Philosophi Salon
Philosophi is a sibling of the successful Phia Salon in the Short North Arts District, Philosophi can be enjoyed by everyone, but was created with the needs of those who are gluten-sensitive in mind. At Philosophi our hair color and retail products are either entirely gluten free or are formulated without gluten.

Our professional staff is also committed to the gluten-aware environment. Our clients and staff say it all. Their happiness has proven the success of the Phia Salon concept. We've blended the excitement, support, and development potential of larger companies and salons, with an entrepreneurial spirit of a small, locally-owned company.

The best beauty care and hair cut I have had in a long time. My stylist checks in with me following my appointments to see how my cut is working out for me. A separate stylist gave me a blow out that was exactly what I wanted. This is an actual spa experience tailored to your desires. My stylist consulted with me extensively before moving forward on a major change.
Philosophi is located in the eclectic Clintonville area, and offers a gluten-sensitive environment. We thrive on feedback and want to keep in contact with our guests. NOTICE OF FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY When you enter any Phia Concepts location, you enter an area where photography, audio, and video recording may occur.
Many sources suggest that other than lipstick and hand lotion (which may be ingested), there is no need to avoid gluten in personal care products. Some staff and clients, though, claim to have different experiences. One employee who is sensitive to gluten in her food finds that gluten-containing products give her a skin rash.
Aerial began her education at Aveda over 5 years ago and prefers perfection over speed & enjoys doing a variety of styles. Behind the chair you'll find her playing around with different balayage techniques & fantasy colors; along with clipper cuts, beard trims & more. Aerial wants to make your hair dreams come true.

As usual Gia did a fabulous job on my hair. She is always professional, listens to me and I trust her recommendations. So much so that she suggested that I let her dye my eyebrows! They look amazing 💕

Bailey is a phenomenal stylist. I just need to be more brave. She really cares about her artwork and works with you. I've been to stylists that, ironically, didn't want to really cut or style longer hair. Other stylists seemed to only care about how my hair looked from the back. She's incredibly patient and kind. I'll book with her again (which I NEVER do) and end up with an incredible transformation at some point!

Aeriel is the BEST! She always brings new life to my hair with amazing cuts and color, and her eyebrow waxing is so soo good. She makes the experience so enjoyable because she’s easy to talk to, but keeps it relaxing. I leave feeling like a million bucks and completely refreshed :)

Great short hair stylist!! Gives great texture, body, and definition to even the most unruly hair. Takes time to really understand and assess the cut you want and checks in periodically. Great personality to match their expertise! Highly recommended!!!!!

I love Rania! I found her last year when I moved from FL. She took the time to understand my hair preferences and worked with me to get my color just right. She always has ideas for any changes I am thinking about and she gives me honest feedback when I want something that will damage my hair. I feel safe with her.

Skylar is THE BEST! So patient and wonderful to chat with, not to mention, a great stylist! I had a terrible day today and she was generous with me running late and I left feeling sooo much better than I did when I walked in. I love my new look and I love Skylar!

My husband and I wanted to try something different for a date night. I had been researching for some time about the benefits of salt rooms or caves. So we decided to try the salon. At first the blowing salt was interesting but eventually my body just relaxed. My husband shared the same experience. I definitely noticed a difference in my sinuses. It was a great experience and we scheduled for another session.My husband and I wanted to try something different for a date night.

Ariel did absolutely amazing, and blew my expectations out of the water. She was so insightful to my hair and some treatments that I could do. She was such a pleasure to be around, and to spend my morning with! I would recommend her to anyone!!

Danielle's work can best be summed up by Lady Gaga,
so here's a quote: "talented, brilliant, amazing, show
stopping, spectacular, never the same (bc I change what
I want every time and she always perfects it), totally
unique, completely never been done before" SHES THE
BEST AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!

Bailey faced a somewhat daunting task - that of creating a more desirable sun-kissed look while erasing the backdrop of an uneven and darker combination of both color and henna on my hair. Bailey embraced the challenge with her heart and soul as well as with her knowledge and training. She adeptly and efficiently recommended several alternative options. Her careful attentiveness, exceptional listening skills, and willingness to prep the hair for what was to come were absolutely ideal for the situation. Her cold-water treatment miraculously removed the brassiness and launched my hair on its way

I hadn't had a haircut in over 8 months and I had been trying different conditioners. Skylar and I discussed coloring my hair darker before we met the official day of the cut. I was ready for a big change!
Skylar was amazing and completely surprised me with her recommendations. After learning I would be traveling to Vegas soon, she said I should wait on coloring it so it wouldn't fade in the sun. We also had a long conversation where I discovered the conditioners I was using were too heavy. I was doing too much for my type of hair.
She gave me so much layering and body, while lightening

I came in needing to add some life back into my hair. I had highlights done here and there at other places but I wanted to dip into balayage. I'm always nervous to go to a new salon. After doing a ton of research to find a great place, I found Philosophi. I wanted to find a place that had great customer experiences, a relaxed vibe and clean(ish) hair products. From the website, it seemed like all of that aligned. I was not disappointed. Just by walking in, you can tell it'll be a relaxing experience. The staff seemed happy and easy going. I booked an appointment with Tuny based on her

Awesome experience. Very open to feedback, professional and charismatic. Matched hair perfectly which is not easy with my hair. Stylists were not overwhelmed with my curly thick hair and knew who to treat it. I have been looking for a new salon for a year now and am very great full to find this gem.

I decided to cut 14inches of my hair to donate back in June, as I was living in Columbus. Absolutely amazing service and although I was skeptical of my decision at first, I have been receiving compliments ever since!

I fell in LOVE with this salon the moment I walked in. Not only is the vibe so down to earth and aesthetically pleasing but Alexa took the time to contact me before my appointment to touch base and she greeted me with an open smile!

She took so much time explaining the process with my hair and was so detailed in the pricing. In the end she was able to give me EXACTLY what I wanted AND more. I highly recommend booking with Alexa if you can!

Dru did my color and finished my extensions that I had partially done. She was very kind to get me in quickly and took her time to get the extensions in and blended. She and the director did some extra work to blend because my hair is so thick so it turned out really great.

Good value for your money. I had no wait time. This was my first time having my hair highlighted with all gluten-free products and I loved it. My scalp didn't burn once like it has at other salons!

I am an employee of Philosophi and am not a stylist. The services that I have received from the stylists are second to none. Tuny listens to what I want for hair color and makes appropriate suggestions to get my hair to what I want to achieve.

Love this salon! Have been twice to see M.J. for my pixie cut. She does a fabulous job, and the conversation isn't bad either :p
Great prices too!

Scheduled an updo for a wedding I was in. Tuny texted me ahead of time to ask for ideas and preferences and my final result looked even better than the photos I had sent. Plus, I have very straight Asian hair that NEVER holds curl, and my hair held up for 6 hours of pictures and throughout the wedding!

If I could give a sixth star, I would. Gavin, you rocked my world. My blonde balayage is the best i've ever had. You are like the long lost soulmate hair stylist best friend i've been searching for for years. The staff was so warm and friendly, the music was perfect, care was superb, and talent is through the roof. He took his time, did exactly what I wanted, and got me out fast for a date!

I feel complete.
