Concept Elite Salon

This is a small and very crowded beauty salon, but it is very busy and very popular which tells me that these people are good and they have a lot of customers. They also take walk-​ins which is a real plus for a lot of people. I have never had my hair done here but I have manicures from a wonderful manicurist by the name of Rosa Dukes. She is excellent and she’s very very fast; she gets me in and out really quickly. I have pink and whites done and they’re gorgeous. I highly recommend her.

I have been getting my hair done by Kim Wright at Concept Elite Salon for over 15 years. She does great weave/​color and gives a awesome haircut. She is a very busy stylist but always gets me in and out in great time. Thanks for all of the years of cute hair!

Vickie S ALWAYS gives me a great color, cut and style! She listens and answers my questions, and takes great care of me. She has such a sweet and encouraging spirit. I always leave feeling beautiful and uplifted!

I came here on Saturday to have my hair done because it was the soonest appointment I could get anywhere. Norma did my hair. She was a very easy person to talk to and I enjoyed her company, however I would never recommend her to anybody. My appointment was at 3 and she didn’t start on my hair until 4, then she didn’t finish until almost 8 pm! She curled my hair and told me she would fix a «few small things» on Friday. As you can see in the pictures I’ve posted, these are major problems that I didn’t notice through the curls. I’m gonna have to wear my hair up until I can get an appointment with a recommended stylist and ask for my money back.

Love this place! Clean and friendly, and the price was less than what I was expecting. I scheduled with Jamie and she fixed my botched hair color and hair someone else destroyed. My hair was dry and orange! I thought she might charge me extra to fix iy, but she didn’t. She made me feel reassured that she could fix it. So thankful!!!

Kandace does my hair and she does a great job! She is super sweet, and she takes her time.
She is young and drama free! Not one of those bratty hair dressers who come to work in a bad mood.
She has fixed and colored my hair with extensions and they turned out great.
Since then, I have cut my hair short and she did an awesome job cutting and styling me a «lob.»
I highly recommend her because she will work with you to get the look you want!
The salon is in a great, clean location.

This is a great salon! I’ve been going to Trisha for my haircuts for about five years, and she is fantastic! I strongly recommend her and Concept Elite.

Elena at Concept Elite is a great manicurist and I love her attention to detail. She is so nice and very professionaI and always makes my nails and toes look beautiful! I would recommend her to everyone I know.

I have always been very particular about my hair… I have been going to Jenny for over a year… she always goes above and beyond the call of duty… she’s professional and always thoughtful and kind… and she makes my hair looks amazing… if u want UR hair to be perfect… Go To Jenny…

Everyone is super friendly and very personable. I always go to Jenny for my haircuts and I NEVER leave disappointed.

I will never go back to this salon. I went in to have my eyebrows waxed, the girl did a good job on that part. But what made me upset was how she kept telling me what was wrong with my face and picking at little things. I left feeling like I should be wearing a paper bag over my face!

Kandace does my hair and she’s the best! She always does a remarkable job on the cut and color. When I leave I’m always SO happy with the results, whether it’s a new style or something we’ve done before. Kandace is a lovely person. She is patient, takes her time to make sure you’re genuinely happy and is overall a joy to be around. She’s extremely professional, and really goes out of her way to help people look and feel their best. I recommend her to all of my friends and family consistently. And of course, when people ask I refer them to her! Seriously, if you’re looking for a new hair professional that you can stick with time and time again, call Kandace at Concept Elite:)

Cleo is a good manicurist, I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she made it looked great. My only negative feedback is that she was constantly on her phone, which was not professional. I may or may not return.

I have been looking for a new pedicurist and looked on Unilocal and found Elena. I’m so glad I did because she is professional, does great work and is really attentive! I will definitely be coming back here from now on! My job doesn’t allow me to get manicures otherwise I’d come to her for those too! :)

I’m so glad that I found Monica, love my skin after my microdermabrasion. She is a godsend.

I recently moved to Bakersfield. I have moved 3 times in the last 3 years and have always found a great hairdresser but not this time. I went to this salon based on previous reviews. I had an appointment with kandace who is very young and only been working for 2 years. I should have gone with my instincts and not let her cut my hair. My hair is thin and naturally curly. She basically cut my hair like a child’s haircut she did not style my hair like I am used of. She also cut it way to short like i told her nit too. If I wanted a hair cut I would have went to cost cutters or one of those chains. Sorry Kandace but I am not happy.
Thank god I on, y had a cut and not a highlight. :-(

Concept Elite is so great! My hair stylist is Jenny and she is an expert at color, I have people coming up to me all the time to ask if it’s my natural hair color. I know that Roxy gives the best pedicures and the two manicurists in the back Cleo and Angie do amazing nail art! Great atmosphere and super friendly (:

I don’t live in Bakersfield anymore but I used to go to Jenny and wish she had moved with me! She is super friendly and sweet and listens to exactly what you’re looking for. I saw her once to touch up my base blonde with some lighter highlights and it looked better than it ever had (just in time to get my college graduation photos taken!), then a few months later I randomly decided to ditch my natural blonde and go dark for the first time in my LIFE and the first couple of times (when I had other people do it) it had turned out this awful reddish color. I explained to her the shade I wanted and she did a fabulous job. I’ve had countless people tell me it looks more natural on me than my natural hair color! I always like the compliments, so I thought Jenny deserved them too!
She also charges an incredibly fair price, so even better! If you’ve been looking around Bakersfield trying out countless mediocre salons, you definitely owe it to yourself to check out Concept Elite… and I recommend asking for Jenny!

I’ve been going to Ashlee for my hair for the last two years, and I would never want to go anywhere else! She is a really fun, easy going person who communicates very well and will work very hard to get things exactly how I want them. Only once has my color not turned out the way I wanted it to, and since I had extra time, she fixed it for me for no extra charge because it just wasn’t what I wanted.
I have had some less than favorable experiences with people here, but not with Ashlee. I like the atmosphere of this salon, being that it’s comfortable and not stuffy like some other one’s I’ve been to, and most of the staff is very present and makes you feel welcomed.

Got a full set done by Olga I think her name was. Older Mexican lady. Before I came in a talked to her over the phone about what I wanted, red acrylic, and she assured me she could do it. I get there and all she has is pink and white acrylic and she had no idea what «rock star» nails meant. She went around to other nail techs to see if she could borrow some of their colored powder but none of them would let her. Wound up just getting a clear overlay with red polish over it. Looked like crap. She also started performing a manicure on me that I never even asked for.
