Studio Posh

I was actually referred here by a friend a long time ago and the whole place is just very casual and friendly. If I still lived in Columbus I’d for sure still be seeing Denny, he is particularly great. Felt at home there :)

Ever since I moved to Columbus, Denny is the only person I have gone to and will continue to go to for a haircut. He does great work and takes his time. Dude definitely takes pride in his craft. The whole staff is super friendly and will entertain you the entire time with epic banter and deep discussions. They also have a vast selection of quality hair products. I won’t go anywhere else.

This place is great! Great stylist, flexible w setting up appointments, and actually have interesting convos which is refreshing
Definitely recommend

Mez is absolutely the greatest hair stylist I have ever been to in my life. She knew exactly how to cut my hair and was able to show me how to achieve the salon look at home (and I am so clueless about my hair)! Plus she is very easy to get along with, it feels like an old friend is cutting your hair. I will never go to anyone else.

Place is a disgusting rat hole and Denny the manager is a pre Madonna with no class. Guess the college kids have to go somewhere.

Mez is 100% the best at extensions!!! Never going anywhere else!!! So amazing!!! They blend perfectly!

Got an AMAZING haircut from Denny yesterday. He did such a great job of helping me figure out what would look best on me, and didn’t let me get any cut that he knew wouldn’t be the most flattering for my face. I loved his honesty and he is so fun to work with. Not to mention my hair looks INCREDIBLE. Denny knows what he’s doing. If you want a great cut for a great price, I highly suggest Studio Posh, and I HIGHLY suggest Denny. Honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever let someone else touch my hair again. Nothing but great experiences here.

I go to the studio on First Ave in Grandview. Good haircuts and color reasonable. Prices.

I can not speak highly enough of Studio Posh and their staff. I have been a customer for three years and have been extremely satisfied with every visit. The price is slightly higher than other places in the area, but unless you are a peasant the quality of haircut is well worth it. I recommend Studio Posh to all of my friends and will continue to do so in the future.

This review is WAY overdue! I currently live in Manhattan and visit Columbus regularly just to get a haircut with Mez at Studio Posh. She is AWESOME. By that I mean she really gets how to cut and style hair. She takes the time to understand people’s preferences. Also, she is great at explaining hair care tips and doesn’t try to push products either.
I went to Studio Posh for the first time a few years ago and Mez was cutting the hair of the person sitting next to me. While my stylist did what I would consider just an «okay» job, I couldn’t help but notice that Mez did an AMAZING job on the person sitting next to me. I was super jealous and the next time I went in I just had to request her. I got a lot of compliments on my hair and LOVED how it looked. Ever since my first visit I’ve always gone to visit Mez and Studio Posh instead of paying for overpriced and unsatisfactory haircuts in NYC.

Before I left Columbus for Stockholm, I made sure to book a final cut with Denny.
I had been going to Denny for haircuts since my original review, and had never left unsatisfied. The studio itself remained clean and inviting throughout my time in Columbus and as an extra touch, there was always an extensive, varied, and current collection of magazines.
Note: I referred two of my female friends (both blonde) to Denny and they both reported good experiences. I can’t speak to the other stylists, but Denny is obviously a talent.

Both the Grandview and Campus salons are gross. Just dirty, dingy, disgusting, ripped up chairs, gross bathrooms, filthy. I came into the Grandview salon for corrective color. I spoke with Zach on the phone, he quoted my $ 75 to strip and recolor my hair. I explained a hair cut was not necessary since I had one within a week. Upon my arrival to the salon I was greeted by a very friendly receptionist and she said to wait a minute for Zach. I turned around to have a seat and there was a ratty couch with a black sheet, overtaken with copious amounts of hair. It looked like animal hair, difficult to tell but it was so gross I did not even want to sit down. Hair globs all over the floor, product in the salon had hair stuck to it. There was a broken door in the back, the bathroom was nasty. Looked like the shelves haven’t been dusted in an etertnity or that the floors had been swept EVER. Everything about this salon was just disgusting. Anyways, Zach stripped my hair and reapplied color. The color was uneven, very brassy — orange on the top and semi decent on the ends. He then informed me that he had to trim just a few ends because of potential breakage due to stripping my hair but failed to mention he would charge me for a haircut. I did mention that my hair looked brassy /​orange, he said it was the lighting. I thought OK, I’ll give it another look in different lighting at home or outside. When he rang me up to pay, he charged me for a haircut too. WTF? Total was $ 110. OK, he told me $ 75. I just paid it and was like whatever. Went home, sure enough, my hair didn’t look right. Called up the salon the next day and went to the Campus salon to have him fix the color. He did a good job with the color but the trim from the day before, is a jacked up mess. He literally cut blunt, random pieces from my hair that make zero sense. My hair is an uneven mess and my color has faded to an orange brassy mess. Ugh, I don’t trust him to correct the cut and both salons are too disgusting for me to return to. I will say, I did like my color after he corrected it but bottom line… he quoted me one price and charged me another, both salons are disgusting and the hair cut or whatever he did to my hair is horrible. Nothing Posh about this salon, I think they would be dinged on every level for cleanliness. Place is just disgusting.
**********Studio Posh gives discounts to those who write good reviews on Unilocal.Just want to let you know. Just beware.

As far as hair salons go, Posh Studio is average. I am a control freak about my hair and only trust my stylist in Cleveland, but I was desperate for trimming and shaping up. My stylist was very nice and seemed to know what she was doing. I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for 3 years now, (yes, I totally succumbed to the ‘Victoria Beckham’ haircut), and asked my stylist to simply trim it to look healthy. She assured me I only needed a half inch off. 45 minutes and 3 inches off later I had reversed a years worth of progress.
I personally will not go back to Posh Studio and just stick to what I know. I won’t completely discredit the salon because of one back experience or perhaps a scissor-​happy stylist. The salon is clean with an edgy vibe. The workers were all very friendly. I would suggest this salon to someone looking to get a hair cut or coloring for a low price and who also has an open mindset when changing their hair.
Some cons (aside from my individual hair cut): The chairs for the shampoo station were uncomfortable, the stylist got water all over my face, and the lighting is not the greatest.
Personal note: I’m still working to get my luscious, long locks back :)

I have long been a fan of Studio Posh. They are the only place in Columbus to get a good haircut from hip, like-​minded individuals at ridiculously low prices. (Plus free bang trims.) Neither my husband nor myself have never had a bad experience, and I never book a particular stylist because I find them all to be equally talented. Other bonus deets: short wait times, good music, good magazine selection, friendly/​genuine staff.

I am new to the area and decided to give Studio Posh (on High Street) a try after reading all the good reviews on Unilocal.I called to make an appointment, and they were able to fit me in that day. I was pretty nervous because I have thick, frizzy/​curly hair that not many stylists know how to cut.
The interior of the space has a grungy, dive bar feel, but I think it works for them, since they cater to a younger crowd and are located in the University district. I was greeted as I walked in the door, and my stylist was ready for me (no waiting)!
Carly cut my hair, and she had a great consultation with me before she started, so that we were on the same page as far as how I wanted my hair to look. She was very friendly and knowledgable.
The best thing about Studio Posh is that they do FREE BANG TRIMS! I have never seen a salon that offers this, and I think it’s a great service.
Overall, the experience was excellent. My hair came out exactly how I wanted it, the price was right (especially on my college student budget), and I even got a discount for a second visit… and I do plan on going back.

Ok, I’ve been going to Studio Posh to get my hair-​did for, easily, 5 years now. I started with Roberta, who was awesome and no longer there due to new baby and now have been with Becky for over 2 years now… maybe 4… time and I don’t get along, so don’t mind that.
If you’re having a bad experience after you’ve had a good one, maybe you should call ahead and book the same stylist? I’m not a doctor but… just a thought.
Becky is THE best and one of the nicest people I’ve met. She kicks ass on hair color and has given me a cut that has received so many compliments I lost track of how many times people have said how they love my hair.
As long as Becky is around, I’ll be going to see her in Posh’s Grandview location :)
GO SEE BECKY… damn it. :)

I’ve tried to include as many details as possible so this may take a while to read through… but let me start by saying There is absolutely nothing «Posh» about this place.
I first went to this salon for a haircut which turned out pretty well, so about a month later I called to schedule another appointment with Shammara for highlights and all over color. When I got there (at 11am) I was led to a Dark room (where her station was) and we discussed my desired color and look and the main thing I said was that I didn’t want harsh, brassy color and I didn’t want chunky highlights. She took over an hour to put all the color/​highlights in and the waiting commenced. after about 15 min she checked on my hair, and told me i’d need to wait a few more minutes. 30 minutes after That, she returned, rinsed out the color and began drying. My hair was not only super bright/​brassy, but my bangs looked like they were all one highlighted chunk. It was horrible. Shammara said that we should try putting some more color in to try to tone it down, and at this point I needed to use the restroom. On my way there, I was stopped by the manager who asked me to come over so he could look at my highlights in a «better» light.” (Seriously, who stops a customer on their way to the restroom??) I was then taken to this odd blue room with clouds pained on the walls, and the manager (his name was either denny, donny, d-bag…I cant remember) discussed with shammara what the best course for action would be.
Eventually shammara began again with the color and once again I sat. and I sat. During this time the hairdresser who works next to shammara worked on a male client. The first thing I noticed was that she hadn’t swept up the hair from a previous client. There was hair not just on the floor but on the chair as well and the client himself dusted the chair off before he sat down. disgusting. I also noticed that she was dressed very unprofessionally — she was wearing faded jeans with hole in them, and I don’t mean in an intentional «distressed» way. She was also wearing an ill-​fitting tank top over a Cut-​Up wife beater (had bra straps showing), and old faded flip flops. Definitely not professional looking and definitely not what any self respecting stylist should wear. I also noticed the old dusty speakers in the wall that were obviously not working as a cd was playing on a boom box. All the chairs that saw were held together by duct tape, and back by the shampoo sink there were these old ratty posters taped up… to the ceiling.
Moving on, after about another hour of sitting with color in my hair it was again time to wash and blow-​dry. And, once again my hair looked like a brassy mess. At this point it was 5pm, and I was told that the salon was closing and that i’d have to come back on monday to have her try to fix it again. the manager had a client at this point so angrily i left.
when I got home and actually stood in proper light i was appalled over Just how bad my hair looked. It looked like a take-​home highlight kit threw up on my hair. So I called the manager and requested a refund so that I could seek a stylist who actually went to cosmetology school. He was EXTREMELY rude on the phone, blamed ME for not stopping to show him my hair before I left (did I mention he had a client when I left??) and told me that the salon doesn’t give refunds because they prefer to have their stylists try to correct the problem. MY SO CALLED STYLIST DID TRY; TWICE, actually so at this point I was livid.
reluctantly, i spent the whole weekend with hair as bright as the sun (thank god for baseball caps) and off I went on monday to have them try AGAIN to fix my hair. When I got to shammara’s station I actually had to dust the chair because there was hair all over it. The floor hadn’t been swept up either. i then spent another 2 hours there and the end result was a lot better, but still nowhere even Close to what I had asked for. the highlights were all different tones of orange, one blonde one, and a bunch of brassy brown ones. Horrendous. Then when I asked to take home a sample or small amount of conditioner (as my hair had been overprocessed 3 times in 3 days) shammara simply said that my hair was fine because they «deposited color In.» Ok, never mind the bleach that was used…
In short, I do not understand how this place got any 5 star reviews. It is dimly lit, (probably so you can’t see their bad work), poorly maintained, and the manager at least was very rude. Save your money for people who are Trained to cut/​color hair. Needless to say, i will Not be going back.

The first time I went to Posh it was a pretty good experience. The young lady who cut my hair was very nice and did a pretty solid job. The following time that I went was quite the opposite.
I set up an appointment and arrived a bit early. The salon was not busy and I was told I was checked in and to have a seat. 30 minutes later (keep in mind there has been 2 people come in and get their hair cut that arrived after me) I am still sitting in the waiting area and getting no help whatsoever. The lady who was suppose to cut my hair was just walking around doing nothing.
I decided to get up, leave, and take my business somewhere else. I think this place would be nice if you have the right stylist, but my last experience was not professional whatsoever.

Okay so I’ll start by saying I have had the same hairstyle since I was 8 years old. And the comparisons to Punky Brewster was getting old, so after trying FIVE different salons in the past three years and each one saying they would do something completely different and me seeing no difference or being completely horrified with results, Studio Posh was a sigh of relief for me. I made a same day appointment very easily, and while parking was kind of a nightmare, I hardly think that is their fault. My hairsylist was amazing and it seemed like she immediately knew what she was going to do. My hair is so short now that for the first time ever (or since I was a bald baby-​child) I can’t put it back in a pony tail. It’s styled amazingly, they teach you about hair care as they go along, but without pushing the products on you like some other places do.
My stylist also said they may be doing some more expansion in the next year which is so great to hear.
I will definitely be back!

I found Studio Posh on Unilocal a few months ago and went to get my hair cut. The girl who cut me did a pretty great job, but I wanted to get some more experience at Studio Posh before writing my review.
Today I dropped in, again without an appointment, and Nate cut my hair. I told him what I wanted and my concerns about having very fine hair and about needing to look cute in seven months for my wedding (therefore I didn’t want anything too extreme). Nate listened carefully and shared his opinions on the matters of fine hair and my wedding ‘do.
Nate did my hair WAY better than I had ever hoped. I wanted bangs and in my head I pictured short-​ish ones, but the long swoopy bangs Nate gave me look super adorable. He also cut it to the PERFECT length with really long layers for a bit of volume. Nate showed me how to blow dry my hair to get the look I wanted. He reassured me that my hair would grow back plenty long enough by the time of my wedding, but I love what he did so much that I will be going back right before I get married so Nate can cut my hair the same way again.
I’ve found my stylist. Thank you Studio Posh :)
