Elements Salon

so i am wandering through the cooking aisle in marshalls on west gray, no makeup (my favorite state) hair not good and some guy approached me asking if would like a free haircut, skeptical at first, this is Houston, ha. i listened, joked and asked if he felt sorry for me and then he handed me a card from elements salon on fairview and i knew it was legit as i have been there in the past. i have been searching many years for a good hairdresser that can cut my fine tiny bit of wave hair. i booked and could not be happier, robert is an apprentice under rob the owner and i have been the guinea pig and loved every minute of it. i have a great low maintenance haircut and he has a new client! glad to know that this salon doesn’t just throw someone out on the floor fresh out of hair school but instead gives one on one training using models until they are ready.

I get nervous trying a new stylist but everything went exactly as I was hoping and better. I feel lucky to have found such a great place my first try here in Houston. From when I walked in and was greeted to when I left, my experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions, and Rob cut and styled my hair beautifully.

I stopped coming here after I was overcharged by a novice hair dresser. She said adding toner caused a $ 50 price hike. Their thickening products are also useless and made my scalp itch.

Came in to get my bangs cut and they were ridiculously nice. Also, I love my bangs. Will definitely come back in the future.

I am very happy with the service. Michaela did a great job, I left the salon feeling very good! High quality and nice ambiance. Definitely recommend!

Really cool place. Staff is nice. Ask for Noemi. She did a great job on my hair. She understood what I wanted and did it.

I had my first appointment at this salon. There was a small miscommunication in that I had requested a highlight through their online reservation system but was unknowingly booked for a haircut. Anyway, Naomi handled the change very professionally and did a fabulous job highlighting my hair. She was very nice, did a thorough and careful job, and explained exactly what she was doing. The price was very reasonable compared to other salons. I will definitely be going back!

The atmosphere was really comfortable. They have very comfortable sinks for your neck.

Fabulous Aveda salon. Stacey and Michaela are wonderful. Highlights and cuts are always perfect!

great experience

Hmm… Don’t even know how to start but in short, there are other better aveda salons with better services and stylists. If you love aveda salons, google other locations first before you head to this one. Maybe book this Element Salon only when you have no other options.

Found this salon online, decided to try it without a personal recommendation. Overall very satisfied with my experience. Friendly staff, clean facilities. Very expensive, however. My cut, color and highlights was $ 260 not including tip. I have had my hair done at Aveda salons in Manhattan for less than that. Good experience but overpriced.

I’m having a tough time with this review. I intentionally sought out an Aveda salon. I recently discovered how much longer my red lasts with their color. I booked an appointment for color and TRIM. The color and low lights are impressive. ⁵⁄₅ stars easy for their color expert!
The trim though… oh my. I showed a photo of my old hairstyle I’m working back toward. I explained that I wanted my choppy layers smoothed out. I also very intentionally said I only wanted a TRIM and that I often ask for shorter than I really want, and I’d rather her err on cutting less than more.
I dozed off a bit while she was CUTTING. It was so relaxing. (Pro.) But I unfortunately didn’t notice how much hair was gone! I opened my eyes and noticed the hair on my left side was super short. Then I looked on the ground and saw bits of hair that were easily 2 inches long. I have medium length hair. That’s not a trim! She was nearly finished, and I was too terrified to correct her, for fear more damage would occur. She finished cleaning up. I was nearly in tears. I’ve had hair be not quite perfect but never this far off! I was nearly in tears. I paid and left. When I got home, I noticed that my part ended up in a different place than we’d originally planned and the right back part of my hair is longer than the left.
I have emo boy hair. I absolutely hate it. (Con con con.)
Despite the amazing color, I’ll never go back.

Elements is a great salon. I love that it is nestled in my neighborhood and within easy walking distance. Rob is the owner, also cuts hair and has great expertise. In fact, he regularly trains others in haircutting. The staff is very friendly and the place has a great vibe, a comfy, artsy, and semi-​industrial space. They now send an email confirmation for appointments that is very helpful. You always get a great head and neck massage before the shampooing, which is delicious. The place has huge windows so it is light-​filled and you feel like you are getting your haircut in the outdoors. It is down to earth and very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Rob is the hair whisperer. You can feel his passion for hair. He gave me an amazing precision haircut and I have already booked another appointment with him. I highly recommend Elements and Rob.

I walked and drove by this salon for years before becoming a client and kick myself for waiting so long (it’s a 2 minute walk from my house!). My stylist Michaela Hall is terrific and listens to what I want to do. The salon is modern and clean, and very comfortable. Diana, the receptionist, is a great person to see when you walk in the door. I have recommended Elements to friends and they love it too. The prices are reasonable, and they are an Aveda salon — I happen to like these products a lot.

I was in search for a new salon and searched Unilocal and after reading several
reviews called and made an appt.
I called in the afternoon on a Thurs and asked first available and they were able to
get me in at 9am Saturday for a cut and color. I was trying to stay under $ 150 for hair cut and hair color and when i looked up prices they said $ 75 color and $ 65 cut so i thought great. I also verified this over the phone.
I met with my colorist and talked in great detail about what i wanted. I was looking for low lights for contrast to my dark brown hair. I told her I just wanted a partial low light. She colored my hair which came out more blended brown but I know its hard to match colors to what someone else has done before. I had to wait a little for my stylist to cut my hair but they were very good about communicating what was going on.
In the mean time a guy came over and said you get a hand massage with color service. It was a nice treat and he was very nice.
So now the cut– the stylist Jeff was really nice. I explained i wanted something different but not to short and not a «bob».
Well my hair came out a little shorter than expected and in a «bob» style. I wasnt sure how to feel about it at first but its growing on me. When i checked out the total came to $ 166 before i got some product from the shelf. Im not sure where the extra $ 26 came from and people were waiting behind me so I was too embarassed to ask. Overall I would say it was a good experience a little pricier then I expected but I will probably go back.

I have been coming to Ana at elements for several years now.
Great salon in a great location. Very central, and easy parking (always a plus!). The entire staff is very friendly, and all top notch in my opinion.
Ana has been getting my hair platinum blonde for some time now, which is no easy feat. She is an aveda color wizard. Anything you can dream up, she can likely do!

Awesome staff! Everyone is so friendly.
I came here to get my haircut and they did a great job!

I love this place! The staff is very friendly.
I’ve been here twice, and both times, Michaela cut my hair. She’s amazing! Both times I printed some pictures of the style I wanted — she works well with pictures. She looked at the pictures and told me what she saw, to make sure we were seeing the same thing. She told me what she was going to do to my hair, to make sure it was okay. She also gives very relaxing massages.
We struck up a great conversation, too — she made me feel very comfortable. I definitely recommend her!
