I went to Expressions Salon last week when I needed to get a hair cut before I left town. Little did I know that I'd end up finding my new hair stylist there! I found the salon here on Yelp, decided to trust the two positive reviews, and scheduled an appointment with a recommended stylist, Caitlyn. She is hands down my favorite stylist now and I can't imagine I would even think about going anywhere else. She's super friendly, attentive, and experienced. Just what I was looking for when searching for a stylist! I live in Beavercreek, but the drive to Kettering area for this is more than worth it. My hair looked the best in years. Highly recommend! read more

Been a customer for over a decade. The talent to make you feel and look your best is over the top there.

They went out if their way to squeeze me in! I came in from out of state and I had an injury and couldn't dry my hair or style it. She dried it and it looked good but I wanted some style - she took the time to add some texture and waves - it came out amazing!!! I got compliments all week!!! Will definitely be back! read more

I was in Dayton for a wedding and wanted to get my hair blown out prior to the wedding. Based on Yelp reviews I made an appointment for my mom and I for Saturday morning at 10 am. We were a little early and Nina and Chloe were ready for us. Nina and Chloe talked with us about the look we were going for and then worked hard to achieve the look. They did a fantastic job of understanding what we wanted and making our hair look perfect. They explained every step of what they were doing and how they were making our hair a little "bigger" as it will fall during the day. My hair lasted all day and was perfect for the wedding. If I am ever back in Dayton, I would definitely make an appointment here again! read more

I am new to the area and had always gone to the same hair salon in Nebraska. When I got to Ohio I started looking around and came across expressions salon. I picked this salon because of the reviews and because they have pictures of their work posted on yelp. Due to the fact that I was doing something pretty drastic, I wanted to go with a salon that had proof (pictures) that they did this style regularly. When I got there (pretty early) Kait was waiting for me and ready to start the process. She took ample time to make sure we were on the same page with what I wanted and also to make sure it came out right. I was there for a few hours and she never seemed rushed. She took her time and it came out amazing! I can't say enough about the salon and Kait! Highly recommend going here! read more

I woke up and decided "I want a hair cut and I want my hair colored and I want it done today". Asked a few friends for suggestions, had one call up at Expressions for me and see if there were any openings. This was at 12, I was told I could come in at 2 that day. I was extremely pleased with that! My appt started right on time. I really had no idea what I wanted and my stylist was more than helpful and understanding. Ended up with an all over color (blonde) and just a trim with a little bit of style. The staff is soooo friendly and professional, and I instantly felt as if I knew them for years. I also love the interior of the salon, very modern, clean and inviting. They offer a variety of services, of which I will definitely be returning for in the near future. I cannot say enough how pleased I am with their work. If you want a recommendation, ask for Kaitlyn. They also give $5 off for recommendations! So, if my mom went in and told them that I recommended this place or a specific stylist, my next appt would give me $5 off. Great incentive to keep coming back. read more

I love it exactly how I wanted! Blow out & style, I asked for a Farrah look, part down the middle. Wish I could this myself. Thanks Chloe read more

I spent my entire Saturday here and ended up with some kind of calico-ash brown gray hair and look 10 years older. I asked for more lowlights and face-framing highlights, nothing new or crazy-difficult, it's typically a 2-2.5 hour process, so when 4.5 hours later the stylist finishes drying my hair and It is yellow- blond and orange brass, and some reddish-Brown. I just started to cry. To their credit, they did attempt to correct it and "browned it down" so I at least didn't leave with the top of my head being yellow orange w streaks of red-Brown and green hue in the mix too. Such a bummer to lose the whole day to a process that resulted in a crappy color. The entire time I was there almost 6 hours (10:00-5) I was never offered anything to drink/eat as I sat captive in the chair through the lunch hour while they all got Wendy's, never asked or offered a single sip of water. Terrible experience. Expressions Salon = epic fail. read more

I've been here twice and love it! First time I had a fella do my hair and I left looking wonderful. The second I saw Casey and she is just amazing. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I looked amazing!! read more

Clean feeling place, girls were friendly enough and my appointment time was perfect. I came in to get layers and bangs cut. I showed a photo of exactly what I wanted, and was left with chunky, uneven, heavy bangs. To start, she cut them wet and only turned me towards the mirror to see once. They were lopsided and cut in different lengths which of course I couldn't fully see until they were dry. Won't be going back. read more

I decided to check out this salon after seeing so many good reviews. I had a good experience here. The staff was extremely nice. I lived my cut but my color was not exactly what I was wanting. The stylist did explain it might not be the color I wanted but it would be darker version of the one I wanted. Well, not even close! You almost cannot tell my ends are a different color. She bleached my ends and they were very blonde but the purple she put on afterwards did not take or something and that's the only thing I am unhappy about with this visit. My ends appear to be darker than the rest of my hair but definitely do not look purple at all! Other than that, I would and will recommend this salon to friends and family. My daughter had her hair done as well and it turned out beautiful! read more

Jenn did an amazing job with my hair. I went in for a trim and she made my hair look and feel beautiful. Highly recommend! The Aveda products are also a nice plus! read more

Nina is a miracle worker! I wish I could give her and the salon six stars. After my second visit, I am still impressed. Nina touched up my roots, blended my color, and toned it to a shade that compliments my skin tone. She gave me a chic cut that is so easy to style. I'm relieved to finally have found a stylist I trust in Dayton. My hair needed an emergency fix. A "stylist" at Salon Lofts ruined my healthy hair. It was fried/breaking off - the color and cut were incredibly uneven. The owner of Expressions answered my yelp request right away, even though it was late in the evening, and got me in the very next day. I was a bit apprehensive upon arrival, since it's in a mini-mall with kitsch decor, but don't let that fool you. Everyone is friendly and professional. Nina analyzed my hair, answered all my questions, and above all, fixed it! She really knows her stuff and gave me an education about coloring and hair maintenance. She recommended excellent product to keep my hair rehabbed. It hasn't felt this soft and silky since I was a teenager. Can't wait to go back. THANK YOU! read more

Awesome place. I got a hair cut but Taylor. She did a great job with my hair.I had to bring my one year old with me and we all know babies are! Well, Taylor worked with us and show nothing but patience! She is a great stylist and person. Awesome experience. read more

It's a good thing my hair is still attached to my head or else I might forget to take it with me every day. So it was not surprising that 12 hours before I was due to fly out on business, I realized my hair was a scraggly mess. At 6pm at night, most places were closed or blew me off. Expressions thankfully was able to take me due to a cancellation and I will be returning based on my experience! Wash, haircut, and blow dry was done well in a half hour and was reasonably priced at $35 for the quality. My stylist was extremely down to earth and a pleasure to talk with during the time. Highly recommend. read more

This salon has cockroaches and is dirty. The front desk lady is rude and is always eating at the desk. Extremely unprofessional.

Hands down best salon I've ever been to. I got a beautiful balayage, a trim, great layers, and a curl for a lot of a cheaper price than any of the other salons I checked out were offering. My stylist was Kait, and she was amazing. She understood exactly what I wanted, and she explained everything she was doing and why. read more

Honestly only Cosme here because my usual salon didn't have any level 1 stylists and I had a coupon from yelp. I called and made an appointment with Holly and when I got there, I was told that Krystal would be cutting my hair, by st this point I didn't mind much seeing as I was just getting 3 inches cut off which I thought would be easy enough. In reality Krystal spent an hour and a half cutting and drying my hair when it was a simple 3 inch cut. She didn't speak to me other than to ask how I wanted my layers though I told her I already had long layers and just needed them touched up. Overall, my cut was below average and took much much longer than my usual salon which charges me the same price but the quality and customer service is much better. If you are in the area, I would suggest trying out Pure Elements Salon and Spa as my whole family goes here and loves it! read more

Nancy Penry does a wonderful job listening, asking questions, and sharing her experience and ideas. She restyled my undercut pixie cut and softened my root color. I so wish I was local to come to her regular! Thank you, Nancy! read more

I have never loved my haircut and style so much. Lauren Wright did the best layered hair cut on me than any other stylist and salon I've been to. I am very happy with the results and how nice the workers were. I highly recommend ! Hair wash, Layered haircut, and blow dry style all for 31$! I got mine for only 26$ because of the 1st time customer discount on yelp! Customer service was great. read more

I recently moved to Dayton from CA and was having a hard time finding a decent place to get a cut. I found this place and it turned out to be a great find. It's unassuming from the outside but it was actually one of the best cuts I've had in a while - even in CA. I had Jenn, she was awesome. This is now my go to place for a great, reasonably priced cut. read more

I really enjoy going to expressions. All the hair stylists are excellent. Elaine at the front desk is beyond sweet and cheerful. She always makes one feel welcomed. Some of the other receptionists can be a little standoffish but don't let that stop you. The quality of the services are top notch. The salon is decorated is fun relaxing colors. I hope they obtain a massage therapist soon. I miss that feature. Great job everyone. Keep up the great work. read more

Got me in quickly for an appointment with Nina. Love my highlights and cut/style. She is so sweet and made sure I was happy with her work. I'll be back for sure!! read more

Desiree is the best!!! I made a last minute appointment for a holiday party and I was so pleased with the outcome! I showed Desiree a picture of the hair style that I wanted and she gave me exactly what I was looking for. She also talked me through the whole process so that I could recreate the style on my own. read more

Had my hair done tonight, pedicure and gel nails last week! I look great :-) Everyone was very professional and the rates are very reasonable. Get everything done at one place including massages and waxing too! read more

Worst haircut I've ever had. If employee spent more time listening to what I wanted than trying to sell me products I wouldn't have lost 3 inches of hair and $50 to get my hair done somewhere else. Also haircuts are $30 so the $40 for $30 is a scam. read more

Nina is the best! I was growing out a terrible cut and Nina gave me a terrific haircut. She listened to me and did exactly what I wanted. But even better, is that my hair looked just as great when I styled it. She is extremely talented. Also, nice salon and the other stylists are very friendly. I'll be back. read more
