I was looking for a salon that specialized in curly hair, I know that not every hairstylist knows how to cut curly hair, yes they are trained in beauty school but it is so much different then any other hair. I found Amy and her salon on the internet and am so happy to have experienced her expertise. I would recommend anyone that has not experienced a stylist that is trained in curly hair to go there and visit any of the other stylists as well. You will be glad you did! Thank you Amy for your expertise and patience with all m... read more
Best haircut of my life! My hair was a total mess when I went in. I had been very scared about getting a haircut..hadn't had one for years. Amy knows her stuff! She's the ultimate CurlMistress. She answered all my questions, listened to all my concerns and had a cool personality. She left the length I wanted and created beautiful layers. Some hairdressers make you feel bad about yourself, like they are the only one that can save you from being a total disaster...not Amy, I left feeling better about myself and my hair. I boun... read more
Thank you so much for my fabulous new cut! I never knew my curls could look so healthy and full. Love it!
It just keeps getting better at this salon. I've been going to Ambushed for over a year now and I have nothing but good reviews. The people are wonderful and my hair always looks fantastic. Until I found this salon, I had never come out of a salon liking the way my hair looked. I normally have to put my hair up after getting it cut, but the first time I walked out of Ambushed, I was thrilled with the results. My curls looked great all day. And I was pleasantly surprised when they looked just as good the next day. Now, every ... read more
Mandi Rocks!!! If you have curly hair this is the place to go for a great haircut. I've been there three times and got a great cut each time. Ambushed Salon gets it, it's the only salon that really understands curly hair and how to handle it. Last Saturday I had 10+ inches of hair cut off and I absolutely love my hair and this cut. It's so fun and funky and Mandi's a miracle worker, she tamed my curls and somehow made my hair curlier and no frizz at all. I'm using the products she recommended and I am getting the same result... read more
great cut/color...but the rest is disappointing – I have mixed feelings about Ambushed Salon. My hair looks fantastic, but my experiences have been less than stellar. If you get an appointment first thing in the morning I guarantee you Amy will be late. Don't plan anything for most of the day because a cut and color takes 3+ hours. Every time. You have to pay for parking. If you don't already live downtown and have to commute the drive is a &*(%$. The salon is well decorated and extremely stylish, comfortable and high end lo... read more
Business response:
I have been a client of Amy's for about four years and my loyalty is unsurpassed. Amy's schedule has always been a hectic one as she strives to find a balance between managing her family as well as her start up business. As far as spending too much time at a salon, Ambush accomodates those elongated waiting periods with graciousness and great conversation. How are you able to blame a Short North Business associate for parking in the downtown area?
Never Going Again – I went to Ambushed because I heard about a deal an intern was doing for 10 dollar cuts and 10 dollar colors. Because I am a broke college student, this deal really wowed me. My mom always spoke highly of Amy's salon and I was excited to go. I understand that going from red hair to blonde hair is a bit tricky, but I was there for 6 and a half hours. This is more than 1/4 of a day. The girl did not seem to know what she was doing and she wasn't super friendly. In the end, I was charged 75 dollars for the do... read more

Charita is exceptional – Charita has cut my hair into short layers three times now, and each time I leave the salon with an exceptional haircut. Charita is not only detail-oriented and professional but also warm and friendly. Every day I leave the house with wet hair, bike with a helmet 30 min. to work, and my hair still looks great all day -- all thanks to Charita. She also shapes my brows, and I am always happy with the result. In summary, Charita's work makes me feel pretty and confident. I can't recommend her highly enou... read more
Charita is an Awesome stylist – For anyone with curly hair, I highly suggest going to this salon! It was my first visit to this salon, where Charita cut and styled my hair to perfection! I have very curly hair that was highly in need of a good haircut!! The stylist, Charita Nunery was soooooo helpful in listening to what I wanted done to my hair, and in making informative suggestions. She suggested a glaze for my hair, to help maximize shine and even out my hair tone. Then she listened to the fact that I wanted my hair short... read more
