I've been back in the Hampton Roads area for over a year and had not found a stylist I loved. I just go for a cut and dry and Carson did an AMAZING job. I'm very particular about my hair, hadn't been in love with any of the haircuts I've received out here but Carson put some life back into my style will definitely go back!

I've gone a few times for cuts and coloring. Trying to give this salon a chance in seeing different stylists. Each time I felt incredibly under valued and left with my hair either horribly uneven or barely there coloring. Though I tried communicating many times their approach would not work well with my hair. But what do I know? They are the stylists. Not worth the price or the arrogance.

I loved going to Salon Elite! I was having a hard time finding a place who could cut my curly (3a-b) hair and would understand what I want, but Salon Elite was perfect. I did a (free!) consultation before my actual appointment to talk about my hair and what I wanted, and that helped me to feel comfortable knowing that the salon knew what to do with curly hair. When I had my actual appointment, I felt very comfortable there and was offered drinks and was even given a granola bar.
They used curly shampoo on my hair and my hairdresser took extra time to make sure the highlights on my head were even and looking how I wanted. The cut is perfect and just what I asked for! The only reason I took a star off was because the ending style done by the hairdresser left my hair extremely frizzy and without any defined curls, so I had to re-style when I went home, but I understand that styling curly hair can be pretty difficult. I will be definitely returning!
