I have been going to Kate's for 4 years now. I am originally from New York and used to the Best salons and boy do you need deep pockets. When I moved to Danbury I was so Lucky to find this salon. Where to begin... first the gal that cuts, colors, and styles my hair is AMAZING!!!!! Her name is Jessica. I never had such a quality and beautiful job. The complete staff are beyond friendly and knowledgeable. The most incredible part is their fees are more than reasonable. I honestly have never been happier with a Salon! I highly recommend and promise you won't be disappointed!!!! 5 stars! read more

Today was my first time at Kate Emilies- Kate was my stylist and not only did she do a great job, but I felt welcomed in the salon environment. I learned about Kate's history before I scheduled an appointment and was impressed with her passion for her profession. Kate's approach is very customer-centric and she is warm and friendly as was the person who met me in the hallway so I would not get lost. I pay similar prices in a LINY salon and I found Kate's salon to be more modern using locally sourced products. I will be back. Thank you Kate. read more

Absolutely the best! I've seen all the stylist there I've always left more than happy!!! - posted by owner :) yelp makes you pay for all reviews just fyi ;) read more

See all

Friendly, accommodating, returns calls and answer all your questions. My daughter was very happy with their service. She wanted her curly hair pinned up but was afraid that it wouldn't keep the style. Kate, the owner, assured her that her hair will remain pinned up and sure enough , it did. Thank you. read more

I highly recommend Kate's salon! Very relaxing shampoo, cut & style with Dyson products. The salon is elegant & well designed in the Summit at 100 Revere Road, Danbury. She sends detailed directions with videos. Basically go past guard shack and follow red line to 2nd floor to N door. Always great to support local family businesses! read more

I had a confirmed appointment with the owner Kate only to find out that I was handed down to her stylist. While the cut is fine, I was very taken aback that I was charged (top of the range) $70 for a very simple short hair cut only; no wash, no blow dry and no products. I usually pay $65 for my cut, wash and blow-dry with their Master Stylist! (Advertised: All HAIRCUTS INCLUDE THE CUT, WASH AND BLOW-DRY $50-70) Upon inquiring twice via their contact email which says "GET IN TOUCH" "We LOVE to hear from our guests. Your feedback enables us to improve the experience for everyone. So please get in touch" I'm still waiting to hear back from them - 8 days later and counting! Furthermore they must have received it as the confirmation was "Thank you for contacting Kate Emilies A Salon. We will contact you about your question as soon as possible." I find it extremely poor customer service to relegate me to another hairdresser without even a phone call but then charging me the owner's pricing and ultimately not responding to multiple inquiries! read more

Thank You to Kate and her entire staff for always making my daughter and I feel so welcome. Everyone is always professional and friendly. You know you are in good hands with all your hair needs. My 5 year old loves going to Kate Emelies to get her hair cut. She always feels like a princess! read more

Kate Emilies A Salon - Hair cut and style - Hair Salons Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Lizz really listened to what I was looking for but also gave me her expert opinion along the way. I have wavy/floppy hair and wanted to bring that out. I got a great cut! Plus first timers discount was very appreciated. read more

Everyone is so kind and accepting there. They take the time to listen to exactly what you want done with your hair and they are all professionals. Jessica especially is nice and i cant wait to book my next appointment with her! read more

Took me 5 years to come to terms that I should get a haircut. I always wanted long hair but I was unable to care and maintain it. Groupon had a great deal and I decided to try it out. Scheduling the appointment was very smooth because I was able to do it online without having to call. My appointment was confirmed within few minutes with Denise. Parking was not a problem. The place was easy to locate and there was no waiting list. Denise gave me a good conditioning treatment before the haircut. She heard about what style/ cut I preferred. While cutting the hair we spoke about our families and Connecticut. And at the end my hair cut was exactly the same I had expected. Nice layers with the expected length. She did an amazing job and I will return again. read more

Not happy Denise is very sweet My hair looks the same when I walked in but slightly shorter I didn't want short but one issue I had she didn't address Will not go back for that price read more

Awesome place for great yet inexpensive curly cuts! Kate is so down to earth and is an amazing hair stylist and business owner. So happy to have found someone I can trust with my curls (after decades of bad hair cuts)! Just a tip: Sometimes if you try to book an appt online, it may look like there are no appts for a while, but if you call there are usually more appts available and you can get in much sooner! read more

The stylist did not protect my skin before she let the dye sit. I'm covered in dye, on my way to an event. Asked stylist why she did not use a skin protectant, she said someone must have misplaced it and since she couldn't find it, she didn't use it. Claimed she didn't see any dye. Manager came over, admitted to seeing the color and tried to get it off, but said the stylist might have avoided skin protection on purpose to enhance the color (?). (I guess she hadn't heard the stylist admit it was an error.). I genuinely hate writing bad reviews and don't think I ever have before - I prefer to use yelp to praise good service, however I would not want another client to have this happen. Both the stylist and manager were very nice - and the space is nice. Unfortunately if the services are not good, the space and atmosphere do not really matter. read more

I've been going here for the past few years now but usually just get a trim. Yesterday I got a shorter haircut which was obviously more involved than my 'usual' and I love it. I was sort of vague with what I wanted and needed some guidance. Erin (my stylist) helped me figure out it out and did a great job cutting and styling (and giving me tips on how to do it myself). They are also great with kids. My 3 year old has gotten her hair cut here twice and it was super painless and quick each time. The whole staff is very friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this place. read more

Jessica was great! She helped me fine tune my hairstyle idea through discussion and looking at photos. She stopped and checked in with me throughout the cut to make sure it was what I wanted. Despite having Deva cuts and using Deva products for 10 years, I found her approach to cutting curly hair to be so fresh. She made suggestions on ways to use the products better and manage my style routine for a better look. It's hard to change hairdressers after so long but I'm really glad I took a chance on a new salon and talented stylist. I'm looking forward to returning. Also, the salon itself is lovely, thry have great hours, super hospitality with water, coffee, etc. Truly a nice experience. read more

Kate always gives me an excellent cut and color. She is great for curly hair.

I had a bridal hair trial that I had to leave early from due to an emergency at home in March. I called to schedule a second trial to be told that they are incredibly busy, and short handed due to one of the stylists getting injured, so they would not be able to accommodate. I have never heard of a hair stylist rejecting a potential client for a wedding, as that usually brings more profit than the average clientele. Thankfully I was able to find a much more accommodating hair stylist for my special day. read more

Denise did a beautiful job and the salon is really beautiful. Also, she recommended some products to me if I wanted to try them and they work pretty great. I've also had my hair cut by Jessica there in the past and she's also pretty terrific. Both times, felt like a new person and very glamorous. Also, the owners are lovely people. Everybody's really friendly. It was a very relaxing visit! read more

I recently moved back to the area and did not have a hair stylist. I made an appointment for a keratin treatment with Kate. At first meeting Kate, you're welcomed with a sincere smile and kind demeanor. Kate then told me about another type of keratin treatment, which ended up costing me 1/2 the price of a full keratin treatment and offered very similar results. Not only is Kate a kind woman who really knows about all things "hair", she's an honest woman. I've been to many salons all over the country and it's not often the owner will advise you of an alternative process that is 1/2 the price! Kate also trimmed my hair, which after quarantine for the last 3 months, really needed it!! She did an amazing job on my hair, I walked out feeling very satisfied and in fact made my next appointment before leaving! I'm blessed to have found Kate. She's an outstanding and talented stylist who offers a full range of hair care services. It was a pleasure meeting you today Kate and I look forward to many happy hair styling years with you! All the best to you and your Team! read more

I just got my haircut at this salon and could not be happier with the service, experience and my haircut! I highly recommend Jessica, she is the sweetest and did such a great job! read more

I've been going to Kate Emilies for about 4+ years now. Kate (the owner) is my stylist. The place is comfortable and I'm always greeted with a smile. The salon isn't a high-fashion snobbish type, but I always get a great cut and style from Kate. And from what I see on other clients, their haircuts turned out very nice and stylish too. So why pay more for just the salon name? read more

Jen has been doing my hair at Kate Emilies for several years, as well as my mothers, and we both love it. The place is always very clean and friendly. A lot of my friends think I pay a little too much for a cut, but you get what you pay for! My hair always turns out great and professional and Jen is the best! read more

Been going here for over a year , first visit was with a Groupon. I see Jessica and have no complaints, she's does what I ask , makes suggestions and doesn't cut my hair to short . Quiet salon , easy to get a appointment with not 2 much notice. read more

Went here for the first time to get a haircut. My stylist Jessica did an amazing job with the haircut.. Would definitely recommend go a friend. read more

Love this place. I found it about a year or two ago when I moved into the area. I had went to a bunch of salon's trying to find one that did a good job. I had suffered a few butcher jobs in my quest for Kate Emilies. Jessica was my stylist and I love her! She did a great Job and I've went back for cuts, colors and a straightening treatment. Great place. read more

i've been getting my hair cut by Kate for years. Always pleased with the outcome. My most recent trip I got a keratin treatment, and it made my hair look and feel so much healthier! I love it. read more

The atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff are friendly and professional. I am very pleased every time I leave there. Prices are reasonable too. read more

So amazing! I called for an appointment and they had a spot open for me that day. Jessica is fantastic! I was wanting to bleach and dye the under layer of my hair all sorts of colors and she worked with me to find the best middle ground for what I wanted and what would look best on me. The dye and the cut couldn't have been any better. It was my first time there and I won't go anywhere else now. I never write reviews, but Kate Emilies deserved the 5 stars. read more

Kate is great! She is talented and knowledgeable and I always leave feeling like a million bucks! Always a treat to sit in her chair.

I will admit I have not had my hair cut here, but my step-daughter and husband go all the time. The owner, Kate, is truly a nice person, and she can work really well with an 8 year old. My step-daughter recently cut over 10 inches off to donate to Wigs for Kids, and Kate shaped her hair wonderfully. My husband has a great head of hair, which I love, and she is able to style his well too. I might start going for cuts myself. The only reason I haven't is my close friend is a manager in a salon in NJ where I'm from. So she's been doing my color and cuts for a long time. read more

I think i should have been coming to "Kate" for my haircuts and color many years ago.She is very good and the personal attention she gives to her clients is super---looking forward to my next visit!! JOHN B. read more

Kate did an amazing job and really went out of her way to cut my hair exactly how i wanted it. She made it a point to get to know me as a new client which made me feel valued as a customer. I also love the fact that she is passionate and treats haircutting/styling as an art, rather than just a service...She is extremely knowledgeable on the best products and just an overall talented stylist. Plus, the salon is open until 8 some weekdays, which is very convenient for people like me who have a long commute from work. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!! read more

I WENT THERE TODAY FOR A BOB STYLE CUT. i COULDN'T GET THE HAIR DRESSER TO CUT IT SHORT ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE A BOB AFTER 6 TIMES OF ASKING FOR IT SHORTER IT WAS CLOSE TO WHAT I WANTED (I HAD EVEN BROUGHT A PHOTO) WHEN SHE WAS FINALLY DONE IT WAS COVERED IN GRAPE SMELLING STICKY PRODUCT BUT LOOKED OK SO I PAYED AND LEFT CAME HOME WASHED MY HAIR THE BLEW IT OUT IT AND STRAIGHTEN IT THE HOLE BACK IS VERY UNEVEN I PAYED 45 DOLLARS FOR A SHITTY HAIR CUT AND 20 ON THE CAB TO GET THERE SO NOW I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX IT AND NO WAY TO GET BACK WHEN I CALLED TO TELL THEM ALL I GOT WAS IM SORRY I WISH YOU HAD A CAR. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Went back and got a refund later in the day my refund did not include my tip!! read more

I think Kate Emilies is a good place to go for the investment. Their haircuts are reasonably priced, the salon modern, clean, and there is plenty of parking. Kate cut my hair personally a few times and was always a pleasure to talk to. I could also say she went above and beyond at times to make sure I was satisfied with the cut. My mom and brother also got haircuts at K&E's and were also generally satisfied. Unfortunately, the positive aspects of K&E's were not enough to keep me coming back to this salon, despite its extreme proximity to my home and reasonable prices. I will say that the receptionist who makes appointments for this salon can be a bit difficult at times and made me feel like my business was not important in her apparent willingness to find a time that worked for me to come in (my mom and brother had a similar experience). Kate did an awesome job at giving me a shorter haircut and bangs! She actually nailed the bangs (literally cut them exactly how I wanted) and let me come in to trim my bangs in between haircuts for free! The only down-side to this experience was after the second hair/bang cut she gave me. I did not mention to her that that particular cut extremely important because it was my b-day/ I expected my now-fiance to propose during that weekend as well. The cut seemed fine at the salon but once I got home and washed my hair, I was so very dismayed to see that the bangs looked bad, just choppy. I called her back immediately to see if we could figure out a time for her to fix them and she literally made herself very available to fix my bangs but unfortunately, I could not find the time to make my way back to her salon prior to the proposal and ended up with a bad hair cut for that super special day. Kate did end up fixing my bangs afterwards but basically refused to admit that the bangs had been cut incorrectly/ apologize for that. I wish this experience had not put me off to going to Kate's because otherwise I very well may still be a customer of hers. On a side-note -I also know my mom had to visit Kate twice to get her roots re-dyed after my mom realized the initial color Kate applied was not the correct shade. Overall: I'd say definitely try K&E's, its a unique salon for the area, but also definitely make sure you are happy with the cut you receive, especially if it is before a very special occasion. read more

"Very good service, excellent hair cut, would definitely recommend to a friend."

My daughter and I went here on my sister's recommendation. We both got wash/cut/blowdry. $40 for me, $30 for her, not including tip. Both stylists did a great job, were very nice and I got the best tip about managing my unruly hair from my stylist without having to buy any of the expensive salon products. Would absolutely recommend. read more

I just had a keratin relaxing treatment with Jessica. She did an amazing job. I've had this process before but never did my hair come this smooth and soft. The price is right and the service was great. Jessica is very professional and completed the process effortlessly. Thank you my hair looks great. read more

Went here for the first time (thanks to a Living Social deal), and I'm so happy that I did! Friendly, professional, top-notch stylists. I walked out with a haircut and highlights that I'm really happy with, and I'm really pleased to have found a place I'll go back to. I highly recommend giving Kate Emilies A Salon a try--you'll be glad you did. I know I am! read more

My mom was diagnosed with cancer two weeks ago and wanted one haircut before her hair fell out. Jessica from the salon came out to the house the same day and cut moms hair and was compassionate and wonderful. Other experiences at the salon have been great also. Outstanding prom updos. Cannot thank them enough. read more

Kate is a wonderful hairdresser. Great cuts, great color. So glad I found her!
