I cannot say enough about this salon and it's owner, Ellie. I've been going to her for several years, starting when I needed a new excellent colorist. I have branched out into fashion colors and she is phenomenal! I take a picture in of the color combos I love and she hits the nail on the head every time. If I want an adjustment, she can make it happen. She makes sure we are on the exact same page before she starts anything, so there's never a surprise reveal! She is meticulous with the application of the color, so the different colors are always well defined where they are supposed to be and blend well where they should. Every person who walks out of this salon, regardless of the stylist, looks wonderful. The whole atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable and welcoming. I would (and have!) recommend Bombshell to anyone who wants great cut, color and styling for fair prices! read more

I'm not a complainer but two times I've been here 1- first location I wanted blonde hair and I looked like a yellow chicken the 2nd time- another location- the girl didn't even wash my hair... cut my hair like she was cutting straight hair... I had to go somewhere else to get it fixed... read more

I have been going here since they opened, and I have been going to Ellie (the owner) before she opened up her own salon! I absolutely love coming here. I usually see Carlie now and she is great! My only con is that they are usually only open 4 days out of the week. read more

Disappointed with staff on phone. Called and asked if i can get a touch up, i was put on hold then a "melanie" came on the phone and stated " before i agree to do your touch up" i have questions and you have to be here by 3:30 we close at 5. I said really because your website says 6 and the lady before you said 6pm. She said yea 6 but i cant do your hair in a hour and a half. I thought that was extremely rude not even giving me a chance and profiling me on the phone, i have gotten makeup done here before with a bridal party and had no issues. The owner should teach her staff not to lie about working hours and not judge people over the phone. You all lost a potential client.boooo After all the social media exposure _ ellie the owner and I came to the conclusion that it was a lesson well learned, her salon does consults over the phone and in person, i am not accustomed to this, she also apologized for her stylist behavior, i still recommend them for makeup services and i wish them success on all their future endovours._ellie i respect how hard you go for your salon read more

I got my hair done by Gianna. At first I was impressed by how nice it looked. However, when I got home I realized I had chunks of hair burned off. I'm not sure if it was the bleach she left on too long, while she did someone else's hair or the styling tools. No one came to check on me while I had the bleach on, she stood at the front of the salon the whole time. If she was busy someone else could have washed out that portion of my hair so it wouldn't break like it did. All I know is it will take a very long time for me to grow this hair back. Worst of all it's at the top of my head so I can't seem to tame it, even when I do a ponytail. Lately, I've been trying to hide with other hair. She was nice, but this was unacceptable. I won't be coming back. read more

Ellie takes time to do a service properly. To weave the hair with the comb for bleach she take the most precise section and it's aproxamitley and right of an inch , tight to scalp. This takes time that alot of hairdressers don't take.1 step I'm so many services is sooo important. Just one example of care taken. You will also be very comfortable I'm this shop. I am older then most of clients I've seen over the years. I am extremely comfortable , never feel out of place. Very hospitable. Stephanie 51 read more

I got my hair done by Jenna and I'm in love. She made me feel so beautiful and confident. I left wanting to be her best friend. She honestly did such a fantastic job and fixed the mistakes of a previous stylist. She was kind patient and loving towards my hair you can tell she really cared. The price was amazing and fair too. Really happy I found this place and I found Jenna to help me through this journey of going lighter. Her instagram is hairbyjae.p the page speaks for itself and the wonders she can do. Thank you bombshell and Jenna for turning a terrible experience into everything I wanted. The blending was so beautiful. read more

I get my hair done by brittney and I love it! I know I can trust her to do what she thinks works best! I trust that she will always make me look my best and I love my hair every time I'm done. As a person who knows nothing about how to do my hair, it is easy to keep up because brittney gives me tips on how to keep my hair looking fresh. I trust the salon and have hired them for my wedding for both hair and makeup! read more

My sister recently started coming here and loved the work they did so as a bday gift her and my mom scheduled and paid for an appointment for me to get my hair done. My stylist was Brittany. When we got there she took me right away. I was a few minutes late due to traffic but she didn't seem annoyed or rushed at all. She was really nice, laid back and took the time to listen to what I wanted and the results I was looking for. I wanted to go blonder so I decided on a full head of highlights and told her to chop a few inches off as my long hair was becoming more of a pain than anything else. She got right to work...she didn't try and talk me out of or into any particular cut or shade of blonde other than what I told her I wanted; I appreciated this because I've had stylists (at other salons) do this to me in the past and it results in me paying for a style that I'm less than thrilled with and walking away feeling unsatisfied. Another thing I REALLY liked was that during my appointment she was only working on me and not juggling multiple clients at once. That may sound weird but go-to stylists in the past I've gone to do this all too often. I understand the reasoning behind trying to squeeze in as many clients as possible but as a client it's really frustrating when you're paying top dollar for a professional's time and service that you end up sharing with other people because something that should've taken 2-2.5 hours is now taking upwards of 4. Brittany did a wonderful job and my hair transformation was amazing. It looked and felt so much healthier and prettier! Also the vibe at the salon was relaxed and friendly. Overall my experience was great so I'll definitely be returning to Bombshell and Brittany again. read more

Bombshell Hair Studio - Prom make up! - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

After a year and a half without a proper haircut I had to do it, so I asked my friend where should I go and she said Bombshell. Well, it's across town for me, but I said ok I need a good place. They blew me away! Ashley was really professional and asked how I wanted my haircut and styled. It came out amazing! I wish I had knew about them sooner. The best thing was the price! You get your hair washed, cut and styled for 35 dollars! Great place! Will recommend to all my Au Pair friends read more

I just got my second haircut from Gianna. I have extremely thin hair due to medical issues so I'm extremely picky about who cuts it. You have to understand thin hair. Gianna is always so sweet and cute. She gets that my hair sucks but it doesn't stop her from giving me great cuts that look amazing. Even better that the prices are amazing and I can walk there!! I hate the deposit policy but I understand why they have it so it's not that big of a deal. The best part is my hair grows out great too. I can go a bit longer between each cut because it just looks great all the time! I recommend bombshell 100% read more

This is a really cool salon! Industrial style design and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Gianna did my hair and she was really sweet and talented. She did a great job and I love my color! Thanks Gianna read more

I've had great experiences with both Ellie and Jenna. Both women took time to find out what I wanted and made sure I left happy. Some people get nervous about a young staff, but I've only seen excellent work from the stylists here. It is clear that they love what they do and they value their customers. AND they take the time and care so do excellent work. Highly recommend!! read more

A horrible experience. The salon was to open at 10am, my appointment was at 11. While waiting for them to open, an employee sat in their car across the street and another leaned up against my car. Finally someone arrived and without acknowledging me, began opening the gate....at 11:03. The stylist I was scheduled with was not there and had to be called to come in but I was assured she lived near by. The people that worked there were not rude, but certainly were not friendly or apologetic for being late. The salon was dirty. The shampoo bowl had to be cleaned before I could get washed. There was a dirty coffee cup in one bowl while there was brown water in another (not sure if it was coffee or color). Several boxes cluttered the back of the salon. The shampoo girl was busy sweeping up hair and dust, which is generally done before closing...not when the salon opens. Two stylists bickered with one another. Basically, if you don't care about cleanliness, punctuality, customer service, or ambiance...this is the place for you. read more

I've been going to Gianna for about a year and a half now & I can't imagine going to anyone else! She does an amazing job all of the time. From teaching herself how to do a rose gold for me, to turning me into an ash blonde this past holiday, I always leave happy & feeling fabulous. She introduced me to shimmer lights (I've always used regular shampoo because I didn't know about purple shampoo) & she also recommended this natural oil to help me with my crazy frizz. All of the girls at Bombshell are extremely friendly & you can tell that they really enjoy doing hair! Making appointments are a breeze as well since they have a Bombshell App. read more

I was recommend this place and called to schedule an appointment. I specifically asked the girl if they could match my color, I have a deep purple color, she said yes. I asked the price for the root touch up and she said 70. I paid a 25 deposit over the phone. Went to my appt and they couldn't match my color. It was a bit lighter and brighter on the roots. I go pay and she said I owe 115. That didn't match and she told me I was considered a "fashion touch up." I'm guessing because of the color. Whatever I pay and leave. Already knowing I wouldn't be back. They are very pricey, they charge 50 more than I normally pay. The dye they use is very cheap as well. After the first wash, my hands were purple (never happened before) and I have purple streaks on my back. I have never had dye that runs and sticks to skin like this. I wouldn't recommended this place for color. read more

I was very impress with my first visit at Bombshell. The salon itself was very cute. I was schedule for an appointment with Fidel. He was running behind and gave me a call to let me know, which I greatly appreciated. I came in for a touch up and cut. I basically told Fidel he can cut my hair above my shoulders and style whatever way he likes. I was very pleased with the style and cut. I have gotten so many compliments. I look forward to returning to the salon to have my hair colored. I would definitely recommend this salon. read more

I have been Ellie's aka Erin's client for over 10years and she's always done a great job! This is why I've followed her from her first salon to every salon she's worked in and now to her own salon! But yesterday Ellie was not available so this review is actually about Melanie. I really wanted haircut and decided to try someone else in the salon. Melanie was available, she washed my hair and sat me in her chair. I showed her pictures of what i did not want lol and she completely understood. Throughout the haircut she asked if the lengths were to my liking and if i wanted it styled a certain way. She was very attentive, polite, courteous and i felt as though she really cared that i was happy with my haircut. It was my first time getting a haircut with Melanie but it will not be the last. Thank you Mel! read more

I was recommended by a dear friend who gets her hair done here . Although she's had good experiences here I surely did not . I booked with the owner and then was switched over to another stylist which was ok . After driving 2 half hours from NY to philly to get my hair double processed , I walked in with my daughter and the front desk gal was unwelcoming and on her cell phone , I was told to wait and when the stylist walked over he made no eye contact and his vibe was very negative (rude) he then proceeded to sit me on his chair to comb through my hair saying he would not touch my hair because I had previously had highlights done and kept rambling on about how much work it would be for him , he also touched my hair as if he was disgusted (my hair was clean and straightened btw) .. he then offered to do a toner which was not at all what I drove such a long way for . He refused to service me and al though I respect his decision to not do my hair because of his so called professional opinion , his delivery was horrible . I truly believe he did not want to do my hair because of its thick texture and he seemed to be in a bad mood . I politely got up and said thank you anyway . He then posted on Instagram about 20 minutes later that a time slot had just opened up and would anyone like to have their hair slayed by him .. It was so offensive to me .. he refused to do my hair but was quick to post on social media how he'd had time to slay someone else's hair ... I give this salon 1 star . My sweet friend felt so bad , I'm glad she's always had pleasant experiences .. I would never step foot there again .. read more

ellie has been cutting and coloring my hair for the last 6 years. she is the only one i trust with my hair. she is extremely accommodating with my work schedule, and has repeatedly opened early to get me done on time for work. she helps me with new ideas or latest trends that will work with my hair. she's available any time to give me her opinion on any ideas i have for new colors or styles. she is honest about what will work and what won't. i am constantly stopped and complimented on my hair. every time i sit in her chair, i am confident my hair will turn with great. i leave satisfied every single time. i drive close to an hour to get to her and will continue to do so! read more

I started going to Bombshell shortly after they opened. My sister and mom had been going to see the owner at another shop while she was waiting for her shop to open. I've never been so happy with a stylist ever!! I love coming here! The place is amazing, all the staff that I've encountered have been great and Elle does an amazing job on my hair. She listens to what you like and don't like and even better she actually does what you ask for. I enjoy coming here every time! And I leave looking and feeling amazing! I DO recommend them to everyone I know who's looking for a great place to get their hair done! I've been looking for a good stylist for some time now and needless to say the 45 minute travel from my house to Bombshell is well worth it!!! read more

I went to this hair salon on Friday 9/9/16 and came out with my hair DAMAGED! When I came in my hair was a honey blonde and I wanted to have an ombre done...dark root and lighten the blonde that I already had. The stylist added a toner and hair dye to my ends that caused the bottom of my hair to turn grey!! I refused to keep my ends grey, so she added another chemical to take the grey out and that took it to a lighter blonde but the bottom of my hair felt like a Brillo pad!! HORRIBLE!!! I did not allow the stylist Gianna to continue putting heat on my hair...I put my hair in a bun and left! I still paid half for my hair and the owner who was 5ft away from me didn't stop me on my way out or acknowledge me! Instead she continued to do the person on her chairs hair...She did nothing to help! My hair is completely damaged and I cannot fix or touch it for two weeks! I will not be recommending this hair salon to any of my friends or family! Horrible experience! Never in my life did I ever have something like this occur! read more
