Elements McLean

"Lauren is awesome and her team is just as kind, when my fiancee and I go in for our appointments. My fiancee and I are both curly headed, who cannot trust just anyone to handle our hair care. That being said, it is why we both highly recommend the team here! Lauren is thoughtful in the products she recommends and giving advice on styling/managing/caring for our curly hair on the daily."

"This was my first time at elements and I had an amazing experience! Sophia was my stylist and she was so friendly and easy to talk to! I got to take home one of their organic products and I can’t wait to use it!"

"Amazing experience - never had such a comprehensive assessment of my hair health and scalp health - got the scalp facial and single process color, also given recommendations for psoriasis for my scalp and my damaged hair - bought several of their surface products (the shampoo conditioner called awaken and their bassu oil and bassu leave in spray as well as awaken serum) all have helped my hair health and scalp health in the last 3/4 weeks I’ve been using them. Traveled from columbia MD to come here and will keep coming here even if it means I have to sit on 495 to get here!"

"I've been a client at Elements for over 7 years, but I'm writing this review tonight because I feel like a first-time customer again! From my very first consultation in 2013 (when I confessed how much I hate my fine, flat hair) until today, Lauren has always taken the time to understand where I am and to focus all her efforts on helping me walk out the door a more confident woman than I walked in. Today, after over 5 months away from Elements (thanks to COVID), I walked in with grey roots, hair that had been bleached to some shade of blonde by the sun and generic products, and straggly ends that needed to be cut. While keeping all necessary safety precautions in place, Lauren made me feel immediately better as she planned what subtle differences we could make in my color and how we'd be cutting off a couple of inches right away. By the time I walked out of the salon, there was a noticeable shift in my demeanor--even my husband (of more than a decade) declared he felt like he was out to dinner with a new woman! As I passed a mirror getting ready for bed, I couldn't help but acknowledge the truth: the magic Lauren worked with my hair has made me feel confident about my appearance in a way that I haven't in months. Professional always and very safety focused in light of COVID today, Elements has, once again, been a place that makes me a happier, better version of myself."
