I love Elan Salon. I love the whole ambiance not factitous at all. My hairdresser is Laslo. He's amazing. My hair never looked so good.

I agree with julia0215 7/4/2007

I went for a massage and was told I should get a "deep tissue" massage. Not being a fool and pretty wise to how spas work, I said "no thank you, the swedish is fine." I've had many before at many other places but this was way too light and I felt just as tense leaving as I did walking in, only $70 poorer. With so much competition in the neighborhood, I'd think they'd try a little harder to keep repeat customers. more

Amazing bikini wax! 2/9/2007

The first time I went here, the bikini wax was so fast, I didn't have time to say "ow!". The second time I literally felt nothing. I highly recommend going regularly, because the next time I waited too long and it hurt, but was still fast and efficient. I found the staff very welcoming and I've never waited more than a few minutes from when I stepped in the door. The atmosphere isn't very "spalike" so I probably wouldn't go here for massage and I only trust one woman to cut my hair, but as far as a regular bikini wax goes it's great. (They also used to be dirt-cheap at $15, but now they're $20. Still a good deal.) Pros: Friendly staff, experienced and fast waxers Cons: Setting, decoration, a little messy (but not dirty) more

do not go here. no matter what. 12/10/2006

i just created this citysearch profile for the sole purpose of warning everyone. avoid this place. the staff is unfriendly to the point of hostility. the woman who was waxing me was gruff, unfriendly and didn't seem to care how good a job she was doing. she actually cut me with the scissors (i was bleeding!) and she didn't apologize, give me kleenex, make sure i was okay, or anything. i expressed my unhappiness and she actually said "SO?" i can't believe i paid for this. please please avoid this dump of a salon at all costs. Cons: everything more

No Good Haircut 9/14/2006

For any girl with short hair, you know, cut is everything, you can see every layer. I went in on a recomendation, after growing my hair just long enough to have exactly the cut I want. The stylist cut at least 2 inches more than I specificaly, several times specified I wanted. In fact, I provided SIX photos of the same woman! in differnent positions of the haircut I wanted. I seriously look like a 15th century monk slash page boy. The volume in the back was at center of my head, it looked like an experiment!!! I have had some bad ones, but this one! Lopsided, I have spent hours fixing it, luckily I have had short hair for years and am very experienced cutting my own hair. NO concept of proportion, no consideration of patrons specific considerations. It took almost 2 hours too! He burned me with the hair dryer repetedly, cut hair all over my face, I couldn't breath, and he smelled. more

cigarette smell 8/27/2006

Got a gift certificate and spent it on a massage and reflexology. The room was a tiny room in the back and didn't feel very special or exclusive. The massage was relaxing, although I've had better. The reflexology was like an average foot massage with a hot towel. This was my first time getting reflexology but I heard it was supposed to be quite unique and enjoyable. The guy massaging me kept leaving the room to take cigarette breaks then would return stinking like cigarettes. The guy was very nice but I didn't enjoy how he took breaks during the time that I was paying for. Pros: Nice staff, convenient Cons: small, man smoking more

Not worth the money 7/29/2006

Went in for a Swedish massage for $60. It ended up being a glorified back rub. I was told you apparently you have to pay an extra $20 for the Deep Tissue massage to actually get any muscles massaged. I have had hundred of Swedish massages and this by far was the worst! Even though it was on the cheap side it isn't worth the money. Pros: Nice staff Cons: Skill and technique of massage was poor more

Unimpressed 4/8/2006

I received a gift certificate for Christmas and excitedly went for a facial and was quite disappointed. There was no massage of the neck, arms or feet while waiting for my mask to dry - instead I was left in a dark room with no music. I guess you get what you pay for - it is the cheapest facial in the slope. more

Editorial

  • In Short
    At first glance this salon looks like every other beauty shop in the Slope, stuffed with magazines, mirrors and beauty stations. But it's the buzz of estheticians busily performing treatments off a long-listed menu that differentiates Elan.

Services also include electrolysis, massages, hair care and texturing, manicures, pedicures and body waxing.
