Studio Taylor On Fairmount

Friendly neighborhood salon, not a chain, with great stylists, color experts, pedicures, manicures, waxing, keratin, and all your grooming needs for women and men. Parking behind the building or on the street. My friends have been coming here for years. Now I am. If you want quality, you pay for it. (Fantastic bread store a few doors away.)

I’m a recent transplant from SF and I’m a hair product fanatic/​addict. My current addiction is Bumble and Bumble. My previous hair salon was a B&B salon and I was sad to leave my stylist, Brooke.
I was in need of a haircut — it had been about 5 weeks, so the closest B&B salon was Studio Taylor. It’s true what everyone says about the receptionist — you have to call multiple times in order to get a live person. So I set up an appointment for last Friday with Racquelle.
When I arrived, the place was pretty packed — it’s a full-​service salon, so that’s to be expected. I only waited about 10 mins for Racquelle to get to me — in the meantime I had an amazing shampoo experience.
Raquelle checked out my hair and I told her what I had been doing with it for the last few years and that I just wanted a trim. She was very nice and chatty, which I appreciate. Overall, the cut went okay. She didn’t do the «point cut» style which is when you cut layers and just kinda clip randomly, rather than cutting straight across and even. So, my hair is a bit poofier than I would like. But that was my own mistake for not clarifying exactly what my previous stylist had done.
Surprisingly the price was what I paid in SF. I know my salon in SF was reasonable for what I was getting — $ 55 and up. But I expected Cleveland to be a little cheaper.
So, while I’d like to go back, I think I might need to play the field some more.
