Yelp.com Review - by Gail D.

5.0 of 5 stars. The one thing in my life that is 100% low maintenance is my hair. We have an unspoken agreement that I won't torture it with products and instruments and it will in return not look like cold booty. So...

Yelp.com Review - by Catherine L.

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been to a lot of salons in Philly. I'm sort of a slut of salons, I'll admit it. I've been around. But I'm not to blame, it's my hair. Really, I swear. I've got long curly hair and it's like my...

Most Fabulous Salon in Philadelphia

Salon at 5th is by far and away, hands down, the best salon in Philadelphia. Not only is the staff professional, but insanely cool. Going to the salon is usually such a drag, but not when John or Bernadette...

Unprofessional nightmare

My hair is in bad condition and very difficult to deal with. That is why I go to a professional salon instead of cutting it myself like I normally would. But apparently my stylist, John, was more clueless than...

Terrific place to style mens' hair and beards

Good deal in Center City

I'm a twenty-somthing finicky female, and Lauren has done a great job with my hair and eyebrows (and ladies you know you can't trust those to just anyone). The prices are reasonable for a Center City salon.

Great Find

Walked in randomly thinking it seemed kinda blah. But Lauren did a great job! Did highlights and a neat cut for a total of $130 which was way better than I had been paying and a comprable job, if not better.
