Ella6

I have impossible, baby-​fine hair and can do very, very little with it that’s both attractive and easy (and I insist on easy first and foremost). But wow, Marissa knocked it out of the park for me today. She gave me exactly the cut and color I wanted and i couldn’t be happier. The capper was that I didn’t even have to restyle it when I got home — which I don’t recall ever in my life happening before. Absolute perfection! Smooch, Marissa! Oh! One other thing! When I got home after the appointment, my neighbor from across the street was in her yard and yelled across «Oooh, love your haircut!» That has also — NEVER IN MY LIFE — happened to me before. E.v.e.r.

Erica is so sweet and spent a good amount of time on my hair. I normally don’t see anyone else but my hair dresser in San Diego, but I found one in Tucson!
Hair turned out amazing and checked with me with every step of the process! Thank you Erica and see you soon! went from highlights to dark red and LOVE IT!

So it’s time to tell you again about the awsome treatment you get with all the stylist but my favorite is Nicole. I’m so pleased every time with the finshed style given. If you havent stopped in to make an appointment yet you should. Thanks again Nicole and Ella6.

Although I don’t currently live in Tucson, every time I need a haircut I shed a small tear thinking about haircuts that I used to get from Nicole. I have had many haircuts from a number of super high end places in San Francisco and no one has ever cut my hair as well as Nicole. There are times that I think about flying back to Tucson just to have her cut my hair.
The first time that I went there, we sat together for a few minutes and I explained what I was looking for and we went over some photos online and then she made the magic happen. Currently I spend $ 75 for a haircut in the Bay Area and it is no where near the quality that Nicole provided for ¹⁄₃ the price.
If you are a man and looking for a haircut that involves some style then I highly recommend Ella6 and Nicole.

I moved to Tucson a year and a half ago and had been to several salons before finding Marissa at Ella6. I have lots of dark, naturally curly hair that I wear straight. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but, when cut well, it’s gorgeous. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find someone who can cut my hair well. They don’t seem to understand that thinning it out to lighten up the bulk only makes my hair unmanageable with flyaways everywhere and no weight to counter the natural curl. Marissa GETS IT! I didn’t even need to explain my situation beyond «my hair’s been over texturized». And she’s amazing with color. I had a hard time articulating what I wanted for color, but she made sense of my gibberish and I have never loved my color this much. To top things off, she is engaging and fun to talk with… and I paid $ 100 less than what I paid for the same services at Gadabout with much better service and infinitely lovelier results.

So, I decided to try this salon based on the positive Unilocal reviews. I have medium length brownish auburn hair. I had a picture of lightened hair that I liked and the hair stylist (Erica) told me that it was a baylage and that it would be no problem to do that to my hair. Several hours later, she was done and honestly there was very little different about my hair other than fried orange ends. I had wanted a new cut as well, my just got a trim of my same tired style. I could tell that she was new and probably should have said something, but I still paid 160 $ for a hairstyle I am really not happy about.

I live in Phoenix, and came to Tucson for my sister’s wedding. I read all the great reviews for Ella6 and decided to try it out — I was not disappointed! Marissa turned my hair into a gorgeous creation that was exactly what I asked for.
She is very skilled at what she does and I was in and out in less than an hour. She made sure to ask me if I was happy along the way, and fixed 2 small things at the end that we both noticed. She made me very comfortable with voicing what I wanted.
The whole staff is friendly, the salon is clean and cute, and I LOVED my hair! I got so many compliments all night long! If I’m ever back in Tucson I’ll be back to see Marissa.

Love, love, love Marissa! I will never go anywhere else to get my hair done. All the employees are super friendly and you feel like you’re part of the crew! Thanks for my amazing style Marissa!

Just got my hair done by Nicole, and I’m beyond impressed with how my hair came out!
I was doing a drastic change. I went from long, medium blonde color with way too much re growth, to a platinum, above the shoulder bob with a lot of layers. Since it was going to be such a big change, I did a lot of research. I wanted to make sure I picked a salon and stylist that wouldn’t give me a boring cut, and could get my hair to the level blonde I wanted without damaging my hair too much. So, after finding Ella6 on Unilocal,and checking them out on Instagram, I chose them, and decided on Nicole.
Nicole is very sweet, and very good at what she does. She was very patient with all my questions, and gave me great input as well, helping me decide on my final choice. She explains everything she’s doing. I wouldn’t change a thing.
The salon is nice, good vibe, good music. The other stylists I met there were really nice as well. I’m so happy I found this place, I will definitely be back!

Beautiful Salon & so friendly! I had my hair cut by Desiree, she’s amazing. Definitely will be coming back!

Alexis is honestly one of the best stylists and salon owners in tucson. I am so picky about my cut and color, and she nails it every time. I will honestly never go to another salon, everyone here is so talented. I love this place!

I am so, so, so happy I found Ella6. Alexis was wonderful.
I really did my homework before making the leap from very-​long to kind-​of-​short hair. I was visiting Tucson and spent at least an hour reading reviews before settling on Ella6. Everything I read about them rang true.
Alexis listened attentively while I showed her a dozen photos of what I did and didn’t want in a hairstyle. I couldn’t have been in better hands. She was so easy to talk to — (sometimes at salons it seems like the stylist is just making distracted small talk). Alexis was so down-​to-​earth, on top of being an excellent stylist. She talked to me as we went, involving me in decisions about different sections and layers. She was willing to step outside the lines and cut one section in an unconventional way — fixing an issue no other stylist I’ve had has ever been willing or able to do. The haircut came out perfectly. I got exactly what I asked for and wanted. She invited me to come back after I’d styled it myself, if I found anything I wanted tweaked.
When I discovered my normal routine caused a weird flip on one side, she squeezed me in on a few hours notice and made my version perfect. In my book, this is six-​star service. The other staff were super-​friendly and welcoming. I felt the haircut was well-​worth the price.
I would recommend this place to any of my friends with no reservation.

I went here for a bridal party make-​up hair day, which we were luckily able to book sort of close to last minute. The staff is lovely and allowed us to bring our own food and champagne to have throughout the morning. In total, there were 5 of us and most of us got our make-​up and hair both done. None of us were disappointed!
I got airbrush make-​up, which I never have before and it looked really nice and held up well for the whole evening. I loved my hair! Which was done by Marissa, and although I brought several photos that had girls with far more hair than me, she made it work and gave me a lovely braided up-​do. It didn’t take long at all either.
Desiree was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job on my make-​up, even when I was a bit picky! I am not used to getting my make-​up done so I was a but put off at first, but it looked great in photos and in the evening. She really listened to me and worked hard to make me feel like she wanted me to look exactly how I wanted, which was entirely refreshing and rewarding.
Overall, would highly recommend them for hair/​make-​up for weddings!

first off– THIS PLACE ROCKS.
I have had many hair disasters with stylists, so I am very picky about where I go. My last lady overcharged and talked about nothing but drugs, so I knew it was time for a new stylist. I checked on Unilocal and while I saw other potential salon shops, I saw all the wonderful reviews on Ella6, and loved all the pictures– so I decided to try this place out.
The lady who answered the phone was super friendly, and got me in quickly. I told her I was going to fill in my blonde (I had major roots), and she told me that I would be with Nicole.
When I got to Nicole, I told her I wanted to switch it up and do something more difficult (a challenge, almost) — and go purple/​red and blonde. Nicole was WONDERFUL about my bold and spontaneous request! I have had stylists make fusses or not communicate, but Nicole was excited for the hair challenge, and told me what she was doing every step of the way. We almost planned it out like a road map. The colors we (or I should say SHE) mixed were wonderful, and did no damage on my hair. Even doing the super blonde part in my bangs– there was next to no damage– HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! She even colored my wefts to match my hair, which i made into clip ins.
I am faithful to Nicole and the wonderful Ella6 salon. Not only was the beautiful Nicole a sweet, professional, and talented stylist, but just a wonderful person overall!
If you are looking for a new place to go, and are hesitant and as picky as I– try this place out. I swear it will be worth it.

I usually only get my hair cut once every six months to a year, and mostly because I never really know what to do with my hair. After reading the reviews on Unilocal I decided to invest a little more than what I usually do in hopes that I could figure out something for it! I made an appointment with Marissa, and I’m so glad I did!
Immediately after I sat down her hands were in my hair and we were discussing my options. I have fine hair that underneath/​back has a lot of curl, and while it’s straighter on top it’s naturally wavy. While I usually just get a cut with the intentions on growing it out, this time I just went with her suggestion and that was to get a cut to emphasize the curls and do something fun. I love that she invested the time in really getting into my hair and getting a clear picture of what my daily routine is.
Overall I’m so SO glad I put my trust in Marissa, she was friendly, sweet, and very good at what she does. I left feeling like she truly cared that I was happy with my haircut, and I definitely am! While it’s different from what I normally do, it wasn’t so drastic that I was left with second thoughts — instead I’m absolutely in love with it! I’d highly recommend this salon to anyone and everyone! :)

Marissa did an awesome job taking my super dark hair to bleach blonde! (See the pics) Ella6 is great and the wine isn’t half bad either ;) all of the girls are super friendly and very talented and honestly love what they do! It really shows through their work and how much they have put into the salon! They have all kinds of services including waxes and makeup! Can’t wait for my Brazilian Blowout tomorrow, I’ll post some before and after pics!

I’ve been going to Ella6 ever since it opened up. The salon is decorated tastefully and looks amazing. The stylists are professional and talented. I’ve never had a bad experience with this salon, I recommend it any chance I get. I would never go anywhere else in Tucson.

Ella6 is an amazing salon! Every girl in here is so talented and makes you feel like a million bucks!
Alexis fixed my hair from a horrible haircut I got from a different salon 2 months before my wedding and made me feel so beautiful for my big day!
As a Cosmetologist myself I would not go anywhere else and come all the way from CA to have my hair done.
A very professional atmosphere but at the same time the girls will make you feel like you are their best friend.
An awesome salon you don’t want to pass up!

Had my first appointment with Alexis a couple weeks ago. She literally changed the way I see myself. She did the best color and cut I have ever had. Super happy I found her.

I had been seeking a new stylist because my previous stylist hasn’t been available. My hair was long, dry, overgrown, and weighed down. I had considered using a groupon or living social deal, but always hesitate. I won a gift certificate at a charity event at Charlie’s Comic Books next door to the salon. I walked in to make an appointment and I was pleased with the modern amenities that I saw there. I made an appointment with Nicole Cruz.
I came in for my appointment with trepidation. I was ready to provide her with all the information needed to make a good hair decision: single mom, busy life, need something easy to manage, exercise a lot so I need it long enough to put up, I like long layers, etc. I pulled up a few photos on my phone. With the exception of color, she did exactly as I asked and I couldn’t be more pleased with how my hair looks. She cut it exactly as I indicated, she curled and styled it accordingly, she recommended products without trying to «sell» them to me, and she did so in a timely fashion. I was in and out in an hour. The staff is amazingly personable, incredibly friendly, and I am very impressed with the décor and ambiance of the salon.
I highly recommend this salon for cut, color, styling, and even waxing. They are a fairly new salon, but I am pretty amazed with how well my hair turned out. I will continue to be a client of Nicole for as long as she’s available.
