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!

Diana and GiGi (sorry if I misspelled!) were able to quickly fill in for a stylist who was sick on…read moremy wedding day! The team of two were able to tackle ELEVEN heads of hair in 6 hours straight. And they did a wonderful job. I looked like I walked straight off the red carpet at the Oscars. And they were so patient and kind with both of my nieces (my flower girls). They did exactly what they asked for and more - adding sparkles and making them feel like princesses. I couldn't recommend Diana and GiGi enough. 5 stars!

I had always gotten my hair done in Manhattan and was wary of getting it done in the suburbs (was having nightmares of a chunky highlighted blond bob) but decided to give this place a try. I'm so so so glad I did! The space is immaculate and they have the proper procedures in place to safely get your hair done. There are 2 stylists and everyone had on a mask / I watched the spaces get cleaned in between clients. It's got great lighting and design and right next to the train station. On top of that I came out with amazing hair, perfect blonde beachy waves and had an overall great service/expwro. I liked this even better than my city hair so I will definitely be back and sending all my friends here.

This was my first time at the salon. Kelsey exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with my…read moreBalayage! I used to get my hair done at a top salon in NYC but after becoming a new mother, it was just not possible to travel there. Kelsey's salon is very open and inviting. She is extremely knowledgeable in all things hair and is super confident when she is speaking with you. She even started her own line of products. I really liked that she took the time to explain what she was going to do and my options. I needed some color correction and wanted something more bright. She got right to work! Painting and highlighting my hair! It was kind of an art watching her. I also really appreciated how super nice and down to earth she is. I mean who wants to walk into a salon and deal with snobs! This is a hidden gem in Westport, CT! Her staff is also super warm and friendly! Highly highly recommend this place! You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to my next appointment with Kelsey in November!

I made an appointment on line today for an updo this coming Friday morning (as you can see from the…read moreattached pic, there were many times available). I have a wedding to attend Friday night and was happy to find an appt at this late date. Soon after booking for 11:30 AM, I received an email from the owner Tamara advising the appt was not accepted. I called and receptionist told me that the appointment was "rejected" and instead of offering me another time, she suggested I go somewhere else, with no explanation. I asked why they don't want my business, and she said Tamara would call me within a half hour. It has been hours now and no phone call... not the way to treat a potential new customer...
