Josie knows hair better than others I've gone to. She listens to what I want, checks my hair and does a great job every time.

Got a haircut/trim from Gerhy and he was just a fricken gem. He accomplished exactly what I was looking for, I felt comfortable with him the entire time, and he's fun to chat with. Right around the corner from me too! Woo! read more

I just got my hair cut and I literally cried in the car on the way back to work. I asked for a trim and long layers. He said he'd do that and "clean up the bangs." Great. He gave me a trim, didn't cut layers more than the bottom inch of my hair, which is totally pointless if you ask me, but what he did to my bangs... I get in the car and look in the rearview mirror and they are so short, but while most of the bangs touch the top of my eyebrows, there is about an inch and a half section in the very middle of my face that is a solid half an inch shorter than the rest of the bangs and don't even touch my eyebrows, making the terrible cut even more obvious. I'm going to have to go side swept until this grows out. How could he not see what he did to me??? read more

Misha was AMAZING! Very professional, friendly and did a fantastic job with my hair! I couldn't be happier! read more

Finally! I found a real manicurist who sincerely cares about the job she's doing! Justine is just a gem and I am so glad that I acted on a whim and took a chance on a new place. I am delighted with my pedi - I got the gel pedi which Justine said will probably last a month. She spent over an hour on my pedi and she was meticulous in her work, checking and re-checking my rough heels and cuticles before moving on to the next step. I have felt so rushed in other local shops - like they have forgotten that this is a pampering treatment and not a chore to get through as quickly as possible. English clearly is Justine's first language, and her communication skills and sweet demeanor are truly appreciated! She gets it, you know? This is meant to be relaxing, and it was. I LOVE my glittery pedicure and will return for sure! read more

Honestly the most beautiful cut and color I have ever gotten, especially at such a reasonable price and Kaylee is absolutely the sweetest person ever.

Got a Brazilian Blowout by Gehry, the owner, and he did an awesome job! My hair is a frizzy mess after being on high dose steroids for months and he managed to make it manageable and low maintenance. Very grateful for that. He was really nice as well. I also liked the atmosphere of the salon, definitely will return again. read more

I had my hair completely messed up. Went in to have layers evened out and left with a mullet. Coupled with hair loss it's been devastating. It's been months and it's still horrible. It's finally long enough to get evened out but I'm terrified to even have someone try to fix it. Years if growth and she mulleted six inches off before I could say anything. I've had no choice but to live with it. read more

PHOENIX is the master. I am at a loss for words because I can't even use words to describe her awesomeness. Don't go to her. It's already hard enough to get an appointment-she's really high in demand. UPDATE: Went to Phoenix again today. She rocked it! Nobody has ever cut my hair this way and I love it. She gave me a cut that goes with my hair type and is a delight to be around. I am finding out that she cuts a lot of my friends' hair, too. If you see a hip Eurekan with a great hair cut, chances are, that's Phoenix's work. read more

I went to Elkes to check out their hair products, but when I walked in not one of their employees were wearing a mask. I was very disappointed and refuse to do business with a company that doesn't require that their employees wear masks during a pandemic. Do you not care about your employees or customers? I will not be returning to Elkes! read more

Melissa is awesome. I've always had prompt service, never had to wait. Sure, the girls at the front are sometimes distracted and it's not the most modern and fashionable place, but don't tell me that you wouldn't like to save some money and have great nails, eyebrows or hair. read more

Elle's Total Image is AMAZING!!! I got the tips of my hair died with Jessica and she did a great job! I am very happy with my experience here, and I will definitely come back soon! read more

Curly girls beware....Your hair will end out looking like a poodle with a bad haircut. The stylist left me with the dreaded drop off shelf across the back of my hair. It took two more visits to another stylist to gradually fix the issue. A total loss of ten inches of hair. All I can say is that I am glad that my hair grows moderately fast. read more

My 15yr old daughter went for highlights yesterday. The person scheduled to do her hair handed her off to Maria, who cut 3inches off her hair, when she told her she didn't need it cut. Couldn't even see the highlights, told my daughter she did as good as she could for what she had to work with Then charged her 120 when was told 65 from the person schedule to do it. When I spoke with the manager, he claims they are private agents and couldn't do anything about it. He is a weak manager, let's his people do as they want, doesn't stand by the work. if they mess up he needs to make it right. I first went in nice, but didn't end up that way. Will never be back there again. DO NOT HAVE MARIA WORK ON YOUR HAIR OR SEND YOU TEENS THERE ON THEIR OWN! read more

Great Gatspy themed wedding! Liviin on the coast, if I curl my hair, it lasts only 2 hours! Devyn colored and styled my hair! I loved it and her! She gave me tips on how to keep it from falling and what products to use!! My curls lasted all night! Completely in love with the the 2 colors of highlights she chose! Thank you! I love my hair! She also did my nails! Went to wedding then vacation the next week. My French tip mani- peddi lasted the whole time! Went on a glass bottom boat. My husband saw four others with the same style on our toes. Mine looked the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! read more

I'll defintley be coming back here to have my eyebrows done for sure, but I'll probably be going somewhere else to get my hair done....don't get me wrong, the girls did an AMAZING job on both my eyebrows and hair (I'm new to the Humboldt area and it's been scary looking for a new salon)... BUT with that said , the reason why I'm only staying to get my eyebrows done here and hair elsewhere is because the girl who mainly does the reception mis-quoted me both times I've gotten my eyebrows and hair done together (trip # two she qouted me $75 for both and it wound up being $90 & when I came up to pay, she booked it to the back because she'd overheard the price difference) I'll still come here to get my eyebrows done for sure, but hair wise I'll probably be going somewhere else :( read more

Not helpful. I waited in line for quite a while as the lady at this desk chatted with some friend of hers. Finally when it was my turn in line, the lady made eye contact with me then turned around and started chatting with other co workers, completely ignoring me. Also, the tanning is overpriced for what you get and you have to wipe down the bed yourself before using it - gross. read more

Love this salon! I never leave disappointed. Many excellent stylists here and they are all so sweet. I love how there are tanning beds as well and high end products in the front for purchase. Delaney who works at the front desk is so sweet and helpful. What an excellent place to be pampered and surrounded by positive energy read more

Pros: Got in right away. Devon was very pleasant. Cons: Paid WAY too much for the worst haircut of my life. Both sides are too short and each side is different length, (vary by at least 1/2 inch). Both sides are choppy and blunt, though I wear a textured cut. Though it's been over 2 weeks, I still have an unbelievable cowlick. The back is longer than the rest and full, i.e, no taper toward neck even though the sides are short and above my ears. Bangs look like Julie Andrews in Sound of Music. I have been and will continue to be wearing a scarf/turban to cover this outrageous atrocity of a hair cut for several more weeks. Moral: Be VERY careful if you book an appointment here with Devon. read more

Andrea is so rad. She just did an amazing A line for me and I feel great. Thanks babe!

I needed a change and my daughters recommended Elkes Total Image. I called not knowing what any one stylist could do and simply told the receptionist that I needed someone who loves short cuts and layers. I was given an appointment with Gary and he wow'd me. He interpreted my hair exactly as I imagined it. I'm so happy with the result. Thanks so much! I will be back. read more

Went in to get my hair cut yesterday but my usual stylist was out of commission due to an injury. I asked for the next best person and I ended up with a wonderful stylist whom I would highly recommend to anyone. Her name is Andrea and she is top notch, very friendly and really cares about the work she's doing. I enjoyed talking with her too. She's got a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I've been coming to Elkes since I was a kid, all the staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you Elkes. read more

I've needed last minute nail appts twice in the last six months or so, and Elke's has been able to accommodate both times! Both Justine and the blonde girl that works next to her (cannot remember her name!!) are amazing! They are both very talented and pay attention to what they're doing while being super friendly and engaging in conversation! My nails were perfect after both appts, and lasted for around THREE WEEKS; a record for my nails. Justine also recommended several hair products and I bought all three products she recommended and told me I could return them if I didn't like them. I could not be happier with all three and have continued to purchase them. Keep doing what you're doing girls!! read more

I moved here about a year ago and could not find anyone! I tried a local place at the Bay Shore Mall...... Horrible experience !!!! Fortunately I am Blessed and met a Wonderful person (Lori ) who hooked me up With Elke's. I met with Terri and don't know what I would do without her. She has color weaved my hair twice now and the Damage the other salon did is all but Gone.. Coloring hair is a Art and she has it not many do I found out the hard Way!!!!! The prices are fair wouldn't go any where else.. Thanks read more

Elke's Total Image is awesome! The people there are very nice and polite and i got the best haircut ive ever had from ED.

I made an appointment for later in the afternoon. They called me 45 before my appointment and cancelled. And it wasn't even for a good reason. Scheduling error. Train your receptionist to schedule correctly! Very Unprofessional!! I won't be returning. read more

Trust me, go somewhere else. Very disappointing experience. Gary was very rude and unprofessional. In fact, he went out of his way to insult me to my face. Gary is an absolute disgrace to the staff and the person who created the salon, which is his own mother. I guess that's why he feels like he can be as rude, insulting and unprofessional as he feels like being. I wish there was a negative star rating. This place would qualify. read more

Love elkes. I used to get my hair done by Andrea before I moved!

I get my eyebrows waxed here by Jessica. She's very friendly and accommodating with my schedule and my demands on how I want my brows.

This is not a salon, more like an old-fashioned beauty parlor. AND do not get me started on the girl who thinks she knows how to do manicures. DO NOT go here. read more

I absolutely love the products but I would have had a much better experience buying online being cheaper and less of a hassle compared to total image service..I ordered a tube of dye and came back to the store twice to see why I wasn't getting a call my order was in and why its taking so long for my order to come since I was in town and they hadn't even ordered it yet, twice! Turns out i wasnt even supposed to be charged until it was received and they gave me attitude and I lost my receipt so I haven't gotten a refund. Lesson learned they don't care about their customers. read more

I have been going to Elke's for over 25 years. Elke was who once did my hair. She was a sweet lady but I was never happy with my cut. I started seeing her son Gerhy. He has been doing my hair for years now. He knows what looks good and he knows how to please. I am always greated with a smile and I always leave with a smile. read more

So 3 days ago my mom scheduled my little sister a hair appointment at Elkes in eureka with a lady named Bobbie Jo for 3:45pm today. At 11:30 my mom gets a call from this lady who is supposed to be doing my sisters hair and she pretty much tells my mom 'I'm calling to cancel because that's cutting into my dinner time and I'm old fashioned and don't like the ombré look so I'm gonna see if one of the other girls will do it' and my mom asks 'are you telling me you just don't want to do it? And she tells my mom 'yeah I am, lets be real. I'll call you back if someone else can do it' so 20 mins go by and no call back so my mom calls and asks to talk to her and the receptionist tells my mom 'she said she's busy and isn't dealing with you right now, so she'll call you back' and HANGS UP on my mom. So Bobbie Jo calls back and says 'is this blah blahs mom?' My mom said 'yes' and she tells my mom 'so since you wanna call and go off on my receptionist we won't be doing anything for you and we no longer want you as a customer here' and again HANGS UP on my mom. So my mom calls back numerous times asking to speak with the owner and they kept answering laughing and hanging up on her. We've been going to Elkes for our hair for 10 years. I am shocked at how they acted today. They definitely lost all of us as customers. read more

I have gone here twice and had to wait an excessive amount of time each time even though I had an appointment. This time I had a 2:30 appointment, showed up on time and was asked to come back in 30 minutes due to a mix-up. I came back at 3:00 and was told it would be just a few minutes. At 3:20 I asked the receptionist how much longer it would be and she said she did not know so I walked out. I will not be going back here again. read more

I made an appt for one person and was very happy to know she had a history of being a nail tech not only was my appt change to a different nail tech without any notification.. I was put put with a very inexperienced nail tech who did the worst job ever and complained about how i wanted my nails done then Proceed to offer me to get anther appt. multiple times with someone else. Has the most childish attitude towards me knowing i was unhappy with her service. I will not be referring this salon to anyone at all. read more

I asked for a LONG cute choppy scene haircut..instead the lady cut THREE AND A HALF INCHES off!!! AND it looked like a bowl cut!!! I was mortified!! I went home and cried for 2 hours in my bathroom! No joke I look terrible now thanks to this lady. PLus i had my first day of 10th grade the next day (today) and it was terrible..the looks i got..I will NEVER go back there again and I will NEVER reccomend this place to even my worst enemy. Terrible terrible service and the lady was RUDE! after i saw how short it was i gasped and she said "Would u rather have long stringy hair or a nice short haircut?"....rude or what? My hair was LONG and BEAUTIFUL!! not just long and stringy...I sincerely regret letting that lady butcher my hair to peices ...and Im not one to be picky..honestly im a chill person but what this lady did..was ruin my hair for at least a year..My reccomendation? Stay far far away from this! read more

Ew Ew Ew No NO NO!!!! Don't go here. This place was everything I fear in a salon. All the ladies that work there are old and trashy looking. The girl that did my hair, Carmen, was so unprofessional. When i got there, she walked me to the chair and then didn't tell me to sit or anything but started talking to another overly-processed hag for like 10 min before returning to me! As for my hair: my color turned out well but I only asked for one all-over color so its pretty hard to screw that up, but the cut was just terrible. She did choppy layers all over which I did not ask for. I asked her to just trim the ends and clean up any splits ends; not to give me a completely different cut. Choppy layers was popular like 10 years ago which brings me full circle back to my original statement "these ladies are out-dated and unaware of current fashions." While i was sitting under the dryer she left the salon to go get prescription drugs that her friend who works at a doctors office called in for her.....and she has a couple of flasks at her station for when her clients need a shot.....? What the hell?!!?!?! Big, huge, colossal mistake on my part. Never going back. There is a girl in redding who is less expensive and so amazing and works out of a beautiful salon who I will drive three hours to see from now on and forever. I should never have strayed. read more
