I was born and raised in Philly; lived here my whole life and there's no other Korean salon in the Greater Philadelphia area that I would now be more inclined to trust than this place. Owned by a mother daughter team. They are super professional, kind, and genuinely want to give you the best hairdo; for you to look and feel your best! The owner gave such great advice on how to properly maintain my hair (I have a double processed balayage). She went above and beyond to ensure that she understood exactly what kind of hairstyle I wanted. And she clearly communicated what my best options were in order to maintain the health of my hair. She was very knowledgeable and very apt to educate me on best hair care practices. If you work a typical 8am - 5pm and are only available late evenings and weekends (like my schedule), you need to schedule an appointment way in advance. So call her early and book as soon as you can ! read more

I always come here for my combo perm and there is no one else that can do the surgery to my hair like WJ!! Amazing!

I recently moved to the area and was in search of a new hairstylist. I got highlights here a couple of months ago and I've never been so satisfied with the color. Woo Jin is very professional and cares about her work. I'll definitely be a returning customer. read more

Arte Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - North Wales, Pennsylvania

Stopped by two weeks ago for a much needed cut and color. I was used to traveling to Philly for a $300 color job that needed to be retouched every month, but after researching salons near me, I came across ARTE. I didn't know what to expect but the reviews here were very much positive so I trusted that I would be in good hands. I really hated my long, dry hair (especially for the summer) and I wanted to chop it up to above my shoulders. Although I didn't get the length I wanted in the end, I'm happy with the medium-length cut I received because it suits me perfectly. Maybe I'll experiment with shorter styles in my next appointment--for now though, I'm satisfied. I didn't even have to ask for a layered cut that wasn't just sliced straight across (which seems to be the standard for most American salons); my stylist cut it perfectly. I've never had such silky hair, and I don't even need to style it in the morning for it to look good. She said I didn't need to come back for a few months, which is a relief since I'm constantly busy teaching and studying! I had an overgrown balayage/ombre with black roots, which my stylist dyed to a lighter brown. Now, my ends are so ashy they're almost gray, which creates a natural, pretty ombré. Both the cut and the dye took around three hours, and costed half of what I would usually pay (tip not included) at a salon in Philly. They were very friendly and accommodating, and the salon was clean and modern. You get a locker to put your things in, and a tray for your phone and other essential belongings. They also stick a plastic guard to keep the products from splashing onto your face. Looking forward to going back! read more

Amazing hair salon with a super dedicated and passionate hairstylist! Woo-jin took all of the necessary precautions to keep herself and her clients safe and comfortable during the COVID-19 pandemic. She ensures that you keep your mask on throughout the whole visit and she only works with one client at a time to truly focus on them. She is a true artist who transformed my dry, brittle, yellow untoned hair into shiny, healthy and beautifully balayaged hair. read more

I got the digital rolling perm done last week for my birthday and I love it! The curls couldn't be more perfect. They are bouncy, soft & silky. No frizz, no chemical odor, no damage and no tangles. Make sure you purchase the leave-in hair treatment for maintenance free hair. It keeps my curls super smooth all day long & smells great! Due to my long hair, the whole process took 5 hours but it was definitely worth the wait! They were extremely accommodating: offering beverages, snacks & reading material. Last minute, my boyfriend decided to get his hair cut to help pass the time and he was impressed. Not only are they great with women'shair, they are great with men's hair as well! I would definitely recommend this salon to everyone regardless of age or gender. read more

Went back for a trim, 5 months after my combination perm. Despite my waves growing back in at the roots, she knows how to cut and style (and give you tips so you can do it yourself!) to make it look like a fresh perm! I'm still loving my perm, the ease, convenience, and overall look of it. I've had many friends recently getting digital perms, and I have to say, my friends getting their hair done at ARTE are looking GOOD- a level above the other salons! These ladies really know what they're doing. And they're so nice and affordable!! *Update: my hair over a year later is still looking good I think. Requires some maintenance but the perm was so worth it. read more

I've been coming to Arte for my fabulous haircuts for a few yrs and they're AH-MAZING. Her passion is hair and she takes her time to deliver you exactly what you want! Highly recommend everyone for your next hair care! Here are some pictures of my hair over the years: read more

This is my second visit, and I left with a big smile. She is very patient and detailed oriented. She just knows what I want and what I need without a lot of explaining. She is the best. Hair coloring and cut with a beautiful blow dry - very well spent money. I won't go anywhere else but them to get my hair done. read more

This review is several years overdue because I was selfish and wanted to keep Arte a secret (it took me almost 1 year and several botched haircuts from places that supposedly specialize in Asian hair). Why? Because I wanted to be able to get an appointment pretty quickly, but the last several times, it's been easy getting an appointment and my hair still looks great even when it's a few months past when I should get a haircut. One time, someone asked me where I get my hair cut because she loved my hairstyle (this was 3-4 months since my cut and I went out without styling my hair). If you want a hair stylist who actually spends time on your hair (1 hour is typical) instead of rushing you out, give Arte Salon a chance. If she's with a client, she doesn't like to answer phones, but she will call you back as soon as possible. In the years since I've been going here, not once am I pressured to buy hair products or do something I don't want. Honestly, my hair always seems to come back to life every time I get my hair cut here. Don't let my lack of creative writing deter you from giving this place a chance. Worth checking out if you're looking for a place that actually KNOWS how to cut Asian hair, or just a place where thr stylist spends more than 20 minutes on you. read more

I went to ARTE today for a haircut and was so glad I found this place! As most reviewers have mentioned, this salon is operated by a mother/daughter duo. The mother speaks mainly Korean but the daughter speaks great English. I had very long hair that I was keeping for my friend's wedding, but now that it's over I want it short(ish). I had some ideas of what I wanted, and my stylist (the daughter) gave me great suggestions/tips based on my features. She really took her time with the haircut and was easy to talk to. My appointment, with wash, cut, and a really cute blow out, took about an hour. Their rates are extremely reasonable especially for the service provided. I will absolutely return in the future! read more

After years of going to the same salon with the same drab color results no matter how many times I asked for "something" fresher, I took the bold step to find a solution. (Old habits are hard to break). Yelp helped! I kept searching for someplace in the region, with high marks for color and cut. ARTE Salon kept coming out on top. I went yesterday for the first time, and now I'm one of those positive Yelp reviews. Everything everyone wrote is true. The stylists (mom and daughter) are welcoming, warm, and pampering. The salon is spotless. Seems spa-like. Before starting, the stylist took a long time looking at my hair quality and color. Just as important, she listened to me. But most of all, my hair was literally transformed from a dull dark blond brittle mass into a vibrant head of hair. It's shiny and silky. I think it's a combination of the talented stylist and the lovely all-natural Japanese products they use. I'm sold. PS - Kim right and wrong about the phone. First, the number is correct and working, but it's a small shop without a receptionist. Don't be deterred!!! Leave a message. Your call will be returned quickly. It's worth it. You'll see. read more

Would have loved to try out this salon because of the great reviews, but they never answer the phone whenever I try to make an appointment. I leave messages and they do call me back, but because I'm busy at work, I end up missing their call and then when I call back, it goes to voicemail again. I realize it's a small salon, but COME ON. I'm the customer, why do I have to be waiting at my phone all day to make a simple appointment? read more

I'm a 22 year old female. After I chopped my hair into a short bob with my own hands, I've been struggling to find the right place to go to fix it up. After going to two other salons, who did not give me what I wanted, I decided to give ARTE a shot (one of my friends who got a digital perm recommended it to me). By the time I got to ARTE, my hair was truly a complete mess. I've dyed my hair twice at home and had cut it on my own as well, so you could imagine just how horrible my hair was. On my first visit, she cut, dyed, and gave me a hair nutrient treatment (not sure exactly what it's called). Throughout the hair treating process, she constantly made sure she was giving me what I wanted without pressuring me to do other random things I didn't want. The place is owned and managed by mother and daughter, who obviously can communicate with each other and to their clients professionally and kindly. Amazing compliments from literally everyone I saw all throughout the week. Today was my second visit (photos posted!), and I decided to get the Korean Magic. Not a lot of non-Asians know about this but it's pretty much a straightening perm that lasts forever (or at least 6 months). So for someone who has super frizzy hair that folds and bends in all sorts of directions, this perm is a must. I get it at least once every two years to keep my hair manageable. It took relatively shorter than other places and they took extra care as not to burn me (even made the effort to use varying heat levels depending on how damaged each portion of my hair was). Needless to say, they truly care about their clients and satisfaction. After many disappointments at many other hair salons, ARTE Salon is the place I will be returning to for cuts, colors, and perms. Highly recommend! :) read more

I got my haircut on Friday but waited until after washing my hair to leave the review. I must say I'm very impressed! The owner is very detailed and passionate with her work. She is also very knowledgeable of your face shape and hair type so she can give you the haircut that best compliments your face. I got a perm 6 months ago and she manifested my permed hair amazingly! She cut it and manage to leave a bit of the c and s curl behind (which is from the perm) so that my hair does not look flat (lob/bob hair can look very flat, especially if you have naturally straight hair like I do). She is an artist!! Also, she doesn't take walk-ins and only takes reservations so call for reservations before coming so you're not wasting your time driving! The reason why she doesn't take walk-ins is that she can solely concentrate on working with one customer and provide the best service! That's to me is pure passion! P/s: Thank you so much! I thoroughly enjoy my haircut and my experience! I'll return! - Trang. read more

I had a digital rolling perm done at ARTE Salon yesterday after seeing pics on a friend's FB page. I've had this done in the past, but it was so expensive where I had it done that I didn't think I'd do it again. A few things about my experience there: Ambiance: decor is simple and clean and I did feel relaxed being there. They offered refreshments, which was nice. The music in the background was also calming. Prices: Much less expensive than what I paid last time I did this. Considering the results and amount of time spent, it's a good deal. Stylist: The owner was very friendly and accomodating to my needs. She seems to be a bit of a perfectionist, so she wants to get it just right. She is good about asking what you want to do as well as providing feedback for what might look best. Overall, a great experience. I have really long hair that is pretty frizzy and can be hard to work with sometimes so I'm happy with the results. For people who think this is high maintenance, I beg to differ- It took me 5 minutes to do my hair this morning. Love the convenience! Highly recommend. P.S. it's not a short process so expect to be there for a few hours, depending on the amount of hair read more

Came here on a last minute whim when I really needed a haircut badly but didn't feel like driving out to cheltenham to my normal place. Gave them a call and there was a spot available within the hour. Upon arrival I immediately notice the salon itself is beautiful! The waiting room is Cozy and private and there's refreshments that you can help yourself to. There's lockers to keep your things in while you are being service and the the overall atmosphere is wonderful. The haircut itself was flawless. I had hair down my back and it was damaged from constant use of heat. She took care of all of that and my hair is a flattering and shoulder length. Huge weight off my neck. My hairstylist was such a wonderful person and I'm glad I have someone can trust with my hair again and so close to my home. Will be back! read more

So update from before... the owner called because she saw my review and felt really bad that it did not work. Which was very nice. So I am rescheduled to do the treatment again! I really don't want to review this place low but... So my first time at this salon last year was amazing!!! I loved the place, the service was great and she was very professional and super kind... still super nice and kind but I got the same treatment this time around and the results was not anything like the first time. The service was good but the result was terrible! I don't understand what she did because my hair looks exactly the same before I went! I even paid more for a "recommended touch up"... the first time I went I paid $300 for the straight perm and my hair went 2 inches past my shoulders. It came out super straight and silky for almost an entire year! Loved it! The second time I go she recommends just a touch up and I was like are you sure my hair isn't super straight like before and she said it's so it doesn't get crispy and damaged... I took her advice because I don't know, this was only my second time with this. Then she tells me when I pay that it will be 350! I'm confused because she only did my roots and that didn't even go past my ears and last year it was 300 to do my hair that went past my shoulders... after I washed my hair a couple of days later my hair was so frizzy! The roots were smooth but underneath that area it was so frizzy... I called her and she said it will even out... it did not but worse 3 weeks later my top looks like how it started and my hair is not how it should be... I spent most of last year just getting up and brushed it a little bit and go. It was awesome. Now I have to put smoothing cream on my hair to keep it smoothish and try to make it look straight! It's bad especially when you feel like you wasted $350 for nothing. I'd rather spend the extra $50 to get my entire hair done so it would be straight and smooth... I'm so mad every time I look at my hair in the morning because I have to do my hair when I shouldn't have too:( the picture is of one of last year where it was like that most of the year, the others are with smoothing cream to tame it. It's more frizzy without stuff in my hair. I'm so sad that it didn't work this time:; read more

I will never go to another salon - Arte salon is the best! I have gotten the Japanese Thermal Straightening twice, and each time I am so impressed with the service. The owner is very, very careful about damaging your hair. In fact, she refused to do a more expensive treatment on me because she said it would damage my hair too much. She is much more concerned with a happy customer than getting more money. We ended up compromising on a less damaging version of the treatment. During the treatment, she adds protein treatments for free to minimize the damage. She and her mother work together, so the treatment takes 1-2 hours less than someone working alone. And she charges a third to half (!!!) of what other salons charge for the treatment. She doesn't push products or treatments on you and she gives great advice on hair care. I have also gone here for a trim and I was again impressed with the service. She pays attention to detail and makes you look like a rockstar when you leave. You get super high quality salon service at very reasonable prices. She and her mom are friendly, warm people - they truly care and they are very experienced. The salon is clean, quiet, and relaxing. She works fast but not rushed. The salon isn't convenient for me to get to, but I make the effort because it is worth it! read more

My fav salon! Miss it so much since leaving for Boston! Always professional and patient

I've tried so many different hair stylists and finally, I've found the one! I know I'm picky but other ones just don't understand how to cut this thick hair. I love how she recommended the style for me and take time to get it right. And yeah, super nice and friendly!! Worth driving over an hour anytime read more

Finally found my hair dresser! I went to Arte Salon yesterday to get my hair cut. Normally I am afraid to get my hair cut because some dressers just like to cut a lot of hair right off and try to style it. BUT, when I came to Arte I told her I do not want to make my hair short and she accommodated my desire. I totally support small family own businesses because they take care of you. Just make sure you make an appointment ahead of time. PROS: 1.) The Staff are EXTREMELY friendly, generous, funny, and social. 2.) When your hair is being washed, they DO NOT pull your hair like other places do, they gently wash your hair and do it in a way in which it is so nice and relaxing. 3.) The furniture is beautiful and the decor is nice and clean. 4.) Ladies if you are like me and love to put on your makeup almost everyday, DO NOT be afraid because they put a shield on your forehead to prevent any water, soap or hair on your face (So your makeup looks totally fine). 5.) The hair dresser is honest about what may look good on you and how to better the hairstyle you pick by adding TEXTURE. 6.) The hair dresser also told me, " I have to be humble and caring to your hair." And she took care of my hair as if it was her own hair. 7.) The hair dresser also does males and females. Males will love the results after their hair cuts too. 8.) She cuts fast, I do not like being in a chair for such a long time but when the hair dresser gets her scissors she is focused and does the job right. 9.) When she blow drys your hair, she will style it to make you look fabulous when you leave the salon. CONS: 1.) NONE read more

I have been a hair salon nomad for years... I haven't found THE hair salon until now. I went to Arte Salon for the first time in June '15 after one of my friends had gotten the digital rolling perm done here. I was so impressed with the results that I had to try it myself. The salon is owned and run by a very warm and caring mother & daughter. The daughter is the main hair stylist, and I was very impressed with her overall service, skills, and knowledge. As she was doing my hair, she was sharing great hair care and styling tips. She was so energetic that it made the time fly (digital perms take about 3.5+ hours depending on your hair type). It wasn't until the end of my appointment that she shared with me that she started out as a hair colorist. Out of curiosity, I pulled up a picture of a grey balayage ombre that I was thinking of trying out. She took one look, and confidently told me that she can do it... but she also told me to really think hard about it because I would be doing a lot of damage to my hair (my hair is BLACK). After a couples month, I went back in October to get my first hair coloring session done. Before she started, she explained to me her plan and even considered my budget, which was extremely thoughtful... She assured me that she would take my black hair and get me the grey balayage ombre I wanted in only 2 sessions! I just completed my 2nd & final session today, and I was SO happy that I was smiling and bouncing in the salon chair! I have found a home at Arte Salon, and I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Just got my hair cut here today and I couldn't be more pleased. I've been putting off getting my hair cut since I just moved to the area and didn't know where to go. Thank you yelp for leading me here! I even made my appointment through yelp message (super last minute, but she was extremely accommodating!). As soon as I walked in, I felt very relaxed, I usually feel super stressed out when I go to get my hair cut. She was very attentive and did exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn't even exactly sure what I wanted. She gave me her own opinions on what she thought would look best, thankfully, because I don't know anything. Other salons always seem like they just wanted to get through the process of cutting my hair, she was fully committed to the task until it was perfect! A+ experience and I will definitely be back, I'll probably get the digital rolling perm once my hair is grown back out! I'm so glad I've found a place I actually want to return to. read more

I should not be adding a rating because I didn't go to the place yet. I tried to call them a couple of times to make an appointment and nobody picks up the phone. I called them during their business hours. read more

I went to ARTE with a vision of getting a digital perm on my medium length hair. As I was getting my hair done, the two hair dressers noticed that my hair was super damaged (meaning way BEYOND repair) and that my hair was literally melting from the perm solution. Acting quick, the daughter of the duo saturated my hair in some solution and eventually fixed my ends. This mistake is on my part since I forgot to mention that I have bleached my hair in the past. Just a reminder: please mention previous hair treatments as it really does make the hair dresser's job 100x worse. Instead of chopping all of my hair, the daughter really transformed it. My hair used to be dull, flat, and boring, but I left with voluminous and bouncy locks. I don't know how she did it, but she really turned a bad situation into a great outcome. It's been about a few days and it gets better after each wash. I highly recommend coming to this salon- you can tell that they're not doing it for the money! read more

Super attentive and friendly service. I got a hair cut and the rolling digital perm last weekend - it took about 4 hours but totally worth the time. I don't really go to a hair salon often bc I never found a place that I loved 100% so I'd always go to a new place every time. The ladies at Arte made me feel like I was truly being pampered instead of being put through a 4 hour punishment. They even gave me tips on how to best care for my hair and even showed me multiple (easy) ways that I can style my new do. I love my new hairstyle and I can't wait to go back again to get my hair dyed! read more

The lady is very professional and skilled at what she does! My hair is very thick and she was able to thin it for me and do layers without looking choppy. I am very satisfied! I got highlights as well and the color is beautiful! read more

Where to begin? This place is tucked away behind a small driveway but you need to stop by! The place is owned by a daughter and mom. Names are escaping me at the moment but anyways... they are very knowledgeable! I can never make up my mind about what type of haircut to get but I decided to completely trust them. The first time I went, I wanted to donate my hair and had no idea what type of short hair would be flattering for me. But they did such a good job I now always go back there. They give you a little locker with a key for your belongings and the place is always nice and clean. The owner is so fun to chat with you will have a great time guaranteed. The last time I went there I wanted to get a perm and she was able to counsel me on what type of perm would be good for me. So I got the cold perm and I love it! Going back next month for another round! She even recognized me on the phone when I called to make an appointment haha I have only been there 2 or 3 times. My cold perm lasted a little over 3 months just as she told me it would. read more

I have been here twice now for a cut and color and they are great! It is a daughter and mom duo who take the time with each customer and put a lot of care and love into what they do.

The price is right but most importantly I really love how they care about you. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. Went in for a cut and color and loved it. Everyone is super nice and I never felt rushed. Prices are fair and reflective of the quality you receive.
