“This year, 2024, I relied on Kara Mac's spray tans for my bachelorette, my bridal shower, and even my destination wedding. For each and every event, Kara and her technicians made me look and feel so beautiful. Kara spray-tanned me for my bach and my shower, and then she worked with me to have Itzel travel all the way to St. Thomas to tan me and my bridesmaids for my wedding day. The fact that Kara allowed someone to travel with me was amazing, but then having my technician as Itzel was just beyond incredible!! Itzel is the sweetest girl who takes her time to make sure you look absolutely perfect!

Kara and Itzel, thank you so much for everything. You made me glow for all my important bridal events, and I couldn't be more thankful!“

“Kiki was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable, not just about color techniques but also about maintaining hair health. She really took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and brought my vision to life perfectly. She was so accommodating helping me with my baby shower hair. Every appointment with Kiki is a great, stress free experience. Thank you“

“I had the pleasure of working as a headshot photographer at Anna V Collective, and let me tell you—this isn’t just a salon, it’s a sanctuary of beauty and style! The space is absolutely stunning, with a chic, modern design that feels both luxurious and welcoming.

The staff is equally fabulous—talented, warm, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Whether you’re there for a haircut, color, or any beauty service, you’re in expert hands. They create an atmosphere that’s as relaxing as it is inspiring, perfect for bringing out your best look.“

“I have not liked my eyebrows since I plucked them within an inch of their lives in high school, (TRAGIC) and I finally did something about it.

Jessica did such an amazing job and I am beyond happy with my brow glow up!✨

“If there was an option to give 6 stars I would! If you're looking the best wedding makeup in CT, look no further. I first met Chelsea when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding. Hands down the best professional bridesmaids makeup I have ever had and seen in others-- both in person and in the photos. If you've been in a wedding or have gotten married you know how essential it to nail the makeup in person AND in photos. Each bridesmaid looked incredible and also naturally herself. In addition, I've used Chelsea for makeup application multiple times for various events- engagement photos, reception party makeup, professional LinkedIn photos, a wedding day trial for my elopement-- and for each event's unique makeup aesthetic, I've been very happy. I highly recommend always going for the airbrush foundation and lashes. I've also gone to Chelsea for 4 years for my eyebrows. She does an impeccable job and I will never go anywhere else. Seriously what a gem. She is also super sweet, professional, and her studio is comfortable and clean.“

“OMG, I don't know where to start. First, Yajaira is not only a super amazing person but an incredibly talented makeup artist and hair dresser. She is easy to talk to, she truly cares about her clients satisfaction, she does her absolute best for that, and the results are always beyond expectations...

She did the hair and makeup for a photography giveaway of my business and the winner still talks about how incredible Yajaira is, how light and beautiful she felt, and because of that she felt like a true model for the photoshoot! (Which made my job easier haha) THANK YOU YAYI!!“

“Just had to come and give a wonderful shout out to Annette. She was very accommodating and wonderful today when I needed an appointment on short notice. Did a great job. So appreciate!“

“Kate is the absolute best stylist! Highly recommend for color - cut- whatever service you will not be disappointed“

“Recommended by a wonderful friend, I scheduled an appointment with Heidi at Salon H for a consultation due to my desperate need for color correction and hopefully, restoring not only my natural color but also adding both highlights/lowlights (usual protocol). Scheduling was super easy and confirmations for my appointment (upon scheduling as well as week of my appointment) were very helpful (acknowledging the appointment with directions etc).

Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and without waiting, I was kindly escorted to the chair of my stylist. Within seconds, I was greeted by Heidi and introduced to Michaela (spelling ?) who was “shadowing” her that day. They were both extremely welcoming, friendly, upbeat and engaging. Since I was rather anxious, we got down to business right away.

Heidi assessed my hair while asking my history. She compassionately listened to my history, concerns and wishes. Without hesitation, she offered her professional opinion as to what I (my damaged hair) needed as well as her professional recommendation as to how to proceed with repair, correction as well as my request for highlights and lowlights. She was very sensitive about my situation as well as my goal. Heidi recommended a treatment plan to get to where I ultimately wanted regarding my hair (final outcome). She articulated very clearly the protocol that would be best/healthiest in order to treat my very damaged hair as well as prep for highlights/lowlights once my hair was healthy again. With professional as well as at-home treatment, it was going to take time. I completely understood and actually fully appreciated her professional opinion, and the plan moving forward. To do otherwise would have resulted in causing more damage to my hair perhaps resulting in further discoloration as well as possible hair loss.

Heidi did a great job matching a color (to bring me back to my original/natural color) by assessing my skin as well as eyebrows (no one has ever used my eyebrows as a good foundation to work from) and I’m thoroughly happy with the treatment plan for repair as well as the outcome of my current color which is naturally “me” again (infact I like the color so much that I may keep it versus adding highlights/lowlights) …to be determined.

Heidi and her team are absolutely fabulous… Salon H has a wonderful vibe, is clean, beautiful to the eye and very well organized. Although it was my first time there and I was rather anxious… I felt welcomed and at ease under their professional care. I have a follow up appointment in July, as well as in September. In the meantime, I have an at-home treatment plan to rebuild the health of my hair.

Thank you, Heidi, Michaela and Salon H (highly recommended). Finally, I can hold my head high again!!! ??‍♀️

PS Did I mention how they asked me if I was comfortable and if I wanted anything – water/coffee/tea etc.? Truly as wonderful experience with the Salon. Do yourself a favor: GO!!!!

PS I returned for another TLC visit today (#3)
so that Heidi could do her magic and continue to repair damage from another salon. She is absolutely amazing…. Here are a couple little things that are big things that make a difference- For the first time in my life, I had a timer put before me so I knew how much there was to process the repair/highlights, etc. Never before I had I had the benefit of having a timer so it allowed me to gauge appropriately rather than wonder ??‍♀️

The other small thing that made a difference was a little message on the mirror in front of me… I will post a photo below. The little things make all the difference in the world!“

“I can’t say enough amazing things about my makeup tech—she’s more than just an artist, she’s like a sister to me. Every time I sit in her chair, I feel surrounded by love, care, and warmth. She doesn’t just enhance my features—she lifts my spirit. I walk in feeling one way and leave feeling like the best version of myself, every single time.

She has this special touch that goes beyond makeup. Her presence is comforting, her energy is grounding, and her heart is pure gold. I always feel seen, heard, and absolutely beautiful when she’s done. It’s not just about how I look—it’s about how she makes me feel.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, who puts her heart into her craft, and who treats you like family, she’s the one. Thank you for always showing me love through your work and your presence—you’re a true gem. ?

I love you Dom ??“

“Dana was an absolute joy to work with! She recently did hair and makeup for me (the bride), my mom, and my maid of honor, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Dana was warm, professional, and incredibly communicative leading up to the big day. I absolutely loved how everything turned out during my hair and makeup trial, and she somehow made it even better on the wedding day. She made each of us feel so comfortable and truly brought out our natural beauty. I felt the most beautiful I’ve ever felt thanks to Dana’s talent and care, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m so glad we chose her!“

“I've been to many salons in Branford and have now found THE ONE! Fran and her team are excellent for both color, highlights and cuts. Love love love the new dimensions in my hair. Also saved time and got my eyebrows tinted while I waited for my color to set so bonus, they came out great too! Highly recommend!“

“Jackie is the best. She makes my curls nice n pretty. All the staff I've encountered are sweet as heck. It seems like a happy place to be.“

“Best salon experience...Last Monday, I had my first appointment after years of staying away from salons because of not so good experiences. D'Juana changed my entire perception about what a salon experience should be. From the moment I walked in the door, I received a warm greeting and an engaging and friendly interaction that made me feel confident my hair was in good hands. My hair was a hot mess when I arrived. I left feeling and looking like a brand new person. Im still getting compliments. Great atmosphere and professional. Awesome vibe. Wonderful hair dresser. Hats of D'Juana!Services: Perms“

“I had the most wonderful experience at Kristen's salon! The cozy atmosphere is perfect for someone like me with social anxiety, and Kristen's warm and friendly demeanor immediately put me at ease. Her prices are incredibly affordable, especially compared to other salons I've been to. For my flame hair, I spent only $145 at Frenchies, whereas I paid a whopping $500 elsewhere. Kristen is not only skilled but also highly informative and professional, ensuring that everything is disinfected for a safe and clean experience. I'm thrilled to have found this gem of a salon, and I'll be a loyal customer for maintaining my fantasy colors. Thank you, Kristen, for making me feel fabulous!Services: Kids' cuts“

“Awesome customer service I told her how I wanted my make up she did exactly what I asked for...I highly recommend her to anyone who needs their make up/ lashes doneServices: Eyelash enhancements“

“I saw that Paul would come to one’s home so I texted him to make an appt. He responded quickly and set up a time to come over. I set up outdoors and that was just fine with him. He was professional, he listened to what i wanted, saw a pic of style and he did a great job..“

“I am obsessed with Vima, I have been a client of Bailey for over 2 years now and my hair always comes out the way I want it. I usually get a full highlight and natural root melt, and she keeps my hair healthy. The salon itself is clean and the staff, especially the owner, is very friendly and professional. Attaching my most recent full highlight lol“

“100000/10 Where do I even begin??? Nadia was one of the first vendors I booked almost two years prior to my wedding. the responsiveness & communication is next level. Thank you Nadia for dealing with my thousand questions and never once made me feel like I was asking too much or anything. Comfort level for me is crucial with any vendor and morning of my bridal shower, and morning of my wedding we had FUN, which set the tone for the rest of those days. Nadia and her team not only made me feel the most beautiful for my bridal shower, but every single bridesmaid and my mother and MIL felt absolutely stunning. They LISTEN, like really listen to what you like, what you need, and ensure that you leave the chair feeling confident. So many HMU artists don’t listen to their clients, but Nadia and her team take the time to really ensure that everything you want is done perfectly. I cannot wait to continue to use Nadia and her team for everything, event makeup to my lashes you name it. I cannot recommend Nadia & her team enough. Thank you for everything ❤️❤️“
