I love this chill, beautiful place. It sounds silly, but this place even smells wonderful and relaxing. Karla is amazing - she understands what you want and what your hair is capable of, and comes up with the perfect cut. Even when my hair is growing out, it still behaves! read more

Today was my first visit but won't be my last. My favorite Kevin Murphy conditioner brought me in but I decided to get a cut and color from Syd and love both! She really has a great knack with perfect subtle highlights. Tricky when you're older and they are so flattering I look better now even without makeup! Which is lucky since I don't wear any! read more

The stylists are great (especially Carrie). But the owner is *extremely* rude. If you like getting yelled at while wearing your mask and following covid rules as stated by the front desk at the salon, then this is the place for you. read more

Fabulous! The space is lovely, Syd did an amazing job on my hair and I was so excited about my cut! She gave me something I could grow into, and we discussed color options for future. I love the location of the salon and the vibe as well. Lots of products available but they don't push them. I'm so glad to find this salon in PR! read more

Allison has been giving me a cut and color for 5+ years now. She's does a great job, as do the rest of the ladies in the salon. I love how things are just a little bit different each time I go in, the cutting stations are mobile so they can mix it up. Everyone is super nice. The receptionist will offer you water, coffee or tea which is a nice touch. They just switched up their products from Paul Mitchell to a new brand, I forget what it is. But I love the products that I use! read more

I can not say enough positive things about A Salon Named Desire. I have seen each person over the last ten years, and everyone has so much talent and concern for their clients. Also, they truly work as a team and this creates an exceptional vibe. Love this place! read more

I've been going to Karla for years. She always does an amazing job. She knows I like my hair longer, but I need something with minimal maintenance. She listens to her clients and offers exactly what they want. She isn't cheap, but it is worth every penny. It is also worth noting that they are an eco-friendly salon and it is a beautiful space. read more

I never like my haircuts, but not this time. Karla is amazing! Talented, kind, stylish and all around fantastic! I loved my cut and everything about the experience. I usually don't like most salons because they smell like chemicals and the products they use make my allergies go crazy. Not here! They use a cleaner line of products and nothing offensive. It's a lovely salon with really talented and kind people. read more

While I don't go here anymore since moving to Northern Kentucky, A Salon Named Desire did a great job with my crazy hair over the years. Maria was my stylist, and she is a lovely person in addition to being a great stylist. She works with short hair, wavy hair, and growing-out hair, which I had all of the above at one point. They are a "green" salon, which I'm not sure what that means outside of using Paul Mitchell products, but it sounds nice and smells amazing, and their second-floor space feels tres exclusive and chic, tucked away above Montgomery Road in PRidge. The only downsides are that sometimes parking can be a bitch, and it can be pricey, but if you frequent any other salon then this is unsurprising. ASND is a great little independent salon, and well worth the cost for great style. read more

I've only been here once and I'm sad to say I will never go back. After going through a difficult time I decided to treat myself to a new cut and color and settled on this place after reading their online reviews. I couldn't have been more disappointed. I wanted a slight ombre and was aware that it would be a little bit of a process but the stylist said it would be no problem with my hair. Almost two hours later, my hair was a shade darker than I wanted with the ends of my hair barely lighter than they were when I arrived. She said she would have to trim a little more of my hair to keep it healthy... a little more meant 3 inches shorter than we talked about. When all was said and done and she asked me if I was happy with it, I told her it looked nothing like what we talked and she just said I could come back to her a few more times to lighten the ends if I wanted. $150 for a cut and color that left me feeling self conscious and miserable. Definitely not the experience I had hoped for. read more

After my first bad haircut ever in my life in March 2009, I tried ASND at the recommendation of a friend. I've been going to Allison ever since and (even though I only go 2-3 times a year) look forward to it everytime. Every person at the salon is super friendly and helpful. Allison is wonderful at remembering the things we talked about almost 6 months prior and she just does wonderful things to my hair. My hair is pretty wavy and I feel more comfortable wearing it that way ever since she gave me some helpful hints on how to get it to look nice. It's definitely worth the money (and I used to be a faithful Great Clips client). read more

I have been looking for a new salon to go to for a very long time. The first time I walked in here I knew it was going to be my place. Emily is amazing, she looked past the fact that i tried to cut my own hair and gave me an amazing transformation. read more

Karla and her team are amazing! Yes, the color came out beautiful but it's the whole experience. The space is lovely, the whole staff is incredibly friendly and you come out of there feeling like a super model . A true gem in Pleasant Ridge! read more

I love this place! I was given a recommendation by another salon in the area. I see Emily. She is the best when it comes to red hair dye. She colored my hair for me a few months ago and it turned out great. Red coloring always fades fast. It seemed like this time around it didn't. I LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

I have been wanting to go back blonde ever since i got engaged last month. So i did some asking around and my wedding planned referred me to A Salon Named Desire. The person that did my hair was named Maria Grammas . I am so pleased. She did an amazing job. She was very Friendly and understood what i wanted. I will be continuing getting my hair done at this salon and by Maria. :) read more

Julie is a wonderful stylist who knows what to do with my boofy/curly-ish/ dyed head of hair. The products are extremely fancy and lucious. I always leave feeling like a million bucks. It has good energy and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Love this place! After moving to Cincy 2 years ago, I tried Pump Salon and Identity (both were disappointing), drove back to Cbus to have it done a few times (!), and decided to give A Salon Named Desire a chance after it was recommended by a friend and I saw that they were an eco-friendly salon. I've been several times now, usually to Maria but I've also seen Amy and they're both awesome. Great cuts, amazing color w/o over-processing, everyone is friendly, and it's a cool space (and clean!). I think the prices are comparable to other salons in Cincy, but you're definitely getting more for your money! Highly recommend it! read more

I have been going to A Salon Named Desire for 3 years now and I recommend it to everyone! They are extremely nice and professional. I have always gone to Allison and she is fantastic. She remembers everything about you, from the cut/color you like, to the TV shows you watch! And, if I've called to book a last minute appointment, she has always fit me in. The salon is beautiful and it feels great to support a wonderful local business (and, in my neighborhood!). And, kudos to Brandon, he is a great receptionist! Always friendly and promptly returns your calls - he is also good about asking the stylists if they can squeeze you in rather than just saying they're booked. I have yet to use him for make-up services, but he'll be the first to call if I ever need it done! read more

We just moved back to Pleasant Ridge and I went to see Karla for the first time today. I am SO happy with the way my hair turned out!!!! She really listened to what I wanted. I will definitely be going back! Had some great conversation, too! read more

I have been to a salon named DESIRE twice and have LOVED my results both times. Have done cut and color with both Maria and Karla and I would recommend both to anyone I know. Love the space and the overall atmosphere. Can't wait for my next trip :) read more
