Went in to get my hair styled for a wedding on Wendesday. I had the pleasure of chatting with Shirley the owner while Gretchen worked on my hair. It was a great experience and my hair came out amazing! It withstood the rains we had all day for the outdoor wedding. Thank you so much for the experience! read more

Elevation Salon & Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - colorado springs, Colorado

I've been going to Shirley Stratton for over a year and have been consistently impressed by her coloring, cutting and styling skills. Shirley never rushes and is meticulous every step of the way. I get compliments from friends and strangers (even when I don't "do" my hair!) and have referred coworkers and friends to this salon. I had a fabulous hairdresser in Los Angeles/Pasadena for many years and he would agree that Shirley is a talented expert and one of Colorado's best kept secrets. Note that the salon recently moved about five minutes south (from Monument to Colorado Springs) and is now off of Northgate Blvd, across from all the new shops and restaurants. (CB Potts, Bass Pro Shop, etc.) Elevation Salon is really close to Flying Horse Ranch, Air Force Academy, Compassion International and Briargate, making it convenient for anyone who lives or works in these areas. I actually like this new location better as it is close to Starbucks, which means I can get a hot beverage in the drive-thru and still make it my hair appointment on time after work. :) read more

Shirley makes my hair look as healthy as it did 50 years ago before hair color. And her cuts always lead to good hair days whether I leave it natural and wavy or blow and straighten it That's always my measure of a great cut. I leave her salon feeling great the way I do when I spend time with my besties and family. Love this place and would never choose another salon. read more

This salon took my last post down. I want people to Know they don't stand by their word. I had bought a coupon book they solicited at my place of business. Since then I misplaced it, and according to their manager they have NO RECOLLECTION of me ever buying it, and I had to have coupon book to make an appointment to get the deal. I just wanted a simple trim! And thought I was getting a deal, but it was a scam. read more

Shirley is fantastic at figuring iut the perfect cut and color combo for each person"s face shape, style and lifestyle.

I walked in for an eyebrow wax. I was brought back fairly quickly for a walk in but I should have waited to go to the place I normally get my eyebrows done. My eyebrows look like they belong to two different people now! After I said I just wanted my eyebrows cleaned up she insisted we "add an arch" after much hesitation and her persistent insisting I said sure assuming it would be very little change. One eyebrow now looks like a ladle (yes, like a soup ladle) while she didn't even wax any hair out of the other. I didn't want to say anything in the shop in case it made things worse, so I paid my $28 (that included lip also) and left, crying in the car because I'm very emotional about my eyebrows. (Yes, vain, I know) Overall DO NOT get your eyebrows done here! read more

I am a 30 year-old female who has always taken pride in my appearance. Before committing to a hair stylist, I always do some information gathering for identifying consistencies in quality service, education and overall outcome with experience. My hair is thin, brittle, fragile, fine... let's call it, "mous-y", if you will. Therefore, I need a professional who can tend to my tresses, carefully. Upon my arrival, I was greeted and consulted with stylist who assured me that what I was wanting was possible and that she had the product in stock. Knowing that I was returning to Kansas for my grandmother's funeral. I asked for a circa late 2000 Reese Witherspoon, Plain Jane bob- no angles, no layers. I asked for the color to be a smoky, gray/platinum blonde. Not only did the stylist over process my hair (left in for well over an hour as she tended to other clients only checking on me twice...). Feeling itchy at the time, she gave me the tip pick end of a comb to scratch my scalp with. Knowing that I would never do such a thing to such vulnerable skin, I sat through the chemicals eventually causing burns on my scalp, appearing about 24-36 hours later. Needless to say, I went back to Kansas for my poor, dear grandmother's funeral resembling Justin Timberlake, circa 1999. Over time, my hair began to break off around the entirety of my crown's base even upon using product and consulting with an Eric Fisher and Aveda representative/stylist. I'm used to paying good money for my hair. I have no problem justifying this expense. I feel it is important as it is a reflection of, not only your outwardly appearance, but it sheds light upon your overall well-being. After about 6 months of trying to let my hair and scalp heal, my hair style is currently resembling that of a brittle hay stack upon Joe Dirt's head... I have a frizzy mullet and for the first time am embarrassed to go out in public. Until I go and see my new, reputable stylist, I will be donning headwear. I can empathize with those who have sufficed to cutting their own hair upon having a similar experience. I wish this upon not even my worst enemy and I would highly recommend looking into your options for a salon whose education is up to date and whose reputation and work can be commended upon at least three people!! Lastly, I do declare that I am not one who makes reviews. I read them and value them greatly. I feel upon my experience, it was pertinent to post this review, even if my experience was six months ago. I will be one of those women who, from here on out, will pay $125 for a haircut. Call it what you will, but I'd rather have a Chanel haircut than a Joe Dirt one. (Steps off soap box, drops mic.) read more
