I requested a haircut with layers and to touch up my curtain bangs with a double process and highlights. I received no highlights. I also didn't receive any layers in my hair and my bangs did not effortlessly the curtain. Bangs are supposed to. My hair is cut very blunt straight cut with an uneven color due to the lack proper application. I have pictures from before and after also. Please don't waist your time and end up with ruined hair like I did. read more

I would have given zero stars if I could have. I booked my appointment on January 24th so I'd be sure to have it set for my special occasion hair style. I drove 9 hours to make this appointment that I had confirmed and reconfirmed. With less than an hour of my appointment with Laken Hammers, she's moved my appointment from 9 am to 9:30 and her attitude was that it was my fault for not leaving wiggle room. Just a warning to all that may choose to book with her, you may or may not have a stylist at your appointment and be left with having to pay to move a date for a photo shoot. But hey I guess it's all my fault that I didn't coni my stylist couldn't make it to work on time. Below you can see how she spoke to and about me. If you're lucky she can blame you too!!! read more

so I've personally known Lakyn for five years. Lakyn has been doing my hair for five years. When I first discovered Lakyn, she was still in beauty school. I fell in love with her personality and her passion for making women feel beautiful and cared for while in her chair. I came across a nasty review about Lakyn today and I want to refute it. Lakyn is a beautiful person inside and out. Lakyn takes her time and does a great job. I have moved farther away from her, and I have tried to sit in other chairs, but I always return to Lakyn. Her personality is down to earth and sweet. I really hope that you will not take this other nasty review seriously if you are looking for someone who is down to earth, passionate about what she does, and has excellence on her, you need to call Lakyn. read more

Salon Elevation - My awesome cut and color! Done by Paul. - Hair Stylists Near Me - Gahanna, Ohio

It can be hard for me to find a hair salon I love, but this is it! The decor was lovely, I felt very comfortable, and i had a great time chatting with my stylist (who is also the owner) during my trim and style. Sam did a fantastic job!! Even after a scheduling mixup (which was not the fault of the salon), Sam was able to fit me in the very next day. read more

I love that they listen to what you want and then sculpt your hair to that. It's a great atmosphere and they make you feel welcome. read more

This morning I was seen as a walk in. Even though they still had plenty of clients. Paul cut my hair and I must say that in all my years of having my hair cut I have never been made to feel so special. Paul even took photos of the back of my hair to show me before and after pics. This place is truly one of a kind and I have never met hair stylists soooo passionate and into their craft. I will definitely be going back...thank you Paul! As for the price they are definitely affordable. IMO, not expensive at all!! Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your cut or style. GO Here! HW read more

Go see Paul! You will thank me. I left feeling like I didn't look my age and the atmosphere is very fun! Paul does several things at once but you don't feel ignored. He's very creative and I appreciate the heck out of that when it comes to my hair. I don't want an old lady "football helmet," I want fun hair too! Go there. I'm so glad I did! read more

Paul is fantastic! I don't live in Ohio now but got my hair done last time I was home. Always an amazing job. I've been going to him when I can for over 10 years. read more

Salon Elevation - Loved the blue-purple and the cut! - Hair Stylists Near Me - Gahanna, Ohio

Where do I start. Well my stylist for over a year broke up with me via email a week before my scheduled appointment. So I panicked for about two weeks and then began my search. I found Paul at Salon Elevation. Tonight I got the haircut. After asking what I wanted. He asked, you know what I see? From that point on I knew the man had skills. Like Arnold, I'll be back. read more

It was my first time at Salon elevation and was a great experience. Cecily did a great job with my hair (blow dry).she was also able to accommodate me for a last minute spa pedicure. Very attentive staff,reasonable pricing and great service . Would recommend the place. read more

Hard to even give 1 star! VERY DISAPPOINTED, being pushed back and forth between Paul and Ty. He was running late during my appointment. I get it, it happens but another unhappy client comes in and he tends to her. He left me 4 different times,come back cut a little,leave again,cut a little more and leave. When I left my hair looked nothing like the picture and cut we agreed on. It is SUPER SHORT. So much that I have no style and cannot do anything with it.The worst cut I have ever had, Kudos to everyone else who had a great experience. read more

Paul and Thy are the hair tag team dream. So friendly, amazing service and a beautiful salon. I'm from California and I felt at home here in Ohio! Paul has great vision and recommendations but listens to your needs and wants. Thy makes the time fly by talking to you while she does color or blows out your hair. In one try I found my new stylists! read more

As a person who is very precise about my hair, I was happy to try out this place as it had/has great reviews. My first visit went well however, I felt like my time here was rushed even though I had an appointment. The first visit was just a consultation and then I had to ask to have my haircut. Paul said he would see if he could fit me in. I completely understand that they have many clients but a new one is just as important! Plus, it would be annoying to come back a day or two later in order to then have my hair cut. Second visit was better since I knew the process. Paul seemed to cut my hair differently then I've ever had done. Good. But different. My only other complaint is that he blended in my sides with my top which I was ok with but not what I asked to be done. Still looked good though with a great atmosphere. I don't feel ill be coming back too quick though. read more

Paul did a great job with my hair. He and his wife are both super friendly and work wonderfully together. I would definitely recommend their salon. read more

Service from scheduling to actually getting cut was great. No complaints there. This place is incredibly pricey though and that's why the 4 stars. He told me after my cut that it's normally $30 for men but he was charging $25. Nice enough. Said if I come back he would keep the price the same also. I appreciate that. Even still, I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money for a haircut. I won't be back. read more

Salon elevation is "The Place" for anyone looking for a professional, knowledgable, gifted hair stylist..he takes great pride in each and every client who walks through the door. Not only does he determine the right cut for the individual but is able to execute it.. I drive from Powell just for the cut! Thank you Susan for the recommendation.. (Susan is a friend of my daughter). read more

Paul is just awesome. I had been looking for someone to cut a good short bob, someone knows my hair and face better than I do. Found this place on Yelp (Thanks Yelpers). LOVE my hair and myself every time I leave the salon. Yeah, I feel fabulous. Got lots of compliments. I trust him to cut my hair and won't doubt his advice if any. You are gonna need to schedule and appointment in advance though because he's really busy....Thanks Paul read more

I have been a client of Paul and Thy for over ten years. I have never been less than thrilled with their expertise in cut, color and blowout. Moreover, they are amongst the most honest and sincere individuals and business owners you will ever meet. Try Salon Elevation and you will become a customer for life! I wanted to add that while Paul and Thy continue to provide their customers with outstanding customer service, haircuts, color and blowouts, they have a fantastic new manicurist! Just had my first manicure and pedicure this weekend and loved the organic products and attention I received. I can't believe how well moisturized my hands still feel a few days later. Also loved the massage! And the nails look great! This will be my new nail salon of choice! read more

I recently moved to the area and decided to Yelp a salon nearby... Needless to say, there's a reason that this salon is rated so great! Paul and Thy are so nice and sweet. I haven't colored my hair in ages and needed a cut badly, and Paul was able to assist me in giving me a new style and color that is easy to maintain. I found out that they don't do any advertising, so for the salon to be so busy is really good! The stylists here are so talented, I highly recommend to others who are searching for a salon to try out. read more

Awesome place for facials and peels! Brenda really knows her job and is a delight to work with. I have been seeing her for a couple years and use her product as well! I live in Lewis center, Ohio and drive to gahanna just for her! Great salon, clean and extremely accommodating. read more

I recently moved to the area and am always nervous to try a new hair stylist. I have curly hair and have often struggled getting the perfect cut. I feel so lucky to have found Salon Elevation and have met Carol. Carol spent the time to give me the perfect cut and was very fun to talk to. The prices here may be a little higher (still not too pricey) than other places, such as the walk-in business, but the attention and precision you receive here is absolutely worth it. My hair is so much easier to style now and feels great! read more

From wife: Rachel is amazing. I was a little skeptical getting my hair done coming from NYC, where your expectations are seriously high when it comes to hair! Rachel is just fantastic. She did my balyage color and cut, and I couldn't be happier with the results. We bonded over being new moms, and she not only has talent but an awesome personality. I felt like a different person walking out of the salon, and was happy with her perfection to detail. I think it was one of the best cuts/color I have ever had...Thanks Rachel, I will be back :) read more

Jane is simply amazing! A hair goddess: ) she will make you look gorgeous all while having great conversation in a relaxing environment: ) thanks Jane for my beautiful balayage and short& sassy fun cut!! Call and schedule with Jane immediately!! read more

I move around quite a bit and have to find new salons, it's always hit or miss. Salon Elevation is a definite hit! Today was the second time I came in for color. Paul did a wonderful job highlighting my hair and Thy gave me an Incredible blowout. I'm so happy to have found a great salon with passionate and talented owners. read more

Jane W did an amazing job with my color and cut. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

The BEST hairdresser in town. I am very picky about my hairdresser but Salon Elevation exceeds my expectation.

Paul did a great job with my hair cut. Paul and his wife are very down to earth. I will be back.

I've been going to Salon Elevation for years and couldn't be happier! Paul and Thy always treat me fabulously. I've never left not loving the job they did. If Yelp had more stars I'd give it to them. It's worth the trip no matter what side of town you live. read more

Paul not only did a fabulous job on my dry and damaged hair, he fit me in knowing I had to get my photos taken early the next week. He really cares about his customers, wants to educate his clients, and is a true artist. The salon is clean and bright and his staff and wife are super friendly. I'm definitely going back and recommending Salon Elevation to my friends. read more

Brenda has been doing my facials for years now and she is amazing!!! Last facial included a new procedure, Derma Plane, where she removed the top layer or skin and hair. It was totally painless and my skin looks amazing. We also did a light peel and my skin is glowing! Most relaxing hour of my week. Can't wait till next month!! read more

I decided to splurge this summer and try someone new. Carol Smith was very caring and passionate about getting the cut just right. I was not used to a hair cut taking so long but it was well worth it. It is a bit high priced for me so I won't be going there all the time but I highly recommend Salon Elevation. read more

LOVE Paul and his crew...great service and never left there unhappy...ever! Paul has done my hair for nearly 2 years and I am there monthly! Best kept secret in Columbus! read more

You know, I went here twice, and the first time I LOVED IT. The second time, the guy seemed to be too busy. I asked him for a certain cut (which the first time he recommended) and he told me this time around it would NOT be a good look. I also asked about highlights and he didn't seem to understand what color caramel really is. So this place is just okay to me, maybe caught him the second time on a bad day... read more

I have been a happy client of Paul and Thy's for over 8 years. Whether it's cut, color, highlights or blow-out, their expertise is unsurpassed. Paul's skill with choosing the right color then adding highlights and low lights to create the most natural result is truly amazing. I get compliments on my hair all the time from total strangers! read more

I've been going to Carol for almost a year now and she's by far the best hairstylist I've ever had. She's precise, patient, and so passionate about her work. She's always taken the time to really listen to what I want and she always delivers. She won't finish until she feels like her job has been completed with 110% of her best effort! I have to mention the recent experience I recently had with her...A couple weeks ago my Mom came into town and she hadn't cut her hair for 15 YEARS and I finally got her to meet with Carol. My mom was nervous but Carol eased her concerns and talked her through the entire process. Change can be hard and especially change after that many years, it can be shocking. Needless to say, my Mom was completely satisfied and overjoyed by the work Carol had done. I will never forget seeing the smile on my Moms face when she saw her new look, it's almost like a little spark of life and energy came back into her! Confidence is everything and Carol gave that to my Mom and so much more. She even took the time to donate my Moms 9-inches of hair to Locks of Love which was my Moms ultimate request. It's one thing to have a good haircut, but it's a whole other thing when you have a genuine hairstylist who gives you a great experience and more than just a "haircut". I'm so glad to have found this Salon! The atmosphere is great too! I plan on being a loyal customer! read more

Went to have my haircut today with Paul. He is a visionary! Explained what he thought would look better on me than my current cut. He was right! I will go back for follow up cuts. Thank you Paul! read more

Salon Elevation was just what I was looking for. I've lived in Columbus for four years and have been many places. Salon Elevation had a chill, professional vibe where everyone was so welcoming. My stylist Jane was very experienced with highlights and lightening. She was very dedicated to making sure my visit was just what I was looking for. I came to the appointment without any photos to show what I wanted and Jane was extremely helpful. We looked at various photos, had a great consultation and the end product was absolutely beautiful ! I will definitely be coming back and have found a new salon to call home. read more

I found Salon Elevation through Yelp and made an appointment with Paul. Thy mixed my color and she was so kind. Paul did an amazing job on my hair- both with color and cut. He listened to what I wanted and delivered. He's very knowledgable and is up to date on the newest hair technology. I have been looking for a good salon since I moved to Columbus and I'm happy to say I found it. read more
