This is local treasure for beauty, pampering and boutique shopping! Located under Metro Bis…read morerestaurant in the center of Simsbury, Rhenium has the most beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. The building is a Simsbury historic, former family mansion, restored with the most elegant touches. My hair stylist is Ali. She is extremely talented ~ best highlights and cuts I remember since the hair stylist I loved during my high school years. She is super warm, friendly and comfortable to spend those 1-2 hour appointments with (the things we women go though huh). She is so good at what she does, my husband and father have gone to her for cuts and... even though they have unique head shapes and Hair characteristics, she has given them both their best cuts. No surprise my mother also joined in for her weekly wash and blowouts with complete satisfaction. I have also seen how talented she is with all types of hair including curly tresses. I follow the salons Instagram page and know from what I see, and from seeing the numerous ladies I know from around town who use Rhenium as their Beauty hub, that ALL of the stylists are at that elite level of talent and professionalism. I know they also do weddings and updos. Today I walked in and was greeted by Kathy and Sophie. Kathy is so personable, and can help you book appointments, buy gift certificates, and even help you find your way around the boutique and their new better-consignment section. I believe she helps order and run the boutique (I could be wrong and will update if needed). Sophie has a nutrition-wellness & life coaching business, and can even do tarot card readings while you get your do done. Today I picked up a wonderful crystal filled spray bottle of room spray that Sophie created that I already love! On the website look under "More of the Good Stuff" to see what Sophie offers. Both of these ladies will provide you with professional and kind service. Today I met Leslie for a facial.. what a special and caring person she is. She created such a relaxing and beautiful room to pamper her clients. The facial was so much more than a facial! I was immediately helped to relax. She took her time, massaged my head, shoulders and parts of my upper shoulders and back. I felt so taken care of and she was just lovely to chat with. I didn't realize just how much I needed this pampering and relaxation. I left feeling so happy & relaxed... from a booked facial! I'm still new to this salon so I imagine as I experience new services I can come back and update you. In addition to hair and skin care, nutritional services and life coaching, they have a masseuse and a red laser lit sauna! Do yourself a favor and check out their website and book yourself a well-deserved pampering appointment! You can book online. If you need a gift for a lady in your life, I guarantee their boutique has something you can quickly pick up that will be greatly appreciated.

My fiancé had to come here today as she got her hair colored and cut yesterday at Fringe in West Hartford and they did an awful job! Her hair was cut uneven, etc and it became a total nightmare. Fast forward to today and Hair Gallery was able to correct the previous cut and give my fiancé the cut she wanted and should've gotten yesterday. The stylists here are extremely knowledgeable, super efficient and very nice. Everything and more that you'd expect from an upscale salon! This will now be her go to salon for eveything. By the way, the stylists name was Heather and she did an absolutely fantastic job! I'd also like to mention Sarah at the front desk who was also extremely nice and super accommodating for this nightmare. Thank you all!

The lack of conversation makes it awkward as I try and trying to out where to direct my gaze as I'm sitting directly in front of a mirror facing myself. Eventually I become too wrapped up in wondering if my hairdressers had a bad day and is now taking it out on my hair of hair to care where I'm looking. Fortunately, at Defining Styles I've never had this problem. The hairdressers are friendly, dynamic and make you feel like they're really psyched to be cutting your hair. Most importantly however, they really know what they're doing and they listen (if I could italicize that, I would). When I request to have only have a few inches taken off my hair, I leave with my hair the length I wanted. No surprise bobs here! The stylists here make sure to discuss what you plan to do with your hair before they start snipping so that you have plenty of time to make sure it's the cut you'd like. The texture of your hair is taken into account so that you don't end up with a cut that only looks amazing when your hair's straightened.... but you have naturally curly hair. If you're trying to avoid silent (possibly angry?) hairdressers, you're safe at Defining Styles.
