As I arrived at Blades Salon in Wethersfield I was cheerfully greeted by reception staff. I promptly was introduced to my stylist Jay (also owner) who made me feel comfortable and eased my nervousness. Looked over my consultation questionaire and we ...discussed my expectations and his recommendations. As he prepped my color, I had an opportunity to gaze at the tastefully decorated Victorian style surroundings. Jay began by explaining and educating me in the transformation that was to take place. I felt very pampered and couldn't wait to see the results of my highlights and hair cut. I was not disappointed. I can say it was the best cut and color I had in a long tme. Upon leaving I received a complimentary top of the line tote of hair products used that day on my hair. On my second appointment I of course didn't expect the VIP treatment I received on my first visit. Boy was I wrong! Same friendliness, professionalism and fresh new hair style comb out. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who is looking for a pampered, friendly, and diversified hair style and color that is tailored to you. Thanks Jay and Staff!! Rose B.

Blades is recommended by word of mouth. Here's my recommendation , don't. I got two botched jobs from their stylist that's one step above junior stylist. She'd been there a long time and is well liked by the staff. The haircuts were perfect until the last one , which was uneven. Her coloring technique is on par with cost cutter's. I booked for cut and color on my first visit. Four weeks prior my hair was colored from another salon , so she said my hair can't be colored again , she recommended highlights. Next visit I went with the highlights. It looked terrible! I am a brunette and the highlights were brassy and all over the of of my head! Also she left 8 weeks of gray roots untouched. In hindsight I thought it was odd that she didn't get swatches and do better consulting. I am sick of these high end salons leaving us seething! I was very pleasant and non threatening through this whole ordeal. I didn't complain to the owner ( I will after this!) and gave Marjorie the benefit of the doubt. It seems she's only interested in selling services and products. Thanks , but no thanks!

Got a GC for a x amount of dollars, and had a pedicure, which I freacked out, because how could that bucket be sanitary. The women rushed threw me I felt. The manicure was so-so. The worst part was my bikini wax. Oh my god, I was bruised for a week! I called the place and they never returned my phone call. I was very upset. I called the place I normally go to Parisians,and she told me to come in and she looked at it and gave me some stuff to put on it. She said the wax was to hot. I'm not excepting any more GC to any other place again. I won't do it.

If I had only one hair left on my head, I would go to Blades feeling certain that I would come out looking like a princess. The entire staff - from stylists to students - is intimately involved in making clients feel pampered and cared for. I consider the hair stylists, particularly Jay, nothing short of gifted professionally, but it is even more important to mention how warm and welcoming they are to all clients, Jay and his "people" opened the salon to my daughter and her bridesmaids on a beautiful summer Sunday and made everyone feel that they had no desire to be anywhere else. I had used another stylist for 20 years, and was afraid to change for fear of having someone butcher my already less than perfect hair. When I finally worked up the courage to visit Jay at Blades four years ago, I got not only the best haircut of my life, but also the most relaxing and rewarding salon visit. It's no accident that the decor is Victorian, because the people at Blades treat their customers like royalty. Cancel your appointments anywhere else and try Blades for color, cuts, makeup, skin care and hair enhancement. After years of feeling like a follicular failure, I now consider myself a triumph of the tresses.

Recently, I had an appointment for a consultation for possibly getting some Jessica Simpson Clip In Extensions. Since I didn't want to chance it and simply buy them off the internet, I decided to see if someone could help me with what they were supposed to look like. Michael at Blades was so great! He helped me pick out the color and the length of the extensions and went over every differerent possible look with me! He even showed me how to style my hair when the extensions were in so it would look more glamorous! He was so nice and patient and I really appreciated it! I bought the extensions right on the spot, even though I could have saved 15% online! Everytime I've called Blades, the receptionists have been so friendly and everyone there seems to really love what they do. I definitely plan on returning!
