    Such an amazing experience with Joseph! He transformed my dark and uneven box dye hair to a masterpiece! My hair still feels healthy with a beautiful shine. The staff, especially Joseph, were friendly and welcoming. Couldn't ask for a better experience! Here's Joseph's instagram (it helped me pick the perfect hairstyle): @hairbyjosephanthony

    Happy face post hair coloring and cut with Karla!

    I am so, so happy to have finally found my hair home!! I have hunted around the city for some time, and through other reviews popped in here. I've been seeing Karla for about a year now - she is amazing. She understands what I'm asking for and always elevates it to a whole other level. I feel so lucky to have found her and the salon. Today I had my first appointment at their new location in old city -- wow, truly such a change. There really is nothing that needs improvement now - they have it all. Karla you're a queen! Thank you for the amazing color and cut!

    I came in yesterday to get a haircut with one of the senior stylists and had an overall great experience service-wise. From the shampooing to the cut to the blow drying, I felt like my stylist moved swiftly and expertly. However, I was a bit disappointed this morning. Even though my hair had looked fine yesterday after styling, today it looked chunky and uneven. Perhaps my stylist may not have been very experienced with Asian hair (she seemed very experienced from the bio posted on the ARS website). I will have to go get that fixed because I have a dressy occasion to go to later this week. A bit painful to have to shell out another $50+ to correct this, but good thing I got this haircut earlier in the week!

    Terrible experience. don't know where to begin. Went yesterday for a long scissor cut and the "devacurl transformation" and I have never been more disappointed. The appointment was split into two parts: the cut and the style. The master stylist Eric did the styling. I have naturally lose curls that i blow dry straight on a regular basis and I wanted to learn how to style my hair curly from a professional as all the information on the Internet is confusing. I was honest with Eric and told him exactly that. That I didn't know much about curly hair and wanted to learn. He seemed extremely offended for some reason and was downright rude to me. He was very uncommunicative throughout the service, simply grabbing the products and throwing them into my hair without saying a word until I ask him what products he's using. Even then his replies were abrupt and short. This would not have been a problem had it been a regular cut and style but this service is supposed to be so you can learn and talk about your hair care. I was struggling to keep a track of all the things he was using and the technique he was using while he yanked at my hair. It seemed like someone was forcing him to do the work and that it was very unpleasant for him. Admittedly, some of my questions may have sounded stupid to him since he's the "master stylist" but in all honesty, if I had known how to use the products on my own, I would NOT be paying for this service that actually says on the website is designed to help people learn the "fundamentals" of curl care. Being downright condescending and rude to clients is simply unacceptable. Anything he wanted to say could have been said in a nicer way. But his remarks and replies were simply insulting. One good thing I'll say is that I was happy with the end result, my curls seemed a lot more defined and healthy and I've already placed an order for all the products he used. However, I have never had such a rude hair stylist ever before. If only this was enough. The girl who cut my hair was Tatiana and she was incredibly nice and courteous. She made me feel welcome and listened to what I wanted. Unfortunately I'm extremely unhappy with the haircut she gave me. I'm attaching pictures taken right after I got home. Two strands of hair on one side of my head are hanging down noticeably lower than the rest of my hair. It looks so uneven and weird. I asked for subtle blended layers around the back for some movement which I think is a very simple request, nothing too drastic and has always yielded consistent results and multiple salons that I've tried. This cut seems to be given by an amateur and not a professional! It was not a cheap cut and now I'll have to go to another place to get it fixed. I am not super picky about my haircuts as everything sort of just works when you have long hair. But this haircut is just wrong, and shows plain incompetence. I feel really bad saying this because the stylist was so nice! Going through other reviews, it seems that uneven hair is a recurring problem at the salon. While she was cutting my hair I noticed the technique she was using seemed a bit strange as I've never had anyone cut my hair that way. So Maybe the salon needs to work on their technique. Will take pictures after I blow dry them straight to further show the uneven strands. Would also like to add that the salon does not have much ambience, it is cramped and shabby looking - although I don't care about that as this doesn't impact quality of service. Horrified and appalled at my experience. Especially since the salon claims to be "the best in Philadelphia" and all the stellar reviews. The two stars are for good customer service by Tatiana and the good curl routine by Eric. However, when you pay for a service, the least you expect is to be respected and to leave with even hair on both sides. Simply unacceptable. SO disappointed. Smh.

    Julie is not only INSANELY gorgeous, INSANELY talented, but she's an INSANELY kick-ass cool chick!!…read more I've been a big fan of hers for awhile now, and have heard nothing but incredible things from everyone. Her reputation is stellar! Ask anyone. No really, go ask! I finally had a reason to go get all jazzed up, and my only regret is that I didn't go sooner.... Julie did a full face of makeup, including contour and lashes. She knew the exact look I was going for...a deeper, darker slightly smokey eye and a pale lip. A nice warm fall look that made my green eyes pop. She made me feel so so sooooo beautiful! My skin was flawless and so soft!! My husband truly melted. I was so excited to see him, I felt like it was our wedding day all over again! It was pure joy. I told him I never felt prettier. It pained me to wash her work off. In fact, shhhhh....I left my eye makeup on for another day. Julie told me every product she used, gave me all sorts of insider tips: for makeup, skin, and more! She's seriously an expert on all things to make you feel and look your absolute best! No questions were off limits! She's totally rad & easy to talk to, and I loved gabbing about friends we have in common. Julie secures lashes using her own special technique, and while these types normally don't last too long in general, because of her skills, I was able to kept them on for almost a week, my entire anniversary trip! Wow!! Thank you, Julie! Julie does derma-planing and peels also! I will most certainly be making an appointment for that now that it's almost a good time to hibernate, although she said there's no downtime, rather it's just best if you're out of the direct sun. Julie hosts adorable kiddie virtual makeup classes and hosts parties! What a fun idea and a great way for your little girl to celebrate from afar during these crazy times! Julie will hands down be my go-to girl for almost everything now! She's referred me to many other specialists and gave me her links for discounts! She's seriously the best! During Covid she is seeing clients at remote locations and it couldn't have been easier to schedule. She of course wears a mask and makes sure you're keeping healthy and safe beforehand. Philly ladies, RUN to Julie!!!

Veronica was the FIRST mua that didn't pressure me into it... In fact, she actually agreed with me that I look better without it. THANK YOU!! I'm not crazy!!

After trying another high-rated salon in Philly and having a hairdresser try and fail to thin out my very thick hair for two hours, I did some research and came across Salon JKU. Even though they don't don't have an online booking platform, it was fairly easy to make an email inquiry, then book a time within the week over the phone. I booked with Amelia, and was really glad I did. She asked a lot of good questions about what I was looking for, then talked me through what she was going for. I get my hair cut every 6 months, so I was really just looking for someone to take out weight and give my hair some shape. Amelia gave me a wonderful short haircut with a lot of movement and texture. Her cut was meticulous and she took out an incredible amount of weight, yet maintained volume and body. After our discussions about my typical haircare routine, she gave me a cut that looks good without any styling. I really appreciated that, because sometimes the cut looks amazing after it's all blown out, but it's not a look that I can ever recreate at home. A few days after my appointment, someone asked me how I styled my hair, and I told them I didn't style it at all. They couldn't believe it because it visually had so much volume! The pricing is higher than other places that I have been in Philly (I paid $100 + tip), but in my opinion, it was totally worth it for one of the best haircuts I've received.

So I went on the phila queens Facebook group and posted for Asian hair stylist recommendations for both cut and color and someone kindly recommended salon JKU to me and after looking at their Instagram and their stylist personal Instagram's I decided that this was the best salon for Asian hair given a lot of the stylist are of Asian descent. I got a full head balayage done by Memmi (@coloristmemmi) and haircut done by Chris Sotos. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the results. PLEASE note this does not mean the salon is specialized in Asian hair only. I was the only Asian client in the salon yesterday. You definitely don't HAVE to be Asian to come here lol I just really really wanted my hair done by someone of Asian descent since I've never tried that before.
