Element, a downtown Midland staple since 2015.
Element Salon and Day Spa is proud to be an Aveda Concept Salon and a locally owned, family-operated business rooted in care, creativity, and community. When Stephanie and Michael Jones acquired the established salon in 2015, their vision was clear: to create a space where guests feel seen, celebrated, and beautifully cared for—inside and out.
What began as a dream quickly evolved into a thriving team of professionals who are passionate about delivering exceptional experiences in a warm, welcoming environment.
Honored, Grateful, and Growing: A Milestone That Belongs to Us All
Being named to the Salon Today Top 200 list for three consecutive years—2021, 2022, and 2023—has been an incredible honor for our team at Element Salon and Day Spa. This recognition celebrates not just what we do, but how we do it: with heart, intention, and a commitment to excellence in every guest experience. These awards reflect categories like culture, customer care, growth, and innovation, which are core values we strive to live by every day, together.
But make no mistake—this isn’t just about a plaque on the wall. It’s about the trust our guests place in us, the passion our team brings behind the scenes, and the belief that growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of kindness. We are beyond proud, and equally humbled, to be among salons across the country who are pushing the industry forward. Most of all, we’re thankful—for our guests, our team, and the continued opportunity to create something meaningful together.
At the heart of Element is our mission: to create Element Enthusiasts—guests and team members alike—through exceptional service, ongoing professional growth, a deep commitment to quality, and active care for our community and planet.
We believe beauty is a relationship, not just a result!

Our Eco-Conscious Impact
As a proud Green Circle Salon, we operate as a carbon-neutral facility—recycling everything from hair clippings to color tubes and foils through industry-leading sustainability programs. These efforts help us divert up to 95% of our waste from landfills and waterways.
We’ve also partnered with Vish, a smart color management system that allows us to precisely measure and mix hair color, reducing excess product waste and supporting more mindful, efficient services. Together, these practices reflect our commitment to clean beauty—not just in the products we use, but in the way we show up for our community and our planet.
