Great Cut & Honest Feedback In One Place

by HillCountryHappy at Citysearch

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised, if not thrilled, with the service and cut that I received at Elan by Colleen. I purchased a Groupon for deep conditioning and a cut/style which normally means "cheap" to businesses... they don't work nearly as hard on pleasing you when they hear the c-word, "coupon". Not the case at this salon!

First, I sent my mother in as a guinea pig to see if she came out with a good cut. She has frizzy, delicate, hard to control hair. She always picks styles that aren't right for her body/face type and aren't at the level of maintenance she is willing to give. To my surprise, she came out with silky smooth hair (practically impossible to do with her hair) and a flattering cut that Colleen, the stylist, helped her pick out to match my mother’s face and her styling talents.

When it was my turn to go in, I had to cancel several times, played phone tag, and then was late on the day of because of traffic! Even with all of the changes and the c-word hanging over my head, Colleen calmly welcomed me and soothed my mind about all of the problems that occurred. She gave me honest feedback about the cut and style that I wanted and went to work. I can honestly say my hair looks great and I can wear it straight, wavy, up, down, anyway that I want because of the quality of cut! She even suggested a hair treatment that uses enzymes to lighten my hair versus having maintain everything with dye jobs and highlights all the time.

Colleen was a straight shooter and is amazing with her scissors! This is a great place! It is sandwiched between Santa Fe Optical and a little meat market. Just WONDERFUL!

FOUND THE HAIR STYLIST OF MY DREAMS

by brittanynemec at Citysearch

In my hometown, I used to have a hair stylist that did my hair for years. I moved to Austin almost 2 years ago, and was worried I might not find someone who I fully trusted with my hair. I had heard about a stylist, Mary Dunn Morehouse, who works at Elan Hair Salon, through a very good friend mine. I thought about it and decided to book a consult with her. A few days later I made my appointment with her and went in to discuss my specific needs. Mary was very warm and genuinely cared about how I wanted my hair to look. She sincerely listened, she did precise work, and was time efficient. My hair now looks AMAZING! Let me tell you and I am very picky with my hair. I have always had great hair but Mary made my hair Fantastic! I couldn't have been happier with her, the salon, or the wonderful results I received. I promise, if you get your hair done once by this awesome stylist, you won't go anywhere else!!!!

Shalena Harris at Elan Salon gave me my best hair cut ever

by iamsain at Citysearch

I can not say enough about what a great haircut I got last week from Shalena at Elan Salon. I have long hair but it needed some sassy swing/long layers. I have tried many salons in town and my cuts were good not great. I heard about Elan Salon so I called and the owner told me he had just the stylist for me. Wow I am getting so many compliments on my hairstyly. The best part is Shalena used math to create my cut that allows it to fall into place without the need for blowing it dry or curling irons. It's litterally wash and wear. The hair all falls naturally to a swinging beautiful style. Her math is brilliant because my hair cut is amazing. I just had to share the good news with other long hair gals looking for a solution to summer hair. Try Shalena and you'll want to sing about it too!

Awesome Experience

by Kt8980 at Citysearch

Terry knows how to rock out a color and cut. I have been traveling to Houston to get my hair cut, but finally found a salon in Austin that is not only comparable, but in many respects goes beyond the Houston salon. The staff is friends, the atmosphere is great!
