After my barber moved away, I was on the hunt for someone who was truly passionate about their…read morecraft--someone willing to take on the challenge of helping me grow my hair out and guide me through the process. I wanted a barber who would really listen, take their time, follow what I had in mind, but also bring their own professional opinion to make it even better. After browsing for a bit, I decided to give Sabrina a try--and after two appointments, I can confidently say I made the right decision. She walked me through everything, made sure I felt comfortable and confident, and encouraged me to stick with growing my hair while helping me style it the way I want. She never rushed the process, took the time to welcome me, and did an amazing job. I'm happy to announce that I've found my new barber! 18/8 is highly recommended--everyone on the staff is professional and welcoming, and they even have some great IPAs!

Tim is the man. I recently moved to Ohio from the West Coast for school and needed a solid haircut…read more I'm pretty picky about my hair, so finding someone I could trust was important. I almost didn't book because of some negative reviews but after reading through them they seemed not very credible, I decided to give Tim a shot. I'm glad I did. He helped me choose a style from a few photos online, explained what would work best for my hair, and absolutely nailed it. He offered me coffee, never tried to sell me any products, and gave me honest advice on maintaining my hair. Tim is a genuinely down-to-earth guy who's passionate about what he does. The shop has a great atmosphere, the prices are fair, and I couldn't be happier with my haircut. My wife loved it too. I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely love this place! They've been here for 4 years and took over the old Keystone…read morebar/restaurant, so it was like coming back to an old familiar place! It was my first time here. Was a few minutes late due to traffic, didn't get in trouble, but they do have a cancellation policy....since it was a few minutes over, they said they might not be able to do nose waxing, but would see if they might have time...they were able to! It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (like the TikTok videos of people pulling qtips out!) Anna did my hair, beard and neck cut! Amazing job! For first timers, you get a tour, a free complimentary drink, and a premium cut for regular cut price! They have a bar (mostly whiskey) and a cigar patio outside, where you can drink and relax on their sofa and chairs! I'll be definitely sure of coming back again in a few months! Only downside: it's the old Keystone location, so now I have to head to Clifton, because I'm craving some good old Mac and cheese! lol!

Wow! Where have you been all my life Salon Central OTR?…read more I made an appointment based on fellow Yelpies reviews and am so glad I did. Jim is absolutely amazing. He and his assistant Amber made me feel right at home and are so very welcoming. I am letting my silver grow out and after a great consultation Jim went to work, adding highlights and lowlights, doing all kind of magic, and gave me a fresh cut afterwards. I was super nervous of how my hair would turn out since this is not an easy transition for me going from medium brown to my now silver. My fears were unfounded and my hair turned out amazing! Jim blended the silver with my brown perfectly, and gave me a super flattering hair cut.

I can't say enough great things about Salon Central OTR. From the moment you walk in, it's clear…read morethat this is a salon built on professionalism, talent, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. The entire team reflects a high level of technical training and artistry, and that standard is no accident--it's a direct result of the leadership, mentorship, and vision of Jim Brofft. Under Jim's direction and training, the stylists operate at an elite level. Their attention to detail, precision cutting, and thoughtful consultation process consistently elevate the experience well beyond a typical salon visit. You can feel the culture of mastery and ongoing education in every appointment. Personally, I've trusted Jim with my hair for years, and the results have been consistently outstanding. His cuts are tailored, refined, and remarkably durable--they grow out beautifully and always feel intentional. That level of consistency over many years is rare, and it speaks volumes about his expert
