6 STARS IF I COULD!! Honestly the best Salon I've been to around Fairfeild county. The environment is great, the owners are very friendly. This is my first time coming here but I'll definitely be coming here from now on! Thank u Sherman for telling me about this amazing place. read more

The whole team raises you, and makes you feel beautiful no matter what you're going through the second you walk in this salon. This salon is a city staple by now. "I love them" does not do the salon justice. They're the best. read more

Worst single process ever. My roots still showed lots of gray afterwards, and when I washed my hair lots of the color rinsed out. The colorist insisted on rinsing my hair in less than 30 minutes (despite my request to allow my roots to process longer). Waste of money. Not sure if they wanted to rush me out the door or did it on purpose so that I'll never return. read more

Underwhelming for the price. Rude and incompetent. So disappointed and went back to give it another try and it was worse.

Every time I go it's perfect! Maria has been coloring my hair for about a year. I have a tendency to go to blonde. I decided to change it up and I'm so impressed with the results. Marie totally understood my vision and I am getting compliments everywhere I go. I'm going back this week so Dawn can give me a cut. Can't recommend highly enough read more

Good blowouts and eyebrows threading. It's a clean and neat salon with great staff! Their pedicures are great too!

I really can't say enough good things about this place. Danielle colored my hair and it turned out AMAZING. I was so nervous after having my hair botched at another place but she took her time and I love the results. They also get you coffee/water and have amazing support staff. This is my new favorite place! read more

Tina has been coloring my hair for years and is amazing. She took me from a fashion red to chestnut with highlights. She listens and can turn my vision into reality. Not only is she amazing so is all the staff there. They are so accommodating and polite. 5 stars from me!!!! read more

Very disappointed. 1st appointment I provided a photo and explained what I wanted. My hair came out nothing like the photo or what I had asked for. When I expressed this to the stylist she argued with me about it so I simply paid and left. For $260 I felt like I needed to get the service I paid for so I called back later that day and they said they would happily fix it for me. 2nd "fix" appointment with a different stylist, basically had the same experience. Doesn't look anything like the photo I provided and the front of my face is not blended well- when I asked her about this she basically brushed me off. My hair got damaged from processing it so much and both times it came out Nothing like the picture or what I had asked for. And now the front looks even worse. And the attitudes from the stylists was not warranted- clearly it's a poor styling job. Will never go back. read more

Great cut with Everson- very very happy. I have thick unruly hair and he worked with it like a champ. And he doesn't talk your ear off the whole time which was blissful. read more

My daughter and her maid of honor and myself, mother of the bride, had our hair and makeup done for the wedding last week and everyone raved about the results. We had our services at 10:00AM and at midnight not a hair was out of place and our make up was still intact. Amazing. We looked like movie stars! I never believed that hair and make up would hold up in 88 degree weather all day, (outdoor ceremony) but it did. Grateful to Salon Shahin's very talented and professional staff for making a very important element to the wedding a smashing success. read more

Called to make an appointment week of June 1, scheduled for June 9 at 1215pm. Showed up at 1214pm to which they said I was very early and would have to wait. I said I thought it was 1215 and they said oh yes another customer came in 8 minutes late so she is behind. Asked if I could wait nearby and someone would come get me I waited around the corner for 30 minutes and still nothing. I approached the door and Gave them a shrug, then they came out and said it was just about ready. I left. Updated 6/16: The salon called me back and apologized for the inconvenience and even offered a free hair cut! I rescheduled and was able to go back and get a quick and lovely haircut. Appreciate the customer service in reaching back out and helping me get my first hair cut in months! read more

I had an awesome cut with Antoine - I showed up ten minutes late, and they graciously sat me down anyway. Antoine took the time to chat with me about what I wanted - and then actually took off as little as possible to maintain length while getting a better style for the summer. I highly recommend! read more

I have been coming to Salon Shahin for years, and my mother has been coming even longer. When I was a child I remember coming in and waiting for my mother, being offered cookies, hot chocolate, and other goodies as I waited.  Now that I'm an adult, I cannot imagine getting my hair cut anywhere else!  The salon itself its spotless, stylish, and smells great. As soon as you walk in the door you are treated like royalty. They take your coat, lead you to a curtained room to put on your robe and immediately offer you a beverage, coffee, cappuccino, wine, whatever. The service is exceptional! Today I arrived to my appointment early and was offered a free massage, manicure, and hair treatment. While I waited Justine did a deep treatment on my hair. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about both the products and methods.  She gave me some very helpful tips to make my hair healthier and longer (I have long hair, never dyed, that tends to run a little dry on the ends) and massaged my scalp. She even offered to have the on-site masseuse to give me a massage after my cut Tony always cuts my hair and he always does a fabulous job. He is exceedingly professional, friendly, and always know the best cut for my hair. I always leave happy and feeling fabulous. Every experience I had had here has exceeded all expectations. If you are looking for a new salon, try Salon Shahin.  Tony and Dawn are the best! You get your moneys worth and more. I cannot wait for my next visit. read more

Salon Shahin - I was offered a free hair treatment for being early to my appointment. Stylists are all very knowledgeable and helpful. - Hair Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

So, i was so spontaneous with this hair appt... Wanted to go lighter with my highlights since summer is here and decided to check out the salons in my area DT Stamford, read the reviews on Yelp, and boom! Ended up at Shahin.... I was taken care by Anna and told her my wants... So, from talking about the right color for me i randomly ask her if anybody in the salon really knows how to cut curly hair (i have really really curly hair) i explain to her once again what i wanted, a fresh new look, SHORT!!!!! Super short!!!!!! Curly bob short!!!!! What the hell..... And she suggested her boss, supposedly he is the main man for cutting short styles and knows best with my type of hair... To make my long story short, he ended up cutting my hair and Anna doing my color. My end result: Looooooooooved it!!!!!! I couldn't believe that my hair cut came out SO good and edgy, specially for a CURLY HAIR GIRL like me.. I have never been 100% satisfy with a cut specially bc it wasn't done by a non Devachan dry cut specialist (any curly girl knows what im talking about) 2nd love, was my hair color.. Anna did an amazing job as well, she was super nice and tentative. Always offering me something to drink... Btw: they offer you water, coffee, ice coffee, cappuccino and WINE... Whatever you want, they probably could of brought me a fresh squeeze orange juice if i had asked for one, lol.... Hands down a great salon with Great customer services Oooh btw... My cut was done by the actual owner himself Mr. Shahin which i didn't know till mid way through my cut... I was so stoke! :) read more

Salon Shahin - Before & After - Hair Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

At first glance, I was intimidated by this posh place - I love nice things and miss my lifelong salon in the Gold Coast area of Chicago but recent personal issues made me apprehensive. My first step inside - zero pretentiousness, a robe and whatever I'd like to sip on. I took a seat in the lovely "waiting area" and felt an anxiety attack about to come at me with a vengeance. I quickly hailed someone/anyone down for a glass of water to take my pill and try and calm down. No one thought I was being demanding and they seemed genuinely concerned. In walks Lorena, the stylist my neighbor recommended, who kept me upstairs to cut my hair to keep me in a "brighter atmosphere", who massaged my shoulders and scalp and used pressure points to get me out of the throes of my anxiety, who gave my hair some semblance of shape again. Thank you Salon Shahin and Lorena for not only helping me through (what I feel) an embarrassing situation but also for making me feel human again. The entire experience really meant more to me than I can properly convey through text. read more

Coming in from out of town I made my reservations for wedding guest hair and makeup here based on reviews alone. So I'm hoping my review will help people in a similar situation! My mom, 12-year old daughter, and I all got out hair and makeup done here, and my sister (the bride) ended up coming here as well. Everyone was very responsive to what we were looking for, very sweet and kind, the salon itself is a really nice environment. Highly recommend! read more

I used to get my hair done in NYC before moving to Stamford. This salon was just as stellar - professional, friendly and (most importantly) knowledgeable stylists/colorists - for a much more reasonable price point! They listened to what I wanted, but made slight suggestions based on what they thought would be better. JUST TRUST THEM. My balayage and cut came out better than I'd imagined! They know what they're doing and they have a customer satisfaction guarantee. My fickle mind came back within their two week window because I wanted to go just a smidge darker, and they accommodated me without a fuss. A HUGE thank you to Kellie, Shirley and Danielle for my color, wash, cut and blow and to Sherman the GM for his delightful customer service. The cherry on top? They have espressos and cappuccinos available from a high quality machine within the salon. Will certainly be coming back to get any of my hair needs taken care of. Highly recommend Salon Shahin! read more

I have been going to this salon for over a year now. Jaclyn is such a talented and sweet stylist. She has done my highlights beautifully. I have never left this salon disappointed. Even though it's on the pricier side, you definitely get your money's worth. I know it is difficult to find a salon that meets your needs, however this place makes sure their clients our satisfied with their work. I genuinely could not be happier that I found this salon. read more

Everson is just the best! He does an amazing job with blonde highlights. He is meticulous but speedy.

I've been to almost every salon in Stamford I was wiling to try and Lindsey at Salon Shahin was the first person to really get me the blonde color I was looking for. She and the rest of the staff were so considerate, and friendly, qualities that you unfortunately don't see in a lot of salons in this area. On top of that, the itself is beautiful and in a great location. I'll definitely be going back! read more

I was very excited to go meet with Krystle this morning. She added many more high lights in my hair and she also added a toner to make it look brighter. It really looks amazing and I am happy I came back to get it fixed. To top it off they offered me a complimentary blow dry!! Feel very happy and will definitely go back. read more

Salon Shahin - Highlights and correction of root color at Shanin Salon. - Hair Salons Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

This is such a great salon! I came on Saturday to see my regular stylist, Krystle, at her new space in Salon Shahin. From the get-go I was impressed with this space. The ambiance was excellent, the space is inviting, and the service was warm and friendly without being smothering. They also make a great cappuccino - complete with cinnamon sprinkle on top. As for the service, Krystle did an excellent job with a cut and high/low light; there's literally no one else I trust as much as her. The prices were more than reasonable for the service and the sinks are FANTASTIC. Kudos to whoever chose them. They are the only sink I've ever had my hair washed in that hasn't given me a kink in my already messed up neck. I also had my eyebrows waxed and while I think the downstairs ambiance is nice, the wax left something to be desired. The tops were done fine, but the hairs weren't trimmed and when I came home I found there were stray hairs that hadn't been waxed or plucked. I had to pluck them myself and while that's ok, it's not what I paid for. Every other eyebrow waxing I've had has also come with the stray hairs being plucked and the hairs being trimmed and evened up. If I'm paying $25 for a wax, I expect the full treatment - not stray hairs left behind. My final critique is that while I was receiving my service a woman came for her appointment and brought her 7 year old daughter with her. The girl was nice, but disruptive to the atmosphere. Many people come to the salon to relax but this little girl was shrieking about her water having lemon in it, she lost her tooth, she wanted the TV channel changed to cartoons, and just generally couldn't keep still and/or occupied. And I don't blame her, really, as a process at the salon can be 2-6 hours depending on what you're doing. I would encourage the salon to perhaps have a separate area for children where they can have some age-appropriate TV and aren't around patrons who are trying to relax (or, I would encourage parents to not bring their young children to an upscale salon where they are going to be disruptive to people spending hundreds of dollars on treatments in what should, ideally, be a relaxing atmosphere). So, while I would rate Krystle's service a 5 star experience, I am deducting a star from the review for the fact that I had to remove hairs from my own eyebrows after paying for the service and the mild headache I received from the unattended little girl in the dryer section. I'll certainly be back, though, and I certainly recommend this salon above the others I've been to in Stamford. read more

I went to this salon last week for a hair cut. It was my first time visiting this salon. I am happy with my haircut. My appointment was at 11.30 , however, I was a little early and the staff was kind enough to let me in and wait. The staff was really professional and they are taking all the measures necessary for maintaining social distancing and hygiene. Overall, I am happy with the service. I will definitely go next time and would recommend it to others. read more

My first cut was what I wanted. I like to keep my hair long and need occasional trims. Second visit, I left feeling very disappointed and won't be going back. Elaine cut my hair both times. I'm back to my search of a competent hair stylist that knows how to measure. I wish it wasn't so difficult to find. 2 inches often ends up being doubled to 4-5 inches. I'm sick of it and wish I could just cut my own hair. I really wanted this to be my go-to salon. read more

Pretty disappointed. I had gone in with brassy blonde hair that was pretty damaged. I wanted to go more light blonde with highlights only. The hairstylist said she wouldn't do highlights because she didn't want to damage it more and would do a color remover and a glaze. I said fine, disappointed I wouldn't be highlighted but happy the rest would be removed and the glaze would make the hair look healthier. However, she asked if I wanted bright or ashy blonde and I said ashy. After the glaze, I'm totally brunette. I told her I was really disappointed because I lost the blonde I had. She hadn't told me that if I went ashy, it would make my hair brown. She and two other stylists told me to come back in a month for caramel highlights and that I couldn't have light blonde highlights for a year because of the dance to my hair--then why wouldn't you say that before you start messing with my hair?? I walked in a brassy blonde wanting blonde highlights and left a brunette who was still charged full price ($260) for hair I didn't want and don't like. Everyone was nice, but I am so disappointed and very miffed that I was charged the full price for a color I didn't want and was unhappy with. I get that people are struggling with Covid but you still have to deliver the product customers want, and if you don't, you can't charge them half a week's salary for something they didn't ask for. read more

I went to Salon Shahin last Saturday for a skin-clarifying facial. It was my first time there so I wasn't quite sure what to expect aside from when I've read on Yelp. I parked in the Target parking garage and walked over. It's a very pretty salon. Clean and busy and the hair salon all takes place upstairs and down stairs is the spa end of it. The girl at the front desk gave me a half smile and led me downstairs to have a seat while I wait. As we walked through I noticed a lot of people with the drinks they offer complimentary and I was happy to see that seeing as my appointment was early and I was dying for some coffee. I wasn't offered anything. The girl that did my facial (I think her name was Jackie or Jaclyn) Was nice. In my experience of getting a facial, especially if I'm there for a skin clarifying facial, I've been asked what my skin care routine is and maybe get to the problem of why my skin is at the point for needing a facial to clear it up- but she just asked if i was allergic to nuts and jumped right in. The whole thing was fine up until the steam machine (half the reason you go to get a skin clearing facial) was broken. so she used a hot wash clothe. and the facial was a half hour..not an hour like I had requested. I was under the impression they would acknowledge the fact that I didn't get use from the machine and do something for me and that didn't happen. She didn't give me any advice for my routine she just said 'wellp i hope your skin gets better !" ..... yeah me too.... I paided an extra $30 because she treated it like a custom facial as apposed to the $110 facial I thought I was getting. I could have save my $140 and gotten a better SKIN CLEARING facial at home. my skin didnt clear..it didnt change at all. The staff was snooty as I was leaving I dont suggest going here. I will not be back. I'd rather talk to a stop sign for more glamorous entertainment and lay in a puddle on the side of the road for a stimulating skin experience. (Which honestly, does come to a very close comparison to my experience at Salon Shahin- 'cept my version is $140 cheaper) ya live and ya learn.. read more

I came here by recommendation from my friend and I am so glad I did! I called Saturday after my workout, and they had me in in an hour, which was fantastic and earned instant brownie points in my book. You walk in and feel like an instant celebrity... Yes I'll have a mimosa or two AND a cappuccino.... I thought you'd never ask. Everyone working was extremely professional, and the stylist I was paired with, Trisha, really knew what she was talking about... It's always a relief when your hair stylist will do the thinking for you. I am extremely happy with my hair and the timing of everything...My past salon would take 3.5 hours for a full head, I was in and out in two hours at Salon Shahin. Also, first service you receive 20% off your bill. i opted instead for some fancy shampoo/conditioner to keep my hair fresh for longer. I can't wait to return in a few weeks for a keratin ;) read more

DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE! I have lived in Stamford for about 2 years now, I am originally from Boston. I have been to three other salons before this one and this is BY FAR THE WORST COLOR I HAVE EVER GOTTEN. DO NOT GO TO TRISHA...she is as very nice woman and I have nothing against her personally but I asked her to warm up my blondes and to do my roots. Now my roots are greyish and I am crying in bed due to how horrifying it looks! THEN I'm assuming a trainee dried my hair, AWFUL! He left some parts wet and it was crazy frizzy in the front. When I told the manager I was not happy, it kind of felt like an OH WELL DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR DONE HERE, IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND NOW I NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES! read more

Salon Shahin, I miss you so!!!! So far havent been able to find a fabulous salon in Beverly hills. Been butchered twice with the haircut, and for some reason all the colorist on this side of the world (west coast) only know one color for blonde "BLEACH". I highly recommend SALON SHAHIN. Always made me completely gorgeous. Haircut by Jewel, Nicholas, or the master himself SHAHIN. Color master Tina. My hair always was perfect. Try the Eyebrow threading, so awesome! Miss all of you!!! read more

Love this place! About a year and a half ago I switched from a place in Greenwich and found Salon Shahin to be a breath of fresh air. Everyone who works there is wonderful and they create a very welcoming environment. I highly recommend Marie for color and Michael for a cut. read more

I've been getting my hair done at Salon Shahin for about 6 years (it could be more - I have honestly lost track). Even when I lived in NYC I would make the trek on the weekends to get my hair done here. All the stylists are professional and very friendly! They always make me feel right at home (and are more than accommodating when I have to take the late slot on Thursday nights, and more often than not - end up shutting the salon down...). :) Before I came to Salon Shahin, I was going through the process of finding a good colorist to get my very dark hair to the blonde I love. Unfortunately, my journey resulted in my hair starting to break off and I had to dye it back to brown so I wouldn't be completely bald. I found Salon Shahin, got back to blonde, and have never looked back! When you're getting your hair bleached/colored every 5, 6, 7 weeks - you need people you can trust to take care of it. Considering all of the torture I put it through, my hair is pretty healthy and most of my friends don't even realize that I'm not a natural blonde. Special shout-outs to Lindsay and Trisha, who are wonderful and I highly recommend! Also - they have really great eyebrow threading here on Saturdays. read more

I decided to try this salon for a mani/pedi. I bought this deal from Groupons to try out this salon as I am new to the area, and am looking for a great place to get a good pedi. The manicure was nothing special. They didn't do a paraffin wax which was disappointing. The hand massage was a joke. As far the pedicure, although the massage again was a joke, she did a great job of removing any calluses that I had. My feet were very smooth afterwards. This is the first salon that I have been to that actually made my feet smooth after a pedi. I would give a rating of 4 or 5 stars if I received a better foot massage. I expected more from such an upscale salon. I will not return here for mani/pedi, but maybe for hair in the future. read more

There is a reason I live in Brooklyn and come all the way to Stamford to get my hair done. Salon Shahin is simply the best. I have been coming here for years and cannot find anything Like it in all of NYC!!! Even though I've been coming here for years, I'm treated like a new customer everything time I come in. My coat is immediately taken and I'm offered an array of beverages ( cappachinos, lattes, red wine) . There is never a wait. The ambience of the salon is extremely stylish, relaxing and not pretentious. It's always spotless. The staff from the senior stylists to the students are all beautiful and "cool" if you will. The salon is definitely age friendly. I've seen 5 year old princesses to 90 year old customers all getting the same level of attention. My mother is 68 and doesn't like to spend money on herself EXCEPT on her hair at Shahin. So now let's talk about the stylists. While they all have different talents and I can't comment on everyone , I can highly recommend TINA and MARIE for color. I have extremely thick, curly hair that is very difficult. I discovered Trisha recently and she did WONDERS with my hair. She carefully analyzed it first and then took all the annoying bulk out of it and gave me gorgeous long layers. Melanie is also wonderful and gets thick, difficult hair. They all give the best blowouts at the end of every cut or treatment. I love this salon and recommend it to anyone. 5 stars all the way!! read more

Firstly, I apologize for not having pictures to really capture the transformation that ensued under the guiding light of both LJ and Joey. However, I will give you some background: My hair story has been a long and winding road. I have always been blonde, first naturally and then in High School I started getting highlights. Upon entering college I was confused to why people didn't take me seriously, like they did in my hometown, and immediately decided it had to be my hair (rather than, like, my actual behavior). I went back home, died my hair brown, cried for an hour and died it blonde again. The breakage was so severe that I ended up with a mullet. No matter what I did and where I went to get my hair done, my mullet followed me for four years. Until I found Salon Shahin. My bleached mullet was fixed, cured and transformed into actual pretty hair--which is all I wanted in the first place. read more

WOW. I cannot say enough great things about the team at Salon Shahin, who handled the hair and makeup for my bridal party. Everyone from Sherman, who scheduled/managed the group warmly and seamlessly, to the attendants asking us if we were comfortable and needed anything, to the stylists, who were friendly and skilled, were AMAZING. But this biggest props have to go to Trisha, who not only calmed down a very nervous bride but made both me and my mother feel more beautiful than ever. Her hair and makeup skills are unparalleled. I cannot recommend this salon enough!! read more

After many years of trust issues surrounding getting my hair cut, Elaine has restored my faith! She never cuts off more than I request, and I always leave the salon feeling confident and beautiful. It also doesn't hurt that they offer prosecco during your service... read more

I have been going to Lindsay for my color for YEARS and I have never been disappointed. I recently got a haircut from Shahin and it is the BEST haircut I've ever had. I have gone to NYC to the best places. This is better. read more

Best salon around. I've been going here for 15 years which is unheard of for me. Shahin gives the best cuts and Marie does beautiful natural color. read more

We got ready here for my friend's wedding and the ladies and space were lovely!! Catered to every need and everyone looked great. Shout out to Mel for this awesome hairstyle! I showed her a Pinterest pin and it turned out better than I could've imagined. Thanks ladies!! read more
