You want the table a little warmer/ cooler? Got it. Want to lighten the pressure in certain areas? Sure, no problem! Curious about how 'x' pain connects to 'y' limb? You'll get an accurate, thoughtful response. Lights lower, music softer? She's on it. No stress added that I arrived a couple minutes late. She apparently had time, so she tacked those couple minutes on to the end and I got as many minutes as I actually paid for - that's always super appreciated! It would be nice if the room was a little more soundproofed or located further back in the building away from the road; I could hear lunch hour traffic rushing by on the street about 20 yd away. But other than that, this was a great massage, and I've had plenty over the decades. A lot of therapists these days slop through the motions, but Karen really has a pinpoint, accurate understanding of the human body and I give her full props for 90 minutes of targeted, firm pressure body work. Me having slightly arthritic hands, I greatly appreciate her stamina! I left the appointment, amazed with an amount of flexibility in my neck and shoulders I haven't felt in probably 10 years. My 82 yo mom loves it here, too. There's a plethora of skilled service providers and lots of face, body, general wellness treatments to choose from.

I love M'Lou. I have had her do my hair for over 15 years! She is so sweet and really knows what she is doing. Very soft spoken and caring about what the client wants. I have never heard her be rude to a client. She is always very patient. She has great business ethics and does her very best to try to understand what the client wants and expects. She does take phone calls because it is usually a customer calling to make an appointment. I don't mind because that is part of the business - don't answer the phone - no business. She is in partnership with her husband who also does hair. She sometimes has to call him if a client wants to schedule with him. The new Salon is great! Very eclectic and interesting to just walk around and look at the goodies and pictures. I enjoy my appointments! You should give Strut the Salon a try. read more

Before going to Strut, I was never really happy with my hair cuts. I have difficult hair; it's fine and super straight with a lot of cowlicks. My last visit was fantastic. I came in feeling down because I just hadn't found a style that really works for my hair that looks professional, and feels like me. I told Josh and he took it from there. He followed the natural movement of my "whirl", decided highlights would be a great way to add depth and texture, and within an hour I had the most excellent, professional hair style I've ever had. Not only was the cut great, he "painted in" the highlights masterfully. I felt so excited and renewed! Josh is superb at working with difficult hair. I highly recommend Strut. This is the first time I feel a stylist really knows how to handle my hair. read more

Josh and M'Lou are AMAZING!!! M'Lou has been cutting my hair for over 7 years and she always does a great job. She and Josh are able to handle every type of hair and can work magic! I have short straight fine hair and M'Lou consistently give me a cut that match my style, face shape, and vision. I know M'Lou will give me the cut I see in my mind's eye. Josh has been cutting my brother's hair for a few years and my brother drives 45 minutes every time he needs a cut. I never want to leave Columbus because I would hate losing Josh and M'Lou!! read more

I have always been a fan of M'lou and Josh. Primarily, M'lou cuts my hair, and she does a great job with it! M'lou is very intelligent when it comes to hair. Bring your questions there and she and Josh will be more than delighted to share their knowledge with you. M'lou also is very social, so don't worry about trying to stay awake while you're getting your hair cut. Besides, I don't know about other yelpers out there, but they have a special place in their hearts for dogs, a definite plus in my book. read more

Love this salon! I had an awesome experience this past Friday. I told M'Lou I wanted some highlights and a trim, but the rest was up to her! I loved the cut, loved the color, everything! I ended up getting my eyebrows waxed by M'Lou as well and a manicure and pedicure from Linsey. I would highly recommend both of them. The ambiance of the salon is great!

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.
