I can't say enough excellent things about my experience at Essence. After two long years without a…read morehaircut (thanks, pandemic) I was searching for a new place and a chance to cut off my hair again. Liz took all of my requests into consideration and gave me an absolutely wonderful haircut (not an easy thing to do considering how thick my hair is and how long it had grown.) More than that, she was incredibly kind and made me feel well taken care of throughout my appointment. All of the staff that I interacted with were warm and professional. Everyone was also very careful and aware of COVID protocols, which to me was an added bonus. The only negative for me going in was the cost (a bit pricier than what I can afford since I'm still in school) but honestly... I really think it was completely worth it. If you're looking for a professional establishment and someone who knows how to give a short women's haircut, go to Essence and ask for Liz. You will not be disappointed!

I have been a client of this salon for thirty plus years. The ladies at Regina Richards are nothing…read moreshort of professional, they are well trained and up-to-date on all of the new processes and continue with To keep up with the latest trends. I've had long hair, I've had short hair, I've had hair everywhere in between with all sorts of different colors along the way and it's been a fun journey through all these years. I have never left unhappy or dissatisfied with the service I have received. My daughter has routinely traveled from New York City for the last 15 years to have her haircut and my son and his wife come from Wallingford to have their haircut. Mary is a warm loving caring human being who would never send a client out unhappy unless that client was absolutely guano psychotic. You may have read another review about an unhappy customer, but if you read any of her reviews all five of them are miserable and have something nasty to say. So Mustang Sally I think you should probably check for a burr under your saddle blanket and remove it. The only person you're making me look bad and reviews like this is yourself. I highly recommend any of the stylists At Regina Richard Hair Studio.

RUN! The OWNER IS A CROOK! I went to this Salon/ Garage from a referral from my neighbor as my…read moresalon closed. I sent pics. Prior and asked if she thought she could achieve what I was looking for. She said, oh yes no problem! Well, my hair was blonde with some growth at the root. I had some brown and gray and the back was pretty much my natural color. She colored my hair BLACK! ALL OF IT! Then, when I went into shock and said I wanted to stop, she took her arms put them on each side of me, on the arms of the chair and blocked me in and in my face, said I needed to let her finish. I knew my hair was never going to be what it was and putting highlights on the black hair was going to look ridiculous. She then took me outside and just drilled it into my head how it was blonde. PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I WAS IN SHOCK! I let her finish, people go with your gut, I knew and didn't, feeling so pressured! I should have known when there was hair all over the floor at her station, and she said I didn't have to wear a mask and she didn't wear one the whole time I was there. I will say her employees did. She then did the worst highlights I ever had done, her "assistant" just slopped color on a brush handed it to her and hopefully I can show the bunched up foils on here. Not even folded. I get my hair done every 3 weeks at least cut as its short so I know how it goes. THE CUT... She butchered it, I now look like a spotty leppard. I have a huge long BALD spot down the back of the left side of my head where she used a hand razor which I told her I don't like razors and kept chopping at the spots of color to break them up instead of putting color over them. I waited until the next evening to write her as I cried for two days mortified. She never said sorry she took $240 and refused to refund me anything. I wrote her kindly to see if she would refund me without asking letting her know How unhappy I was and she said she hopes I find someone that can give me what I'm looking for. She bashed my old stylist, whom I said was able to lift my color and did a great job but wasn't returning as she was pregnant and they went out of business sadly. The salon is NOT worth the money and she should have refunded me my money she couldn't fix me going around with a huge bald spot. She a dirty woman! She took my money and waited to tell me the cost until after I was colored.. I've never paid so much for a mess. I have gone to high end salons and yes have paid almost this much but not for this quality of work, the place is a construction garage and barren and they talk about you fyi.. But board of health should check up on this place because for that much money I shouldn't have to sit and step in someone else's black hair! Your a dirty woman Mary Ann. And...15 minutes late, wasn't even there when I got there. Sat in my car for 1/2 hr.

I went here for a normal, regular trim- I told Elaine, my hairdresser, that I wanted 3-6 inches cut…read moreoff and long layers. Elaine then proceeded to roughly chop 6 inches off; she then trimmed about 4 more on top of that. Elaine straightened my hair before trimming it, complained my entire appointment about how my hair was too long, too thick, and was consistent in telling me she hates doing young peoples hair and was only doing mine considering my first stylist couldn't make it to work that day. This place looked professional, however Elaine completely ruined my long hair; gave me a chop shop cut and just butchered the ends; not only did she do a horrific job but she was rude and whined the whole time as well. Do NOT go here. Absolutely horrific experience. My 1 1/2 years of hair growth is completely gone and my hair cut is horrible. Elaine should be fired and they should work on their customer service. It was honestly just unacceptable and Elaine should not be cutting people's hair, ever. I'm warning you, DO NOT GO TO ELAINE. Mean lady and horrible at her job. Hey guys this is an update after many months since I got my haircut-- It's finally at the length I originally asked for it to be at when they cut it because they cut it so short it's just now grown out to what I asked for! This is just your reminder to never go there!!
