Phenix Salons 1929

I had an unfortunate experience with this salon as a first-time customer. I was late to my…read moreappointment due to two unexpected traffic accidents, which caused me to arrive past the grace period. When the salon reached out to check on my status, I explained that I had just parked and was walking over. I completely understood when they had to cancel my appointment due to my tardiness and apologized several times. However, when I went online to rebook, I discovered that I had been blacklisted. While I fully understand that late arrivals, cancellations, and no-shows are difficult for any business, being blacklisted on a first offense seems bizarre and unfair. I would have completely understood if this were a second offense or a recurring issue, but things happen, and this was an unavoidable situation. I guess my name didn't fit with their salon aesthetic enough to give me a one-time warning as a first-time client. Unfortunately, I understand that it is still within their rights to refuse service. Just a heads up for other potential clients--be prepared to predict unforeseen delays and call well in advance--24 hours to be exact! Prefer to take my money elsewhere.

Megan did a lovely job reviving my limp, shapeless hair into a cut with movement and texture. The…read moresalon is a cute space tucked in the back of a comic shop, and street parking wasn't an issue. I scheduled my appointment online and received text confirmation several days prior, as well as the day of. I'm very happy with my new hairstyle and plan to come back to Megan regularly!

Salon L

I read the most recent comments and had to chime in…read more I've been coming to Salon L Manayunk for many years, even before they moved to their current location and I continue to be pleased with the level of professionalism and skill set of the stylists. The salon is respectful of your time and does not double and or triple book their stylists so you are able to get in and out within a reasonable amount of time, receive quality service and not feel ignored or rushed. There have been times when stylists have moved on and the front desk staff made every effort to ensure I was paired with a stylist who specialized in working with curly hair. The owners have worked hard to provide an upscale and relaxed experience that is consistent. The salon is clean, calming and soothing without the threat of children / pets destroying the environment. Please be aware before booking your appointment - Salon L is not a daycare center so if you're asked to remove a disruptive situation, please understand the request - as I personally don't want to be forced to endure the pain. I also am a person color and have never faced discrimination or racism while visiting this establishment. That's my two cents...

Salon is clean and welcoming. I just moved to the area and needed a balayage. My stylist was Nancy…read moreand she was great 5stars for her. Though, unable 5 stars to the salon because what I got was not a balayage considering additional charges. What I gotten, I considered to be more of a highlights They charge extra for glaze, and blowout which is normally standard at other salons with a balayage or color service. Receptionist told me if I didn't add on the blowout option, I'd have to leave with my hair wet.

It looks like I ended up with two distinct lengths rather than a smooth transition. As you can see in the pictures, there's a 3.5-inch gap between the top layer and the ends.

Before seeing McKenzie, my hair was dull brown with brassy highlights. Thanks to her expertise it's been completely transformed.My hair looks and feels gorgeous! I have a vibrant color, that feels healthier, and I'm more confident overall. The salon atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, making each appointment enjoyable. I strongly recommend McKenzie to anyone looking to change or maintain their hair. She's dedicated to her clients' satisfaction and it shows in her work. If you want a stylist who cares and delivers great results, go to McKenzie.

For my first experience at the Artist Haus, I was not impressed. I had mentioned on the phone that…read moremy hair often takes ample amounts of time, since it's thick and long, however I don't think they took me seriously. I was a new client, they did not know my hair, and had scheduled maybe at least 8+ clients while I was getting my hair cut and colored. I was nervous when the assistant kept checking my foils and didn't know where to start with the removal of the foils - not a good sign. I didn't get my hair blown out, because I was afraid of the cost, as I'm pretty sure it's NOT included in the price of a haircut. So, when I get home, I realized my hair was butchered. The highlights were bright yellow and orange, and crooked all over my head. There were some spots with huge chunks and then other areas were the high light looked like it had slipped mid-process. I quickly contacted the scheduler, since for some reason that's the only way to reach Mackezie, and was told I probably just "need a toner and that's the main issue, as for the placement of the highlights, she feels there's no issue." The highlights were absolutely the main issue. The timing of my foils was obviously not calculated correctly, it looked like foils were quite literally slipping from my hair and taken off way too early. It looked like I had gotten it done months ago and it grew out. I don't know if it was a error because they overbooked and couldn't focus on the timing correctly, but it's a shame because it cost me over $600++, not including what I had to pay to go to another salon to have it corrected.

Another phenomenal haircut.

Ruined my hair for my engagement pics and then…read morewhen I tried to schedule a curly stylist for my wedding (a simple curly updo), they changed my stylist to Stephen last minute because he "is better with updos" and he did an atrocious job once again! Globs of dried hairspray, not the style I asked for, frizzy/did nothing with my curls and randomly barrel-curled two pieces in the back. Terrible. Thank goodness my cousin that does hair (not familiar working with curly hair but still did an incredible job) stepped in and redid my hair before the ceremony. Will not be going back. It's a shame because all the stylists there are so lovely and kind. Gave them three chances, but not for me. Super disappointed.

(I have curly hair!) A woman with the most beautiful curls was chatting outside with a colleague. I stopped. We talked. And that's how I met Stacie, who's now my stylist! Stacie gave me an excellent haircut, and came up with a great solution for a color dilemma I've been having. She's friendly, engaging and talented, a winning combination of traits. I struck up conversation with one of Stacie's clients who mentioned she followed her to various salons over a twenty-year period. If that's not testimony, I don't know what is! The people who work there seem awfully nice. (I'm surprised some people said otherwise.) Clients range in age, and frankly everyone I've seen leaving the salon looks great.

I had Celia, but I would bet that they are all very capable there. 4) I have a spinal injury and they made me as comfortable as possible at all times without being overly solicitous.

We've had a couple less than stellar cuts, but kids move and things happen. We've also had some good cuts - so I understood why they come so highly recommended.

I asked for it to "just be cleaned up" and it's summer-cut short... it's a horrible bowl cut in the front instead of his cute part.

He is…read morevery kind, easy to talk to and talented, he made my haircut look polished, evenly streamlined and angled and it really flatters my face and looks very pretty. He took his time cutting my hair dry, then shampooing and conditioning it, blowing it out and finishing the cut when dry and blown out. Jeff put some products in my hair that made it feel and smell great too. I definitely will come back to him for cuts and for either highlights or single process color. I think Jeff is a great stylist and I trust him. He does a great job, I feel so pretty with my new cut! Prices are within the norm for high end salons in the area and it's well worth it!

By luck, I was assigned to Christi who did a great job trimming away any remnants of the bad cut. She actually taught me more about hair extensions than the stylist who initially put them in. The reason I am giving four instead of five stars is because the neck cushion at the hair washing station was hard and made my neck ache. When it comes down to it though Christi did a great job and I will definitely be back.
