I was really looking forward to my appointment at Adam Broderick in Southbury and had high hopes of…read morefinding my new go-to salon. Unfortunately, my experience was incredibly disappointing. I arrived a few minutes after my appointment time - maybe 10 minutes at the most, which I know isn't ideal. When I checked in, I was given a robe and waited to be seen. While I was waiting, I didn't get the impression that there was an urgent time constraint. Beth greeted me warmly, and we sat down for a consultation about the haircut and color I wanted. However, after discussing everything, she told me that we had run out of time and that she would no longer be able to do my hair. I was shocked. While I understood that I had arrived a few minutes late, I never imagined that would result in my appointment being canceled after I had already checked in, waited, and completed a consultation. She also asked how I had booked the appointment and commented that she dislikes when people book online. As a first-time client, I had no idea I was expected to book a specific way or that scheduling online could create an issue. I rearranged my schedule for this appointment and was genuinely excited to finally get my hair done. Instead, I was left feeling embarrassed, uncomfortable, and dismissed as I gathered my things and left. In all my years of getting my hair done, I've never had an experience where I was turned away after arriving, checking in, and beginning a consultation. Sadly, this wasn't the welcoming experience I was hoping for as someone new to the Southbury community.

I had a great experience here today. Welcome to Southbury! The space they've created is so original…read moreand inviting, I especially loved the openness and window views. The stations are spacious and have a lot of counter space so I don't feel like I'm on top of another client. Alex was clearly very knowledgeable about her craft and knew the right shape and length for my face. From someone who has tried many salons due to my husbands job, I can say this one has staying power. I especially enjoyed the blow dry at the end which is not included at every salon in the town. Fair price and excellent service! They have been at a different location and moved from a smaller space in Newtown, so they are all experienced stylists. They even have a full barber service. This is also somewhere I would bring my kids for a cut because it's not stuffy or overpriced!

I switched to a high end salon and got the same if not worse cut for $35+ $ more. I'm back at cost cutters! If only there were more incentive for the employees then there would not be such an employee turnover which makes it difficult for the customer that gets comfortable with the same person that they have been seeing. Otherwise hats off for an awesome cut at a great price. S. Downs

I have a lot of hair, and it had not seen scissors or color since early January, except for that frightful bangs trim I gave myself. I was a little nervous about the reception I would receive. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by Daniel, who checked me in and offered me a beverage. I accepted the offer of water, but that Mimosa was pretty tempting on a Friday afternoon! Shortly thereafter, I met Gianna. What a love! We hit it off right away. And she didn't hate my hair! She looked at a photo of how I'd like it cut, we talked about the color and since it had been so long, she took 2" off the ends, cut a bunch of layers into the style and gave me the refresh I so desperately needed! The salon itself is nicely decorated and trendy. There are several style stations and a separate room with more stations and an area with sinks and an area for mixing color. All of the stylists and assistants were friendly and really appeared to like what they do. It was nice to see that the stylists supported and complimented each other's work. I booked a return appointment when I paid and truly look forward to going back. I will definitely recommend Whip Salon to my friends! I'm sorry, I didn't take photos!

All but two of the most recent reviews refer to Sandy Hook Hair Company, which closed in 2019 (see…read morehistory description) after nearly 25 years. The owner, Bonnie Fredericks, retired and the stylists work elsewhere. Salon Newtown is part of an expanding franchise (https://www.whipsalon.com/franchise). This franchise location was bought in 2019 by a stylist known as Marcelle Tiffany. The salon is tastefully decorated, making most of the limited space. Parking is easy. Of note, the salon is acting as a trailblazer of sorts ... participating in the Local Green Salon initiative, in which chemical-contaminated metal waste from color treatments are recycled. Wondering about the name? In a Nov/Dec 2019 SalonToday.com article, the franchise founder, Amy Pai, claims it's a slang term for hair. As it's the first reference I've come across, perhaps it's a term she created to help the franchise stand out. Adding to confusion, the "slang" term is popularly used as a verb in salon promotions (e.g. #getwhipped ) , inviting speculation about the origin of inspiration. Definitely brings attention!
