Salon 221

Away from my «neck of the woods» on a grey May Day at the delightful J House Hotel (boasting a lovely spa but no hair salon on site) and in need of a local blowout in a pinch, I summoned the Unilocal Hair Goddesses for assistance. What they found for me: Salon 221 in Cos Cob, CT. Serendipity! From the moment I entered owner Jody Orrico’s salon, she made me made me feel welcomed and comfortable. Located inside a suburban office building (finding the salon might take you a fast minute or two) her salon is bright, expansive, and on point, offering organic beauty and hair treatments, as well as lash extensions (& quite possibly hair extensions, too)! Jody is an intuitive, talented hair stylist who quickly understands what you’re looking for in a hair do, as well as what you’re not looking for. She spun my straw like limp locks into wavy spun silk. Rare gem: talented stylist with 20 plus years of experience, a lovely salon, and seemingly indefatigable knowledge of the local beauty scene. If I’m in the area again, I will surely be back. Cash and checks accepted only.

My hair came out awesome I love it the people are so nice there and the prices are great

Exactly what I want in a salon: great service, great people – comfortable, cozy atmosphere, and not pretentious. Jody, the owner, has been cutting my hair since 1986 (okay, I admit it, we did some perming back then, too). She is lovely, she hires good people (good at their jobs and just plain good people), she goes the extra mile to take care of her customers. ONCE, in all these years, my cut didn’t work for me – she recut it immediately at no charge. Everyone on staff is up on all the latest techniques and products. Not to mention that Jody is super active in the community and often donating services to various causes. No wonder the clients are so loyal!
