I scheduled a haircut to chop off long hair. Claire was my stylist. She was very friendly and had a great personality. She was very helpful in describing what she was doing and best ways to style my new cut. (The cut does come with a simple wash and blow dry.) The products they use are nice and smell good. Everything seemed clean and organized throughout the salon. Total came out to around $150 with tip. A bit pricier than I'm used to but that seems pretty standard in this area. I'm happy with my experience and am so glad I chose Assembly! Will be returning. read more

I have been a regular at Assembly for nearly 4 years now, and I need to note how above and beyond this team goes for their clients. Emily, the owner of the salon, is a standout person that is willing to do whatever it takes for her client's satisfaction and her staff's needs. The entire staff feels like they are taken care of, which makes me happy to support them. Whenever I visit the salon, I leave feeling uplifted. The environment is positive, the people are kind, and I feel taken care of. Emily is a genuine, hardworking person, and it's been amazing watching her lead her team these past four years. read more

I got my hair cut for the first time at Assembly recently, and I loved it. I wasn't sure who to go with, so I called, and they got me set up with Maria. When I came, they offered me a drink which was super nice. Then, I got my hair washed and a cut. I'm a novice when it comes to my hair, and Maria was so good at walking me through techniques to get more volume in my hair and products to help my hair maintain a curl. What I like about Assembly is that they aren't trying to sell you their hair products like at other salons. They truly recommend products from any brand that they know to work. I also was able to text the salon phone after my appointment to get more hair product recommendations! They are so kind, and I highly recommend. read more

Assembly Hair + Beauty Bar - Post hair cut - Hair Salons Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've been going to this salon since they opened for various services (nails, wax, lashes, hair), & I love going here! The space is gorgeous, edgy, & feels very cool but comfortable. Bopha is simply the best in services & just as a person! I cannot say enough good things about her. I look forward to my appointments so much & always leave in a better mood than I came in. Emily (the owner) is very friendly and always makes sure to stop by & say hello when I'm there. They make me feel like family there and I even started taking my two step sons there for their haircuts as well. Every single person I've worked with there listens and tries to make what I want happen, whether that's custom nail art or even just working with my schedule. Super accommodating, friendly vibe, great services. Can't ask for more! read more

I've honestly NEVER been treated so badly by ANYONE, much less someone I was supposed to give a decent amount of money to. I was here a year or two ago and had a very bad experience. I was red trying to go blonde. I knew for the health of my hair it wasn't going to be an overnight process. But every time I came in, nothing changed. I came in with orange hair and left with orange hair and the bill was $500. I mentioned it was orange and gentlemen with a seat next to my colorist snapped at me, "it's always going to be orange." The stylist told me doing my hair did not "give her joy." I shit you not. I did not come back, but didn't leave a bad review because the girl was new and I was as trying to be nice. Fast forward to 2/5/25. I made an appointment with the owner having forgotten the name of the place. I walked in and was like, "I had a pretty bad experience last time I was here. and I wouldn't have come back if I'd remembered." Then I showed her pictures. The owner flips out. she said something similar to what the first stylist said that I made her nervous, she felt weird now, I was mean and she wouldn't do my hair." I"m not joking. But suddenly I understood why the first stylist was like that. It's the culture. I said nothing else. Then she screamed "Get out!" at me. The owner has about the same level of maturity as a two year old who's been told to use her indoor voice. She fell apart at the very hint something she owned wasn't perfect, and it wasn't the bad colorist's fault, it was mine for speaking a truth she didn't want to hear. This place really doesn't need to be in business and she does not need to be working in a service industry, it doesn't suit her personality. read more

This is a bias review because I am OBSESSED with this establishment and the people in it! Let's start with the salon: it's modern and chic. All black and white with lots of greenery. The penny tile is GORGEOUS in the reception/product area and bathroom. The wash house/shampoo room is SO relaxing and is separate from the main hair area. The space was built with so much love, thought and consideration for both the guests and staff. For one, there's free lot parking! That's hard to come by in the Hyde Park Area. Many types of beverages are offered here. You get a hot towel on your neck when you're getting your hair washed! It's those little touches that set Assembly apart from other places. The staff: SO talented, accommodating, super friendly and always educating themselves. Under the amazing tutelage of the incredible Owner/Wonder Woman that is Emily, you cannot go wrong sitting in any chair. Get in hers though, if you can! They also have a pretty awesome manicurist/esthetician . Whatever your hair needs, there's someone there that can accommodate. They are hair-gicians. They truly care about hair. read more

I came in as a new client and saw Abby - she did an AMAZING job. She took a more conservative approach on the process and it was MUCH appreciated because she would check in with me along the way to make any adjustments we thought were necessary. It just was an extremely thoughtful experience and I'd HIGHLY recommend getting an appointment with her! Photos attached of before/after/"inspiration" for reference! read more

My hair stylist (Madeline) relocated here and I love it! Previously she had a booth with no windows, but Assembly is FULL of natural light everywhere! The space is big and open and welcoming. The owner, Emily, is super nice! The shampoo room even has windows, which is great because a lot of salons I've been to always tuck away the shampoo room in the back in a small, dark room. The salon has only been open for a week but I am looking forward to coming back here and possibly using other services once they begin to offer them! read more

Assembly Hair + Beauty Bar - Huge open space with lots of natural light! - Hair Salons Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I've been a client at Assembly since the very beginning. My favorite aspect of the salon is the consultation provided. They want to make sure that the color treatment or cut done is best suited for your lifestyle so that you're not signing up for something that's unrealistic. They also educate you throughout the appointment, explaining the processes that are being done and the "why" behind them. It makes you feel very confident that you're in good hands. I walk in nowadays with no ideas in mind--I just trust them to guide be to the best hair for me! read more

I can not recommend this business enough. They go above and beyond in everything they do! What I love most about this salon is the time staff takes during the consultation period to establish hair goals, to educate clients on safe hair care practices, and pricing transparency. Before meeting Maira I never realized how much I didn't understand about the process of lightening hair and how to do it safely to maintain hair integrity. Maria was able to transform my hair from years of at home black box dye to my dream hair. She explained everyone step of the way, and made a long day at the salon as relaxing as possible. Even though I ended up spending most of the day at the salon during this color correction, I never felt forgotten about and was offered refreshments, snacks, pillows and neck massages. I ended the session feeling refreshed and well cared for. I even downloaded Yelp just to make this review because they really are that good!! read more

My stylist just moved to this salon. I will follow her anywhere - Chelsea is THE BEST! seriously, if you need a super cool haircut or a change in color - she's the best. She will listen to want you want and explain the whole process of what she is doing. Make you feel absolutely comfortable. Salon is very open and bright. Tons of natural light. Free parking on the back or you can just park right across the street. I loved it. I already booked my next visit read more

Jamie is AMAZING! I'd highly recommend you go see her for your waxing needs!!

Assembly Hair is hands down my favorite salon. I've been a client of Emily's for the past year and I have only amazing things to say about her! I moved to Cincinnati last April from LA, and felt unsure of where to begin to find a stylist who I could trust, and a salon that I felt good going to. As soon as I walked into the salon I felt right at home. Assembly has an amazing vibe that helps you relax and enjoy yourself. This was a major treat over the last year and I always looked forward to these appointments! Emily is beyond knowledgeable and really helped to educate me on my hair texture and color. She's nailed my color and has helped me rehab my dead ends. I have naturally curly hair and she did a wonderful job on the Brazilian hair treatment I had done in March. I feel I'm in such great hands with her and the stylists at this salon. If you haven't been yet, definitely do yourself a favor and book an appointment! read more
