While the Short North previously had a reputation for difficult parking, recent changes have mad a world of difference! This site gives loads of parking details, but the short form is that there is metered parking available on High St. in front of the salon.

There is also easy metered parking on Buttles, Hubbard, and Warren.

Most meters take both credit cards and online payment via the ParkColumbus app.

Garage parking is also available on Hubbard Ave. just east of High St (The Hubbard Garage) or on E Russell St just west of High St (The Joseph Garage). Phia Salon can validate your parking which will make the first hour $1.

If you’re looking for free options, meters are free on Sunday & specified Holidays, and parking is free to the west of Neil and north of King.

Please note: Parking directly behind the salon is permit-only, unless you are a service vehicle, you will get towed.

Many factors influence the level of our technical staff, including advanced education, experience, client satisfaction, skill, and the level of demand to get an appointment with them.

Our training level professionals (our ‘apprentice’) charge far less for services, but services may take longer as they will have their plan and work checked by an upper-level professional. While our apprentice professionals are always new to our salon, they may or may not be new to the industry. All of our apprentice professionals are (at a minimum) graduates of reputable cosmetology schools and many have some experience prior to beginning with us.

Of course, we never want budget to get in the way of someone’s hair vision! Please tell your friend to consider seeing a lower level or apprentice stylist. They could also consider breaking up their appointments over time, asking their stylist for a long term plan that works within their budget or, in some situations, they may even be able to land discounted services by acting as a hair model to help advertise the services of one of our professionals.

Yes, please call any of our salons or stop in.
