La Petite Salon and Spa

Ugh, the worst. I’ve actually had a gift card to here sitting in my wallet for years that I’ll never use. I had been here twice: once for a manicure and once for a haircut.
The manicure was the worst. The woman cut my nails all lopsided and awkward. The paint job, a french manicure, must have been modeled after a very cheap part of France. They didn’t even let us dry out nails before we left, so of course they got messed up.
Sadly, the haircut story is worse. After cutting my hair about 2.5 inches shorter than I requested (leaving me looking like a mushroom), the stylist told me she didn’t have time to dry or style it (although my appointment was for a cut and style). She was the worst. THE WORST! When I went up front to pay, they still had me pay for a «style» job despite me standing there with dripping hair while my too– busy «stylist» sat texting on her phone. Apparently, they didn’t have pricing for «just a cut.»
I’ll drive downtown, east, or north before coming here again.

Had my hair done here as part of a wedding party. They were great! The girls were super friendly, fast and did an amazing job! I have pretty thin hair with the typically difficult Asian hair type. My stylist did a a great job with my curly, side chignon. It looked great and I got compliments all night!

I’ve been getting my hair cut and colored here for years, and wouldn’t go anywhere else. The prices are fair, my stylist Maria is fantastic, and my hair always looks natural and beautiful.
I’ve lived in Cincinnati for 13 years, gone to several salons over the years, and La Petite won me over on my very first visit 4 years ago. A real gem! If you live downtown or on the west side, I’d recommend this salon & spa whole-​heartedly.
