KSU Students and Staff who want to LOOK GREAT at KENT STATE come to A CUT ABOVE! 

​

From basic cuts to line work and expert hair color, A Cut Above stylists have provided excellent hair and spa services since 1982. We love helping Kent State students and Kent-area residents  share their beauty with the world. Have a question? We're happy to discuss your hair and style questions on the phone: - 330.673.9222 -  or text your stylist directly. (Thanks, COVID) In order to stay safe during the pandemic, we cannot take walk-ins, but we are REALLY flexible with scheduling and can usually work with you to get  the appointment time you want.  

 

We think you'll agree with our clients, who say we're friendly, experienced and helpful. And great listeners, too!

​

Affordable Style for Students, Kent State Staff and Faculty...

Located just over the Fairchild Bridge, we are within about a block of downtown Kent and super-close to Sheetz

​

...and, we have Free Parking! 

​

Whether you need an up-do or special occasion look (are you ready for Homecoming?), eyebrows and facial hair removal, nail care and repair (mani/pedi), a facial, or a massage, we're here for you, Tuesday through Saturday. Evening appointments available - and walk-ins are welcome.  

​

Experienced Stylists, Up-to-Date Skills 

Our stylists are constantly learning new techniques and updating their skills.  Whether you want a little polish (to get ready for graduation? or a job interview?!) or a brand new look, A Cut Above is your Kent State style destination - just a short walk from campus.

​

Want to Show Off YOUR New Style? Let Us Know! 

We love to share our clients' before-and-after pics here. If you've just got a new cut, color, or style, or just  love your eyebrows, or nail color  - and would like to be featured here, let your stylist know. We change out our Kent State STYLE pictures frequently. Maybe you and your new look should be featured here!   

​

We also share our clients' images (with permission of course!) on Facebook and Twitter. If you're the kind of girl (or guy) who likes to share, don't be shy! Let your stylist know and we'll share your new look here and there - and you can share it everywhere! We use the #KentStateBeauty  Twitter hashtag to show Kent State some love. Feel free to share! And while you're there, see our lists featuring Cool Kent People, KSU Organizations, and more
