What a beautiful salon and the renovations are beyond gorgeous! Everytime I am in the salon I feel so welcomed and taken care of! Janelle is a fabulous stylist, I always take her recommendations and walk out feeling like a million bucks! Can't wait for my next appointment!

Ughhhh - I have been sitting on this review for almost 2 weeks. I don't really love coming down on small local businesses - someone's livelihood - but seriously. This was one of my worst haircuts. I will not be calling the specific stylist out in this review, but if you are new to this salon - I'd recommend possibly scheduling a visit first and maybe speaking with the owner before just scheduling an appt with a new stylist. I had a bit of a sour taste in my mouth the day I called to schedule my initial appt. I should have listened to my gut but then I thought I was being too sensitive so rode it out. A little background - my sister had previously posted on Southington talks asking about best salons in the area. Many fine folks recommended The Color Bar. They even gave names of stylists they enjoyed (my fault for not specifically selecting one of the actual recommendations - Megan and Janelle were mentioned). So anyway - I called on a Sat late morning. Told whomever answered the phone that I was somewhat new to the area and was looking for a new hairstylist. The very first thing she says is 'you're not expecting to come in today???' Of course I'm not, I explain - was just looking to schedule an appt. I then explained that my hair is very long, coarse and wavy and can be difficult to cut. She literally sounded annoyed that I was explaining this to her. She gives me an appt for later that week. I do love that they have a couple later weeknight evenings, which works great for my schedule. Now - silly me - I TRUST that after stating my hair can be difficult to cut - she'd take that into consideration. But that clearly did not happen. I get to the salon - which apparently was recently renovated but honestly - it's more industrious (drop ceilings and fluorescent 'office style' lights). You checkout in the back corner of the salon. I walk into this place I've never been to and am just standing at the front door. It wasn't that long before someone looked up from their chair and asked who I was there to see. But it was awkward. The stylist was super sweet. On the younger side. Engaging but not too much. My hair was down to my waist. I told her I wanted 3 inches taken off. I need to keep it long for the weight and I wear it up often. I started to panic a tiny bit when she spun the chair and I saw how much she cut off (6 inches). Thank God my hair was so long - it's still just above the bottom of my shoulder blades but OMG - it was cut SO unevenly. My mom came over the next day and had to actually use kitchen shears to try to cut off some of the longer pieces to straighten it out. It was pretty horrible. Ironically - my sister saw Britney the next night and she LOVED her hair. Had an amazing experience. Britney even told my sister she'd fix my hair at no cost, which was incredibly sweet of her. I seriously don't want ANYMORE taken off so I'm just gonna ride it out for a few months and then get it trimmed somewhere else. I'm not sure who answered the phone but shame on her - first for her attitude and stand-offish first introduction to the salon but more-so for scheduling me with the stylist she did. Who clearly does NOT know how to handle long, wavy, course, super thick hair. Will not be back.

For my first haircut in 1.5 years I went to a salon where my friend got an amazing haircut. I'm so glad I did. This place is terrific. Everything you want in a salon. Friendly stylists, gorgeous decor, and a relaxing experience. I have fine hair that has to be razor cut to curl and look full. Britney did a fantastic job. I walked out feeling ten times prettier than when I walked in. The salon is clean and big so it's easy to socially distance inside. They salon makes a point of scheduling so that there's plenty of space between customers. I had to cancel my appointment because of a pet emergency. My puppy needed an ultrasound and the vet hospital was booked up so we had to go to emergency room and hope to be seen. We got in by late morning and I called to see if the salon still had my original appointment open. They didn't but Britney fit me in that day right before the holiday weekend. I am so excited for my next appointment--I plan to get highlights with Britney. Thank you for being so wonderful and kind. I'll be sending my friends here too!

Upscale decor really makes you feel pampered just walking thru the door... all the women are super friendly and you cant go wrong when choosing a stylist... ive referred quite a few people here and always get raving reviews back...choose the color bar you won't regret it!!!

Went in for a complete hair makeover. Color and cut my long hair short! It came out beautiful. Have not been to a salon in ages. I always cut my own curls. My hair was a mess , my color was a mess. The hairdresser Brittany was amazing!!! I'm really happy with the results. The salon is beautiful, clean, the chairs/stations are spaced more than 6 feet apart( no worries). Everyone in there was very friendly. I would totally recommend this place.

Janelle is AMAZING! Had no idea how to go blonde or even what blonde I wanted. Janelle has always been honest with the process, always told me what she was going to do and what products she was using. If I didn't know what I wanted, Janelle knew what it was I wanted haha! All the girls there are brilliant and amazing hairstylist. Clean, safe, decor savy environment.
