Gabe the owner knows what he's doing. A kind and personable stylist with understated confidence and complete know-how (decades of exp) took me with an hours notice-- filling a cancellation (I guess some good luck there) to fix my hair- I have thick, wavy/ curly hair (currently waging war with hormones) but ona good day is too difficult for even high priced salons to get right- took him but a moment to look at me, and know what needed to be done- with a few gentle snips he transformed a heavy awkward pile of hair (resembling a 80s news anchor) into a cute- maybe even mildly sexy (with make up on) short pixi-ish shag- that made the best of my waves- framing my heavy hormone face into someone I recognize again- just shy of my 46th birthday. at $45 a haircut in this day where high prices are often commanded amidst far less talent to support-Gabe and his salon- Elements- is a rarity- and I would venture to call it: Placerville's Best Salon I will be back- you can count on that- Thank You Gabe read more

I've been going to Gabe at Elements Hair Salon for over 20 years. He does absolute amazing blonde! I love this salon so much. Easy relaxed atmosphere and welcoming staff. Throughout the years I have had times where I have had to get my hair done elsewhere and one thing with Gabe is he can do my blonde, and my long hair never turns out dry or damaged feeling....I honestly don't know how he does it. I always leave the salon feeling beautiful and super blonde just like I love. My hair is healthy which is difficult to maintain being heavily highlighted every six weeks and this is all thanks to Gabe's skill and knowledge. Gabe takes really great care of me.... however I would feel comfortable seeing anyone in his salon. They are all very educated and knowledgeable. I cannot say enough good things about this salon and their staff. Amazing business for sure. 100/10 stars! read more

We moved back to town from Washington about 2 1/2 years ago. I had a very difficult time finding a salon that I liked. That is...until I came across this really nice salon. I had a haircut with Gabe and I was so impressed with the entire experience. The salon itself is very comfortable, clean and has a great vibe. They play really great music, sort of a like coffee house mix. The salon is always spotless. Gabe is an amazingly talented hair specialist. After my first appointment, I started bringing my husband and children. This is now "our place" and we will continue to see Gabe forever. I do not know the other stylists but if Gabe likes their work, I would bet they are really good at what they do. One of the best things about this salon is that it is not expensive to get a wash, cut and style. I want to say that he charges around $35!!!! I honestly can't say enough great things about this salon. I would suggest to give it a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Loved it!! Had a bit of scheduling conflict but they were able to fix it without a flinch, took care of me and gave me a really good hair cut!! Thank you!!! Definitely coming back! read more

The staff was very kind and respectful but the lady who did my hair sort of rushed it i have one side with extreme layers and the other side that looks smooth. Even some parts are longer or shorter than the rest. read more

Completely unprofessional! Made an appt for color job that was coordinated by your salon (which had nothing available for almost 2 wks). Arrived on time for the awaited 2 wk appt & stylist & mngr of salon had given the appt away to someone else they felt like working on in the moment!!! Then to add insult to injury, stylist responds w/ a lackadaisical apology & a snide comment regarding past color job' -- which in her unprofessional & terrible memory failed to realize she had done the past color job herself!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR look for a more professional & 'apparently' a better colorist than you will find here. read more

I always wanted to try it lightning up my hair but was afraid to. I discovered Gabe the owner of elements hair salon online and loved the positive reviews about him. So I made an appointment and went up and got my hair done. Not only was he fun to sit and chat with while he was working with me but he did a fantastic job. My husband loved the results as do I and I am headed back in a week for my overdue 3 months check up. I strongly recommend elements and especially Gabe if you are looking for a colorist who knows what they're doing. read more

Hello everyone! My mother got her hair cut, colored and styled by Michelle at Elements Hair Salon yesterday. She was ecstatic with the results of her hair, so we booked me an appointment!

I just went today 5/16/2019 for a cut, style & color. It was my first time visiting Elements Salon. I had the BEST STYLIST Michelle!! She was so easy to talk to & was very open to looking at pictures, that I brought in. Michelle was just awesome & did the cut, style & colors I wanted. I chose a very edgy cut w/ chunks of blonde & some strands of darker shades. After she rinsed my hair, I could already see all the beautiful colors shining through! Before drying!! My daughter came w/ me, & told me, I looked like a different person for the better, bc my hair was a complete mess be4 & I agreed! Michelle has been doing this for 30 yrs! She is very detailed oriented & takes pride in every step!! She is now my hair stylist for life! I had so many awful experience's prior at other salons. It was very refreshing to meet Michelle today. Warm, personable & caring! True to her craft! read more

Elements Hair Salon - Thank you Michelle!! Your the best!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Placerville, California

I wish I could give zero stars. I thought I did my research into the salon. It is telling there is no social media. I showed your stylist the picture I was trying to match and the the amount of hair I wanted removed. I asked for 3 and she took 6 inches off. I asked no matter what not to have straw yellow and orange hair and that's what I got with a ton of breakage. She used a curling iron on my wet hair. I looked it up and I guess that's bad, too. I paid 125 bucks to walk away from your salon after 2 years of growth looking like a scarecrow. I couldn't figure out why my scalp burned for 12 hours after I left. She didn't wash out the dye all the way. I am in a wedding in 2 months and now I have to pay another salon 230 bucks for a correction and who knows what else if more of my hair falls off. Karri, it takes a lot to let someone walk out looking like that. I made sure to think and wait to make sure I was not overreacting because reviews matter to people like me. I have cried more today than I care to admit and I have no idea what I will have to pay for my hair to look semi decent for the wedding. read more

Had my poorly cut mousy hair done by Michele last Saturday. My advice would be to RUN, don't walk if you want the very best haircut you've ever had! She's a master with the scissors in her hands. Returned today and she put 2 different color mixtures together for highlights in my hair. I now have an awesome hair cut with beautiful colors blended through my hair... Thank you so much Michelle! read more

I was searching for a new hair stylist. I called Elements, told the person on the phone about my hair and he recommended Michelle. I saw her today. She was very friendly.

I called in advance to make an appointment with Jenn, my regular hair stylist. She no longer works there. I am truly disappointed. I express my disappointment when making a reservation and ask for a recommendation. But they don't assign an "experienced" stylist, I am put on "next available." So I feel disappointed. read more

Gabe has styled my hair since 2013. He is fabulous. I make an appointment every time I am back for a visit.

Jen from Elements hair salon was great to work with for my wedding hair and makeup. She put braids in my hair and all of by bridesmaid and they looked great. I loved my makeup - Natural but something special for the big day. She is really personal and fun to talk to during the process. She gave me tips to ensure I was prepared for the up-do like ensuring my hair was dry and buying waterproof mascara. I really liked that she was mobile and could visit us at the wedding site to do our hair. It was so nice to be at the venue relaxing instead of driving to a hair salon. My braid was a big hit for the wedding as the photos will show! Thanks for making my day so very special! read more

I recently got my hair cut here and was not pleased by the results. I asked for a layered shoulder length cut, even had pictures. Instead I got an uneven blunt cut with long slanted bangs. I part my hair on the side and she cut it from a middle part. I'm just very unhappy with the results, so I'm going to have it redone at a different place. They are, however, very nice there.... Despite the bad hair cut. read more

I've had Gabe cut my hair for many years now. He's an absolute genius. It's pretty rare to go in and say with absolute trust, "I don't know what I want, help me," and have it turn out well, but I've never had a bad cut there. Great for color, cuts, anything! read more

Heather is Awesome! I am a first time and now long time client of Heathers. I had a vision and she made it come to life. Heather listened and heard what I was asking for and was able to come up with a technique to execute it perfectly. My cut and color are amazing! She made me feel very at ease, especially as a future bride, by coming up with a plan and explaining it to me for my follow up appointments prior to the wedding. I would recommend Heather to anyone who wants to look and feel Great! Thank you for this wonderful experience! Becky read more

Bad experience with Tiffany today. She is flat and dull with no personality and had no interaction with me at all. after she started working on me she had to get up multiple times to answer the phone. Long wait to get her to finish me. Finally when she said "all done" I had to ask her to use a curling iron on to give me a more finished look. she seemed put out and really had no idea what I was there for--- thin hair. She use the blow dryer in excess and it burned me. My ears were burning multiple times. Poor Tiffany. I am sure she doesn't represent what the store owner had in mind when he scheduled the apt for me. I gave her a $25 tip but I hated to have to do that. I am going somewhere else next time. Sorry, but true! read more

The businesses in Placerville have all been trying very hard to be safe and respectful during this pandemic. I and my family try to support these businesses during this difficult time. Elements, on the other hand, makes no effort and exhibits no respect. They do not wear masks to cut your hair unless you insist. I have been going to Elements for about a year and pay the $30+ though I could go somewhere else for half that cost. I am a senior and I am more at risk so at my last visit I questioned why they did not take Covid more seriously. I was told they did not want to cut my hair and asked me to leave. Admittedly I did get a bit miffed and stormed out. The owner then yelled after me "F.Y. Move back to Santa Cruz". ? Really ! ? Most businesses in our community have shown respect for their patrons and the serious situation we find ourselves in. Elements, unfortunately, is not one of those. read more

Seven years later.... still loving this salon. I've moved out of town and I still travel back to Placerville to see Jen, Gabe & Michelle. There are a couple new stylist there too. I love the Aveda products, very high quality. read more

I'm surprised to see there aren't any reviews on here. I went for an eyebrow way by Jenn. I have been waxing my eyebrows for over 20 years and I have never been satisfied. I'm always getting these lame excuses like 'your eyebrows aren't even' or 'your eyebrows will grow into the arch'..mmmok. So I went to Jenn and I must say my eyebrows ROCK! I am so happy I found her!! Totally recommend! read more

Just had a facial from Deb, their esthetician - my skin is amazing, I look like a new woman! She was so helpful in suggesting what treatments would be best for my skin and helped me establish a new skin care routine when I'm at home. I'm so grateful I found her to help me with my skin. The services were high end and very affordable compared to big spas. read more

I really like coming here and have my eyebrows and hair done by Jen. She is very sweet and talented. In addition, she helps me pick out new Aveda make-up and hair products. I enjoy her and the rest of the staff. read more

Horrible experience. Gabe may have been okay once, but he has certainly declined in skills. Had been going there for years, so I gave him several opportunities to return my hair from a blonde experiment back to original brunette. However, he kept doing it over as blonde, never seeming to listen to me or look at the picture of an obvious brunette color. Try not to go to this guy in late afternoon, when his deodorant appears to have worn off. read more

I have been going to elements since it opened in Placerville probably 30 years ago. I generally have Gabe do my hair and he is absolutely great. Not only does he make a person look good when they leave his shop, me makes them feel good. A more personable individual would be hard to fine. On occasion I have some of the other staff at Elements do my hair. They are all top notch. I've been meaning to write this review forever as I love this salon and if you haven't been there you really should check it out! read more

My husband and I saw the Debbie for microdermabrasion and facials. She did a great job - both of us noticed brighter skin the next day. She was informative, friendly, and was able to recommend products for each of us based on our skin types. She also waxed my eyebrows; I normally get ingrown hairs or bumps when getting waxed, but I didn't even get any redness where she waxed! We loved her and look forward to seeing her again for ongoing skin care! read more
