Searching for a new shop and stylist. Looked and looked. Finally found this place in Hyde Park. Stylist was Amy. Took her time. Thanks. Really concerned if I liked my cut previously. I did. Carefully did the cut. Really pleased. Looks great. Nice shop and location. Pleasant experience. Simple and plentiful parking. Will return. read more

They fit me in on super short notice. Amy gave me the best haircut in years. She was a great conversationalist without being annoyingly chatty. Met the owner. Very nice guy. Overall it was a great experience read more

I wanted to come back and update...I am still loving my cut from Bev. I am so glad I stopped the other day. She completely understood what I wanted and it is getting rave reviews from family/friends. read more

See all

Like many in the area, I was apprehensive about going to a salon during the pandemic, even one that I trusted as much as Great Haircuts. Finally, after trying to cut my hair myself (terrible), I went to Great Haircuts and was more than pleased at the precautions they took. Doctors' and dentists' offices are not as careful as this salon has been. Everybody including you must wear a mask, you wait outside until your appointment and they disinfect the chairs and all the utensils thoroughly. It gave me a great sense of relief. And, the haircuts have been great. read more

Relaxed and friendly salon. I'm not a high maintenance person. I like to look nice without breaking the bank or adding multiple colors. I'm sure this place would accommodate people that enjoy getting lots of color - it's just not me. So I get overwhelmed at most salons - I feel like I need to buy more products or do something more with my hair. I leave other places feeling upset, because of the pressure and the price tag. I love this place. Everyone is friendly. Alex is my friend and my stylist. She does a great job with my hair. I leave feeling like I'm in a hair commercial with the wind blowing accenting my new look. If you're looking for a new place, I would definitely recommend this one. read more

Great Haircuts - Right before my hair appointment with Alex - Hair Salons Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Sorry had to drop a star on account of the new guy. A bit rude to call him out I suppose but what I love about this place is the quality of the cut is so good across providers. They are busy and it can be tricky to schedule with the same provider, but the new stylist is not up to par with the standard here and introduces an unwelcome inconsistency. Great haircuts can only come from great stylists. read more

As an Asian male, Beverly at Great Haircuts is the best, and probably one of the few barbers in the Cincinnati area that really knows how to cut Asian hair. On the first day she was patient with me and worked with me to find a haircut that works for my face and hair type. I've been going ever since and she is now my regular hairstylist, and I always have great conversations with her. Highly recommended! read more

What a diamond in the rough! My fiancé has been trying nonstop to find a legitimate place in Cleveland that gets cutting Asian hair right. Randomly during a visit to Cincinnati, he decided to try Great Haircuts. For Asian hair, you must ask for Beverly. She was very willing to work with my fiancé as she cut my fiancé's hair to make sure that it was what he wanted. She was very detailed in her work and had a good understanding of what kind of styles Asians prefer. The price was also very reasonable for this gem we have yet to discover elsewhere outside of Chicagoland. If we ever have to go back to Cleveland, we will definitely make an appointment with Beverly again. I'm so glad my fiance's cut doesn't look awkward .. it's the first time in quite a while. FYI, there is WiFi available for people waiting, but no tables. read more

After moving to Cincinnati one year ago, I tried a few of the places in town (Sports Clips, Super Cuts, Roosters in Mariemont, and Mariemont Barber Shop). I received inconsistent haircuts from all of these places, and while the latter two gave me some great haircuts, I got some not-great ones as well. After finding Great Haircuts, I will never go to another salon for my hair. They greet you with a warm smile every time, they remember their customers, and most importantly, their haircuts are on point every time. I've had haircuts by Alex, Amy, and Mary (a total of 5 haircuts), and I have gotten a great haircut each and every time. Sure, they're a little pricier than a few of the other places in town ($27 for a men's haircut), but it's well worth it, because you know you're going to get a perfect haircut every single time, and an excellent experience overall. read more

I've been here three times, twice I didn't have an appointment and never had to wait long! Beverly and Alexandra are my two faves. They both really take the time to make sure your haircut is "just right". Clean. Professional. Fair Price. I'd definitely recommend this place to friends. read more

I came here in tears after having gotten an awful cut the night before. I'm not from the area and found this salon on Yelp. Alex was fantastic and very reassuring. I left very happy with my hair and she didn't take that much length off, which was great. Will definitely be returning here for my next trim. read more

Just awesome. Alex was one of the most thorough and detail oriented stylists I've ever experienced... turned out to be a great cut and I'll definitely make this my regular spot now. read more

If you want an exceptional haircut, color or style with a great atmosphere, Great Haircuts is where you should go. Jerry Lay has been cutting my hair for 40 years. Now I take my teenage grandson with me and Beverly cuts his hair while Jerry cuts mine. Now my grandson doesn't want anyone else to cut his hair. These guys are the best!! read more

Amy cut and colored my hair. She was very friendly and did an excellent job. My hair turned out beautifully and it was exactly what I wanted! read more

Jerry Lay has been cutting my hair since forever and he decided I needed an update...... best haircut ever. I guess Cincinnati Magazine got tired of naming Great Haircuts the best in town, but let this be a reminder ::: Still the best ::: read more

This is by far the best place in the area to get a haircut. Do not waste your time trying other places. The care and devotion these stylists put into your haircut is unparalleled. Totally worth the money. You'll never want to go anywhere else. Ask for Alex! read more

Great haircut from Beverly! Usually I see Wayne, the owner, when I'm in town visiting my family, but I called at the last minute and he was tied up. Beverly gave me a great haircut, with friendly service. This place continues to live up to its name, and at a reasonable price. read more

Have been back here quite a few times to see Amy, every time with another weird request. Blonde highlights, hot pink tips, blue tips, etc. She has done an amazing job every time and She is my regular hairdresser now. read more

Great Experience! I was very impressed with the level of service! The highlights are the best I have ever received and Alex was excellent! She took my considerations and the nature of my hair into account to make sure the cut looked exactly as I had imagined. read more

I was in town visiting from DC and was leaving for vacation and REALLY needed a haircut. I called Great Haircuts and was told Alex would be cutting my hair. She did a wonderful job and was very personable. I would highly recommend giving Alex a try!! To put things in perspective...I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair and was much more than satisfied with the result! THANKS ALEX!! read more

Had my first appointment here yesterday with Alex. She did an excellent job! Finding someone who can my my hair and make it look good right off the bat has been a challenge around here. She exceeded expectations. This is my new place for getting my hair cut and I'll be going to Great Haircuts from now on. read more

I've never really been picky about haircuts - but I'm an adult now and felt like I should look like one. I went in and was seen by Bev, who was incredibly nice and fun to talk to, all the while making my hair look fantastic. It was almost double the price of my usual haircut (27 dollars) but it was absolutely worth it. I think spending that kind of of money is very rarely worth it. read more

My first time visit and have the best new cut by Beverly! I have the exact cut I was looking for.

This little salon really surprised me the first time I walked in. There were as many male as female clients (maybe even more!) and they were from all ages. I'm not used to this! I normally patronized salons that were almost exclusively for women that were more "spa"-like. But I had already met my new stylist in a social setting and after a friendly conversation, decided to give her a try. Amy listened as I explained what I wanted and for the first time in years, left the salon with no desire to go home and wash my hair. I've been a faithful client for over a year now, unusual for me :) I'm writing now because I'm particularly pleased with my "do" (new as of yesterday) and wanted to let give Amy her just due as a real professional. With a very fine voice! read more

I have been coming here for years, love the care I always get from Amy! The people at Great Haircuts are like family, always personable and accommodating appt. times. Highly recommend. read more

Had to go for a fix to my last haircut at a well-known, high-priced chain. Mary did a wonderful job and I couldn't wait to show off the work of a true professional. I will definitely be back and I have already recommended Mary and the salon to others. read more

Amy has been doing my hair for years. She is a great colorist and honestly an expert at cutting curly hair. She is wonderful you won't be sorry, ask for her!! read more

Based on other Yelp reviews I went in for a haircut with Alex. She did a great job and was super nice.

40 years ago my brother came home with a good haircut one day. Our mother commented on it. So I went there and got the best haircut I'd had yet. I continued to go there whenever I was in Cincinnati. During the ensuring decades I lived in other cities and sought out the best haircuts I could find in them, and I did find a really great one in New York City, but no one ever exceeded what I continue to get from Great Haircuts here now that I'm back in Cincinnati. read more
