My step-daughter was turning 16 and really wanted highlights on her hair. But wanted that same weekend. Ahhh!!! You know that's hard to book last minute. However I contacted FX and immediately they worked with me to find her a spot. They were so great at asking so many questions to ensure the reserved adequate time and were nice enough to provide an estimate. My step-daughter came out super happy with the service and everyone at the salon was friendly. The place looks beautiful. We had been here a while back for my sister's first hair color and I can say we love and trust them. read more

I am brand new to CT and made an appointment with Alexis at FX Hair Studio. My review has nothing to do with her quality of hair service because I never got that far, but rather the service, or lack thereof the salon itself, and her response to me when I expressed my concern about it. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment time because I believe that being on time is respectful. I approached the counter to check-in. There was no one there to greet or assist me. I looked around and there were two stylists, each with a client in the chair, who looked up at me and went about their business. I waited approximately 5 minutes just for someone to acknowledge that a customer was there. No one said a word so I left and drove home. I txt the stylist whom I had an appointment with and explained what had happened and why I left. She replied and asked me what time I came in? (Does it really matter what time someone comes in, or are clients only greeted between certain hours?) I told her I arrived 15 minutes prior to my appointment...and her response was the beginning of a very clear understanding of the business model of both the salon (and I use that term loosely) and her as an independent contractor) Our dialog: Alexis: "sorry for that on Saturdays as you can see we are very busy and a lot going on.. I wasn't here at that point yet.. would you like to come back and I will be right at the front waiting for you or reschedule? We all work independently and don't have a receptionist at the desk all the time" I replied: "Well that's the thing...it wasn't busy...there were two stylists...each with one person and one person in a chair waiting...and it doesn't take any effort to greet someone and say "welcome, we'll be with you in a moment"...so the atmosphere there is not comfortable for me. Thank you, but I will pass and find a more professional salon. You might want to consider working in a more professional salon if it's going to affect your business? I appreciate you getting back to me." Alexis: "Its hasn't effected my business or anyones else's here.. some people are just sensitive and can't speak up? I hope you find the place that suits you best. Take care" I replied: "That's an amazing attitude towards new clients. It's not about being sensitive...it's about expecting a business to acknowledge a customer standing at the counter. A customer should not have to ask to be welcomed...and if that is your business model, then I definitely made the right decision. I wish you the best." I think I have written two negative reviews in my life and 100's of positive reviews, but I felt this one was worth sharing. I am from the South, and we believe in being nice and courteous to people. She may be an amazing stylist and colorist, but her customer service skills are seriously lacking. And as an FYI...this "salon" is located inside a Ramada Inn and does not feel like a salon at all. It has a very low-end feel to it...more like a quick clip or super-cut place. As a new person to this area...this was a bit of a culture shock to say the least. Onward and upward! read more

I showed her a photo of the style and she nailed it. Definitely my new go-to salon. read more

FX studios - Hair Salons Near Me - Groton, Connecticut

I asked for an ombré and instead got what looked like highlights that were half grown out. I also got about an inch of my hair cut off, and it was super expensive. I was so disappointed that I cut my long hair down to shoulder length because it looked so bad. If it was cheaper I wouldn't have been as upset, but what a waste of money. Unfortunate because the people were super nice. read more

Realized yesterday that my hair was looking awful and needed a cut ASAP. I was planning on going to my usual, cheaper place, but was convinced otherwise. I wanted to try something different instead of my usual trim, and I wasn't sure that the other place would be able to do what I wanted (without messing up/me not liking it). Plus, the other place uses shampoo that irritates my skin and they seem to not wash it all out....so I decided to give FX Hair Studio a try! Called around 1pm, and had an appointment for that day at 4:30pm. I was amazed and relieved they were able to fit me in for the same day. Angela was the one that did my hair. Right from when I walked in, she made me feel welcome and comfortable. She listened to what I had in mind, and also listened to what I was worried about (getting a shorter haircut with a round face...could end up looking bad). I trusted her and knew that she could do what I wanted and make it look good. All throughout the cut, she didn't hesitate to let me know what she was doing, and how she was making it look. She showed me my hair right after she cut it, after she dried it, and again after she styled it. Making sure I liked what I saw, and I definitely did. I will say that it was a little pricy - definitely more than I usually spend - but the extra money was well worth it! Angela knew what she was doing and I was never afraid she would mess up at all. Thank you Angela and FX Hair Studio for making my hair look so much better and healthier! I will be recommending this salon to all of my friends. read more

Candace gave me a fantastic precision short cut. I've been in the New England area (from California) since March and I've been to THREE other stylists who could not cut short hair. Candace LISTENS to the client and asks a lot of questions to make sure she gives you exactly what you want and need. I'm so happy with my cut and so glad I finally found someone who knows what she's doing. read more

I'm new to this area and looked online for a salon, read a lot of reviews for FX and they were all definitely right! Rene was very pleasant and I truly enjoyed my experience. Rene listened to me and took time to understand what I wanted for my hair. I love my hair and I will definitely be going back to her for the length of my stay in this area! read more

I've known Renae for 10 years and her salon has been on top of it for 15! Whether it was a much needed trim, an overdue hair dye, or a spontaneous bob, Renae has been there through thick and through thin (hair!). Renae is always remodeling the salon to beautiful chic designs, while still maintaining that awesome homey and friendly vibe. I look forward to going to the salon to see what she has done with it and I am always excited to see what she will do with my hair! I know it will come out silky and soft because she knows how to keep hair healthy! She will always respect your hair type and will never put it in jeopardy. Go to Renae for a flattering cut/color that will bring out your best qualities! read more

The salon is great and very conveniently located. If your looking for a great hair experience, look no further. Hair Fx is the place to go, you won't be disappointed! read more
