Just moved to NoLibs. We have only been here 2 weeks. I was looking for somewhere local I could walk to. This is it! Loved the friendly vibes. I walked in to get a cut or make an appointment. Gato fit me in that afternoon with Emily and even texted me when something came up a little earlier. Emily cut my hair and Marco even checked it. Absolutely loved the homey vibe here. Emily is a doll and I already have my next appointment. Cute short cut for this 69 yo lady. Reasonable prices too. My new "go to" place. read more

Did a wonderful job with balancing out my color. They even came in early to give me special attention. read more

Me On 2nd Salon - Highlights in my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Fabulous place. Always friendly, responsive and quick to accommodate your schedule. Gives excellent cuts at reasonable prices.

The entire staff is so welcoming. I was quite hesitant on what direction to go with but Marcos and Emily were very knowledgeable and helped me with picking the right color. I wanted something subtle that would still match my natural hair color. Nothing with too much maintenance. They understood the assignment! Also, loved how Marcos checked in with his staff and follows their work. I'll be back again! Thank you Emily you're awesome. read more

Me On 2nd Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I visited this salon based on a recommendation from a friend and I was happy with the styling done by Marcos . Very attentive staff right from the entry to exit. The lady who did my hair wash had such good pressure , it felt like a good head massage and relaxing. I did not want to alter the hair length but wanted some good layers and Marcos did an excellent job with the cut. Gato who is the owner is amazing to talk as well. I did once not have the haircut done as per my expectation and he immediately jumped in to address it and help fix it. It does show that they care for the clients and end of the day want them to be happy with the service. Overall good experience and do recommend Marcos for haircut! read more

I just want to start by saying that Marco, is an artist. When I had the consultation with him, I knew immediately, I could trust him with my hair. I knew I was dealing with someone very, knowledgeable and professional. I sat in his chair and said to him, what do you have planned for me? I knew, I had to get my hair done and I knew, he would give me exactly what would work for me. Thank you! read more

Good vibes, lot of feng shui ;) The receptionist (someone remind me his name) was friendly and attentive, I waited not even 5 minutes before being taken back. There were no hidden costs which was nice and they gladly took the 20% off Yelp coupon. Anthony genuinely listened to my goals and gave me realistic expectations and also gave me my beautiful cool white blonde dreams back. So happy Thank you!! read more

I have been going to this salon for almost two years now. I have very thick hair which some stylists have difficulty with. Marcos always does a great job with my cut and blow out. It is easy to schedule appointments via text. You can always expect a response in under 24 hours. read more

Great experience during my first visit. Made an appointment same day and was able to easily find the spot. I had arrived a little early and they were nice enough to offer coffee while waiting on the comfortable seating. Definitely getting the upscale vibes with the hometown feel for this salon. For my cut the stylist was great in listening to my wants as well as giving good advice on what would be best for. You can tell she was a perfectionist and took great care and detail into her work. Check was super simple and I'm really glad I was able to try this place out - looking forward to more stops! read more

A+++ BEST salon by far in the city. From the moment Gato answers the phone to make an appointment to the moment you walk out looking and feeling glamorous. Every time we come here it feels like visiting family. All the stylist are very welcoming. We are a curl hair family and Marcos knows his products and understands the difference of hair even within the same DNA. Lol Come visit and say high to Hercules their adorable dog. read more

Me On 2nd Salon - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I visited this beautiful salon for the first time today and I can't wait for my next appointment. The decor is simply elegant with touches of brick walls, sleek work stations and modern chandelier lighting. I booked my appointment through text message which I loved. You can also call or book an appointment online. I was nicely greeted by Gato upon my arrival after our hellos he gave me hand sanitizer and a temperature check. He introduced me to my stylist. I met my stylist Jessi and we clicked right away. I came in for a cut and a single process color. Jessi and I discussed my hair rountine, the state of my hair and arrived at the perfect shade of red that I wanted. She started out with a wash explaining what products she was using and why they were used. I loved that their wash stations have comfortable recliner seats and your legs go up, it a nice touch especially for short people like me. Next she cut and shaped my hair. We had a nice flow of conversation. When she went to mix my color Gato and Marcos, the owners, checked in on me and offered me something to drink. Right before Jessi did my color she offered me a disposable mask so I wouldn't stain the mask I arrived in. I thought that was thoughtful as I was okay getting dye on the mask I can in with. Touches like this make place stand out and I enjoy going to businesses that care about their clients. While I waited for my color to take I was offered seating in their garden area which is beautiful and very visually artistic and again offered something to drink. When it was time to rinse my hair the perfect shade of red emerged and Jessi proceeded to blow dry and style my hair into perfection again explaining what technique and products she was using. I was completely happy with the results and the whole experience. I did purchase some products which I'm looking forward to using. Jessi explained to me how to use them and that some are even refillable, which makes it even better. I didn't feel pressured to buy anything and all my questions were answered. Checking out was easy and Gato made sure to again go over how to use the products I purchased. I highly recommend this salon, it's immaculately clean, the staff is friendly and talented and the vibe is welcoming. read more

I am so pleased with this salon and I will definitely be coming back. I absolutely love that I can make an appointment via text message from the number on their site, and they promptly get back to you as well. Gato at the front desk was so kind an welcoming and continuously addressed me by name. I came in for for a full high light because I really wanted to achieve a super blonde look but Marcos suggested the "Baly weave" and I'm so happy he did. Quinn assisted in my appointment she was so great as well, so friendly and made sure my wine glass was always full lol it was an overall wonderful experience and I feel soooo icy blonde and they made me feel so beautiful. read more

I'm new to the area and was in desperate need of a haircut. I found Me on 2nd on Yelp and I am so happy I chose to go here. Erica was my stylist and she was so friendly, easy to chat with, and I am thrilled with how my hair came out! My hair feels and looks so much healthier now. Their prices are very reasonable and everyone was so nice. I have found my new salon and I'm looking forward to booking with Erica in the future! PS - they are being great with Covid precautions. Your temperature is taken at the door, they give you hand sanitizer, and everyone was wearing a mask. I felt very safe in their space! read more

I can already tell I'm going to be a return customer here. When I called to see if they had any open times, the man who answered was really really nice as I was being wishy-washy about cutting my hair at all! I got an appointment and he said he'd call me if anything sooner came up. When I got to the salon, I was greeted with kindness, not the kind of "ok wait here" you get at other places. I was offered wine or sangria while I waited, and played with one of the really sweet dogs they had in there. Jess did my shampoo and it was heaven. Then Erica cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. Not only were both of them so incredibly kind, but so were the people who were there and weren't even working on me. I felt like a welcomed friend. Of course the most important part - my hair cut was perfect, exactly how I asked for it! It was also the most affordable place in the area. Considering the low cost, high quality, and great service, I will definitely be back! read more

An amazing, uplifting experience! I've had my share of salons but this salon tops it off as one of the best!! I am from Delaware and my boyfriend told me about this salon that him and his family have been going for 15 years. I was greeted by Gato, he checked my temperature, and sanitized my hands. He offered me a drink. He talked to me about what I was getting done and moved me over to get shampooed and that's when I met my amazing stylist Marcos. Not only did he do my cut and color, he educated me on how to keep my hair healthy. Marcos made sure I didn't leave the salon until I was happy. He is full of energy and lots of fun. The salon is very clean and beautiful. The salon has an outdoor patio which is adorable and very welcoming. The staff was very friendly and full of smiles. I will be going back! Thank you Marcos, Gato, and staff for a great experience and service. read more

I had an amazing experience here and plan on coming back. It's smoothly run, the people who work here are incredibly warm and welcoming, and the hair cut I got was exactly what I wanted. read more

The process of taking an appointment itself was very complicated and the individual who answered the phone almost sounded like they didn't want new customers. Disappointing given the reviews otherwise. Edit : I see the response from salon below, what they have said is not true. I didn't ask for a same day appointment and when I asked them to suggest a date they were really vague and mentioned they are very busy with customers. Not to mention the extra long hold. Lying to defend themselves on reviews is even worse form for a business. read more

After a recommendation from some friends, I decided to give Me on 2nd a try. My stylist Erica listened to my requests, shared her professional opinions on layering/keeping my hair fullness, and made a usually terrifying experience calm, relaxing, and pleasant! Thank you for easing my haircut fears and giving me a happy and safe experience! read more

Me On 2nd Salon - Haircut & blow dry by Erica - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Throughout my life there's only two people I've allowed to cut and style my hair. One is my mother, who owned and operated salons, and the other is Marcos from ME on 2nd. Marcos, Gato, and their entire team of professionals are top notch because they strive for nothing less than their clients' satisfaction and comfort in the warm and welcoming environment they've created. Thank you, read more

Loving my new haircut, Jesse made my curls spring back to life! I liked it even more after I washed my hair and just let it air dry (the true test of a cut for curly hair). And I never felt so welcomed from the very first moment I stepped into the place! Thank you everyone . read more

I never thought I could have nice short hair until I met Erica! She is an amazing stylist, whose haircuts not only look amazing initially, but continue to look good as it grows out. She is also really good at coloring, too! She gave me a balayage to die for. On top of all of that, she is a joy to sit and chat with during your cut! Which is super important to me :). Also, Gato is as sweet as can be. They are a super professional and prompt salon!! read more

I have been going to Me on 2nd for about three years. I showed up as a walk-in, with the intention of getting a bad hair cut (from a different salon) fixed. Erica listened to what I was going for and worked with me to get it right. It took a couple visits to fully fix the bad haircut, but we got there. I have been going to her ever since. [I get fade starting from a zero and faded into about four inches on top.] Recently, I was hesitant to get my haircut due to COVID, but Gato, one of the owners, explained to me all of the procedures they were following and what protocols they expected clients to follow. When I arrived, they had me use the hand sanitizer, took my temperature, and everyone was wearing a mask. I could see all the employees taking this extremely seriously and disinfecting everything, which made me feel more comfortable. read more

Marcos did an incredible job-- I love love love my haircut and can't wait to go back. Gato is an amazing host and welcomes you with a smile as soon as you step in the door. It doesnt hurt that the entire staff is friendly (and talented) too! Bonus is that they are big dog lovers and are known to carry a spare treat or two at their front desk, which they share with my dog when we pass the salon :) Highly recommend Me on 2nd! read more

This is by far the cleanest salon I have ever been to. I was greeted immediately and offered a beverage. My stylist was Anthony and he was delightful. I described the issues I was having with my hair and how I wanted volume, layers, and face framing pieces. He addressed all of my questions directly and offered suggestions for my future hair care. His cut was lovely and he styled it to my liking so I could leave the salon feeling great. I have been using their homemade shampoo and condition ($17/bottle- bring the bottle back for refill for $12) and it's wonderful! My hair feels light and smells delicious. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. read more

I texted this salon to setup a coloring appointment, there was a little miscommunication but Gato from the salon called and cleared things up. I was very pleased with his professionalism and look forward to coming into the salon. Also during the conversation it sounded like they really care for the health of the clients hair, i'm so excited ! read more

I moved to Philly two and a half years ago, and have been trying to find a salon that I click with. After going to 6 different salons, I was starting to lose hope. And then I found Me on 2nd! From the moment I walked in, Gato made me feel right at home. Genuine and hospitable, he poured me a glass of wine and took the time to talk to me and get to know me. Marcos was my stylist, and he gave me hands down the best consultation I've ever had at a salon. He took the time to teach me about the science of my hair, and how I should be changing my routine and products. He listened to my vision, and while I originally thought I wanted to get color treatment to get the results I was looking for, Marcos actually advised me not to, and to instead get a conditioning treatment. That's right, he downselled me! He genuinely wants what he thinks is best for each client, it's not about making money to him. Results: Marcos brought life back to my hair! The conditioning treatment transformed my color into the rich, glossy finish that I was looking for. The cut gave body to my long hair. Marcos has to be one of the most talented stylists I've encountered. I couldn't be happier with my hair. Finally, I've found my Philly salon! read more

I recently switched to this salon and I am very grateful I did. Marcos is very smart and experienced and could tell immediately what had been done to my hair previously and what it needed. I trusted him and he was thorough and meticulously in color correcting my hair. He also was very comfortable with coloring and cutting very curly hair which can be hard to find. Overall I definitely will be coming back and recommending him to friends. read more

First and foremost, this salon is fab. Gato is genuine and knows how to run a salon. V is an amazing stylist!! I came to her for a new hair look before I went on vacation to Mexico. Everything I requested, she made it happen. My har is not only came out exactly as I wanted/expected, but it is also extremely healthy. I'm in heaven and can't wait to see her again for color and cut. read more

After reading a ton of reviews on Yelp, I made an appointment to come here to get my hair done for my cousins wedding. Jessi did my hair and she was absolutely wonderful! She was diligent and made sure that everything was done perfectly. My hair lasted the entire night and the curls were stunning! Jessi put in my extensions - they blended perfectly in my hair. Throughout the night, everyone was asking me where I had my hair done and commenting about how much they loved it. I would 100% recommend her! Thank you Jessi! read more

Been coming here to get my hair cut and styled for 2 years and I really love this place. Owned by the couple that works in the salon Marcos and Gato offer an urban chic setting to come and relax and get pampered. You walk in and are welcomed by Gato who offers a chilled glass of wine or cold bottle of water on a hot day, or warm tea on a cold day. The place is pet friendly and you'll find their beautiful pup, Hercules, just chilling in the salon. Erica usually cuts my hair and she is very detail oriented and has always done a nice job. She's a real miracle worker, I come in a hot mess and by the time she is done she my hair looks great -- clean and styled! She's great about asking questions and checking her work as she goes to make sure you are feeling good by the time she's done. One thing I really like about this salon is that they are very good at working with your hair and making sure their work fits your style. They aren't trying to sell you on a particular look or products or push you to be avant-garde. If you want a classic clean masculine look, they can do that. If you want more flair or a crazy color, no problem! read more

I been coming to Jess for a minute now and she recently dyed my hair burgundy and did a cut and blow out. I have long, thick hair and it's a lot to deal with and tends to get damaged (i also get nervous about new ppl touching my hair). Jess gets me together every single time and I wouldn't think to go to another salon at this point. Oh and my blowouts last about a week. Highly recommend, philly baddies!! read more

Ericka is an absolute Rock Star and my new favorite person! She's a exceptional colorist and a great conversationalist. I moved to Philly in January from NYC but Me on 2nd made me feel like I've been going there for years. They are knowledge, helpful, and genuinely care that you love your hair. This place is easily my favorite hair salon and I look forward to going back soon! read more

I have been searching for a go-to salon for about a year now, and I must say it was worth the wait. From the second I called in for an appointment to the second I walked out the staff at Me on 2nd was nothing short of amazing. They were all so friendly and paid attention to exactly what I wanted. Jess, my stylist, was absolutely the best! She was very detail oriented and made sure I had the perfect cut. Needless to say, I was very satisfied, and will definitely be returning! read more

My friend and I flew in from Boston to visit some friends in Philly. We wanted to find a place to get a blowout before we went to an anniversary party. All of the stylists at Me On 2nd were incredible, fun and extremely talented. I don't often like getting my hair done because it's so thick and it takes forever but this experience changed that! Erica poured me a glass of wine and made it a memorable and entertaining experience that ended up flying by! I would highly recommend! I wish they had a salon in Boston, I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair! Not to mention the next morning my long/thick hair still held the beautiful curls that were done by Erica the day before! read more

I look at my hair and smile cause this cut is life. Thank you Marcos. I have been waiting for someone to cut my hair where I am smiling in the morning while touching my hair with pure joy singing, " I'm feeling myself, feeling myself", happy as F. There is no words to say thanks for such an amazing cut and bleach. I wish if I can come there again for another bleach and cut, but it's a little expensive. But I will be back for a cut. I mean I was so excited about how freaking amazing my cut was, that I didn't care about the system tips, But I notice later and was like whatttttt. But in it all, this Marcos cut is amazing. Besides this amazing cut. Yes I cannot stop talking about it. So, besides this cut, the place is clean, inviting, and make you know you are in good hands. The laughs and conversation was refreshing. And yes the bleaching is on point as well. With a glass of wine and good vibes makes a perfect day. read more

Jessi is so talented and gives me the most beautiful haircuts. She's patient and meticulous and knows exactly what I want without even needing to see a picture. She's exceeded my expectations from a hairstylist and I won't go to anyone else since I've found her. Gato at the front desk is very sweet and accommodating as well. Thank you, Me on 2nd :) read more
