Review from Danielle B.

My boyfriend had been looking for a place to get his hair cut for a few months. We tried various places in New Haven and then he found The Workshop. Everyplace prior to The Workshop cut his hair very uneven, and even thinned it out using thinning shears! Which was definitely not what he needed.
Dickie was very charismatic and managed to give my boyfriend a haircut he actually likes. Dickie even offered me a free hair appointment next week, I have a feeling I will be walking out of there with Deva products but, I have curly hair and have trouble managing it so hopefully he will be able to help.
Overall- very pleasant and entertaining time. -

I had high hopes for this place, as they're supposed to specialize in wavy and curly hair. I ended up looking like a grandma with a mullet. Worst haircut ever. It's a year later, I've only recently gotten my hair back to a style I don't totally hate, and I still cringe thinking about it. Maybe they understand other people's curly hair, but not mine. Not at all.

The Workshop is a small salon in New Haven. Dickie and his assistant Nancy were friendly and I found him to have an enchanting personality. He is a certified curl consultant by Devachan in NYC and follows their way of cutting curly hair. The cut was acceptable, not amazing. But I will warn you, unless you are committed to using Devachan's line of hair products, or would like to be, I recommend you steer clear of this salon. Dickie was adamant about it being absolutely necessary to use these products and he was incredibly pushy about purchasing them. I did buy a couple and found them to be overpriced, mediocre and sort of smelled like sweet garbage. $18 for an 8 oz bottle of gel?!? Of which you have to use pretty much half the bottle in one hair styling because that is the Devachan way.
They also use a ton of paper towels to scrunch the water out of your hair which isn't very environmentally friendly. -

I've been a customer of Dickie's for years- and the DevaChan way of curly hair care has seriously changed my mane from frizzy to healthy curls- yay! I may be biased, but I think the best curly cuts are at The Workshop.
His pricing for the DevaChan products is actually the lowest in New Haven- besides, you don't need lots of conditioner *after* your hair has been spared the brush and fed with good conditioner for a while. It takes me many months to use up a bottle of shampoo now, and conditioner lasts a while too.
And good green news- he has switched from paper towels to microfiber towels for blotting hair dry!
