I have been going to Creative Hair for so many years. I recently stopped coloring my hair and it is beautiful light silver (although my husband thinks I am blond). I wanted a "longish" style but my hair began to look like a mop and I looked really old. Most of my life my hairstlye was either a pixie or a shag. I told Cindy what I wanted and she performed magic. I have very thick hair and she layered it and now it is wispy, cut over my ears and just enough height. I have had so many compliments on my haircut, even from strangers. My husband usually doesn't like short hair, likes my haircut and hearing all the compliments. And I actually look younger. read more

I have been going to this Salon for years when it was located in the Hamden Plaza. I like the new location and Bret cuts my hair and my husband's and we are always satisfied with the results. I like supporting a local business. They moved and got hit with Covid restrictions simultaneously, but are very accommodating. Although their prices are reasonable, one can expect the same services as an upscale, expensive salon. read more

I just came back from my third cut at Creative Haircuts, and I'm just really really pleased. I'm a girl who gets pixie cuts, so I need my hair cut just about every month to keep it looking nice. But, I'm also a grad student, and I can't really justify paying 40 bucks every time I need a haircut - that's more than some of my bills! At Creative, you can spend less than $25 (including tip) on a simple cut. And, they're usually flexible for walk-ins, which is great for my unpredictable schedule. I usually bring photos (of myself or like, celebrities) to Creative or figure out a clear way to describe what I want, and my hair always comes out looking how I want it. In the past, I've tried that at other salons with variable success, but I've been so happy with my hair here that it seems like a solid strategy. read more

I've gone to Creative Haircuts a few times over the years. For a long time I had long, uncomplicated hair that I only had cut maybe twice a year, so while they did an OK job it was nothing special to note. About 2 months ago I went to another area hair salon and got a short style that unfortunately they did a bad job with. It wasn't horrible so I dealt with it until today when I felt it was long enough to get a trim and try to correct the problem, so I decided to go back to Creative Haircuts. I came as a walk-in and waited less than 5 minutes. My stylist, Andrea, listened when I explained what I wanted and asked follow-up questions to make sure she understood. She explained what the previous hairdresser had done wrong (compared to what I had asked for) and how she could "fix it". She took her time with the cut - I have very thick hair and sometimes it takes a lot of work. When she was done she reviewed what she had done differently and where it would still have to grow out more to really get the look I'm going for. I think it's a big improvement. I've lived in the area for several years and this was the first time I felt I would go back to a specific hairdresser next time I need a cut. I can only rate the salon 4 stars because it is a no-frills operation in terms of atmosphere but as far as the cut I got I'm very happy. read more

It is marvelous to find an inexpensive salon with expert hairstylists employed there. Danielle has been my hairstylist for at least eight years. She is highly skilled and creative. I had a pixie cut for awhile, which she maintained perfectly. read more

On a recent Wednesday I called around to barber shops and salons for an appointment. Nobody was open, strangely, but these guys were! Not sure what it is about Wednesday that so many other salons/barber shops were closed....anyway I got a decent haircut from a very nice lady. I'd go here again anytime. read more

Ok - there was no time to take our son to the usual place to get his haircut. What to do? Let's try Creative Haircuts - I mean how bad can it be? How hard can it be to cut a little kids hair? It was convenient - Big Mistake. It's actually shocking as to what this haircut looks like. I think my 3 year old daughter could have done better then this. Not sure where this hairdresser got her training - but she clearly was under-qualified to cut hair or anything other then her own fingernails. This haircutter gave him the most uneven, strangest haircut filled with callicks and etc. I've never seen anything like it in all my life. A simple haircut was absolutely butchered - and there isn't enough hair left to even it out or improve it. My advice - stay away read more

Wonderful staff,professional, very good service, and very experience professionals. They service in women, men, and children. Reasonable prices. Do excellent colors, highlights, perms, cuts. read more

In my opinion one of the best and most reasonable places to get a haircut in Hamden. Not only are all the hairdressers skilled, but each them offer a different style of cutting. You have the women who are more up to date on hairstyles and the more traditional ones who cater to the older crowd. They also offer tanning, which I always enjoy there because it's a calm environment. No one rushes you out and they give you privacy. On top of that they offer waxing, which I have never done, but my friends tell me they're very skilled and try to make it as comfortable as they can. They also have really great products they use in your hair that they sell at reasonable prices. I love it there. Not only do you feel better about your appearance when you leave, you feel good about what you spent! read more

This salon , in the first place , is not a good or even a so-so place to get a haircut. Their stylists need more training and need more customer service skills training too. I went there to get a haircut trying to see if they're good. The stylist who cut my hair wasn't really that good but because I just needed a trim , not a fancy hairstyle, I thought I could go with the hair that she cut for me. Because they're cheap, they don't blow dry your hair after the cut. So , I asked the stylist to blowdry my hair. She refused with a bitchy face. I told her I'm gonna pay for whatever the cost of the blowdry. She told me she wouldn't do it because that's not her job. I asked her then whose job is it. She said that the staff who does blowdrying is off for that day. But I explained to her that I just needed to blow dry it because I don't want to go outside with my hair that wet. So she grabbed a brush and a blowdryer, stomping her feet in a fit of temper tantrum, and blowdried my hair for 3 minutes. I was not happy with the results because it was still damp but I just told her to stop anyway because her pouty face was so annoying that I wanted to slap her. When I paid, I decided not to give her a tip, but my husband who was beside me when I paid, told me to just give her a tip anyway read more

While my stylist was great, the overall atmosphere is that of a cheap low end salon. The sinks appear dirty, the towels shabby and worn, the yellow paint job, awful. The chairs arent great either.. Some stylist were poorly dressed and unprofessional looking. They need are a in of serious updating... I will return, as my stylist did a good job read more

Worst Haircut I ever got. I don't know where those people got their training from but honestly this was my first and last visit. Very UNPROFESSIONAL, As I walked in, they made their face like they don't want me to be there. My Haircut was done in 10 minutes and the lady she didn't even ask me if i was OK with it. She was just rushing to finish and want me to leave. They should first learn about customer service and need to get proper training. I have to go to another salon to get my hair fixed...DON'T EVER GO TO THAT PLACE, the price, service everything is below average. read more

Worst. Haircut. Ever. My wife doesn't want to look at me its so bad. Stylist either willfully ignored or couldn't hear what I was looking for in a haircut. Horrid chop job, only go here if you want a buzz or one of their "regulars". Otherwise, stay away. read more

I was actually banned from this place for leaving a bad review on their facebook page haha. so that just shows how mature and professional these ladies are. but i'm leaving another review just to warn people that if they want quality customer service this is not the place to go. most of them have a shitty additude, they rush their clients and do really poor jobs. i've been going there for years only because it's cheap and local. but i actually had one lady said my hair was quote "unfixable" and she couldnt do anything for me. side note i went to another salon and got my hair fixed up just fine. so i'm not sure why she had a license in hair dressing. Also there have been many occasions where the workers there have insulted me, or made unnecessary or rude comments. for example i went to get my eyebrows done there and the girl who was doing it laughed and said, "wow you really needed this done huh" it's just mind blowing how this place still gets any buisness. but yeah overall this place is a joke. read more
