Tim is the man. I recently moved to Ohio from the West Coast for school and needed a solid haircut…read more I'm pretty picky about my hair, so finding someone I could trust was important. I almost didn't book because of some negative reviews but after reading through them they seemed not very credible, I decided to give Tim a shot. I'm glad I did. He helped me choose a style from a few photos online, explained what would work best for my hair, and absolutely nailed it. He offered me coffee, never tried to sell me any products, and gave me honest advice on maintaining my hair. Tim is a genuinely down-to-earth guy who's passionate about what he does. The shop has a great atmosphere, the prices are fair, and I couldn't be happier with my haircut. My wife loved it too. I'll definitely be back.

This is a great salon. It recently went through some renovations and is more open and spacious…read more They have just expanded and opened an Annex, that is in a separate building. On top of hair services, they do offer an array of other services, like nails, lashes and brows. In the future, also facials. Since they have the second location at the Annex, the salon is even more safe now, with lots of room, spread chairs and safe social distancing practices. Masks, temperature checks etc. are compulsory and some complimentary services (hand massage or mini facial, complimentary drinks) are ceased due to pandemic. I am a regular with Chelsea PJ. She is very nice, very skilled and reliable. I highly recommend her. My Wife gets her color done regularly with Chelsea and it always looks great.

Finally! I have a stylist in Cincinnati! It has been more than a decade since I've had a stylist…read morefor a multitude of reasons, and I'd honestly given up, but I FOUND HER! Aniya has a quaint little suite in the Nobel building just across from Mcklenburg Gardens, which is close to UC's central campus. Truth be told, I'd tried another stylist in the same building and was less than impressed for the same reasons I've never been able to find a stylist in the past: I was on time but she had another person in the chair and had to start 30 minutes late; I had to have my hair already washed and blow dried, all she did was corn-row me, and she charged me $100! She was nice enough, but nobody is going to consistently pay you to take advantage of them. Thankfully, there were other stylists in the building I could try out, and I'm glad I did! Aniya over in Suite 1 is serving up JUST the right services at just the right pace and prices. She's been READY for me when I show up, I've had an amazing shampoo experience on the bowl, she detangles like a pro (no pulling or snags!), and my cornrows stay in place for a month solid. Best of all, she only charged me $50! Now that's a stylist I can get and stay behind. I'm looking forward to trying her silk presses and other services. They're all reasonably priced, and she's a delight to work with: professional, kind, talented, and not trying to make you pay all her bills while having you do half the work. Go check her out!

In April, I made plans to visit Cincinnati and started looking for a place to get my hair…read morehighlighted and cut. I found Parlour online, and the reviews were great for all of their stylists. I booked with Caitlin V bc she specializes in blondes. Caitlin lived up to her reviews and then some! She took the time to talk to me about what I wanted and she more than delivered. Not only is she talented, she is kind, funny, and really interesting to talk to. I was in need of a 'pick me up' w/my hair and I got it! I am 66 and have had my hair cut and colored all over the world, and I have to say Caitlin is one of the best. Wish I lived in Cincinnati, I'd be a regular! The salon is peaceful and trendy, without being intimidating. The salon manager, Jack communicated clearly with me by email, and was so helpful when I was making my appointment. They were also prompt in responding to my questions, which can be a rarity these days. The front desk staff was so welcoming and made me feel like a long time cherished customer. They gave me recommendations on restaurants and places to visit in the area (shout out Victoria!), as it was my first time to Cincinnati. I could go on and on about what a great experience I had at Parlour. If you are looking for a salon or stylist, give Parlour a try! Absolutely thrilled with the whole experience! And, I am picky! Everything exceeded my expectations, especially Caitlin!

My appointment with Biz was amazing. I loved all the little details to relaxation. Best shampoo I…read morehave ever received. Was so relaxing almost fell asleep at the shampoo bowl. Which for curly hair girlies getting your hair washed usually means knots and tangles and fingers stuck in all your hair. There was none of this. And they give a nice little scalp massage. Then when you return to your seat they give you a neck and shoulder massage with essentials to fit your mood. All complimentary! Biz, herself, was easy to communicate my desired look with and she understood it to a "T" and delivered great results. I absolutely loved my transformation. Going from long hair to short hair can be scary and Biz made sure we were both on the same page for expectations. I also loved how she didn't push product or add ons. She gladly told me what products she used when I asked (because my hair looked the most fabulous it ever has, no frizz) but never gave me a sales pitch or pressure to buy or spend money I wasn't wanting to. In the end I got a fabulous new look and exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be returning to Biz at Industry for more hair needs.

So, I tried to highlight my own hair and it definitely did not go as planned. I came to see Sophia…read moreto see what we could do to fix my hair. As soon as she saw me all I felt was judgement even though I tried my best to keep the conversation lighthearted about my hair situation. She then took a test strand of my hair but rushed me out the door and wouldn't let me stay for the results. Even the front desk receptionist was confused when Sophia said she was sending me out and just going to text me. I was charged 30 dollars for the consult which I was fine with until Sophia wanted to charge me 400$ for full foils and refused to help me find a solution within my 250$ budget. (mind you I noted that I was okay with any solution as long as it fit in my budget and made my hair look better than it did). Definitely don't recommend.

He is very perceptive, and therefore he will know you before you have completed your first sentence. You will feel like old friends. And we all know that true friends will always tell you the truth about your hair. He combines intuition with experience and superb skill to send you out the door with the best hair for you. I love that the salon is in an older house on Main Street in Covington. Hardwood floors and the constantly changing local wall art provide charm and warmth. He is the real deal and will keep me coming back.

I was able to make an appointment for my husband and my 2 brother in laws for a same week…read moreappointment which we are grateful for. They reached out quickly and scheduling was easy. However, not sure what happened with the haircut but it was pretty awful. It was really disappointing since we had a funeral the same week and the haircuts were probably worse than super cuts.

I've never had a massage before. The reason I tried 502 Salon & Spa was because they offered 30…read moreminute sessions, and I figured if I hated it, it wouldn't last too long. Most places offer 60 and 90 minute sessions (501 also has these options, but I love the shorter ones). I put in my notes when I booked online that it was my first massage and I was nervous it would be painful. When I arrived, the front desk attendant was very kind and took me upstairs to the spa. (Note - not sure how accessible this place is - I did not notice an elevator). My masseuse was Ashley, and she was incredible. She walked me through the process knowing I was apprehensive, explained any add ons, and made me feel at ease. She is so good at what she does, and I genuinely cannot wait to go back.

This was unfortunately the most disappointing salon experience I've ever had. The reception team…read morewas lovely, the ambiance is beautiful, and the stylists are kind and professional. However, the results were consistently not what I requested. I brought in an inspiration photo and clearly stated multiple times that I did not want any red tones. The result was noticeably red/orange and looked nothing like the photo. I called the salon, and they were courteous and offered to correct it. The manager was helpful and encouraged me to return to the same stylist so she could learn from the situation. Although I was uncomfortable with that, I agreed as long as there was guidance. At the redo appointment, I again showed the inspiration photo and reiterated my concerns. Unfortunately, I left with hair that was pinkish/reddish/yellow and extremely dry -- again, not aligned with what I requested. The manager did ask if I was happy with it, but with the stylist present, I felt uncomfortable speaking up and said very little. The situation felt awkward and difficult to address in the moment. While the redo was comped, I was charged approximately $150 for a root retouch. Within just a few days, my silver growth was already visible. At this point, I am over $500 into the experience and have left each appointment feeling embarrassed rather than confident. I've decided to move on and find another salon, but I was truly disappointed by how far the final results were from what was clearly communicated.

Wow! Where have you been all my life Salon Central OTR?…read more I made an appointment based on fellow Yelpies reviews and am so glad I did. Jim is absolutely amazing. He and his assistant Amber made me feel right at home and are so very welcoming. I am letting my silver grow out and after a great consultation Jim went to work, adding highlights and lowlights, doing all kind of magic, and gave me a fresh cut afterwards. I was super nervous of how my hair would turn out since this is not an easy transition for me going from medium brown to my now silver. My fears were unfounded and my hair turned out amazing! Jim blended the silver with my brown perfectly, and gave me a super flattering hair cut.

Bridget came highly recommended by a friend. When I mentioned that my appointment with my stylist…read morewasn't for another month and that my bangs were driving me insane, my friend raved about Bridget. So I gave her a call. She was very nice and was more than happy to work with my schedule. During my visit with her, she listened carefully to what I was asking for, asked questions in return to clarify, and went to work on my long mane. We had a very nice casual conversation while she cut my hair. She stated that it was a little intimidating cutting my hair, knowing who my normal stylist is. "He's a hard act to follow". I have to be honest and say that Bridget did a fantastic job. My hair might be long, but it's not easy to cut. This is the first time I have gone to someone, other than my stylist, and have been truly happy with the results. Bridget is knowledgeable, gives attention to detail, and overall, is a very nice person. Her shop is open by appointment only, no walk ins. And she is currently working on getting a credit card machine so she can accept them soon. Her shop is super cute, and easy to find.
