STUDIO J. by Julia Laviero in Avon, CT

It's really hard to review stuff that you love. You want to make sure people reading REALLY understand what is so great and why they should go there. That's the trouble I'm having writing a review for Wintre.

I've been getting my hair done by her for about 3 years, and it's the only time in my life I haven't gone home teary over haircuts.

Wintre has got such an eye for what looks great based on your face shape, and she's not afraid to be real with you and suggest stuff that would be more flattering to you. She's also got an impeccable sense for color and style.

I'm moving to NY and won't be able to go back to her on the reg, so I want either A. Everyone reading this to convince her to come with me or B. For everyone reading this to be as happy as I have been with my haircuts.

If you want a gal who knows her stuff, is super funny and will be real with you- go here and ask for Wintre, best hair cut decision I've made!

Julia is amazing! She took 6 dead inches off my drab winter look, boosted my blonde highlights, and now I'm headed into spring with an awesome sassy lob! Go visit!!

After my long time hairdresser moved out of state I had to find someone new to cut my very long hair. I came to Sejour based on yelp reviews, and walked away really disappointed after spending $$$. I've waited a week to write this review to see if I could get used to it, and instead I am just disappointed every time I look in the mirror. I made the appt for partial highlights and a haircut. I wanted natural looking highlights to hide with the occasional premature grays, and instead walked out with the entire top of the front of my hair a lighter shade than the rest of my brunette color and nearly in tears. The brassiness is finally toning down a week later. The cut is dull and really doesn't do anything to flatter me, with the length, or the shape. I spent $$$ and now feel like I just have to wait for it to grow out to go somewhere else to find someone to fix it.

I love my new hair! Wintre did an amazing job listening to me and coming up with suggestions of her own. She did a great job and I can't imagine going anywhere else now. thanks Wintre!

My kids called it "space age" and it fit well into last night's plans. Thanks so much!

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write a review. I started going to Sejour when they were more or less starting out. They had a few reviews on Yelp that were positive and they were close by, which was great for me. I have to say that it is the best salon I've ever been to and the people are AMAZING. I went there originally to get my nails done. I started with Sam, who is great. She also did waxing, so she became my go to for that. In the midst of all this, I was having hair issues and then I started going to Anne for certain things. Over time, I've just gotten to know all of them really well. When Sam went on to do other things, Maria just sort of slipped into the role and does an amazing job as well.

Rachel, the owner, is wonderful, and just has a knack for hiring good people that are nice and most importantly talented. I have recommended them to friends on a regular basis- and my friends rave about them. It's a nice place filled with unpretentious people.

If you are in the area, stop by Sejour. You will not be disappointed. There's a reason they have so many five star reviews.
