First time at Elan (just moved here) I am blonde and needed my roots done. I was told Julie was a senior colorist who charged more than average so I figured that she would be a safe bet. She says a base and highlight will get rid of my roots. I've never had a base color but I figure she is the prof. The base color turns my entire head ORANGE at the roots. So she puts a toner on to reduce the brassiness. That doesn't work. I alert her to the fact that my roots and ends are different colors. The roots are gold (practically matched the gold earrings i was wearing) and my ends are platinum. Julie says, "Well thats why I asked if you wanted lowlights to blend the colors." Umm I dont think so, I wanted the roots to match my ends (DUH) and I didn't want my hair any darker. That comment tells me she knew the color wouldn't match my ends but still used it. Plus who wants two-toned hair? I was appalled. My hair looks terrible and I resemble a bleached bimbo whose hair looks cheap and fake. She told me to go home and wait a week to see if it gets better. I was appalled again. After showing it to my new co-workers and my boyfriend everyone agreed. I seriously look like a FAKE brassy blonde. Everytime I see myself in the mirror I do a double take. I called Elan and they had Brian do a full highlight the next day (free of charge). He is a great highlighter (lots of foils close together) but the color doesn't come out so easy so I basically have to wait until it washes it out and continue to bleach it out. I wouldn't let Julie touch your blonde hair. I am a fair person and will even say that I saw her cut (not color) other people and those turned out good, but for blonde stay away. Her highlights were pretty bad too, she used like 1/2 the foils I am used to. So now I am washing my hair with a violet shampoo to de-brass it and waiting... Its been 12 days and still looking orange. I am still embarrased to see people. The manager is very nice and Brian is a good colorist.
Pros: Polite Manager
Cons: Bad Stylist

Well, I've had my hair done by some truly amazing people here in Nashville. But when I walked into Elan last Thursday, I wasn't even really sure if I wanted to get my hair done. You see, I'm one of those people who knows what I want to look like, but I don't know how to tell someone what to do to get me there. But lately, my hair (which hadn't been touched up or trimmed in 6 months) was getting on my nerves, looking ratty, and prettymuch only looked good when I tossed it up into a ponytail or pinned it back with about 10 bobby pins. So I decided to just trust them and let them fix my hair. Turns out, Brian Elliott was available for a walk-in appointment, and I described what I wanted him to do: leave my hair long (I know short hair works for me, so it often gets chopped off when I say "do whatever you want"), "wake up" my color, and make it basically maintenance-free, since I hate styling my hair. Brian started by giving me highlights and lowlights, then evened up some of my choppy and disconnected layers. Then he gave me long bangs, which I was thrilled about, since they highlighted my eyes!! Usually I have to wait about a week to know if I love my hair or not.... and usually, I don't, and I go back to get it tweaked. I LOVE MY HAIR!!! It's easy to fix, the color is perfect, and it looks really healthy.
Pros: friendly, accomodating staff
