I had been coming here for over a year, and the biggest issue I experienced was inconsistency…read more Sometimes my color and blowout looked amazing, and other times the results fell well below expectations. I do appreciate that the owner was always willing to make things right, which says a lot about their commitment to customer service. Unfortunately, I reached a point where I couldn't continue trusting that I would leave happy. My biggest frustration was with the lack of professional accountability from some stylists. If a result doesn't look good, it should be acknowledged and addressed rather than pretending everything is fine. Consistency and honesty are just as important as talent, and that's ultimately why I decided to go elsewhere.

I found Heidi a few months ago while searching for a great local hairdresser. Called her the same…read moreday. She was extremely nice and professional over the phone, asked me questions about my style and hair. I didn't have anything specific in mind (only knew I wanted a cut and highlights), so she gave me some great advice. Long story short - I absolutely love my hair. It compliments my face, makes me feel confident and it was pretty affordable. I plan on going back to Heidi in a few months to do the balayage. I've recommended her to at least 4 people :)

She did it again...and somehow even better??? I didn't even know that was possible. The amount of…read morecompliments I have gotten on my color = endless.

Yes, I go to a salon to get my haircut. Go ahead, get it out of your system now. I'll wait…read more ... Done yet? Good. Thanks. I'm not a typical "give me a number 2 all the way around" kind guy, so I do care where I get it cut and for that matter, who cuts it. I've been going here for quite a while now. My commitment is shown in my willingness to, year after year, drive down here from Boston [North Easton, Quincy, Downtown Boston, and/or Medford, depending on the year] to get my hair snip snapped. Now that i'm temporarily local again, the distance has diminished quite a bit, but - I digress. Don't get me wrong, i've tried other places, but it never comes out as good. Hey, maybe I suck at explaining how I want my hair cut. I can live with that. My fault or not - they do good work. A lot of other places cut it too short, or cut it so straight I look like Lloyd Christmas on a good day. (Dumb & Dumber reference.) I like to come out with just a shorter version of the crazy spiked whateverness I walked in with. I can always tell they did a good job when I come home from getting a haircut and my dad looks at me, pauses, and then tells me that I should "go get a haircut." I would recommend Kiki and/or Rihanna (no, not THAT one) but anyone they hire would be a good choice. I like going to the same person because I can just go in and sit there and i don't have to explain a thing. On another note, Contours has been doing my mom's hair for years, and she does the whole 6-hour experience (cut, color, ....other hair things) and she's always happy - and trust me, if she's not happy, she would be the first one to tell you. The people are super friendly, there is always fresh coffee and some sort of food (bagels, pastries, and/or mini sandwiches) to munch on when you get there / before you leave. Not the cheapest place in the world, but in the grand scheme of things, $41 for a guy's haircut every 9 weeks isn't a big deal.

This is local treasure for beauty, pampering and boutique shopping! Located under Metro Bis…read morerestaurant in the center of Simsbury, Rhenium has the most beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The building is a Simsbury historic, former family mansion, restored with the most elegant touches. My hair stylist is Ali. She is extremely talented ~ best highlights and cuts I remember since the hair stylist I loved during my high school years. She is super warm, friendly and comfortable to spend those 1-2 hour appointments with (the things we women go though huh). She is so good at what she does, my husband and father have gone to her for cuts and... even though they have unique head shapes and Hair characteristics, she has given them both their best cuts. No surprise my mother also joined in for her weekly wash and blowouts with complete satisfaction. I have also seen how talented she is with all types of hair including curly tresses. I follow the salons Instagram page and know from what I see, and from seeing the numerous ladies I know from around town who use Rhenium as their Beauty hub, that ALL of the stylists are at that elite level of talent and professionalism. I know they also do weddings and updos. Today I walked in and was greeted by Kathy and Sophie. Kathy is so personable, and can help you book appointments, buy gift certificates, and even help you find your way around the boutique and their new better-consignment section. I believe she helps order and run the boutique (I could be wrong and will update if needed). Sophie has a nutrition-wellness & life coaching business, and can even do tarot card readings while you get your do done. Today I picked up a wonderful crystal filled spray bottle of room spray that Sophie created that I already love! On the website look under "More of the Good Stuff" to see what Sophie offers. Both of these ladies will provide you with professional and kind service. Today I met Leslie for a facial.. what a special and caring person she is. She created such a relaxing and beautiful room to pamper her clients. The facial was so much more than a facial! I was immediately helped to relax. She took her time, massaged my head, shoulders and parts of my upper shoulders and back. I felt so taken care of and she was just lovely to chat with. I didn't realize just how much I needed this pampering and relaxation. I left feeling so happy & relaxed... from a booked facial! I'm still new to this salon so I imagine as I experience new services I can come back and update you. In addition to hair and skin care, nutritional services and life coaching, they have a masseuse and a red laser lit sauna! Do yourself a favor and check out their website and book yourself a well-deserved pampering appointment! You can book online. If you need a gift for a lady in your life, I guarantee their boutique has something you can quickly pick up that will be greatly appreciated.

The salon is incredibly clean and looks great. Appointments are required which I understand can be difficult when trying to squeeze in a service but I do prefer that over a very crowded salon any day! They also always post last minute available appointments on their social media so it's not incredibly difficult to get in fast. In December, I scheduled a curly cut with Crystal. It was my first hair cut in a long time but it was the holidays and after a year of dealing with Long-COVID I needed to brush myself off and feel good. I thought I was going in for just a cut but ended up also leaving inspired and empowered. Crystal worked her magic on my hair without a doubt. The curls were flowing and more luscious than I ever seen them - I was in love every time I looked in the mirror! She gave me some tips on how to keep my hair healthy and looking great and I plan on coming back when I'm ready to lighten my hair. By that time, I'll also need a fresh cut and color and I can't wait. Great service without a doubt but her energy? Absolutely refreshing and one of a kind! Her confidence and happiness is palpable. I absolutely love her optimism and how she spoke about the importance about being your very best self rather than focusing on any negativity. Crystal was so incredibly welcoming it was easy to feel at ease. It felt like I was chatting with someone I'd known for a while instead of someone I had just met. I'll be booking with Crystal again and will make sure to post before and after photos!

I cannot say enough amazing things about my wedding hairstylists, Jackie and Zujeidy! From the…read moretrial to the big day, they were an absolute joy to work with--calm, professional, and incredibly talented. They listened closely to what I wanted, made thoughtful suggestions, and somehow created a hairstyle that was even more beautiful than I imagined. My mother, MIL, and bridesmaids all received styling and very pleased with their results. As a curly girl I really wanted to embrace and elevated my natural curls for the wedding day. I purchased clip-in extension which Jackie thoughtfully prepped and provided to me during my wash-and-set the day before (included in my pricing!). I received so many compliments throughout the day, a those who I haven't seen in a while had no clue I was even wearing extension. Best decision I made for myself to feel the most comfortable and confident on such an important day. Thank YOU!

I love my "girl time" at Studio Mac and chatting with the ladies - Katelyn and her mother Cathy are inspirational and run their business so professionally. I love the team dynamic experienced between everyone that works there - they are always willing to lend each other a hand or foil when needed (Thanks Sabrina and Rebecca!) Katelyn did my hair and makeup for my wedding and her airbrush technique held up beautifully while still looking natural for my August wedding. I've only had Katelyn and Cathy color and cut my hair, but would recommend any stylist in the salon - every customer walks out with a smile on their face and is glowing with confidence after a visit to Studio Mac!

Sorry but this place is anything but serene. She did my hair once before and it looked good (though…read moreshe complained about how I should have purchased better grade hair, and that next time I should buy the hair she has in stock). Today, I went back after having booked an appointment for a 360 sew in. Though her attitude was not the best, I still wanted to support the hustle. I called on the day I booked my appointment to ask how to go about ordering 360 hair. She said it was on the site. I informed her that it wasn't on the site but booked the appointment anyways. I called several times before my appointment in an effort to order the hair. All my calls went to voicemail and none were returned. I showed up on the day of, and she very rudely said she couldn't do the 360 bc I didn't order it. She speaks to people in a very condescending manner. I informed her of my various attempts but she didn't seem to care. Okay, no problemo, i wasn't deadset on the 360. I told her I would do a sew instead. She didn't have the hair I wanted but I was willing to settle. I asked for a total and she said she didn't know. So I asked for individual prices. It's 180 to install, 75 for a bundle (she would use 2 pieces so 150) and 50 for the closure. My total would have been almost 400. That was far from what I bargained for, so I politely declined, informed her that her prices on the site were misleading, and left. Do with this information what you will. I'm more mad at her lack of people skills than her prices. She needs to learn to not speak to people in a such a rude, condescending, belittling manner.

Weird vibe w/owner and lack of understanding of natural hair. I think she's good for weave and…read moreextensions but 180% not natural hair. It's always indicative when the regulars show up with broken hair along the perimeter. I did my best to tolerate my service all the way through but just had to pay and walk out when I smelled the burning edges of the other girl in the chair. No matter how much heat protectant is on, you should never smell that. I alerted her in advance that I had 3 inches of natural growth and the rest was straight. She agreed it was fine and that she could handle. Of course I arrive and she does things that make any stylist cringe. My 4c hair did not grow 18 inches by going to stylists like this.. AA ladies, no one should ever do the following to your hair. - she washed my hair by scratching at my scalp with her nails which is bad for the follicles and leaves the scalp weak as you're combing through later. It's better to use fingertips to avoid roughing up the scalp. - she held the blow dryer **less than an inch from my hair** as she blowdryer which strips the hair of moisture and fries it. I don't do this and neither have any of my other hairdressers. They advise that 10-15 inches is best, but around 6 inches if you're in a rush. After she blowdryed on low - then on high - she put me under the dryer on high. I sensed that she was rushing and told her I wasn't in a time crunch and oddly she seemed to take that as condescending - the shampoo smelled great but was super suddy and had sulfates which dry out AA hair by overstripping it of natural moisture and nutrients. - to top it off, she combed my natural hair from the root when detangling, but it's better to start from the ends to avoid a lot of breakage. All in all, she knows some areas of hair which is clear from her photos but strongly advise against if you have natural hair. I recommend heading up to New Haven instead to Hair's Talent (Gina is an expert with natural hair) or NYC to Hayato (Japanese but very dedicated to top service and maintaining hair health whether curly or straight). Edit: plug added because black women pay out of the nose for "beauty" and still have professionals damaging our hair. We ought not to have to scour the internet searching for people who can take care of it with integrity. As someone who's never needed a weave for the past 20+ years, I feel very qualified on this one ^
