When I moved to Danbury 5 yrs ago a friend recommended Dawn's Pizzazz. I was a bit turned off by the name, expecting the salon to be some cheesy haircutting place. But my friend's hair was gorgeous and Dawn's kept coming up whenever I'd ask people where they got their hair done. I decided to try it and boy was I surprised. What a lovely salon! They always have food and drink and GREAT magazines. I love browsing the lovely jewelry and handbags. The choices of hair products is endless! My stylist Jeton has now become my buddy and therapist. Boy could he blackmail me! I've been going to Jeton faithfully every 5 weeks for 5 years and would never trust anyone else to do my hair. Well, once I had to go a week early because I had an event to attend and Jeton was on vacation so I had to see Carmello and he was good as well! The people are super friendly. Jonna and Maddie at the front desk are professional and always willing to let me chit chat while my payment is processing. I've since started recommending Dawn's to others! But I usually just call is Dawn's. Cuz adding the Pizzazz just makes me feel like I have to use jazz hands! :) read more

After reading all these reviews, it just brings to mind how much credence one can take from a review from an unknown source who have a distorted view of reality. I have been an extremely satisfied client is DPZ on West for over 20 years. I am welcomed when I walk in the front door, receive excellent service and have never had a reason to seek another salon. The staff at DPZ are experts. They are well trained, polite and super friendly. In fact they go out of their way to make you feel at home. I have never had trouble making an appointment. I am one of Dawn's clients but I have been to many of the other stylists for various reasons and have always been very happy with the end result. My husband even looks forward to getting his haircut at the salon. The biggest thing that I find important is that the staff at DPZ cares about their clients and will do whatever er it takes to make your visit a happy and friendly one. You feel like a new person when you leave the salon with your new do! I look forward to my visits every four weeks. read more

I used to wait until I couldn't stand my hair anymore and then randomly call hair salons from the phone book for an emergency appointment. I thought that hair products from the dollar store were just as good as those from a salon( it's just expensive packaging, right?) Well, I'm SO thankful that I discovered DPZ( I actually go to both the Danbury and the Litchfield locations.) My hair has never been more healthy than it is now, thanks to DPZ and their knowledge and products. They are always running incentives and specials so I am able to try new things without breaking the bank. Everyone who works there is upbeat and friendly( this fact has even caused me to try different stylists, because everyone is so competent , I had no fear of trying a new person.) Now that I've experienced DPZ, I couldn't go anywhere else( and remember, I'm typically the least picky person because, well, hair grows!) I may be more of a hair snob now, but that's only because I know better! read more

I have gone to Dawns Pizzazz for pedicures and for permanent makeup. For both services, I am very pleased with the service at Dawns and recommend Dawns Pizzazz with no hesitation. Pedicures at Dawns are a treat. At Dawns, the pedicure is more than just a grooming exercise; it is actually a relaxing and enjoyable experience and feet look great when they're done! The permanent makeup is done by Vinny at Dawns Pizzazz. I have had permanent makeup done on both my upper and lower lids at different times. Vinny took the time to determine what I wanted done, started conservatively and then asked me to come back to touch up the eyeliner if I wanted a heavier application (at no additional charge). I was pleased with both the ease of permanent makeup and with Vinny at Dawns, so I recommended Dawns to a girlfriend. She then went to Vinny and thanked me for the recommendation as she too loved her permanent makeup from Vinny. read more

I was so happy when Dawn's Pizzazz, otherwise known as DPZ on West, reopened after the quarantine. I have been going to Dawns's for many years and I missed my stylist Heather. I feel very safe in the salon as they have been following all the guidelines. You call them from the parking lot when you arrive and they let you know if they're ready. There's no waiting inside! They take your temperature and spray your hands with sanitizer, then right to your chair. Dawn used the time she had when they were closed to redecorate. It's just beautiful! The best part are the new chairs in the sink room. So comfortable for the wash out! I'll close with a shout out to Heather. She is the best! Makes you feel like you are her only client. Her cut and coloring skills are top notch and she frequently goes to NYC to learn the latest techniques. Dawn's Pizazz is the premier salon and day spa in Danbury. read more

I have been going to Dawn's for years and have never had a bad cut! On my first visit there, I had 11 inches of hair cut off to donate, which didn't leave me with much left to style! But Jeton sculpted what was left into a flattering, trendy bob that I just loved! I have been coming back to Jeton ever since, sometimes sticking with the bob and sometimes trying something new! So, when the time came that my daughter wanted to donate her hair, there was no other person I would trust with her hair. Now, both my girls and I see Jeton and we couldn't be happier. Parking can be a little tight, especially for my minivan, but I have never had to park on the street - I always find a spot in the lot. The staff is top notch, always making me feel welcome and the environment is very comfortable and friendly. I would and have recommend them to anyone in need of a stylist! read more

Dawn's Pizazz is a top notch salon. I have been getting my haircut there for almost 20 years and have never left dissatisfied. Several years ago my stylist left Dawn's and I was very upset...but took a chance on a new stylist at Dawns. Once again it was a success and I stuck with her for years. My original stylist, Suzanne is back and I am thrilled (especially since her replacement left). I feel that the stylists are honest and will suggest a hair cut that will look good with ones face and they will be up front with you if you have picked out a hair style that they think won't work with your hair type, facial structure, etc. Along with great haircuts, I have had incredible massages, facials, and well as many other services. Everyone at Dawn's is friendly and goes out of there way to make you feel comfortable. see you soon...I am almost due for a haircut read more

When I moved here from Florida, I never thought I would find a salon like the one I had back home. I was referred to Dawn's through friends who (little did I know) have been clients at Dawn's for years. I am happy to say that, as long as I live in Fairfield County...I'll be a client at Dawn's. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this salon! My stylist Heather L. is more than someone who "does hair." She is an amazing person who's become a friend--everyone else at Dawn's is the same way. The best part? My hair has NEVER looked better. They don't pressure clients to purchase products, always provide the best advice and are the ultimate hosts each time I enter the salon, whether for spa treatments or hair appointments. I don't go anywhere else for services, from hair to facials to manicures. If you're looking for a new salon--Dawn's is the place to go. read more

I've been going to DPZ for years and, for real, they are awesome! My color is always spot-on. (Yes, I color for necessity not for fun). Their stylists - and I've worked with a few over the years - have the ability to hear me blather on about how I want my hair to look or behave, and they somehow make it happen! High praise lately for Carina and Ashley for updating my look. The other really cool thing about DPZ is that EVERYONE there is super friendly... And they're not one of those high-end salons that make you feel 'less-than' if you're not a total fashionista. Because I'm not. Yet, when I leave there, I feel like I could be. They're a little pricier than the mall salons, but - with all the training they give their team -you definitely get what you pay for! read more

I LOVE Dawn's Pizzazz. I have been using Dawn's as my #1 nail salon and spa for several years now and I have never been disappointed once. The nail technicians at Dawn's are all absolutely wonderful, know their clients, and take wonderful care of you. The salon itself is clean, inviting, easy to get to, and provides a great relaxing atmosphere. Dawn's staff is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that their customers receive top-of-the-line service. I highly recommend both the spa manicure and pedicure, and also highly recommend the wonderful Jackie Acosta, who does a flawless job of my nails every single time. Visit Dawn's Pizzazz for any service at all and I GUARANTEE you will NEVER be disappointed!!!!!! read more

I have been a customer of Dawn's Pizzazz for over 20 years. When my previous stylist moved out of state several years ago he recommended Julie and I couldn't be happier. She takes her time and gives attention to every detail. I have difficult hair to work with (straight and fine) but Julie's cut and color skills are superb. She is very knowledgeable about the many styling products Dawns offers and she will take the extra time needed to discuss just how to use them. She is a true perfectionist. The salon is always busy but I've always found a parking spot in the back lot. If you want a great haircut, color, manicure, pedicure, etc. Dawn's is the place! read more

I am a Danbury native and had been going to Dawn's Pizzazz since they opened the doors. I have since moved away about 15 years ago, and I have not been able to find any one out here to do my hair the way I like it. I now get my hair done EVERY time I go HOME. I have to say that the staff is very accommodating and helpful. Dawn always finds time to do my hair and this last time she actually had to FIX a major snafu that another hair dresser (in my continuing search for a local hair dresser/salon) did to my hair. I will continue to travel across the country to get my hair done at Dawn's Pizzazz because every time I leave there I am happy. : ) read more

Don't think I can ever go anywhere else because of Brenna. She has made me feel extremely secure with what she will be doing to my hair and help me decide what is best. I have been seeing her for well over a year now and have had nothing but a great experience. I sometimes am not very good at describing how I would like my hair to be, and it's as if she can read my mind and style my hair to exactly how I envisioned it. With many horrible experiences in the past, I don't trust hair stylists. Brenna is extremely knowledgeable, charismatic and gives me faith that whatever I do tell her I want, it will be done... but better. GO SEE BRENNA! read more

I just left Dawn's and, as usual, had a wonderful experience. While I had a microdermabrasion with Barb O., (the BEST when it comes to your face), my 14 year old daughter was enjoying a facial with Kelly, compliments of my husband. He knows there's only one thing that I want for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc...a Dawn's Pizzazz gift card! Following my service w/ Barb, I went on to my regularly scheduled partial foil with Tasia, a.k.a. The Miracle Worker, while sipping a complimentary glass of wine. I highly recommend Dawn's Pizzazz. The staff is highly skilled, friendly, and helpful. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

I've been a customer at DPZ for almost 7 years and I've yet to have a bad experience! My hair has been cut, colored and styled by Dawn, Heather, Chrissy, and Brenna . Lacie has cared for my skin and the manicure/pedicure team is awesome! I like that Dawn is constantly updating the environment and bringing in educators for her staff. I was even a model for one of the educational sessions and left a fabulous red head. The products carried at DPZ have strengthened my hair and its now longer than ever! ( I am a thyroid cancer survivor and as a result my hair is fragile.) I recommend DPZ to all of my friends! read more

Dawn's Pizzazz is, by far, the best salon in the area! I travel 1/2 hour in order to have the peace of mind that comes from a day at Dawn's. I know that Dawn and her staff are the best trained stylists, and the product line is so far ahead of what is available in other salons. I leave there feeling like a new woman, and really, is there a better feeling? In response to some of the previous reviews: I have never had a problem parking( and I drive a large SUV,) the salon is always sparkling, and I have asked my stylist( Dawn, herself) to " surprise" me with something new and cutting edge, and she delivered! read more

I've been going to Dawn's Pizzazz for years, and their entire team's professionalism is top notch. Their commitment to their clients is one of their first priorities, and I always feel and look it when I leave. Each hair dresser Dawn hires has their own set of unique qualities and skills. I'm always greeted with a smile and made to feel like it's my day to be pampered. They have a large array of products and Dawn's knowledgeable staff are happy to educate me on how to use any of them. Lastly, Dawn's Pizzazz is always up on the newest hair style trends, which is key if I want to transform my image. read more

Sometimes you just need a day of pampering and DPZ is the place to go. Whether you need a cut & style, a massage, a facial, mani/pedi or all of the above, the staff at DPZ will go above & beyond to make you feel special. My first experience was about 13 years ago when my now husband sent me there as part of a "scavenger hunt" they day we got engaged. He has continued to purchase gift cards for special occasions and sometimes for no reason at all. Every experience has been wonderful; the staff here aims to please to ensure their clients come back again and again. read more

I have been with Dawn's PIzzazz for over 20 years. I would not trust my hair to any other salon. Everytime I walk out of Dawn's I feel good, I look good, and I am on top of the world. Michelle is the greatest. She is up to date on all of today's styles and colors. My friends at work can't wait to see me the next day to see what new style Michelle has given me and the color is always fantastic! I have had facials and massages at Dawn's and always have walked out of there very pleased. If you want to look good and feel good Dawn's is the only place to go. read more
