I have had nothing but great experiences here. I will say, I'm someone who doesn't plan ahead well, so when I schedule a haircut/color, it's usually last minute so I schedule with whoever has an opening. As a result, I've had appointments with many of the women here and they all have done a fantastic job. The usual visit goes: I do a terrible job explaining what I want exactly (usually accompanied by a picture or two), they somehow decipher it and make their own suggestions, and I walk out loving my new color (and cut but I usually just trim a couple inches so nothing special there). Everyone's super nice and they're good at reading whether or not I want to chat or just have an hour or two of relative silence/escape from my hectic life. They also always suggest cheaper ways of doing what I want and I'm grateful for that (and it always looks amazing). They also always take into account my infrequency of visits and suggest things that will take less upkeep which is also appreciated. Picture is just the most recent haircut and color; sorry it's just half my hair but it might give you an idea! The only problem is that parking is a nightmare in the area. There are usually some free meters in the area (try a street down from the salon, next to the UDF) but if you're getting something that might take more than two hours, those two hour meters aren't super helpful. read more

J Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I absolutely love how my hair turned out i totally recommend getting an appointment with Tapanga she was super sweet and very thorough and i love the final product read more

Writing an updated review since I've had both my nails and hair done here! Can't recommend this place enough. Lauren is LIFE, Lauren is LOVE. She's such a gem there. Online booking is super easy, I definitely recommend doing this because during certain times of year (major Ohio State events, major holidays), they can get fairly busy, so walk-ins can be a bit of a wait. I don't color my hair, so I can't comment on it - but I love having my haircut there and will probably do so until the end of time. My hair always feels amazingly soft and smells terrific, and I appreciate that Lauren will remember your haircut style. (I do wish they would validate parking for the Gateway or something though. Parking is the only downside to this place, because campus. I usually end up taking the bus to here instead.) Nail services are nice too! Spring for the gel - it's only a couple of dollars more, and lasts a lot longer. The range of colors is pretty varied, and the service itself is such a relaxing treat. I don't live on campus anymore - but I make my exemptions to come here, and always will. read more

I've been coloring my hair since I was 11 years old- and no one has done a nicer job than Lauren at J salon. I had heard of the magic nestled behind Plaza on Chitt and one day decided to give it a go. I've never been happier with my hair color, its cut, and its strength against damage (ALWAYS get the Olaplex if you're a constant color user, and the Redken detangler may also be known as pixie dust). It took some time to get to the color, length, and strength my hair is now, but I've never felt more confident in how I look and present myself to the world. Check out the powerhouse of women at J salon- you won't regret it. read more

See all

I got a cut & face framing highlights, my hair looks great but a $15 toner was added to my service that I was not aware of/was not told was an extra charge. I would have appreciated if I first told about what the toner is & it's benefits, informed that it would cost $15 extra and then ASKED if I would like it added to my service rather than it just be added without my knowledge. UPDATE: The owner reached out to me & refunded the $15. Handled very professionally & kept the customer in mind. I'll be back! read more

J Salon has quickly become the only place I'll get my hair cut! I've gotten cuts from three or four of the stylists now, and they are all incredibly sweet and do a fantastic job. They are all very knowledgeable and offer great input on what kind of cut would be best. Plus, the salon is conveniently located right next to OSU's campus and booking here is a breeze online. I'm curious to try their nail services too. read more

I've been looking for a new salon and I think I've finally found it! I was hesitant to try J Salon because I understand that Asian hair can be difficult to cut but Lauren did an amazing job on my hair. However, my sister also got her hair cut by Lauren and it was a bit too blunt of a cut so I'm weary about the consistency. It didn't look bad, just a bit more blunt than usual. The salon is cute and well-maintained, although small, so make sure to make an appointment. Also, if you're a student, you can get a free cut with the pocket points app so you should definitely give them a shot! read more

J Salon is amazing! Lauren always has done an excellent job on my hair and really knows her stuff! Everyone here is incredibly nice and the atmosphere is lovely. I couldn't recommend J Salon enough. read more

I really liked my haircut that I got from the salon! My hair dresser was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Everyone was professional and kind. As a student at OSU, I don't always have tons of money floating around, but for the quality of the haircut, I thought the price was reasonable. Just as a heads up, they only accept cash or Venmo. I definitely will be coming back! read more

This place is great! Just stumbled in here one day with my mom and they were super nice about us not having an appointment. Walk ins very welcome. It's a smaller salon so make an appointment if you can but they seem very flexible. Great haircut and manicure. The two girls working were so nice and the prices are reasonable. Definitely the best place to go on campus. read more

I can seriously not recommend Lauren enough! I have naturally curly hair and had seriously struggled in the past to find a stylist that cut it correctly. Whether I go in for a cut, color, trim, or style I have never left disappointed! She's amazing!! read more

Wonderful salon in Columbus. I recently moved here with my husband and was in need of finding a nice salon with reasonable prices and friendly service. This salon didn't disappoint, it was lovely working with Anna. She did an amazing job coloring and cutting my hair. Highly recommend! read more

I went there for the first time this morning. The salon was neat, the staff were very professional and friendly. Brenna did a great job cutting and styling my hair!!! Definitely would recommend to my friends in the OSU area. read more

I made an appointment for the combination balayage + haircut service. I was pretty optimistic since I had been to the salon a few times before with great experiences. I showed the hair stylist, Katie, a few pictures of what I had in mind. I loved my haircut and Katie did a fabulous job and knew exactly what I was going for. However, I was extremely unhappy with the color treatment I received. My hair ended up much darker and streakier than what I had asked for. On top of that, I was overcharged on the toner. I contacted the salon regarding the issue and asked for a quick color correction from any of the stylists. I was told that I would need multiple appointments to get my hair (dark/medium blonde) to the shade I wanted... ??? I was surprised to hear that since my very first balayage treatment (from a different salon) took my hair from a level 6 to a level 10 within one visit. I have also never been denied a color correction from other salons after expressing my disappointment. I regret spending $160 on a service that I hated. I will not be returning to this salon nor will I recommend it to anyone that I care about in the slightest. read more

Stumbled in here one day because it is right next to plaza. Went in to get a manicure and it was such a wonderful experience. The salon is so cozy and cute with a fantastic atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back! read more

Stopped in this past weekend for a hair cut and style that was long over due, they were able to get me in the day of which was AMAZING for a last minute person like myself. I was impressed at how cute and clean the salon was. I was greeted immediately as I entered and was offered something to drink. Raine was the stylist who did my cut and let me say she did not disappoint! I told her that I was looking to get rid of split ends and grow my hair out, she didn't try and sell me on anything I didn't need and did exactly what I wanted. She constantly checked in with me to make sure I was happy with my length, and framed my face in a way that suited me! Anyone in the campus area (and those outside) could benefit from stopping in! To sum it up, I would highly recommend as it was convenient, quick, reasonable priced and everything I wanted and needed! I will be back! read more

I went to J Salon for a simple wash, cut, and style. The salon is small-- just two chairs-- but clean and bright without any overpowering chemical smells. I made an appointment online beforehand which was easy and efficient. The stylist who did my cut was ready when I arrived and very friendly. I'm not a big talker so we made some pleasant conversation but she was content to focus on her work; I love when stylists can read their clients! I didn't know exactly what I wanted so I gave a general idea to which she listened carefully and then gave a couple of suggestions. She worked quickly and I was very happy with my cut when it was all done. read more

I booked an online appointment on a whim to fix a bad haircut that I had gotten at my regular salon. My stylist, Katie, listened to what I wanted fixed and did an amazing job correcting my length and layers. I'm really happy with the finished result and prices are super affordable. I'll definitely be coming back here again! read more

I scheduled an appointment online with Julie for color. I have not liked my hair for over 6 months. I am completely thrilled I found a hair stylist who listened and delivered! Julie did a fantastic job and I would recommend her to anyone I know. read more

I'm new to Columbus and I definitely will be coming back. Their services are really reasonably priced. They have their prices listed on their website and you can also make an appointment online. Had my hair cut by Lauren. She was super nice and made sure that I was liking how it looked throughout the appointment. Would definitely recommend them! read more

I go to the law school right across the street. This place is extremely convenient for me. Plus the prices are great compared to other places in Columbus. I love that they offer affordable dry cuts, which were almost impossible to find in the city when I was looking for a new salon. The girls are great and really appreciate their customers. I'm growing out my hair but have bangs and they always cut my bangs for free in between cuts. Amazing place would recommend 10/10. read more

The young ladies in this salon is excellent. Both do a fabulous job . I go every 4 weeks for color and they are very accommodating with their hours. The atmosphere is upbeat and very clean. You won't be sorry!!! read more
