toner so that it matches my ends. I've been using box dye on my grey for 10 years. 3 other stylists had no problem just doing a root touch up on my balayage. I'm not the first person to walk in with brown box dye on their roots and blonde ends dude. Please Retire. read more

Elektra Hair Design is my favorite hair studio in Houston. I have been a client of Elektra for over five years and love what this salon has done for my hair over the years. I first discovered Elektra Hair Design when I needed a color correction in late 2009. Roy, the owner and my stylist, transformed my hair and made it look good as gold. Since then, I have changed my hair several times at Elektra (specifically, color from blonde to brunette to dirty blonde and style from longer to shorter to longer again) and always love how my hair looks when I leave. Furthermore, Elektra makes the hair salon experience personalized. Each stylist helps you pick a style that works for you and ensures that you are happy with the results. My friends and family consistently compliment me as well - as a blonde, they say my hair color looks sunkissed with a fun, natural flair. I recommend Elektra to clients who are looking for a creative salon with professional stylists that charge a fair price and are located in a great location. read more

My mom has been coming to Roy for over 15 years. She wouldn't let anyone else touch her hair. When you come here, know that there are two entrances. One that's closer to the main Street, Augusta, and the other closer to the back of the building. The studio is very clean and well lit. Smells nice here also. read more

Elektra was absolutely amazing! I was able to get in quickly this afternoon for a cut correction from a different place this morning. The salon was very clean and the staff were professional. Roy did an excellent job with my cut! I am so pleased. He really took the time and effort to understand what I wanted and paid a great amount of detail to me during my appointment. Moral of the story is that I should have just come here first! I will definitely be back and would recommend this salon to anyone needing a fresh cut and look. read more

Roy- humble owner He is great! Simon helped it and was awesome as well. Good hair studio Recommend ! read more

Thanks to yelp my daughter and i found Elektra. We traveled from northern Montana to take a cancer patient to MD Anderson. Roy was able to fit both of us in on very short notice. But the best part was his kindness and his wondetful skill at knowing just the perfect color, cut and style. So just to make sure it wasn't a one time lucky event, I gave Roy another try. I am so very happy with the highlights, cut and style! I wish plane tickets weren't so ecpensive as Roy and his team would have me as regular customer. Please give Roy and his team a try. You won't be sorry. Priscilla read more

I stopped in to Elektra just as a walk-in, and never have I experienced a hair or beauty salon to be so incredibly welcoming and accommodating. I'm from out of town and was needing a desperate 'trim', and with a bit of time thought I would stop in and ask as I was in the area for some business. Roy was an absolute pleasure to deal with, friendly and understanding, as with all the other staff I dealt with during my visit. As soon as I walked in the atmosphere was lively and it honestly brightened up my day! Hands down the best haircut I have had since I can remember (and I'm usually very critical about my haircuts!). Thanks so much Roy! If I find myself back in town, I'll be sure to stop in again! read more

My hair dresser Alex Dahl is positively amazing! I can go in not having the first idea of what I want, and he'll offer suggestions that result in gorgeous hair. He simply looks and tells me what needs to be done, gives me ideas, and then does what he does best. He's very professional, friendly, and funny. For all the work he's done, my hair never looks over-processed, dry, or brittle, instead it looks more healthy than it did even before I started seeing him. I love sitting in his chair, and take every opportunity I can to do so! read more
