I moved to Tulsa over a year ago and have been searching for a new stylist spouse. I tried one about three times when I got here, but it just didn't work out. I chose Nicole based on her stylist description on the website. She's experienced and an artist in life more than just hair, so I felt she would be able to take control when I told her what I wanted. I'm open for a conversation to get to what's realistic based on upkeep, home styling, and my hair type. I rely on hair stylists expertise and many do not seem comfortable taking the reins on it, even though they should, IMO, since they are the professional. She delivered and then some. She is very knowledgeable. She explains things in a way that you can tell she just knows her stuff and she wants to make sure you understand where you two are going. She puts importance in giving you what you want, but also explaining how it will work based on how much time you want to spend on your hair and upkeep. Since this was our first meeting, I only did haircut (which is more important than color and requires an artful eye to shape, personality, etc), but we discussed color and she's on it. She knows her stuff and I feel super comfortable letting her work on me next time. I've had the privilege of having some really talented stylists coming from California. This salon has at least one talented lady here that I can speak of and they are very lucky to have her! read more

Normally, I keep my hair blond. My mom is sick w/ alzheimers, when I was born, I had auburn hair. She is a red head, when my hair fell out and grew back in, it was blond. I colored it red, I wanted mom to see me with red hair again (she was very sick and we thought she was about to pass). This was my first professional hair color/ color correction appointment in 6 yrs. The color correction went very well. I was so excited because after just one round of bleach Haliey was able to get me to nearly platinum. However, she didn't touch my roots, which were about 2" At the start of it all, I showed her two pictures, (either would have been ok), one a golden blond and the other a neutral blond. Because of constraints for Haliey, my color correction/ dye took two days, each about 2hrs long/ 2days in a row.After day 1, color correction, I was over the moon thrilled with the level of blond she was able to achieve in just one session. Then she put in a heavy conditioner that I left in over night until the following day. Day 2 we picked a blond, and a low light, brown color. I kept saying to her "more blond than brown", over and over. After she rinsed/washed my hair, I was horrified to see it was a dark brown, with a tiny bit of blond highlights. The day after I called the salon to let them know, this wasn't what I wanted. I was booked for a week later. Haliey and I talked about my hair, I told her this isn't what I wanted, nor was it anything like the pictures I had shown her.I wanted blond with a small amount of brown low lights. We began to argue. She said " I told you this was a process and it would take more than one appt". (BTW, she said root touch up and a trim every 4-6 weeks would be 160.00) I told her, my hair was more than half way there after the first day/color correction! I didn't want a full head of brown w a tiny bit of blond highlights.Then she said to me,multiple times, I was being rude/disrespectful, because I was standing up for what I wanted. I said no, I'm not cussing, or yelling, I am advocating for what I want. Finally it was agreed upon she would do a clarifiyin clarifying shampoo.It smelled like ammonia, the fumes burned my eyes. She applied it with a hair dye paint like brush and said that she didn't get it on my roots because she didn't give me hot roots, I think it was a bleach wash. Yes, it reduced the brown. And yes, I walked out with reddish hair, just like I walked into the salon. I paid over $300.00 not including tip. I am so disappointed. I could have achieved this color at home for $40.00. read more

I visited this salon requesting an Aveda gray lowlight color treatment and a flattering cut. I left with a very crooked haircut, confirmed by the next stylist who cut my hair, and a color that turned brassy and orange within weeks. I had no way of knowing at the time despite the standard mirror check. I tipped 20% because I always tip and because I had no idea yet what had been done. When I called to address the color issue, the manager was immediately hostile. She later confirmed, without apparent awareness of what she was admitting, that the stylist, Christine, had applied Ash Brown Level 7, not the gray level 4 from the Aveda Demi+ line I'd requested and that Christine told me she would use. The manager even said she didn't know anything about color levels but confirmed that the gray Aveda line was sitting in plain site on their shelf. And Christine applied a completely different product than what I consented to. Had I known, I would have walked out, because I specifically told her not to put brown in my hair because it would turn brassy. I then contacted an Aveda school in Austin who confirmed the wrong products were used and offered to correct the damage themselves. I compiled documentation and research but the manager and the always unavailable owner of the salon refused to review any of it. The salon's offered remedy was to have the same stylist who had lied to me about the products she used, fix the damage she caused. I declined. No way. They considered this offer sufficient. I did not. I filed a dispute with American Express. Only then did the owner contact me, but to berate me. No accountability was taken despite Christine's own admission through the manager. Their refund policy was never disclosed at time of service either verbally or in writing, which they are required to do. They then used my 20% tip to twist things as evidence that I was satisfied. A word of advice: Do not tip your stylist until you are certain they did what they said they would do. I learned this the hard way. Make them show you the actual tubes of color they're mixing. Additionally, roughly two to three months ago the manager appeared in my Facebook feed. I had not contacted this business in well over a year. I found it deeply unsettling that she sought me out on social media long after the fact. Christine's name appears in multiple negative reviews for this business. There is a pattern here. Proceed with caution. read more

After a couple of years, I am still a fan of this salon! I have been traveling a lot for work lately and it has been particularly hard to find the time to pamper myself and my hair. Luckily, I was able to just walk-in on a Friday afternoon. Lori was very friendly and attentive when she asked what I needed: a trim, undercut, wash, and hair tinsels. The last one was a bit of a challenging request but I still have no complaints. She made sure the undercut length worked for me, trying different combs and letting me check before she continued. The shampoo is of course the best part of the entire process. Super relaxing! I asked her to be careful since I had just gotten a tattoo behind my ear. She was cautious to not hurt me and I appreciated the extra care. She also offered an arm massage that was AMAZING! The cherry almond conditioner they use smells heavenly too. I have very long hair so drying it takes forever. She was very patient and I did not feel rushed. We couldn't figure out the hair tinsel situation but that's okay, I should've had more helpful instructions. read more

Love the people at Raw Elements! They're friendly and unpretentious. Ben is awesome- it's not easy to find a stylist who knows how to color and cut course, Asian hair. read more

I've been a client at Raw Elements for over 5 years. Their expertise and professionalism is amazing! Brian, the owner, is a talented hair stylist who never disappoints! I get multiple services at Raw Elements including eyelash extensions, waxing, hair extensions, color and styling. I cannot recommend Raw Elements more highly if you are looking for a high quality hair salon in Tulsa! read more

Love this place! Best Aveda salon in Tulsa! Highly recommend asking for Rhett!

I have gone 2.5 years without a haircut , to donate to Locks of Love for cancer patients. My Yelp search located Raw Expressions to cut my hair. Staff was so friendly, and Hayli King did a great job with a new style after removing 14 inches of my hair. I will be returning here for my next cut, either in a month, or a couple of years down the road. read more

Piss Poor way to do business in my books read more

I loved the hair cut and style Rachel Davis did! My hair hasn't looked this good in a long time. She took plenty of time, I could tell she was a skilled stylist. She will now be my go to person for a hair cut. Give her a try. Highly recommend! read more

This place is amazing! They have all-natural Aveda products and excellent staff. I will not trust anyone with my hair except Hayden! The building is a little hard to find, park in the back, but once you find it it's so worth it! They always ask if I want tea, coffee, water or wine with my haircut and they make sure you are taken care of in the best ways. read more

Today was my first time at Raw Elements. I saw Christina for a cut. I LOVE the salon & I love my cut! My hair is fine, but very thick, a lot of it. I wanted a dramatic angle bob with texture & I got exactly that! The cut she gave me feels awesome today & I can tell it will grow out well. I will definitely be back to see Christina again. read more

BEWARE.. this is not an Aveda Salon, my stylist Christina not only talked poorly of her other clients that get extensions BUT also told me how her and her boyfriend SMOKE AND GROW WEED, AND 2 different stylist did a pretty terrible job on my hair. First Christina put an extension up so high you could see it!!! Second visit she colored my hair a different color and then proceeded to tell me she liked that shade on me..WHAT WHO DOES THAT! Their solution was to switch me with an "Aveda" trained stylist who to come find out NEVER went to the Aveda School in Dallas but was "trained" by someone who did. YEAH OK MAKES SENSE. To beat it all I went to get my hair extensions that Christina kept from my first visit, not by my request, and half were gone! So let me get this straight.. you all messed up my $800 hair visit, lied, talked about drugs and other clients to me, lied over the phone, and stole my extra extensions and Alice's response, the customer service lady who calls instead of the owner Brian cause that's how much they really care about their clients, I can't control what my stylist do on their own time (SO IT'S OK FOR HER TO TALK ABOUT HER DRUG USE TO CLIENTS) and we aren't responsible for your missing hair even though the stylist told me she would just keep them with her in case I wanted to use them next time. SO TERRIBLE. Throughout this whole thing the owner who works there everyday Brian, never apologized or called me. His response was to relay a message to me saying that he didn't color Cool Tone Blondes very well so they would have me try someone else.. like what you own a salon but can't do Cool Tones...... In the end I drove 16 hours home to an ACTUAL Aveda Salon I have always gone to and had them fix this TERRIBLE job. If I could rate this salon negative 100 I would. read more

Christina always takes care of me! Plus she is a hoot to hang with while my hair is being done! Just scheduled my husband to visit her as well! Everyone is always so friendly when I visit. Thank you for the best customer service! read more

Raw Elements Salon - Love my hair! A much needed reboot! Thank you Christina! - Hair Salons Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

The best part was the arm massage and the worst part was the haircut. I asked for a shoulder length haircut and showed a picture of a previous haircut I had gotten. I told her I wanted it to be able to go in a ponytail, but my ponytail looks terrible! I went with my mom and sister and they did not like their haircuts either. read more

First time here at raw elements and Lori was my hair stylist. She was amazing! I am always scared of getting my hair done. She sat with me and talked over everything before we started. I absolutely love how my hair turned out! She is a miracle worker! Such a lovely salon everyone I have met has be so nice and accommodating! Will definitely be back to see Lori! read more

This place has been really good to me. Haden is the man! I started coming here because another salon kept forgetting my appointments. Raw Elements was a big step up for me. As a guy that doesn't really have much of a clue about hair, or styling, Haden has kept me looking good while helping me develop some pride in my appearance. Thank you! read more

LOVE Lori Sue! She never disappoints from highlights, color, haircuts and even bridal hair she is fantastic!

I really liked my hair and my stylist personality wise was OK on my first (and last) visit but I totally felt like I was bait & switched. I've been going to Aveda Salons for years in the DFW area, in the nice parts of town but still paid $60 more for a cut / highlights in Tulsa at Raw Elements. When I made my appointment I was quoted $120 and when I got into the chair my stylist told me that it would be $215. I paid about $125 for the same thing in Dallas at a Tangerine Salon with a master stylist :-| my stylist ended up doing it for $185 but the sticker shock kind of ruined it for me. So, if $$ isn't an issue for you and you don't need to know how much its going to be, go for it! But, it really left a bad taste in my mouth and I'm going to find another salon. read more

Did a terrible job with my wife's hair. Will not be coming back. Hair all over the floors too, not a clean salon to say the least. No one was wearing masks except for one lady. Sloppy salon, terrible service. Spend your money elsewhere. Ilhoff is another Aveda salon I'd recommend! read more

I read a lot of reviews of a lot of midtown Tulsa salons before deciding to call Raw Elementas, and I am so glad I found Nicole. I have been a client of Nicole's at Raw Elements for over a year at this time, and I love everything about this salon-the people, the services, the products, the price, the ambience. Parking is in the back, where you will enter a stylish, industrial-look salon and will be greeted warmly and offered a beverage. Since I schedule my appointments regularly now, I am not sure about how available walk-in services are at this time, but when you come, be ready to meet a professional stylist who will listen to you and work with you to give you the look you will love! Nicole has been wonderful for me, and I am her lifelong client/fan/friend. Raw Elements is full of talented, professional and friendly artists who want you to feel and look your best.

Been going here for years. Great products(Aveda) and friendly staff. Can even get a glass of wine! Scalp massage is standard, etc etc etc.

Let me just say, I love this place. I came into town to visit for a short visit and decided it was time to get my hair did. I went to school with Nicole when we were little and she's always loved hair. She did not disappoint. I let her do what she wanted with a cut and color. Did the cut one day and came back the next day- other appointments which I'm totally fine with. I had A LOT of fine hair so it took a bit. Love love love the whole salon and my hair!! I'll be back in a few months! read more

Way overpriced for a subpar job. Went in to get my hair lightened and cut. Mind you my hair was already fairly light when I went into the salon, I figured it wouldn't be too difficult to bring the blonde up my hair some more and tone it. Was quoted over 300 dollars by Christina, and was told if I needed a cheaper option she could just do part of my hair? It didn't really make any sense to me. I figured there wasn't anyone else available to do my hair at the moment which is why they sent ME the "senior stylist" so I decided to give her a chance. I left with my hair fried and barely looking anything like the picture I showed her. Sat around essentially all day while two, maybe three other people were tended to by her and I was left sitting with bleach for what seemed like ever. I could have went and got what she did done for a third of the price, seems like she takes and runs with the whole "I've been a stylist for 20 years so I charge what I want" thing to wring people out of their money. I've had a great experience here with other stylists before but because of this I will not be back. read more

Fantastic find! I moved to Tulsa two years ago and have had 5 different stylists highlight my hair. I was never happy with how they did it or if I was happy, it was $200 without tip! I was referred to this salon recently and I'm so glad I tried it. Kelly did an amazing job on my hair. It's exactly what I wanted and it was really well priced! I'm so glad I finally found a place that knows how to work with blonds and doesn't charge too much. Definitely recommend! read more

They've lost their best stylists unfortunately. Christina, who I was rolled over to, was so patronizing that I didn't even end up staying past the consultation part. While the owner is very nice, along with the front desk secretary, the manager is non-accommodating. She didn't listen well nor did she propose a solution to my issue. read more

I waited a little too long for a haircut and was thankful that Raw Elements stayed open reasonably late on a Saturday (until 7PM) and had an opening that same day I called. I was also looking for a new stylist in town and was lucky they paired me with Nicole, who did a great job on my cut. Nicole displayed great technique and gave me the layered cut I was looking for. She also spent the time to style my hair with some amazing products. My haircut was reasonably priced for the experience and talent I received. read more

Have been going to Raw Elements since it opened and love it! Brian S does a wonderful job on my hair - he takes the time to understand what I want, perfect it and uses only high-quality products. They will serve you a glass of wine or beer while they work and the ambiance of the salon is very relaxing. If you are looking for a new salon or stylist, definitely give Brian a try! read more

WOW!! PERFECTION!! Amazing service from the moment I called to book. Beautiful Salon. Quality Products. Reasonable Prices. First time appointment with Senior Designer Kelly. Kelly cut my hair perfectly. I am thrilled!! I have found my new Salon and Stylist. I would recommend to anyone. A pleasing experience. Even though I had arrived early, I was checked on and offered something to drink by the arrival desk and in the waiting area. Kelly was focused and willing to listen. Fun to talk with. Again, just thrilled! Thanks Kelly, I'll be back soon!! read more

Raw Elements is a great salon. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. Delaney is the best! I would recommend her to anyone. Two thumb way up! read more

Christina is fabulous! I started going to her last fall and I still love her work...and the people that work at the salon are very kind and professional. read more

Brian and staff have thought of everything to make this a great hair and attitude experience. Very comfy, yet modern. Two thumbs way up!

OK. Perhaps I just had a bad day at the place - given the response I got from the owner, I would say that they do know a thing or two about customer service. Still not 100% sure I'm going to make it back, but at least not completely miffed at them. read more

Delaney rocks my hair. She knows curly and is helping me with growing out a new style for my thinning hair.

Relaxed atmosphere. Staff is attentive to your needs. Nothing is assumed. Haircuts are more than a simple cut rather it's an experience. Hair looks fabulous every visit. Highly recommend. read more

Now offering Aveda products and Vomor hair extensions!

The stylists here are friendly and really know how to cut and style to suit your needs. I am very pleased with the results each time I visit! They did a great time suggesting and explaining what they were doing so I would have more success styling my hair at home. Francie was fantastic! I have fine hair and she knew what to recommend. Looks great now! read more

The first time I went to see Olivia she stayed an extra 2 hours passed closing time to make sure my hair was just the right color I wanted. She is more than helpful in every way and really cares about what I want, instead of what is easiest. I've tried multiple salons around the tulsa area, but have never met a staff half as welcoming or an artist half as dedicated. They're a wonderful place & I would definitely suggest it. read more
