Hair By Elements

26 South Street, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, CM23 3AT

About us

Our clients tell us we are the best hair & beauty salon in Hertfordshire because of the high-quality services and excellent level of customer service they receive each time they visit.

We’ve been in business for more than 40 years and have been open in Bishop’s Stortford since 2003. We also have a fantastic sister business, The Skin Clinic at Urban Spa in Devoils Lane, Bishop's Stortford, which focuses solely on fabulous spa & beauty treatments.

Never one to stand still, we re-launched and reinvented our hair salon as Hair by Elements in 2018, creating a fun, friendly and family atmosphere at our salon in South Street.

We have moved into a three-storey building next door to our old salon and now have hair services on the ground floor, with a Nails Lounge, Tattoo Studio and hairdresser training area on the floors above.

Our hair colour area has also been hugely enhanced with a unique colour table. This means you no longer have to sit and look at yourself in a mirror while your hair colour is developing but can relax around the table (where you can even charge up your phone, tablet or other mobile devices).

As our clients know, we care hugely about the community in which we live and work so we have worked with local businesses wherever possible and have also done our bit for the environmnent, installing mainly LED lights.

Tamzin was very good with my apprehensive daughter who had long hair and didn’t want it cut. She cut it into a long bob, very gentle when brushing and communicated well with my daughter to make her feel at ease. Receptionist was amazing, very chatty and friendly. Over all a very welcoming and friendly service, would definitely recommend

I had forgotten how relaxing it is to sit in a hairdressing salon and have your haircut under the skilled hands and eyes of a good hair designer. Hair tidied up and carefully styled to suit my personality. Left the salon feeling like a film star. Would recommend Jo at Elements, Bishop's Stortford and indeed the whole experience.
