I’ve been going to Sam for the past year, and she’s great! She always fixes my hair exactly how I want it to be. She’s super kind and attentive and tries to make your experience as relaxing as she can.

I got my eyebrows waxed (by Darian) tinted, and laminated as well as my lashes lifted and tinted (all by Rachel)! The girls were amazing and so sweet. Quick and thorough, got it all done for my wedding and I’m stoked because it looks so great.I also got curtain bangs by the best stylist, Laura Re! 💛 She was super sweet, made sure I was happy throughout the process and talked me through what she was doing. She gave me tips on how to style it best which is super helpful! Not to mention how perfect it turned out! 🥰 love this salon!

I absolutely love this place. I’ve been going here for over a year and all the workers make me and all their customers feel truly beautiful. I go to Laura and she does a phenomenal job on my hair. They are all so nice and they all work together as a team versus just a group of individuals that work together. They have amazing customer service and will make sure you leave feeling beautiful. They are all so experienced and you can tell that they all love being there. Great place to go. 10/10 recommend.

My experience at Zoe Grace was phenomenal. I was humbled by everyone's kindness. The massage chair and scalp massage both were heavenly. The color, cut and extensions are more than I ever imagined they would be. I'm delighted with hair! Thank you Zoe Grace Salon!

Laura is awesome! Very detail oriented & took time to listen regarding the look I was going for and executed it perfectly! The shampoo bowls are the best with an awesome headrest that doesn’t kill your neck. And the scalp massage is beyond any other. I could go every week just for that.

Every time I take my daughter to Zoe Grace Salon ,we are blown away with their professionalism, great service and perfection in color. You feel like a queen with their personal care. We travel an hour just to experience Zoe Grace Salon! I would recommend everyone to see what it's like to go to a LA or New York Salon, right in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky.

Love the attention to detail and education that's provided. The atmosphere is comfortable & inviting like I'm hanging out with friends. I feel the genuine desire to ensure I'm happy when I leave not just another client on the books.

I love my experiences here. The Salon is very clean and my appointment runs on time every time. Rhonda is always wonderful to work with and communicates very well with me about suggestions etc. I have thick curly hair and have found it difficult to find a stylist until I came here. You won’t be disappointed!

Jensen was very sweet, informative, and made sure I was happy with everything we were doing prior to doing it. The salon was clean and relaxing, the woman at the front desk was so welcoming and friendly. I loved my hair and I can't wait to come back.

Love this salon! Laura gave me a major new hair cut taking over 10+ inches off. I was hesitant if I would regret it afterwards but with Laura’s listening ear to all of my wants and needs with a new style, I am loving the short new style and am still getting compliments over a month later! This salon is beautifully and practically designed, starting with the consultation station at the front where we sat down unhurried to talk through everything I wanted. Looking forward to my next pampering day at Zoe Grace!

One of the best experiences I've had in a long time. Not once did I have to ask a question! Ashley was the most informative stylist and was very gracious with making sure I understood what she was doing every step of the way. Thank you Zoe Grace Salon!

I highly recommend Zoe Grace Salon and especially Rhonda. I only had a general idea of the cut and color I wanted and definitely needed help. Rhonda really listened, considered the shape and angles of my face to suggest a flattering cut, and gave me realistic expectations of the color we could achieve in that one visit. She gave me a tour of the salon, which is bright, clean, and a lot of thought went into the design and lighting of the workspaces. They offer snacks, drinks and massage chairs to sit in while waiting for color to process, and a relaxing head massage during wash out. We didn’t chit chat too much, which I appreciated because that gave me time to read my book, but she made sure to explain the different cuts and color steps she was taking. And I’m so happy with the results. The cut is amazing and the color is so beautiful, and the total price was less than I anticipated!! Definitely planning to return.

The people were very nice and hospitable. The place was modern and clean. My haircut was okay and the balayage was a little disappointing. However, they were more than willing to fix it free of charge, but I live out of town and left 2 days later.

Have been going to Ella King, Salon owner for 10 years. She uses the best products and focuses on stylist training. Her and her stylists are experts in hair coloring, hairstyles, up dos, Brazilian Blowout and more. You will leave with a “Hello” and a “Goodbye” Gorgeous!

Every time I go to Ella's salon, I have the best experience! Most recently I went in for my normal highlights but the color turned out even more amazing then I expected! And she gave me a more modern haircut and I love it. It styles so cute and lays the right way. You busy moms know what I’m talking about! I always feel like I'm getting the best service and from someone that is extremely knowledgeable at what she does. I appreciate all the time she takes to explain things to me as well. Thank you Ella for all that you do! Would highly recommend her!

Everyone at Zoe Grace Salon is so nice and friendly. Ronda cut and styled my hair and she always does a great job. She also gave me tips on how best to style my hair and get the extra volume I want. I am constantly getting compliments on my hair and I always send them Rondas way 🙂

Everyone was very friendly and Jensen did a great job on my hair! The color is perfect and she always listens to exactly what I'm looking for in a cut. I have curly hair, and she is well versed in how to cut and style curls. So glad I found this place!

I chose a 10 because the service was excellent and the hairdresser, knows his stuff. My hair always looks amazing after he has finished with my hair. It totally comes alive. He is extremely talented and very personable. I was very comfortable in the environment and was made to feel at home. Hunter Walden is the best.

This was my first time at this salon, the staff was very friendly from the time I walked in to leaving. Tiffany did a great job on tinting my eyebrows and lashes. I recommend seeing her!

Absolutely amazing salon! Everyone is extremely friendly from the second you walk in the door and also very knowledgeable about the products. I love how my stylist takes the time to explain everything to me and can easily recommend options I may not have thought of originally. Lastly, I’m a flight attendant and travel constantly for work, making scheduling appointments difficult, but never here. The date I need is usually available and if it’s not rescheduling isn’t a problem. Honestly this place is perfect and I’m so happy I found you guys!!

Zoe Grace has been nothing short of amazing. My daughters and I all go and have a wonderful experience each time. The stylists are talented and can execute anything we’ve requested. The salon is so clean and they make you feel like a Queen for a day. I also love the products they use, and don’t ever feel pressured to buy any. We can’t wait to go back:)

Had an amazing experience at the Salon today for myself and my daughter, Caitlin! I love my color! Rhonda did it exactly the way I have been envisioning it for awhile. She explained every step of the process. Jensen cut my kiddo’s hair and then braided it and made her feel special. Especially by taking her pics. 😊 We are already excited about our next appointments.

I’ve been to so many salons in the area, but I was never truly satisfied until I came to Zoe Grace Salon. I’ve been coming to Hannah at the salon for about four months now and whether it be for a hair color or a cut, the service is amazing. The entire staff is friendly and helpful as well, making the salon experience amazing. I love this salon and I definitely recommend it to all of my friends!

Zoe Grace Salon is Amazing! As soon as you walk in the door they are so welcoming and inviting. From the massage chairs, the coffee, drinks to the head message during the shampoo is an experience that will wipe away all your day's stress. Tracie does amazing work, she is a true designer and artist of hair. Can't wait to go back!

These ladies are wonderful! I was completely lost about what I wanted to do with my hair when I walked in. They helped me figure out would look best on me and my hair turned out so beautiful! Rhonda was my stylist and I highly recommend asking for her. She takes her time and does beautiful work. I will definitely being going back! The best salon I've ever been to!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY HAIR!!! I have always had long curly hair and have always been so afraid to change it, especially cutting it short, but I really wanted a new look and more manageable hair. Ella is so brilliant at what she does that she gave me the confidence to trust her in dramatically changing my hair. As soon as my look was completed....I was instantly amazed and so grateful that she took the time and had the talent to know what would look best for me. My hair is the shortest it has ever been so it is so much easier to manage and style and this look Ella created is the BEST my hair has EVER looked. It's as if this the way my hair was always supposed to look...and Ella knew it was the right look for me. This salon is one of a kind. From the positive atmosphere to the amazing Head massage with Shampooing to looking and feeling amazing by the time I leave. I highly recommend this salon if u are looking for THE BEST look and experience money can buy!

Absolutely gorgeous salon, so inviting and relaxing, I highly recommend a visit to this salon, you'll never want to leave. Kaitlyn Herms is a fantastic stylist, she's the best, very talented with color, if you want to make a change make an appointment with her. I loved it, can't wait to go back

Ella did hair and make-up for my wedding for myself and my bridesmaids. She did and incredible job! Ella took the extra time to travel to our wedding site so that I could get ready at the venue and even brought extra stylists with her to make sure my whole wedding party was taken care of and able to get ready on time. She did an incredible job on my hair and make-up and took the time to meet with me before hand to make sure she knew what I wanted. Ella went above and beyond! It was so nice to have one less thing to worry about!
