I cannot say enough amazing things about Elana at Dancing Shears! I've been her client for almost a…read moredecade, and she is truly one of a kind. She has done everything for me--cuts, color, highlights, a butterfly cut, a French bob, and even my wedding hair--and every single experience has been beyond flawless. Elana is unbelievably talented, consistent, and attentive. She really listens, understands your hair, and somehow makes it look better every time. I walk out feeling confident, refreshed, and excited about my hair--something that doesn't happen easily! I trust her completely and won't go anywhere else. If you're looking for a stylist who is passionate, skilled, and genuinely cares about her clients, Elana is the best of the best. Highly, highly recommend!

I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times, Dancing Shears Hair Salon is the absolute best…read more After a traumatic experience at a different salon, once a friend recommended me to see Elana I knew she and the salon are the only people I'll trust with my hair. In fact I took that to heart so much that Dancing Shears did the hair and makeup for my two wedding ceremonies. (Including traveling out of state for one of them). Elana, the owner, created a package that met my needs and budget. Her and the team went above and beyond on my wedding day and second wedding ceremony. We did a comprehensive trial to make sure that I looked and felt beautiful. She even gave me the best pep talks before both wedding ceremonies to make sure I could get out there. Not only does she do a great job with hair and makeup, she also cares deeply about each customer she works with. This includes listening and asking about life updates while in the chair doing hair, giving me educational information on how to take care of my hair and skin, and even product recommendations. I've never taken care of my hair so well until going here with Dancing Shears. Using products without harmful chemicals is also an absolute key part of going here as well (I'll admit I didn't know how much bad stuff was in the shampoos i was using before learning how to take better care of my hair). This business is LGBTQ+ ally friendly and Elana is supportive of every customer. Absolutely recommend coming here for your usual hair needs and your special occasions! I'll pick Dancing Shears over and over again

Planning a wedding across the country proved difficult at times, and Do's and Dye made the "glam" experience for my celebration such a breeze! As a bride, this was my first experience with an updo and professional makeup, and I was so sad to take off my face/hair at the end of the night. Felt so beautiful and especially grateful to have gotten paired with Abbey and Becca- would recommend all of their services wholeheartedly! Truly no idea how they kept this face and waves solid in the August humidity (witchcraft? insanity!). And not to mention the hair... I ended up having a change of heart from our initial hair trial -- bridal nerves -- and Abbey ran with the idea of a party pony without question. She CRUSHED IT!! So many compliments, and I was so happy to feel like an elevated version of myself in our final look. Such talented artists on this team! Thank you all SO much for making 8/16/24 so wonderful. :)

Added bonuses: Julie and Abbey are so fun to hang with during my appointments and the salon is adorable with the absolute best vibe!

And then...I made the mistake of being desperate. My appointment was with Tazjae. I wanted small knotless braids. She quoted me 325 total. Sounded good. She even went the extra mile to come in early so she could do my hair before I had class that evening and she double booked herself and I couldn't come later. I had a time crunch, but I did NOT get small braids, just small parts. I wanted waist length, I got bra strap length, the ends???? Well just see the photo and have a look for yourself. I'm not one to slander, but girl if I ask you again "so how much is this?" and you know you did some foul mess and rushed due to your poor scheduling, have some morality. give me a discount or something. This place is convenient, but I'm scared to go back because for a 30 minute drive to new haven, I could have gotten the same shabby work for 1/2 the cost. She knew I had no time to contest her bs due to class. It looked nice dripping wet for sure, but now that I'm seeing the details? She left me a mess. Guess I bought a 325$ bun. UPDATE: She wanted to fix it, but my schedule didn't allow it. I was refunded my deposit and we called it even.

Susan @ Raphael is amazing! I walked in, with no appointment and waited less than 10 minutes before she was able to see me. I have thick Italian dark hair and she handled it perfectly. She respected my style, my part, and specifically how much I wanted cut (7.5 inches by the end of it all!). I didn't realize till the end that she had actually stayed open after hours to finish my cut & style, plus clean up! It was a Friday night and I was desperate for a cut and she made me feel right at home and never rushed. Susan is very sweet, and the salon is very clean and accommodating. Best hair cut I have had in years, I will be certain to return, and I recommend her to all hair types. Thanks Susan! Compliments are flooding in about my new do! :)
