I hired Tara's Beauty Studio for my wedding hair after having a great experience getting my hair…read moredone as a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding with Andrea. First off, Tara was great at organizing and explaining the process and pricing via email and sending out my contract asap. I then scheduled my trial appointment at the salon, which went amazingly! My stylist was Marie, who was so sweet and listened to all of my wishes and concerns about my wedding day look. She seriously is a hair magician- my hair is not easy to work with (very fine, slippery, but a LOT of hair), and she totally crushed it. I feel so confident in having Marie style my hair and my bridesmaids' hair on my wedding day. I'll be sure to post updated photos after my wedding this fall!

She was extremely nice and professional over the phone, asked me questions about my style and hair. I didn't have anything specific in mind (only knew I wanted a cut and highlights), so she gave me some great advice. Long story short - I absolutely love my hair. It compliments my face, makes me feel confident and it was pretty affordable. I plan on going back to Heidi in a few months to do the balayage. I've recommended her to at least 4 people :)

He takes his time on your haircut and you don't feel rushed. His personality is great and makes sure you look your best once you walk out of there. Booking an appointment is always fast and easy. Also everyone there is friendly. Once you become a regular the front start to remember your name. I also like that the sit down time is not too long. They are normally on time for your appointment for a few minutes behind. For any guys that need haircut to look your best everyday or that special occasion, look for Josh in their Southington location! I also think he is in the Newington location once a week.

Note that what I want to say has nothing on the business itself. The owner, Jessica, is more than…read moreaccommodating and understanding and almost all of the stylists working in her salon are incredible. I went to the salon looking to do a balayage. I was told by hairstylist Jennifer in confidence that what I wanted can be easily done. 5 hours later and my hair was fried (had to cut more than two inches) and it had turned green/blue. And looked so disgusting that I had to keep my hair up or braided to not draw attention. The entire appointment Jennifer was rude and making excuses for the AWFUL things she was doing to my hair. She got to the point of cutting random chunks of my hair. I was naive and thought it was my fault based on the fact I had never lightened my hair before. She was blaming the way my hair was colored (wasn't colored), the way my hair was cut, and any other excuse she could pull. I later found out that this woman specializes in MENS HAIRCUTS. and had never mentioned to me once about how uncomfortable she was or unconfident that she could do a good job. She kept me under the dryer for almost 40 minutes with bleach and foil in my hair. And toward the end of the appointment admitted defeat by saying "I don't care what clients think of their hair, as long as I like it I know I did a good job." It's safe to say I got a refund from the owner who again, was incredibly nice. I'm just baffled that this other professional did not mention her uncertainty once and royally messed up my completely healthy hair. I was able to fix it at Beautiful People salon in Cromwell (see my review on their page to see final results). I will never be asking for Jennifer again, and am so disappointed with how unprofessional the entire experience was.

She must have used a very strong developer (or something) because what I walked out with was ORANGE, BRASSY hair. Not to mention that my hair STARTED SMOKING when Kelly Marie had it in the foils. I alerted her, she made a face like, "Oh no," unfolded the foil, took a look & just closed it back up & left it on for another 15 or so minutes...what in the world?! End result, the entire top of my head lost about 8 inches and then they had the nerve to charge me $200+ for it! I was realistic in my color choice & was still staying in the "dark" color family so why did I walk out with orange, brassy hair? When I say orange...I mean literally orange. I was too nice since I saw Kellys eyes get watery when I told her it wasn't what I wanted and I didn't notice the fall out until I got home. The next day, I went back and had Sammy Jo try to fix it. She applied a nice color that quickly washed off after my 1st wash. All I was left with was dried, orange, shreds of long and short brillo-like hair. Only if you don't like your hair, then you can give them a try. Maybe they'll do a nice job with cuts but I woudn't trust them with color or anything that involves chemicals.
