David Broadway Salon & Spa

07/23/2008 Posted by italy1000

I used to live in Toledo and have moved to New York City 2 years ago. While in Toledo I always got my hair cut at David Broadway Salon. I always had a good experience. The cuts were always what I wanted and asked for, the staff friendly and knowledgeable. No one ever treated me with disrespect. The prices are reasonable as well. For those complaining about the cost and or rudeness you should come and check out Manhattan salons!!!! And for those commenting that only beautiful model types get hired: My stylist was maybe a little on the heavy side and for sure not a "super model" but always well put together and an inspiration. You can't blame a business like this to not want to have frumpy people around. I wish I had a salon like this nearby now!!!!!!

Pros: big city feel for small town prices

Cons: maybe a bit unpersonal as so big a space

I have been coming to DB salon for a long time and love it. The salon is absolutely beautiful and everyone I ever worked with has been super friendly and competent. I usually get Highlights and the color department does a fantastic job. My hair is straight and fine and I always feel like a million bucks when I come home. I have also had manicures, pedicures and other spa services. I have never been treated rude or pushed into services I did not want. The staff has always been friendly and professional. David is an absolute doll and always takes the time to say hello in person. I know that a lot of the people that work there constantly go through more training and take classes to improve their skills. They have won a lot of awards and you don't just get those handed for nothing! I can only highly recommend this salon to anyone.

Pros: fabulous looking salon, friendly staff, best in Toledo

Cons: gets busy sometimes

I asked the girl for a trim. I wanted to keep my hair long. I told her to take off an inch, and the dead ends. She started cutting my wavy hair WET. She started cutting and I knew she took off more than an inch. She took off like 4 inches. SHe didn't realize that when you cut WET hair, it becomes shorter especially with wavy hair. Then she layered it too much in the front and I came out with a drastically different haircut. I just wanted my hair to be shaped up, but the stylist was too busy chatting with me to pay attention to her work. Then they tried to push another appointment and a product I didn't want on me. There is no way I'm ever going back or recommending this salon to any of my friends. Then, when I called and complained, the manager just offered for me to come in for a consultation. I didn't want a consultation or these people touching my hair ever again. I should have been offered a refund or free products but instead they wanted more of my time, and as a busy person, I didn't have time to give. So I just told her to forget it, to which the manager merely responded, "Are you sure? I feel bad!" And the matter was forgotten. I don't recommend ANYONE going to this salon. It is supposed to be a ritzy salon, but it's just low quality haircuts in an ambiance or decor that don't reflect the salon's inflated prices.

Pros: None

Cons: Overpriced, a staff that doesn't listen, low skill of the staff

The reception area was nice, but the haircut I got was really mediocre. She didn't know how to dry my naturally curly hair, and it came out in a huge frizzy mess. I told her that it was bigger than I usually like my hair, and she went over it with a flat iron with no improvement. I had requested somebody that can work with curly hair when I made my appointment. Usually I can go to a salon and leave with sleek straight hair. When I left, I was pressured to make another appointment and the price was pretty high, especially for the bad styling. My colleagues had good experiences, but I felt it was over priced and pushy. I won't go back.

I took the recommendation of a coworker to go to David Broadway. I spent $50some dollars to have less than an inch of hair cut off and to deal with rude, pushy staff members for the whole half hour I was there. I was told at another salon that she had been interviewed at D.B. by the owner and that unless you're gorgeous, you basically don't get hired. I tried to put that image away and went to my appointment anyway. Although I am younger and make more than the majority of the people I saw in there, I was still being judged like I was not good enough for them to be in there. They are fake, rude and try to push you into buying and booking more appointments. I would never go back. I prefer salons with friendly staff who don't roll their eyes at their clients.

Pros: beautiful layout and lighting

Cons: pushy staff, poor haircut
