I made an account specifically to review this salon & Marlee Gamble as a stylist. She is absolutely AMAZING, every cut color and style I have asked her to do comes out identical to the pictures I bring in. After relocating to Charleston a few years ago I needed to find a new stylist & salon and after shopping around I can confirm she is one of the absolute best. See her if you want to leave the salon and instantly get 15 compliments on your hair right after! Yes, she really is that good. Just something to note, the salon I'm reviewing is the one located in the Belmond Charleston hotel and you can book by calling the hotel or (843) 724-7200. Thanks again Marlee! :) read more

Just went to my first appointment at this salon with Tamsyn. I recently moved to Charleston and she was referred to me by a friend. Glad I listened and gave her a shot because I am in absolute love with my hair cut!! It is so hard to get a shorter cut without it making me look like a teenager, and Tamsyn was able to give me a cut that is trendy and sophisticated. Can't wait to go back! read more

I love Zsolt! Had another fun and amazing hair afternoon with him. Ended up leaving the cut and color up to him which is really fun and relaxing to do; I don't have to think or make decisions. I am very pleased and love what he did! I always do! read more

Elysium Salon - Before - Hair Salons Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

See all

Since I usually keep my hair up or curly, it took me a few weeks to notice that one side was a couple inches longer than the other. I tried to contact the stylist who did the original work but she didn't respond so I ended up going to the store where Maggie helped me out. She did a great job and I recommended a coworker go in and have her hair done by Maggie. It looks great! I am docking a star because it is difficult contact the folks at Elysium. Most of the time your calls go to voicemail. They don't have a front desk so not sure if they have a dedicated receptionist. read more

Marlee Gamble, it's the only name you need to know. I have traveled the world and have had color by many top stylist however I can truly say no one has the gift that Marlee possesses. My hair has never looked so natural and healthy. It's like she literally turned back the hands of time. Anyone can add different colors and depts to your hair but it takes a true artist to make it 100 percent believable. Thank you Marlee for giving me a Perfect Crown to wear! I also wanted to note that her care to take the time to listen to what I really wanted and her professionalism was such a welcome change. Being new to Charleston I think I finally have found my piece of the puzzle to make Charleston home. read more

Bizarre customer service. The business currently lists their phone number and indication to text, so when messages went unanswered for a week, I messaged their social media and they booked my service and twice confirmed my service there. Then, 10 days after the confirmation, hours before the appointment, the owner and person I booked the service with sent a message, "See you tomorrow at 10:30:)" which I read in a blur of nighttime routines with kiddos. It did not request a third confirmation. Imagine my surprise that the owner was not present for my service when I arrived, to be further shocked that the co-owner told me it was to be expected because his partner, "didn't hear from me". Strange, I thought that the responsibility of appointments falls on the business owner. Not how this business works. I was told by the co-owner that the business does not check voice mails or texts, that, "Of course [salon owner name] was not going to be there when you didn't reply to her message 1 hour ago" and, "She wasn't going to come in to look at an empty chair if you weren't here." Read: Ma'am, your confirmation wasn't good enough. He actually told me, "We had no idea who you are." Right, you are in retail, you work for the public. Advise: If you are a potential new client, understand that they don't really want your business: "We should stop taking new clients. You broke the code somehow [in booking your service.]" I told you, bizarre. I would have given 2 stars is because the owner actually *did* finally get back to me to book the appointment in the first place, however, when I was told by the co-owner that I the customer was unprofessional having replied in the booking messages, "Cool" after the owner had written, "Gotcha in" solidified my poor experience, as if being stood up by the service provider wasn't poor enough. All I wanted was a simple hair cut, and instead I got an earful of what I did wrong with communication and TMI of their business and a day completely turned upside down. PS this is my review for the Charleston SC location, specifically in Mt Pleasant, SC. read more

I don't really have a rating since I haven't actually been to this Salon but I do know they recently hired someone who just walked out of her previous Salon without contacting her clients to let them know. She was very rude and didn't care about her customers or if they were happy with their hair. I walked out so unhappy with my hair from Someone who considered herself a "master stylist." All I'm saying is watch out for Liz, she doesn't care one bit about her customers and is so rude. I'm thankful she walked out of Allure because in my opinion, she had no idea or just didn't care as a stylist. Plus she would argue with her superiors in front of customers. Just very unprofessional. So for the people who use this Salon, just giving you a heads up. read more

Love this place! I have pretty simple hair, I get a cut every 4 months or so. I go to Steven and he's awesome. The place is clean and nice, easy to park and I'm in and out quickly. Steven is awesome, super friendly and does a fantastic job on my hair and always discusses beforehand on what I want to do and whether or not I'm gonna change it up a bit. The price is super reasonable (I'm from NY and used to paying so much more) and Steven is always really accommodating for appointments, even if it's last minute. Would definitely recommend Elysium and Steven! read more

I moved from DC to the Charleston area last summer and it took me a year to find the right hair stylist. I am admittedly OCD about my blunt bangs and blonde color, and Elizabeth nailed both, plus she has a really positive attitude which I find refreshing. I brought in a picture from a magazine of the look I wanted and she got it right. She really took her time and made sure my hair was fantastic. The salon is fresh and clean, they offer you beverages, magazines, whatever you need to relax. I've been to really expensive salons that didn't compare to my experience there. If you're looking for a talented stylist, I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth or Peter! read more

Amazing!!! Charlotte Belk and her team took care of my wedding and everything turned out beautifully! As the bride I was ecstatic about my hair & I would highly recommend them. read more

This review is for the one in West Ashley. I walked in at 3 pm for my appointment and was told to sit in the waiting area. As I was waiting, a women came in hysterically crying and told a male stylist she wasn't happy. He responded with "I told you what you needed done." I was completely shocked and should have taken that as a clue to leave. Forty-five minutes later, I went to the counter and said I was still waiting, and they said they'd be right with me. An HOUR later, Tasha came over and walked me to the station. She knew I was unhappy and responded with "It's not uncommon to wait in a salon, if you have somewhere to be you don't need to keep the appointment." I sat down anyways and got a full foil, which she in turn tried to charge me $165 which included a hair cut and blow dry, neither of which I got. I told her I was going home to shower and didn't want a style. The only reason I even gave this 2 stars is that my hair came out decent, but this was not worth the experience and 3.5 hours that I was there. Stay away, there are much better salons in town. read more

Followed Zsolt here when he switched salons. Much better space with great light, cozy and relaxing wash stations, not stuffy at all. Highly recommend Zsolt - best stylist I've gone to since I moved to Charleston +10 years ago. read more

My husband found Elysium salon for me on the "Best of Charleston" list and boy do they deserve their place at the top! I have been a client for a few months now and have never been happier. It's almost like Andy reads my mind with the color and the cut is always awesome! I'm glad I found him and the team at Elysium. All the stylist there are always so friendly and engaging with great attitudes and I love the decor! Always a very comfortable atmosphere!. I recommend Elysium to my most discerning friends with confidence. read more
