Paula

OWNER, HAIR STYLIST

Paula has been the proud owner of A Cut Above Hair Design since 1990. After more than 36 wonderful years, she’s excited to share the next chapter of the salon’s story. A Cut Above Hair Design has joined forces with its sister salon, That Look Salon in East Lyme, which Paula purchased in 2020.

Clients will still see the same friendly faces they know and love—now in a beautiful, unique space filled with creativity, collaboration, and fresh ideas. Together, the team is blending the heart and legacy of A Cut Above with the vibrant energy of That Look to create an even better salon experience.

Paula’s passion for hairstyling has never faded. She especially loves creating elegant upstyles for bridal parties, runway shows, and brides who want the very best for their big day. Committed to staying at the forefront of the industry, Paula regularly attends advanced classes in hairstyling techniques and professional products. Her continued education includes training with Yves Durif in New York, as well as numerous programs from R+Co, Bleu, and R+Color.
