What People Are Saying About Elevations Salon & Cafe
Featured Review
Joanna Currier
Contributor
In Short – This sky-lit warehouse of a salon with light-gray concrete poles and floors is lined with 32 sleek hair stations and softened by the cheerful bustle of nearly 20 hair designers. Gourmet salads and sandwiches from the salon's curved, central cafe counter are delivered directly to hair stations during lengthy or lunchtime treatments. A busy coloring center is tucked in back so no one feels "on display" during sessions. Nail and makeup services are also available.

Michelle for color; Leslie for a cut...
by sarahreddick at Citysearch
I highly recommend Michelle for color and Leslie for a haircut. Michelle gives me beach blond highlights that get sooo many compliments and are the best I've had in Texas or California. Leslie's "bedside manner" is terrific. She spends the necessary time on a consultation, and I come out with long, subtle layers that have great shape and movement. Both Michelle and Leslie are immensely talented, kind, and pleasant.

Masumi did thermal conditioning on my hair, and it came out STUNNING! My hair has never looked so shiny and healthy. I swear by her talents and highly recommend her.

Marisa= Eyebrow and MakeUp Perfection
by sfbeautie at Citysearch
I've always done my eyebrows myself and either over-tweezed or let them get out of control, I decited to have a specialist shape them. Marisa at Elevation salon did an amazing job. She even gave me a complimentary make-up touch up so I looked great when I left the salon. Now every 4 weeks I go in to have her clean up my arch on my lunch break and it's one less thing I have to worry about in my crazy life. Everyone should treat themselves to this experiance. I'll be back for make-up lessons from Marisa soon!!
- Pros: Tru Cosmetics

Atis (color) & Russ (cut) are the best!
by abaylishenry at Citysearch
Atis (for highlights - especially good for blonds) & Russ (for cuts) are FANTASIC! I HIGHLY recommend both! I have only positive things to say about my overall salon experience at Elevations & I have been a client now for over two years.

Best Salon Hair Color
by starunner at Citysearch
I'm surprised no one has raved about Jane yet! She has been coloring my hair the perfect blonde for years now. My hair used to be short because it would always break before I found Jane (through Allure mag.) because I like to be really blonde but, she has managed to give me my favorite color without it breaking. Now my hair is acutally shiny and healthy and past my shoulders!! Her color is always consistent, my hair has lots of, as she puts it "dimension", I always get compliments, I just love it, and her. I don't cut my hair very often but when I do it looks great too, but if you are looking for perfect color, see Jane.
