Absolute Magic by Natalie at Philip Salon and Spa! I had the BEST experience at Philip Salon and Spa, all thanks to Natalie! I came in with overly brassy hair--full of unwanted red and orange tones--and Natalie completely transformed it. Her color correction skills are unmatched. She listened so carefully to what I envisioned, asked thoughtful questions, and made me feel so comfortable and understood from the start. The end result? A gorgeous, rich, natural tone that completely got rid of the brassiness and brought my hair back to life! And the styling--wow. She gave my hair the perfect finish with soft, beautiful waves that made me feel so confident. If you're looking for someone who truly listens, cares, and delivers flawless results, Natalie is it. I couldn't be happier and will absolutely be returning! Highly recommend Natalie at Philip Salon and Spa read more

I am new to the area and tried two high-end salons before coming to Phillips Salon in Stamford. I waited a month to review the salon because I wanted to share that I noticed an improvement in my hair. I have to say that Phillip is a very talented stylist and was very informative on the best way to take care of my haircut. It was one of the best I have ever had. I walked out of the salon with everything I needed to care for my hair for the next month or so, and prices were reasonable. The staff is friendly, and the salon has a pleasant atmosphere. read more

Natalie really took her time to both understand what I wanted with regard to color and cut and to execute it. She is super friendly and professional, and my expectations were far exceeded! The salon is six chairs, so it's not overwhelmingly buzzy, and you don't feel like you're on an assembly line. Yet the quality of work is top notch! I think I've found my new place! :) read more

Natalie is amazing. She just gave me the perfect cut that I can let air dry or style. I highly recommend her.

Salon is deceiving from the outside, but very cute and welcoming when you walk in. I booked an appointment with Natalie as a new client. She delivered above and beyond my expectations. I love it! I have gotten so many compliments, thank you Natalie! read more

My daughter Cayla got the best haircut I have ever seen a few years ago by Philip. We then spent the next years going to Super Cuts until her hair became a mess. I said this week, 'Let's go to Philips for a proper haircut.' Again, the most beautiful pixie haircut just like a young Jean Seberg. We are both so thrilled and everyone on FB loves it too. From now on, just Philip Salon. Days later I am still so delighted - perfection. read more

Philip Salon And Spa - Hair Salons Near Me - Wilton, Connecticut

My experience here wasn't really terrible until the end. Philip is incredibly aggressive, rude and kind of scary. Be aware that when you go to this place the junior stylist Natalie gives a lot of unsolicited advice. From the moment I sat down in the chair and took out my ponytail all she could do was pull at my hair (which I'm not sure why she constantly needed to do) and tell me how much she "didn't like what was going on with my hair." She went to the length to show me the back of my hair to show me "what it's doing back there." I was trying not to laugh, because first of all my hair had an ombre, only IN THE FRONT and I must of had to explain this to her multiple times and tell her that my hair color was very intentional. She made me feel like I needed to defend my hair constantly throughout our conversation because she was bashing the current state of my hair so bad. I was trying my best to not let her offensive attitude make me emotional but I have never in my life had to repeat myself so much,  to get my message across to a hairstylist. And at the end of the day her title is "junior stylist" how can she think she has so much knowledge and expertise about a stranger's hair that she just looked at, it was such an odd and strange experience.   I didn't want to be rude to her because she seemed like she must have been in her late teens...it's aa though she didn't think I had a mirror and i didnt know what my hair looked like, she was so condescending. Anyway,  I booked with Natalie for a glaze treatment because I only wanted to pay a smaller rate; and I was very adamant about ONLY wanting a glaze. There was never any mention of an all over color also being applied. All this girl did was tell me that my hair was going to be significantly darker and if I would be okay with that. Never once mentioning she's doing more than a glaze, in the same sentence of her making sure I was okay with a darker result, I said yes because of the glaze and she just nodded her head. So at the end I definitely liked my hair however I was expecting to pay  $45  but the total ended up being $95. Which was a huge surprise because I couldn't have said that I ONLY wanted a glaze more times than I already had. The girl was literally smirking at me when she mentioned she also did an all over color. Honesty, I felt racially profiled and extremely disrespected. Instead of having the decency of letting me know that doing a glaze wouldn't achieve my desired results and by doing an all over color for an extra $50 would be extremely beneficial. Like every other hair salon I've ever been to, if the stylist thinks an additional treatment is necessary they COMMUNICATE it ! Because at the end of the day it's my hair and I live with it paying a little more wouldn't have bothered me if it was properly explained to me. Additionally this girl did not respect me enough to tell me prior to starting because she assumed i wouldn't invest $95 in my hair?? I cannot imagine what made her feel OK about her decision to not inform me she was also doing an all over color. Overall a very indecent person and salon. After i paid and also tipped this girl, i left feeling really bad. And i thought maybe instead of writing a review i can just speak to the manager/owner. I spoke to Philip the owner and what a mistake because it was such a scary experience. He was ready to fight from the get. I was calm and did not want to be rude because ultimately I liked the final result but this man wouldn't let me get a word in and was getting louder and more aggressive as i tried to speak to him. He was mainly talking over me and repeatedly said that my hair was a night and day difference and isn't that the point, that my hair looks better. He aggressively asked me what was it that i was looking to achieve by calling and I simply wanted the respect to be told about what treatment was being done to my hair before it gets done, proper human decency and respect. I didnt realize how difficult of a task that is for some. Moreover I wanted to know why it couldn't have been told before hand that just doing a glaze treatment would not give the desired results. In the midst of his aggressive barking he told me to come back to his salon for a full refund when I said I didn't want a full refund he tauntingly repeated that he's gonna give me a full refund. So when I finally agreed and said I will come back this man told me I can have a full refund and he'll also take out the glaze. What a classy person. If you can't decide between coming here or another place, just go somewhere else. Save yourself the disrespect, insults and bad energy and go to a place that respects their clients and their wishes. read more

Philip always gives me the perfect haircut and color. I don't think I've ever been disappointed. Jamie does my husband's hair and he's one happy camper too! thank you Philip and Jamie! read more

Beautiful salon. very welcoming. I got my highlights done with Natalie and she did an amazing job. I definetly recommend going to Natalie.

Shout out to Barb at Philip. I went in not sure what I wanted in color and cut. She listened and gave me a fantastic color and cut!! I highly recommend Barb and Philip Salon. The salon is beautiful and welcoming, Barb is outstanding, as are the other stylists. If you are looking I would say give them a call. The view is beautiful on the river, great cappuccino and massage chairs for hair washing. read more

Would rather go to a great clips compared to this place. Reading the other reviews, I feel as though the owner paid people to write nice things. Service sub par. I don't like to speak negatively of people so I'll leave it at this the owner can just overall do a better job. Lots of other salons in the area-- I would rather go to them! read more

The service at this salon was exceptional and Philip and my stylist Jaimie were awesome. Very kind and attentive to my needs and I am so happy with my color and cut. I have gotten so many compliments! read more

As I am new to Wilton, I should have asked for recommendations for a quality place to get color and cut. Instead I foolishly ended up at Philip salon. It's taken me a while to get over the terrible appointment, but now I need to let all of Wilton know. The owner was rude and inept. Horrible color, then choppy haircut to follow. I will never go back. Stay away! read more

A great atmosphere for sure! Hey i should be using this line for a restaurant, but seriously, you walk in this trendy place and feel a little out of place. Atleast I did. It is very cool, modern decor, with seats that massage you. The girl who washed my hair, gave me a great head massage as well, which almost put me to Sleep. My Hairdresser was called Jaimee. She was pleasant, and was very detailed oriented. I tipped both the hairdresser and the hair washer girl well for going the extra mile, and would go back again. read more

Beautiful salon and my hairdresser is the BEST! Barb Verses is truly a hair sculptress! Highly recommend this gem of a salon!

The spa upstairs is relaxing and fantastic. All facials and services are so relaxing. Amazing natural products.

I used to commute to the city for cut and color. No more. Barb can cut and color like no other. Her cuts accentuate your facial features and grow out beautifully. Her color complements your skin tone and your vision. Barb is gifted - a rare trifecta - amazing personality, listens to what you want and guides you to what you need. Strangers stop me and ask who does my hair. And I send them all to Barb. No more bad hair days for those who have discovered her already. read more

Whether it's for color or cut, Philip has always created wonders. He'll suggest some style I might not have thought of and it will turn out perfectly. The salon looks out on a babbling brook which adds calm and beauty. Love this place. read more

Phil and his staff are really masters of their craft. Always trying new things and bringing clients' hair dreams to life. You always walk out feeling amazing. Tons of parking at the location. Beautiful view. Convenient to all in Fairfield County. And Phil himself is just such a pleasure. You won't be sorry AT ALL that you give them a try. Very experienced with all hair types. And the hair washing chairs are on point. So comfortable while you get an awesome head massage. read more

PHILIP has been coloring and cutting my hair for the past 5 years.....I highly recommend Philip Salon. At this point, I know and trust that my hair will turn out fabulous!!! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a fireplace, water feature and massage rinse chairs overlooking the river to make it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. read more

See all

Great salon and Barb is amazing! She really cares about what she does and is very talented. If you're looking for a new stylist or colorist go to Barb!! read more

I got a haircut by Jaime and it was amazing! She was great. I didn't want it too short and she managed to cut it to perfect length and style. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing and everyone is welcoming and warm there. read more

Thanks Phil. The new salon is great...inviting...comfortable.....and like always, the staff makes the client fell so comfortable. The cut and color is always to my liking and your attention to every detail is remarkable. Wonderful! read more

Once again The Sculptress has turned my limp, thin hair into a bouncing and behaving crown of beauty. Thanks Barb! Barb will lift your hair and your spirits. read more

New to the area, I had my first appointment today with Barb, because of her great reviews on Yelp. I have to say- she was so welcoming! Fun personality, funny- and of course, my color and cut is beautiful. Barb is very good at asking questions about what you want with your hair, as well as your goals. I think it's my favorite haircut and blowout in a very long time! In addition, everyone at the salon is very friendly- it's also very comfortable. They have massage chairs Thank you Barb! read more

I'm not sure if the bad service I received here was due to being short staffed, but it left something to be desired. My hairstylist and colorist was Jaimee who was nice but inattentive. She put color in my hair and left me without a warning on how long it would take to set and went and cut someone else's hair while i sat wondering if she forgot about me! Then the hair washer burnt my head with scalding hot water and scratched my ears repeatedly with her dagger nails. My hair color looked copper even though I asked to take the warm tones out of my blonde hair. Which I wouldn't have asked to be redone if I knew a red tinted light was shining right above my head. What the heck?! The service would have been great if they didn't leave me in my chair waiting frequently without any warnings. I don't think I'll be going back here again, unfortunately. read more

I always like to write my reviews after I have been somewhere more than once. I have had highlights here twice and encountered the same situation. PROS: Everyone at this salon is SO sweet and helpful (with the exception of the surly Asian girl at the front desk) I was offered tea and coffee every time I was here. The massage chair is lovely as you get shampooed. The salon itself is a beautiful space and very clean and well kept the location is convenient with parking (I'm from NY, so this is a big deal) ISSUES: Although the first time I went, I liked the initial color, whatever formula they use seems to become extremely dull and brassy. (a definite no-no for a blonde) The highlights themselves were done meticulously, so I doubt highly that it's the stylists fault, but both times after I washed my hair, it looked like I hadn't had anything done to my hair and within a week or so it looked like I needed to go back again. The color was dull and dark looking, and the roots seemed "dirty" looking no matter how often I washed my hair. I didn't have a cut here, so I don't know what that's like, but I think if you are a blonde (or want to be) you might try somewhere else. read more

I liked their service, my hair came out great the only thing is the ambiance is a little off for me, I don't know why, and it was a tad expensive. I do love it though, and will be returning! read more

HORRID!!! I went in to get highlights and caramel lowlights with Susana. I have pretty thick hair but somehow she was done within 30 min. My hair was dark dark grey with some heavy and chunky blind highlights on top only. When I gagged she said she could fix it but personally wouldnt change a thing! After clarifying shampoo and 3 hours, I went home and my husband asked if it was a joke. He thought I was doing a practical joke. I cried in the bathroom. Went back to fix it with the owner who said he'd do baby blond highlights and tone down the grey. After dropping bleach on my shirt and thus ruining it, I ended up with grey hair and dark brown(!!!) lowlights. I was shocked, it literally matched my shirt. When I said, I thought we were doing baby blond highlights, he looked at the hair and said - its a good color though. I am wearing my hair up these days, its less hideous. I have to wait at least 2 weeks before I can do anything about it. Everyone still asks why did I change my hair. With thanksgiving and christmas parties, I am just miserable. If I had used box color and done it myself, I would have been happier. Conditioning and restoring my hair is going to take lot of time and money. DO NOT GO!!! read more

A great personal salon. I go to my "Sculptress" who not only greets you with love but spends time assessing how the previous cut worked and what to do going forward. She makes me feel beautiful and knows how to use a pair of sissors as a paint brush.. much more delicate than a chisel. . If you want a quality couifing see Barbara at Philip Salon. She's beautiful inside and out. read more

Got a haircut there last min. Men's haircut was reasonable and very helpful when asking about how i liked my hair and whatnot. The hairwash chairs are the most comfortable and the chairs massage while they rub and wash your head. Great experience for my first time from Tori. Thanks. read more

ALWAYS ALWAYS get the best cut and color with Barb - she is magical with scissors and color. Super talented and I am so glad that I discovered her (through Yelp) several years ago! I tried so many different hair salons and hair stylists but it wasn't until I met Barb that I could finally stop looking. I always leave happy and get many compliments. Barb is also very nice, fun and personable and makes you feel right at home. The salon staff are all very warm and friendly, always ready to make you a delicious cappuccino and the massage chairs at the hair wash sinks are amazing! read more

I've had the same NYC stylist for 20 years now (yes, touch of OCD), but in a desperate pinch gave them a chance. Tori spent the better part of 10 minutes to understand how best to deal with my cowlicks, waves, length, etc. The result was EXACTLY what I wanted, and better in some respects. Surroundings have the right balance - stylish but not pretentious, comfortable but not folksy. Tori is highly recommended. read more

Barb (AKA The Sculptress) is nothing short of amazing. From my first visit she's worked with me to understand what I like, and she's honest about what looks good considering my face shape and hair texture. Barb thinks ahead, planning how the current cut will grow and new styles to try for the next time. She's an artist and a perfectionist. read more

Referred to Barb (aka The Sculptress) and made an appointment for yesterday. Prior to this, I'd been to the same salon for many years, and had the feeling I wasn't being heard any longer. My hair wasn't the right color. So I'd let it go for a few months ... touching up the roots at home best I could and trying to decide what to do. Had such a nice appointment yesterday. Great color, glaze, cut ... Barb talking me through each step of the way. Taking time to listen to what was working and what wasn't ... and now I feel SO much better. My hair color works with my skin color again, and it feels great! read more

Love this small intimate salon! Barbara always gives the best hair cuts and color she always makes me look and feel younger, She is amazing!!! I highly recommend this salon. Barb also known as The Sculptress" has never disappointed in all the years she has been doing my hair. She loves what she does and is always taking classes along with the other stylist and the owner Philip to make sure they are educated and up to date on the latest trends in the industry!!! read more

I wish I could remember my stylist's name, I went here a few times a few years ago while visiting a friend (I moved out of Wilton in the 90s, but grew up here) the woman was a brunette and from Stamford, I hope she is still there-I want to say her name was Stephanie. She did a great job on my hair which is thick and long (I am black) and was very personable. The four stars are for her. I can't really say anything remarkable about the salon itself. Nothing memorable. read more

Barb at this Salon is very skilled and cares to get it just what you want. And a look-a-like for TV show American Housewife, with a good sense of humor. Highly recommend, read more

Phil is amazing, he's down to earth and knows the geometrics of cutting. I've referred my mom, grand mother and friends and they've loved his cuts and color. The salon was beautiful in the previous location but the new location (moved a few doors down) is truly spectacular. It's like an upscale NYC salon with cappuccino bar that overlooks a stream in the backyard patio area. read more

All I've ever gotten done here since I moved from DC is a wash and style with a trim a few times. The service is great, the chair massages are awesome while you get a wash, and the head massage they give is out of this world. Never been to a salon that offers so much. Anyway, as far as quality of actual hair service-which is really what am coming for, it's ok. Again, it takes a lot for me to have a new stylist color or do funky treatments on my hair....have to build the trust. And I would say that the staff at Philips are quickly gaining my trust. Definitely a place to go. read more
