That's a feat. I was worried it was going to fall out or something and it's totally fine. My next appt is in NOV!

Also, if Bella isn't free, I am more than 100% comfortable and confident to go with any other stylist. So yes, I travel from Old Saybrook Connecticut to Branford to have our hair done.

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.

Somehow when I go to Katy this is all avoided (??) My hair looks very natural. Even as it grows out, it somehow blends. highly recommend!

I've been going to Salon Epic for almost 10 years - specifically Melissa. She has always done such…read morean amazing job on my hair over those years. Everyone in this salon is so good at what they do, and they are all so kind. I want to call out a review from a "Mary" that I see here and make it a point to state how Melissa is the complete opposite of what that review stated. She has become one of my good friends, she works her tail off, helps to teach and train her team, and is genuinely so talented. I've NEVER heard Melissa walk around the salon bossing anyone around, talking bad about clients - again, quite the opposite. To make a fake account specifically to talk poorly about someone to try and tarnish their name and reputation that they've worked so hard for is embarrassing, "Mary." Countering that review with a real, truthful one. I would and have recommended this place and Melissa to anyone.

Laura, the owner of Epic Salon, has colored and cut my hair for about a year. At my last visit she…read moresaid, "we are going to do something different". Different turned into a disaster. The color was not consistent and she rinsed my highlighted hair with dark hair that still had dye. Surprise surprise, the light hair was darkened. Laura denied doing this and has taken no responsibility for the mistake preferring to blame me for just being unhappy with my hair. No apology or even goodbye, Laura and her daughter hid in the backroom sending someone out to do the billing. I have spent hundreds of dollars and many hours attempting to correct her mistake. Apologizing for her error would have gone far. We all make mistakes, but to refuse to accept responsibility and leave me hanging is not professional. I will never go back to this salon and will advise all to do the same.

I went in again today, and Erin fixed my hair (free of charge) and it looks absolutely amazing. The roots are blended perfectly, and my root touch up looks so perfect and it is blended seamlessly. She also gave me a free blow out, which she absolutely did not need to, but she did and my hair just looks so great! I am more than happy with it. I also did the conditioning treatment, which revitalized my dead hair. Overall, I would highly recommend Salon J and especially Erin. I have always loved her haircuts, and I'm now happy that I can confidently endorse her hair dyeing and root touch ups as well. I used to go to New York to get my hair done, and my only regret is that I didn't go to Erin earlier. I'll miss her and amazing hair cutting/dyeing!

So so disappointed and unflattering on me. I hate being seen in public with this hair that cost over $300.
