I had such a great experience here. I went to Maggie. She's relatively new and absolutely awesome. I decided to get bangs and she made me feel very confident.
The salon was bright, comfortable and well decorated.
The prices were very reasonable for the services.
Everybody was very friendly. I'm excited to go back!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Oct 22, 2022
I had such a great experience at benefit this morning! I needed to book a last min blowout and style for my gender reveal today and benefit had a morning opening! Natalie was great and efficient at washing, drying and styling. She used Dyson and T3 products and Natalie was able to provide a lot of info about the tools, I may buy one! While I waited for my appointment I enjoyed a hot cup of aveda aromatherapy tea from their coffee and tea station. Will definitely be back for future hair needs, They also have makeup application options! The Space is also so beautiful, covered with greenery, lots of plants, such a welcoming space.

I was recommended this salon from a Facebook group, to see a stylist I'd never seen before because I wanted a specific cut before the end of the week. I booked with the stylist online, realized I couldn't make that time, called the receptionist and was able to schedule me with the same level stylist as previously, that would fit my availability and timeline. Luckily, I got Shelby (shoutout!) who was conveniently from the same small area I was and we had mutual friends. The time passed so quickly as we never ran out of things to talk about.
I'm in love with my haircut and tips she'd given about some questions I had to improve the overall health of my hair. I'll absolutely be returning to this salon! Also -- it's absolutely beautiful! The plants and modern chic design of the salon made me feel comfortable and right at home. I was even able to Venmo my tip and put the haircut on the card I made the appointment with. So easy!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jennifer G.Pensacola Beach, FL03May 20, 2023
I saw
a new stylist, Valerie, today. She was sweet, precise and listened well to achieve my goals. She was meticulous in achieving the look I was after. I will return as a client.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Maximilian R.Oxford, OH4071Aug 6, 2021Updated review
***My review Circa 2015: I'm a guy. A guy who looks like biker trash most days I'm not in a suit for work. I've always felt weird getting my hair cut in a Salon as I was usually the only guy in there and at the same time I vowed to NEVER step foot in a Barber Shop again since the late 90s. I've bounced between stylists in my younger days looking for that right person who 'gets me' until I found Angeline.
Angeline is my stylist at Benefit Salon and she 'gets me.' Not only does she offer suggestions when I'm thinking a new direction with my hair, but she does her homework outside of the salon to see what styles are out there in the world that would work well with my look and grooming habits. I've never experienced this kind of care and attention to detail with anyone else which is why I am a fiercely loyal client of hers. Not only does Angeline work with my hair but also my beard. My beard, even more than my hair, is what defines me in a way. It's that trusted friend, that secret lover, that sacred part of me which I hold dearest of all. And I let Angeline cut it. If you're a Beardsman like I am, you have to have a lot of trust to let someone get that close to your mane.
Simply put, Angeline is *the best*, hands down, end of argument.
When Angeline decided to move her chair to Benefit Salon I had no worries. No worries I'd feel awkward, or out of place, or just weird. The staff at Benefit Salon are all great people and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It's kinda like you belong there to begin with. The whole place just has a great positive vibe to it - I just can't explain.
So take it from me, Grizzly Adams, a 30-something Beardsman and introvert, treat yourself to a haircut and mini facial (dude, it's awesome, get over yourself and try it!). And IF you're lucky enough to be able to see Angeline, do it. Let her know The Dude sent you. You won't be disappointed.
***My follow-up review Circa 2021: I'd say nothing has changed. The staff is still great. Angeline, who I still see, is *still* awesome. They're in a better location now. They survived the pandemic which killed off a lot of businesses. During the pandemic, they took great precautions to keep people safe and healthy by providing masks and sanitizer if needed, limiting people in the waiting area, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this business, or Angeline. I drive an hour to visit Benefit Salon (and have been for well over 5 years now) and I'll keep coming here so long as they'll have me - I wouldn't go anywhere else.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 1, 2016Previous reviewI'm a guy.

I was ecstatic to have a mother daughter Salon day together to not only enjoy a little pampering but, the end results as well.
My daughter booked two appointments one for a full balayage and one for a full highlight for myself which included a shampoo.
Long story short my daughter went in with black box dyed hair and came out looking the same minus two blonde strands in her bangs that the Salon manager called money pieces for $170.
I understand being warned that her hair may have not lift properly but, to now have mismatched hair colors popping out after a few washes does not look right. To no avail after sending the Salon messages on Facebook and to their company email also, speaking to the Salon manager we are left with no alternative other than to fix her hair ourselves or go to another salon.
I am very happy with my results done by Bridgette however, I was overcharged by $40 for a haircut that I didn't receive.
I would have not noticed the additional charges if, it weren't for calling in to speak to the manager about receiving some kind of assistance with my daughter's hair.
I completely understand there are all kinds of challenges faced when coloring hair. I've colored my hair numerous times throughout my life. This will be the first time paying nearly $200 to see no change whatsoever. It's ultimately disappointing.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - Kylie S.Cincinnati, OH130Mar 29, 2022
Had a lovely experience here today! They offered a great range of product and had a coffee station available to use. My stylist (Cat) was really knowledgable about what I was asking for and was super friendly the whole time. The owner checked in on me after the service and was also really friendly. Not only was the staff great, but the location itself was really cute. I loved the decor and general feel of the place. I made another appointment on the way out to come back!

My stylist (Liz) is friendly and great with color. She always offers to style my hair once it's cut and colored. Scheduling is easy and I'm always happy with how my hair looks after each appointment!

My daughter sees Jocelyn at Benefit and finally talked me into making an appointment.
I'm so glad I did.
I absolutely love my hair. Jocelyn did a keratin treatment and also added base color and highlights to my hair and I couldn't look or feel better!
I look forward to going there for a long time!!
Thank you Jocelyn!! And of course, thanks to my daughter!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Feb 26, 2018
I came to Benefit Salon to get my eyebrows tinted for the first time. I did not really know what I was doing or what I was getting into but the staff was super understanding and accommodating!
The room you get your brows tinted in is like a massage room that is serene and calming. The entire process took about 15 minutes and was painless.
I loved the results I got and the color was a perfect match to my hair. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars in the review is I thought it was a bit over priced, $25-30 plus tip, for what it was and how long the tint lasts in your brows, roughly 2 weeks.
So if you have the money to spend and time to come in every 2 weeks I recommend Benefit Salon! If not I believe there are better options out there!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
