Shawn Paul Salon

I love this place. I decided to switch stylists since this place is so convenient for me (near my work) AND drum roll please...Vivian is the bomb! She takes time to listen to your needs and will give suggestions that are manageable for a wash-and-wear type of gal like me. I am really picky with people who work with my hair (any woman would be picky too!), especially I have asian hair--this type of hair shows ALL mistakes! That is why it is such a relief to find someone who has the skills to understand the challenges of this type of hair. Based on the smiles and happy looks of other clients, you can't go wrong with the other stylists as well. Bring your little ones too! My 7-yr. old got a haircut while waiting for me :) Go ahead and schedule your appointment at this beautiful and relaxing salon. You will not regret it.

DREAMY. HEAVEN. HAIR ARTISTS. I will never ever ever go anywhere else. Ever. They have a dang patio! I am going to shout out my personal stylist Megan, and my daughter's stylist, Lauren. But believe me, all of their staff is equally incredible. Everyone. And if you like candy and dogs, you belong here.

I never write reviews (I'm usually just a lurker) but I HAD to write a review for this salon. I'm only in Cleveland for the summer, so this was a fresh experience for me. The first time I went in I got my hair cut by Vivian. For the first time, a hairdresser cut EXACTLY what I wanted - *just* enough to trim the damaged hair, and the face-framing layers I dreamed of. I looked and felt incredible, and Vivian was so reassuring and communicative. I decided to go back for a manicure with Katie, who was new but nonetheless incredibly kind, accommodating, and excellent in her work. I never get my nails done (like once a year) and I was looking forward to French manicure and gel polish. When I walked in the appointment was a bit late, delayed by the previous customer, and she said she didn't have enough time for French tips since they take longer. I was disappointed, but then she made a call and shifted her schedule back just for me so we could have time for it, and the nails came out perfectly. I then had a consultation with Vivian for a full hair bleach and dye (from brown to blue) which was free, and settled on a Saturday to do it. I'd been dreaming about blue hair for months, and I was so nervous about damage to my hair or a bad dye job, as I had a bad experience with the only other coloring I've gotten (auburn red balayage, which looked more scary Halloween highlights). I was nervous, but Vivian explained everything she was doing thoroughly to ease my nerves and constant questions (I'm a very curious person and I like to know what everything being put in my hair does). It doesn't hurt that she's also a very interesting person to talk to! Time flew by and those 8 hours were so worth it. I have MERMAID HAIR!!! I've never felt this beautiful and confident in my life. She also gave me detailed instructions on how to care for my hair with minimal damage, and how to affordably perform upkeep on my coloring at home. She even gave me her number in case I need any advice regarding my hair. Every time I've gone to this salon the service has been incredible - everyone in the entire place is so kind and helpful, there's jars and jars of unlimited free candy, and they offer you free tea and coffee as soon as you sit down. The interior design is wonderful, the hair products smell incredible and are sustainable, ethically-sourced, and top quality, but most of all their work is incredible. Thanks so much Shawn Paul Salon! Watch out, next time I'm in Cleveland, I'll be coming back. (I might even come back just for you.)

Really cool place and I absolutely loved Lily and my experience. However, the end result I am not too happy with. On my pedicure there are a few blemishes in the paint and my gel manicure started peeling after 4 days. Update: the salon owner called me and said I could have my nails redone which is pretty cool!

The Shawn Paul Salon will not disappoint. Shawn Paul is a talented stylist and a wonderful human being. You will feel special sitting in his chair. All the other stylists and staff are lovely as well. The salon itself is a spectacular sight to see. The decor is beautiful and there are swings in the waiting room. Getting cut or color at this salon is an experience like no other!
