I was able to make an appointment for my husband and my 2 brother in laws for a same week appointment 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 should of taken photos of the hair before and after to post. We came home only to have my husband get another cut. read more

I had the most delightful experience at Swayne on Main. As soon as I walked in I noticed all staff and patrons had masks on which made me feel safe. 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. I showed her a picture of my inspiration and she absolutely delivered. I was so thrilled with the outcome I almost twirled around like a princess at the salon. This will be my go to place from now on. read more

Thank you Keary for your patience with my little guy yesterday. Thank you listening and spending that extra time with us to find out what we wanted done to his hair. Thank you for actually cutting and styling the way we requested. You know your stuff !! It's difficult to find many folks who can cut and style curly hair. My boy was so proud of his new look, thank you for making it a pleasure to sit in your chair. We shall return !! And I'm spreading the word around town. Moms love to share experiences. read more

See all

Sawyne On Main is a great salon that isn't the typical over-the-top modern salon. It's a very down to earth salon with a staff that is focused on you - not the aesthetics of the salon. My favorite stylist is Kim O'Toole - ask for her, she is great! Kim is young and extremely talented. She is very easy to talk to and listens to what I'm looking for with styling, color, cut, etc. I trust Kim's judgment and give her full creative range on my locks. Most recently I asked Kim to update my everyday look since I've had the same cut/color for years. She fired up my color with a new red tone and then cut a small amount of layers into my hair to give it some extra shape when I wear it straight down. I couldn't have been more thrilled. She has also done various special styles for weddings, events, etc and would highly suggest her. She'll even give you the scoop on which salon products are worth the money. The salon space at Swayne On Main is very comfortable and inviting. It is filled with art from local artists and changes every few weeks. Pricing is very reasonable. read more

I have been going to Maddie for 6 months. My cut and color are always perfect and my hair is in so much better shape! Talented people with a dog friendly cocktail environment and great product line! read more

I highly recommend Keary!! She did a fantastic job on my unruly locks. This place has a great vibe and everyone was very friendly. I can say that it was the best salon experience I have ever had. read more

I had the best experience in this hair salon . I am an Ethiopian and I thought it will be difficult for the to do my hair. Surprisingly they stylist did an excellent job. I am greatful and recommend my fellow colleagues. Excellent place for hair styling read more

Give it to me straight up. Don't let me leave your chair with hair I will never be able to duplicate at home. Kevin Swayne is the man! He is very perceptive, and therefore he will know you before you have completed your first sentence. You will feel like old friends. And we all know that true friends will always tell you the truth about your hair. He combines intuition with experience and superb skill to send you out the door with the best hair for you. I love that the salon is in an older house on Main Street in Covington. Hardwood floors and the constantly changing local wall art provide charm and warmth. He is the real deal and will keep me coming back. read more

Swayne on Main is a full-service hair salon in the Main Strasse area. It's located in a remodeled home, with nice wood floors and attractive accents. I didn't know a stylist in Northern Kentucky and got lucky when I booked my first local hair appointment there, even getting a last minute appointment. I thought the prices were reasonable for a cut and color weave. My stylist recommended salon hair care products, Pureology, which I also purchased there. read more

Swayne On Main - Hair Salons Near Me - Covington, Kentucky

As previous reviews state this is a clean, professional and friendly salon. My stylist was really mellow and nice, I didn't feel stressed about having her take a sharp object to my naturally curly hair. She did a great job evening it out and explaining different types of hair facts associated with my hair. In that sense it was really nice to have a stylist who was both professional and down to earth. On the other hand I still did not or could not convince her to cut it the way I wanted. Maybe a picture from hair magazine or something would have helped. I did feel that she was looking out for me as far as what would be ideal stylewise but again, it wasn't what I wanted. Like most people I know my hair pretty well and had something specific in mind which I've had done in the past but my stylist felt it was a dangerous leap of faith with potentially disasterous results. Overall this is a good quality salon but a tad on the conservative side...if you're looking for something more inspired or off the wall I'd try elsewhere. read more

Swayne on Main! I needed a fix from a terrible cut and thank goodness for YELP and the reviews!! Have to say, Trish R impressed me, that she would fly from NYC to keep her stylist...so I had to check them out. So glad I did! I got great, hip and cute cut from Shannon T. She did a wonderful job on my disaster do. AND...who else happened to be there...Trish R was in from Manhattan. What are the odds!! Haha Was so nice to run into another Yelper! We took some pics together, along with some of her friends she has also introduced to the salon, and my stylist Shannon. So be sure to check out a blog by Trish, as you may find the photos there. What a nice, relaxing place! With great stylists. Reasonably priced as well. read more

Thanks again to Kevin! Another awesome cut and worth flying to Ky for! Meeting my fellow Yelp mate Linda was great and Shannon made her look so amazing! My New Yurok friend came along again...and my Ky girlfriend who introduced me to this fantastic salon were all smiling at Swayne!!! read more

First visit to this gem last week--had highlights/tone and style for a maternity-shoot. Could not have been more pleased. Friendly staff, clean environment, and they were able to get me in for an appointment with 4days notice! Will definitely return. read more

Swayne on Main is the only place in Cincy I would ever go to get my haircut. Kevin (the owner) is about as cool of a guy as you'd ever want to meet. His repartee with customers is amazing (both men & women) and he keeps things light and funny. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

After I was searching for a new stylist I was really driven to this location based off what I heard from other people. Shannon does an amazing job and keeps you entertained the whole time! The location is right off main street in Covington. Atmosphere is also great and super clean! read more

LOVE KEVIN! Not only is he super great at doing hair, but he is extremely personable, which makes the whole experience better. The salon is so cute and located in a great location. I just recently moved here a few months ago and I have had my hair done by the same lady for almost 10 years, so needless to say I was scared about having someone else cut mine. But I absolutely loved what he did with my hair and his ideas about adding some color... I will be back. This is my go to salon from now on and I would definitely recommended this salon to anyone in need of a cut/color! read more

Kevin Swayne has been cutting my hair since I was a child and styling my mother's hair for longer than I've been alive. This is not to say it is because of tradition that I choose Kevin as my hair stylist of choice. I choose to go there because after all of the things that I've done to damage my hair and all of the horrendous haircuts and colors I've received elsewhere, I can count on him to not only correct it, but to make my hair look as though it shouldn't look any other way. On multiple occasions, he has provided me with hair-miracles. Like the time he took my blue hair with an inch of dark brown roots to a pure platinum blond with a chic haircut suitable for a Vogue event. Recently, we spent hours reconstructing my messy, green mop of hair into a very professional, fun, and funky layered short cut close to my natural color with red peekaboos, ushering me into a new era of non-crayola hair colors more suitable for the young woman I have become. Not a day goes by hardly that someone doesn't compliment it. Kevin has seen it all: the good, the bad, the faded, the rusty orange, the fried and he's been my hair-savior through it all delivering tough love and encouragement when needed. He's never let me walk out looking "just okay", both for personal and professional reasons. He has the vision of an artist and the execution of a perfectionist. And so, if you are looking for a hairstylist to keep around and not just to visit, who will personalize your haircut to your personality, profession, and appearance, try Kevin Swayne and let him work some magic. read more

After spending an hour at this charming salon on Main street, I can certainly understand why someone would fly in from NY to go there! Like every good Yelper, I looked up reviews online for Hair Salons when I recently moved to Covington- and I was not dissapointed! I booked an appointment with Kevin based on the reviews and was extremely happy with his service. They made me feel welcome immediately and took the time to tell me about restaurants and different things to do in the area. His co-worker even made a few minutes for me to do my eyebrows which I had not set an appointment for. Their prices were reasonable and the hair cut was perfect! He doesnt use tons of product and his cutting style is fun and inspirational :) I will continue to go back to them as long as I live here and maybe even when I move...Thank you Kevin!! read more

Katie !! Girl you slayyyyyed my hair !! I through alot at you and you handled it like a champ.

Everyone there really seems to know what they are doing although i really loved Kevin i dont think you could have a bad experience here. I really cant say enough good things about Swayne on Main.

New to the city and was looking for a stylist. Read the reviews about Kevin and was very happy with my decision. He is very honest and upfront about what should be done with your hair "expert" A huge thanks to Kevin....I've never been happier with my color and cut...I will return read more

Five ***** to Shannon! Excellent service and always walk out with a style and color I love. She is awesome!

I am new to the Cincinnati area and looked all over for a new salon home and finally decided after reading countless reviews to give Swayne on Main a try. I had an appointment with Keary to have balayage done to my hair. She is so talented and did an amazing job!! She made great suggestions and was very tuned into what I wanted. Not only was the service amazing but the overall vibe of this place was so welcoming and down to earth. The stylists are all very professional but still have a sense of humor and are laid back and make everyone feel comfortable. I give this place 5 stars hands down!! I really enjoyed myself and am so happy with how my hair turned out and can't wait to go see Keary again in the future! read more

I made an appointment based on all of the raving Yelp reviews, hoping for the best, but after my appointment I realized that what I asked for in a haircut and what I got were quite different. I asked to cut some length, about 4", and I admit, I had very long hair when I went in, but when I left, there was more hair on the floor than was left on my head. I almost cried. I can't offer testimonial to how well they treat short hair, but if you like your long locks, I advise looking elsewhere. I got the distinct feeling that they were rather unprofessional, 'scissor-happy stylists'. I wanted to rave about these folks, but I won't be back. read more

I love Brooke at Swayne on Main. I'm not an easy person to deal with for highlights and she does the best job of any stylist I have EVER been to. She has great ideas and knows what will look best on me. She takes into consideration the season, makeup, etc. i love her and always enjoy my time at Swayne on Main. Kevin Swayne, the owner, has a great salon and will even make you a really great cup of coffee, if you're lucky!!! read more

Another great cut by Kevin today despite his being lovingly harassed by the surprise visit from the State Board. He didn't miss a beat! I have never left his station without feeling amazingly beautiful. I simply tell him the main idea of what I would like, and he just does the rest. I completely trust all of his decisions. I say, give him an A+ state board!~Swayne on Main rocks! And a special shout out to Ashley for always making my husband look as handsome as the day we met 44 years ago. Shopping for a new look? Give Swayne on Main a try! read more
