Parking is on the street but also in the back. It's an old restored house. I was greeted by Alex who also did my facial. We walked to the room and I laid down. She asked what area should she focus on and I told her. The facial was very relaxing and she also did some extractions which I love!! She was making sure I was ok when she was doing it and I thought that was nice. Every mask she put on me, she told me what it was and what it was for. And the end of the facial she gave me a hand massage which was awesome! Plus, she dabbed something on my lips and when I put it together it felt like a great lip balm! Definitely worth the price!

My 18 year-old daughter wanted an all over hair dye as her Christmas gift. We first attempted to do…read moreit the week after Christmas. We had taken her to Ulta, as I didn't really know of someone to do it off hand, and Ulta should know what they are doing, right? We explained what we wanted, and the stylist let us know that it would probably be a long process because my daughter has very dark hair. That was fine. I left her there. She called not long after to tell me that the stylist told her she couldn't do what my daughter wanted in one visit after all. She wanted to start and then have my daughter come back for another visit later. This didn't sound right to me, but I agreed. What my daughter ended up with- after wanting all over blue hair- was green highlights in her hair. They weren't very well done, and my husband, who picked her up, was charged double the amount that we were told it would be. My daughter was devastated- to say the least. We started looking for a competent stylist who came recommended and could get her hair the way she wanted it. Caleb at Twisted Lemon was highly recommended, so we went to see him. He took time to look at what my daughter's hair looked like. He told us exactly what he would do to fix it. He gave us a quote for the price. And then we made an appointment. My daughter had her visit to Caleb this week. And we are thoroughly impressed. He took so much time with her- much more than he had expected , once he actually began to work. He discovered that the Ulta stylist had done some crazy things that really messed up the color of her hair, things he couldn't believe a professional stylist would do. He spent all afternoon and then had my daughter come back after her night class at Winthrop to finish up. Her hair looks beautiful! Even after all that time, he charged us what he said he would. He is extremely talented and professional. He put my daughter at ease and did an amazing job. We can highly recommend him!

I was looking for a new hair stylist as I had become complacent with mine but was very tired of not…read moregetting what I was asking for. I feel like it is always hard to look for a new stylist because it can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes referrals from friends are great, but because the Charlotte area is large, the last thing I want is a commute for getting my hair done, that process always takes enough time! I went back to yelp again, and found Southern Roots. While they only had a few reviews, they were all great. I called in and Tiffany actually answered, but had to book me with Donna because of the day I was requesting. She was very kind in trying to set this up for me. When I went to Donna the first time, I asked for my usual cut, a little off the bottom and plenty off the layers, as I love to see my layers. I also asked for my hair color to pop. Unfortunately this is where things went wrong. Everyone can interpret their definitions differently, and my thought of pop was different than Donna's. That is my fault for not going further into likes/dislikes. My hair is naturally brown and she added in blonde highlights that were way too bright and blonde for me. I hated how I looked and hated the contrast. While I did receive compliments on my new look, I did not like the shade of blonde in my hair. However, I loved the cut. I finally received a cut that I had been asking for! As I stated before, I love to see my layers, so I always ask for much shorter layers, and for some reason, other hair stylists only seem to go about an inch above my longer length even though I always ask for much more. Since I got the cut and realized my communication was poor on my likes/dislikes and what I wanted out of color, I decided to go back. At the second appointment, I told Donna I hated the color from the first visit. She was very kind in taking my hatred and even suggested I should have come back, but I really just wanted to try to get used to it, maybe I would eventually like it. I found pictures off the internet of colors that I liked and had them saved for this second visit. I showed Donna a couple, and she picked right up on the colors! She added in some red to my brown while darkening up the blonde from the last visit. My color was spot on! And to me, adding in the red and darker blonde, was my pop. It looked great, along with the cut! I just went back this weekend for a third visit. I confirmed my love for the looks from the second visit and we updated the red and brown this time. After we finished with the cut/color, I pointed out what I loved so that she could make notes on what to do and how to update the different colors for next time. My hair is naturally curly, but I probably style my hair curly half the week and half the week I style it straight. I love that Donna is willing to take the time to style it straight so that I can see the layers and see the cut, that way I can ask for a little bit more if needed. I am happy to say and excited to say, I have found my new stylist! I think it is great someone is willing to listen to my critiques and wants me to be happy. While I can't say anything about Tiffany here, I can say Donna is great and I would recommend her easily!

I left cash and a tip on a hair color job that nearly three long weeks later is so much darker than I am comfortable with that I still can't believe what I see in the mirror. She missed the mark on me. I'm not playful with my hair color... I wasn't trying to play with it. I loved it - even in its faded, sad post crisis condition it was "my" color. What I have now is a deep dark strange head that even my young children still can't figure out. My eye brow pencil is too light for my new Tiffany given color. Be warned and fore-armed about paying cash for such services. Tiffany apologetically and frankly unapologetic business manner won't do anything for me to adjust or fix this color "because of my hair history." So now my budget is spent and there isn't anything that can be done... I still look like "crisis hell". ....I'm just sad, mad, and feel entirely unlike myself - - mismatched to this dark mop -- just ugly.

When I first started going to Element 5, I was very happy with my experience. I was working with…read moreBrittney Rubac, who was extremely friendly and gave me flawless haircuts for the first six months. After that, however, the quality of my cuts declined significantly, and I experienced a number of recurring issues. Here are a few of the reasons for my negative review: 1) After the first few visits, Brittney inexplicably stopped shampooing my hair. I do prefer dry cuts, but it's still customary to wash and shampoo the client's hair at the end before blow-drying and styling it. A few times I even reminded her by asking, "Are you going to wash/shampoo my hair?" Unless I reminded her, she simply wouldn't do it. I eventually got tired of having to ask every time and just let it go because it wasn't worth making a big deal out of. 2) Brittney started rushing through my haircuts to the point where they were basically done in 20-30 minutes. I came in late one Thursday evening, and I was literally out of the chair in 20 minutes. When she brought me to the front desk, the receptionist said, "Wow, 20 minutes--that's a new record." Brittney just laughed and said, "I was in the zone!" That really didn't sit well with me because when you're charging top dollar for a haircut (and getting tipped 25%), the last thing you want to hear is someone joking about how quickly they got you out the door. It felt like Brittney's focus had clearly shifted from giving quality cuts to getting through appointments as quickly as possible. I know that she has a long commute home, but spending 20 mins on someone's cut is absurd. 3) Over time, Brittney just genuinely seemed to stop caring about the quality of my haircuts and instead made excuses for shoddy work. Her go-to excuse was that the humidity was affecting how my hair was laying or styling. Once that excuse no longer worked during the winter, she switched to telling me that "your hair is changing." I'm sorry, but my hair did not suddenly change after 6 months, it was the quality of my haircuts that changed. 4) After months of subpar cuts, Brittney gave me another haircut that I wasn't happy with, and I let her know how I felt. Her response was to immediately call the owner and ask that I no longer be serviced at the salon. I'm disappointed that not only did I receive poor haircuts for well over six months, but when I finally expressed my frustration, the solution was simply to stop serving me as a client. I never raised my voice at Brittney, or used foul language, or did anything that could be conceived as inappropriate - I just simply expressed dissatisfaction which Brittney did not want to deal with. Honestly speaking, I don't think Brittney is a bad hairstylist, but I do genuinely think she lacks the experience and attention to detail needed for men's haircuts. The owner even mentioned that men's cuts aren't something Brittney does frequently and that she only sees a handful of male clients per week. if you're looking for a quality men's cut, please avoid Brittney Rubac and this salon.

Mixed review and 3 star rating for a very specific reason. I found this place online and their…read morewebsite offers a list of spa services available. Their site lists a hydrafacial which I've had before at a different spa but Serenity has a price listed for $115 and the cheapest I've ever found was $180. I was needlessly elated to find such a price but the reason is because you are not getting a real hydrafacial. First off, this is patented technology and Serenity has a knock off machine Aqua Touch or something to that extent. This is a clear violation to state you offer a trademarked and patented technology but yet their spa is not authorized for such or even owns one. By the time I was situated and she's about to start the so called Hydrafacial, I was extremely disappointed when I glanced over my shoulder to see some knock off machine that was not clearly the authentic Hydrafacial machine that is patented. I didn't want to make a fuss about it or dispute it so I continued with my facial and paid for such but this experience deserves to be a review to let others know what they are truly getting. This was my first time here as I stated and it was a very beautiful and calming environment but I specially went there to get a Hydrafacial and they don't offer such. My skin looked nice but not nearly the same result as with the real machine. Please change your website to truly reflect the name of something else but you can not state you offer something when that name is trademarked and you don't own the actual patented technology. Call it a water facial or aqua facial but things are trademarked for a reason.
