Very happy

The best!!! I've been to many c.c salons that claim to be funky, I was going to give up until I was introduced to Francesca, she is all that and more!!!!! The consultation was a great unique idea. I had my service done shortly after the consultation and was blown away by her attention to detail and passion. 2months later I still get stopped and complimented on my cut and color. YOU GO FRANCESCA!!

She MAY (?) know what she is talking about, but you won't like how she says it.

Outstanding!!

Philly's best kept secret...or not for long. Never have had someone get so excited about my hair. The attention to detail was mindblowing, what you would expect from a NYC salon is right here in Philly. Francesca is trully an artist. Jenni worked her magic on shaping my brows. I walked out with a spring in my step and look the best ever. Thank you again/
