But my stylist colored my hair a weird orangish color. I kindly requested to come back in and have it fixed by another stylist, who did fix it. However, as I was getting my hair done the girl who I originally had was talking badly about me to her client RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Talk about unprofessional.

She also gives it to you straight - if you don't need a more expensive service, she won't try to up-sell you. She has a great rapport with all her clients, and I always look forward to my hair appointments. That is very unlike me - I've always waited MONTHS between appointments, which leads to my hair (especially the ends) looking unhealthy - but now I look forward to seeing her every 8-10 weeks. They also offer waxing services, which, after a bad experience at a nail salon in the area, I will definitely be upgrading to JH Hair Design! They probably aren't the least expensive in the area, but you get what you pay for, and they are truly top-notch.

Liyah made me look great and she styled my hair so that it would look more full and have bounce.

Roxie is so talented. My hair is perfect every time. I struggled for so long to find someone who…read morecould get the icy blonde color I wanted without damaging my hair, and Roxie even helped me go from platinum to ashy brown and back to platinum without damaging my hair. Whether you're not sure what you want to do with your cut or color or if you know exactly what you want, this is the place to go! Everyone is so kind and it's a great vibe too! (I always add a little pink too!)

This is the first stylist review I've ever written. That's mostly because no one, not in 40 years,…read morehas given me a cut and style that was worthy of a review. That ends here. Lynette, owner of "He Says She Says Hair Studio" in Hamden is a styling savant...she just knows. I'd read the other reviews here & was desperate one afternoon bc of an upcoming trip, so I gave it a shot and called. In 20 minutes I was in her chair, clueless and stressed. Hair decisions can be a real freakout but Lynette is so calming & reassuring. She's so skilled that my "I have no idea" became the starting point for a fresh look. She magically came up with a new cut that was perfect. It wasn't insane, in fact it was basically in concept the same general style I'd always worn. But way better. Sleeker, more class! No one has come up with anything new for me in 25 years that worked. I'm into my third cut with Ms L and every one has the same extremely pleasant private feel that is its own selling point for the salon. Where can you find a high quality salon that's private & quiet? Nowhere but He Says She Says. fact, all three times Lunette has styled me I was the only one there. I think, working alone, she schedules it that way on purpose to give each client undivided attention. I certainly wouldn't have been able to handle the typical noisy hair place with my need for calm consideration to come up with something great. I simply cannot say enough about Lynette and He Says She Says. She's the best & I recommend her without question. Oh yes, HER PRICES ARE GREAT, much more competitive than any other Salon or Studio of this high quality. Girls, I'd pick her for a "prom do" or color, or maybe a special style for a wedding or formal function, any special occasion.

Back to the salon...I was assigned to Tito who is phenomenal because he is wicked patient, listens and understands what I am looking for.

Everyone is so nice and welcoming, and I have been a customer for a few years now. I'd highly recommend!!

She cut my hair exactly as I wanted, was efficient and super friendly. I did appreciate being able to get an appointment the same week that I called. I paid $60 for a full haircut, shampoo and blow dry. I was paying $40 at my last place and have often times paid $60 -$70 for a haircut. I thought the price very reasonable and I'll admit - there is something in you get what you pay for. Even though I liked my last stylist in Oregon that only charged me $40, I always felt it was never quite what I wanted. I left Salon East super happy and look forward to going back.

Lucky for me, I was able to get an appointment with Marisa for a cut on a recent visit back to Hamden, June 3, 2015. I have the best haircuts from Marisa, she really takes the time with my hair. It can be a challenge to get it just right due to the thickness and natural wave. Now I am trying to figure out how to schedule my next trip back to Hamden to see Marisa again. She is the best!
