Kreate Studio for Hair, Beauty, and Well-Being is the go-to destination for Cleveland beauty insiders. Owner Ken Novak is a phenomenal stylist who has surrounded himself with an uber-talented crew of hair and beauty experts, each of whom is impeccably styled herself. When you walk in, there is not a trace of that cheesy, striped and overly flatironed mall hair that is so ubiquitous in most salons these days; instead, both staff and clientele literally look red carpet chic, with tasteful, flowing hairstyles that suit their personalities and individual looks perfectly. Cuts with the master stylist don't come cheaply, but there are stylists there at all price levels, and all of them do an amazing job. When I came in for my first cut with Ken, he literally spent at least 15 minutes analyzing my hair and pulling up pictures on his iphone of cuts he thought would look good on me; he had a plan for what we could cut my hair to now (and showed me a picture) and also showed me a picture of what we could grow it out to, our ultimate goal. For the first time, out of all the stylists I've ever worked with, he actually was able to look through the book of hair colors and pick something that would bring out my eyes (not an easy task since they just look dark chocolate brown to me) and give my hair color a lift (nothing major--just lighten my deep brown slightly and warm it with highlights that are almost imperceptibly different). Other benefits that set this salon apart: L'Oreal Professionel and Intelligent Nutrients organic hair and skincare products; L'Oreal Inoa ammonia free hair color (so the salon never has that nasty toxic smell); scalp massage, mini facial (with hot towel!), and hand massage with shampoo; and free makeup touch up after your service. It is so worth it! I highly recommend this place to everyone--don't waste your time or money going someplace else where you're going to hate the results! I won't set foot anywhere else! read more
