I've been looking for a new stylist and Bill was exactly what I was hoping for. He asked questions, listened, really wanted to get a feel for me and my personality. I had a couple photos of what I was considering then left it to him. He took his time, getting to know my hair and gave me a cut for my hair. He doesn't dial it in! He was fun to talk with and I just felt like I'd come home. The salon is relaxing. The tea was great. Front desk service is top notch. read more

Studio Central - Love my choppy bob. It feels wonderful. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I was visiting my mom in CT for a week and she set up with an appointment with Jessica. I needed a haircut and color to fix the mess I did on my own hair. She colored it back to a normal brown and added beautiful purple streaks that were subtle and the perfect placement! She spent hours on my hair and it came out so perfect! She came the closest to a past cut that I had, but I probably needed a few more layers, but I was so happy with the results! The staff lol ves my mother and they were so welcoming and friendly. I wish I lived closer so I could go back for every service I needed! read more

Studio Central - Hair Stylists Near Me - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I've probably gone to 10 different hair salons in the Glastonbury/Manchester area and never found a place that is as attentive to customers and has such talented staff as Studio Central. I've had my hair done by a few of the different stylists, I usually get a bleach (I'm platinum blonde) and a cut. I often find that salons have a hard time cutting short hair on women because they assume you want a pixie cut or (for lack of a better term) the "mom cut" even if you are very specific about theta you'd like. Not so here! I'm a bit of a hipster and I like a very specific long on top, short on sides but with "sideburns" style and I leave happy every time I get a cut here no matter who cuts my hair. I tend to need to make appointments last minute so I have had a different stylist every time, but they always fit me in and I have never left anything but fully satisfied with my hair! They keep a record for each customer of hair type/products used/ etc so it's consistent visit to visit. The atmosphere inside is great, very inviting and cozy. They always greet me by name when I come in, even if it's been months between appointments. There are big comfy chairs to sit in while you wait for your hair to process and they always offer me coffee, water, or wine (bonus points for the wine). The owner of the salon is super friendly and always around to consult/ make little adjustments if necessary. He really knows his stuff and I appreciate the professionalism. I've lived in Boston and LA and I always try to wait until I'm home in CT for a break so I can get my hair done at Studio Central. They're better than any fancy/boutique salon I've been to in the cities. If you're looking for a terrific haircut in central CT, I can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

I've been coming here for years now! Everyone is so down to earth, friendly, professional and knowledgeable! The atmosphere is very relaxed and there is usually something great playing on their radio. ;) When I first came in my hair was very long and totally fried from using store bought hair dye, but since I've been going to them on the regular, my hair is healthier and thicker than ever! I also used them for hair & makeup when I had my wedding, and they were extremely efficient with getting me and my brides ladies in and out, without sacrificing quality. Everyone looked so amazing, and we all received so many compliments! I cannot stress how great this salon is, just do yourself a favor and visit them already! read more

I am 18 freshly out of high school and I was looking for a nice long term job. I had brought my younger sibling to this salon before multiple times. They were looking for an assistant. I went in for an interview. With Dan (manager) and Bill (owner). Everything was going well until Dan had left. Bill proceeded to tell me that my hair looked like a "sad little girl who can't afford to get her hair done" because I have darker brown dyed hair and I am growing my dirty blonde hair back in so it can be healthy. Told me I "need an eyebrow wax" "need mascara, and bronzer so I can actually look good." Along with telling me I need to "take care of my nails better" because the paint was slightly chipped. I do understand that at a beauty salon the employees need to look presentable but you should NEVER make comments like this to someone your trying to employ, or anyone for that matter. It's messed up and so not right. My mother had to call because of how hurt I was and Dan did apologize (even tho he did not do anything) and I still have not gotten an apology from Bill who said all of this. read more

Bill and Jessica were AMAZING! They took the style pictures that we provided and really made them work seamlessly for us. Dan kept everyone organized and made sure Bill and Jessica had what they needed at all times. Everyone was super cheerful and sang/danced with us as we were getting ready. It was such a fun, memorable morning :) My bridesmaids and I LOVED the way our hair turned out and everyone got so many compliments. I can't recommend them enough. read more

We are not local but were going to be in the area so my daughter could attend a prom. I looked up reviews and found Studio Central. When I called to make an appointment, I spoke to Jessica. She informed me that the day I was trying to schedule is an off Saturday for them. She then very kindly offered to come in and do the services for my daughter. Both her hair and makeup were stunning. My daughter couldn't have been more pleased with the results. If you are local, you must try this salon. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to make sure they are happy with the results. Thank you again, Jessica! read more

Amazing. Was shell shocked from an extremely bad haircut somewhere else. Jim the owner got me in with him that afternoon. It came out amazing and they are all so warm and friendly. Have taken my special needs son there for a few months and they are so good with him. Can't say enough about them. will NEVER get it done anywhere else. Ugh! Bill not Jim! read more

I love this place! I love the atmosphere, very unassuming, down to earth and cozy! Most important the talent at Studio Central is amazing. From Bill the owner being masterful with his scissors to Caitlin a great colorist and Dan who always remembers my name and says hello when you walk in the door. I get the feeling its not about the money they charge its about your hair. They really want you to be happy with their services. They take there time, they listen and at the same time offer their advice which always seems right! I had been with the same salon for about 12 years before moving to the Glastonbury area and tried many in the area but was not happy. I found Studio Central and glad I did. I have been there twice and my hair although damaged from other salons is NOW looking healthy and shiny. I am super happy with them and think they are all great people! Cindy read more

Always impeccable service & The best salon in the Glastonbury area. Caters to color, men's cuts, and anything else you think of. Dan, working the front desk is the absolute best in making sure my appointments are booked in advance. read more

Wow that was a fun experience. Studio Central has an excellent combination of care, skill, and personality that makes for a unique and pleasant experience. From when you're first greeted in the door you can tell that they love their work and are full of positive energy, which makes for a very relaxing environment. Every detail matters to Studio Central, from how well they book you, to the interior design, to how your hair is going to look, and even the coffee available in the waiting room. And as a Pacific Coast native, coffee is a big deal for me. Flat out, I haven't had a better haircut experience since I left Seattle. You must go to Studio Central if you're looking for an amazing haircut. read more

I was looking to add color to a mohawk and contacted Studio Central to make an appointment. Best decision I could've made. I first went in for a consultation to explain what I was looking for, and Caitlin wouldn't let me leave the consultation without cleaning up the sides and mohawk length. The entire staff was super nice and welcoming. They were able to get an appointment scheduled for in a very reasonable time frame. The color appointment lived up to and exceeded my expectations. As before everyone was super nice and it was a fun experience. The color scheme I was looking for was definitely not the average color request, but Caitlin was extremely professional about it and did an amazing job. Definitely will be going back in the future. read more

See all

I've been a regular customer for 4 or 5 years now. My close friend with delicate hair recommended them, and I've been hooked since. My fine hair is now full of body and shine - and I get compliments all the time thanks to Studio Central. The owners and stylists are wonderfully attentive and genuinely care about their customers. Expect smiles, warm hellos and a relaxing atmosphere. Hair consultations include a lot of questions that show their expertise, and the stylists can make suggestions for what they think will look best. You can see a high quality of skill in their cuts and color - and it's consistent! My stylist (Kellan) is amazing - both in her ability to cut hair and to make the experience very relaxing. I used to be so worried about what was happening with my hair at other salons - but here I kick back and relax - I know I'm in good hands! read more

Been coming here for going on eight years. They helped my hair when nobody else could....and still continue to do so. :) Love it!!!!!!!

Kellan was welcoming, friendly, and profesional. After the hair consultation, she helped me determine the best hair style suitable for my lifestyle. I left with a sporty, yet elegant bob. It looked like the hair style of a model! The salon was clean and the staff were also friendly. I was also greeted by Bill, the owner, and felt comfortable at the salon the whole time. I I think I will be coming back! I highly recommend this hair studio. Oh, I should add that another plus for Studio Central is how easy it is to communicate with them by phone to book an appointment. I had looked at other salons and they either had no staff to pick up the phone (even though I called various times) or the bookings had to be done through text messaging, but one has to first send a request via email or some contorted process like that. None of that is the case here. read more

I never even knew this place existed until today when I searched up places to get my ears pierced in Glastonbury and this place popped up. I called for a last minute appointment and got one the same day! So I was happy about that. The costumer service is also EXCELLENT. It was my first time there and they treated me like a longtime costumer! I was also apprehensive to get my ears pierced at a salon, but they had their own area for ear piercing it was very clean and I made sure Bill (who did my piercing) washed his hands. The piercings used are also stainless steel and you get a wash for your ears. Bill did a great job, made sure the holes were exact and took his time. You can tell he professional! One of the other employees also chatted with me and calmed nerves. I had an appointment for 2:45, but they took me a little early when I got there and I was out within 15 minutes so they definitely care for their customers. I haven't had these piercings even for a day yet so I can't judge on if it may cause me an infection, but I was so happy with the final product and the awesome staff. I actually want to go back for cut now! read more

I Love Studio Central! The staff is friendly and Caitlin is the best! She listens to what you want, makes suggestions when needed, and I leave feeling beautiful every time! I highly suggest using them for special occasion hair and make-up as well. They always make you feel welcomed and you can tell they love what they do. read more

Been going to kellan for years. She is the best with my curly hair!! Will never go anywhere else. Highly recommended!

The personal attention and concern for my comfort are what got me hooked on Studio Central, but the before-and-after condition of my hair is amazing. Kellen has made sure that my hair is now healthy, shiny, and full of body. Bill provides me with fantastic color - to make sure that I don't look my age! I get compliments from total strangers on my hair and fabulous color! Caitlin takes excellent care of me, and Dan - very special, wonderful Dan - creates the warm and welcoming mood of the salon. I love Studio Central, and always look forward to my next appointment. read more
