About

Elements McLean was founded by father and daughter Irving Russo and Lauren Ramey. Services are grouped into cuts, color, styling and treatments.

The salon uses Surface hair products. According to Surface, the brand was established in 2008 and is headquartered in Saskatchewan, Canada, and it describes itself as the number one salon choice. The salon's stated aim is environmentally sound practices and natural, organic products. It also carries Schwarzkopf's Igora, Essensity and Vibrance color lines.

New guests are asked to call to book a first appointment, which leaves extra time for the initial consultation. A complimentary 30-minute connect session is offered before a first service or with the first appointment. Email reminders go out two days before each visit, and changes or cancellations need 24 hours' notice. Clients are encouraged to book their next appointment before leaving.

If a problem comes up within two weeks of an appointment, clients who call can return for a correction at no charge. Retail products that do not work for a client can be refunded in full.

Opening times run from 10 am to 3 pm on Tuesdays, 9 am to 8 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9 am to 7 pm on Fridays, and 7 am to 5 pm on Saturdays. Balayage is charged at $150 an hour. The bridal package costs $235 and covers a trial on a separate day plus upstyling on the wedding day.

The salon's stated aim is environmentally sound practices and the use of natural, organic products.
