A new hair salon has opened in Coventry, aiming to please clients “who place value in details,” said owner Eddy Maddox, one of the original owners of now-closed Fast Eddy’s Chop Shop.
A welcoming atmosphere, friendly service and artistic décor are among the features that Maddox hopes visitors will notice at Eddy’s On Coventry, LLC, in addition to high-quality, full-service hairstyling.
Product lines such as Pureology, Aquage and Redken will be used when styling, and staff will serve visitors homemade cookies and lemon ice water, made with organic lemons, Maddox said. Also focusing on interior design, during construction Maddox added a fireplace mantel, a product storage unit that resembles the side of a barn, and metal art to give the space what he calls an “industrial vintage vibe.”
“The salon has a warm, homey feeling to it. I’ve brought in some antiques and mixed them in with modern pieces,” Maddox said. “When people come in, I want to give them a great haircut, but I also want to give them a great experience and for them to feel at home.”
The 800-square-foot location houses six cutting stations and employs three stylists—Raqui Brown, who worked for five years at Fast Eddy’s; Renee Bennett, formerly of Crazy Mullets; and Maddox, who has 23 years of experience cutting and styling hair.“The salon has a warm, homey feeling to it. I’ve brought in some antiques and mixed them in with modern pieces,” Maddox said. “When people come in, I want to give them a great haircut, but I also want to give them a great experience and for them to feel at home.”
