They are professional and clean. They always did the cut I wanted right first time, even when I was pretty vague. I'll admit I never did anything complicated or any dye, but, for me, they are well worth the price.

Akada is the first salon I went to after moving to Grandview, and I won’t be going anywhere else! I’ve had a great experience here and would recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely the cream of the crop. I have been going there for 10 years. The big plus is they are efficient and prompt. Their goal is keeping customers happy. The stylists are the best.

I've been a loyal customer of Akada for 9 years now and highly recommend it to everyone! If you are looking for a great colorist, look no further than John Paul. John Paul listens to my needs and is meticulous about his work. He is efficient and doesn't cut corners. Amanda is also wonderful! I've been going to her for cuts the past few years and she ALWAYS remembers the ins and outs of my crazy curly hair and how to get the perfect cut. More...

Wonderful experience from start to finish! I have heard great things about Akada for years and was able to see Tammy today. I had a picture of what I had in mind and she took the reins and gave me the style I have been wanting for so long with ease! Tammy is a master of her craft with precision cutting, awesome blowout and exudes confidence which put me at ease-No guesswork, endless scrolling through Pinterest, she is incredible. Gave me great styling tips and versatility with my cut which I need while being a busy Mom and fitness Instructor. Usually I leave and have to come home to “do” my hair all over agin, not today! I don’t want to wash it!:) Love the vibe, bright, cheerful and open-no “airs” whatsoever which I also appreciate. Looking forward to coming back! More...

I found Akada from Expertise on the web to find the best local experts. Akada was on the list, I went to their Instagram and saw there work. All the stylists were so talented, for what I wanted in a cut I wanted to see Tabby. My husband said out of all the haircuts I have had she has been his favorite! I agree as well, I loved my experience so much I called Akada to rave about my 5 star experience. She is very sweet and talented if you want a haircut done right, see Tabby at Akada. More...

Wife goes here every 2-3 months though we live 3 hours away. She says that it is a great place for her cut and style. They can do it all and they are priced well for a high end salon. Definitely one of the best in Columbus, OH. More...

Went to Akada for the first time and had Elise cut my hair, loved the entire experience. Elise was great, taught me how to dry my hair for more volume. She's an artist and I left Akada with a fabulous haircut. Looking forward to going back to Elise! More...

It took me years to find a stylist that cut my hair exactly the way I like it. I could never describe what I liked or didn't like, but Arlene just *got it. * From the first cut, I loved what she did and I trust her implicitly. I'm not afraid to try something new, because I know she'll always make it look great. More...

I've had a great experience at Akada. The pricing is competitive and the results have been great. Always feel like I'm at a really high end salon, but the pricing isn't. Isn't that a switch? Have always felt like I was treated well and my input on how my cut needs to be was listened to. Highly recommended. More...

I researched prior to my visit to Akada. After many unfortunate hair cut experiences I lost the excitement & joy in getting my haircut. A friend recommended the salon. After looking at all the stylist Instagram pages I fell in love with Tabby's work and booked an appointment. I was not disappointed! I look forward to more appointments and becoming more daring with my hair. I feel comfortable, listened to, and appreciated. I am so happy I found Akada & Tabby More...

I've been a client of Mackenzie Myers for years. My hair texture (coarse) and curl pattern (wavy, not curly) is hard for me to work with. She consistently gives me a great cut, and also perfect product and styling technique recommendations. Also an excellent colorist. Highly recommend. More...

Aryn at Akada gave me the best cut I have ever had - and on my first visit! I have thick hair and no one has ever known how to work with it. Aryn did. I even got compliments at work on my haircut which never happens. I do not live close but will gladly travel the distance because only Aryn will style my hair from now on. My Akada experience was great and I love the Davine''s products. I highly recommend Akada, but especially Aryn - ask for her, you will get the best cut you have ever had, she knows her stuff. Thanks, Aryn. More...

She is also very personable while cutting my hair and doing my highlights. I have seen Amanda since she was a trainee and she is now a level two. I have referred several people to Akada and they have loved it there as well. More...

I have been going to Mackenzie at Akada for a few years now. Every time I come in with a "great" idea for my hair, she helps me understand my hair structure, what certain cuts will take for maintenance and styling, and what other options are that will be close to my idea but perfect for my actual hair and lifestyle! She's a pro at curly hair for sure! More...

I’ve been looking for a good hair salon after my usual stylist moved away. I’m fearful of change and I’m picky when it comes to my hair. But with high recommendations I heard that Tabby from Akada was fantastic. So I decided to give her a try. I was impressed with the salon as soon as I walked in. The staff that greeted me was so friendly, the environment was clean and I was made to feel comfortable. Tabby is fantastic, such a sweet lady and is very talented. They value continued education for their staff and the new employees are trained well before being allowed to cut or color a customer’s hair (I know this because I asked a lot of questions), I really loved my cut and color, it looked perfect to me. After a few days of washing and styling my hair myself I noticed a few places that were bugging me because I couldn’t blow dry it just like Tabby did so it laid differently (I told you I was a little picky) . I called the salon and they got me right back in and Tabby cut a few places a little differently, at no cost to me. Now when I blow dry my hair it lays just right! I am so pleased and feel excited to have found my new salon. I will definitely be going back. Thank you Tabby and Akada for a wonderful experience. I’m enjoying my new cut and color. More...

I've never been someone who's particularly concerned about her hair - I wash and comb and then it basically has to be presentable - and the stylists I've seen here have all been more than willing to work with that. I currently see Arlene, and she's been great at figuring out things to do when I need a change without having to change my non-existent styling routine. More...

Clean and friendly. Have been going there for over two years. Like their natural product offerings. Stylists really listen, and also educate so we know the "know how" between appointments.

I had gotten a terrible haircut at another saloon and came to Akada for help. The stylist I had was very knowledgeable and gave me suggestions and advise on what I should do and what would look best for my particular face shape. She spent a lot of time after the cut explaining how to style my hair once I was on my own since I told her I was not good with hair. I loved the cut and the styling products that were used on my hair made it feel good and not stiff and plastic like so many do. I loved the experience I had there and will be returning on a regular basis to keep my hair style looking good. More...

I first made an appointment at Akada because I needed someone new to cut my hair. I wanted a fresh set of eyes to look at my face and hair and help me decide on my next cut/color. Amanda was and is amazing. She takes time to listen to you and looks at you as if its the first time she has seen you. She cuts amazing hair....goes back into it after drying to make sure there are no "heavy" spots. Her color for me is perfect as I asked for a natural looking brown and she nailed it....still does. All the stylists and assistants give the best hair wash and head massage ever...I joke that I'd like to make an appointment for that alone. I'm happy at Akada and thank Amanda and the staff for always making it a very pleasant experience! More...

Always good service. Had my bangs cut a bit short a few times but then again I'm pretty picky about them. My old complaint is that it takes forever for someone to answer the phone most of the time. Would for sure recommend this as a place to go. More...
