I've been coming to the shampoo bar for years and I'm always very happy with my haircuts. However, I cannot stop raving about the wonderful job Andrea did on my hair for law school prom. She had me come in a few days before the event to figure out what color extensions to buy, and she picked a color that matched seamlessly. The day of the event, she only had to look at the picture I showed her a total of three times and she recreated the look better than I could have ever expected! I am still impressed by how quickly she clipped in the extensions and perfectly replicate what I envisioned in my head for that day. Not to mention, she's very friendly, accommodating and easy to talk to - which makes the time fly. It's been months since the event, and I'm still receiving compliments on how great my hair looked. This is THE place to go, especially for special events! read more

See all

You know that feeling when you leave a salon with a new look ..you stand a little taller, walk a little prouder, carry yourself a little happier. Well...you're going to get all that AND so much more when you leave Shampoo Bar. Friday was my very first time coming to this salon. I made an appointment with the salon owner Andrea, and said I wanted to go red. When I arrived I shared with her the exact color I was looking for and she very lovingly talked me out of it. She said why don't we start here and if you're not happy we can move a little further, but let's give this a try first. For the record, I wanted red that would have made me look like Ronald McDonald had she listened to me and done what I wanted. She colored my hair, highlighting, adding tone, dimension, depth, magic, mermaid tears and unicorn smiles. When she w as done I couldn't get over what my hair looked like. There truly is a difference between seeing a stylist and seeing an artist. Andrea Ippolito is an artist. I didn't walk out of her salon, I floated out on a cloud of sexy vibes. I went out with a friend that night and he said 'tell Andrea she hit a home run.' Fast forward a week later, the color is still fresh, sexy, glamorous and I am GRATEFUL I listened to her and that she advised me to let her do the right thing with my hair. I am so happy!!!!!! Yes the salon is in Philly, but honestly, she is so worth it. Have you ever felt stuck? Or wanted to reinvent yourself? She can do that for you. The compliments are still rolling in, who doesn't like to hear 'wow you look great, I love your hair!' Who doesn't enjoy hearing that every day??? Go see Andrea, she will change your life. read more

Shampoo Bar Salon & Studio - Master Colorist Andrea - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Yesterday was my 2nd time going to the Shampoo Bar, and I officially love it! Yes, it is the most expensive place in the neighborhood, but the stylists really go the extra mile to make sure you get your money's worth. I was really sick of stylists that do whatever they want to your head without listening to the customer. Shampoo Bar is not like that at all. I am very indecisive when it comes to my hair. The stylist worked with me to find a style & color I liked. She even took the time to show me how to style it myself. As I mentioned, they are pricey. But they run a lot of specials...I actually received $20 off my services that I wasn't expecting. Great salon! I will be returning. read more

Shampoo Bar Salon & Studio - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Went back for a haircut with Erin last week. She did a great job. No complaints! Be advised - their credit card machine doesn't allow for tips anymore. Bring cash for your stylist! read more

If I could give this salon more than five stars, I would certainly do so. I highly recommend Andrea. I have had fantastic haircuts, as well as highlights. I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is so kind but, much more than that, she is so talented at what she does. I have never been disappointed with the service that I received at this salon and, again, I highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting their hair beautifully done. read more

Shampoo Bar is a terrific salon! You do not have to go to Center City to get the latest styles without paying Center City prices! Andrea, Kelly, Missy, Theresa, and Megan take time to ask you about what you want out of your experience, not what they want! They treat all of their clients with great respect, whether it is a child or a grandmother. New clients and long-time clients get the same level of care and respect, and no one is rushed through a styling or color! I do not understand those who made complaints. Shampoo Bar is a quality salon with strong roots in the community! I recommend their services to anyone! read more

I finally decided to try a neighborhood salon --I've always gone to a Center City place, but have grown tired of a long commute back & forth, when I could just go to somewhere that's 5mins from my house -- but I was worried..so many places around here look like it's 1985 & I don't need to rock a frosted mullet. Well, consider me a convert to The Shampoo Bar Salon!!! A-mazing!!!!! I absolutely LOVE the cut I got from Megan!!! The place has a nice modern look, everyone there was professional & so nice, and Megan totally knew what would work well to deal with my (crappy, limp, uncooperative) hair! I'm so happy! - I can't wait to go back in 8 weeks for a good maintenance trim! Port Richmond Win!!! read more

This is the best salon that I've been to. They are friendly, good at what they do, and the services are affordable. My stylist was Katelyn, she did an ombre on my long, thick hair which was probably a pain! She didn't mind though. She took good care of my hair, especially since there was some initial damage from using boxed dye. My hair looked amazing after I left the salon and has been in such better condition ever since. :) I'll be back for sure. read more

I am really glad that I came to Shampoo...I moved to this area a little while ago and my old stylist is now an hour and a half away, so I needed somewhere new and am glad I found it. I was completely thrilled because I called and got an appointment for the same day for a cut and highlights, which in my book is a godsend since my schedule is erratic. My stylist was Theresa and I really liked her. Like Mallory said they really do take the time to discuss what you want to do with your hair. She even took the time to explain to me the different types of highlighting methods which I was unaware of...but anyhow she really did a good job with the consult and listened. She had a very pleasant demeanour and the time passed quickly... My hair looked great afterwards as well...and I can't say about the price for the neighborhood since this is the first place I've been down here, but it was significantly less than what I had been expecting! Great place...give it a go read more

This place is the best. Great service, friendly atmosphere. Couldn't ask for anything more.

SAVED MY LIFE!!! Best Salon around.... This salon is AMAZING!!!! Seriously saved me from a hair disaster!!!!! I went to another local salon in fishtown and got a botched cut and ombre/color that was horrendous!!!! Called Shampoo bar, got an appointment right away and had corrective color with Andrea; she is a miracle worker!!!!!!!!!!!! She listened to what I said, she understood what I hated about my bad color, and knew exactly how to fix it. She spent so much time looking at my hair and picking precise colors that would work with my skin color, and fulfill the look I was going for. Not only did she fix my color, she fixed the cut too!! Finallly a stylist who understands what you are looking for, listens, and makes your hair look perfect! My hair looks and feels so much better now!! If you want a stylist who takes her time, understands color, and is truly an artist, go see the girls at The Shampoo Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is like winning the lottery to find a stylist and salon like this--will seriously never ever go anywhere else. My hair has never looked so good!!! THANK YOU ANDREA!!!!!!!!!!!! The after pic is my profile pic if you wanna see! wish i could show the before too!!! read more

I had a similar experience to the Rebecca S. I went through the same circles trying to redeem my deal find voucher- no one called me back etc... But I DID finally get an appointment. I am sorry I did! The mani/pedi part of my experience (the only part I stayed for) was so awful I thought I was being punked. Seriously. The polish on my toes was clumpy and there was cotton from the nailpolish remover stuck in there. I was so dumbfounded I couldn't even say anything. I then waited for 20 minutes upstairs for my facial, finally giving up and making an excuse to leave just to get the hell out! I have never dealt with them for hair, but DO NOT go their for any nail services! What a waste! read more

I went to this salon because a friend of mine has been going there for years. I walked in there(super cute decor), was greeted by Andrea (super cute too) and had to fill out a card. She had me sit in her chair and asked me what I wanted. I told her I wanted my recently dyed red hair back to blonde!! She didn't even bat an eye knowing full well how much work this was going to be!! She went over the color chart and we picked out my new hues. She patiently stripped my hair twice and the applied my colors. After my wash out and trim I was the EXACT blonde goddess I envisioned myself to be!!! I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks yet not paying anywhere near that. I am thrilled and this salon has a new client. The hubby was thrilled!!! Definitely recommend this salon!!! read more

I purchased a voucher for Shampoo Bar Salon and Spa from Dealfind a few months ago. The voucher clearly states "no expiration date". I have called the Shampoo Bar four times, and each time they stated they don't have any openings for quite awhile and that they will "call me back". Needless to say, they have never called me back despite repeated phone calls. The last time I called, the person on the phone stated that "the girl who set up this voucher isn't here anymore and that has created a problem." Well, darling, let me educate you about something. It doesn't matter if that person is there or not. The voucher I have is a contract that creates an obligation which you are duty-bound to fulfill. A sustainable society is based on people and companies fulfilling their promises and obligations. When people and companies simply all begin deciding that they just don't feel like honoring an obligation, that is a sign of the beginning of society's downfall and collapse. Suppose all companies just started deciding that they weren't in the mood to provide an agreed-upon and purchased service. There would be chaos, wouldn't there? Kindergarten rules: When you make a promise, you keep it. read more
