I have been getting my hair done by Kyrsten, the owner of Elan Monet, for almost a decade now. I literally follow her to every salon that she's gone to - she's that good. I was so happy to hear that she finally opened up her own salon. Of course, I was one of the first appointments after the city opened back up after the COVID-19 pandemic. I wasn't sure what I was going to get with all of the extra precautions with social distancing but one thing for sure was, I was keeping my appointment no matter what the conditions were! When I arrived, I was so happy to see Kyrsten had the perfect setting - upscale yet cozy accommodations - it's like you are going to a private hair stylist with all of the focus is on you without 5 people staring at you as every hair strand is washed, blow dried or you laugh aloud. The private setting matches up perfectly with the service you get - upscale and according to high standards. Kyrsten has managed my unpermed lion's mane from 2 inches all the way down to the middle of my back. She's put many colors of the rainbow in my hair and everything from perms to keratin. I've never had a full weave before but I believe she did a few extensions many years ago. I can't believe I forgot to mention this earlier but her cuts are worth waiting for. She knows hair and how to cut it to yield the results you want - and doesn't cut off more than she needs to. Anyhow, she's great and I'm so happy that she found a salon that matches with the high quality service she provides. If you're looking for hair solutions and want to walk away with healthy looking hair every time - look no further! read more

So this weekend marked the reopening of hair salons in the area and who knew what to expect?!?! I'd heard of salons operating under limited services - cuts only, no blow drys, first come/ first serve appointments, etc. I needed color and a potential cut and was pleasantly surprised (and grateful) KYRSTEN, my stylist of many years, recently opened Elan Monet Salon and now offered just what I needed and more! Admidst following strict COVID 19 protocol, KYRSTEN delivered exceptionally quick, professional, courteous, compassionate and personalized service. And, I actually had a moment to RELAX while getting my hair done today. The business is new, but Kyrsten is a very knowledgeable and experienced hair care specialist and cosmetologist who is well trained for all hair types. Over the years, she has educated me about caring for and embracing my naturally curly hair. I am very excited about the new vegan, plant-based hair care line of products she is using and offering for sale at her new business. Today I chose to air-dry my hair. While wet, it still showed off my new color, had lots of natural curl definition, no frizz and Gray, All Gone! Check Krysten out and ask about the LOVE "potion" of products she uses on my hair. Dont delay- word of her high level of service will get out soon, especially in this new norm of "haircuts only-no blow drys"! ( Please be sure to mention this YELP review sent you.) Enjoy!! read more

This salon was recommended by a friend for the Cezanne Keratin treatment. Kyrsten returned my call very soon and I was scheduled within a few days. She explained the treatment to me and told me what to expect. The location was easy to find. She was ready and waiting for me at my exact appt time. Her space is modern and clean. She wore a mask during the entire appt (3.5 hours) and used disposable capes and towels. Everything went exactly as described. After the treatment my hair was soft and smooth like never before! I was very pleased with how it turned out. After the treatment, my hair has been easy to maintain and I've had to use minima products. It has been 6 days since my appt and today I washed my hair. My drying time went from 45 minutes to less than 15! And my flat iron time went from 20 minutes to 5 minutes. Only has to use one heat protectant product and my hair is still just as smooth as when I left her salon. Very pleased and will return when I need another treatment. Highly recommend. read more

Kyrsten has done my hair for years. There is no one I would trust more. When I heard she was opening her own salon, I was ecstatic! She is awesome with color, Keratin treatments and cuts! People always say they want my hair, but it's all thanks to Kyrsten. The salon is very comfortable and welcoming. They use high quality plant-based products on my hair which I feel good about. In the past I didn't buy products from salons, but I love the ones I've bought from Elan Monet. Scheduling appointments is easy, and Kyrsten is always considerate of my time by getting me in on time and out in a timely manner. I have a lot of hair and she works hard to make sure that it looks perfect before I leave. The prices are very affordable and comparable to other salons in town that I have been to, but the results are so much better! Thank you Kyrsten and Elan Monet ! read more

Kyrsten and her team are amazing. From the REFRESHING hydrofacial by Brittany to everytime Kyrsten does my hair, I leave not only with knowledge and tips but definitely with a confidence boost! This time she introduced to me tape in extensions (I never even knew this existed I just knew I wanted extensions at some point) she always educates me to make sure I know what would work best for me, and she takes what I'm thinking and makes it reality. From the color. To theyl style and length of the extensions I LOVE IT!! Everyone has given me compliments and to top it off it looks s natural and super easy to maintain with the simple instructions she provided! So glad I found this salon and decided to schedule a few months back! #lifetimeclient read more

I could not wait to see Kirsten at her new Elan Monet hair salon to fix my curly hair , which had been damaged by bad shampoo and bad choices I have made for my hair.

Getting my hair done can be a chore, however, Kyrsten has always made my experience smooth and satisfying. She always discusses what I want done thoroughly before starting to ensure that my needs are met and asks throughout how it looks and feels. She is the first hairdresser that makes me feel very respected. Above all she is talented, down to earth and affordable. As long as she has a salon, she has a customer. read more
