I almost hesitate to leave this review if only to make sure I can still get an appointment but for…read moremy fellow women (and men) I must. Every woman will tell you that finding a good hair dresser is liking striking gold - and you mine that vein for all it's worth. Carlos is one of those goldmines. I currently drive about 40 minutes every 6- 8 weeks but have lived as far as an hour & fifteen minutes away, still chosing drive the extra miles for a good cut...and I am far from the only one of his clients who does this. I bumped into my next-door neighbor there and found out that she has been going to Carlos for about 5 years...all this time I had no idea. I have been getting my hair cut by Carlos for about 15 (or more?) years - since he was working at Rob Rivers. He's a good guy. Very eager to please his clients. He is also pleasant to speak with and remembers just where we left off in our previous conversations -how he remembers it all I don't know but he does it. His prices are on par with other salons, but what sets him apart for me is that he actually listens. My hair can be tricky to handle, with multiple textures and cowlicks, and unlike other hair dressers who throw a formulaic cut at it leaving me frustrated and annoyed, Carlos gets it right every time. He's also great with color. He won't force a high-maintenance color on someone who doesn't have the time or money to tend to it. He doesn't push product on his clients. (He carries Bumble & Bumble). His approach in general is genuine and relaxed. If you're in the market for your goldmine hair dresser...look no further. By the way he is in Mystic, not Stonington as shown in the address above. His Salon is right across from Dunkin Donuts and just a few doors down from the Sea Swirl.

The whole experience felt awkward and was quite disappointing. Her appt was booked to be with you Kelli, I've seen you before and was looking forward to settling into a salon for us, but you were there and treated us like you couldn't be bothered.

I recently went to this salon for a color correction, hoping to fix my hair after nearly a year of…read moregrown-out roots that were light and ashy blonde. My goal was to have the ends of my hair lightened and toned to match my roots as closely as possible. I made it clear multiple times to my stylist that I did not want to continue dying my hair and was aiming to return to my natural color. However, when the appointment ended, I was extremely disappointed. My hair turned out to be almost black at the ends, a stark contrast to the light blonde roots I had, which was the exact opposite of what I had asked for. I tried to explain my concerns to the stylist right away, but she didn't seem to fully acknowledge the mistake. Afterward, the owner reached out to better understand what had happened, which I appreciated. However, she seemed to side with the stylist, stating that my hair looked "okay" and that it "doesn't look bad." She even offered to lighten it again free of charge, but I'm absolutely terrified of going back to a salon where this kind of damage was done in the first place. Overall, it was an awful experience. Despite reading reviews and doing some research beforehand, I've learned that you really can't trust salons to follow your requests. The damage caused to my hair has left me questioning whether I'll ever trust another stylist again. Unfortunately, I won't be returning to this salon, and I would advise others to be cautious when choosing where to go for services. And stay out of Haylee Bronson's chair. Attached are photos of my hair before showing my ashy blonde roots and red ends and the aftermath...
