Salons in Cleveland

Forty salons are listed in Cleveland's 44109 ZIP, which covers a chunk of the city's near-west and southwest side including portions of Old Brooklyn and Brooklyn Centre. The count is high for a single ZIP and reflects the dense residential population and the steady neighborhood-business culture that has characterized these older west-side neighborhoods for decades.

The top of the listing by name includes Ballado's Barbershop and Hairsalon, Sley Esthetics, Through the Looking Glass Hair Salon, Shulon's Personal Touch Salon, and Bath & Body Works. The mix spans full-service salons, barbershops, esthetics studios, and at least one national retail chain that operates under the broader beauty-and-personal-care category. The presence of independent operators alongside the chain reflects the typical urban-neighborhood pattern where local salons hold the bulk of repeat business and chains serve walk-in retail demand.

The directory does not capture rating or review data for this set, which means the listings function as a contact reference rather than a quality ranking. For salons specifically, Google, Yelp, and Instagram carry more consumer-review depth than a standard directory listing, and most hiring decisions for stylists happen through neighborhood word of mouth or social media follows.

For licensed cosmetology services in Ohio, the State Board of Cosmetology issues and renews stylist, barber, esthetician, and nail technician licenses. The board maintains a free online license-lookup tool that returns current status, expiration date, and any disciplinary history. Verify any practitioner's license through the board before booking a chemical service or any procedure that requires a specific credential.

Pricing in this part of Cleveland typically runs modestly below the higher rates seen in the eastern suburbs and the Lakewood and Tremont corridors. Cuts, cuts and styles, and basic color services in 44109 generally fall within a working-neighborhood price tier. Color correction, extensions, and other specialty work can run significantly higher, and final pricing depends on hair length and condition. Confirm pricing by phone before booking, especially for chemical services.

For specialty work, including custom color, extensions, or medical-grade esthetics, some practitioners in the area work by appointment from booth rentals or studio arrangements that may not appear in standard directory data.
