The Mane Room Hair & Body

I went from darker blonde, to light blonde and all the way back to a chocolate brown with a few highlights. None of these changes are easy to make, and Joseph did each one flawlessly. (The quality of the color was better than a top NYC salon I had previously gone to.) Can’t recommend the place enough; they’re thorough yet timely and always a pleasure to be around when you’re in the chair getting a cut, color or highlights. Also, can’t beat their prices!

The Mane Room is such a unique salon. From walking in to be greeted by friendly staff to walking out with complete satisfaction, its an amazing experience from beginning to the end. My sister and I recently had an awful experience at La La Lux in Providence and highly regret ever making an appointment. When we needed a glimpse of hope, our friends recommended Joe at The Mane Room.
From the moment I walked in, Joe was ready. What was amazing about an appointment here verses other places is that Joe always works with an assistant, ensuring that either of them were always by your side throughout the entire process. Joe explained every step that he made and why he was making them, showing me that he truly knew his craft.
Above all, Joe and his staff were honest. Often when people go for a color, they come with photos to show their stylist of results they desire. Too often, the stylist says that they can produce it. What I really valued in Joe as a professional, when i brought in photos, was that he explained how the girl in the photo most likely got to her color, and how that color would be unrealistic for my hair without significant damage. The health of your hair is ultimately the customers first priority, and from my experience, is also his. My sister and I are forever clients of Joe’s. Great experience.

I cannot explain how wonderful my experience was at the Mane Room. I have been searching for a new hair salon since I moved to New Haven this summer that can do excellent color. This is the place.
I was recommended to see Joe and if you are looking for a great color. I recommend you do the same. He is truly a wonderful person and so knowledgable with color. He took one look at my hair and knew exactly what it needed to really stand out!
Another incredible thing is that he was able to cut, color and dry my hair in an hour. Which frankly is unheard of. The fact I can go in a little late to work with a great new head of hair is incredible.
I will say the only possible con is the price. Definitely a bit more expensive of a salon. But the way I look at it — with hair you get what you pay for.
Ultimately, go to the Mane Room for your next hair appointment. You won’t regret it.

Formerly known as JoBella, this place may have changed ownership, but I still face the same problems. Their appointments are never on time, and I always have to wait 15 – 20 minutes. Combined with these waits every time, especially to get a 5-​minute job (eyebrow threading) done is always a hassle, and the fact that it takes $ 15, which seems steep compared to other places, I only go to this place when I absolutely need to. However, Nirali, who does the threading is absolutely fantastic and always does a great job, so would highly recommend her.

I was in town for a wedding and was in desperate need for a cut and color. I ended up with Kate who was amazing. She really listened to what my usysally stylist does, asked thoughtful questions, and executed the cut and color perfectly. She was also really nice. It was an overall great experience with her. I’m sad I can’t have her as my regular stylist!

I highly recommend The Mane Room Hair & Body!
There isn’t a hair salon or a barber that I haven’t been to in the New Haven area. After 7 yeas of salon-​hopping a friend recommend The Mane Room and hairstylist extraordinaire Joseph Moscato!
Jo is awesome at what he does. He has a great eye for what will look good on you and somehow manages to make your haircut look fresh and exciting every single time. In fact, I don’t even tell him what to do; I simply sit in his chair and let him work his magic. Before going to Jo, no one ever complimented me on my hair. Now, I get compliments on my hair all the time.
Every time I go in for a haircut I meet some of his other clients and all of them love Jo too. He even has clients that moved to Boston coming back specifically for a haircut and/​or color etc. His prices are very reasonable and he even offers a free clean up in-​between cuts.
Over all The Mane Room is very cheerful place. Going in for a haircut is always fun. The staff are all very friendly and courteous. The ambiance and décor are welcoming. You are bound to having a great time and the best hair cut EVER!

When you first enter The Mane Room, get ready for an adventure! Not only will you walk out with a fabulous do, you will be best friends with Joe by the end.
Hands down, Joe is… incredible at what he does. He gave me highlights (my first time ever!) and it looks absolutely amazing! I asked for something not too subtle, but not too explosive and he got it right the first time. He is so fun to talk to and makes you feel right at home.
The whole experience was a blast from the music to the rest of his colleagues, but the highlight of the day was definitely my hair (Get it? Highlight).
