    I was today years old (55!) when I realized I've been treating my curls all wrong. Erin was an expert educator and stylist, explaining the science of curl care and walking me through an easy routine to move forward. The cut was perfection. The products were right there to purchase. My curls have never looked better. (Pic is day 2 after sleeping on it) I've found my forever hair home. Bonus that Second Daughter Bakery is a floor down. Grabbing a brownie on the way out 10/10

    Finished cut by Tarah!

    I finally found a local salon I love! After my hairdresser moved to Lancaster, I was driving there every 4 months to get my hair cut. This became unsustainable after a few years and I did a lot of research on salons specializing in curls. Fringe kept coming up and I am so happy I found them. Tarah did an amazing job with my inverted bob and also gave good hair care tips without any pressure to buy specific products. A huge bonus that made me smile over and over while I was there are their 2 salon cats, one of whom visited my lap as soon as I sat down to wait for my service. As a huge cat lover I really enjoyed seeing the kitties dash past me while getting my hair cut. The salon space at the Bok is huge and gorgeous, and there is always an art exhibit there, with the salon hosting art openings every few months, which I plan to go to at some point. Though it can be hard to switch from hair stylists you're loyal to, I can confidently say I found my new salon!

    I wanted to try a curly-girl dry haircut and made an appointment with Beth. I've now been back 3 times and am always satisfied. After the dry cut, Beth washed my hair, put in some product and had me sit under one of those whole head hairdryers. It takes a while to dry this way, but it allows her to double check the cut. My third time going I asked to skip that step since I was in a hurry (it's about an hour and a half all told when you include the wash) and Beth agreed and said if I noticed anything funny after washing my hair, I could come back within two weeks to get it fixed

    Blonde streaks instead of blended...!

    DO NOT GET COLOR FROM TARAH! I went into Fringe last week to get a balayage coloring done by Tarah. The goal was to have something natural and similar to the color (mushroom blonde) posted by another stylist at the salon. Instead of blonde, my hair came out with streaks of bleach blonde. When I mentioned to Tarah that this wasn't what we discussed and that it looked extremely streaky she responded that she didn't know what I was talking about and she thought it looked good - YIKES! (see photos) Immediately after the treatment and upon seeing my reaction, the receptionist offered another toner treatment free of charge. I scheduled the "color correction" for two days after the initial treatment and was assured by the owner of the salon (via the receptionist) that the toner treatment would get me to my desired look regardless of how streaky my hair looked. I was really hesitant to go back to Tarah and called into the salon to ask if I could see another stylist. I was told that Tarah could absolutely correct this and that she is "a professional and knows what she is doing." In good faith, I decided to try again - BIG MISTAKE! I went back in and somehow came out with darker and reddish hair. Based on the original color treatment and now the subsequent treatment, it seems like Tarah has no idea how to color hair and I wish that was disclosed to me when I made the original appointment instead of going through two treatments (and two evenings) of what felt like practice for one of the stylists. I know everyone has to start somewhere, but the salon should have been honest about the limitations of their staff and what color treatments they can do. After the first treatment and my emails (with pictures and a video) to the receptionist and owner, the salon should have stepped in to correct this mistake. No one should be practicing on paying customers! This is not the type of service I would expect from a salon like Fringe. I have come to Fringe for a balayage treatment in the past and absolutely loved the effect and immediately knew the stylist did an amazing job. This time, the color was poorly executed both initially (resulting in blonde streaks) and the correction (resulting in reddish hair). In the past week, I've reached out to Fringe via multiple emails and phone calls asking that I get a refund for the treatment and/or some help and advice on how to fix my hair. No response - I've been ghosted! The lack of customer responsiveness is pretty surprising, especially since I was very communicative right away about what went wrong and asking for help and advice to rectify. I paid full price ($184 + tip) for the treatment only to get more damage to my hair and a darker color. Would not go to Tarah for color and would recommend avoiding the salon in the future because of their lack of customer service.

    Bangs by Ariel

    Ahhh!! This is definitely my new & only spot for all things hair related from here on out. I'll admit it, I gave up on my hair about 6 years ago and just let it grow. It's not as cute as it sounds. Think dreads, think frizz, think split ends and at home dye jobs. I'm embarrassed I even let it go for this long, but as more time passed, the more afraid I was to walk into a salon and be judged for my total lack of respect for hair that was now growing past my hips. This is where Ariel comes in. She is fantastic. I felt instantly comfortable with her and she was hella cool about the fact that I couldn't even be bothered to brush my hair before my appointment. I showed her a few pictures of what I was hoping for, and she went above and beyond my expectations. The whole appointment was really easy and I walked out feeling like a whole new person. She didn't try to force me to go shorter than I wanted & really really made my hair look amazing, despite the fact that I'm not ready to have alllll the dead ends cut off yet. Baby steps. She also showed me how to style my new bangs and curled my hair for me. I felt like I was walking on clouds after I left! Getting a cut there is worth every penny! I highly recommend this spot. Everyone there is really nice, had me laughing the whole time and I even got to kick it with the shop kitty before I left. Thank you, Ariel!!!

    Amazing cut and color by Roberta!
    Alli Z.

    I have now been going to Fringe for over a year and could not be happier. I have seen three stylists there, but I am now getting my hair done by Roberta, and she does an AMAZING job! I cannot recommend Roberta enough - she listens to my vague ideas of what I want, takes my hair care regimen (none) into consideration, and gives me a fabulous cut every time. She has also done multi-step, multi-layered color for me and it looks AWESOME and holds up super-well. The salon is clean and pleasant, everyone who works there is really nice and knowledgeable, and it's a good experience from start to finish. Go get your hair done there! You won't regret it.

I have a pretty…read morebasic haircut request (1 on the sides, high fade, scissor trim) so I serve as the base line for service at hair studios because my request is quite possibly the simplest. First off, the place feels big. Has nice calming music playing in the background so it's a pleasant experience visiting and even sitting in the chair for some time. The wash was about the same length of time as a wash from other places here in Chinatown, but somehow it was significantly more enjoyable. The people here know what they're doing, and my scalp feels much better than it did before, and I didn't even know if was feeling anything before. Cut was ~30 minutes, and $28 + tip. Overall, it's on the pricier end of what I've experienced so far in Chinatown, although not by much. However, the quality of the cut was much better than others. In other places, it feels a bit more rushed or cursory, but I felt like I was getting focused attention on my cut. He spent a lot of it actually in touch up and layering, which was good attention to detail. Honestly one of the best cuts I've gotten in Chinatown. Definitely beats out in quality over other mainstays like Kevin's, but at a slightly higher price point.

Also gave me my first hair cut in several months, long layers, and trimmed away all the over processed ends. She's very careful about COVID-19 and even took a safety class. You call ahead and you are the only person in the salon besides her. Also, since it's a small salon, it's not expensive (although I gave a big tip because of COVID--and to support a female small business owner of color during pandemic!). If you are on the fence, I'd go (call first). Alyssa also does much fancier coloring jobs, and I might try one in the future. She seems like the right person to take a risk with. The salon has moved to a nice part of South Street (1112 South St.) where I managed to find parking without a problem.

Whenever I move to a new city and go to a new place, I can never quite articulate the hairstyle I usually get (usually I just say "2" on the sides and finger length on top). Inevitably I get a new variable cut that is either too short or long on top. At this place, all it took was one visit! On top of this, I am usually too cheap to get a shampoo, but since it is already included in the $15 price, it is an added bonus on top of a quality cut. Highly encourage anyone in Philly to give this place a try!

    The stylist was polite enough when I was welcomed in. I told her that I wanted my hair trimmed with…read moremy hair covering my ears, and the top blended in with the sides. She smiled and agreed, and started cutting. In no time at all, she had cut the hair on one side of my head above my ear, which was the opposite of what I asked for, as I have a deformed right ear from decades of combat sports competition, and I wanted it concealed. As she had already ruined my hair on one side, I bit my tongue as she made the other side match it. I was absolutely furious, but what can a stylist do once they've taken too much off? Absolutely nothing. Now I am stuck with a haircut where my deformed ear is visible for the whole world to see because the stylist decided to give me that haircut that she wanted to give me instead of the one that I asked for. I paid for my haircut with a card and departed in a polite manner, but the moment I hit the sidewalk, I could no nothing but scream profanity as the realization that I couldn't cover my deformed ear kicked in. Now I am not only out $18, but I am stuck with a haircut which leaves me open to yet more questions along the lines of "What's wrong with your ear?" [Edit, I called the place and she offered me a refund, but this doesn't undo the damage she did to my personal appearance. I'll take the refund, but this review stands.] I grew the sides of my hair longer specifically to hide that ear, and the stylist decided that she knew better than me where my haircut was concerned, and forced her personal preferences onto my head. That stylist is very fortunate that I have superior control over my temper, because she has left me feeling disfigured with the haircut she gave me, and now that I'm home and trying to style this mess, I see that she couldn't even manage to trim my bangs straight, and the hair on one side is not symmetrical with the hair on the other side. With the mess she left me with, with my deformed ear exposed, I might just shave my head instead of putting up with this terrible thing she did to my head. I am so humiliated that I don't even want to be seen in public looking like this. I went in feeling good about myself and looking forward to the haircut I asked for, and I left with my self-esteem in the gutter. I get upset every time I catch my refection and see what she did to my appearance. I can't go out looking like this. In short, she was absolutely incompetent & unprofessional in providing a haircut according to the very simple instructions I gave her. She shouldn't be permitted to cut hair, and if she has a state license for cutting hair, it should be revoked. The only reason she's getting one star is because I can't give her zero stars. Attached to this review, you'll see two photos detailing how she couldn't even manage to cut my hair evenly. I could have gotten a better cut from a landscaper with a weed-whacker. There is absolutely no excuse for this, and no apology or refund can do undo the damage. I'll have to wear a hat until my hair covers my deformed ear again. Thanks to a stylist who doesn't listen, I get to wear a hat to cover my deformed ear now. As a craftsman and a business owner, I can tell you that this is not how a professional renders a service to a client. **Update** I spoke with the stylist on the phone a short time ago about the refund she told me she would give me, and instead of telling me when I could come down & get it, she began making all manner of excuses as to why she shouldn't refund my money. This is the kind of experience you can expect to have with this hair stylist: first she will ruin your hair, then she will justify her poor work and back-peddle out of any refund she's already offered you. I should have looked at the other 1-Star reviews of this place, because it seems that those people all had a very similar experience to mine. As a small business owner myself, I'm very enthusiastic about supporting small businesses, but not if they're run by incompetent, unprofessional people who refuse to accept accountability for the damage they do, or offer fair compensation in return for those damages.

The interior is bright and newly remodeled, giving it a modern and clean look. They offer many services such as haircut, perm, dye, and even hair treatments. There is even a dedicated person that washes your hair for you before and after your haircut. She is super gentle and thorough. She even massages your head while she washes it! I came in on a Monday around lunch time and they weren't busy at all. Since it was our first time there, we didn't have a stylist in mind. They sat us down quickly and David was the one that helped my husband with his haircut. He is very knowledgeable about Asian hair types as he trained in Tokyo for 6 years. If you show him a photo, he will be sure to match the style you requested through the photo. He will constantly show you what the back looks like through a mirror to ensure that you're satisfied with the results. David is really a perfectionist and he even told me that he's always open to criticism, so if you're unhappy with something, just communicate with him and he will be sure to make it right. There might be a language barrier if you don't speak Chinese but I think a translation app would work just fine. My husband got a Korean style two block haircut and I have to admit it's one of the best haircuts that he has ever gotten! The longer layers in the back blended seamlessly with the shorter portion on the back of his head. My husband is traumatized from getting haircuts because oftentimes you pay a lot for a haircut that you don't even end up liking, but he's glad that he finally found a spot that he will be returning to. For wash and haircut, the price is $28, but they were running a promotion at the time so it ended up costing $23. Overall, I highly recommend this hair salon to those who are looking to get a quality haircut.
