I have been a client of Yvonne's for over 12 years and I have never been disappointed with the level of service I have received. Yvonne is a true professional who is a master of her trade. I have had long hair, short hair, natural hair as well as weaves from Yvonne and she always makes my hair look amazing. My hair has never been healthier. You never have to wait and you are in and out quick. The atmosphere is pleasant, there's great conversations and her clients are wonderful people. I have made several friends just from my standing bi-weekly appts. Yvonne did my hair for my wedding that was taking place at the Jersey shore. She and her assistant drove down just to do my hair and makeup. She's a class act! Having my hair freshly styled right before my wedding was the topping on the cake. I will forever be grateful for her and her exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Royalty to anyone who is looking for a professional, highly rated salon. read more

Yvonne is the best! After getting a bad cut from another salon a girlfriend recommended Yvonne and I'm so thankful she did. I never had extensions before and wasn't sure if I would like it. Needless to say, I love it! And my husband is obsessed with it! Thank you, Yvonne for putting the sexy back in my hairstyle. read more

I have been a client of Yvonne's for almost 16 years. When I moved to Chester County I heard of her at JC penny and then finally two years later I started seeing her at then Bold and Beautiful. The evolution of my hair from short cuts, weaves, color, to natural has matched my evolving style, growth and trends in the market. That's been the power of Yvonne - to evolve , get trained on new trends and partner with me on my current hair choice. She hits it out of the park 99% of the time and that one time I didn't like it she brought me back in and fixed it. During the pandemic she made me a wig and provided me hair care products to use at home. She also educated me in what needed to do. She's a chester county gem and I'm so grateful I don't have to go far to take care of my hair. read more

It has taken me many months to write this review after my experience with here that literally almost came to blows. My first experience with Yvonne was under Bold and Beautiful 13 years ago. She transferred my hair from an over-relaxed straggly mop of hair to a natural bouncy healthy head of hair. I was grateful. just a 2 years into being a client, my experience there was often uncomfortable, from the atmosphere, to the constant having to wait well beyond my scheduled appointment time, to the rush job I felt happened often when I got home & had to curl pieces of my hair she completely missed. I moved on and a few years later after experimenting with going from natural blonde to a brunette and back, I had bang damaged that was overly concerning but my hairdresser seemed less than concerned. At this point, I decided to give Yvonne, now under Royality Hair salon, another try. I had heard things had changed amongst other good things. A good cut, learning to restyle my hair &less than a year later WE had my bang grown back out & healthy. The pandemic struck. My hair grew, I loved it. I decided to continue to let it grow, for fun, even though I have always preferred a shorter bob style. It got to the point where I was having trouble maintaining the long hair, it wouldn't hold a curl well, my bang was breaking from over heating. After multiple suggestions from Yvonne on how to fix the damaged bang, yet keep the longer hair, multiple visits where I had asked for a cut and was talked out of it, I finally was ready to cut my hair, back to a chin length bob & start over. The days leading up to the visit where I was going to be insistent on a hair cut was filled with my friends advising me not to back down, insistent on that hair cut no matter what she says. I knew forcing the haircut was going to present an issue. The day of the appointment for a color cut and style the last words of my friend as I pulled in were - get your haircut, be firm! After no less than 10 minutes in her chair and color being applied, Yvonne honed in on my damaged bang & began to scold me in as polite a tone as possible for not listening to her advice, meanwhile cutting me off every time I tried to speak to insist I was listening to her advice, nothing was working & I just wanted a cut. Welp!!! There it went, the argument just as suspected was going to happen & her insistence I do not need a cut, I need to take better care of, not use so much heat, it doesn't matter that I don't think my hair looks nice, it looks fine, just leave it alone. She spoke over me at every turn, her voice at a screaming level. I actually had to curse at her to grab her attention. After a 5 minute scolding on why I don't need a cut, she agreed to cut it. She then proceeded to say things about me to other patrons in the salon, bringing up a mutual friend & her profession and how I would lislten to the doctor (you are NOT a doctor, you are a hairdresser, BIG DIFFERENCE!), she was totally classless, unprofessional &out of line. I was APPAULED! This was not just an employee, this was the OWNER of the salon. Her teenaged daughter was present! At this point I felt very uncomfortable and was going to leave after my color was rinsed. A few text exchanges with a friend later & I decided to stick it out, get a hair cut & style, leave her no tip, not schedule my next appointment. Message very clear. After being shampooed & blow dried by someone else, Yvonne came out of her office& proceeded to tell me "I think it's time you find another stylist, blah blah blah, with the nastiest of attitudes again cutting me off. All this while holding scissors in her hands asking me how much i wanted cut. WHAT!?!? At this point, this lunatic was not going to take scissors to my hair, she wasn't going to touch my head. I said I think I should l go & as I tried to exit the chair, she blocked me, not once, several times, when I finally was able to get up, she had me pushed up against the wall while screaming at me, with tears in her eyes. Again, in front of other clients and her employees. Another employee had to get her from in front of me, or other wise there would have been an even bigger scene. I left, and low and behold this low life had the audacity to charge my card. For the color job and blow out? That cost her what $10? After being screamed at twice, coming seconds from physically being assaulted in HER PLACE OF BUSINESS. BECAUSE I ASKED FOR A HAIRCUT? DISGUSTING!!! SHE IS A POS! This is one of many horror stories from former clients, I join a growing long list, some I have encountered by chance, some I have heard through the grapevine, some I have heard from those at my new salon that are also former clients. I think this is one business owner to learn this lesson: THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!! I wonder her reaction if one of her employees acted like this towards a client?! They would have been fired and if not for being the owner, she would have been too. read more

This salon and team is special! From the day I did my hair and makeup trial at the salon I knew I had found the best bridal glam team. On the day of my wedding, they were punctual and made the best use of the awkward hotel suite space to set up very functional and efficient hair and makeup seats for my bridesmaids and me. I've been in 3 weddings prior to my own and have never seen hair and makeup finished in time, this team was ahead of schedule and everyone looked flawless!! They are meticulous about hair and makeup touch ups after everyone ate and drank and really listened to my bridesmaids' wishes when it came to style and inspiration photos. Ahead of the wedding day, I spoke to Sherri to share details about everyone's hair textures, lengths and volume, which I appreciated them asking in advance and having that forethought. They were so patient with me the many times we rescheduled our wedding due to Covid too! I wish I lived closer so I can be a regular read more

Royalty Hair Salon - Waxing Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

Took my 7 year old daughter to see Adrienne to get cornrows and beads, according to what she had advertised for kids on Facebook . Adrienne was clearly annoyed by something, because her attitude was off. She asked what we wanted, but when we told her cornrows and beads she told us she didn't have time for that because she had a 2pm appt. At the time it was 12:39pm and her last appointment had just come up from to pay. (Our appointment time was 12:00pm.) She said she could do box braids because it was quicker than cornrows. (Cornrows on my daughter's hair usually takes about an hour, so this didn't sound right to me.) I was taken aback, but said ok. She took my daughter back and was done her hair around 2:30pm. She gave my daughter the largest box braids you could imagine. Totally not what I asked for or was looking for. She charged $100. Waste of my time and money. Would not recommend to anyone, especially not children. My daughter said she was unkind and that she didn't want to come back. I concur. read more

Such an amazing salon.! I was up in PA for a wedding and wanted to get my hair and make up done. The staff was so nice and welcoming. I am not big on doing my make up or hair on a normal day so I decided to have the professionals take over. They gave me their recommendations, educated me of the importance of hair care and did an amazing job on my makeup! You can tell that they take pride in their jobs and really love what they do! Would recommend them to anyone! Thank you ladies for making me look so good!!!! read more

Pure Excellence! Great customer service, quality work in record time! I love Royalty!

I got box braids put in at Royalty a few months back and had a fantastic experience. The stylists were all friendly and made me feel comfortable, the stylist who did my hair was professional and knowledgable, and the braids were of a good quality and lasted as long as they reasonably could before I had to take them out. I would definitely recommend Royalty, and I plan on going back! read more

She's very real with you and will always do what's in your best interest. I love this salon and wouldn't go anywhere else! read more
