I have been doing the curly girl method during covid, letting my super damaged hair return to it's natural curl pattern after years of straightening . I had been maintaining the same haircut (long, bleached ends, same length, minimal layering) in case I ever wanted to straighten it for a special occasion. After months of this and realizing my curls weren't living their best life and the fact that I never ended up straightening my hair, I felt it was time to get an actual curly cut. For any of those hesitant for the same reasons, I'm telling you, go in and have Ghiovanna take care of you. My curls are more even and coily, my hair looks super healthy--I've honestly never been happier with a haircut. Trust the process and just let your curls be themselves : ) Also, it was super nice that they had sulfate-free, curly appropriate hair products as well. read more

Karine did an amazing job. Last minute panic to get a color for an event. She took the time to work with me. Understand what I wanted and made awesome recommendations. I couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you! read more

I think it's highly unprofessional to have a staff member of yours cancel on me because I was going to be 10 minutes late-15 minutes late, because of a car crash that had happened on the highway: and before I even got to say that you guys immediately canceled on me and had no sympathy at all. I had taken work off that day and everything for that appointment. And all for nothing. And yes, I did curse at your staff member. I said "what the hell are you guys thinking?" "Why can't I be helped otherwise or accommodated? Hell no, I don't want to schedule another appointment." And what do you mean I rescheduled my appointment in March? Your stylist called me and told me ON VOICEMAIL: the day before my appointment told me she was sick. Fast-forward two weeks later . Then two weeks later I call you guys and tell you I might be 10 to 15 minutes late due to a car crash on the highway and you immediately told me to reschedule. You don't even try to accommodate me in anyway so keep lying keep talking lies. That's a damn shame. So I'm so sorry you guys think "hell" is such a bad word. Also this is all after my appointment two weeks before was canceled by your stylist. Never had that done before by a stylist thought. Hell I would've taken a different stylist that day. I would've even waited . But you guys just immediately canceled on me. It seemed like you really wanted to get out of there. It was close to the end of your hours at the salon. Either way, it was extremely unprofessional and instead of accommodating me by having me go to another stylist you guys just canceled my appointment. Very unprofessional they do not communicate well with their clients. I'd recommend a more established place that cares more about their customers and clients. That's a damn shame because I was gonna bring my children there. Oh and I think it's really funny how you guys said that I called and said to you that I was gonna be 20 to 25 minutes late . No one does that. No one says that they're gonna be almost a half hour late and expect to be seen. So right there I hope everyone reading this knows that you're lying. Any normal person would see that's a big bold face lie. But pop off, sis. Also folks notice the language they use "Sorry for YOUR misunderstanding" HAHA! No ma'am, no misunderstanding here. I understand fully what's happening. Thank you for your passive aggressive message. but I've taken my money elsewhere and my $25 tip that I gave your stylist. I will take that elsewhere. And same to you, sis have a good day, matter fact, have a better day! read more

Satisfactory. 4.5 stars. Salon is well-kept, organized. Services I requested were rendered well.

I've been Michael's client for years and have never left the salon displeased with the services. There is always ample consultation time, and attention to every concern I may have. I especially like that if I'm liking the previous cut and style, I can get it repeated, but when I'm ready for a little (or big) change, Michael can suggest a style, then execute it perfectly. BTW, I drive a little over two hours for my appointments, and it's worth it! read more

The worst cut and color I've ever had! I was there 3 hours and asked for 3 inches cut off and she barely cut off 1/4 inch. I finally had to leave with wet and unstlyed hair for $320.00?!!? I'm 62 years old and have had my hair colored for years. Worst hair experience ever!!!! read more

Fantastic Professional Excellent hair stylists Michael owns and manages a fabulous gem of a salon with talented and personable stylists and staff! read more

I had my first appointment with Jessica and was very happy with my haircut. I had several bad haircuts recently and was definitely concerned about going to a new salon. Jessica listened to me, my concerns and what I wanted. She was very meticulous and took her time to make sure it was what I wanted. Everyone at Salon Bastille was very nice and I highly recommend the salon and Jessica! Keep up the good work!! read more

I felt like I had been butchered!! Had to tell her twice to stop cutting!! My third time there. Definitely don't recommend.

I went three times, overpriced services and you don't get what you ask for even when you complain

I absolutely love Salon Bastille. It makes it even better that it is nestled in Olde Montegomery. Even more bonus points for being located across the street from Starbucks! Sarah Siemering is my girl! She is a great stylist and a great person. You really can't go wrong with any of the stylist there at Salon Bastille, the only hard part is trying to choose a person that best suites your personality. Everybody is super friendly and the owner, Michael, remembers every single client, even if they aren't his own. read more

Contacted these guys through Yelp along with others. I'm working and can't make or take calls. Others responded with 'call us to make an appt' Vanessa with Salon Bastille responded within the hour and catered to my situation. What great customer service! She was very helpful, polite, and professional. What a great way to do business.... read more

This stylish, chic, and sophisticated salon is a must! I am so picky when it comes to hair and Salon Bastille delivered beyond my expectations. Michael, the owner, was able to schedule me for a last minute appointment. (One of those mornings you wake up and decide you need to change your hair color, haha!). I came in for a full highlight, and Kaylee worked diligently for three hours - for such a beautiful result. She is so personable, funny, and knowledgeable about her work. She gave helpful suggestions, and helped me find my best color. The salon itself is nestled in Montgomery, and is easy to get to. Parking is behind the salon. It is very clean, well-decorated and caters a very great experience. read more

My hairdresser moved to the west coast after 23 years of styling my hair. I did some research here on Yelp and found Salon Bastille. The owner called me several times trying to fit us in. I had a really great experience and I LOVE my hair. My daughter and I have found our new home for hair. Thank you. read more

I love Salon Bastille, and Ghiovanna is a master stylist, especially with curly hair! I highly recommend her to anyone!

I was nervous to get my haircut somewhere new, especially because I wanted to go significantly shorter. Meradith was great and I love how my hair turned out! Will be going back. read more

I just moved to OH and was looking for a new salon, and after doing my research on Yelp etc. decided on Bastille. Oh my goodness, I'm so glad that I did. Jenna is amazing! I loved the results right away, but now that I've been home for a few hours and have really taken in the changes, I like it so much that I had to come on here and rave. She took her time to examine my hair and the issues I had (from prior treatments) and made really great recommendations based on those facts. But she still left the final decision totally up to me, no pressure. I went with her main idea, and the color is perfect. Made a huge impact but still looks natural. The cut is also super clean. She did an amazing job styling me with loose, beachy waves to finish it all up. I will 110% be going back here. So happy I found Salon Bastille! read more

I walked in and asked to get a haircut, they were fully booked and told me she would give me a call if there was a cancelation and she did! They got me in so quick! They are so sweet! Kaylee cut my hair and I usually get super nervous on trying new places to cut hair but I was super pleased with kylees work! I have thick Arabian hair which not slot of people understand how to do my hair right but she did a fantastic job. ! Price is reasonable, super clean and great people! Will be coming back again! I recommend 10/10 ! read more

Came to get a haircut over memorial weekend. I didn't have any idea what kind of cut I was going with, just needed some hair chopped off...kind of spontaneously. Anyways, I was greeted and offered something to drink which was nice! I was assigned to Ghiovanna, who kindly helped me through the process, she is super friendly and easy to talk to, gave me a nice shoulder length layered cut , I was very satisfied with how it came out ! There were 2 other ladies there that had their hair done amazingly as well! (By other employees) anyways, I thought it was a good experience, I will most likely come back again when I need another cut! read more

I switched hair dressers after 10 years so I was nervous but this salon was much closer to my home. They made my appointment with Heather and she's amazing! I've been to her several times now and I'm always happy with my hair. Very reasonably priced also. Highly recommend read more

I was in town visiting a friend and decided to get a shampoo and blow out. Ghiovanna (spelling?) was my stylist and I can't thank her enough. She was professional and listened to what I wanted. I had asked for my hair to be curled and she suggested that I try the curling wand instead of the curling iron. I said sure but she could tell after spending a lot of time on it that I really wasn't that happy with the results. I would have lived with it but she insisted on retouching it with a curling iron. So happy with her. I will definitely go back when I'm in town. Thanks G! read more

Jenna cut my curly hair and it's probably the best cut I've have ever gotten. She kept the shape of my curls in mind and gave me the layers to make them pop! read more

Customer service is great here. Michael cuts and colors my hair and does a great job. I have been to many hairdressers in the Cincinnati area and I feel he is the best. The Salon has a great atmosphere and you do not feel rushed at all. He listens to what I ,want and advises me what would be best for my hair. Ashley cuts my son's hair and seems to but up on all the trends. i would highly recommend! read more

I picked this salon based on the outstanding Yelp reviews. You all were right! Jenna was able to fit me into her busy schedule, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. She listened to my current and future plans for my hair. She also was careful to get a feel for how my hair behaves (or doesn't behave, to be honest). That allowed her to cut my hair in a way that would be manageable after the salon visit. Will definitely be back! read more

Great experience. Kaylee, my stylish was fantastic and knew what she was doing. I am so grateful that they were able to get me in last minute and did an amazing job read more

Salon Bastille - After - Hair Salons Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Have you ever wanted to get your hair done or have a spa day, and then finish it off with some Montgomery Inn? You can. Salon Bastille is a trendy boutique-styled salon, located in Old Montgomery, BBQ-sense tinglingly close to the original Montgomery Inn. The place is very clean and sheek. The owner prides himself on having a staff that is passionate about never feeling completed in his or her craft. All staff members constantly take new classes and attend conferences to keep fresh. I had wobbled in and out of several salons in various places in Cincinnati. I was always left with a mellow feeling. My experience was fine, but not great. My hair was OK, but it wasn't really what I wanted. I learned about the salon through reviews, just as you are reading now. The salon has a great online presence and can be followed on Twitter: @Salon_Bastille. I'd recommend Lydia any day. She's kind, patient and super talented. She cuts hair dry, which is unique. When your hair is cut wet, sometimes you can be surprised by what is unveiled after the blow dry, but this method shows it all. She has great attention to detail, and will not stop until you are satisfied. Her gentle demeanor is endearing. Great staff, amazing amount of knowledge in one building. Keep up with them on Twitter for random discounts and specials. Sometimes when it rains they'll have discounts on manis and pedis. It's old Montgomery, so parking is a premium at all hours. But be brave and try out this salon. I am sure it will not disappoint. For more information about the salon and specific staff members, so you can find what's best for you, visit their website: http://www.salonbastille.com/ read more

Jenna did an awesome job! She blended the perfect color and highlights for me. The cut and style was just what I wanted! Highly recommend Jenna and salon bastille! read more

I have been going to Tiffany Bradbury at Salon Bastille since 2008 and I have been very satisfied every visit. She has done a variety of services for me. She has cut and colored my hair, nails, pedicure, and dying my eyelashes and eyebrows. She does exactly what I ask for, and is always a professional. I get compliments on my hair daily, and I tell everyone to go see Tiffany at Salon Bastille! read more

I made an appointment for a haircut at Salon Bastille and was able to get in later that day. I was considering a drastic change in length and indicated to the receptionist my concerns. She put me on hold for a minute so I could speak personally with the owner. He patiently listened to my hair catastrophe and recommended a stylist who had short hair and could help me with my move from long to short. The salon has a relaxing atmosphere and my stylist, Lydia, took great care to listen to all my hair concerns and together we worked out a style and cut that I was most comfortable with. Lydia was comforting and attentive, and took care to explain to me the best way to style my hair and explain her reasons for cutting my hair the way she chose. She asked for confirmation that I was ok with the cutting technique she was using, which made me so comfortable with my choice to take off a considerable amount of length. After the cut, she gave he her card and told me to call if I found any part of my cut and style that didn't work for me, and assured me she would fix it. Not that I needed it! My hair has garnered so many compliments from friends and even strangers! I loved the final look, and was utterly content with the service within the salon as well. I was personally consulted by the owner after my cut, and felt that the people working at the salon were genuinely concerned with the quality of the work and service within the salon. I will wholeheartedly recommend this salon to anyone! Because I came in during a slow evening, I didn't find parking to be an issue. Also, I noticed a plethora of hair products and brands that feature more organic and quality ingredients. read more

I've been going to this salon to see Tiffany for about 8 years. The salon is lovely but what I love most is that it's easy to get in and out. Parking in the back, small enough that you won't get lost. I've been to all the big salons in town and I'd recommend this place to anyone. Tiffany is AMAZING. Since she's been doing my hair, random strangers on the street compliment me. She is fun, she is sweet and she is an amazing stylist. read more

After admiring a co-worker's beautiful cut and color, I immediately asked where she had it done. After 5 years of great service, I remain a faithful client. It doesn't get any better than Michael. He also has a great sense of humor. read more

I really like this place. The first time I went, I got my hair cut by Maddy. I was super impressed by her concern for what I wanted done with my hair and how she took the time to explain to me what she was going to do and why she thought it would work for me. Since then, I have gotten cuts by Kayla and Jenna, who are good as well. I love how friendly everyone is. It definitely beats going to GreatClips, who cut my hair shorter on one side the last time I was there. read more

I was searching for a place to get my haircut and I am a hairdresser as well which makes it extra hard when you are super picky . I scheduled an appointment with the manager and she listened to my requests and booked me the same day with Clara. Not only was Clara so sweet, she did my hair exactly how I asked and did an AMAZING job! I actually cried because I was so happy. Great salon and great staff right down to the woman at the front desk who was so sweet! They have a new customer for life!! read more

I used to own a salon and day spa so I definitely know what I'm talking about. I love Salon Bastille and the stylist I would highly recommend is also it's owner -- Michael Thomas. Michael has a very professional attitude, conducts a fantastic consultation and wields his shears very skillfully!!! Moreover, he has a very sharp eye for hair color. I've never been disappointed after leaving Michael's chair -- in fact, I always leave feeling like my hair looks like a million dollars. While in his chair, I always have Michael's full attention, but he's never pushy or crass -- he's always genteel but warm. I bring all my daughters here, too, and they all love Michael. Try Lana for your manicures and pedicures. There are very few nail techs in the city that take so much pride in their work -- and Lana definitely does. The ambiance is delightful -- and there's always parking at the back! read more

They were able to get me in that afternoon which was awesome. I had Jessica as my Hair Dresser. She did a great job!! I have long hair but need to clean the ends by a few inches. She was able to get my hair back in shape and look fabulous!! I love her!! Thank you! read more

I came here on my wedding day this past Saturday with the intention of getting a conditioning treatment and a blowout. What a joke. Never again! I found Salon Bastille in Elle magazine, listed as the best salon in Ohio and was shocked to discover how sad my experience was. Tiffany was super sweet but all she did was layer my hair in product and ran a dryer over it, barely even taking a brush to it. $47 later my hair was still wet and my bangs were sticking straight up. I complained to her and she just kept saying that the woman doing my updo later at home could fix it. Sigh. It was so bad my mom was supposed to come after my appointment to get a blow out and I cancelled it for her. When I got home she as my stylist were horrified, my hair was flat and oily. Perhaps their other services and stylists fair better but my opinion is unless you want to look like a sea pup after an oil spill, avoid this place. And unlike after an oil spill, nobody tried to make this right for me, not even on my wedding day. Gross!!! read more

I was very pleased that the owner, Michael, took the time to reach out to me to come back into the salon. He stayed late to accommodate for my busy schedule. He was patient in figuring out where the other stylist may have gone wrong and figured out the best way to fix it. He did an amazing blowout and worked well with my very curly hair. My hair is not easy to cut and style but Michael exceeded my expectations. He completely changed my tone about the salon and I would recommend it to my friends and family. read more

I got a haircut from Maddy and she did an amazing job. I will definitely come back for getting my hair done. :)

I made an appointment for a haircut at Salon Bastille and and they got me in the next day. They tried to get me in day-of, but the time they had didn't work for my schedule. They were extremely accommodating and professional. The location is great too - you can park in the back and enter through that way. When I got to the Salon, Kayla cut my hair. I was having a pretty drastic haircut and she listened so carefully and was extremely receptive to my concerns. I showed her pictures of what I wanted it to look like (I had the same style a few years previously and wanted it to be very similar). She spent extra time on my hair tailoring the cut exactly how I wanted it - and she was so nice! I was treated extremely professionally and will DEFINITELY be going back in the future. I could not be happier with how this went! read more

Tiffany Bradbury has been my stylist for many years. She always listens to what I'd like and offers helpful suggestions. She does a wonderful job every time. The salon is modern, warm and welcoming. I always look forward to my visits with Tiffany at Salon Bastille and would highly recommend Tiffany and all the salon's services to anyone. read more
