I found The Loft Salon studio during an on-line search while considering Hair Extensions. I'm from the Northern, CT area and I was planning to visit NYC or Boston for this service. However, I was able to see pictures of actual extension work on her site, and I planned a visit for a consultation as I was impressed to see such great work locally, without having to travel several hours. I had a consult for extensions which was very thorough, included a written questionnaire, and I was able to see examples of different techniques. I was happy to find that Ann-Marie was certified in several different methods of hair extensions and was genuine in her recommendation of which method would best suit my need and hair type. I have now had three services, Hair Color, Japanese Straightening and Hair Extensions from The Loft Salon and Studio. I drive to NY to get my hair colored normally, and I do not have a local person, since I have had a long relationship with my colorist. To be honest, I was more than a little nervous trusting someone new. I am happy to say that Ann-Marie has a very special eye for color. Ann-Marie was just proving a touch up to cover new growth, so it was critical that she matched what I already had. She spent a lot of time carefully comparing my hair and available colors. To my surprise, she did a perfect job, and my base color and highlights were exactly right. I am not sure how hard it is to do this without knowing the brand, or colors used previously, but it was no problem for Ann-Marie. Secondly, a straightening process was recommended for my hair prior to extensions. I have chemically straightened my hair in the past, but never by the process that Ann-Marie suggested. I did a lot of research about the products, process and results prior to my service. Ann-Marie also did a great job here, my hair turned out as expected, and as she promised, I did have more time in the morning, now that I did not have to flat iron. I noticed that she was very careful during the process, and followed every step, to ensure a good outcome. Lastly, she installed my extensions. She did a fabulous job. I work in a corporate environment, and the length was quite a change. But the real test were my kids. She matched my hair color by expertly using (4) different extension colors, added highlights to extend my own, and it looked so natural that my kids, did not notice when I came home! Everyone has had positive comments. Overall, I liked that Ann-Marie's booking system sends me emails and confirmation emails when I make an appointment. It also emails me receipts after my visit. She only takes one client at a time which makes for a very personal and focused visit. With my crazy schedule I know that when I make an appointment I don't have to wait for her. She is ready and available when I walk in the door. Her salon is clean and modern, and she's a great find for me, who is happy to find a local choice for services. read more

AMAZING!! That's the only word I can think of to describe Ann Marie!! I had hair extensions done and I left The Loft feeling great! This morning I left for work feeling confident and looking good!! Ann Marie is so knowledgeable about what she does. She explained everything to me from the process to the products. (I'm talking down to the molecules!) My hair had a few different shades of blonde and even some brown. Ann Marie customized each extension so that it would flawlessly blend with my color. You can't tell the different between the extensions and my natural hair. She makes you feel comfortable and is so easy to gab with! By the time I got home I already had an email with aftercare instructions and when I woke up this morning I had an email with a how-to for each of the products I went home with. A cheat sheet that I can use until I'm familiar with them. As a bonus Ann Marie is inspiring!! She has the best stories and you can tell that she absolutely loves what she does. Her patience and attention to detail is astounding. Worth every penny!! I did a lot of research before I decided to go ahead with extensions and everything I came up with pointed to The Loft. Thank you, Ann Marie!!! read more

Ann Marie is the best! Do you like compliments? Do you want to look your best? Well then go see Ann Marie!!I have been going to her for about 2 years and my hair has never looked better! I never had a consultation with a salon before, so that was a first to actually have her look at my hair, skin color, eye color and talk about what would look the best... WOW! 2 years later and my hair has never looked better! Believe me I have been to many salons (and would stay a client for years as I did not like to leave) and they always have missed the mark somehow.. it took me about 20 years to find her and I am going any where else!! Look at her website, and her makeovers that is what drew me in.. could she do that to you? The pictures speak for her work!! You cannot find photos on many salon websites, it any.. I can book my appointments online when it is convenient for me and pay online!! Do you know how much time that saves?? She now has mobile advertisement, so look for her! If you want to look and feel your best call her or go online and look at her website.. you will not be disappointed. Sally Q. read more

I went to see Ann Marie at The Loft Salon Studio this past weekend to have eyelash extensions put on. First of all her salon is absolutely adorable. It is a house turned into a salon and it felt very welcoming. Prior to starting the lash extensions Ann Marie explained in detail the things to expect along with referencing her website that has additional information should any questions come up after I left. She brought me up to the second floor to a room that looks like it is dedicated to eyelashes! She had me lay down on this comfortable table under a nice warm blanket. I am pretty sure I fell asleep as the bed was so nice and warm and she put on nice calming music. I then woke up to fuller lashes which is exactly what I was hoping for. She completely met all of my expectations and more!! I will definitely be going back to maintain my beautiful lashes. I even plan to have hair extensions put on. I have seen her work and I can already tell I would trust her with not only my eyelashes but my hair as well. I highly recommend The Loft Salon Studio! read more

In my experience, once you visit The Loft Salon and Ann Marie, you will NEVER want to go ANYWHERE ELSE. Ann Marie's skills are amazing and was able to accomplish in one visit the look i had been trying to accomplish since i was 16 and first started coloring my hair. After countless visits to multiple different salons i began to think the look i was going for couldnt be done on me because of my own hair texture and what not. Ann Marie shocked me and made it possible. I had never left a salon so happy. Also, aside from her skills, her attitude and humbleness make it so comforting whereas in most salons where your sitting in their chair for a number of hours I am antsy and i usually ask them to not even blow dry because i just want to get out! I could have stayed longer and talked with Ann Marie, HAH! All in all The Loft Salon and Ann marie are amazing. read more

Well definite rip off! I was charged $75.00 for a hair consultation which let me remind you is supposed to be an hour of talking about your hair! We spend 45 minutes of my hour talking about the owners personal life the next 15 minutes she showed me tape in hair extensions and bonded extensions on a manequin I already saw the process on her website so she didn't show me or teach me anything I didn't already know! I felt like I was taken to the cleaners 75 dollar consultation was not worh it! Don't waste your money or your time! Oh and if you want to know how much etensions cost you won't pay less than a thousand and go all the way up to 4 thousand not including the tip for someone elses hair that only lasts 4 months if you barely ever wash your hair! Just FYI! read more

Ann Marie does an amazing job on my lashes!! She is so meticulous and professional, and the only one I trust with something so close to my eyes. Her many years of certifications and training makes her second to none. It's always a wonderful, relaxing experience with her and I leave there feeling like a lash goddess, especially now wearing a mask all the time I really want me eyes to pop and she makes me feel beautiful! read more

Absolutely the BEST pedicure I have ever had!!! Ann Marie takes time to make sure you are completely satisfied before leaving. The salon is clean, modern & very welcoming.
