All Dolled Up — Attraction in Southington

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley Rios (IG: @_watchmepaint) & All Dolled Up are Amazing!

I recently visited Ashley (IG: @_watchmepaint) at All Dolled Up, and she totally nailed it! A colleague recommended her after seeing how bummed I was about my previous color, and knowing Ashley's won awards for reds, I decided to give her a shot.

All Dolled Up is super cute, warm, and has a fun, welcoming vibe. I had a quick 15-minute consultation with Ashley before my appointment, which was great. We chatted about what I wanted—specifically, going back to the natural red I had a few years ago. She really listened and made sure we were on the same page.

During the appointment, Ashley worked her magic. She lifted my dark brown color and turned it into the perfect red—exactly what I was hoping for and what my last stylist just couldn’t get right. The results were absolutely worth it. Plus, the salon has the most comfortable hair-washing sinks ever—no neck pain! (Seriously - go just for the sinks!)

On top of being an amazing stylist, Ashley is such a genuine person—down-to-earth, kind, caring, funny, and incredibly honest. She’s a great communicator and really cares about her clients. For example, when I asked for “Zooey Deschanel thick bangs”, Ashley was upfront and told me she wasn’t 100% sure how since my bangs were already full. Instead of guessing, she consulted a colleague who’s an expert in that area and said she’d be ready for the next appointment to give me the thickest bangs in CT! I was so touched by her honesty and commitment to learning—it shows how much she values ongoing education to give her clients the best results.

✨If you're looking for a stylist who gets it and knows how to deliver, I highly recommend Ashley (IG: @_watchmepaint). Want to see the amazing transformation she gave me? Check out her September 4,...

Jen & Carly!!!! When I tell you these are some of the most talented woman I have ever met.

Immediately I was greeted at my trial with warm smiles and open arms - they listened to every thought I had and answered all of my questions with incredibly thoughtful and detailed answers (to say they know their stuff is an understatement). Jen was super knowledgeable about skin and was able to guide me to working on how to get the best skin for my wedding in such easy way at home! Carly saw a few of my inspo hair photos and almost immediately created something of literal dreams. I left my trial feeling the most beautiful I had ever felt.

Wedding day was a WHOLE different story - these woman brought a VIBE. The entire morning was filled with laughter and love. Carly & Jen made a point to make everyone feel so beautiful and special. So much so that one of my bridesmaids loved Jen’s makeup work so much that Jen graciously added her to list last minute and made her feel just as special as the rest.

Now for my brides reading this - Jen takes care of you. As I got ready Jen regularly checked in, making sure I was eating and drinking water. In her chair she gave me the most incredible facial/neck massage prior to applying any makeup and truly just gave me a minute to relax and take it all in. The makeup application itself was FLAWLESS - the tips she gave worked and you could visually tell a difference. She is an absolute angel - having her & Carly on my wedding day is something I will never forget & will forever be grateful for.

Special shout out to Kelly who was always incredible at communicating in a very timely fashion and always answering my millions of questions with such thought...

I just wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU! About two weeks ago I reached out to you guys requesting a haircut and color ( Mind you it was right in the middle of Christmas and New Years ) You girls got back to me so promptly and most importantly - you were able to fit me in with your stylist Olivia ( Freaking LOVE her ) When I got to the salon I instantly felt calm. Call me crazy but sometimes going to a hair cut causes me a great deal of anxiety. I never felt heard and I always feel as if the stylist does what she thinks would look good rather than what I would feel confident with. THIS was NOT the case with you girls! Olivia welcomed me with open arms and really took the time to listen to what I was wanting. She expressed to me what she would do and even took the time to walk me through her process ( THIS never happens at other salons) . I was in the studio for three hours and it felt like a dream. I was able to actually relax, chat with Olivia and be pampered! OH and my hair has never LOOKED better ( seriously) This is the first time in a REALLY long time that I actually felt heard and understood when getting my hair done! I booked with Oliva for April and can hardly wait to have her work her magic again! Thank you from the bottom of my heart- it was truly a wonderful experience!

OH- PS your entire staff is amazing! Everyone said Hi and had such a cheerful smile on their faces! Such great energy...
