Square One Salon, Columbus OH

I have been going to Square One for about five years and have never had a bad experience. The customer service is top notch as are the services. Alyssa R.is amazing for cut and color - she asks questions about your likes and dislikes, listens carefully, and makes excellent suggestions.this is not even to mention the amazing shampoo and scalp massage! John deserves to be singled out for his therapeutic and relaxing massages. I leave feeling like a different person! I have had massages in cities all over the country, and his are among the best. I've experienced consistently great service at Square One, from facials to waxes to mani/pedis to the welcoming front desk staff. All are skilled employees who are obviously well trained and attentive to the needs of their clients. Highly recommend!

I went to the downtown location today for a brow wax and had a great experience. I really appreciate the extra levels of safety and sanitation. Quick temperature check and I was on my way to looking like a real person again. Thank you for having people wear masks, keeping everything clean, and still providing a great experience!

Don’t get your nails done here. The experience was great until the end. My nail tech was phenomenal, but there are no drying stations in the salon so I felt a bit rushed at the end. They have a fast drying spray they put on them, but my nails were still wet because the top coat had been applied less than a minute before I was escorted to the counter to pay. One hand was immediately ruined getting out my wallet. Then I had to put my coat on. By the time I got to my hotel room only 2 blocks away all but 3 nails were ruined. Some of them also bubbled during the drying process. That’s over $60 (removing gels, regular non-gel manicure, and 20% tip) down the drain.

I love this place! Right downtown close to restaurants. Kate Wright is amazing and the only person I will let touch my hair. Very beautiful salon with lovely ambiance.

They give a fantastic facial with your haircut, refreshments, and it's affordable! Ydalis worked wonders with my hair.

I have been here twice, and received service from Kate W both times. First of all, the service is warm and welcoming the minute you walk in the door. Any anxiety or concerns you might have about your services is immediately put to rest. Kate in particular is amazing. She talks you through where you are now, how you feel about trends, and presents you with pictures of potential styles. She very much encourages you to bring photos, inspiration items, colors, and more. She is the only stylist who has practically read my mind when it comes to my hair. I can't trust anyone else to provide the amazing skill, knowledge, and talent with personal treatment!

I love Colby! He truly cares about my hair & the quality of the outcome of his work.
The atmosphere is comfy, trendy, natural. Everyone is professional yet friendly so you don't feel at all uncomfortable like you sometimes do at other salons.
I think it's a wonderful place!
Hair services come with a mini facial or hand/ arm massage which I find heavenly and another plus is they put your feet up when you're at the shampoo bowl! It's the best!

I flew to Columbus for the most important event of my career where I was being recognized for a large donation my company was making to fund a help center for children in South America. I expressed the importance of the event and the importance of looking 100%. I explained price wasn’t the issue, I needed a stylist who could give me a formal style that would ensure I looked the part. The atmosphere was nice as was the stylist. From the beginning it was apparent she was struggling. My style was simple and should have taken minimal time. It took over an hour and half and only looked mediocre. The most disappointing part is my hair style fell out before I even made it to the event. I have pictures hugging the CEO of the company with my hair fallen down in the back. It was so embarrassing and took away my confidence in my most proud moment. For a $90 simple style I’m so disappointed.

Walked in, everyone is pleasant, brought my mother in for mani-pedi. $108 yikes.her nails were horrific.apparently they were not dry! Can’t let a elderly person leave w wet nails! Nails weren’t trimmed down or cleaned underneath as requested. This type of task requires a meticulous attention to detail. The nail tech is a nice young lady but needs to know that her representation at stake doing work like this.

If you’re looking for an extremely talented and consistent artist, I highly recommend Eve. I’ve worked with her since I started going to this salon and haven’t once been let down by her! She’s intuitive to your hair type and really takes the time to make things right.

Booked a massage for my wife here. The staff was excellent. The salon/spa has a really cool environment. Can't recommend this place enough.

I have been going here for a few years now and love the salon! The location is great and I love the products that they offer. I have been seeing Ella who I really loved- she has a vision for her clients but still listens to feedback - what you want. Because of her schedule change - I had to work with another stylist this past weekend - Eve - she was just as great! I really loved her fresh ideas and she took the time to help me with ideas for my upcoming wedding so we could start to prepare my hair for the look I want to achieve. They are both great stylists- and I am happy that they have hours that make it easy for someone who works regular hours during the week to still come in.

I highly recommend seeing Patrick E for your massage needs. I’ve been a client of Patrick’s now for some time and always leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and restored.

Colby is AMAZING!

I moved from Cleveland to Columbus in August and have been traveling back to Cleveland (4 hours total) to my previous hair stylist as I have been unable to find a hair stylist in Columbus. Well, my original hair stylist botched my hair this last time and couldn't get me in to fix it. Desperate to find someone to touch up the mess, I made an appointment with Colby.

Colby sympathized with me, and he squeezed me in for the very next day. Colby took the time to understand what I truly wanted, and not only did Colby make my hair look so much better, but he also gave me the look I originally wanted. I was shocked! I didn't think my hair was salvageable to get the look I still wanted. I didn't go in expecting my hair to look so phenomenal. It was gorgeous. I have never left a salon being so in love with my hair. I also have never hugged a hair stylist before, but I about tackled him I was so happy - I couldn't help leaving grinning from ear to ear, being so confident with my hair. Colby is 100% my new hair stylist and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a new stylist =]

I've been going to this place for years, and have referred many people. A great salon that uses Aveda products. Great customer service.

Amazing experience. I was a walk-in and completely unfamiliar with the establishment. Square One and Bernadette did not disappoint. Go Bucks!
