My hairstylist, Chrissy, does an absolutely fabulous job of cut and color. The only slight negative is parking. They have a small side lot which can get filled pretty quickly There is on street parking so if you are going during a peak time, I would allow a few extra minutes to find parking on the street. This small inconvenience, however is totally worth it for this fabulous salon.

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.

I've been coming to Black Rabbit for more than two years, so I think it's about time I wrote this…read morereview! Anyone who's moved to a new city on their own knows it can be hard to find a good hairstylist. If you find someone great, you're going to stick with that person as long as you can. I booked an appointment with Stephanie at Black Rabbit a few weeks after moving to Cincinnati in June 2020. When I tell you this was the best hair appointment I've ever had, I don't mean that lightly. Stephanie is truly an artist, and her medium is hair. I've been consistently coming back to Stephanie for the last two years -- and the quality of her services has continued to go above and beyond. I also feel like my best self after an appointment with Stephanie, and any woman knows that that refreshing feeling after a good cut/color is hard to beat. Not only is Stephanie a fabulous hairstylist, but she also owns a tattoo shop just across the street from Black Rabbit. They do traditional tattooing, but Stephanie specializes in cosmetic tattooing, and even talked me into getting my eyeliner tattooed. That's a story for a different review, but if you're in the market for that sort of thing, definitely check out Lumen Ink in East Walnut Hills. Black Rabbit as a business kind of operates on a "rent-a-booth" style. All of the stylists manage their own bookings -- and you can access all of their appointment info from the main website. The space is beautiful and modern, with fun decor and a well-stocked drink station in the waiting area. If you're in need of a little refresh in the hair department, Stephanie is definitely your girl.

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!

I'd never had a curly cut before, but Ashley talked me thru her process and it turned out great. I was so happy! I just went back after a few months for another cut and the curly cut and Ashley's care definitely helps bring out the curls and waves and it's amazing. Is it a bit expensive? Sort of - but I can go several months without a cut bc of how my hair is, so it works out (vs. having a particular straight hair style that needs more frequent trims). And Ashley's cut grows out nicely so it makes it easy to let my hair grow a bit in between trims.
