Don't Believe ANY Bad Reviews!. After searching online, I found Salon Medusa was rated Best Of by the Hartford Advocate 6 years in a row. Since I decided to cut my LONG hair into a pixie cut, I wanted to make sure I went somewhere good. Unfortunately, I read some of these reviews and got nervous about having Robert as my stylist. I called them back and told them frankly what I had read and why I was concerned. The woman I spoke to was very understanding and told me that I could come in and if I was nervous or uncomfortable, I could reschedule with someone else, no problem.

I went in and Robert was WONDERFUL. Everyone there was. He didn't know exactly what I was talking about style-wise, so I showed him pictures I had brought, and another stylist showed him one she found in a magazine. He was very warm and friendly and even coaxed me through the initial "snip" to cut off my long ponytail. The entire time, he talked to me about what he was doing, and he was a perfectionist! Trimming and measuring until it was perfect. I have never been so happy with a haircut! Everyone at the salon was commenting on it, and since leaving all of my friends and family are floored. I cannot recommend this salon highly enough and I INSIST that you don't believe the bad reviews from a couple of people. Robert is a phenomenal talent and a very warm guy.

Best cut and color in Hartford County. I have spent 9 years looking for a hairstylist that can cut my naturally curly hair to where I don't look like bozo the clown...my search is over! Nicole at Salon Medusa does it right every time. My experience started as a mention by a friend to check it out, I live across the river and made the trip in a desperate attempt to tame my mane. It is now a treat to drive over to the salon, I can grab a bite in West Hartford Center, then get my haircut and enjoy the fantastic chocolates that are always laying around the salon. My color experience there has been great Nicole does a great job meeting my needs and always offers great ideas. Would pass the recommendation on to other friends.

Great Salon, Great Stylists, Great Atmosphere!!!. I have been going to Salon Medusa since it first opened. I feel that the salon is welcoming and inviting. Each time I walk through the doors, I am greeted with warm hospitality. When I go to a salon, I want it to be a lasting experience. A place where I can get my hair cut, colored and enjoy pleasant conversation. I don?t want to be known as just another client. At Medusa?s, many of the stylists acknowledge me by name which makes me feel important. I love that every time I walk in there is a new decor. Walking into Salon Medusa makes me feel like I am in NY without the NY prices.

"The Best In Hartford" for a reason!. I have been getting my hair cut and colored at Salon Medusa since the day they opened their doors! . I travel 1.5 hours every month from western MA just to get my hair done! It is CHIC, soothing, elegant, professional and fun! The talent in this salon is unbelievable! ALL the stylist are amazing and leave their clients feeling like they have just gotten the hair experience of their lives! I have NEVER seen anyone leave unhappy. The owners ( Steven & Sandro ), are a force to be reckoned with. This powerhouse duo have amazing personality and talent! They will make your experience so gratifying that you will never want to leave and will always look forward to coming back! My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the entire staff of Salon Medusa for giving me great hair and a monthly treat to look forward to!

best hair salon. I love Salon Medusa...I have been to MANY salons over many years, none have kept me as a client, until now. Not only do I get a great haircut, but I always have a fun experience. Steven is wonderful and has taught me how to do my hair...I can style it myself at home and look like I came from the salon! My cut and color is ALWAYS perfect, never faultering. I have, and will keep, reccommending Salon Medusa to friends and family. You should not hesitate to call, the sooner you do, the quicker and luckier you will be to call yourself one of thier clients

Fun and Fabulous. I have been seeing Steven at salon Medusa since he opened the shop as it was the only place I would trust to cut my hair outside of NYC. Never have I been dissatisfied with this decision. My sister even waits to get her hair cut until she flies in for a visit from Chicago as she has not found anyone whom she likes in Chicago to cut and style her hair. Steven's styling ability is consistent and careful and he does exactly what is asked even if he may think there are better options for the client. I have also seen him develop looks for people whom have no idea what they want (including me and my sister in the past) and those clients have always been pleased. The atmosphere is a vibrant, youthful, party atmosphere designed to promote creativity. It's always an event where you leave feeling beautiful. I will continue to recommend.

Wow I love Salon Medusa!. I'm shocked at some of these reviews. I guess it might depend on the stylist you got, but I've gone to several and they've all been awesome. Working with Steven and Sandro on a great style is really a wonderful experience. Great styles, great colors, great products. What they have done with their salon is fantastic! It is so fun and friendly. I've never had a bad experience in there. And I've seen several local "celebraties" in there, as well. Turn on channel 30 in the evening if you want to see some examples of their work, including Eva's. If you can't get in with Steven or Sandro, try Lori, Lena, Nicole, Stacy or even Eva. The other person must've gotten her on a bad day or something. I won't go anywhere else!

interesting decor- unprofessional staff. You basically feel like the staff, especially the owners, are bashing you the second you walk out b/c they just spent the entire time tellling you about previous clients.

Pros and Cons. Salon Medusa is aesthetically pleasing and the front desk staff are always friendly when you walk in. However, I did not have pleasant experiences with Eva. She came across as rude and unprofessional at times. Her haircuts aren't bad, but I wouldn't call them good either, and she literally doesn't talk to me the entire time, which feels awkward. She also made a comment that left me wondering if she was making fun of my hairstyle and that's not something a customer should have to wonder about. She also spends most of the time talking to the stylist next to her, which made me feel more like an eavesdropper then a costumer. The time felt rushed and I was juggled with other clients. Overall, I would not recommend to a friend, but I have seen other people leaving the salon with gorgeous cuts as well.

apathetic stylist. I have decided not to go back to Robert at Salon Medusa. He cut my hair on several occasions and results were inconsistent -- sometimes it looked great and sometimes not so great. I never felt like he listened or cared about what I wanted. A perfectionist he is not and he neglected to take the time to check over the finished product, preferring to get me out the door. Robert exhibits little passion for his work.
