Lots of Advertising but does not meet the hype

by annynon at Citysearch

I believed Penzone's ads, & went there for awhile, Always disappointed in the style and look was old..

The last time there I had to wait an hour for my stylist.

I decided to watch women coming out. Blah, old hair styles. I sat right across from the cashier so I saw all that were finished and leaving within that hour.

Not one had an attractive style. Just as bad as I was getting. That's the last time I stepped a foot into Penzones.

Its almost impossible to get a good cut/style in Columbus. Check out the 'party' pictures in the local magazines plus the news anchor women. None look like their stylist cared or keeps up to date.

Andrea! Why are you so crazy about your stylist? They are doing you no favors!

Ok, Then by sheer accident I found an excellent one at a solon now out of business. I followed him all over town, waiting while he taught hair cutting I watched his hair cuts move. What beautiful precision. Every hair falls right back into the style.

Jose is now at Studio One, 51 N. High. He's from Chicago and knows cuts, styles and what's up to date.

He works Thurs at Studio One in New Albany.

I just returned from the downtown location with a precision cut. I call it a long pixie with all those texturizing (wispy) cuts in it and, long wispy bangs.. I love it. Just what I asked for. Exactly what I got. Up to the minute hair style.

I'm not connected to Jose or SO in any way. I just know that he is an excellent hair stylist.

Let Jose give you ideas for just you. He's the best.

I think I'll go to the New Albany Studio One on Jose's Thursdays its closer.

Jayah--Got to be a joke!

by Macie at Citysearch

Say, does anyone know what a texturizer is? Its for women that likes a short, sharp hair cut. Well, it is very simple to do. Put a little relaxer in the hair, lets say for about 5-7 minutes, wash hair, condition it, put a little curl activator in your hair and walk out the door. No need to sit under dryer, no need to thermal curl. Easy as pie, right? No, not for Jayah!!!! First of all, a texturizer is for a short cut...I had at least 6 inches of hair. I kept telling her it needs to be cut--she didn't want to cut so when she completed it. I looked like I had a afro from the 60's with a weave sewed in. She tried to fix it up. I told her nothing she could do would make it work it needs to be cut. So she preceeded to cut it, still left me with 4 inches of hair. (Do you know she charged me $23.00 to fixed what she didn't do right in the first place!?) It looked ok, I thought maybe I could work with it but I would never come back again; but it wasn't what I expected from a "DIRECTOR." I was there for two hours when it should had only been for 45 mins. So, I left with a whopping $172 less. What the f***. The next day after I took a shower---what did I look like; no not what I looked like, but what did my hair looked liked? My hair looked like it belonged to a drunk, a wine ole, a crack head. I can't even go to work today. I'm typing this review. I'm pissed. I can't wait until they open. I'm counting the hours and minutes. I will be back to let you know what happened (as if anyone cares).

Love Nicole

by susan43017 at Citysearch

I went to Penzone for my hair and nails. I have to tell you that for hair, I was impressed and very happy. Nicole was FABULOUS. I was not impressed with my nails, although they look ok, the experience was not very relaxing. I was rushed and felt like a number. I will return for my hair. They seem to be able to do almost anything, but their bread and butter is hair. They should stick to hair. I would rate my hair experience a 10 and my nails a 2.

Disappointing

by shethang at Citysearch

I went to CP Polaris for nail service twice and never went back. Once I was at a friend's baby shower where we set up individual appointments and then did gifts in a private room. The salon facility is beautiful (the only reason I am rating higher than one star) but the manicure was crummy and chipped soon after. I gave it another try for a pedicure. The technician was salty and acted miserable. I don't expect (or want) the technician to chat me up when I am getting a pedicure but she was just plain unpleasant towards me. The quality of the pedicure was substandard as well compared to others I've had from different salons...she didn't put much effort into the sloughing. I've never been back.
