I cannot say enough nice things. Let's just say I had a hair emergency. "Another salon" left my hair a dark, flat, depressing mess. I have several big functions ahead that had me wanting simply to "look pretty". I was running very low on time, sanity and patience...and through another very professional salon (they couldn't get me in quick enough, so they suggested Elle. Tara Hollier specifically ) I was referred here. Surely they must have thought I was a crazy woman with my lengthy rambling texts, (bad hair makes women crazy no?) but they were so polite and understanding over the phone, I knew I'd be in good hands. I was. Tara fixed the mess, and I left feeling just a tiny bit glamorous. (For a 48 year old sleep deprived grandma with a full time job and 2 hour commute...a tiny bit glamorous is HUGE!) read more

I made an appointment after work at Salon Elle for a shampoo, condition, dry, and style before a dinner party. At the time I made my appointment, I informed them that I have extensions, so long thick hair. They booked my appointment with Brittlyn and told me it would cost $35. I showed up and Brittlyn took me straight back to wash. I had to let her know that with my extensions, it should be brushed out first, because I knew I would have tangles and getting it wet just makes them worse. When shampooing she hardly worked up a lather and didn't really get to my scalp, underneath, or ends at all. She put a little bit of conditioner, rinsed it out and grabbed a towel to dry. At home, I HAVE to use quite a bit of conditioner to help with tangles and make it more manageable. I asked Brittlyn to wash it again, as I didn't feel like she got my scalp clean. She repeated a similar shampoo method to the first time, skipped conditioner, and then grabbed at towel. All in all I was in the sink less than probably 5 minutes! At home this process takes me 10-15 min easily, when I'm in a hurry. One of the best parts of a blowout is the relaxing time getting your hair washed and scalp massaged, this just felt rushed and half done.  She was rough brushing my hair out and I felt awkward making any more "suggestions" at this point; as they weren't warmly received. She didn't get my hair completely dry, didn't put a smock on me, and didn't hardly use any product or ask for what I'd prefer or typically do. My blouse was visibility wet. She started wanding my hair while it was still wet. She didn't brush it out or tease it or bother to ask again what I wanted and then told me my total was $40. This is just a $5 difference and I realize I have a lot of hair, but if you're price is going to change from what was originally named; the appropriate business practice would be to inform your client before proceeding. The choice to continue at a higher price should be the client's decision to make. I had dinner plans afterward and had to go with a damp shirt and damp hair and it did not look salon fresh at all.  If my hair wasn't really clean, wasn't styled, and still damp? What did I really spend money on!? To make matters much much worse I reached out to the salon owner/manager, before leaving this review, back in November of 2018 to inform her of the situation and hoping for rectification. She apologized and told me they wanted to rectify it by inviting me back for the same service, complimentary, with a different stylist. Since November of 2018 I have been trying to get this so-called correction rescheduled and have been unsuccessful in doing so ....I understand that during the holiday season, things get busy, but I have given them ample time and patience. I always go to a salon for this type of service before choosing who to use for cut, color, and other services. Luckily, I only lost out on $40. Horrible experience, I wouldn't recommend. read more

I honestly want to give 3 1/2 stars but that's not possible so I'll round up I guess. My hair cut here was good, not too bad. But my experience I believe could have been a bit better. The girl whose name I won't say, was a bit rough with my head. I got a shampoo, cut, and blow dry but during the cutting she kept tousling my hair. I understand she is trying to style my hair but it was rough for my sensitive scalp. When she shampooed my hair I wished she would have dried it a bit better because I was dripping more then I deem normal walking back to her chair. She just kind of put a towel on my head and told me to go back to the chair. I of course understand hair is supposed to be wet but it was dripping a lot and made me feel uncomfortably wet. She didn't look like she was having a good day so I didn't bother to say anything. She also seemed to be rushing even when there was no one else waiting after me. I paid and tipped but am on the lookout for a hairstylist to better fit me. She might be a good fit for someone else but not me. I hope this review helps out. read more
