North Haven, CT Beauty and Salons

Salon Zurell’s stylists start each haircut with an in-depth consultation, and end it with a styling lesson. Using this one-on-one approach, the staff imparts unparalleled wisdom during salon services, which include conditioning treatments, highlights, and perms. The salon also offers spa treatments such as waxing, mani-pedis, and facials performed with organic Éminence products that are completely free of harmful chemicals, additives, and other ingredients that will make dolphins cry.

Led by Dr. Arnold Rivera and PA-C Scott Callahan, Dolce Vida Medical Spa's skilled staff performs high-tech skin and body rejuvenations alongside relaxing spa treatments. Light-based body-sculpting sessions, IPL skincare, and injectable solutions such as Dysport and Radiesse help patrons remain youthful without wearing their senior-class photo as a mask. Drawing from an apothecary of high-end skincare products from Éminence, SkinTherapeutic, and Revision Skin Care, aestheticians nurture façades with specialized masks, and massage therapists ease tension from torsos with hot stones, lava shells, frozen oven mitts, or bare hands.

Element Six Salon & Spa embraces beautiful geometry. Inside, white mod-style chairs and a desk crisscrossed with white lines announce Element Six’s crisp, modern aesthetic. Panes of mottled glass stand behind the reception area, flanking the entrance to the styling floor, and rectangles of abstract art decorate the walls.

There's an open, minimalist vibe to the décor, one that complements the neat and meticulous work of the staff. Don't be fooled, however—just because the salon is tidy, doesn't mean that its crew can't give your 'do an eye-catching edge.

The team uses products by brands such as Redken and Goldwell to create fresh looks, consulting with clients throughout the appointment to pin down the desired aesthetic. They can imbue strands with color through single-process treatments and highlights, or arrange hair into a nuanced updo. Their bridal services encompass hair and makeup for wedding-party members, and even hair styling for the flower girl, who would otherwise just wear a wig made of AstroTurf. They further groom clients with facial waxing and mani-pedis.

Dean and Lisa Rodrigue always talked about opening their own salon. In 2010, they took the leap and founded Couture Salon, a chic hair salon with dark hardwood floors and upscale touches like brocade accent walls. Since opening they business, they’ve sharpened their hair-styling skills and broadened their service menu. In addition to waxing and spray-tan treatments, they offer facials and eyelash extensions. Couture Salon stays open until 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays to accommodate the moon if it needs a haircut and those with busy work schedules.

For more than 20 years, owner Michael Marino and his staff of stylists have colored, cut, and texturized male and female strands using Paul Mitchell products. In addition to hair services, the salon staff performs manicures and pedicures at the nail station and eyebrow shaping in a blue room dubbed the Brow Bar. Before appointments, clients can lounge on a window seat covered in plush embroidered cushions while counting the many sparkling square tiles covering the reception desk. A refreshment station housed inside a modern, bright-green cabinet with silver embellishments displays coffee and tea on a daily basis, and complimentary wine and appetizers are served every Thursday night.

Dedicated to relieving the hair-loss woes of men and women alike, Invisions’ medical team fertilizes scalps with methods that combine tried-and-true pharmaceutical treatments with cutting-edge medical technologies. Alongside surgical transplants and chemical solutions such as Rogaine, the specialists provide nonsurgical replacement pompadours and high-tech, low-temperature laser treatments.
