I've been visiting J. Windeler's Salon since I was a kid, and as long as I'm in Cincinnati, I'll…read morecontinue to get my hair cut at J. Windeler's. Judy, the owner and primary Master Stylist, is great. She's got a sharp sense of style and is willing to work with whatever cut you request. Hand her a photo and she can recreate it. She's been through it all with me; she styled my hair for all my formal dances in high school, chopped off my long locks into a pixie cut when I went to college and dyed my hair hot pink when I rebelled against my office at my first "grown up" job. Besides that, she's one of the sweetest women I've ever met and will do whatever it takes to make sure you leave her salon happy. Her clientele ranges from children to senior citizens, and I assume most of her clients come by word-of-mouth. The salon is somewhat no-frills - Judy still takes appointment by pen and paper, and there's no website to speak of. Though it seems antiquated, there's something comforting about how low-key she keeps the salon. And her clients seem just as loyal without all the bells and whistles of a modern day salon. If you want a zen experience with soothing music and candles, find a day spa. If you want a good hair cut at an affordable price with a friendly face whom you can trust, go to J. Windeler's.

My haircut was given by David and I really liked my cut and enjoyed my experience. I was…read morerecommended by a friend and I'm glad I scheduled with him. He was a vast experience of cutting hair and left me with something I liked. The price was also VERY reasonable. He spent 2 hours on my hair, including washing and blow-drying my hair, and charged me $30. The salon itself is not updated and very plain. I don't mind this as long as I like my hair cut. I would ask for David directly since I can only recommend based on his skills.

Well, I found out A LOT!! Two sisters (Ashley and Andrea) co-own this place and started it a little under a year ago. All of their products are organic and you can tell they really know their stuff when it comes to body grooming and care. They offer tons of services, including but not limited to: Waxing, haircuts (for men and women), mani's, pedi's, massages, etc. My cousin and I had the pleasure of getting our nails done by the owners themselves and they are absolutely the cutest, sweetest ladies ever! Super personable and it's obvious they care a lot about their customers and the services they offer, as well as products sold!! Prices are pretty typical for a salon atmosphere, and absolutely 100% worth it. I will be coming back for more! Also, check out the group-on they have right now for a shellac manicure for under $18!!

It was totally my fault I was late and I appreciate them setting boundaries and expectations to keep themselves on schedule. I enjoyed my experience and liked my haircut and quick style. I will be back when I'm not rushing around to enjoy the salon more fully!

What an overpriced, godawful salon! The management has no idea what it takes to run a successful…read moresalon, could care less about their clients. No people skills, all business, all money. I sat and listened to the conversations and unlike other salons I've been to here and in my native Chicago, where women tend to go to the same salon for years, here it's all superficial fluff. These people are as phony as a $3 bill. They don't want to know you; they just want your money. And they tend to be super conservative... The receptionist even tried to tell me how much to tip! The color was decent, but the cut was flat, no volume or bounce. Worse, when you try to tell them how you like to wear your hair they get pissed off! They walk on water in their minds. They do not care what you think or what you want. Their products are overpriced, but they never recommend them, anyway. Most stylists will suggest styling products to help you at home. Again, they don't care once you walk out of there. My stylist was full of herself, always bragging about what a great stylist she was. Thank God I found a better place that's only a few minutes further but well worth it. At Hair Forum, they stick you with whoever has the fewest appointments. (Wonder why). My current salon goes through the stylists' varied experience and prices and seeks to match you with someone who will work with you. It's perfect because it's a collaboration, not being stuck with a dictator.

Becca, the owner of Vagabond Salon, is hands down one of the most talented stylists I have ever…read moregone to! She is professional, accommodating, and INCREDIBLY talented. She's one of those stylists that actually listens to what you want and never pushes you to do or try something that isn't in your comfort zone. She had been cutting my hair for years before we ever had the conversation about me possibly doing something with color, specifically balayage. What I love most about Becca is that she really does care about your style and will spend time with you during your appointment to actually look at pictures, pins on Pinterest, etc. A lot of stylists I've been to sort of rush that process along, which can be really unnerving when you're spending time and money for color treatments -- Becca will never do that to you! If you take a look at her website, Facebook page, or Instagram handle, you can immediately see the breadth of her ability. Becca is creative, passionate, and a TOTAL pleasure to be around. I'm so lucky that I found her when I moved to Cincinnati, and I highly recommend her to ANYONE regardless of your hair styling tastes and preferences!

She took her time to make sure she knew exactly what colors I wanted. She made sure she only took as many inches as I asked to be cut off I highly recommend her, she is personable, takes her time, uses the best products and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get what you want. Kathy will be my stylist from here on out. If you are looking for a beautician Kathy is your girl. The business is professional, clean and friendly.

She knew what products to use on me and how long to process my hair and the formula to use on my long hair.. however she left me under the dryer for an hour which should have been 15 minutes and she didn't even check on me the whole time under the dryer..needless to say I've lost 6 inches of hair and she kept blaming it on everything but the facts HER!! she did it and another client saw this as well and even vocalized her opinion because she was as shocked as myself* Kim is and was the BEST....and this woman's terrible I mean not even an apology as she brushed my hair and it just kept falling out which is a big deal especially to a woman. I'm totally DISGUSTED and I want to warn people b4 they put their hair in her hands she's not very personable and she obviously does not care and I'm devastated.. this place will go under with her in charge and with kim.

Never asked for a refund before but still waiting to hear back from my multiple emails. I'll be back when Diana returns but don't know that I would switch stylists again.

I have notoriously difficult fingernails, and Dina is the only person who's ever been able to give me a manicure that actually lasts.
