Great, upscale salon

by loridz at Citysearch

loved this salon. I was referred here, and was somewhat nervous as I have been seeing the same stylist elseswhere for 8 years. Anyway, I went in looking for a change, and I got exactly what I wanted. Service was quick and friendly, the staff was very nice, and they fit me in for a brow appointment on the spot, on a Saturday. I will be going back.

• Pros: Beautiful facility, attentive staff, great stylists
• Cons: location

David Broadway to be AVOIDED

by Bennie58 at Citysearch

I went to David Broadway to get my hair colored red. They did not even have hair"Swatches' to choose color from-only pictures in a book. The woman who worked on me ended up dying my hair brown as opposed to red. When I saw it after it was dried, I was extremely disappointed. I told the stylist when she asked me what I thought. She was very nice in offering to redo it the next day, etc. I ended up paying for the service, gave her a nice tip and immediately went to a different salon. They did a gorgeous job and the stylist was wonderful. The place I ended up going to was Reve. I will not return to David Broadway again. In addition, I am in total agreement with the comments about the staff being snobby and above everyone. After all, it is hair styling-not brain surgery they are doing.In NYC they would be laughed at (I am originally from there so I speak with some degree of knowledge). It is also very noticeable that they are hurting for clients as barely anyone is in their parking lot anymore-people are sick of being riipped off...

• Pros: Very poor coloring job
• Cons: Went in to get hair colored red..left in tears with brown ha

Lament from Long Time Customer

by jgoffsylvania at Citysearch

As a long time customer, I'm used to paying a premium price for service and atmosphere that has usually lived up to expectations. However, in the last 12-18 months the atmosphere is suffering. The carpets at the entry are worn to the point of nasty, the spa area carpet squares are peeling up and the general appearance is just all-over "worn out" looking. The service is slipping along with the facade. When you call, expect to be put on hold, yet if you are in the salon, you can see 3 people at the front desk area just standing around talking. I'd suggest they get rid of the "greeter" and put that person behind the check out desk. Let customers check in and out at one location. I understand the salon is managed by an out-of-town business partner. That could be the problem. Come on David! Give us back the old Grand Salon!

• Pros: Historically, this has been THE place to go in Toledo
• Cons: Decor is beginning to look shabby and worn

Advice

by mscathylhilliard at Citysearch

I have read these reviews...good and bad...I just moved to the area and have been going to a salon in my area. The girl I went to was very nice but I never felt that the outcome really reflected what I paid for it. I have naturally curly hair and really need someone that specializes in my hair type and the ability to color it well. I have heard things about David Broadway, good and bad. Other than David, can anyone advise me on other options as well?

Thank you!

Always get a great cut!!!!

by smchc at Citysearch

I moved to Columbus about 2 years ago and I REALLY MISS David Broadway! As, I read some of the other reviews I could not believe some of the things written, especially about being judged by the staff...that is ludicrous! When I lived in the area and was a client there I was about 25- every time I went in everyone was very polite and NEVER pushed me to buy product I couldn't afford and I never felt like I was being judged. Most importantly my hair always looked fabulous when I left, they know how to cut and color for your specific hair type!

I live in a much larger city now with more options, but nothing as good as DB!

Also, a lot of salons promote the stylist because of the amount of product they sell, DB does it based on classes they take and training done- So you are paying more for someone with more experience (not someone who sold the most shampoo), but whatever level of stylist you get you are sure to get a great cut!

• Pros: Staff, Product, Atmosphere
• Cons: I do wish it wasn't quite so pricey, but you definately pay for what you get here!

good value, high style

by italy1000 at Citysearch

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

fabulous salon, more style than anything else in Toledo

by felicitasnyc at Citysearch

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
