I have been living in Cincinnati for 12 years, and I have tried many salons - Identity, Mitchell's, Pump, Salon LA, Great Clips, Pure Concept. I walked into Cura Bella once to check it out, and the girl at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. I set up an appointment with Jim after reading on City Search how much his customers loved his cuts. I have continued going to Jim for all my cuts since - it's a pleasure to go to Cura Bella. Jim sits me down each time and asks me if I'd like to change anything. I feel like he takes time on my cut and listens to what I want, and recommends what he thinks might look good. I have always feel like my cut looks the best after leaving Cura Bella, more so than any of those other salons. I've had a problem in the past with stylists listening at first, then going on auto-pilot and ignoring how I might want to change things. This is not a problem at Cura Bella. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I never feel like I'm out of place or being shunned if I'm not made up and dressed up. I highly recommend Cura Bella.
Pros: atmosphere, location, service, front desk, great stylists
Cons: parking can be a challenge, but they will update your meter for you
