Our Story
Where artistry meets self-expression in the heart of Columbus.
The Gilded Lady & The Faded Gent
Born from a shared passion for hair artistry and self-expression, The Gilded Lady & The Faded Gent represents a new vision of what a salon can be. We're a collective of independent artists who came together to create a space where creativity thrives and every guest leaves feeling like their best self.
