Salon Wayne

Want the best curly hair trim? See Maritza. Love her. She is a amazing!!! It’s very hard to find hair stylist for curly hair that know what they are doing due to curly hair need a special trim. I met Maritza 8 years ago. Would not let anyone else touch my hair.

I had to change salons and frankly was terrified, but read the reviews so decided to give the salon a try. Lisa is my stylist and she is amazing. The last stylist had left my hair brassy for over $ 200 charge so she had to do some repair work. We put mostly highlights, but also some low lights, turned out beautifully. Plus, the best haircut I have ever had. The staff are professional, stations clean and tidy, and restrooms kept nicely. Now, if only they served wine ;) Seriously, book your appointment with confidence. It is pricey, so ask for an estimate beforehand so you know what to expect. $$$

My 7 year old son really likes getting his hair cut here, so when I was in need of a trim I decided to give it a try. I booked a cut, blow dry and flat iron. The cut was just ok and the stylist ran out of time and couldn’t flat iron my hair. Instead she had the shampoo woman do it! While the shampoo woman did a great job, I found the experience obnoxious.

Great customer service and the professionalism is def there! Used Lidia .my first time for cut and style and I will be going back!!! Love the Sunday hours

I booked online here for the first time due to these Unilocal reviews! It was very easy to book and they text you a reminder before your appointment time! Maritza was so nice and understood the thick hair struggle! If you have thick or curly hair you should definitely go to her! She is super friendly and took her time. I told her that I work at a hotel front desk and I needed a haircut that would keep hair out of my eye and she definitely listened! :D

I visited today! Maria was my stylist and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable !!! Thank you! I have very difficult hair and she was great.

I think I had an unusual experience, based on the other reviews. However, I feel like the experience needs a review. I arrive on Friday early evening, and am seen by Lydia. The place is empty, with just one other woman finishing her service.
I explain what I’m looking for, which was frustrating, because of the stylist’s impatience:
«what you want?»
«angle bob, texture at the bottom»
«texture? No layers?»
«I’m not sure, but I have a picture of a past haircut I’ve liked a lot.»
«THAT’S LAYERS»
«Ok, can I just have that haircut?
The haircut proceeds, and I realize that she’s about to finish after about 15 minutes. I say that I want the hair to be shorter. She told me my hair is shorter, and indicates that I should look at my hair on the ground. I said, «yes, I understand that it’s shorter than when I arrived… But I would like it to be cut shorter than you’ve cut it!» Also, I wanted the angle to be more pronounced.
After some grumbling, she cuts it shorter and changes the profile, but it looks uneven. I ask her to check and it’s still uneven, She says it’s not. I insist that it is. Then she tells me that some unevenness should be expected.
Oh! I thought I was going to get the haircut I wanted, not the lazy cut you wanted to give me. It is ultimately fixed, but one of my least favorite haircuts in recent memory.

Maria want afraid to get in there, and when cutting bangs, that’s a must. I had been to two other places in stamford, as I recently moved here and neither was as good. She knew what I wanted and was realistic about how to cut it if i wanted major bangs. It’s worth the price since I more or less was also getting fixed what the last girl did to my do. Definitely recommend.

I was extremely skeptical to change hairdressers since I’ve been going to the same place for over 15 years but I decided to ask a coworker and she mentioned Salon Wayne. I had asked quite a few people at work but I ended up taking the recommendation from someone I trust very much. I called over to Salon Wayne for a consultation with Maritza after perusing the website and I made my appointment for a cut and color shortly thereafter. Maritza is absolutely wonderful, so friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. She listened and only made recommendations when I asked. I know there are quite a few reviews on here but trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed with Salon Wayne if you go for a cut and color with Maritza. I have a haircut that needs constant tweaking and I usually cut it monthly. My hair is super short in the back and long in the front which is why I was so hesitant to change. Do yourself a favor and go to Salon Wayne, you will not be disappointed. Not only is Maritza great but everyone I’ve met at the shop is really friendly and I have no complaints. It is pricey but let’s face it, why would you pay less when you may not get what you want. Good luck!

Maritza is made of magic, pure and simple. I moved recently from California for work and was not excited about entrusting a new person with my curly hair. Thankfully I was assigned to Maritza. She was easy to talk with and gave me one of my top 5 favorite haircuts of all time. Happy to say that she will be my stylist as long as I am in Stamford. Staff were all friendly and the prices were reasonable, especially for being in the NY metro area.

Heather, extremely nice was available on time and got me magazines. She also asked if I wanted anything to drink. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my highlights. I also explained how I wanted my hair cut.
My partial highlights took an hour. I was then placed under the dryer for 30 minutes. Here comes the worst part: my wash. The assistant nicely walked me over to the sinks. After I got my head in, she started vigorously pulling out the foils. It hurt. After all of the foils were out and chunks of my hair had been pulled out, the assistant put the cold water on. The assistant should have conditioned my hair before shampooing it because it was a tangled mess after the foil incident, but she didn’t. She proceeded to message my now tangled shampoo scalp, which also hurt. After that was over, I thought relief was on its way, with conditioner. She put a dab of conditioner on her hand, which was not enough for all of my hair. She realized this and tried to get more conditioner out of the empty bottle. With only a bit more conditioner, she decided to brush my hair in the sink– like WTF? During this time she asked me, «Does your hair normally get this knotty?» My response was, «I normally use conditioner.» Of course my hair is going to get knotty, especially after those highlight chemicals. She then washed the conditioner out with cold water. Lastly, she directed me to Heather’s chair.
I waited for Heather with cold, wet hair for about five minutes. When she returned, we reviewed how I wanted my hair cut. I explained that I did not want it short. She showed me exactly how much she was going to cut off. ¾ of the way through the cut, I realize that she cut too much, almost double what she showed me. I explained that she couldn’t cut any more because although my hair was wet then, when it curls, it was going to be even shorter. Long story short, color is good, but haircut is horrible. Also the blowout was not very good. My hair was still frizzy by the time I left. She used no product and the blow out itself took too long.
I saw a lot of guys getting their cuts here. Maybe they are better with that population?
Too expensive for the experience. I will not be going back.

The salon was nice, clean, and professional. No doubt about that. I loved that they had Sunday hours, so I called up and got in even though they are not my usual salon.
I brought pictures of the haircut I was going for (the beachy bob that is everywhere), but I left with something in between «the Rachel» and «Victoria Beckham circa 2005». My hair was already a grown out version of what I wanted, but the cut wasn’t even close. I got there early, but they took me about 10 – 15 minutes late.
Then, the stylist was rushing me through and wasn’t going to style the cut. When she asked if I wanted hairspray, I was confused — my hair looked absolutely nothing like my pictures. She tried to convince me that what she did was accurate, but it was clear after she finally agreed to put some curl in that the cut was all wrong. Somehow she cut my thick hair into a flat, lifeless, dated cut.
Luckily, she didn’t charge me for the cut — I didn’t expect that at all (and I tried to insist on paying), but I did appreciate it. I gave the salon 2 stars b/​c everything else was great, the stylist was nice and I appreciated her cutting bait when it was clear I wasn’t happy and she wouldn’t have been able to fix it.
Now I have to explain to my regular stylist that I cheated.

Got a haircut with Lydia. She is Deva haircut trained as well, although I did not get that type of cut. I am happy with the cut and will go back.

If you have wavy or curly hair Maritza’s your gal. She has curls herself so she gets it! I’m new to the Deva process (cutting hair while dry) and have been very pleased with the results. Maritza also colors hair. I’ve been to her for partial highlights. Very happy with the color. She recommends color based on the season. Love that! Salon is cute but located in a busy strip mall. Do yourself a favor and allow a few extra minutes to find parking. Overall very happy that I’ve found Salon Wayne and especially Maritza!

Prices: $ 47 for a male haircut; $ 85 for a partial dying
Good haircut and the woman cutting it (Heather) wasn’t rushing to push me out the door. On the other hand, she didn’t ask very many questions about what I want or, in general, interact a lot to make sure we were on the same page. Still, the haircut turned out well so perhaps it’s a non-​issue. Reception was very customer-​focused: when I was overcharged (based on what I had been priced at over the phone), they were quick to refund the difference. Overall, I would come back here.

Maritza works magic with curls! Teaches you how to manage them at home. Prices are very reasonable for this area. Owner/​managers give back to the community in many different ways.

I was there for 4 ½ hours, but wow was it worth it!
I am a natural red head, and as I have become (ahem) older, the color does fade, drastically. When I made my appointment, I specifically asked the receptionist to pair me up with someone who knows how to do red hair. Long story short, she paired me up with Heather (who is a red head herself,) and Heather did not disappoint! I have long hair which needed a good shaping as well. I am now back to being a red head, and my hair looks and feels wonderful. The only con was the price, but that was due to many steps in the interim. However, if you maintain it, the maintenance is a fraction of the price.

As many females know finding that perfect place that will make you smile as you walk away with a fabulous new hairstyle is tough. I’d had one hair stylist for as long as I knew and when she relocated I went to several different salons and was disappointed with the results. I remembered someone mentioning Salon Wayne to me and figured I’d check out the website. I went in person and they were able to get me in as soon as possible.
I had an appointment with Cara who was great in terms of listening to what I wanted to have done to my hair, respecting what I wanted done and styling it awesomely. I walked away with an awesome hairstyle and left with that feeling that you are on top of the world and that everyone is staring at your fabulous hair. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful experience. :)

Had a huge hair dilemma where another salon messed up my hair horribly. I called around to several salons to only have them be closed on a Sunday (especially before labor day)… Finally I called salon Wayne who not only was open but willing to have a consult to c what was wrong with my hair. I had my consult with mariska, who didn’t guarantee being able to fix my hair that day but said she would do her best. I drove the 45minutes to the salon to be greeted by the nice front desk girl who told mariska I was there. She took me over to her station and for 30mins we discussed my issue and figured out the best and least harmful treatment for my light blonde hair. She ended up working me in to her schedule and fixing my hair! I was so happy and will be returning to her next month for my hair dye job! Thank you Mariska and salon Wayne!

Despite moving to Stamford more than 6 months ago, I had put off getting a haircut here because I found it hard to swallow the NYC-​level prices. $ 70 seemed steep for a women’s cut, and I thought, «how good can it really be?» Very, very good, it turns out.
I finally bit the bullet and made an appointment with Heather for a cut, and I am thrilled with the results. I wanted a short, choppy long pixie cut/​short bob. Many stylists I’ve been to seem really uneasy with short cuts — I’ll say to take three inches off and get rid of a lot of the bulk, and they’ll trim an inch and look at me like, oh no are you sure? No such hesitancy with Heather. We discussed exactly what I wanted, she gave me some options about how she could cut it and what would look best with my face shape and hairline, and we decided that a razor cut would work the best for what I wanted. I’ve had razor cuts before, and this is possibly the best one I’ve ever had. She cut (razored?) skillfully and confidently, and my hair is now short and light and stylish — exactly what I wanted. Better than I expected, even, and well worth the $ 70.
The salon staff is friendly and helpful. Heather was finishing up with another client when I arrived and I had to wait for about ten minutes, which is pretty much how long I expect to wait for an appointment, but the receptionist and Heather were both super apologetic for keeping me waiting. I didn’t mind the wait at all, but really appreciated that they were conscious of my time.
It’s been a long while since I’ve felt this good about a cut. Salon Wayne is definitely worth the money!
