Elements Hair Studio

Jenny was amazing. I have super long, thick, and curly hair. She asked me how I wanted to style my hair and gave suggestions on what would make it look even better. She even recommended products for daily maintenance of my curls without being pushy for me to buy them. My hair looks great. I will definitely be back!

If anyone has ever spent any time planning their wedding, they know how nerve racking it can be. Imagine my shock when my stylist who I had been going to since high school tells me three days before my wedding that he has an emergency and had to leave the country. In between my tears and panic attack, I started googling places that could fix the half dyed dried mop on my head that I had neglected for half a year. I saw the positives review on this place and immediately called. As soon as I explained the situation, they got me in the morning of my wedding. Corinne was super sweet, patient and listened to my rant while taking into account what I was going for (anyone who says otherwise needs to get their head checked not their hair!). They somehow got me super relaxed and my hair turned out even better than I thought it would. They even gave me a cute little gift bag for my big day which was super touching. The experience was worth every penny. This was a few years ago already (I can’t believe it!) and never Unilocal but I thought I would give this place their props. I haven’t gone to another salon since (I tend to just let my hair do its thing) but I will be calling again soon and am praying Corrine is still there because she’s an artist. Thanks again Elements and see you in the spring!

BOOK WITH JENNY! I came to elements hair studio desperate for a great stylist. I am very picky, and my hair is very hard to do. I have had my hair every color in the book from platinum to black so my hair is kind of rough. I came in with dark brown hair, looking to go blonde (I know kind of a stretch). They put me with Jenny and I absolutely could not be happier with the outcome. 0 breakage, my hair feels healthier now then before. The highlights aren’t brassy and go with my skin perfectly. She took the time out to talk to me about all my options and showed me which products to up keep my hair with. She is amazing and has the best personality, I was immediately comfortable. I would recommend her to every one and any one for cut, color or styling! I finally found the best stylist!

I just had an appt a few hours ago with Gabby and she was AWESOME! I’m very picky when I get beautified (lol) but she did a perfect job. Very receptive to how I wanted my hair. My hair grows VERY fast and unfortunately have a lot of grey hair so I can’t really afford to have it professionally dyed every few weeks and I’m always apprehensive getting a hair cut cause stylist make me feel like an idiot for box dying my hair. But she didn’t at all, she asked about it and then gave a tip to help me out but didn’t make me feel bad at all and I really appreciated that. I will for sure continue to get my hair cuts from her! Worth every penny!!! Oh and the coffee was great ;)

It’s about time I updated my review, a lot has changed since 2009. I started to go to elements when Robert first opened on fifth avenue. I was a long time customer of his, he began to get busy with fashion shows, events etc. and recommended I see Gabriel, she did my touch ups, and since then I have stayed with her. She’s amazing, and so sweet, will always do her best to accommodate you, she’s wonderful with color, she has kept me blonde, made me dark brown, back to light, and lighter we go. She is my go to girl for hair! She’s also an amazing makeup artist, I have use her many times, she always makes me look fab!
I will never trust anyone else to touch my hair, especially not with color & cut, when you ask for a light trim, that’s exactly what you get… she also does a wonderful job blowing out my hair, I usually go to her once a week for a wash & blow because I’m too lazy to do it myself. :-)

Wanda is a miracle worker. I have no hair on my head but she is a magician with extensions! Does wonderful updo’s as well.

Ask for Patty!
I was in town for a wedding and needed a blow out last minute as it was shockingly 80degrees and humid! I called and was booked a few hours later.
What luck! Patty was excellent taming my frizzy bubble into a sleek bob. I will definitely be back whenever in Park Slope.

I have known Robert for a few years, I think he is awesome. I wanted to cut my son’s hair for the first time and I wanted to do it with a profeccional. Lucky me Robert does kid’s hair so I took my son Angel for a cut. Oh my God he did an amazing job. Robert managed to distract my son so that he wouldn’t cry or move while cutting his hair. If you want to give your toddler the perfect cut than this is definitely the right place to do so. And since it was my son’s birthday Robert decided that it was his gift to the baby. Thank you so much and he gave me an envelope with my baby’s hair to keep.

I went here last month to have my medium brown hair ombred into a rich red. The technique was spot on and blended well but the red wasn’t the shade I asked for. I had several photos and the woman (I don’t remember her name) promised she would get it spot on. For $ 200+ I was obviously bummed. I should have went back and asked them to fix it but I was afraid it would just be worse. I ended up changing it myself with an over-​the-​counter box. If you’re adventurous or not looking for something in particular, I definitely recommend it. But if you already have a vision for what you want your hair to look like, forget it.

I’m not picky about my hair; I normally go to Astor Place. I recently gave Element a try as it’s in my neighborhood and, by NYC standards, has less-​egregious prices ($ 55 for an above the ear cut). I went to Corinne due to her many positive Unilocal reviews. Unfortunately, she gave me a horrible haircut — probably the worst of my life.
I say horrible because it was very, very uneven across the front. (I would add a photo if I could, and you would not believe a salon gave such a haircut.) I asked Corinne to take as little as possible off the front, since I’m growing out my hair. She left my bangs as they were (3″ long) in some places — but cut them down to 1″ long in other places. But, she did this randomly, so there are multiple peaks and valleys across my forehead. Seriously. From the front, I look like a 9-​year-​old found a pair of scissors and went at my hair. When she styled my hair at the end, she slicked it completely back, so unfortunately, I didn’t notice the severe crookedness until I got home. By then it was too late.
Even a cheap place like Supercuts cuts hair carefully enough that the two sides of your head resemble each other, and your bangs are roughly even all the way across. I may have job interviews coming up, and it’s frustrating to have a terribly uneven haircut. I have no idea how this was so badly botched, but I would steer clear of this salon.

Ah, I have been in NYC for 3 years now and have desperately been searching for a salon that wouldn’t destroy my hair and where I would be happy. I’ve had two BAD experiences, and I am happy to say that Element is the first place i’ve found that I’ve been happy with. They are a bit expensive, but it is totally worth it.

Excellent! I was hesitant after a less than stellar hair cut on a to-​remain-​nameless salon on 7^th avenue, but read the reviews here and got an appointment with Gabrielle. She lived up to the expectation, taking time at the beginning to sort me out and talk through what I should do with my hair. I complained that I seem to walk out with the same hair cut over and over and she helped me get exactly what I needed — a fresh, NEW do. It’s the most dramatic haircut I’ve had in about 20 years, which you should usually leave to somebody you have built trust with, but Gabrielle passed the test. She was willing to do the big cut, but also wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting in too over my head. Oh, and great color too! I was thankful that she didn’t try to talk me into more/​expensive color/​highlights than I needed right now.
I really liked Elements — kind, welcoming folks who can also serve up a nice cup of coffee.
Again, excellent!

I have been going to Elements for cuts and color for about a year and have been very impressed. I found the salon after having a horrible experience at Le Chandelier. Basically I asked the stylist there for a little red highlight in my hair and I left with a deep purplish mess! Corinne saved me and was able to take out the red and give me a very natural blend of color and highlights. Just last week, I visited Corinne for the 4^th time for a cut color and highlight. I was pleased but not overjoyed with the color so I called back the next day for a color correction. She was FANTASTIC! Corinne corrected the color, apologized for the fact that I had to come back and then wouldn’t even accept my tip! Of course I was not charged for the correction either. I will definitely be returning to Corinne. She truly cares about the satisfaction of her customers!

I’ve been going to Elements since I was in the 9^th grade of high school! 8 years, loyal customer. When I first began my relationship with Elements the lovely Juno would highlight and cut my hair (Unfortunately he relocated to another salon somewhere in Park Slope, visit him there) However Gabrielle began to highlight and cut my hair and it always came out beautifully just like the wonderful job she did on my hair for my Senior Prom! She found good extensions that blended perfectly with my hair, and mind you I was very apprehensive about styling and using extensions. I should of known from the start the end result was going to be great. She did an AMAZING job! Recently I’ve been seeing Conchetta who has been highlighting/​lowlighting my hair and cutting and she does a wonderful job as well. I felt the need to write this long review because of my devote investments in this place. I got my hair done today by Conchetta and we both couldn’t stop raving about how great it had come out. Definitely did a 5 star job!
This place is great, really really friendly people who are professionals and get you the result you want. I hope to see them in Park Slope for a very very long time! Def. recommend!

Corinne cuts and colors my hair and I love it every time. Everyone in the salon is friendly and they keep it clean and welcoming. I too love the coffee and biscotti. If you want to relax and look good, go to Elements.

After moving to Brooklyn, trying out several salons and surviving some iffy hair situations, I have finally found my new home salon!
Elements feels clean, chic, and all of the staff were friendly when I arrived, immediately offering coffee, tea, water, and even bringing me a biscotti on the side.
Corinne and I had a little chat about the look that I was going for, and she gave me hilights and lowlights exactly the way I wanted them– skinny, blended, bright blonde, and she got my roots colored super close to my scalp. This was a top notch color job, and I will be happy to return to Corinne again for my next touch up.
I also got a cut with Corinne, but I think I was a little too wishy washy when we discussed my cut. I knew my ends were in trouble and I needed a serious trim, but I really didn’t want to lose too much length… Instead of a little trim, suddenly 4 inches of my hair were on the ground. My hair is still shoulder length but it’s been a little bit of an adjustment for me– everyone agrees that it looks great but it wasn’t what I was going for.
The total for a partial hilight/​lolight and cut and blow was $ 160. Totally reasonable and definitely worth it. Also, you can’t tip on your credit card so remember to bring cash!
Summary: I got an excellent color job at this great comfortable salon, but next time I’ll be more specific about how I ask for my hair cut!

I LOVE this salon-it’s relatively cheap and has consistent good quality hair cuts. The staff is always incredibly friendly, talkative and fun. I see Corrine, who is adorable. She is also very good at cutting hair. I’m also asian-​plus for Corrine for being able to handle asian hair. I’ve had long layers cut, Penelope Cruz-​style, and I just had my hair cut short. Every time I’ve seen her, I’ve left happy, in a good mood and looking awesome. Love Love Love Elements.

I have been looking for a great salon to go to since moving to Brooklyn. I have definitly found that at Elements! I had a Junior Stylist, Cori, cut my long hair, which had no shape or style since I had not gone to a salon in so long. I asked her to give my hair some personality and she totally did.
I love that you get coffee or tea during your cut. I love that the shampoo sinks have adjustable kneck rests so you don’t have to lean all the way back and be uncomfortable.
All day, after my cut, people were commenting on my hair and how healthy it looked, or how the hair cut looked really expensive. Nope! Only $ 47. This is going to be my new salon, for sure.

These guys have been doing Opti-​Smooth on my hair for the past 5 years. I always have a great time when I see them because they’re so professional and are themselves Matrix educators. Steve and I have shared many stories throughout the years and I always feel like I’m returning «home» when I go there.
My hair is always at its best (despite the mandatory 3 day waiting period to wash it) and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Professional, upbeat & perfect customer service!

I really liked this salon the first time I went. They gave me a great deal on my cut/​color.
However, as a repeat customer, I was completely shafted! I didn’t ask for a price quote, because I was literally getting the same treatment. I was out in half the time that I was the first time around, but… the bill was over 100 dollars more! I balked but they were completely rude.
Always ask first. I was pretty upset. Maybe because I’m young they thought they could take advantage? I’m not sure. I wouldn’t go back there after the unfairness I experienced. It just made me feel icky and taken advantage of!
Oh, and no american express. Figures, amex has a great customer care division and I would have disputed these charges. Sneaky guys, sneaky.
