Although I like the 'pandemic roots' trend, I was more than ready to have my color done and Chelsea always does the best job! Many things changed at the salon and understandably so. First of all, they were able to use the lock down time to make some serious renovations and the salon is looking refreshed and airy! I love the new look, the stations are positioned differently and a much brighter color scheme makes it feel much bigger. Don't worry though, the owl leitmotif is still present ;) Many safety precautions are in place, so that we can all feel safe. The human density limits are strictly followed and everyone is required to wear a mask. I was always very confident in this Salon's sanitation practices, but now it is enforced to an even higher standard. They only work by appointment now, so get yours while you can! Beware that they cannot do any blowouts, so you can request a dry cut, otherwise you will need to leave with your hair wet. I was happy they didn't add any surcharge for extra sanitation, but since you don't get the blowout it feels more fair. Some advice: wear a disposable surgical mask when you have your color done, because the ear loops might get messy and might damage your fancy cloth mask. Do not bring any chunky handbags or food in, help keep everything clean. Make sure you know the new COVID-19 drill posted on their website and fill the waiver online. Other than that, relax and enjoy your hair being done! We waited so long for that! Yaaay!

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!

My hairstylist, Chrissy, does an absolutely fabulous job of cut and color. The only slight negative is parking.

This small inconvenience, however is totally worth it for this fabulous salon.

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.

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 walked upstairs to Maddie's station to get started. I got a wash, cut and style. Maddie was very attentive and careful with how I wanted to cut my hair.

This will be my go to place from now on.

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 got my first ever massage today as a gift from my husband. I chose those place because it was the…read moreclosest to my home with good reviews that wouldn't make me deal with going into Cincinnati. Unfortunately for me, my massage had to be rescheduled twice due to masseuse being sick. Despite being told less than 24 hours before the massage... twice... the discount they gave me as an apology was only 10% (they charge you 50% if you cancel less than 24 hours ahead of your scheduled massage). I wasn't expecting a 50% discount or anything... but if would have been nicer if it was close to 20% since I had to rearrange childcare twice. The masseuse went over the basics with me at the start of the massage and I decided to sort of let her lead as I had no idea what I didn't like or what to expect. I'm not sure what's normal, but most of the massage was pretty good. I did think too much time was spent massaging my head, too much time fiddling with hot towels, and sometimes I couldn't tell what she was doing for short periods of time (since there was no massaging going on). The thing that I disliked the most was that the 90 minute massage seemed to be 90 minutes minus the six minutes she had spent going over some basic info at the start. Which again, not sure if that's normal but it seemed a bit odd to me to include that in the massage time. Overall, it felt nice but I also felt that some of the massage time was wasted on massaging places that didn't really need it like my arms. Not sure if I'll be back but at least I'll be able to give more direction if I do.

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.

I can't say enough great things about Salon Central OTR. From the moment you walk in, it's clear…read morethat this is a salon built on professionalism, talent, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. The entire team reflects a high level of technical training and artistry, and that standard is no accident--it's a direct result of the leadership, mentorship, and vision of Jim Brofft. Under Jim's direction and training, the stylists operate at an elite level. Their attention to detail, precision cutting, and thoughtful consultation process consistently elevate the experience well beyond a typical salon visit. You can feel the culture of mastery and ongoing education in every appointment. Personally, I've trusted Jim with my hair for years, and the results have been consistently outstanding. His cuts are tailored, refined, and remarkably durable--they grow out beautifully and always feel intentional. That level of consistency over many years is rare, and it speaks volumes about his expert

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.
