Elan Skin

I went and saw Emily (nickname Hoomies) and she styled me to the 9's. She new I was in a hurry but did not rush, super efficient. Thanks for everything Emily! Tim. PS, I love your face. more

Emily takes the time to determine what it is you want instead of just doing her own thing like a lot of other stylist have done with me in the past. Watch it boys, she is skilled with a straight edge! Love the cut and style. Thanks Ems! more

Experience ELLE. Fashion. Elegance. Artistry. Grace. ...just a few words that describe MY hairstylist. My last cut was my favorite, but for some reason that is how I always feel. I feel like she puts all of her energy into creating something fresh, new and stylish each time I see her. Her creative energy flows through her fingers and I don't know how she does it but she does. I have salt and pepper hair that is both coarse and wiry. I hate the curls that are in it and my hair is so stubborn. This past appointment, Elle suggested we do a brazilian blowout. I know my wife and her friends have Elle do this on their hair regularly and I was a little hesitant but I trusted her opinion. IT WAS AWESOME. No wave, no stubbornness, goodbye cowlick! I love it and will have her do this on a regular basis. I also appreciate that she told me to watch out for shampoos that have the ingredient Sodium Laureth Sulfate as it strips the hair of the properties that make it straight. What other stylist gives a client this kind of information--and why would she fill me in on this kind of information since it would make me come back sooner to have it done again? She recommended a new Elan product and it is awesome. I always trust her opinions because she can back it up with hard facts. She knows her stuff! If you want a stylist who cares about the condition of your hair, who is fearless in recommending what would be best for your hair and who knows what style will be best for your head, GO TO ELLE. I love this Elan Hair and their top stylist, Elle. more

Im a guy who has thick Polynesian hair that is really hard to style. I've gone to plenty of salons to see what can be done and I always end up leaving wishing that I'd just cut it myself and saved the time and money. A good friend from church recommended Elle and that she cuts according to each individuals hair type and style. I will never go to anyone else. She knew exactly how to handle my very thick wavy Polynesian hair and I love how it looks. My wife also sees her now and refuses to see anyone else. more

So I was originally from Nashville and always went to Elle for all my hair needs, First I LOVE Elan Salon. Very posh-y and professional feeling. I moved about an hour and half away from Nashville sadly and tried other salons in my area. After 3 different salons and 6 do-overs (trust me, I'm not the picky type either) I decided it is SOOO worth my 1.5 hour drive to see Elle. #1, she listens and TOTALLY gets what I am looking for, #2, She does EXACTLY what I am looking for, but will take it just to the edge past my safe requests where I walk out feeling renewed/revived and a bit like I just had a makeover done. Bangs have been an issue for me and when other people cut them, they never compare to how Elle does. I feel so stylish and cute and they fall perfectly no matter how I blow dry them. Other places ended up making me look like a sweaty teenager with bangs stuck to my forehead. She has magic in her scissors I swear! She listens so well and i just feel so pretty after she is done with me. I am dead serious about going totally out of my way to go see her. I am just afraid of the day when she becomes a celebrity stylist and moves to Hollywood. Then I really will have to commute :) Thanks ELLE! MUAH GO SEE HER! more

Denise is the best stylist in Nashville !! more

Denise is the best stylist I have had in years. Her cut and color are always exactly what I am looking for; she listens to my opinions and always balances my wishes with her expertise. I always walk out of Elan happy...even better, her cuts grow out really well, so I am happy with my hair even between appointments. more

Denise has been my go to stylist for about a year now. My wife loves how Denise can change up my style, but still leaves me looking young and hip. more

I know most men don't like to spend much on their hair, but Denise is so worth the money! more

I feel that Denise is by far the only person that truly understands my hair! She is professional with a warm heart and smile. I was so sad when she moved away and now we've made up for lost time since she has been back. Love her! more

Denise did my hair for me when she lived in MS. I hated to see her move but everytime I come to Nashville, I make sure I have time to squeeze in a haircut from Denise!! She's the best!! Love her! more

I've been getting my hair done by Denise at ELAN since I moved to Nashville two years ago. I love the way she does my hair. In the past, I've had a hard time finding a stylist who listens to exactly what I want, and Denise always does. Highly highly recommended. more

Emily is a great asset to the salon. She is the type of person that meets you with a smile, while meeting and often exceeding your expectations. I would recommend her service to anyone!! more

Better yet, call this place and book yourself an appointment. Nothing compares to a great cut and color. Hello Spring... I'm ready. A big shout out to Denise for working me in at the last minute. Thanks girl! more

Fantastic service from start to finish at Elan. Denise is very professional and highly talented. Really enjoyed the salon. more

With Denise, I have found a stylist that I will be with forever. She knows hair and coloring so well that I don't even tell her what I what I want when I come in-- I let her tell me, and it always looks amazing.\r She also uses treatmeants that make my hair strong and healthy, something that is very important to me, since I have had plenty of damaging experiences in the past.\r If I ever move away from Nashville, I will commute back to Denise whenever it's time to get a cut or a highlight!!!!! more

I have had only the best experience with Denise. So much so that I'm almost hesitant to recommend her because I don't want to have trouble getting in to see her :). Seriously, she gives the best color and cut. She really listens and has managed to give me some amazing cuts with me bringing in pics of celebs and giving me exactly what I wanted but working with my hair as well. I can't recommend her highly enough. more

Denise Shadwick is absolutely the best at blondes! I've followed her from another salon to Elan, and when she moved back into town from a couple of years away, I returned to her again. She takes the time to put in a ton of foils, giving me a beautiful color that I've not gotten with anyone else. more

I love love love what Denise has done with my hair!!! Will definitely be going back again. more

This Girl is awesome....!!!!! So Glad she came back to Nashville. more
