hair straightening

Angie's professional expertise transformed my hair color from dull, dry, and brassy to bright, blonde, and beyond breathtaking, but it also it transformed my total confidence right from my first appointment! The atmosphere was classy and sophisticated, yet relaxing and peaceful! A perfect experience, and a perfect result!

Angie's education in the field shines through each and every visit -- she is well versed in the science of color and hair care and happy to share her knowledge with her clients. Her professionalism in her work is always evident. She loves her work and it shows.

I have been trusting AK Haircolor & Design with my hair for the past seven years and every seven weeks. I am impressed again and again with how my hair is cared for. You will not find another salon that knows color and style like AK Haircolor & Design.

I have been a consistent client of A.K. Haircolor & Design for many years. I’m truly thankful that I was referred to this amazing salon and to the talented Angela Kirk and her experience in the art of coloring.

I have been a client of Angie's since before she opened AK Haircolor & Design. The best description of all my experiences with AK Haircolor & Design is "Professional and Personal care with an artistic flair."

I love going to AK Haircolor & Design. The environment is beautiful and very professional! They know hair and color and their outstanding training shows in what they can do with hair like mine that needs extra care! They make certain that I'm pleased and offer sound advice about hair products as well.

I am so impressed by the talent of all the stylists at AK Haircolor & Design. I have been going to AK Haircolor for years and would not trade my stylist if I was paid. The atmosphere is great and all the stylists are extremely friendly. The wonderful thing about AK Haircolor is you are not treated as another number sitting in the chair but treated like the first client of the day happy to see me with a smile on their face. I love walking into a place and being greeted with a big smile it makes my day that much better. Not only is the experience great, but I have never had so many compliments on my hair cut or color since being with you. Thank you AK Haircolor & Design for all that you do for your clients - We appreciate you!

Our whole family loves AK Haircolor & Design! My two daughters and I were looking for a new salon, after our long-term hairdresser moved away and we were fortunate enough to find AK. The stylists at AK Haircolor love what they do, and are very attentive and detail-oriented; the atmosphere at AK is cheerful and upbeat (and the music is great!). Visiting AK Haircolor is like visiting a spa.....whether we’re getting color, a perm, waxing, or cuts and styling.......we leave feeling pampered and happy!

This salon’s hair care knowledge has transformed my dull, thin and damaged hair into a beautiful and healthy look. I live about one hour away and refuse to go anywhere else. It’s worth the drive!

I always know that when I leave AK Hair Salon my hair will be beautiful. Angie and her team are never inconsistent. They listen, and they understand hair. They understand my hair. I always leave the AK Hair Salon feeling beautiful.I get so many compliments on my hair. Angie and her team color and cut my hair so that it is somehow professional, classy, and sexy!

Angie loves her job. She loves hair. She loves to color it. She loves to cut it. She loves to understand what her customers want and how she can give that to each one of them. It is a total pleasure to go to AK Hair Salon. The ambiance at AK Hair Salon is wonderful. It’s funky and fancy. Angie and her team treat their customers like royalty!

I've benefited from Angie's expertise; I only wish I had found her sooner! The addition of Heather to the salon complements Angie's professionalism as she too has a wealth of experience and eye for great design.

I get compliments on my highlights all the time. My hair is healthy and very natural-looking because of her knowledge and experience. When I travel back and forth to Florida, I make sure to schedule my travel plans around my hair appointments.

My husband and I just moved to the Bangor area last summer from South Florida and I was looking for a competent hair stylist to be as good as the stylist I had in Florida. I found someone reputable who referred me to AK Haircolor & Design in Hamden. The owner, Angie, is very well known and is the only board certified hair colorist in the Bangor area. I made an appointment and have been so happy with the results! My cut and color works, my husband loves my hair and the environment is relaxing and pleasant. What a great discovery!

I receive many compliments on my hair, and am often asked who colors and styles it. I am happy to recommend AK Haircolor & Design because of the wonderful service, experience and expertise they provide to their customers!

I've been a client of AK Haircolor & Design for over 10 years and can't imagine anyone else doing my hair. Their expertise in coloring has made my dull hair color come to life. I get so many compliments on my hair and I'm so proud to say Angie is the best!

People ask me often where I get my hair done and I’m proud to say A.K. Haircolor & Design. Their professional mannerism and trendy salon is perfect for everyone!

I was referred to AK Haircolor & Design just after I relocated to Maine. I've always been very picky about who touches my hair and was looking for "the best" in the area. Well, lucky me... I found her! This salon does great hair, but they are friendly and warm. I recommend AK Haircolor & Design to anyone who's looking to have the best looking hair in Bangor.

1 year ago I came here from the DC area. I brought with me a certain level of expectation for my stylist. Before finding Angie, I visited 3 other salons in the Bangor area, all of whom disappointed me with their undelivered promises, lack of professionalism and unwillingness to listen. Upon my first visit with Angie, listened as I explained that I knew my hair was blond, but my DC stylists had always told me I had "a lot of red" in my color. Angie explained that my combination of blond hair and green eyes make a genetic combination that if not treated properly result in that horrible brassy look. Angie covered my incoming gray, gave me the cool blond I yearned for and brought out my natural curls. I wouldn't even consider going to anyone else. This fall, I decided that I trusted Angie so much that for the first time in my 56 years, I really did go all red and had Angie give me copper locks along with a short pixie doo. It looks more natural on me than my natural blond! I love this woman.

"Angie is very welcoming and professional; she exudes confidence in her ability to transform your haircolor and cut, while allowing you the opportunity to relax during your salon visit. It's a drive for me, but I can't imagine going anywhere else !!!"

I have been going to AK Haircolor & Design for many years for my hair coloring and cuts. She is fabulous! When it is my hair appointment, I know it is my time to relax and put all trust in Angie to get the color and cut perfect. Have no worries! That is important to me.

I truly look forward to visiting Angie’s salon! She is a wonderful stylist who offers personalized service in a clean, professional and relaxing environment. Her warm demeanor combined with her extensive knowledge makes for a wonderful experience. I would recommend AK Haircolor & Design to anyone looking for great service in a lovely salon!

If you are looking for a stylist who will work with you to help you look and feel your best, Angie is the person to see. I am frequently stopped by women in the community who tell me how beautiful my hair is, and they all want to know who cuts and styles it – a sure sign of Angie’s talent and skill with helping people feel good about their hair. . . Even though my hair is VERY straight, has now gone silver, and tends to be difficult to manage, Angie keeps my hair looking great and works with me to make sure I know what to do to keep it looking good in between appointments. I always look forward to seeing Angie, and encourage you to go in and find out for yourself what she can do to help you look your best.
