Kat is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and she did a great job on the Brazilian Blow out and with this being my first time she went through all of the steps and also made sure I knew what to do once I was home to maintain my hair. Highly recommend .

Kat was great. Taught me a lot! I really didn't know what to do with my hair, I just knew I wanted something different. It was her idea to do the body wave and I am glad I took her advice.

KNOWS HOW TO CUT ASIAN MEN HAIR
Since i moved to Cincinnati, I have been struggling to find a barber who knows how to deal with my thick straight asian hair. Within the first 10 minutes of the consultation, Kat knew exactly how I wanted my hair to look like. Not only did she give me a fresh real fade, she also taught me how to take care of my hair. Highly recommended! Very knowledgeable in her crafts.

I scarcely write reviews for establishments.
However, Kat at the Hair Art Salon deserves exceptional superlatives for her work and knowledge - the woman is a master craftswoman with hair. Within minutes of sitting down in the chair she knew exactly how my hair flowed; grew; and without any direction, zeroed-in on how I wanted it cut back and styled.
Smartly priced, wise, and professional, anyone who says differently is daft or likely caused their own bad experience. I have the highest accolades and recommendations for Kat and her Hair Art Studio.

Kat is so amazing and knows what she’s doing! This is the first time I’ve gotten the Japanese straightening. It was time-consuming, but it was a blast! I’m so glad I took the time to research to find someone… like her! I bombarded her with questions and she answered every single one with her cast knowledge of doing hair for so long. The salon is beautiful and clean, and parking was super easy. Highly recommend! ♥️

I have gone to Kat for two years now for the Japanese Straightener and always have an amazing experience. I used to fly to Florida to get my hair done because I did not trust anyone with it. I am now a forever customer of her’s. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, fun, personable, and oh yeah...my hair always looks amazing!!! I highly recommend going to Kat for any professional service!

Kat did such an amazing job on my hair ! I have never met anyone with the amount of knowledge she has. Not only did I leave with a huge smile on my face, but I also left feeling so educated about my hair. My color turned out perfect, and the hothead extensions look gorgeous!!!

I went in to to see Kat for hair extensions. I was hesitant because my hair is short, wavy, and layered. Somehow she worked her magic and I’m thrilled with the results. I highly recommend her experience and expertise!

Kat is not only an experienced stylist, but she is also a teacher. I learned so many tips for taking care of my hair at home. I got a Brazilian Blowout and I could tell she was so much more experienced than the stylists I have had in the past for this treatment. I also loved that she charged by the hour which was great for people with shorter hair. I was especially impressed with her time management. She is the ultimate professional! 5 stars!!

Owner Kat has cut off communication completely after i asked for a refund. I am asking for a full refund since my hair was completely destroyed- it’s fried to a crisp and falling off as we speak in clumps .… Feel free to read the comments I sent her : ( 1000.00 is what I paid for a Brazilian blowout and a Japanese straight treatment
AUGUST—-Hi Kat ! Hope all is well ! I hate to have to write this because we had so much fun during the service and u are a great lady .

Kat is amazing!!! She squeezed me into her booked schedule and transformed me in 3 hrs. or less, taking off years and about 4 inches while adding sooo many great styling and color tips! Very reasonable price. She is super informative and a great listener, as well, and I love the cut and color. I will definitely be back! Only hitch is I live in SoCal - wish I could take Kat with me! Next year, same time, same place, same Salsa on the Plaza right after as well!

I came here for Japanese Hair Straightening and was very impressed. My hair is straight and smooth now. Kat was amazing, taking time to explain every single step and offering helpful pieces of hair care advice as well. I'll definitely come back here if I need anything else related to my hair!

I always have such trouble finding hair dressers that understand what I’m looking for and have the ability/knowledge to accomplish it. Kat was exactly what I’ve been searching for! I have never had anyone analyze my hair and help me figure out what works best for me. She taught me more in the first 15 minutes of meeting her about hair styling than… I learned on my own in the 25 years I’ve been alive. I usually never go back to the same hair dresser twice but I will absolutely be visiting Kat again. She is exactly what every girl needs in their life!

For anyone considering going to Hair Art Studio, I definitely recommend it and the owner, Kat! I just had the Japanese Straightening done on my hair at Hair Art Studio; Kat, who did my hair, was so professional and inviting and being a freshmen in college, even though I was nervous to get my hair straightened at first, she was extremely flexible with scheduling. Any questions that I had, I could call and she was happy to answer! I am now a sophomore in college, and just had it straightened again, as I have thick hair that now required me to come in again, but once again, I followed all of her helpfully

I gave up on the last place that cut my hair and tried Hair Art Studio on a friend's recommendation, first of all it's a really cool place and Kat who cut my hair is ultra professional. I'll be a regular from now on. What a difference from the "chop shop" I was going to..........

I am really sad to write an unflattering review, so much so that I was all conflicted about posting my thoughts in a public space where customer thoughts reign supreme. I had my haircut here twice and noticed after both cuts that the ends of my hair were so crooked that it looked like I had not had haircut in months. really unpleasant feeling after dropping close to 50 bucks on a trim. I kept trying to justify this by thinking that maybe the damage to my hair (self inflicted) from dying and chemical straightening was causing my ends to be choppy and all outta wack. but after pulling out section

My 10 year old daughter and I went to Hair Art Studio to get an "up-do" for my sister's wedding. The owner, Kat, answered the phone and did our hair. The price was certainly right ($40 each). The thing that impressed me most, however, was how Kat taught my daughter how to wash/brush/style her hair appropriately. She taught her all these things based on my daughter's hair type and shape of her face. We definitely had personalized service. I would recommend to anyone!

I have been to Hair Art Studio a handful of times now for everything from cuts, color & updo's. From the moment you walk in there is a comfortable, urban feel to the place which I love. Aubrey & Heather are both great stylists that work here. Very professional work accompanied by great personalities. You can't go wrong with either of them doing your hair. I would suggest trying out a great new restaurant downtown & get your hair done while your're at it.

Love the look and convenient location of this salon- very chill and spacious. Just started going here when my hair stylist switched locations. I had to follow her- she's amazing. Aubrey has a rare talent- she looks at your hair and automatically knows what to do with it, and it looks good- every time- without fail. She comes up with a fresh, new look every visit and has a knack for edgy cuts and inventive colors. If she worked at a high-end salon she'd be an Artistic Director, but she keeps her pricing accessible. Her cuts are a bargain and worthwhile every time. I've gone

BREAKING UPDATE:

I bit the bullet and got the Japanese Ionic Thermal Reconditioning straightening treatment done today and a brow wax.

Not only did I have a blast with Kat (very good energy; very professional yet personable) but . . . . I left and the first text I sent to my boyfriend was:

"I am beyond hot. Make that scorching".

And it's true. She's efficient, effective, and just . . excellent! Not only does she answer hair-related questions and make style recommendations (if you ask), she makes you look GOOOOOOOD.

Regarding brow wax:

I told her she needed to put
