Money piece
Cathy M.

After trying a few different salons and stylists, I'm so glad to have found Dottie at Tame. I went in for a cut and a money piece, and Dottie crushed it. She asked plenty of questions and was upfront with me on what we could achieve, how much she recommended cutting...made me feel so confident that I was going to walk away with amazing hair. And I did! Highly recommend Dottie; you won't be disappointed.

I found Tame Salon on Groupon because they had a great deal for a balayage so I decided to try it! I've never gotten a balayage but figured this would be a great opportunity. I was able to schedule someone pretty quick, but he Groupon did not say you could not schedule with Rachelle for the weekends, which was who I originally scheduled with and wanted. It was not a big deal as they were able to squeeze me in with Raemi the same day. When you get there it is kind of confusing to find, but the inside of the salon is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. I cannot remember the employee at the front desk, but we chatted and she offered me something to drink right away. I definitely felt welcomed! Raemi was hilarious. We had some life chats and definitely connected on a personal level. I showed her a picture of a balayage that I wanted and it was a red brown color. After my hair was done, the color turned out almost dirty blonde. I honestly tried not to show it, but I did not like it. I think Raemi caught on and she was quick to offer to fix it because I told her I wanted a warm red. I am jus the type of person who feels uncomfortable to say when i don't like something, but I am glad I did. Rachelle helped with the color mixture too. The new color came out a deep red brown and I LOVED it. My friends raved about my hair color and I could not be happier. The only thing was that they charged me an extra $10 and never told me why, but I am guessing for the redye? She never told me why. At that point I was already there for almost 3 hours and did not question it. Now this is where the 3 stars comes in unfortunately...I waited about 2 days to wash my hair and the color I walked out of the salon with faded so fast. I went into work that Monday and someone had asked if my hair was orange. It made me so self conscious about my hair and after one wash it turned into a copper color. I was extremely disappointed because I wanted the red color to last at least a couple of weeks :( I thought everyone was nice, funny, and personal so I had no issues with the employees. I'm just not satisfied with my hair and I understand I had a Groupon, but I still paid a decent amount.

Love the vibes here cool people who love what they do!! Had my hair done by Raemi! She did a great job at achieving my hair goals! She is a perfectionist and was honest about what we could achieve during my session. I highly recommend this place!! I got highlights/a little balayage with haircut.

I never write bad reviews so this is unfortunate. I've been getting my hair colored for over 10 years and while I've had bad haircuts, this is the only experience with my color being botched. When looking for someone who specializes in balayages, I called into Tame and was referred to Grace. When I got to the salon, I showed her photos of my hair fresh after I usually get it done and she said she could do it. However, I did not end up with a balayage.. I ended up with chunky, uneven highlights that came out patchy and orange. I usually have a blonde balayage blended very well due to my naturally dark hair. I expressed my dislike and after review, other stylist confirmed it wasn't what I'd asked for and shared some constructive comments on where she went wrong. They said they would fix it so I went in early on a Saturday to have multiple people work on my hair and another woman directing her on how to do my hair. I'm not sure what happened but my hair is now now a blend of the orange tones along with other lighter pieces mixed in and my roots are starkly dark compared to the lighter ends so it actually looks like I haven't been to the salon in 6 months and need a touch up which is just as wild as the first experience. What's more unfortunate is that I was charged much more than what I was quoted and I paid $345.60 (20% tip) for the service and I honestly feel robbed and worse.. insecure walking around with my hair looking like this. If you're looking to get a balayage done, please look elsewhere. I would hate for someone else to make the same costly mistake. Other than that, the stylists are nice so I'm disappointed in how things panned out.

These ladies are DEFINITELY the Blonde Experts, among all the other wonderful beautification services they have to offer! In preparation for an upcoming trip, I was on the search for a salon that would be able to correct the disaster I had made of my hair. I typically enjoy having my hair with light, almost white or silver blonde, but I had "experimented" with other colors and this had left my hair three different colors! I needed some help! I went to The Yelp Community to get their advice on a salon. I find one that sticks out... they have 5 stars and the reviews were great! And the pictures they posted reassured me I was looking into the right place. When I called Tame Salon, Kim gave me a warm greeting and I asked if there was any way I could get a consultation. She promptly got my paired up with Rachelle Bruce fir later that day. I was eager to see what Rachelle had to say about my disaster and if she could save me. The salon is very quaint but it gives off the perfect little boutique feel when you arrive. I was offered cake, wine or coffee as I walked in the door and was pleased to see business was booming here. I knew they had to be doing things right! Rachelle sat me down and in a matter of 5 minutes tops, she knew what we needed to do to get my hair back to the way I wanted it. They scheduled the appointment for me exactly when I wanted it and I couldn't wait! ** They provide text reminders for your appointments and confirmations! Love it! ** Upon my return for my appointment, I walk in and am greeted by name! THAT does not happen often in a place I have only been to once before, that was awesome! Rachelle was running a bit behind but I realize why... you cannot rush perfection and you never rush an expert! We took before pics and she was off to work! I told her I wanted to be surprised so she made sure to keep me out of the direction of the mirror. The conversation with Rachelle, Cheyanne, Nikki (hope I spelled your names correctly, ladies) was great! They were all very relaxed and extremely entertaining! After about 3 hours, Rachelle was done and had taken all the foil off, rinsed my hair, and since I didn't want to see it until it was done, she TOLD me it had turned out even better than she had hoped! OMG, was I excited to see it! She trimmed, textured and styled my hair and the end result was worthy of the red carpet and much more! I would HIGHLY recommend Tame Salon to anyone wanting great atmosphere and expert stylists that are worth every cent!! I am definitely going back! Love you, Rachelle and all of the Tame Salon ladies!

Niki added a row of extensions to thicken my hair and also touched up my money pieces. I've never loved my hair more. If you're looking for a new salon, I highly recommend this one; the staff always does an amazing job, and it's a great environment to be in!!

I have been looking for a salon since movie to the far East side. Looked up blond hair specialist on Google and Tame was one the popped up. This is now my second time going now. I will definitely recommend Tame. Love the atmosphere and the ladies are really fun group. Renee is now my go to, she gave me the color I have been trying to get that no one else at other salons could. Plus she gave me very helpful information on maintenance. Niki the owner is really great and very funny. Definitely go check the ladies out.

Tame Salon is a cute boutique located in Gahanna. I love how diverse the employees are, equipped to handle any head of hair. My main squeeze is Rachel Bruce, the only woman I trust to cut my hair appropriately. We've been together for a long time and I'll follow her anywhere. The salon is set up smartly, with the styling and washing taking place in two separate rooms. The decor is modern as well. There is a place to hang your coat as soon as you step inside (or your umbrella depending on the day). Everyone there is sweet and many times another stylist has struck up a conversation with me which has never happened at another shop. It says a lot about the friendly environment Tame has created for their employees and clients. It's super easy to book an appointment online and you can call in if you have any questions about the services offered.

Fresh color and extensions,

Niki is such a positive and uplifting person. Being there to get my hair done is like a therapy session also. She has a way of lifting me up and just creating such confidence. Also my hair always looks fabulous!!

Given the multi-locations and multi-techs it took awhile to book a time that suited me. I did think they are overpriced compared to other nail salons. I had a very pleasant experience in person. I walked in and checked in on the tablet, making it very easy. I used the restroom and saw a coffee/cocktail bar that surprised me a bit. I did get a glass of water at the self-serve desk by the entrance. I sat in a comfortable chair and when my tech was ready, I was seated at her station. Great pedi and I liked Selma who wasn't pressured to make conversation. I'm good with quiet. She put me at a different seat to use the nail dryer. My toes look great. After the pedi and as I was being moved, I accidently knocked my water glass off the side of the chair. It broke and made a mess. They didn't yell at me. I felt bad, but someone quickly arrived with a broom and dustpan. At the check out desk, I was informed I got 25% off as it was my first visit. Yay! I used my giftcard and have $ leftover. They expect cash tips so I put $ in an envelope for Selma. It is a very pretty salon and I would recommend it for a first timer.

First off, she was late, which already messed up our schedule. Not a huge deal, but then she doesn't have foundation. If we only had one makeup artist, there would have been no solution. She then goes on to complain about clients requesting "no makeup makeup" looks, this is what pretty much the entire bridal party had asked for. Really bizarre to comment on in front of any clients. I have had other experiences with Penzone that were never like this, it just was really uncomfortable for everyone. I had hyped up Penzone to everyone and then 2 of my friends were ridiculed and not happy with their looks.

Oooh she needs more than five stars!…read more If you are reading this now, you have found the colorist to go to. I cannot express how talented a colorist she is... she really is just magical I found Tina through a yelp search after a stylist earlier that week gave me the weirdest highlights making me not feel good about my appearance. I was a bit nervous as I knew no one who went to her but all her reviews were good, so I took a chance and booked with her. So glad I did! Her shop is easy to find, right off Zarley kind of behind the vet and across from Trove Furniture. The moment I walked into her shop I knew she was going to be great. The shop was spotless. She is the sole stylist and the shop has a warm a comfortable vibe. From the moment I sat in her chair she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I knew I had found the right person. Tina not only fixed the other stylist's many mistakes but she made my hair transform from a once brassy weird brown mess into the most amazing shade of blonde. It looks so vibrant and the highlights seem so natural! I can pull my hair into a ponytail and its now all the same shade. I will be going back to Tina! I will also be telling everyone looking for a stylist to call her immediately. She is fabulous. Don't think twice. Book now!

Did a nice job on my weave. I'll give her that and that's where it stops. I've had my hair…read moreprofessionally weaved from L.A. To Phoenix to Ohio and now here in Florida and have NEVER encountered a dumpier location and a worse attitude than here. She "upcharges" you for everything, like if your hair is "too" long. What?? I've never heard of such a thing in my life. Her Hair "gallery", which is a joke, consists of 4 wigs and a mouthy daughter who interrupts in adult conversations, as if she's grown, with nary a peep from her mother. Her "gallery" was such a disaster, I thought it was abandoned at first. I love good gospel music, just as much as anyone, I'm even a gospel singer and songwriter myself, but really, does it have to be so loud you can't hear yourself think? She talks about the comfort of her clients without offering a drink of water. While watching her daughter scrubbing up wigs and sloppily brushing them out while hanging half of them on the floor. Hmmm. While the bill gets higher and higher with her "upcharges". The worse though, is that you can't even contact her for after-care, such as a wash, or tighten. It's disgraceful that she tells a paying client when you've got them on the telephone that they'll have to hang up and navigate through this maze of a website (which seldom works or shows the needed options, mind you) to make an appt for her precious time when you're right there on the phone talking to her! Has she not heard of an appt book or even google CALENDAR!!? I've left several messages for her, via phone and website and not ONE response. I'm a willing customer, ready to part with cash and this is the irresponsible behavior I get?!! I've seen her facebook page and she offers advice, etc., which I can get on Youtube BTW and I'm sure she'll respond by saying every word I say is not true, but I have nothing to gain from criticizing her horrible work ethic. Just a friendly warning if you value your time and money and don't want to waste it on "up charge" this and "up charge" that, then save it and go elsewhere where true professionals will really give you the service you deserve. Do what you like, but as for me, I would not send my maltese to her for grooming. I'm sure there would be an up charge.
