Where to go for the perfect haircut, color and price:

I’d been putting it off for long enough. It was time for a haircut and I needed a change. I always get bored with my hair and regularly find myself in search of a new style. Now, a lot of us have the perfect place to go at home but what about at school? I decided to take a ride around Hamden in search of the perfect salon. I didn’t want a surprise from some person who mastered their cutting skills in kindergarten. I already had one of those in middle school when the boy sitting behind me tried to scare me by pretending to cut my hair and then actually did. Let’s just say, I wasn’t very happy.

I was surprised by the pricing of the local salons and how rude their employees can be when a college student walks in. I’m not wearing anything trashy or inappropriate, and I go to Quinnipiac. In my opinion, we go to a pretty well looked upon school and our students maintain a positive image. I didn’t hesitate turning on my heels as they asked if I wanted my hair done from them. I do not handle rude people well.

Then there was Eddie. A guy who claims he makes “the best coffee” and you know what? It’s true. Eddie owns the salon, Hair on Broadway at 3450 Whitney Ave. If you’ve found yourself waiting at the traffic light coming from North Lot, you’ve probably noticed his salon at the top of the hill. Eddie has some of the best prices in town and a great personality to match. I look forward my hair done and having a great chat with Eddie while I’m there. He really takes care of his customers and somehow seems to remember what’s going on in my life even with all of his other customers. Eddie also has a lot of experience. He is a Rusk Design Force member who teaches new hairdressers how to cut, color and style and has been involved in many international hair shows. Plus, he has the best massage chair to relax in while you’re under the dryer…who wouldn’t love that? Here’s the best part: if you’re a first time customer you get 50% off a cut or color. Maybe it’s time for a little change. I know I always love to.
Check out Eddie and his salon for yourself!

Happy cuts! <3T
