CHAPTER 01
One chair. A clear standard.
An approximately 88-degree garage, an old styling chair and a utility light. That is where Blur began.
Our story
From an 88-Degree Garage to Two Connecticut Shops
An old styling chair, a utility light and a standard for the fade. The story of Blur, from North Haven in 2018 to Branford in 2025.
The name says it
When the lines
disappear.
The name Blur comes from a seamless fade—one where visible transition lines disappear. That technical standard gave the shop its name and its starting point.
From an old chair in a garage to a small two-chair shop on Washington Avenue, the business grew into its current North Haven location in 2019. In 2025, Angelo Graziano and Joe DiPalma partnered on a second location in Branford.
