Welcome to First & Park Beauty

Rayna is amazing! I loved to Columbus 2 years ago and found Rayna online. I met her for a consultation and she put all my fears of getting a new hairdresser at ease. She talked me through what she wanted to do to my hair based on my vision of what I wanted and what would be best for my face shape. She is so personable and friendly and always remembers where our conversations left off after each visit, even if I got months without seeing her. I highly recommended her to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming salon and a knowledgeable stylist in the Columbus area!

I’ve had my fair share of experiences getting my hair done over the years, and I can honestly say Rayna is the best stylist I’ve ever come across. I’ve never been super loyal to a stylist in the past, but after finding her, that’s about to change. She truly listens to your hair wants and needs, and then works her magic to give you the best version of your style that fits your personal look.

I can confidently say that this is the best haircut I’ve ever had. My hair always lays so much better after seeing Rayna, and I feel like I’ve finally found someone who understands exactly what I’m looking for. Unlike most stylists who rush through a trim or small cut in five minutes, Rayna takes the time to pay attention to detail, ensuring that every snip is perfect. But she doesn’t take forever either—just the right balance of precision and efficiency.

I’m so glad I found her and can’t recommend her enough! If you’re looking for a stylist who truly cares about making your hair the best it can be, Rayna is your person!

First Park & Beauty first off is a beautiful salon in general. The location is great, it is super clean, decorated perfectly. I was lucky to get my hair done by Emily Nugent. She always does such an incredible job on my hair. She understands my vision and always executes it perfectly. I get highlights and a cut. The highlights blend so nicely with my natural hair and the cut is always great. She is easy to talk to and I can say with full confidence she does the best on my hair over anyone else I have ever gone too. I 100% recommend First Park & Beauty and Emily Nugent!

Rayna is truly a master at blending gray and lightening hair to perfection—no brassiness, just gorgeous, natural-looking tones. I have been searching for 8 years for someone to lift my dark brunette color treated hair to match my natural silver and I finally found her! Rayna’s expertise and attention to detail are unmatched, and she takes the time to understand your hair goals while offering honest advice.

One of the things I appreciate most is I have not been double-booked. She dedicates her full attention, making the experience feel personal and unrushed. It’s rare to find a stylist who prioritizes quality over quantity, and it truly shows in her work.

Beyond her incredible skills, her salon is a welcoming and stylish space. She runs her business with integrity and professionalism but is humble and down-to-earth. From her space to her work you can tell Rayna loves what she does and genuinely cares about her clients.

Emily did an incredible job! For the past 18+ years, I’ve been getting my hair dyed dark brown (all-over color), but with my grays coming in quickly and my schedule making it tough to visit the salon every 4-5 weeks, I decided to try gray blending. I reached out to Emily, hoping to transition to a look that only requires maintenance 3-4 times a year—and I’m so excited to be on this journey with her!

She was fantastic at walking me through the process, setting realistic expectations, and tailoring everything to my needs. I knew I’d have to go lighter, and I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about the change. But Emily made me feel so confident, reminding me that it’s a process and that if I didn’t love it, we could adjust while still working toward my goal. Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about—because the moment she was done, I knew it was perfect.

Now, several days later, I’m still in love with it and know I made the right decision. Emily is truly the best!

Rayna is truly and artist! I love my hair every time I go to her. I usually only get haircuts, but she has done a fantastic job with balayage too!

Rayna did an absolutely fabulous job on my transitioning gray hair. I began letting it grow out in Jan. from being colored every 3 weeks. Boy, what a mess! Even though it will take some time getting use to, Rayna did exactly as I asked, blend the gray!
