I've debated writing about my experience because my stylist was kind, but I do have some feedback…read morefor the salon: if clients will be rushed out the door in the last hour, please make that clear when someone is booking. When I called I said I was a new client and needed a "really good" haircut with lots of layering, bangs, I have thick hair, the whole works. The original date I asked for was full and a different date was offered, I said yes, excited because I've wanted to try out this salon for a long time based on reviews/photos. When I went in, it was quiet - just 1 other person getting their hair done. After being seated my stylist suddenly seemed flustered by the time (we had a little over an hour before the place closed, which I hadn't realized before) and said she couldn't style my hair. To her credit she asked if I wanted a shampoo but I felt rushed and said we could skip it. I explained what I really wanted (a short wolf cut) but my only reservation was it was before a wedding, and she agreed it could look awkward. In truth I brought it up to gauge her reaction because I didn't want someone who wasn't enthused about it to make such a drastic change to my hair. No problem, had a safer backup ready to go, still with lots of edgy layers and the V-cut I love. Talked it out and showed a reference pic from all angles of this haircut. What I received was nothing close. My hair was cut bluntly straight across, my layers almost blend into the longest ends of my hair, and my face framing pieces are completely uneven. She did a good job on my bangs, though at the time, they were flying straight off my face. I'm talking almost 90 degrees. I was trying not to panic and reassure her at the same time so she didn't feel bad that I looked ridiculous, saying my hair just needed to figure it out and would settle. I walked out of the salon with one hand literally covering my forehead holding down my bangs trying not to cry and thankfully had a beanie in the car to throw over my head. I've gotten bad cuts before but never walked out looking wild like that. I will say - that experience has opened me up to try cutting my own hair at home, so I bought some shears and am looking forward to experimenting.

There is a comfortable waiting space where you can even have a cup of coffee and a biscotti. Oh yes, and you get a great, personally designed hair cut. I have been using the salon for years and I am moved to write this review now because I had one more wonderful experience with my last cut. Living in two states, CT and PA., I try to time my cuts to be in CT so I can go to HBD. Last month I had a terrible, awful hair cut in Philadelphia. Six weeks later, I arrived at HBD and could see, "What happened to you?" in Casey's eyes. And then, snip, snip, snip, she fixed it. I felt like myself again. A bad hair cut makes you feel lousy BUT a great hair cut makes you feel great. Thank You Casey! Fern Fisher

I'm OBSESSED with this salon! I went today for highlights for the first time…read more When I first walked in, the receptionist was very kind and offered me drinks while I waited for my appointment. The waiting area is very clean. Erica was my stylist. She gave me advice as to what to color, what color to try, etc. She was so friendly, nice, and clearly very skilled...I was in and out in probably an hour and a half. While I waited for my hair to color, they offered me a glass of wine. I am so happy with the results! Partial highlights cost me $60 (it's normally $80 but I had a Yelp coupon). A blow dry afterwards costs $30, according to the receptionist.

Not only did she fit me in, she stayed after closing to accommodate me. My hair is gorgeous! I'm so glad I reached out to Avon Hair Company all those weeks ago. The salon has the most amazing vibe, it's near my office, and I cannot wait to continue to be Stephanie's client

This was my first time visiting as I wanted some advice on coloring my hair for next appointment. The 2 star rating is for the haircut I received. I have long hair, and expressed I'm looking for some angling in the front, a little layering, and overall keep the length because I'm a low maintenance hair girl. the first cut she makes is 8inches off of my top layer, all in one cut I couldn't believe how much hair was in my lap. The final result was a not very well blended style that is high maintenance to deal with, straightening it is out of the question because I have a ledge of unblended hair. Pretty upset but not sure how to fix it without taking off more length

My daughter visited this salon on April 2nd for a flat iron, deep conditioner, and blow dry…read more Nothing more. No chemical service was discussed, agreed to, or consented to. One week later, after washing her hair at home, her hair began falling out in clumps. Her curl pattern is completely gone. She described it as her hair "melting." I have photos. As a licensed salon owner myself, I can tell you with certainty: this is consistent with a chemical relaxer being applied without the client's knowledge. This does not happen from a flat iron and blow dry. When my daughter reached out to the salon via WhatsApp to ask what products were used, she received no satisfactory response. We are now in contact with the Connecticut Department of Public Health Cosmetology Board and consulting with an attorney. A formal complaint has been filed. If you have naturally curly or textured hair, especially if you are mixed or Black, please be extremely cautious. What happened to my daughter should never happen to anyone. She went in for a blowout and left with permanent damage to her hair. This review will remain up until this matter is fully resolved.

I love that they update the salon throughout the year to have festive pops, have refreshments to offer, and all the staff is really friendly and welcoming. But on to the reason I need to rave about Foil: I've said it before, and I'll say it again - Molly saved my hair and I'd follow her to any salon. Literally...I currently live in Naugatuck and I drive to Foil to have Molly do my hair... A girls hair is one of the most important things to her - it's like our identity - so trusting someone to color, cut, trim, or style it is a BIG deal. My hair used to be past my butt, and when I first started going to Molly, we talked about doing a big chop. When I worked up the courage, I asked her to do it and I left the salon with an amazing angled longer bob. She's also done front bangs for me and we've experimented with a few different techniques - I really do trust Molly with my life, and I'm looking forward to doing another big chop soon! My old salon (before I reached out to Molly) really put so much crap in my hair - I literally came to Molly with like 5 different shades of I don't even know what - and now, my hair looks so natural and pretty. I'm continuously getting compliments after I see her and my hair always grows out to look MORE natural and pretty. Molly is always very sweet and does such an amazing job - I've literally shown her completely opposite pictures of balayage or highlights and she ALWAYS manages to work her magic and create exactly what I wanted (even when I don't know what the heck that is). I highly recommend going to see her if you can - or any of the girls here really. I can't wait to bring my daughter for her first big hair cut!
