5 stars for Betty who always makes my hair look great. Thankful for her as a post partum mom with little time for self care. She is wonderful with my “lived-in blonde” - but is also fantastic with vivids! 0 stars for Darcy, the receptionist, who was rude to me because I had my baby with me (because he was babbling…

I just went to Clare to have a cut and color with highlights. She was incredible, I'm happier with my color than I've ever been! I gave her some direction, and let her have a little room to make decisions and I couldn't be happier! I've found my new stylist!

Went in to have my money piece roots touched up. Added more hair to make it wider. I noticed later that I had some very yellow spots. Called and explained what I saw, then the manager was put on the phone. She said maybe the toner was probably not the right one. I said that no toner was used. She made…

Always the best service. From check in to cuts and color, Elysian Salon and Spa is the best in KC. Tiffany Lusk is my stylist, and she turns me from drab to dazzling every time. Not enough ❤️ to go around for her.

Our whole family has been going to Kyla for at least 10 years. We followed her from a previous business. We like Elysian much better and we're all loyal fans of Kyla. We all have different hair (texture, thickness, curly/straight, hairstyles) and she does a great job on everyone. We've used her for color, cut, nails. And she's a pleasure to talk to!
