About Us

Established in downtown Dayton, Ohio since 1999.

Our Story

The first Square One Salon and Spa opened in 1999 in an underserved neighborhood in downtown Dayton. Our goal was to create a great salon and spa for guests to enjoy while providing a beautiful, creative environment for our team. It was important for us to deliver exceptional education, a 401(k), health insurance and other perks to our team—giving them a great place to work and support themselves and their families. We believe our guests include our team members and we strive to deliver the best experience for everyone. These ideals helped form our Four Corner Focus which includes Community, Charity, Customer Service and Culture.

As we grew, it was important to provide opportunities for key employees that have been with us from the beginning. We were able to offer these employees ownership. Our company grew from the three original owners (Doug, Brent and Josh), to eight that now include Alan, Angie, Canaan, Lori and Misty. We love what we do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions or concerns? Feel free to browse commonly asked questions from our customers.

<p>Our prices are individualized based on the level of the service provider. We have levels to fit every budget from New Talent, Designer, Advanced, Master &amp; Director Level Stylists, to our Specialist and Master Levels in our spa. All pricing is labeled at &ldquo;starting-at&rdquo; (+) pricing and may change based on your end result. Take a look at our <a href="/level-system">level system</a> glossary to see which may suit you best.</p>

<p>So many choices, where do I go? If you need a root touch up or an all over color with no dimension, book a color appointment.</p> <p>Highlights are woven pieces of hair that are lighter (highlights) or darker (lowlights) than your natural hair or base hair color.  If you are wanting some dimension, from a partial highlight, 10 pack, or full head of highlights, schedule a highlight.</p> <p>Balayage are hand painted highlights that give a customized, natural look, blending hair seamlessly.</p>

<p>Our Wavy, Curly & Coily styling and haircutting services are customized for your specific curl pattern. Pricing of these services is based on the time it takes to give your curls, coils or waves the attention they deserve to leave you looking and feeling your best!  </p> <p>Not sure of your hair texture? Check out our to find the right service for you!</p>

<p>If you’d like to secure the day, time, and service provider for a recurring appointment at Square One Salon and Spa, our Guest Care Team will be happy to help schedule a standing appointment at your preferred location.</p>

<p>• All services include complimentary water or Aveda Comforting Tea.</p> <p>• We ask that you disclose any medical conditions and/or prescription medications you are taking as some services may be contra-indicated.</p> <p>• Please be assured that your safety is our ultimate goal. All salons, spa materials, and equipment have been professionally sanitized for each guest.</p> <p>• As a precaution, please do not wax or shave your legs 24-hours before receiving a pedicure and avoid tanning 24-48 hours before and after hair removal services.<br /> To preserve the results of your pedicure service, please allow at least 1 hour for the nail lacquer to adequately dry. As a courtesy to our guests, disposable flip flops are available free of charge and can be worn after your service.</p> <p>• We request that you leave all jewelry and other valuables at home as Square One is not responsible for lost or stolen items.</p>

<p>We accept the following payment types: Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, Gift Cards & Cash. Personal and travelers checks are no longer accepted as a form of payment.</p> <p>If using a Square One Salon and Spa gift card as payment, we ask that you bring your gift card with you and present it upon checkout.</p>

<p>Tipping is always left to your discretion. For your convenience, we offer personal tip envelopes for cash, or can run your credit card for a specified amount for gratuity.</p>

<p>Children are only welcome at the salon when they have an appointment. So that guests may relax and enjoy their time at Square One, please have your children on their best behavior, accompanied by an adult or left at home so you can get the most out of your time at the salon or spa.  </p> <p>If booking a haircut for your child, please schedule them for a Cut/Style or Barber Cut. As children’s services take the same amount (or sometimes longer) time than an adult service, we charge the same for these services. We do not perform closed-door services on people under the age of 18 years old.</p>

<p>We are pleased to return any unopened product purchased from our salon within the past 30 days. We are happy to provide a sample of any AVEDA product before you purchase.
