Gina did my hair and did an amazing job! She's also very friendly, and offered me tea and sweets! My hair turned out so pretty for my cousin's wedding, and we had a stimulating conversation while it was done. Thank you Gina!!! read more

This is a great shop and we had a great experience. I took my mother there to get here hair done and Gina was amazing. My mom is 80 and not that mobile but Gina was amazing and took very good care of her. she brushed, washed, cut and styled her hair and it came out great. Gina is patient and kind and really took the time to understand what she wanted. she also ended up waxing my eyebrows and I really enjoyed that too. great place!!!! read more

I love how they did my hair. The staff is really knowledgeable, nice and friendly. I was totally pampered. read more

Laura & Company - Beautiful style on my hair. - Nail Salons Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

Medically,I was housebound right before Covid. Gina Casanova, owner and stylist was kind enough to schedule me the day after thanksgiving. It was a horrid night cold,wet and windy. As soon as I entered her shop, I was transported to a different world. Her shop was spotless,warm and toasty , full of autumn decorations and scents. Her last client was checking out which gave me just enough time to take coat off. Gina schedules her appointments so you never feel rushed. It's been so long but it all came back to me. The spa feeling! Gina get the job done with her gentle touch. I mentioned I couldn't get water in my eyes, she covered them. I went limp almost feel asleep. Soft Christmas music playing. A gentle head massage. I selfishly asked for a few more minutes and she obliged. Eye cover dry, no water in ears, no soaking clothes . No gossip. That alone is a big plus. She knows everything. Keeps up on all new changes. You never leave her shop unhappy. She serves Hot chocolate,coffee and wine. I passed.....felt I had enough the day before. She never looks or gets frazzled and that feeling gets transported to her clients. No hair dressers spending more time on iPhones and gossiping. While you are burning under a dryer soaked from a bad rushed shampoo. Plus you get great haircuts . Thank you Gina read more

I sent a message to their Facebook page because I was interested in eyelash extensions. They read my message and chose to not reply to my message. Months later I decide to message again. Once again, they read my message and failed to reply. So unprofessional and just plain f****ing rude. read more

Laura & Company - Nail Salons Near Me - Niantic, Connecticut

My friend Sheila was looking to get her eyelashes/eyebrows tinted for her birthday so I looked around for places that did such services (and on a Monday no less since many places seemed to be closed that day) and this place popped up. A mini road trip later and we're in Niantic. We get their early so we stopped in for lunch in a place next door (that I will review later) that was so slow I actually needed to get the food boxed to go while Sheila went to her appointment. It took me about 7 minutes to get the food boxed and walk over. During that time Sheila was told that some spots were missed by her hairstylist that dyed her hair 2 days before and that she could fix it for her. Sheila apparently told her to go wild. Sheila is such an easy sell, it physically hurt me to hear this. What was going to be maybe an hour visit for $60 for tinting of brows and lashes became a 4 hour visit that cost $260. This lady was a master salesman (although to be fair Sheila was kinda of easy) adding on add ons and suggesting more procedures (not limited to permanent make-up, ie facial tattooing) and expensive products. When all was said and done Sheila had gotten her eye lashes & brows tinted, highlights & low lights, crown, shampoo, and more. Which by the way...if all this started because her dye job was uneven, isn't adding highlights and lowlights kind of ironic? Anywho here is my impression. This place feels like a salon you'd see in the movies and maybe even with Dolly Parton right there gossiping and styling hair. There is a quaintness about the seating area that is nice but comfortably old fashioned. There was coffee, maybe cookies in a tin, and YES WIFI (to keep me entertained all those extra hours) on offer. Very botiquey items like purses for sale and wigs on display. The stylist (who I think might have been the owner) was nice and incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She was also the type to have some really big hair (a wig in this case), lots of make-up, and rocking some pretty high wedges as she did peoples hair. She was a total pro in dealing with customers and keeping a good, welcoming atmosphere, and as I said upselling products/services. She is almost exactly what I envision a stylist in a movie to be. My friends brows/lash tint came out awesome and her hair was VERY glamorous. So pretty good job performance wise but I definitely need to knock it down a star or two for how willing she was to bleed a client dry. I get it, it's a major part of her job to sell....but if you push your clients to spend all their money I don't think you can really trust the stylist to look after your best intersts and not the salons bottom line. STILL quite and experience, so if you want to feel like maybe you're being super pampered or something and have either a strong will or a large bank roll maybe check it out. She knows what's she's doing. read more

Just a note to tell everyone, that I LOVE my hair, everyone keeps telling me how great it looks. I have lost my style in the last few years, THANK YOU for finding my style and helping to find me. Thank you again Josie your the BEST!!! Karen Zaverton read more

Laura & Company offers a wonderful, enjoyable experience in a lovely quaint New England village setting, with world class results. Petra in particular has a way of treating the whole person in a way that makes them coming out looking top notch! She listens, and does not have fixed ideas about anything. She simple relies on her talent and cosmopolitan experience, to give a person the type of artistry that cookie-cutter like Supercuts simply can't match. I would heartily recommend this place not only to year round residents, but also to any summer visitors from any place in the world. Try to find better than Petra! read more

Terrible! Over priced! Prices not worth the money! The stylist gossip about the owner the entire time VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! What a mess and the place is dirty! read more

Niantic's Best Salon hands down. I've been to nearly every other shop at least once, but here they ACTUALLY LISTEN. Remember that? Getting the haircut you wanted instead of whatever your stylist felt like that day? Prices are about what you'd expect, and they have discounts on just about everything. I got hooked when Gina bleached my hair to a banana white for Halloween and then brought me back to my natural haircolor without a lecture or drama. She even stayed past closing to finish up THAT DAY. in short this is the go-to salon when you want something done right the first time. Oh, and no cramped waiting areas with screaming kids, unlike some chain salons I could mention. with free Wi-Fi it's a no brainer. read more

I have been going to Laura and Company since Laura owned it. I have seen the salon go through many changes, owners and staff. Gina, the current owner has been my stylist. She is very over the top with her style, she has a new look every time I go in. Besides that she is a fantastic hair stylist, very professional, kind and eager to make her clients happy. Yes, she has had some very unfortunate people working for her who do not know how to be professional but that should not be a reflection on her. I highly recommend her and her salon. read more

My wife was told $26 dollars for a blow dry and wash. My wife came in saying she washed her hair and to just wet it. She was charged 36 dollars with no wash and no tools used other than some clips and tons of hairspray. Her hair is to her shoulder blades and was told she has "TONS OF HAIR" and that's why the extra $10 dollars was added. The owner demanded the name of my wife's last loyal stylist favienne and called the salon and then called my wife's cell back leaving a message saying the wrong name of the stylist and arguing my wife's prior cost of a blow dry! TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE BEWARE!!!!!! I found another local salon for cheaper for her who was welcoming her with open arms with ZERO hidden costs! And cheaper!!!!!! I am in shock how my wife was treated by this business. read more

The salon itself is outdated and has scary looking wigs everywhere. The owner (Gina) seems like she's spaced out and can't put two words together. She is very pushy and over charges almost 2x as much as the other stylists in the same salon. I went to her only because I couldn't get an appointment with my regular stylist and I will never let her touch my hair again. read more

I had a horrible experience at this salon and would not recommend anyone who wants to have any color treatment done to go there. After my appointment my hair starting falling out in clumps and breaking. Scared, I visited all the surrounding salons to ask advice on what I should do. The last place I went offered a free deep conditioner treatment to see if that would help. I have spoken with the owner of Laura & Co and demanded a refund, but was only offered store credit in $25 increments for myself or anyone I would like to give them to. I would never send anyone I know there, let alone give them a gift card to use. Visit at your own risk !!! read more
