Salon Shahin

I went to Salon Shahin a couple of years ago. I had recently moved to Stamford and was trying to find a stylist here. I paid for a haircut/​trim and blowout. The haircut/​trim definitely got rid of my split ends. However, the stylist I had didn’t really care what I wanted. He was just operating like he knew better and my opinion was whatever. I also felt rushed. That combined with the price of the haircut, made me not want to return.

Moved to Stamford 9months ago and been looking for The One and I’ve finally found her at Salon Shahin! The blind date of hair styling, made an appointment off the reco of a new dear friend. Was set up with Sonia and I couldn’t be happier. She has mad skills with style and shears! After a quick look at my hair and my need to be «more corporate executive», Sonia knew exactly what I needed. She made quick work of the blazé style from another local salon and turned my look from drab and no direction to board room ready! So glad we got we got hooked up! Love the place too!

I haven’t been to Salon Shahin after many years. I was happy to have returned for an overdue haircut. My stylist Antoine (Tony) did a fabulous job! I highly recommend him and the salon as they were very friendly and attentive. Look forward to my next visit!

I came here by recommendation from my friend and I am so glad I did! I called Saturday after my workout, and they had me in in an hour, which was fantastic and earned instant brownie points in my book.
You walk in and feel like an instant celebrity… Yes I’ll have a mimosa or two AND a cappuccino… I thought you’d never ask. Everyone working was extremely professional, and the stylist I was paired with, Trisha, really knew what she was talking about… It’s always a relief when your hair stylist will do the thinking for you. I am extremely happy with my hair and the timing of everything… My past salon would take 3.5 hours for a full head, I was in and out in two hours at Salon Shahin.
Also, first service you receive 20% off your bill. i opted instead for some fancy shampoo/​conditioner to keep my hair fresh for longer. I can’t wait to return in a few weeks for a keratin ;)

Pretty good cut, extremely expensive. That being said, they serve you wine and coffee, shampoo your hair in the most comfortable chair, and even provide changing rooms to change into your smock. The space is beautiful and all the people are very welcoming and nice. This would be a place to go for a blow-​out or a serious coloring job. But for a simple trim… $ 100 is a little bit steep. CASH TIPS PREFERRED!

I’ve been getting my hair done at Salon Shahin for about 6 years (it could be more — I have honestly lost track). Even when I lived in NYC I would make the trek on the weekends to get my hair done here. All the stylists are professional and very friendly! They always make me feel right at home (and are more than accommodating when I have to take the late slot on Thursday nights, and more often than not — end up shutting the salon down…). :)
Before I came to Salon Shahin, I was going through the process of finding a good colorist to get my very dark hair to the blonde I love. Unfortunately, my journey resulted in my hair starting to break off and I had to dye it back to brown so I wouldn’t be completely bald. I found Salon Shahin, got back to blonde, and have never looked back! When you’re getting your hair bleached/​colored every 5, 6, 7 weeks — you need people you can trust to take care of it. Considering all of the torture I put it through, my hair is pretty healthy and most of my friends don’t even realize that I’m not a natural blonde.
Special shout-​outs to Lindsay and Trisha, who are wonderful and I highly recommend!
Also — they have really great eyebrow threading here on Saturdays.

So this place has a private hair room with its own sink, which makes it perfect for Muslim women/​hijabis who cover their hair. The stylists are relatively good – I got a cut and blowout which looked nice but for the amount I paid was kind of underwhelming. I also got my eyebrows waxed, but it was way overdone and she kind of changed the shape of them as well. And of course the price was insane. Come here if you are in desperate need of a private cut in a room, wear hijab, or have an extra $ 300 lying around; otherwise try to find a better rated and cheaper place.

My first time here at Salon Shahin. I had Michael as my stylist. I have fine curly hair and he did a wonderful job. Awesome head massage. He knew what he was doing. I highly recommend Michael. my hair looked brittle with dead/​dry ends. He cleaned them up and my hair is singing with delight!

One of THE best haircuts I have ever had. I booked an appointment with Michael. I went in with shoulder length blah red brown hair.
I wanted a bold dramatic cut and color. I have thick multi textured hair and it is NOT easy to work with. Michael gave me the most gorgeous color and he worked with me on deciding what would look best and didn’t sugar coat anything – when I showed him a picture of some cuts I liked – he honestly (and nicely) told me that it wouldn’t work with my hair texture. He took the time to talk through what I wanted and what would work.
He was enthusiastic, super friendly and he gave me the most gorgeous haircut I have ever gotten. He initially gave me a beautiful graduated asymmetrical bob with a vibrant but very elegant bold red multi-​dimensional color. I left the salon and realized I really wanted a shorter, wilder cut and immediately went back in (after he had already spent 3 hours with me!) and he made the time to re-​wash my hair and do another shorter cut. The cut honestly made me teary eyed! It exceeded what I wanted and I felt really beautiful and transformed from a boring blah cut to a bold yet pretty dramatic style. The entire staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Michelle was assisting Michael and her scalp massage is sooooooo awesome.
Michael is warm, funny and hilarious while also being extremely professional. I already scheduled another appointment with him and will continue definitely continue to work with him.
They also have some crazy good products! I am really picky about make-​up and am a Mac pro junkie. While at Salon Shahin I got a lip plumping gloss that is to die for and an eyebrow gel (Cailyn Gelux eyebrow gel in Cocoa) that literally lasts all day and only comes off with make-​up remover. I pencil my brows in every day (good brows can REALLY make your eyes pop!) and often would end up smudging my brows at some point during the day. The Cailyn eyebrow gel even withstands sweaty tough Crossfit sessions. :) I can’t rave enough about Salon Shahin. It deserves 10 stars.
Salon Shahin is not a cheap salon… but you get what you pay for – if you want a stylist with experience, knowledge and skill– you have to spend good $!

Great hair cut by Tony, very happy with my cut. However, the color and highlights by Clarissa wasn’t great at all. The colorist clearly didn’t fulfilled what I asked for. All I wanted was single process light brown color. I think she deliberately colored my hair darker than my normal hair, so she can schemed money out of me by making me agree to highlight my hair. After dyeing my hair black, she was like oh I will give you a good deal for highlights. I can’t express how unethical this is. She tricked me by first making my hair darker than my normal hair and then high lightening it lighter to make my bill higher. So, now I have dark brown hair with very light highlights. Never going back for color, bunch of thugs!

I love this place! I have been going to this salon since 2007 and I have recommend it to a lot of people. Every time I go to the salon, I feel so pampered. The salon is very clean and stylish and the staffs are very nice. My stylist are Tina and Lindsey and they both do a great job! It is quite pricey, but you get what you pay for.

So, i was so spontaneous with this hair appt… Wanted to go lighter with my highlights since summer is here and decided to check out the salons in my area DT Stamford, read the reviews on Unilocal,and boom! Ended up at Shahin… I was taken care by Anna and told her my wants… So, from talking about the right color for me i randomly ask her if anybody in the salon really knows how to cut curly hair (i have really really curly hair) i explain to her once again what i wanted, a fresh new look, SHORT!!! Super short!!! Curly bob short!!! What the hell… And she suggested her boss, supposedly he is the main man for cutting short styles and knows best with my type of hair… To make my long story short, he ended up cutting my hair and Anna doing my color.
My end result: Looooooooooved it!!! I couldn’t believe that my hair cut came out SO good and edgy, specially for a CURLY HAIR GIRL like me. I have never been 100% satisfy with a cut specially bc it wasn’t done by a non Devachan dry cut specialist (any curly girl knows what im talking about)
2^nd love, was my hair color. Anna did an amazing job as well, she was super nice and tentative. Always offering me something to drink… Btw: they offer you water, coffee, ice coffee, cappuccino and WINE… Whatever you want, they probably could of brought me a fresh squeeze orange juice if i had asked for one, lol…
Hands down a great salon with Great customer services
Oooh btw… My cut was done by the actual owner himself Mr. Shahin which i didn’t know till mid way through my cut… I was so stoke! :)

After suffering through far too many bad hair cuts at hair salons on Long Island, I finally tried Salon Shahin in Stamford. I’m not going to lie — it’s quite pricey (I typically spend $ 300 + tip for a cut and color) — but you will get what you pay for! Gorgeous salon, very clean, excellent customer service, etc. My stylist, Trish, is amazing! She’s super sweet, does great color, and has never given me a bad cut. Because it’s so expensive, I can only afford to go every three months, but her cuts grow out beautifully as well, so I don’t feel the need to go any more frequently. If it weren’t so expensive, my rating would be a 5 for sure.

There is a reason I live in Brooklyn and come all the way to Stamford to get my hair done. Salon Shahin is simply the best.
I have been coming here for years and cannot find anything Like it in all of NYC!!!
Even though I’ve been coming here for years, I’m treated like a new customer everything time I come in. My coat is immediately taken and I’m offered an array of beverages (cappachinos, lattes, red wine). There is never a wait.
The ambience of the salon is extremely stylish, relaxing and not pretentious. It’s always spotless. The staff from the senior stylists to the students are all beautiful and «cool» if you will. The salon is definitely age friendly. I’ve seen 5 year old princesses to 90 year old customers all getting the same level of attention. My mother is 68 and doesn’t like to spend money on herself EXCEPT on her hair at Shahin.
So now let’s talk about the stylists. While they all have different talents and I can’t comment on everyone, I can highly recommend TINA and MARIE for color. I have extremely thick, curly hair that is very difficult. I discovered Trisha recently and she did WONDERS with my hair. She carefully analyzed it first and then took all the annoying bulk out of it and gave me gorgeous long layers. Melanie is also wonderful and gets thick, difficult hair.
They all give the best blowouts at the end of every cut or treatment. I love this salon and recommend it to anyone.
5 stars all the way!

The woman who works the phone for this salon needs to be fired. She’s incredibly rude, unprofessional and ignorant. I called this salon when trying to shop around to set up an appointment to get partial highlights on my hair. The woman who answered the phone acted like she didn’t have the time of day for my questions, and gave me major ‘tude when I inquired about the different levels of styling and affiliated prices. If you don’t have time for customer service, you shouldn’t be working IN customer service. Needless to say, I hung up the phone and won’t be giving this place my money!

I went to salon Shahin for the very first time a few weeks ago. Laura did my manicure and pedicure. She was great!

I went to Salon Shahin last Saturday for a skin-​clarifying facial. It was my first time there so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect aside from when I’ve read on Unilocal.I parked in the Target parking garage and walked over. It’s a very pretty salon. Clean and busy and the hair salon all takes place upstairs and down stairs is the spa end of it.
The girl at the front desk gave me a half smile and led me downstairs to have a seat while I wait. As we walked through I noticed a lot of people with the drinks they offer complimentary and I was happy to see that seeing as my appointment was early and I was dying for some coffee. I wasn’t offered anything.
The girl that did my facial (I think her name was Jackie or Jaclyn) Was nice. In my experience of getting a facial, especially if I’m there for a skin clarifying facial, I’ve been asked what my skin care routine is and maybe get to the problem of why my skin is at the point for needing a facial to clear it up– but she just asked if i was allergic to nuts and jumped right in. The whole thing was fine up until the steam machine (half the reason you go to get a skin clearing facial) was broken. so she used a hot wash clothe. and the facial was a half hour. not an hour like I had requested. I was under the impression they would acknowledge the fact that I didn’t get use from the machine and do something for me and that didn’t happen. She didn’t give me any advice for my routine she just said ‘wellp i hope your skin gets better !”
…
yeah me too…
I paided an extra $ 30 because she treated it like a custom facial as apposed to the $ 110 facial I thought I was getting.
I could have save my $ 140 and gotten a better SKIN CLEARING facial at home. my skin didnt clear. it didnt change at all. The staff was snooty as I was leaving I dont suggest going here. I will not be back. I’d rather talk to a stop sign for more glamorous entertainment and lay in a puddle on the side of the road for a stimulating skin experience. (Which honestly, does come to a very close comparison to my experience at Salon Shahin– ‘cept my version is $ 140 cheaper)
ya live and ya learn.

DO NOT GO HERE! I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE!
I have lived in Stamford for about 2 years now, I am originally from Boston. I have been to three other salons before this one and this is BY FAR THE WORST COLOR I HAVE EVER GOTTEN. DO NOT GO TO TRISHA… she is as very nice woman and I have nothing against her personally but I asked her to warm up my blondes and to do my roots. Now my roots are greyish and I am crying in bed due to how horrifying it looks!
THEN I’m assuming a trainee dried my hair, AWFUL! He left some parts wet and it was crazy frizzy in the front. When I told the manager I was not happy, it kind of felt like an OH WELL
DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR DONE HERE, IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE AND NOW I NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES!

I decided to try this salon for a mani/​pedi. I bought this deal from Groupons to try out this salon as I am new to the area, and am looking for a great place to get a good pedi. The manicure was nothing special. They didn’t do a paraffin wax which was disappointing. The hand massage was a joke.
As far the pedicure, although the massage again was a joke, she did a great job of removing any calluses that I had. My feet were very smooth afterwards. This is the first salon that I have been to that actually made my feet smooth after a pedi. I would give a rating of 4 or 5 stars if I received a better foot massage. I expected more from such an upscale salon. I will not return here for mani/​pedi, but maybe for hair in the future.

Salon Shahin, I miss you so!!! So far havent been able to find a fabulous salon in Beverly hills. Been butchered twice with the haircut, and for some reason all the colorist on this side of the world (west coast) only know one color for blonde «BLEACH».
I highly recommend SALON SHAHIN. Always made me completely gorgeous. Haircut by Jewel, Nicholas, or the master himself SHAHIN. Color master Tina. My hair always was perfect.
Try the Eyebrow threading, so awesome!
Miss all of you!!!
