I am a real person and these are real accounts of my experience…read more Yanna and Ms. Karen are absolute rockstars. I have paid up to four times than what I paid at IIOC for a 'less-than' result. I'm the type of person who does things like hair last minute because, on my days off, I have a lot to do (but I'm also an antsy person and I know it takes long). It. Was. Worth. It. When I called to make an appointment, they told me "walk-in's only on Saturday" so, naturally, I was there at 7:59AM expecting a line at the door. To my surprise, I was pleasantly greeted, taken to a chair within minutes and immediately consulted. Calling all humans with hair: go here. A lot of people are intimidated by the idea of going to get their hair done by anything less than a 'professional'. Good for them, go pay $80 for a trim. Prior to this, my best result was with a woman down south who taught hair at a cosmetology school before making the coveted leap to an "upscale" salon. She was awesome. I only have the one experience with Ms. Karen and Yanna, but Ms. Karen was very attentive the entire time. was truly involved in the teaching process and really understood what I wanted. (I'm not basic.. lol) Yanna comes from a long line of barbers and hair stylists. She is going to be one of the greats, because she cares. THIS is the best my hair has ever looked. Shout out to Becca too for helping with the foils and the color on the front hairline. Sure, my full foil took a little longer that usual, so if you aren't patient, bring a book and chill the F*ck out. Just mentally prepare yourself. I'd say it's like Padawan's learning from Jedi. Ms. Karen, I'll be back. Time WELL spent. Thank you all!

I guess they have a rule there if you complain about the results you're banned from the school!…read moreFirst complaint was an instructor who left me and Miss Karen had to fix it over the course of three visits. This was years ago. Second complaint another student left me while she went to the Finance office and Miss Karen was livid about it. Third complaint was a few weeks ago. I had asked for low and high lights and ended up with grayish tones throughout my hair so upon calling that Monday to ask if they could fix it, Miss Marie told me it's a school and I said what does that have to do with anything so I went in on Thursday and they put a blonde toner in and of course it was better than nothing compared to the way I left so beware if you even speak up about the service because you're not pleased, you will be asked to never come back, this is very unprofessional and if it's a school, then the students would have to learn just as if they worked in a real Salon, etc.. I had never left a review before because I didn't think it was necessary. I thought the School was handling it, but then I was told they were taking notes about me very childish and unprofessional upon trying to call the owner Mr. G who owns a very successful business in Rocky Hill he never returned my phone calls just had his reception take information and never got back to me! I also left an email for Martin G and he never responded. I'm not the first do your due diligence and gore reviews all over other platforms. Miss Marie has zero class and had Miss Pam tell me upon me leaving that I cannot come back there!

I wake up and it still looks good! How do you do that? Any way Mike is a great guy he worked on me and my two sons and we have never looked better. Thanks Mike! See you in a month or so Dave

I go to their Southington location for about 3 years now. It is always hard to find a good barber…read moreand lucky to find Josh. He is really good at what he does and make you feel comfortable. He takes his time on your haircut and you don't feel rushed. His personality is great and makes sure you look your best once you walk out of there. Booking an appointment is always fast and easy. Also everyone there is friendly. Once you become a regular the front start to remember your name. I also like that the sit down time is not too long. They are normally on time for your appointment for a few minutes behind. For any guys that need haircut to look your best everyday or that special occasion, look for Josh in their Southington location! I also think he is in the Newington location once a week.

Went here for the first time today…read more I was very surprised, it was MUCH nicer than the Hair Cuttery I had been frequenting. Cleaner, Friendlier, More Welcoming! Jaime did an excellent job. It's hard for me to get my haircut. I am ill with Lupus and other issues including a degenerating spine, so sitting still for a long time is rough. But she was so efficient, I was in and out, i was comfortable, and it was just a very enjoyable experience, when usually getting my hair cut is anything but. We will definitely be going back here. Oh, and the price cannot be beat. 14.95 for a cut, for a woman or a man. Hubby and I both agree, this was the best cut i've had in a long time! I cannot speak for the other hairdressers, but Jaime was tops. AND, unlike some salons where the hairdressers make you feel like you are intruding....this place was very welcoming.

Both of them are incredibly friendly and nice. Prices are reasonable and they are flexible with appointment times for trials. The morning of the wedding, they were fun, upbeat and professional all at the same time - getting us ready with plenty of time to spare! (They traveled to us which was a huge help!) We all loved our hair and makeup - and it looked great the entire day and night (even though it was 90+ degrees outside!). They also did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower, and I loved the work they did then as well!! I'll certainly be back for haircuts with Nicole, or if I ever need any sort of up do/makeup. I would definitely recommend them for any future brides or anyone who needs beauty services for a special occasion!

My stylist was Marie, who was so sweet and listened to all of my wishes and concerns about my wedding day look. She seriously is a hair magician- my hair is not easy to work with (very fine, slippery, but a LOT of hair), and she totally crushed it.

She has a talent for picking out colors and cuts that will not only look good on a person, but also that goes along with their hair type.

Small and cozy atmosphere, tastefully decorated and none of the pretentiousness that you can sometimes feel in an upscale hair salon. The other hair stylist working at the time I went was very friendly. The location is easy to get to and has free parking. If you are looking for a fresh, new look, check this place out!
