The salon was a big, pleasant surprise for me. It is very elegant inside, with leather chairs, and nice decor. A friend referred me to Melody to get my hair done for a photoshoot. It seemed a long way to drive from OKC to Shawnee for a hair cut, but I went. And WOW she is amazing. I have a chubby face and curly, frizzy hair, and she managed to not only give it a vibrant new red color, then cut it so that it really looks good on me. The real surprise is when I had to wash out the flat ironing a few days later and the cut STILL looks good. I'll be coming back when it is time for another trim. :)

Made an appointment. Waited 30 minutes with nobody saying anything to me. Never asked if I had been helped and I never saw the person I made an appointment with. The way the salon is set up you need a receptionist. Would never go back or recommend.

If you're ever in the Shawnee area and need a haircut, do not even consider Elements hair salon– not even as a last resort.
I go in, ask for the same cut I have except the top taken down to two inches and thinned out, especially on the sides. Throughout explaining what I wanted done, Ariel kept questioning my judgment. "You want the number two clippers? That's almost bald." I never asked for the number two clippers. I asked for two inches on the top. I told her that I didn't want to be almost bald and I got a buzz cut anyway because that's apparently what she wanted for me to have. I don't feel like I was listened to. If I was unclear– and I might have been– she should have asked if I had a picture or asked specifically how long I wanted it at the first sign of confusion, and not make assumptions and rub my head with the hair clippers until it was almost gone.
Upon further inspection of my completely new hairstyle, I noted that the back of my neck had been almost completely neglected. I had to take out my electric razor and trim it myself.
I've had a lot of bad haircut experiences, but this was by far the worst. I look like a high school football coach, and I did not have any intention to look like this. Now I will have to wait at least a month and spend extra money on a stylist I can (hopefully) trust to only thin out my hair, just to get it to the length that I asked for.
