WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Emily has been doing my hair for the past year, and I have been so happy with the color each session. She has given me the most natural, "lived-in" blonde balayage highlights that makes maintenance easy. I am due for another session soon, but I'm still getting stopped by people asking who does my hair and if I just got it done! Before each session begins, Emily does a great job of listening and working through any changes/adjustments that are being made, as well as offering her advice along with a plan; each experience truly feels special! Emily is not only professional, but a joy to chat with. The styling is always so well done and I leave First & Park feeling bright and refreshed.
I'm new to Columbus and it's been a process to find my people; needing new doctors, new esthetician, new friends and most importantly, a new hairdresser! I definitely found her in Rayna! She was warm and sweet, she listened to what I was hoping to achieve, my hair challenges and took it away. I could not be more pleased to have found my hair home in Columbus at First & Park!
I started going to Emily while getting ready for my wedding, and she completely transformed my hair. She corrected years of cuts and colors I didn’t love and got my hair to a place where I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day—and I’m still obsessed with it months later. The salon itself is so calm, welcoming, and just a really lovely place to be. I also have a lot of grays in my twenties, and Emily has blended them so naturally that I never have harsh grow-out lines. I truly trust her with my hair and can’t recommend her enough!
I absolutely love the highlights and cuts I’ve gotten from Emily! She truly listens to what I want and offers thoughtful suggestions tailored to my hair care routine. Her product recommendations have been spot-on, and thanks to her expertise, my hair’s overall health has improved. Plus, I always enjoy coming to the salon; the welcoming atmosphere and Emily’s friendly vibe make each visit a relaxing and fun experience.
Emily at First & Park has been amazing and knows exactly how to execute my vision for effortless blond every time! The location is perfect and the salon is so beautiful, bright and airy and everyone is so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend!!
Emily at First & Park Beauty is the absolute BEST! I am a brunette and have had the hardest time finding someone in Columbus who can color my greys, keep me from fading warm, & give a great cut in addition to color services - enter Emily, and all my problems have been solved! Bonus is that she is the easiest to chat with! Could not recommend more!!!!! 5-stars!!!!
I’ve been coming to see Emily since day one! I see her every month and it’s always one of my favorite days! She is such a ray of sunshine and makes you feel so pretty! The salon is so warm and inviting. I tell everyone I can about Emily and the salon. Can’t recommend enough! XO!
Rayna is amazing with color! A true artist. I am not the best at coming frequently and her color lasts and grows out beautifully. Highly recommend
