About Me
Hi, I'm Patty,
I am a hairstylist, wife, mom, fitness junkie, and many other things to boot!
It all started in my childhood bedroom. My first client was Barbie. As I grew so did my clientele. I was well into friends and family by the time I was a teenager.
Cosmetology school was an obvious decision for me. Then, it wasn't enough. I really wanted to help people who were suffering from hair loss and scalp issues. I got my Trichology training at world-renowned US Trichology.
Health Coaching is a new passion of mine. I am a Certified Health and Life Coach. I truly believe that changing small habits can change your life. I am living proof!
I have extreme patience and my active listening skills really help me keep my work in line with what my guests are looking for.
As part of my healthy lifestyle, I am very aware of what goes into and onto my body. That has seeped into my workplace. I only use high-performance products that respect personal health.
I provide an uplifting and relaxing experience for you, create a beautiful style, and educate you to create the look at home. You will leave my salon feeling beautiful and confident!
Hair loss therapy
Did you think you had to go to a big intimidating clinic to treat your hair loss?
I would love to invite you to The Dorset Salon, where we will have the privacy to have a thorough consultation one-on-one in a salon setting.
I am trained to look for hair loss problems and scalp issues in a holistic way by evaluating clients on the basis of personal history, lifestyle, genetic factors, and environmental conditions. I will suggest individualized cosmetic solutions, give nutritional advice and recommend lifestyle changes to improve the health and appearance of the hair and scalp. I only recommend products and therapies that are either FDA-cleared or EU-certified clean products.
Please book a complimentary consultation to meet me and learn about some possible solutions for your hair loss.
Southern Vermont's Bridal Hair Expert, Patty Bassett has been styling hair for weddings for 20+ years. She is always learning new techniques and staying up to date with trends so you can be confident you will look your best on your wedding day.

Patty's an INCREDIBLE stylist - Book Now!!!
Patty did such an amazing job on my, my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law's hair. Living in NYC and planning a VT wedding was stressful. I had several hair trials with other vendors who did not live up to my wedding day hair expectations. I finally found Patty and she was everything and more I hoped for in a hairstylist! Patty listened and executed the style exactly how I wanted it. She was on time, professional, and a pleasure to hang out with for the 6 hours of prep time for me and our 10 other attendees. I can not say enough positive things about my experience with her, without Patty I would have never felt as comfortable or glamorous on my wedding day!

Patty is Absolutely Amazing!
Patty was absolutely amazing to work with. She is a true professional, takes direction and feedback well, and works wonders with all hair types. She did the hairstyles for me, my sisters, mother, and mother-in-law on my wedding day and everyone looked amazing. I have thin hair, to begin with, so it was important for me to have a hairstylist that could work with different hair types and who could also ensure my hair would stay secure during my outdoor ceremony and through the night at the reception. Patty made all of that come true and I was thrilled with the way everything turned out. I could not have asked for a better hairstylist! Highly recommend!!

Patty is Magic!
I am so happy that I got to work with Patty for our wedding! I had done a lot of research on different hairstylists in the surrounding area, and from the moment I met Patty I knew I had made the right decision. Not only is she a fantastic stylist, but she is also such a kind person with such great energy, and that was really wonderful to have around on the morning of the wedding when everyone is a little nervous and high-stress! I went from having one look, to changing my mind completely and adding in hair extensions, and she rolled through all of my crazy changes with such patience and always made me feel comfortable with voicing my thoughts and opinions. Everyone’s hair looked beautiful on the wedding day, and it all looked styled and stayed in place without having the look of too much hair spray or bobby pins. Patty really works some kind of magic on hair, and I am so thankful that she was part of our big day!
