I was taken right away, and enjoyed my haircut. Staff was pleasant and knowledgeable.

Danielle is wonderful!! I get SO many compliments on my hair!

Love this shop, Love Gia! Best short cut ever!

I've been going here for a couple years now and have never had anything short of an exceptional service! I've seen Bailey, Danielle, and Jackie for maintenance trims and consultations, and they all have provided exceptional service and recommendations for my lifestyle and hair type. I most recently had a service with Bailey, who was absolutely great at helping me figure out why my hair was falling flat even though it's quite wavy, and they gave me a bunch of tips on how to get my bangs to lay the way I want. Each time I've scheduled a service they reach out in advance and ask if there's a certain look or reference photos (which is super helpful if you're indecisive like me) and then afterwards they reach out a few days later to make sure it's working with your routine and ask if you need any alterations! I've never been to another salon that does that, previously I've just have to wait until my next appointment to let other salons know what I did or didn't like about my haircut (which leaves me to sort it out with a pair of scissors in the interim). Everyone there is super nice and I feel like they actually care about me and my hair, and are not just pushing product at me. At each service they had me leaving the salon feeling like a supermodel, and totally made my day.

I came to Carmela after a very bad cut from another salon about a mile nth ago. I asked for her help—instantly she knew what to do to make my hair look natural as it grows out. She’s a great conversationalist. I had a very nice time getting to know her. In addition to a lovely cut, she gave me a wonderful color to my hair. It was just the shade I wanted. The salon itself is bright, cheerful, and cozy. Parking in back. Very clean and just a pleasant visit. I’ll be back for sure.

Had a wonderful visit. Love this salon !

All I have to say is wow. After a color and cut mishap at a different local salon, I saw Danielle today and she totally transformed my hair. She’s an artist and I’m definitely returning. Her assistant was also wonderful. Overall a very relaxing and great experience.

Bailey listened, heard and gave me a fun precise cut! She suggested product without pressure!! Amazing!

I always love what Danielle does with my hair. She “gets me” :)

Excellent, as usual. Pleased with the cut, the color, the advice, and, of course, the perfect curly blowout. Oh, and perfect brow tint and wax!

Luv the atmosphere, stylist are amazing!

They were super flexible and had me leaving the salon way more confident!! 100% recommend

I don’t live close by but have made a special trip to come here because every time I do, they always do an excellent job. Even their hairstylists just starting out in their career do such a good job and the more experienced hairstylists give them extra support. They also have great customer service.

Philosophi is an amazing, welcoming salon where you are guaranteed to get your moneys worth and more. Danielle has been doing my hair for less than a year, but already in that time I can tell you that I will never let another person touch my head. She’s the best! Every time my vision comes to life, and even I even trust giving her complete creative control. They don’t try to obsessively upsell you or sell products, which I really appreciate because I enjoy a no pressure experience. It’s always a treat to go there because I know not only will my hair be treated with the utmost care, I can also count on great conversation and good vibes!

Madison did a wonderful job adding some layers and movement to my fine hair without sacrificing volume. I'm delighted once again!

fantastic salon, full of fantastic inclusive people 🩵🩷🤍

I received a haircut from Madison — who is an apprentice at the salon — and am very satisfied with the results! Another stylist (Brittany) had to approve the work and touched it up a little bit, but they took my opinions into account and Madison even followed up with me to check on the haircut after a few days. I also really like their system of going over your preferences using a form in the beginning of the appointment. It clarifies expectations and helped to ease my worries. The check in and check out process was a little strange, but I would definitely go back! They also validate garage parking here.

Carmela was so nice and helpful and my hair turned out perfect. I wanted to make my grown out highlights subtle but still noticable and they look great! She also does a great blowout!!

This was my first time here. Brittany was awesome. She listened and communicated throughout the cut. She gave me exactly what I wanted. Love it!!

As always, from walking in to leaving everything went perfectly. Discussed my cut with Bailey, she confirmed & executed my desired result! Couldn’t be happier!

Both Danielle and Jax took such good care of me after I had received a bad color and cut at another salon. I left much happier and am grateful they took the time to listen and remedy the problem I came in with. I will definitely be back!

Danielle is the BEST!!! She always listens to what my needs are and then creates magic with my hair!!!

One of the best salons in Columbus.

Thank you Carmela 🙏 Philosophi is not just for youthful hair style clients. As a previous long term client of Phia, I’ve returned a few lifetimes later to Philosophi with different hair and goals. Previously, my hair could not be long enough or highlighted enough! My current more mature self is dealing with changing texture and ever increasing “sparklers” that I am choosing to embrace not color. Seeking to tame the unruliness and attempt a graceful aging process instead. This will be possible now with guidance from Carmela. In one sitting, she taught me so much about having coarse or wavy hairs after having straight thin hair my entire life. It’s a whole new ball game! She listened she understood she educated she worked with me. And I’m following her advice closely. I’m so glad to have the right hair style partner now, as my hair will continue to change. We are on a journey and I have every confidence she will help me look my best 🤩

Ariel is the best. Takes her time talking before and I always walk out loving what she did.

Always pleased. Clean place. Friendly services. 5 stars! Worth every penny for the satisfaction of a great cut.

The salt room was so therapeutic, relaxing, and healing. We will definitely be back!

Had a great experience today! Had fun picking a fantastic color. Ariel does a spectacular job with color advice and hair care. I recommend Ariel for your color needs as she is very thorough and thoughtful.

Ariel is amazing! She’s so friendly, and she knows exactly what my hair needs every time! She the hairstylist I’ve been looking for my whole life!

Danielle always achieves what I want! She listens, we discuss and you feel heard. I’m a brunette with stubborn hair and I love being blonde. She works magic!

Danielle did a great job as usual. The color was perfect, she always delivers on what my hair goals are each visit.

Wonderful visit. She listened to what I wanted, and I love my hair now!

Always a great cut and conversation with Aerial

Bailey is the best! Great haircut and great conversation. Highly recommend.

This was my first service at Philosophi and with Brittany after my previous stylist of 8 years moved. I have some “hair trauma” and I was so happy to work with Brittany! She was kind, patient, informative, and knowledgeable. She talked me through each step of my haircut and I really appreciated the thorough communication. I will definitely be back! Thanks again Brittany!

I would give Danielle an excellent plus plus if that was a possibility!! Today was my first visit at Philosophi . Danielle is certainly a color expert extraordinaire! She spent a long time assessing my current colored hair status, then offered several options to reduce/eliminate the brassiness. She then did her mathematical mixing magic to produce a softer, more sun-kissed color. She is equally gifted with scissor skills. If you are looking for a hair artist Danielle is definitely the one you want to book an appointment with!

Danielle is THE BEST STYLIST IN THE WORLD!

Danielle did an amazing job with my balayage and cut! Fabulous stylist!

Love love love!! Thank you Brittany for always going the extra mile for me, and always talking with me as well! I really enjoy our conversations and the accommodations you make for me. It makes it all the more enjoyable, I can’t wait to get my haircut by you again. Thank you so much! <3 :) (This place is Hijabi friendly!)

They said it couldn’t be done! That doesn’t stop the stylists at the Philosophi Salon! Great group of persons and marvelous space.

Danielle is a hair queen!! After the long journey of looking for someone who understands my hair, I feel like I am home. Thank you to Sam for reaching out and making everything work out. Philosphi salon is one of a kind.
