Madison Avenue East is a hair salon in Old Saybrook, CT, open since July 2012. It is the eastern half of Madison Avenue Salons, a shoreline business that has been cutting and coloring hair since 1980.
This salon does one thing, and it does it seriously. There is no nail bar in the back and no treatment room down the hall — just chairs, a color bar, and stylists whose whole day is hair. Nearly everything that happens in this room is color or cutting, and that focus is the point rather than a limitation.
If there is a single thing this salon is known for, it is color. Base color, grey coverage, root work, gloss and toner account for a larger share of what we do here than at any other salon we run. Clients who have spent years chasing a consistent shade tend to stop chasing once they land in one of these chairs.
The second thing is smoothing. Our keratin treatments have become the service clients drive furthest for — it is our highest-value appointment and, for the right head of hair, the one that changes a morning routine completely. Frizz that has fought a hairdryer every summer for a decade simply stops fighting.
We serve Old Saybrook, Westbrook, Essex, Old Lyme and the towns up the river valley, and we are a short trip from the Old Saybrook train station.
Base color, grey coverage, root touch-ups, gloss and toner, and corrective work. The largest single service we perform.
Full and partial foils, babylights, dimension and lived-in blonde. Balayage and hand-painted work available on request.
Frizz control and dramatically shorter blow-dry time. Our signature service and the one clients travel for.
Women’s cuts, men’s and boys’ cuts, blowouts and styling are all part of the regular menu here. Dedicated pages for each are on the way.
The salon is close to most of what Old Saybrook is known for, so an appointment fits neatly around lunch, a show or an afternoon at the water.
A keratin appointment runs long by nature, so more than a few clients make a day of it and stay for dinner on Main Street afterward.
More than a decade serving the eastern shoreline.
A shoreline business operating since 1980.
With ongoing training in smoothing and color technique.
Not sure whether keratin is right for your hair? Come in for a consultation first — no charge, no pressure.
Madison Avenue East opened in July 2012 and has been our Old Saybrook salon ever since. It is the eastern half of Madison Avenue Salons, a shoreline business that has operated since 1980.
A keratin treatment is a smoothing service that coats the hair shaft to reduce frizz and cut blow-dry time dramatically. Most clients see results lasting roughly three to five months, depending on hair type and how often it is washed.
It suits thick, coarse or naturally curly hair best, and it is worth a consultation first — the treatment relaxes texture, so it is not the right call for everyone.
No. Madison Avenue East is a hair salon. Our spa services — facials, nails, waxing and massage — are all offered at our Madison location, about twenty minutes west along the shoreline.
Yes. Color is the majority of what happens in this salon on any given day — base color, grey coverage, foils, toner and corrective work. If you are looking for a colorist on the eastern shoreline, this is what we do most.
