I'm going to be in a wedding coming up and I was really looking forward to getting my makeup done…read more When I called, the receptionist was unfamiliar with the makeup rates ( as they have many different options) So I waited in hold ( no biggie ) . Per the receptionist, Lisa the bridal service coordinator was busy with a client ( also not a biggie ) and that she would get back to me shortly after she finished. I left all my info , phone number, email, day and location of wedding and If I was looking for makeup for a whole bridal party or not . Once I stated that I was just looking to get my own makeup done as the other bridesmaids are each doing their own makeup. I could hear the receptionist tone change ( clearly that's not ideal) Days have gone by and no call or email from Lisa( I checked spam as well ). I Expected a little more professionalism. If wedding makeup is only done for groups maybe the website can be a little clearer on that or let the receptionist know it's a policy so people don't waste their time . Update: I do appreciate being reached out to by Lisa to clear up any confusion after my review, however I did find somewhere else to get makeup services.

Wonderful as always! Erica is a delight and incredibly talented at what she does. She's…read moreconsistently delivered the best haircuts I've ever received.

She is clearly super knowledgeable about her craft. Thank you for all your hard work Erica!

Ashley, the owner of Save Your Scissors in Southbury, is absolutely amazing! I've been a client of…read morehers for about two years, and she never fails to make me feel beautiful. For my wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. My hair was everything I dreamed of -- the color was perfect, and the updo was stunning. It stayed in place all day and looked amazing in every photo! Ashley is the real deal -- she's so nice, caring, and down to earth. She has such a calming presence, which made getting ready on my wedding day so relaxing and fun. She made me feel confident and beautiful, and I can't thank her enough for that. She also did an incredible job on my daughter, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my maid of honor -- everyone looked gorgeous! We all felt so special thanks to Ashley's talent and warmth. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also genuinely kind and passionate about what she does, Ashley is the one. I'm so grateful she was part of my wedding day -- I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair! THANK YOU! I also had an amazing tan done by Anthony, who works there as well. He's fantastic--not only did he give me the perfect glow for the wedding, but he also cuts my daughter's hair with such care and skill. We've been trusting him for a long time because he always does a great job. My whole family is huge Save Your Scissors fans! From haircuts, extensions, color, to tanning, everyone always leaves feeling confident and cared for. The welcoming atmosphere and talented team keep us coming back again and again. -Melanie

I have a lot of hair, and it had not seen scissors or color since early January, except for that frightful bangs trim I gave myself. I was a little nervous about the reception I would receive. When I arrived for my appointment, I was greeted by Daniel, who checked me in and offered me a beverage. I accepted the offer of water, but that Mimosa was pretty tempting on a Friday afternoon! Shortly thereafter, I met Gianna. What a love! We hit it off right away. And she didn't hate my hair! She looked at a photo of how I'd like it cut, we talked about the color and since it had been so long, she took 2" off the ends, cut a bunch of layers into the style and gave me the refresh I so desperately needed! The salon itself is nicely decorated and trendy. There are several style stations and a separate room with more stations and an area with sinks and an area for mixing color. All of the stylists and assistants were friendly and really appeared to like what they do. It was nice to see that the stylists supported and complimented each other's work. I booked a return appointment when I paid and truly look forward to going back. I will definitely recommend Whip Salon to my friends! I'm sorry, I didn't take photos!

All but two of the most recent reviews refer to Sandy Hook Hair Company, which closed in 2019 (see…read morehistory description) after nearly 25 years. The owner, Bonnie Fredericks, retired and the stylists work elsewhere. Salon Newtown is part of an expanding franchise (https://www.whipsalon.com/franchise). This franchise location was bought in 2019 by a stylist known as Marcelle Tiffany. The salon is tastefully decorated, making most of the limited space. Parking is easy. Of note, the salon is acting as a trailblazer of sorts ... participating in the Local Green Salon initiative, in which chemical-contaminated metal waste from color treatments are recycled. Wondering about the name? In a Nov/Dec 2019 SalonToday.com article, the franchise founder, Amy Pai, claims it's a slang term for hair. As it's the first reference I've come across, perhaps it's a term she created to help the franchise stand out. Adding to confusion, the "slang" term is popularly used as a verb in salon promotions (e.g. #getwhipped ) , inviting speculation about the origin of inspiration. Definitely brings attention!
