Visions Academy Hairdressing

Lisa gave me a very nice haircut. She took her time and put a lot of care into cutting my hair. I showed her a picture, and she ended up giving me a really nice haircut that I was happy with, which really complimented my face and facial features. She was also attentive, asking if I wanted part of my sideburns shaved off. After the cutting, she styled my hair.

Some of my friends recommended this place to me because they’ve gotten some haircuts here and it went well. I went here because of the things my friends told and because I wanted to support a business ran by a woman of color. All of my friends who went said they were good. For me, on the other hand, I did not get what I wanted. I told the woman who worked there that I wanted just a few inches off and make sure that it was cut BELOW the shoulder. I told her four times to emphasize it. There’s no way you could have misunderstood it. I even pointed to below my shoulder so that there was no room for interpretation. I go through the haircut, hair in front of my face so I had no clue how much she was cutting it. I even asked her during the haircut if she was cutting below the shoulder. She said yes. At the end of the haircut, I look in the mirror and behold, all of my hair, each and every strand, is above my shoulder. Cried myself to sleep. I look hideous!! Would rate it below 1 star if I could.

This review is for Mia who rents a chair here. She is the best Asian hair stylist I've found in central CT, I used to go to Boston and flushing for my cuts but I don't bother with that anymore. Ask for Mia, she is usually busy on weekends if you don't have an appointment, and doesn't work on Wednesdays, so try weekdays. I think the price is $31 for short women's cut, I used to pay $45 in Boston for cuts that weren't even as flattering for my face shape (round). The shop itself is the same as most Asian hair places, not luxurious in any way but clean.

Highly recommend this barber shop! The employees are well trained and humorous. I would always get the Korean style cap hair cut and they would do it amazingly! If I could give more than 5 stars then I definitely would!

Came in with a reference photo and Mia fitted the style to flatter my face. Mia knows how to properly cut/style Asian hair. Very happy with new my hairstyle!

Asked for a cut which doesn’t even involve cutting the top of my hair and they cut my hair so short it’s going to take months to recover my hair

This place is great always love my haircut.
