I booked a balayage service for $140, as confirmed by their representative over the phone. However, when I arrived at the salon, the stylist was unable to provide an estimate, saying they could only determine the total cost after completing the service. I explained that my budget could go up to $260, and I was even open to other services within that range, but they refused to give any clarity on pricing. Instead, they told me they couldn't proceed if I wasn't fully committed to the balayage. Then, they outright refused to provide me with any service. First, they blamed the confusion on hiring a new employee, but when the owner got involved, she refused to apologize. Instead, she boasted about running a successful business for eight years with 2,000 clients and went as far as telling me that I was no longer a customer--while I was still in the store. I left feeling humiliated and with the following questions: If the subtotal is $140, what is the total cost? (I was willing to pay up to $300, yet the website provides no clear pricing details.) Why was my time wasted when this could have been clarified over the phone? Was I refused service based on my appearance? How much does it cost to treat a customer with basic respect in front of the staff? read more

Fresh cut from @scottkortowich and I'm feeling flouncy! Can't decide if it's the bouncy style or the fact that I no longer resemble a tumbleweed. Either way, Scotty Scissorhands you're a shear genius! Thank you! Amazing & fun vibe at Green Opal~ definitely try it if you haven't yet! read more

I have been to green Opal twice! Once for a full balayage (photo attached) done by Mia and once more to Tone my hair and get highlights by Samantha! All I can say about the balayage is WOW! The photo speaks for itself. I really appreciate how the salon truly works with what you want. They texted me the day before to send me some sample shots of what I wanted, and if it's your first appointment, they have you come in to see the salon and meet your stylist beforehand. I'm also super excited for their new downtown location opening likely in early August! I feel like the price is very fair considering the time they put in to make your hair look great. Also, a nice touch is the hospitality. As soon as I walked in, I was offered coffee tea water which I really appreciated. Parking at the Lakewood area can be a little bit tough, but I recommend parking at the Starbucks lot on the other side of the block and walking over read more

Green Opal Salon - Me - Hair Salons Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I just moved to Cleveland and found Green Opal Salon through yelp -- Breanna cut my hair and did a phenomenal job. This will be my new go to salon! Not to mention this salon's interior design is impeccable. Such good vibes & good people. Worth every penny! read more

This will be my last response to the owner of the salon. 1) Yes, I was 15 minutes late and I called ahead of time to notify the salon. It was snowing heavily and people were driving slower than usual. They could have told me to reschedule when I called them, but they didn't. But this is besides the point, as it has nothing to do with how my hair ended up. 2) Yes, I was indecisive and I had expected the stylist to guide me as to what color would best suit me. Renee said either would look good and did NOT mention that the color I wanted would be unrealistic. Yes, she said that it may take several sessions because she doesn't want to completely damage my hair and I agreed to that. At no point did she say that the perm I had would negatively affect the coloring. If she had told me, I wouldn't have gone ahead with the color. Or if she had properly advised me to go with a darker color, I would have agreed. In the end, she said both the pictures I showed here would look nice on me and failed to offer guidance as to what would be best. Moreover, there was no mention of a second coloring session at the end of our appointment and the receptionist only asked if I would like to schedule a toner application in 6-8 weeks time. I assumed then that the coloring process was done. 3) Yes, she offered to "fix" my hair and it would only be a toner application. Seeing how the color faded in my hair after 1 wash, I had little confidence that her "fix" would last any longer than that. And no, she did not offer it multiple times and nor did I demand a refund repeatedly. I have the text messages to back that up. 4) No, I did not roll my hair in grease and deliberately take horrible looking pictures just to prove a point. In fact, the middle picture was just after I took a shower. 5) I find it odd that the owner of this salon is trying to paint me as an unreasonable and difficult customer instead of actually explaining why my hair looked the way it did. I even gave this salon a 5 star review during my first visit here for a haircut some time ago so I have little reason to bash this place. read more

When we first moved to Northeast Ohio I tried a handful of places out before discovering Green Opal. This place is amazing. My favorite stylist is Gabby, she is so talented and I always leave looking and more importantly feeling amazing. Not only that, she always shows me tricks for styling and walks me through how to do my hair at home in a fast and easy way so that I don't just leave with "salon hair" but rather I have the ability to look like that every day. Also booking is really easy. Highly recommend her and the salon in general read more

I reached out to Renee, the business owner several days ago to provide her with the opportunity to address my concerns, however, I have not heard back. Hands down, this was the worst experience I have had in terms on customer care and service. Amanda, the receptionist, should avoid jobs that involve customer interactions because she has zero compassion and has a severe case of short term memory loss. She is unprofessional, extremely rude, disrespectful and insincere. The price on the website is meaningless and there is a huge disconnect between what the website says and what Amanda confirmed on the phone vs. what Mia quoted when I arrived. I strongly suggest avoiding Amanda or interacting with her - she deserves to be fired. Mia is extremely cut-and-dry and has no finesse. It seems like she hates her job. She made the entire experience from start to finish painful and awkward. She has a hard time understanding the vision despite sharing several photos with her before arriving and spending a good amount of time explaining what I wanted during the pre-service consultation. I have not interacted with Renee but she clearly doesn't care enough about her business to address the issue. I messaged her on Instagram and Facebook. The only person at this establishment that knows how to make a client feel warm and welcomed is Eileen. She is really sweet and deserves recognition. Bottom line is that there are so many other local businesses that do an excellent job of cut, color and customer service and don't cheat you of what you pay for or are willing to pay for- I strongly suggest taking your business elsewhere. read more

Breanna was my stylist and she was absolutely fabulous. She was so easy to converse with and I left feeling like I had been chatting with a friend. As someone who moved here recently from Chicago, it was nerve-wracking to choose a new stylist. Breanna's extensive experience in NYC made me feel more than comfortable after speaking with her. I was scheduled for a face framing highlight and she did an amazing job melting the baby highlights and face framing highlights into my balayage. I could not recommend her more. As an added bonus, the new salon is GORGEOUS and the staff is so incredibly nice. Scheduling was more than easy. I already booked my next appointment! read more

I've waited to write this review until I had gone back a number of times for a haircut, to make absolutely sure that I was writing an accurately glowing review. I moved over to the west side of town over five years ago, but have been driving back east for a haircut this whole time. I finally decided that I needed to find a new salon closer to home. Since I don't color my now-gray hair, a super-cool haircut is very important to me! Since it is short, style is everything. Renee has been cutting my hair, and I could not be more pleased. She listens very carefully, takes a close look to see how your prior haircut worked / grew out, and just has a great eye. I recommend her highly and if you have difficult hair, she is up to the task! Also, I appreciate the distancing and safety precautions; I feel very safe there. read more

As a curly haired girl with the kind of hair that makes most stylists nervous, I tried Green Opal Salon. I originally met with Gabby first who gave me a really beautiful cut but when I went home and styled it myself it wasn't what I envisioned. After calling the salon and speaking with them we had a pleasant conversation and I was offered an adjustment by Breanna the following day. Breanna really understood my curls and my vision for them when straightened and added the finishing touches I was looking for. I walked out with a gorgeous cut with face framing and a bouncy blowout. I will definitely be making this my new salon and booking with Breanna again as I'm in love with my new look. read more

I've been a fan of Eddy's on Coventry for the past 7-8 years, however, after moving away from the east side, I was disappointed I couldn't find another hair salon of equal caliber. I tried all the salons in Ohio City.. but still nothing was quite like Eddy's. I was so excited to learn they opened a west side location and recently frequented this salon! Located in Lakewood, across from Lucky's, this salon is in a great location. You can park at the Starbucks parking lot, or I just parked across the street in the neighborhood right next to Lucky's. I mean, what's not to like- you can get your haircut and then go to Lucky's for your lunch (or grocery run). It's so convenient! I was fortunate to get my hair cut by Renee, and she did an amazing job. It's so hard to find people who can cut thick Asian hair like my own... somehow it always ends up weirdly cut or growing out all uneven, but Renee did a great job and she did it so fast. And 8 weeks later, my hair still looks great- that's how I know it was a great cut! The staff was nice, the salon was nice, and it was a breeze to make an appointment. I then wait across the street to Lucky's and got a $5 sushi lunch. It was a win-win, in my opinion! Always go to Eddy's (whether it's west or east side), when you need to get a good quality haircut! read more

Mia is the best, she is always surprising me with the magic she is able to create with this trailer trash hair of mine. Everyone is so welcoming and the shop itself is so cozy and adorable with all the beautiful plants. You won't be disappointed. read more

Renee is a phenomenal stylist. I can't recommend her enough! She listened to my wants, made great suggestions and delivered with a great cut and color. I'm so happy I found her! Her Salon is gorgeous and relaxing. Their Kevin Murphy products are amazing- my hair has never felt or looked better. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff are at Eddy's on Clifton. My wife and I moved here last year and she was struggling to find a new stylist. Around Christmas time I was getting my haircut at Eddy's Barbershop and my barber told me about their new sister salon that recently opened next door. I decided to check it out and maybe get some hair products as stocking stuffers for my wife. The design inside was really charming and the owner Renee was very welcoming and sweet. She took the time to ask about my wife's hair, how she likes to wear it, and even looked at some pictures on my phone before recommending a product that would work well on her hair. I told my wife she should check it out and after looking at a few reviews online she made an appointment for later that week. When my wife came home after her appointment and she was beaming. She was so so happy with her new style and color and just could not stop talking about how amazing Renee and her staff are. She says it's absolutely the best haircut of her life! She went back to Renee a couple weeks ago and again came home looking great and smiling ear to ear. Highly recommend Eddy's on Clifton! read more

Love coming to Green Opal Salon for all my hair needs! I have super thick/wavy hair and I could see it being a little intimidating to work with haha. I've been seeing Mia as my hair stylist for a few years now and she has been amazing! Whether it's with a haircut, blowout, or balayage- Mia is always so thorough with her work and I always feel like a million bucks when I walk out of the salon. She's super kind and easy to talk to as well. The salon is also really chic and has a very cool atmosphere. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I walked in with super yellow blonde hair, which is a shade I had been struggling with for months. Renee was extremely attentive and knew exactly what to do to get me to my desired shade. Right off the bat, she gave me what I had been asking other stylists to do for months. The Kevin Murphy products they carry are PETA approved and all natural and organic. The ones she used on my hair made it feel so soft and healthy, and they smelled SO good. The salon is so beautifully decorated and everyone has a great vibe read more

Amazing place for hair cuts. I had very long hair and wanted to cut them short. So I decided to get a pixie cut. And I am so happy with their work. Such a detailed and meticulous job . read more

Booked for a partial and hair cut, completed a virtual hair consultation, appointment was made for partial color and cut duration 2 hours 45 minutes. I arrived to my appointment and was informed by the stylist that she didn't have enough time to complete a partial color and I agreed to move forward to getting my hair cut. I paid for service and left the salon. I was emailed an itemized receipt and was charged for extra time on my hair cut yet I originally booked for a partial coloring and hair cut. The stylist being Brooklyn and speaking with Josh whom scheduled the appointment and discussing the above, Josh informed that the virtual consult backfired on the salon and the salon is not willing to reimburse for the extra time charged yet I took time off work arranged child care with the expectation of getting what I booked for being told no and charged extra. Do not go to this salon they only want your money no care about the service they provide to clients! read more

Eddy's is a new favorite-and not just because my favorite hairdresser moved there! I love it's quiet and relaxed vibe! I'm getting kind of sick of the "salon" lifestyle. It may be a more eclectic vibe but you're definitely still paying the big salon price. Eddy's has a wash/cut and style for about $70 after you've tipped (so like 56 ish without tip). Abby is the only person in the world I let cut my hair, but maybe I should keep that on the DL, she's booked up enough as it is! If you can squeeze into her schedule, she's worth every penny. I literally changed salons just for her and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. read more

Beautiful and cozy salon with tons of greenery that honestly makes they air so fresh. The salon always looks busy and the stylists look happy to be there. I got my hair colored by Cody at the salon and absolutely loved the results. read more

This salon is amazing and always provides quality service. I've had both cuts and color done here and have never been disappointed. It's a bonus that the products are reasonably priced and they always have specials. read more

I will always follow a stylist if he/she is a hair goddess. Renée is just that so I was thrilled to find out she opened Eddy's on Clifton as the owner. Renée strives for perfection and you always leave the salon getting exactly what you asked for. I get so many compliments on my platinum blonde color and always tell them to visit this place. A relaxed yet professional atmosphere where you can tell the other stylists and staff are completely in love with what they're doing. I can't recommend this place enough. It's also conveniently located so you can grab a coffee before your appointment or a bite to eat at Lucky's Market across the street. read more

I came here off an Instagram reference and had such an enjoyable time at the salon. All the ladies are super friendly and my stylist Gabby gave me a fantastic stylish haircut that I'm obsessed with. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to get there hair done in the downtown Cleveland area! read more

Eddy's On Clifton is such a fabulous salon! The staff we all super welcoming, and they have mimosa Saturdays! From the warm lavender eye masks that the put on my face while my color was processing to the great conversations I had - I would HIGHLY recommend. Renee Dreshaj did my color, and I LOVE how it turned out. I heard other ladies in the salon praising the work of Nikki and Jaclyn's work as well. Overall: great staff, great service, great treatment, and great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back! read more

Jaclyn has been my sytlist for three years now and I followed her here because she does such an amazing job. I had bands of yellow blonde that she corrected easily! The salon itself is modern and clean without feeling sterile or like a chain salon. Everytime I am there I love the products that are used, Kevin Murphy, and how my hair looks when I leave! I get so many compliments and I recommend all my friends to check out Eddy's. read more

After my stylist of the last several years changed fields, I was stuck with the task of finding someone new. As all women can attest, this is no easy task. I came to Eddy's on Clifton this morning, and it was wonderful. The inside was beautiful and the staff was gracious and kind. It felt like a small family. The cut I got was phenomenal. If you are in need of a good cut, look for further. I plan to make an appointment for a cut and color in the near future. Great find! read more

I followed my stylist Abby Samerigo to Eddys - this place is the cutest! So serene, relaxing and friendly compared to major chain salons I'm used to. I cannot say enough good things about Abby - I recommend her to everyone who will listen...she is sweet as pie and so talented and professional - she gives great input, won't stop until you're satisfied and is honest with you regarding your expectations. Years ago I came to Abby to fix a bad almost black to blonde (more like yellow) ombre I received from a larger "high end" salon in the Cleveland area - she fixed it beautifully and I've been a loyal customer ever since! I drive an hour one way for her services - I won't trust anyone else. My cuts are always perfect, but her color is to DYE for! (get it? haha) Over the years Abby has taken my hair from dark brunette to vibrant red to caramel and back a few times. Bayalage, highlights, overall color - Every visit I'm looking for a change - I am always elated with the results. I just had my 3rd visit to Eddys and I left more than satisfied yet again - all of the stylists as well as the owner Renee are sweet, friendly and stylish, plus I'm loving the Kevin Murphy products. I highly recommend Eddys and my hair hero Abby @abby.samerigo_hair for keeping my hair game on point :) read more

The friendliest staff and best time! My hair tends to take a few hours and tends to be a pretty boring time, but these ladies make you feel right at home and absolutely beautiful. Would recommend getting your balayage done here great work read more

I am so happy with my experience that I have had at Green Opal! The salon, the front desk staff and the stylists are all so welcoming & inviting. I am very particular with my hair and I knew as soon as I walked into the door that I could trust any of the stylists in the salon. Meagan did a beautiful balayage on my hair that six months later I still receive many comments on. I really needed a haircut this past week and took any available next appointment, and ended up with Gabby who did a very thorough haircut that I was very pleased with. I would highly recommend this salon---you will not be disappointed with any of the stylists that work here!! Thanks Green Opal! read more

The best haircut ever! I can't wait to go back next month for my color. I was hesitant about going because I assumed it was a place for a younger crowd---but they like old people too :) Darling Cody took 30 years off, a little adaption of the Jane Fonda look. I am so pleased. I just wish I had left a bigger tip----next time! Lovely atmosphere, super clean and more than compliant with COVID recommendations, much less than I expected to pay, pleasant conversation, a glass of wine would have been nice but of course we can't do that anymore. If you're considering The Green Opal, make an appointment---you won't be sorry. Thank You! See you soon. read more

I have very short hair, and had a cut with Meredith for $58 before I booked this appointment to have a cut a partial highlight. When I went for the cut and partial highlight, I was stunned when my bill came to $177! WTF????? I called, and talked to the owner, who then talked to Meredith, since, I understand, each stylist sets their own prices. Was told the owner would talk to M. and then call me back.....just got the call.....yep, you paid $177 plus tip for your service. We can do nothing about it. Heads up for those of you thinking on having service done at Eddy's on Clifton. Ask what you are paying for!! For my 3 inch hair, I paid $58 for a cut and $119 for a partial highlight. Do the math. NEVER going back. Rip off. As for the highlight, I've done a better home job. Not impressed. NEVER GOING BACK AND SPREADING THE WORD. PATOOEY. read more

I would give more stars if I could .I found the place online and went there to get a haircut with Renee. This salon is AMAZING. It is clean and has a nice ambience. All of the staff seemed to be friendly. Renee is super nice and make you feel very comfortable. She is highly skilled hair stylist. She listens to me carefully and looked at the picture and gave me advice on what would look best with my hair type. From the moment she started working on my hair, I knew I was in good hands. I have curly hair which is tricky to get a nice short haircut but she went above and beyond with the cut. I absolutely love my haircut and will go back to Renee. Strongly recommended. read more

Amazing! I unfortunately don't live in the Cleveland area but was in town and was in dire need of a long overdue color correction. I reached out after seeing their reviews online and was contacted right away to discuss my current look and my "hair goals." Ummm yes, how nice to be able to share this prior to my visit! I set up an appointment with Rose and she was the best!!! My cut and color were perfect and she took the time to make it just right! I felt like a million bucks - and the pricing was really very reasonable for the work she put into it. Also, I truly feel that going into a salon is more than just walking out with a new, stylish do...it's the overall experience. Renee, Rose and the team will give you just that. Book it! read more

Renee is amazing! She has colored my hair only a few times but it's obvious that she is very knowledgeable and takes as much time as needed to make sure you're happy with the finished look. The salon is quiet and relaxing, too. I'm moving and will miss this place! read more

After several bad experiences in a row at my longtime studio, I decided to try out Eddy's because of the good reviews. I am so happy I did!

Every time I come back to Cleveland to visit family, I always manage to squeeze a haircut with Renee in my tight schedule - she's truly the best hairstylist I've never had in my life and all her recommendations on products were so on point.

I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the decor of this salon. Beyond that, my haircut is perfect and the stylist was so nice. My significant other claimed it was the best hair cut I've had in years. I personally saw Renee and can't recommend her enough. The salon is clean and they're making the earth a better place by recycling and going green. Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Best place ever. Only place I would ever get my haircut done at. Julia was the most helpful and smiley receptionist ever!!! 10/10.
