The Studio A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon

Christina is fantastic! She literally saved my hair. I recently moved to Cleveland; had a terrible hair cut that left me traumatized and crying (I had asked for a trim to shoulder-​length and was horrified when the stylist chopped off my hair till ear level! — ended up looking like a mushroom head). Devastated, I knew I needed someone to save it, and fortunately met Christina. She assured me that this was salvageable and that she would give me a cut that I would totally be in love with. She was patient, checked in with me many times during the cut, and really listened to all my concerns and what I wanted. Needless to say, I have gone back to her for trims and will be doing that from now on. She’s really such an artist! Very happy and thankful.

I’ve had my hair cut by Catherine here for the last year or so and she always does a great job! The service at the salon in general has been good as well.

First time at the salon. Owner did my hair cut and style. I have curly /​wavy hair. Wanted a style that would work with my hair. I have tried to live with the cut several weeks and I am not happy. First when you get a haircut usually people will say I really like the way your hair looks. Not one comment… Nothing… So I spent good money and I don’t like the way it looks … Don’t recommend anyone with curly/​wavy hair to get there hair cut at «The Studio».

I’m extremely picked when it comes to my hair. It’s thick curly and long… Matt knew exactly what to do with it and I LOVE IT!

I tried out The Studio after moving to the area and driving by. Christina cut my hair and did an amazing job. I am pretty laid back with my hair and usually let the stylist give input on how I should get it styled. She gave me awesome advice and input.
I appreciated how she explained each product that she used on my hair. Also, I added a deep conditioning treatment that made my hair feel brand new. Finally, Christina’s personality was wonderful and I felt like a friend was cutting my hair even though I had just met her that day.
Needless to say, this may have been one of the best cuts I’ve had in a long time.

Rachelle the owner does a fabulous job. Listens to what you say you want, great personality, clearly knows what she’s doing. Great place.

I checked the Unilocal reviews before I went to the salon today and saw there were bad ones for color, so didn’t think twice. I was wrong.
I scheduled with someone who the salon said was a pro at short hair cuts so I could have a good haircut for an important interview in 11 days. They were wrong. Now, my hair is too short and looks horrible. It took me everything I had not to cry at the salon today. I have no idea what I’m going to do. I know hair grows back, but not that fast.
I am $ 50 poorer and the guy didn’t even offer to do anything after I had him attempt to fix it twice.
I am so screwed for my interview. If it was acceptable to shave my head, I would do so.
I will never go back to this salon ever again.

I went in an asked ombré. After being told it wasn’t possible with how dark my hair was I compromised. I ended up with three different colors in my hair that faded and no my hair is orange and looks terrible. This place is NOT worth it for the ridiculous prices they charge. My stylist kept adding things to my experience for no reason. I could’ve done my own hair better than this. :(

I had a wonder stylist named Kyron Wright upon my last visit to the studio! I was skeptical because it was my first time there but I will be returning for my next haircut! I loved our conversation and his service was excellent! I recommend him to anyone looking for a new spring style!

I just moved to CLE and was so nervous to find a salon or stylist i could trust. Yesterday was my first appt and I am SO IN LOVE. Rachelle is AMAZING. I showed her a picture of what I wanted (platinum blonde) and she was so enthusiastic and told me not to worry she would take care of me. She highlighted my hair, trimmed it and gave it an Aha pui? treatment. My hair feels like silk and all of my friends and family love it. I have never been happier with my results. I found home! Cant wait for my next appt. DEFINITELY give The Studio a shot, an outstanding 5 star salon!!!

It took me a long time to write this review just because I didn’t want to relive the horrible experience I had here. I went in saying I wanted an ombré touched up and left with my whole head being bleached and my hair ten shades lighter than I wanted it to be.
It might have been a miscommunication between Matt and I, but regardless, I got my money back and had to get it redone elsewhere.

I’ve been frequenting the Studio since I moved to Cleveland over a year ago. Renee does my hair and she is absolutely fabulous! My hair is blonde and requires frequent upkeep. If you need a color expert, see Renee for healthy, beautiful hair and a terrific attitide. You’re welcome.

Don’t go here if you have curly hair. I had beautiful curls. They were the perfect spirals and I went in with several pictures of how I wanted my highlights. a honey blond, but they turned out green, after bleaching and putting two different toners in my hair trying to fix it it was a total nightmare! Matt did my hair by the way. And in the end they went to just dye it back to black and still charged me $ 50!!! I gave it a couple days and after my hair started thinning very, very bad I tried to get a refund and that’s when all the niceness and smiles turned to attitudes and they said they charged me for the products used. The owner (she had short blond hair I forgot her name) said she’ll give me a ring and I left a couple messages at at over was at the desk when she was «busy» and got nothing back. Matt also finger coiled one Half of my hair, then I guess he got lazy because he didn’t even touch the other side didn’t even comb it out just freaking diffused it. Hates a strong work but I strongly dislike this salon and will never ever return. It seen almost 7 months and I am will trying to recover my hair. Just a complete nightmare and the worst salon experience ever.

My first experience at The Studio occurred today. I was apprehensive, but was greeted warmly and enthusiastically upon arrival. I initially wanted to get a full highlight of ash blonde goodness. The stylist Renee, took one look at my broken, frazzled mess of a mane and consulted with me. The consultation went smoothly and we reached an agreement that she promised would tame my mess. Fast forward through a cut and color… and it’s amazing! I typically hate short hair on myself, but Renee crafted an amazing blunt cut bob that removed my damaged ends and put beautiful soft golden brown highlights throughout. I’ll be scheduling appointments in 8 week increments to trim off the remaining damage and to gradually lighten.
While I would have never chosen this myself and it’s not what I originally had hoped for, I love it all the same. My hair feels and looks gorgeous. I had previously always scoffed at the idea of a «premium» (read, anything more expensive than Best Cuts) salon, but I will gladly pay for Renee’s services. LOVE LOVE LOVE! I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.
*Also, nearly every individual that came into the salon while I was there was greeted warmly by name. Repeat customers, people. They’re doing it right.

What I love about the haircut I got from Renee is that I really feel that based on how I was dressed and the little she knew about my hair (long, thin, curly but worn straight) and lifestyle (busy 20-​something professional), she gave me a haircut that really «fits» me. Not only will this haircut add the volume I was lacking, but it’s sleek and professional with a young and hip flair. I love it!
I was only in Cleveland on business and had a date planned for the following weekend. I knew I wouldn’t have time to get a haircut before the date when I got home so I took a chance and came to The Studio based one Unilocal’s reviews and the Paul Mitchell branding. I loved the friendly staff and the non-​judgmental but clearly very stylish and trendy vibe of the salon.
If you’re in the area and looking for a change of pace and a little pick-​me-​up, go to The Studio and see Renee!

I made an appointment for my friend to have his eyebrows tweezed. On the phone, I was quoted $ 15 dollars. However, the stylist charged him TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!!! She claimed the price was $ 20 and because he was new, he was charged additional $ 5!
This is ridiculous! I will never again recommend this place ever again!

I have been getting my hair cut here off and on for years. Geoff is one of the best men’s barbers/​stylists in the area. I always feel welcomed and treated like an individual here. Convenient location in Ohio City. Park behind or on the street. Lots of Paul Mitchell products for you PM fans.

It’s been almost five years (seriously? but yes) since I’ve moved to the CLE, and I have returned the the Studio again and again for my ‘dos. After trying out a bunch of stylists (who were ALL great), I have settled on Becka as my main hair squeeze. She isn’t bashful about a) trying new things and b) telling me when something doesn’t look so good. I completely trust Becka with my mop! She does a great job with color too. Go see her.

Love this place! Becca is the color queen. A full service salon with high quality staff. Centrally located near downtown. I have been going to Becca for years and she keeps me beautiful. They offer cuts, color, nails, bridal consultations, they do it all!

well the first time I came, I thought the hair dresser didn’t have experience with asian hair. I wanted it to be shorter in the front but it was cut to 2 inches… I wanted layers but It was the same length. What’s worse, the left and right was not the same length! when she blow dry my hair, she did pull my hair several times. I was not happy.
However, I called and asked them to fix my hair. The owner Michelle did fix the layers and the length issues. The only issue I have is the bang. I still recommend this place but make sure you get the right guy.
