Took my daughter here for a father/daughter pedi. My first one. Outstanding. No pain and the ladies were wonderful. I called ahead to make an appointment because the shop is intimate. I will be back! read more

This was a great find for a neighborhood nail salon. The place was very clean and the nail tech I worked with did a great job. I got a no chip manicure and standard pedicure and was in and out in about an hour and a half. A week after, my nails are still holding up well. Prices were very reasonable, and I'm looking forward to going back for my next mani/pedi. I would recommend calling in advance for an appointment, even if it's day of. They have a steady stream of customers and not a huge waiting area. read more

Would definitely recommend this salon for no chip manicures. I have lived in the neighborhood for 4 years and just started going there after a few other places nearby went down in quality. Salon Hydrate has quality polish and friendly service while providing a great mani that lasts 2 weeks or more. Will not be going anywhere else from now on! read more

Amazing!!! I wish I would had found this place sooner my gosh they are amazing. Costumer service is a 5, the place is super clean, the ladies that work are super nice and give tips for what's good for you. I've got my nails done there twice and both times they were amazing, they last long too. In my old nail shop I had to comeback every two weeks but here I go back to re do my nails every 3 weeks. Not only did I get my nails done there I also do my eyebrows and they never disappoint. What I love about this place is that they don't use those nail drills that damage and make your nails weak. It's by appointment only and I love it because it's very Covid safe. I highly recommend this place they threat you like you're family here. read more

We have been coming to the Salon since its opening! Jen Jimmy And Brittney have been part of our lives for so long making us beautiful for every special occasion in our lives. Joanne and her nail staff have been with us since my daughters were young! Words cannot express how much we adore and value them all. During the pandemic people realized how much we need people in our lives that make us feel beautiful and how hard they work for us. We get compliments whenever we use them and they have and always will be extended family. Love this salon! read more

If you want great lashes that look fantastic and LAST - Joanne is your girl. She takes the time to make sure she knows the look you want and the lash length best for you. I highly recommend her! read more

They were able to fit me in last minute with no problem. I got a no chip manicure and she did such a great job. She was really attentive and took her time to make sure it was down perfectly. read more

Hidden gem! We came here because our other regular nail salon was overbooked. There was 4 of us and they took us in last minute during a weekday evening. Wow were we impressed! Their service was outstanding, their work was very well done, and their efficiency was great. Nails have lasted very long, lots of options to choose from and the staff is super helpful in giving feedback. I would recommend this place and look forward for my follow up visit read more

I called on Friday January 15. I called and asked the girl who answered the phone if they cut kids hair because I have 2 boys, 10 & 5. She said, "I don't think so, let me ask". After 5 seconds she came back on the line and said "no". I wanted to explain that my oldest, the 10 year old, wanted to dye his hair blue and get a fade. I got out 3 words and she started talking over me to say, "ok thanks. Thanks. Goodbye" and hangs up on me. Not sure how well they cut hair but, their customer service and phone skills suck!!! read more

Loooooove them! Their service is phenomenal and they're attentive to detail. Honestly, this has been th wonky mail spot we're my no chip manis have lasted longer than two weeks. read more

The girls who work here are all very nice. Lily, who did my manicure and pedicure, did an amazing job on my nails. She took her time and ensured that I was happy with it. Will definitely be back! read more

I was able to get in last minute. Thank god someone cancelled. When I first arrived, it was friendly and vibrate. I love the fact the nail techs knew their customers and their family. Even though I had to sit there for 3 hrs for 3 services it still wasn't bad. They took their time and checked in with me frequently to ensure I was comfortable. I would highly recommend read more

I called ahead about making an appointment same day and I will able to on November 22nd. It was for 12:30PM. When I arrived I was seated within 10 minutes After my appointment, which is amazing. But after my experience changed. Joann was the woman doing my nails, she greeted me and was at first a pleasant woman, but when after hearing about her speak about an individual saying I quote, "I hate that bitch," I am not fond a her. As a professional it's degrading for an establishment to be speaking about other individuals like that. Isn't the point of an establishment is to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty? Well Joann you failed at that. With Joann, yes she knew about the products and what I wanted as a, "CUSTOMER," but I have never been to an establishment, as a nail salon, where my nails have all fallen off within two days after my nail appointment. With me, this establishment is a fail. I will never go back to this place. I will never recommend this place. Please see pictures: NOTE: This wouldn't happen if this was an establishment where work ethic was correctly executed. read more

Really love this salon. My son and I both get our haircut here. The salon is clean and has a friendly vibe when you walk in. The staff works hard to help you achieve the look that you want and make sure you leave there happy!! I will say- my son never let anyone cut his hair with scissors (only clippers prior) and the staff eased his fears- so I also recommend for kids too. In addition to the haircut services, the nail tech staff is awesome. Seriously- the best mani and pedis in the neighborhood and they always work you in even last minute. I have referred friends for bridal parties and events- loved the services they received for bridal parties. Overall- this salon has a really fun, laid back vibe- but still is very professional and have very loyal customers (because of the great service they have) Highly recommend if you are looking for a new place for your hair, nails- or a salon to style your wedding or special event. read more

I'm a new regular here. LOVE THEM. Great at what they do, so reasonably priced. SO friendly. Best salon I've ever been to. read more

I REALLY wanted to love this salon. When I walked in, I felt like I was inconveniencing the staff as they seemed very busy on Facebook and primping themselves. While waiting for my service I went to sit on the front couch and it was extremely dirty with hair, dust, and fish food all over it. (Tip: don't have a white couch in a salon!) As I went into the back room to get my eyebrows done, the employees were SCREAMING a conversation to eachother (not very relaxing). I go to lay down and there's gum on the recliner. To top it off, the guy that did my eyebrows was not gentle at all and kept shoving my head from side to side. Not worth it. Go somewhere else. read more

Love those bitches. JoJo is cool, she waxed my everything and she's rough but I like it, she did my gf nails so I'm gonna rave about her only on her waxing bc my nail girl was Maggie, Maggie sucks! Don't get her because I need her to be free ONLY FOR ME! Love those scandalous hags, great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and excellent service. Love it here! Foreva. read more

Don't waste your time. I made an appointment. Got there on time. As I waited 15 minutes another women arrived claiming to have the same appointment time. one of the nail technicians went somewhere in the back to get Jimmy. Being that we both had an appointment with him. He asked who I was, I gave him my name and he said nope your appointment was for 2:00 not 3:00. Even though the other person arrived 15 minutes late didn't seem to matter. I explained that no way I would have booked an appointment for 2:00 when I don't get out of work until 2:30. This place is really a nail salon. They don't even have a receptionist to take the appointments. Seriously find a real hair salon. read more

To the owners/managers: if you enjoy making lots of money and having your business boom via reputation by word-of-mouth... Then please train your employees on customer service. They lack basic manners and are very unwelcoming. read more

I've been a customer for years and I am always going to be a customer. Excellent service, friendly and professional. Clean new shop. Never packed. Walk ins welcomed and accomodated in timely manner. read more

Sent my girl here to get her nails done. The matte finish wasn't the best, then one of the nails came off after 5 days. We set up a filler appointment and had to wait 2 more days, then they forgot her appointment, so she wasn't able to be seen, and then 2 more nails popped off that day. She just took the rest off and we're going to find another salon. read more

They take me in quickly when I go to get my eyebrows done. They do a nice job every time. They are always friendly when I come in and it's easy to schedule an appointment. read more

They always are able to get me squeezed in for a mani, pedi. They do a great rate at polish changes and it is close to my house.

I actually really like this place. I am so happy to see a more hip and trendy salon in the area. It's exactly what this neighborhood needs. I have only used their nail and waxing services but both are awesome. They give you a really nice massage when you are getting a pedicure, not a fast quick one. They also take their time and my nails are always perfect. I go to Joann to get my Brazilians and she is a waxing rock star. 10-15 minutes and she is done, and it doesn't even hurt as bad as some places I have been. I am hoping to go in and get my haircut today so I can update my review, but so far so good! :) read more

Finally, there's a salon in Bridgeport that does a good job AND makes me feel at home. HYDRATE opened mere feet from my home so I had to give it a supporting-local-business go. I walked in and asked if they had any time. 45 minutes? [Sure. No worries I'll go finish watching the Price is Right.] Wait, let me check to be sure. . . Great, name? I'm so glad you came by! [Word.] It wasn't until after I left looking fabulous (and feeling beautiful) that I realized what was lacking in my previous hair home: comfort and respect. Turns out you can do a good job, be a complete professional and not be a pretentious ass; who'd thought? Gino is amazing. He made me feel great about my hair's natural wave. I felt like a quality client, not a hassle. He took his time and did a beautiful job. Growing out kinda culry hair is hard enough without someone hacking it off every time I try to get it trimmed and shaped. He understood what I wanted and set about doing it. He wasn't hurried. I didn't feel out of place, hurried or frumpy. When I requested more, shorter bangs Gino was my man even warning me when I was crossing the line to mullet-hipster-can't-see-shit territory. He did admit, "it's going to be a work in progress?" Yes, GIno, yes. I will be back. My hair can be our project. read more

Jen did a perfect job chopping and coloring my hair!! She suggested what would look good on me and I went with it!! She does an awesome job and will be going back. read more

So while I haven't experienced the hair aspect yet. I am pretty faithful in my following of Joanne who does lashes, waxing, and nails. She does great work always makes sure you leave happy. The number of compliments from people is astounding. And these come from people in the industry such as make up artists and aestheticians. I admittedly travel halfway across the city to see her. I will have to try the hair services but the whole salon was spotless when I was there and everyone was very nice. Very modern and social. read more

I love the place. They are so friendly and helpful with anything you need. They all put the extra effort in. I have been going there since they open and have no complaints at all. Best haircuts I've ever had. read more

The staff is friendly, and I am always pleased with the result. They accommodated my large bridal party, including 2 kids. They let the kids pick fun designs and were great with them! It is very reasonably priced. read more

I always have a GREAT experience at Salon Hydrate. Gino is the BEST!!! The rest of the staff is always very polite, courteous and friendly whenever I am there. I have never had a disappointing cut from Gino. The owner always offers me something to drink and is very HOT! The place is beautiful and a great addition to the new and upcoming neighborhood. read more

I used this salon for eye lash extensions for weddings. They do a superb job and all of their staff are very friendly

When I seen that a salon, not just another place to get your hair cut, opened up on Morgan street. Thought this was great, bring some more business to the area. Went there, the salon itself is very nice. Very moderen, maybe to much for the area. Though I will not go back. The man who was cutting my hair, was to busy talking and gossing with his friends. To make the situation worse, it was all done in Spanish. I feel if your working on my hair, I should have your attention. The salon is not cheap and I feel like I deserve the attention. The women who owns the place, offered coffee for those of us who were waiting. Though as owner, she should of acted more like it. Again, its great to see new business in the neighborhood, but they need to work on service to keep it. The cut I received was average, maybe if he wasn't so busy talking, I would of been more impressed with it. read more

If there was an option to give no stars I would. I came for a no chip and it was a disaster. The unwelcoming staff is always busy with themselves in the mirror and gossiping. Started my nail service with the nail tech not soaking my nails before trimming my cuticles, she just started cutting my cuticles away which made all my fingers bleed, this should've been a red flag. She then proceeded to put the polish on and it was all over my fingers. When I got home I had to peel away all the polish remnants on my skin. A few days pass by and the Polish started peeling off my nails!!! I truly wanted to like this place since it is so close to home but this type of service is unacceptable. read more

I'm soooo happy there is finally a nice salon in the neighborhood! And I got a great haircut from Gino. I'm definitely going back...

I went to Salon Hydrate for the second time 2 days ago. This visit was the first time I had my hair cut there. I bounce around from salon to salon mostly because I never found a place that I truly loved and I like to try new places. Well, this is it. I really loved the haircut and I can't remember the last time I left a salon and loved my hair. I will most definitely be back there for my next haircut. The staff is super friendly and one of the other reviews said that they shout conversations to each other, well so what, join in!!!! read more

DO NOT go here for hair. This place does a good job at nails but AWFUL for hair. Do not go if your are looking for anything advanced to be done to your hair because the two people that do hair act so confident in their abilities yet they are really uneducated on what they are doing. For example, they messed up a simple cut on me one time, and also were unable to dye my hair all one color correctly. These are both things people can do at home so you would expect that these two hair "professionals" who act so "experienced" would be able to do the simplest hair requests. The whole salon is very unprofessional, which is fine if you are looking for a risky, casual and minimal hair experience. I made a huge mistake by giving this salon too many chances. read more

Love this place... I was recently in the salon and had such a good expierence it prompted me to write a reveiw... I made an appointment for a cut and color and I cant wait to go back for my next appointment. I have had nothing but compliments on my new style since I have been there. The staff was awesome it felt like I was hanging out with friends I have known for ever! read more

I have been going to this salon since it opened and I love it. I get my hair colored by Jen and she is definitely great at what she does. The staff is always welcoming and even keeps my 5 year old entertained the whole time. read more

I had a gift certificate for Salon Hydrate that I needed to use. I had no problem scheduling an appointment for mani/pedi. Jennifer, the owner, has recently added a specialist for the mani/pedi. The salon is modern and clean. Yay! While I was there I decided to have a blowout. They were very accommodating and fit me in. It is a very friendly place, lots of people talking. Services were very good. My manicure lasted a week which is unusual for me. I would definitely recommend Hydrate. read more
