I've been coming here for about 5 years now and I see Bre. I'm always referring my friends to her. She's amazing and the staff at the salon is all friendly. It's like a family and everyone knows everyone kind of vibes. I always leave their feeling brand new and happy. Thanks Bre for always making me feel pretty read more

Excelent and professional I highly recommend this salon. They always give me a perfect haircut.

I have been getting my hair done by Breanne for years now at EG Salon. She is amazing! I trust her implicitly with my hair! She asks what I want done and I tell her to do what she thinks I need. I've never been disappointed. The salon is always very clean and organized. They have a great stock of hair products for purchase as well as some gift items. All of the staff are very friendly! read more

I have been going to Georgie since my girls were 3 and 6 years old! They are now 37 and 40! Needless to say I am always extremely happy with my hair style! Georgie always does an amazing job! Ellie, Bre, Chelsea, and all the staff are also wonderful at EG salon. Like Georgie, they are also very knowledgeable with their work and always well informed on the latest trends! Getting my hair done at EG salon is an enjoyable experience. Along with getting my hair done, I enjoy a good conversation, an offer of a cup of coffee or cold beverage, a snack ! The wonderful ladies also took care of my daughter's wedding party. They did a fantastic job with hair and makeup! I loved my hair for my daughter's wedding. The girls in her party looked stunning! I am with EG salon always!!! read more

I have been going to EG Salon for years! I love the atmosphere and the camaraderie. Breanne, Ellie, Georgi, Chelsea, and Molly are really wonderful people and hairstylists. Breanne does an amazing job on my hair each and every time and I feel fortunate to have her in my life. read more

Friendly staff very professional amazing with colorEveryone iso welcoming . You walk in and you just get to relax.

Best salon around - great prices and service! Everyone is super friendly and great at what they do. Can't recommend enough!

I would follow Ellie anywhere - even if she were to do my hair out of a barn in her backyard! I am a natural born redhead, but sigh, the years have worked have conspired against me and I'm not as a red as I used to be. Except Ellie waves a magic wand ...my hair color and cut is perfection. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I truly leave that salon feeling like a goddess:-) And Cheslea's skills as a make-up artist? Also perfection. The best salon around! read more

Ellie has been styling my hair for many many years. She is a master at taming my very curly frizzy hair not only giving me a good cut but also with educating me on what works best with my type of hair from products to styling help. In my time with Ellie I have come to know Georgi and the other ladies at EG. While Georgi is not my stylist I know that she has a mean golf swing! read more

Ellie, Georgi, and their stylists make a point to really listen to their clients. Your type of hair, preferences, and lifestyle are all taken into account when you consult with the hair professionals at EG. Great location with free parking makes your appointment very convenient. EG Salon is community minded, supporting Breast Cancer organizations and other local causes. I'm looking forward to going back to EG Salon. read more

I have been to EG Salon twice now. I go to Molly and she is the best. Very friendly and does a great job. I usually get a cut and Balayage and it looks amazing. Definitely recommend! read more

I love the new location! The salon followed all CDC guidelines including taking temps and wearing masks to ensure the safety of their clients and their stylists. Ellie was awesome!! She was pleasant and professional. I love, love, love my cut & color! I highly recommend EG Salon! read more

Have been going here for years and Georgi, Ellie and the girls are absolutely fabulous!!! The salon is clean, and the staff is safe and following all protocols. I personally go to Chelsea and she does amazing color and cuts!! And she's super sweet. For top rate service, and incredible looking hair look no further. I also love that they are super active in the community and give back so much. read more

I've been going to EG for years. The women working here are always so pleasant and really enjoyable to be around. They make you feel welcome and are rockstars at what they do. I also value that they're honest about what will work and what won't when it comes to your hair. Ellie has done everything on me from color correcting to lightening or darkening my hair and I have always left happy and feeling beautiful. They also know how to work with hair (like mine) that is regularly washed with well water. I drive 40 minutes from my home to use this salon and highly recommend them! read more

I needed a new stylist, so I searched for local places in Middletown and found E.G. I've been to E.G. Twice, once for a consultation and again for a cut and highlight. I am so pleased with the service I received from Ellie. She patiently and professionally helped me decide the style I want and asked practical questions about the amount of time I want to spend styling, do I want to use products, etc. After the consultation I was confident in Ellie's abilities and judgement. I went from long hair to short and got highlights for the first time in my life! I am happy with my new style and will definitely be going back. read more

EG Salon - Hair Extensions Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

On a whim I went to the new location because it was so close to home. I've been looking for someone who can cut layers and I mean good layers. Molly did a fabulous job. I haven't had a cut this good since I don't know when. My husband even commented on how good the layers look and coming from him what a compliment that is. I am definitely going back and even thinking on getting some color done. read more

Part 2 of my review: On 7/18, I didn't even make an appointment, I walked into the salon and asked to see Mattie or a manager. The receptionist says, "Okay, I'll get someone." But she never left the front desk. She keeps looking at me and looking nervously around the salon. 10 minutes later, I go back up and she's like "okay, okay, I'll go get someone"...not sure what she was waiting for. Did she think I would leave if she waited long enough? I see Mattie and tell her my hair was still gray. Her response? "So what do you want me to do?" Ummmm fix it or give me my money back? She re-colors my hair while my poor husband sits and waits for me. She covers the gray (second time is a charm) and I leave still feeling annoyed. She's level 3 now, but couldn't tell that my gray wasn't covered before I left the night before? Or could tell but didn't really care? She also tells me that maybe another product would cover it better, and that she would make a note in my file for the next time. I also realized after I washed my hair that she had put layers in my hair that I neither requested nor wanted. Really?? A couple of months go by and I have the familiar unsettled feeling. To go back to EG or figure out something else? I hate change, I hate going to new places. At least she got the general color tone right, last try, here we go on 11/2/13. I tell her I think we should use the product she talked about that would have better gray coverage as that's my main concern. I also said I wanted to do single process color because I was not loving the brassy tone to the highlights. She says she can do better, let's keep doing the highlights. Ugh, to find a stylist who will listen to me?? So I let her do her thing, but I specifically say I do not want layers in my hair. She proceeds to cut my hair and dry it straight (I swear, I am this woman's barbie doll head that she just does what she wants with). I didn't see highlights at all, she tells me she darkened it up this time. Yay for not brassy, boo for paying for highlights I don't see? Oh and yippee, her prices went up, AGAIN. Fast forward only 3 weeks...I see my gray hair coming through already! So much for the different product with better coverage? And the highlights are back to brassy. I am beyond annoyed. I fume on it for a few weeks and then say to myself, they have a 100% guarantee on their website. They MUST care about their clients. I reach out to the owner via email to share my concerns. I think I need someone with more experience who can handle my color and cut my hair as I ask for it to be cut. I receive an email back from "owner" who says the semi permanent color will not cover the gray for 8 - 10 weeks (then why were you using it) and that I might be a better fit for Ashley. Maybe that would be better for my "beauty budget". I look online and Ashley has been a stylist for less than 5 months. Yeah...NOT what I am looking for, again I feel like the people at EG don't HEAR what the customer is saying. I want experience. They offer up their newest stylist. I respond to that effect and obviously offended "owner" (who was unwilling to sign her name - there are two owners - who am I talking to??) "Time in the business isn't an indication to talent and training...I am sorry that you do not trust us as owners to fit you with a great stylist that we feel will take care of your needs...Good luck to you in the future." So they don't care about my concerns. They "fit" me with Mattie and I gave it three tries and it didn't work out. Ashley might be great, but then again, if she's so wonderful why haven't they advanced her to a level 2 or 3 stylist? I responded back with what I thought would be more productive...having one of the owners meet with me and look at my actual hair and then talk to whatever stylist with me about what would work best. Just 5 minutes out of their day to put my mind at ease. But the email was ignored and that was over a week ago so it's obvious they have put in what little effort they were willing to exert and that's that. So I'm taking it to Yelp. Take care if you go here. The prices are high and the services are not worth it. If my voice isn't heard and re-work is necessary every time, then it's time for me to find somewhere where quality and customer service is more of a focus. Where a stylist will give me what I want instead of treating me like a little barbie doll that they're experimenting on. I say back to EG what they said to me - Good luck in the future. read more

The cut was less than great. My stylist seemed more interested in discussing television shows and food orders with the other stylists than making sure she understood what I wanted. On inspection at home it was uneven and not blended in the back. For $54 plus a $10 tip, you expect more. Another reason for the 3 stars is the fact that nobody in this salon wore a mask. The salon policy - displayed on the counter - states that it is personal choice, which is downright irresponsible in the middle of a pandemic where even the vaccinated can get infected and spread the Delta variant to unvaccinated children. If you care about your health and that of your community, give this a hard pass. read more

I moved from the West Coast a few years ago and have had a really hard time finding a salon as good as the one I used to go to. I have been on the lookout for someone willing to be a little more creative and less "townie", if you know what I mean. This is that salon. I read the reviews for this salon and decided to give it a try. Called the front desk to make an appt and told the women I spoke with that I didn't want a "mommy" cut, which is what I got from my last guy (it wasn't a bad cut, just not what I was looking for). She totally understood and put me with Kim by the coming weekend. She sat down with me and asked some great questions about what I was looking for and what I could do every day. I told her that I was looking for someone willing to take some chances and she was pretty excited. Things I like best about this salon: they do a LOT of continuing education. This is really good if you are looking for more current styles or coloring. The salon is very well thought out and offers many services beyond haircuts. New customers get a discount, so tell them I sent you and go see Kim if you go. She's amazing! I usually wait a few days to see if I like a cut and this one is great. Just what I was looking for. Definitely will go back and will recommend this place to others--possibly even the husband. Easy parking behind the salon and it's a beautiful space. read more

This business acted extremely unprofessional. Due to their actions, our wedding party is now without a salon to perform hair and makeup services, with less than a month to go to our wedding. I would recommend not attempting to book their services for weddings, or you may end up in a situation like us, with the most important day of your life. We were interested in booking the salon for hair and makeup for the wedding party for our upcoming wedding. When we called the business on Nov 22, 2014 we were told that they we available for our wedding date and time of 1:00PM on Jan 17, 2015, and that they would reserve the date for 7 days. Beyond the initial 7 days, we would need to place a $200 deposit to reserve the date. We were in contact with Shana, who we were informed is in charge of booking wedding parties. The very next day on Nov 24, 2014, we attempted to contact the salon regarding paying the deposit to reserve our date indefinitely. We were told that Shana was not available, and we left a message for her. We attempted to contact her again the next day on Nov 25, 2014, after not receiving a call back that same day. Again we were told she was not available and again left a message. That week was also Thanksgiving, and we never received a return call before the holiday. That Saturday, we contacted the salon again, the last date that our day was reserved before the deposit needed to paid. Again we had to leave a message for Shana, and were told she would be in contact with us either on Wednesday, Dec 3rd or Thursday, Dec 4th, both of which were beyond our reservation deadline. Shana did not contact us by Dec 4th, so we attempted the Salon again on Dec 5th, and left another message. We finally got put in contact with Shana on Dec 6th, and was told us our date was now gone. She then stated that she had not gotten any of our messages until Dec. 5th. She also stated that that date had been perviously booked since October, despite being told it was available originally on Nov 22! This business failed repeatedly to contact us and stringed us along about being able to use their services. If the date was already taken since October, they should have told us the date was reserved at the beginning or Shana was just lying regarding the reservation. They also should have contacted us at the repeated messages we left. Either the receptionist was not passing messages along, or Shana was purposely ignoring our calls. Overall, this business acted extremely unprofessional, and we have no salon with just a month until our wedding. I would say avoid this place if you are looking to book a wedding appointment. read more

Shana is great! I've been coming here for quite some time and I've never had a consistently good experience anywhere else. Highly personalized and a great staff. They really make you feel at home and want to make your service go as perfectly as possible read more

Georgie has been making me beautiful for over 20 years. It's like visiting family every appointment. They are flexible with time and make sure you are fully satisified with your treatment before and after. I'm not going anywhere else!!! read more

I contacted EG as I was considering changing from my regular salon. I was recommended to see Breanne -- she was lovely, accommodating, and her knowledge of hair, processes, etc made me feel very comfortable that I would be in good hands. I was very happy with my initial cut, so came back for color 2 weeks later. Very nice place! read more

Love the new location-better for me!! Ashley gave me a haircut and was so attentive too what I wanted and even took time to talk about booking a color appt, as I have been very unhappy with salon color over the years (other salons) and have been self coloring. Made the appt and she made sure to get more experienced sylists input on my wants. I love the color and have not said that in several years ( over 10)!! She is sweet and skilled and I will definitely return! Prices are also great compared to other salons that try to look fancier but their skills and customer attention are much worse. read more

Yet another FABULOUS experience here at EG, with Miss Georgi. I can start by saying she is so warm and welcoming that my consultation was a breeze. She is genius at her craft, using techniques I've never seen and solutions that changed the overall condition of my hair. We did quite a different cut and added amazing color and highlights. The cut is perfection...the color is BETTER than the picture from a famous stylist!!!! Thank you for making me smile inside and out!! read more

I had an amazing first experience here with Danielle, my hair stylist. I wanted an ombre/balayage and she did it wonderfully. I've never been more impressed! I planned to have it touched up a few months later with a little more blonde. About two weeks before my touch up appointment I received a call saying Danielle had left to pursue other interests, and was asked if I wanted to book an appointment with another stylist. I was disappointed about Danielle leaving but I said it would be okay to make another appointment. They booked an appointment with Bre. Bre is...a nice person. Very nice personality. But she completely messed up my ombre! The highlights she put in were so noticeable, there were actual lines in my hair...it was awful. When she blow dried my hair she literally pulled my hair so much that my scalp was on fire. It was so painful! She's not gentle at all. Please don't ask for her if you want to get your hair colored or dried. Needless to say I was very unhappy with the results that I contacted Danielle. Turns out she's at another place in Southington and she fixed my hair! She reduced a lot of the linage that was going on in my hair. I'm sorry EG, but you've lost a client. I will now be going to Danielle which I should have done in the first place. This review would have gotten one star, but since I had an amazing first experience with Danielle I had to give it three stars. Updated: the owner, Georgi, reached out to me to apologize for the quality of my service and will be refunding me the money I spent. I am grateful that business owners such as Georgi are mindful of their customers' happiness. Thank you for offering to correct the mistake. It will not be forgotten. read more

Great staff at this place they are all friendly and quite interested in pleasing you. Clean and welcoming! I had my hair done and a facial. I was a new customer and they gave me 30% off on both services. They do this for all new customers. The facial is Dermalogica and I have had this at other salons but this one was the best. Relaxing and way less expensive here for the same facial. I will return and try their other services. read more

I had no power and a job interview last week and I called to ask for an emergency shampoo and blow-dry. Shana at EG Salon dropped everything to help me out and let me know they were giving free shampoos and blow-dries to people who had no power. She was so nice and she did an amazing job! This salon seems new and is very clean and everyone there was so nice to me. I highly recommend Shana and EG Salon. read more

So interesting situation. I chose EG salon for services, which I was not exactly satisfied with. I WAS going to write a review however, I had decided against it because even though I was dissatisfied I didn't want it to appear I was bashing a local business. However the reason why I changed my mind is because my roommate just mentioned to me "I seen your review on yelp" I responded with "What review, I didn't write one" she said "Oh, there is one". So I read the review and to my surprise it was very very similar to my experience at EG salon. I was dumb founded.....astonished. Why?! Because no one else knew about my experience at EG salon besides my roommate and the owners. So who else wrote this so called review in the name "Brandy X" not me and not my roommate. So who would that leave? hm.... So here is the real story. I scheduled my appointment on a Wednesday afternoon, 5:15pm. I work night shift, so therefore I sleep during the day, I woke up the clock reads 4:56. I rush to get out the door, luckily I am close so my GPS reads I will arrive at 5:20pm. I call on my way, I will be 5 minutes late, they said no problem. So I arrive. I am not going to waste time by talking about all the little details about my haircut that I am not fond of. Bottom line, I have had better cuts. It's not the end of the world, my hair grows fast, lol. As the "other" review states, I DID want to find another salon, because I wanted a certain cut and I thought I could find another salon open, but it was late then and no such luck. I actually went home and ended up cutting some of my own hair (which I mentioned that to the owner) also. I was not "heated", I wasn't happy, but not "heated", its JUST hair. I told the owner also that I wasn't even going to mention anything until I recieved an email on my way home that asked about my experience. Which actually rubbed me the right way, because it shows that they care about their clients and customer service. After I sent my email, I recieved a response within a few hours asking what time they could call me tomorrow to rectify the issues. I still thought, that is a wonderful gesture and I was blown away that they take the time to follow through. I was an assistant manager in the medical field and I do know what great customer service is all about. So the next day came and I spoke with the other owner, whom was pleasant and nice. She then explained to me that this salon is a teaching salon. Oooh, I didn't know that, I didn't think twice about salons being "teaching salons" but it made more sense to me. I can't get mad at the stylist (Bree) for being new. (Which I never knew what her name was, until I talked with the owner) Everyone starts out sometime. Actually I didn't think she was that "young" looking. Not that she was old, but everyone under guesses my age as well. Her age had nothing to do with anything. The owner wanted me to come in to redo my hair cut. But I declined. She also started off with a scolding of "I heard you were late" I said yes, yes I was late for my appointment. She said "Yeah, 40 minutes" I said "Oh no! Not that late and then I told her about my GPS putting me there at 5:20pm. She said "Oh, then that changes what I was going to say to you" umm, ok. So she then said, I have refunded you. and I mentioned to her, you didn't have to do that. I was not looking for a refund. she then stated "Its not fair to pay for something that you are not satisfied with" I agree, but I wasn't looking to take it that far. I could go on and on about the back and forth conversation, but the thing that upsets me most is that this "Brandy X" review pops up and is an identical experience to mine and I DID NOT write it. So anyone taking the time to read this, thanks and for my original reviews. 2 stars for hair cut and 3 stars for customer service. honestly. However, I will leave the 4 stars ;) because that seems to be the reoccuring review about this salon, 4 and 5 stars, conviently enough ;) read more

Went for my second hair cut and went with another hair stylist. I think she was a better match for me. The cut so far is cute...I will update it after it's grown out a few weeks to comment on ease of styling it myself. *** Original rating: 3 stars. Went for my first hair cut at EG Salon because I heard about the 30% off first services with them. The cut didn't come out how I wanted. It gave me a mullet look, like two very obvious chunky levels of hair that I usually walk out with after a not so good haircut. The hair was not blended at all. The ensuing cut was hard to style where one side would flip out no matter how much styling I gave it and the other side would sit flat. I called the salon, they invited me to come back for a touch-up, but seriously, if you can't get it right the first time I sit in the chair, I'm not going to waste my time. I'm going back tonight for a second cut with another stylist and will increase, maintain, or decrease my rating upon that experience. The space is very nice, clean, and bright. I felt very welcomed there upon walking in. Receptionist was very friendly, too. read more

Georgi, Elli and the EG Salon crew are one in a million. I have been going to Georgi for over 20 years. Always up on the latest and greatest techniques and care insures that you will be well taken care of whether it is a cut, color, mani, pedi, facial or massage. I would not for one minute dream of going to another salon when I am so well taken care of. I look forward to my appointments with peace and relaxation out of my busy day read more

On a whim, I tried EG Salon. I entered unsure of what to expect and left with a wonderful hair cut (a cut and full foil highlights) and a new salon. My service today at EG was wonderful! From the time Mattie took to help me figure out what I wanted to the comfortable chairs to the shampooing I felt like not only a valued customer, but more importantly, her friend. I never once felt rushed or ignored, which happens all too frequently as you wait for a full head of foils to process. Not to mention the cut and color - she did great! I live in Boston where I go to school and have been getting my hair cut on Newbury Street for three times the price. Today at EG Salon I received better attention and a better haircut than I have at any of the Newbury salons in the past four years. I have already made an appointment for the next time I come back to CT! You will not regret visiting the EG salon! Ask for Mattie! read more

Great salon!! Very clean and welcoming and many creative stylists!! Been coming here for years and it keeps getting better!!

I went to EG Salon for the1st time for a dye, cut, and style. I was seated with Mattie. She was nice enough and did an ok job on my hair. That wasn't the issue then. The issue was when I found out she was telling people how much I spent and how often I go. When the news got back to me through the grape vine I found her to be very apathetic. She cut my hair 1 more time and it was sub par and uneven. I found her actions to be deliberate after telling her what I heard and then having her cut my hair. Lesson learned. On top of all of this the prices I was quoted and the prices I was charges were largely inflated. My 2nd visit was not immune to the inflation. Why are the owners keeping an employee like this? I argued a bit with the woman at the front desk while my stylist vanished and the front desk woman seemed ashamed. It was pointless. I never expected a stylist to openly share my payment methods, prices, and how often I go there to the world. Very unprofessional. For the price there are far better salons in the area. I will never go back there while she continues to work and will refer all I know to go anywhere else if they value their money, hair, and privacy. It's so difficult to find a stylist that will listen to you. After EG Salon I'll have to keep looking. read more
