My hair needed some TLC! I was a new client. I received a nice trim, wash, and rollerset. A confirmation/reminder text for your appointment is sent the day before. It outlines covid precautions, parking information, and payment methods. My appointment was with Dominique. Parking: There's parking across the street. Free. Semi- busy street to cross during OSU game days. Ambience: a really nice hair salon! There's a TV, many washing stations, and drying stations. Service: very good service. Dominique only asked a few questions about my hair and the style I wanted and she took it from there. Quality: great quality. My hair felt and still feels revitalized. Covid precautions: face mask during appointment. The staff also cleans thoroughly (lots of Lysol use). Price: $$ Look forward to going back! read more

Queen Bee's Royal Hair Gallery - I love my new look from my stylist Shonice!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

This place saved me. I was in town for business and i was in desperate need of a hair stylist. I was going on vacation and needed my hair done. I reached out to them thru Instagram and found a stylist. I communicated with her thru IG and set up a time. The ay of the appointment there was a large footbal game that made it very hard to get to her in time. I had 3 ubers cancel on me and it was making me late. They were nothing but relaxing once ii walked in super stressed. MY HAIR CAME OUT SO BOMB!!!! i LOVED IT. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. If i lived in the area and was able to go more, I would for sure. read more

See all

My husband and I love Queen Bee's Royal Hair Gallery. Dani and Erica are wonderful stylists. When my husband started going to Dani to get his locs retwisted, he struggled with seborrheic dermatitis. Dani work with him to get his scalp the nourishment it needed. As for myself my first time of going to see Erica, my hair was a mess. I suffer from alopecia. Erica's deep treatments have contributed to my hair's growth. We cannot say enough great things about this salon and Dani and Erica. We love their work. Robert & Tyronda read more

Dominique is definitely a Master Stylist. I drove two hours. I didn't even explain the style I had correctly. A style another stylist hairstylist did not translate very well at all. To make matters worse, I was a few minutes late. But when I say Dominique gave my hair life. Honey, she gave my hair LIFE!!!! She gave a detailed consult, got a vision in her head and proceeded to slay. No picture and let's just call what was sewn to my head a rough sketch. She did a phenomenal partial sewn in. Also, I did not find her to be heavy handed at all. But I have been to African braiders so I think this all comes down to interpretation. Overall an excellent experience for me and worth a two hour drive. I'll be back!!! read more

Awesome talent and skilled beauticians!! My hair looked marvelous and I had many compliments. Glad I have a new stylist!!!

Very cozy barbershop with a soothing atmosphere. Made an appointment with Erica for a dreadlock retwisting and was serviced exactly at my appointment time. Got a great hair do; will definitely be coming back :) read more

Went to get my hair cut and bleached with Erica and it turn out well. Went back to get roots touched up with another young lady and my hair turned out to be a disaster. I had orange roots and the rest of my hair was white and over processed. I call to try to get them to fix my hair. And this lady picked up the phone trying to say my hair was damaged when I walked in and very rude. I had to buzz my hair off. I will never recommend them and they will never see my face again. read more

I went to Queen Bee's Hair Salon in desperate need of a relaxer and style for the new job I had obtained on campus. Being as it is the only hair salon near campus that specialized in relaxers, it was the only option I had seeing as I lack a car. Upon entering the facility, it seemed fairly professional. I told the closest hair stylist what service I wanted (shampoo and flat iron) and after a 15-20 minute wait, another hair stylist guided me to her chair. I would provide this hair stylist's name, but she didn't even bother with an introduction. She washed my hair and straightened it for me. With my longer-than-average hair (for a black woman), it took roughly two and a half hours for her to finish. My hair was nice and straight and was almost silky to the touch. She even gave me advice about the nature of my hair. Everything was great... until she gave me the bill. $60. $60 for a SHAMPOO and FLAT IRON. Yes, my hair is reasonably long and thick, but I've NEVER in my LIFE paid more than $45 for this simple service. On top of that, she straightened my hair, but she didn't even bother styling it. MAYBE the price could've been justified if she had gotten a little creative with my hair, but she didn't. Let me put this into retrospect: Last year, I went to a hair salon in Florida, fairly close to the Disney Parks. It was called Bamboo Salons and was ran by a lovely mother-daughter team. I went in for a RELAXER, HAIR CUT and BANG TRIM. These lovely ladies went above and beyond while doing my hair, at one point working on my hair at the same time! They gave me ample amount of advice and told me about the products hosted in their store. It was the absolute BEST service I've ever gotten from a hair salon. The bill? $55. Yes, $55 for a relaxer, hair cut, and style. I paid them $60 out of sincere gratitude. Now do you see my problem? If you take a look at Queen Bee's website, queenbeesbeautysalon.com, you will notice that their listing for a virgin relaxer is $60, the same price the hair stylist charged me for a shampoo and flat iron. And what is their posted pricing for a shampoo and flat iron? $35. So EVEN if my hair was a bit longer than what she was used to, she shouldn't have charged me any more than $50 (which is still absurd). Had I known about their website and checked their prices beforehand, I would've challenged her about the price and would not have paid such an outrageous amount. As the only hair salon near campus that can effectively handle ethnic hair such as my own, I am HIGHLY disappointed in the overpricing of their services, the false advertising on their website and the poor display of customer service. As a woman who hoped to make Queen Bees my campus hair salon, do NOT spend your money there. Unless you know their posted prices and are willing to challenge a stylist that might greedily overprice you, I'd advise you to look elsewhere. I most certainly will not be going back. read more

Clean, Professional, Fabulous...I love Queen Bees! I have been a patron for over a decade, have tried other stylists/salons while out of town, but no one compares to the Queen. Their sew-ins, quick weaves and cuts will have one feeling photo shoot, and Red Carpet READY! Dominique is simply AMAZING! Skilled, honest, sociable and charismatic, she makes every session of "Diva-fication"a memorable one. Once you leave the Queen's hive the compliments will flow in like HONEY! read more

First time getting my hair done since I moved here from Florida. After reading a few reviews I decided to give them a shot. I'm sure she's very good at weaves and the like but the focus seems more about Hair Styling and less on Hair Care. PROS:I had to call 3 times before someone answered but was able to make an appt for the next day very easily. Price wise it was very reasonable and the salon is spacious and well laid out. CONS: She's extremely heavy handed when combing hair as one patron has already mentioned. I am on a hair journey trying to grow back my hair after a stylist ruined it 5 years ago. I feel as though combing so roughly through hair that has been braided and in weave for 4 months can NOT be good at all due to breakage. That made me a little upset that she was so rough with my hair and so much of it ended up on the floor. She told me I had a dread and would have to cut it out. I immediately started texting my florida stylist who told me that is not the case and it would just have to be detangled piece by piece (she's done my hair for 5 years and knows how my hair is post weave). Then, I guess after sensing how rough she was decided to hand me the comb and have me detangle some of my hair myself. I considered that rather unprofessional. She was working on 2 of us and then a 3rd later on so I was passed off onto another stylist. (Another strike on professionalism). I got the vibe that she was just trying to get me done as soon as possible get the money and move on to the next with no regard for keeping my hair healthy. All that ripping through my hair roots to tips is NOT good. It should have been detangled tips to roots.... read more

If you are used to the big city and big style Dominic is the right stylist for you.... and how do I know this? Well I have always been proud to say I grew up in Chicago and my sister lives in Atlanta so let it be said that the competition is steep- a stylist seems like is on every corner. You don't have to go far for good service in major cities. Now Columbus is nothing like that so ....unless your in the Columbus gene pool network sometimes it seems your guess is has good as mine. As well some shops seem more like a net work meet up and for the money I was paying I didn't feel I was getting a salon personal touch experience. Well Queen Bee doesn't make you feel like a number... she treats YOU like a queen. 1. Will answer any and all questions 2. Attention to details 3.She actually will teach you and give you tips on proper care. If your trying something new on your hair 4.I also saw her tell an incoming customer which of her stylist could help her with her hair. (she doesn't pretend to do everthing - but I bet she could!) 5, They also do men's hair. Here I was thinking I couldn't find the top of the line quality hair care in Columbus. It takes a Queen to give you crowning glory. read more

Stephanie was polite, prices were great, but coloring could have been more weaved. I did ask for heavy, but looks like a raccoon blend. No worries, I will be returning because the colors were on point. Thanks read more

The owner, can do awesome weaves, relaxers,cuts and styles. Her bob's are the bomb.com. No one I have met yet can come close to her sew-ins and styles. My only qualm is that she tends to be slightly heavy handed when combing one's hair. Besides that, This lady is Damn GOOD!! at her craft. She is also very professional and respectful. read more

Why does the natural stylist still use a hot comb to straighten natural hair when there are so many quality flat irons on the market? Even in the most steady hands the hot comb causes discomfort to the client. Also the hand held blow dryer is way too hot. It is possible to do a blow out without burning the client. I do not believe that beauty equals pain. My hair looked okay after the process was finished. However I greatly regret going there as I ended up with heat damage to my hair and the experience was not pleasant. read more

Queen Bee's is the best places I have been to for a hair style. The salon has a wide range of stylists who can create the hair of your dreams. From dredlocks,braids, sew ins and anything else your hair desires. I like to think of the stylists as hair therapist,not only will your hair look fabulous but your mind and soul will be renewed as well. Stylists cater to women,men, and children. Its an ideal location is on North High Street close to campus and Clintonville. read more

The atmosphere in the shop is comfortable , no drama, no gossip, just pure honest conversations and have a good time looking more beautiful!! I will be back and also send clients there!! Thanks Dominique!! read more

I've been to this location once and it sits on high St near campus so you know what that means , No parking! I had to park a block or two down and walk all the way down . I found this salon on Yelp & I made an appt for a relaxer for 10 am on a Wednesday and I got there and no one was there . It was probably about 10 minutes after my appt start time and I decided to call the number she gave me . She answered and said " I'm across the street" kind of rudely. Almost like 10 minutes was too soon to see where she was . She immediately turned on the tv to love and hip hop , a obnoxious show that I hate . Not much hospitality while she was doing my hair . Usually hair stylists will at least talk to you . But I guess you get what you pay for . My hair looked great for a great price but customer service is also very important . And an apology for having me standing on high street when it was about 80 degrees would have been nice too. The price I paid is probably the only thing that would have me return but her customer service makes me not want to at the same time . read more

I love this place! Dani started my locks over 10 years ago and styled them for my wedding 3 years ago. They're professional and laid back and very knowledgeable about Black hair care. They only want the best for you and your look and are priced well. For natural hair care, definitely try them out and you'll stick to them like glue for your lifetime. read more
