Charlie did a fantastic job styling my hair for a professional photoshoot. I had a picture of what I wanted in my mind and he was able to create a style that absolutely exceeded every expectation!Services: Blowouts

I had a great experience with AV Beauty Bar. The owner, Ari, did my make up for our engagement photo shoot. Then Janelle and Shelbie did my hair and make-up for the wedding. All three are talented artists who listened to what I did (and did not) want. During the appointments they regularly checked in with me on my thoughts of how my look was progressing. They would make recommendations, but never pushed anything if I said no. It truly felt like a partnership. Each day I got the perfect look. On the wedding day, my mom and aunt also got their hair/make up done and loved the results. I would highly recommend their services.Services: Bridal services

I've been rough on my hair the last few years with color and I'm very attached to my length. Charlie was so respectful of keeping my length but being honest about what needed to go. He took his time perfecting my layers while keeping my hair feeling as full as possible. My color came out exactly as I was hoping, I couldn't be more happy with my hair.Service: Haircut

Charlie is so awesome. He listens to exactly what you want and talks you through the whole process. Highly recommend him for blonde highlights and long cuts. Also an amazing stylist if you just want your hair curled or blown out!Service: Haircut

I came to this salon with high hopes and left 4 hours later feeling ripped off. I came into the salon with light blonde hair, naturally dirty blonde roots, and a tiny bit of a pink tint in my hair and asked for a natural dirty blonde color. Before the color process, I talked to him about using a filler to put some pigment in my hair because I knew that dark dye would stick to pigment versus sticking to lightened hair with no pigment. So my hair gets dyed and Charlie said it looked muddy and that he wasn’t pleased with the results. He suggested that we go red with my hair to add some more pigment in to fix it and I agreed. He did a beautiful red color on me but I was still disappointed that we couldn’t go dirty blonde like I asked for. When it was time to checkout, he charged me for both of the colors. In the end, I paid $282 including tip (20%) for what was essentially just one color. He said that we could’ve just done the red in the first place. I should not have to pay to fix my own stylists’ mistake. I also wasted 4 hours of my day trying to get my hair fixed. He has been my stylist on and off for years and is familiar with my hair. My hair is relatively healthy and soft as I have only bleached it twice this whole year. He claims that my compromised hair caused the dye to look muddy. It’s very disappointing and frustrating. I hope this salon can try to accommodate their guests more because the staff/environment was very nice and I would have loved to come back.

AV beauty bar is a very welcoming environment and has a calming atmosphere. I have been going to Kaylee as my stylist since moving back to the Cincinnati area. I have fragile fine hair and she has managed to keep it blonde and healthy at the same time. Kaylee is a sweetheart and makes you feel very comfortable in her chair. She is also very honest and realistic with hair expectations. You will never leave disappointed.

On a whim, I booked a dry style with Nikole. We were in the area for a special occasion and I wanted to do something more with my hair. I’m so glad I did! I have short hair and wanted some waves. It was quick and I was so happy with how it turned out. Thank you, Nikole!

I unfortunately utilized AV Beauty Bar for my wedding hair & makeup. I set up my trial over a month in advance due to my busy medical resident schedule. I arrived to my trial, had full makeup done, then was told that the stylist for my hair and salon owner, Ari, was out of town. When I reached out to the coordinator via email, she said "oh I'm sorry that Ari wasn't available for your trial" - as if it was no big deal that I had half my trial completed and I had used my only available afternoon of the month. This was ultimately rescheduled with some work flexibility on my end, but no discount on the trial price was even offered for this. On the wedding day, every one of us that had our hair done required several extra bobby pins placed before we even left the airbnb due to loose pieces, buns drooping, etc. Then largest problem occurred with payment for services on the day of -- my mom picked up the bill while my hair was still being done, and paid whatever she was told. When I attempted to split the tab for my bridesmaids & I the day after our wedding, numbers weren't adding up unless a 50% tip ($500) was given. I requested an itemized receipt to properly split the costs for our group, but unfortunately it has been 2.5 weeks & several emails to the coordinator, with still no resolution. The only information provided thus far is that the $125 deposit does not go towards your final bill, which is a very unusual method & one that should be explained to clients. The lack of communication and transparency with both scheduling trials and paying for services is terrible, and you don't need this stress right before your wedding. I would not recommend this salon to anyone!

I always knew I wanted to work with AV Beauty Bar for my wedding day. They were one of the first vendors I contacted because I knew they booked quickly. The team was so professional and calm and they made my bridesmaids and I look stunning. I appreciated how they worked with my hair texture (I had my natural curls) and my fair skin look radiant all day.

Working with AV Beauty Bar for our wedding was a delight! Kelly was our stylist for the day and her calm vibes for both the trial and the big day were EVERYTHING I needed. I appreciated how open she was to feedback and questions, and how she reassured me that over-the-top was not necessary for me to feel my best. I definitely recommend her as someone who can enhance your best features (rather than making you not look like yourself, which can be quite common bridal styling these days). She was so kind and patient in trying more than one hairstyle with me at the trial and she helped me feel absolutely beautiful and confident on the day. She did the same for our wedding party. My only suggestion would be to update/streamline the booking/payment process. There was some confusion in edits to my proposal/invoice and resulted in a a lot of back and forth after the wedding which resulted in a small lapse in communication. Using an online platform where everything is laid out clearly and is easily editable would be super helpful, I think! In the end, not a huge deal, but just some food for thought! Otherwise, a huge fan of this gorgeous group of beauty pros! Highly recommend them for a lovely, calm, personalized experience.

Blake was able to give me the perfect lived-in blonde I’ve been looking for, all while conserving the health of my hair. The tone and placement of my blonde is stunning and so flattering. Thanks, Blake!

I had nothing but an excellent experience. Very conveniently located, the stylists were talented and friendly, the environment felt welcoming and homey. And my stylist, Camryn, managed to give me exactly what I was looking for despite my pretty vague idea of what I wanted. Absolutely enamored with the place and will definitely return.

I had my makeup done for photos here and then went back for makeup lessons. I'm really thankful that they offer those. I feel like I know how to do my makeup now. She was able to use a lot of the stuff I had that was not fancy makeup and gave me suggestions for things to add. Loved it!
