Been a client at Studio Teknik now for 4 years and I couldn't be more pleased with the consistency of their work and service. Every time I get fresh blond highlights there or a cut to reshape my layers or just a trim to keep my hair looking nice & healthy, I receive so many compliments! No matter who does my hair there, I am always happy with the results. They understand & interpret exactly what I want to do with my hair. Or if I'm on the fence about a look I want to go for, they are great at making suggestions based on the texture/length/color of my hair. Very consistent. The stylists & the owner truly know how to make you feel like a million bucks. They have a way about their salon that makes you feel at home there. They really care about their clients' experience & it shows in their quality of work and customer service. Highly recommend Studio Teknik!! read more

Studio Teknik - Blonde bombshell. - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been going to Studio Teknik for 14 years and I've never been disappointed. Nikki always does a great job with my hair with haircuts, single process, double process, and thermal reconditioning, which is a time-consuming process that some other stylists don't do very well -- but comes out very well on me each time Nikki does it. The salon has also been doing things very safely during COVID-19. read more

Courteous, professional, and chic = studio teknik. The vibe is effortlessly cool. Each stylist has his or her own aesthetic, but don't let that fool you: they are all capable of making you look great. Kim is the kind soul that transforms my hair woes into wows. I cannot recommend her enough. I've started to dye my hair, too, which I never did professionally, because I can trust that she will do a great job. I like to be funky but must maintain a professional appearance and Kim is always successful at helping me find the perfect balance. Give her a try! read more

Studio Teknik - Kim is a joy! It's a major plus that she is super good at cutting hair and making me feel fabulous~ check out my waves!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Worst experience ever. I received a $650.00 botched Japanese thermal straightening performed by Nikki and her assistant on 1/9/19. The service was much more friendly oriented and less professional as Nikki told me of her relationship with her ex which turns out is the co-owner (Alex), and went on to let her assistant process my hair as she took smoke breaks. Shortly after the straightening my hair kept falling off so I eventually decided to shave it off on 7/21/19. A little background about my hair: My hair was completely virgin hair-- I had never had chemical processing, my hair was 18 inches, full/thick, and 4a-b texture. A few days after the Japanese thermal straightening I noticed an enormous amount of hair fall when brushing my hair. And when I washed my hair it would fall out in clumps. A week and a half after the Japanese thermal straightening I had a follow up appointment with Nikki to express my concerns regarding the shedding and thinness. However, she was passive aggressive about the matter and told me my hair was in better shape now than it was when I initially came in for the thermal straightening. By 1/31/19 my hair is rapidly thinning (all over) and I have huge bald spots around the perimeter of my head. Shortly after the entire perimeter of my hair broke off. I was so stunted by this experience I didn't seek professional help for 5 months. I wore a wig because my hair was so damaged and thin. Through various consultations with PROFESSIONAL hair stylists I learned there was nothing left to salvage--my hair was completely ruined. On 7/21/19 I gave myself a buzz cut. I've read other reviews and I'm glad Nikki was able to help others, but this is my experience and truth. I've wished I had a different experience. read more

I have been searching for a GREAT hairstylist that doesn't charge exorbitant prices for years. I'm not unreasonable - I just don't want to spend more than $100 on a cut and color every three months (I only get single process color - I get my grey hairs dyed to my regular black - I'm revealing pretty personal information here on yelp - don't hold my vanity against me). I recently tried out Studio Teknik for my cut and color - I had Kim, and she was great! The appointment was about 45 minutes late (hence the 4 not 5 stars) throwing off my afternoon, but the wait was pretty well worth it. The color looks really good, and the cut was well done. Despite the very late appointment, I'd consider going back for another visit! They are pleasant, well informed about hair and hair products, and they have more than reasonable prices. Overall, pretty lovely salon. I just wish they were open on Sunday's also! read more

I had a great experience with Kim and Studio Teknik! My hair is super low maintenance, so sometimes I don't bother paying salon prices for haircuts. After seeing how beautiful my roommate's hair turned out after an appointment with Kim a few months ago, I had to give her a try. The salon is in a great location (literally across the street from Whole Foods on South Street) and the studio itself is clean and modern. Kim listened to me as I fumbled my way through describing kinda sorta how I wanted my hair cut, and made the most of the one-angle pictures I gave her to work with. She asked a lot of clarifying questions to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. During my entire appointment, she also walked me through exactly what she was doing, including describing the products she was using (shampoo, root lift, etc), which I think is really important for a stylist to do. It keeps you relaxed when you are doing something nervewracking like chopping all of your hair off! She's also really down to earth, easy to talk to and really wants you to love your hair after she's done working her magic! I've been living in Philly for 2.5 years and I have yet to find a hairstylist that I would return to, let alone recommend to others - until now! Also, if it's your first visit you get 20% off all of your services. That was a nice surprise! read more

Went in for a cut and color at Studio Teknik with Kim. She did a fabulous job! My hair came out wonderfully and exactly as I would have wanted. When my usual stylist shut down his salon, I was devastated. I was not sure if I could find someone that would understand my style preference. Luckily, Kim had some training under my old guy! It was almost fate! Can't wait to return and see what else she can do! read more

I have been going to Nei at Studio Teknik for years and am never disappointed in what an amazing job she does! I get my hair hair dyed regularly and the products they use at the salon keep my tresses in order. Nei is super professional and excellent at her craft, I always leave feeling like the cat's meow. Couldn't imagine going to anyone else, if your shopping for a new hair dresser request her, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Nikki has been cutting my hair for a decade. I started going because the shop was a block away from our apartment and was super convenient. Since then we've moved to South Philly and then to the 'burbs. While it's no longer the closest spot to get my hair cut, I keep going because over the past 11 years Nikki, Alex and the team at Studio Teknik have become friends. The place is like Cheers, everyone knows my name, they know my wife's name, they know my kid's name, they even know my dog's name! At this point I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. It's fun place with good people. Oh and they give a great haircut too. read more

After reading the reviews, I was really excited to come here. When I first walked in, I noticed that the salon looked kinda drab. I was expecting a nicer looking salon. Regardless, it's not a terrible salon. I guess it's a little bit of my fault because I wasn't sure what I wanted exactly. It was either cut it real short or just a trim. I ended up with a trim and new bangs. Most expensive trim I've ever had. I left feeling sad & with ugly bangs. I should have just went to a cheaper salon. I probably would have been happier if I chose for a more drastic haircut & perhaps they could have shown off their styling skills then. sadness -- don't intend to come back. read more

I think I lucked out having this place so close to my house! Every time I come here I get good service and the people who work here are so friendly. I usually get my hair cut by Aubrey (Audrey?) and it is awesome every time. She does exactly what you ask for and makes your hair look fabulous! This time I got some color put in which I have only ever done once before, and she helped me figure out the right color for me and made me feel comfortable about the process. I also get my eyebrows waxed here and they always do a great job! read more

I am perpetually disappointed with hair salons. I usually go in a few months overgrown and have a few guidelines based on my style and hair type, but I'm pretty open-minded, yet it seems everywhere I go they need to know exactly how to cut each piece or I end up leaving with a Navy regulation fade... booooring. It's like, hello you're the hair stylist not me, get creative! So when I found Studio Teknik it was like a dream come true! No matter how frequently (or infrequently - haha) I go in, I can pretty much say "do some layers, clean it up in the back and make me look cool" and I always leave feeling like a movie star. I was referred to Audrey but since have gotten a haircut from Nikki, Jamar and today from the new girl from NC (I'm sorry I'm horrible with names) and have never been disappointed. Not only are they talented creative and professional, but I'm not usually much of a "chatter" when getting a haircut but they are great at getting me talking, I don't know how they do it, but I love it. Haha I just had a great conversation with the new girl, Im going to remember her name next time because she was so fun to talk to I want to hang out sometime! I'm not much of a reviewer, but i felt inspired because Studio Teknik is hands down the best salon I've ever been to! read more

I don't know why I haven't written a review of this place yet - it's my favorite hair salon in Philly (and I've tried them all!). I get my hair cut and colored by Kim, and she is really fantastic. Great cuts, fabulous color, and she's also really great at talking through what you want and making sure you're happy. The rest of the salon is also just great. Everyone's really friendly, it's clean and looks good, they play fun music, and it's all round a terrific experience getting your hair done here. Plus, their prices are really reasonable! read more

Kim did a wonderful job on my hair. She is a great listener and gave me (almost) exactly what I wanted. She is very personable and also a great stylist. The color is a little too dark for my taste, but she assured me it will fade to exactly what I wanted. The cut and style is perfect and my brows have never looked so good! read more

Nikki has been my go-to stylist for over 10 years. She has exceptional talent turning unruly curly hair into cutting edge, but fantastically professional style. I'm a natural strawberry blondish color and trusted her for many years to kick my red up a notch. Recently I had her take my curls and turn them into a sexy chopping pixie. She's great at giving me a little bit of stylish edge but keeping me professional enough for my day job. Alex is about the sweetest salon owner/manager ever. I love the team. Such a great atmosphere. A true neighborhood gem. read more

I am a huge Fan of NIKKI, she is the best I am ugly by nature, and believe me there is no hope there. But I always come out looking better, so there you have it. if she can do that she can do anything. The place is very convenient located, and the atmosphere is always cordial. All the people working there make sure you feel welcome, Hugs coming in and going out a must. Prices always competitive. My girlfriend is going now too, and she confirms you must try this place :) read more

If I could give more stars I would... Every time I call to make an appointment Nikki always works a way to fit me in! When I arrive at the salon it's like one big family. Alex,Kim and Nikki are all wonderful people. I always leave really happy! Nikki rocks some awesome color and great hair' I suggest everyone go here :) read more

Great Location. Great Service. Really reasonable prices. The Super Stylist Kim is the best! Seriously, this place is great. Keep up the good work! read more

Kim is awesome! She patiently listened to me as I tried to explain what haircut I wanted, and spent time discussing a ton of photos I brought in. I am terrible at describing haircuts, but Kim worked with me to figure out what look I was trying to achieve. She did an amazing job with my cut and coloring!!! Studio Teknik is a great high end salon with reasonable prices and talented, down to earth staff. read more

I've was walking around South Street and stopped by when I saw the salon. Went in and had a quick chat and decided to give it a try. Nichole gave me a very nice experience and was easy to talk to. Can highly recommend going here for the service. The haircut was exactly as I wanted Nichole was easy to work with and made me feel more than just a costumer. read more

Nei never disappoints! I've been going to her for a few years now and always leave feeling satisfied. I always trust and give her the freedom to cut my hair as she fits. She knows how to tweak my hair to best fit my face and style. Not only is Nei so knowledgeable about hair, she is kind and attentive. Her professionalism keeps me coming back, I can't imagine going anywhere else for my hair services. read more

I have just left a real salon for the first time in a LONG time. And I look AMAZING. Nikki took my appointment for a platinum blonde root-job. Well, not just an ordinary root job. We're talking uneven spans of rootage on top of weakened, punished tendrils. So sad. She didn't: A: make me feel shitty about doing it myself for so long. B: expect that I belonged to her from now on. or C: invalidate my beauty prowess, instead respecting my considerable knowledge base of the inner workings of hair coloring (I have, for pete's sake, been doing it myself for 20 years.) So she evened it up with product that was so gentle and smelled so good I was blown away. Then she did a blow out and sent me on my way, assuring me that my hair was in better condition than she thought it would be from my fear over the phone. The best part? If you are a student with a Campus Philly card, Studion Teknik offers 50% off services on Tues, Wed and Thursday. I walked out of there so happy I could have cried. I started doing it myself so long ago because I could'nt afford such a high maintenence color so regularly. But now, I just may treat myself a little more often. I've been to hairdressers who insist on being in control. Nikki let me maintain my control and yet allowed me to relax enought to trust my head to her hands. And that, my Yelp friends, is a concerted team effort in the name of "lookin' gooood".... They're tops. If you care where you spend your money, go to Studio Teknik and then treat yourself to a nice lunch at Whole Foods with all the loot you saved. read more

Nikki and Studio Teknik totally rock. I have been going to this place since it opened. As a man I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere that the place has. The mens cuts are priced right and she has plenty of advice from mild to wild which I love but strives to get you the haircut you want. I have gotten everything from a quick clean up to highlights and haircut and everything has always been perfect. Plus the best part is that Nikki and Audrey are great people; friendly and funny without being pretentious or ridiculous. Even waiting for my wife's double process, cut and blow dry seems to fly by. I can't say enough good stuff about studio teknik. read more

Visiting Philly and went for a much needed color and cut before Christmas. Alex did a wonderful job on both. I love it and feel 10 years younger with the new color! Everyone in the salon was very friendly and made you feel right at home. read more

I visited the Studio Teknik for the first time yesterday to go from long, frizzy, damaged hair to a chic and modern bob. Jamar cut my hair and he did an amazing job. I came with a million different pictures of bobs and couldn't decide on the best one for my hair type + face shape. He took all the information I threw at him and turned it into a flattering haircut. Overall the salon is super cute and I was surprised because of the location, I had lived on South Street a few years ago and this place is nothing like some of the business that used to be there. It was really a great experience with a true professional, I would definitely suggest giving this salon a shot because of the great service, attentive professionals and it was mega cheap for a Philadelphia salon, as a new customer you get 20% off! So my awesome haircut was only $40+tip. I've gotten super crappy haircuts for more! read more

After a long search to find places that had Japanese hair straightening technique, I almost gave up until I came across Studio Teknik. Nikki is a certified straightening stylist and did a wonderful job on me! It was expensive and that took away one star! Other Nikki and Studio Teknik is amazing!!! read more

Natasha is amazing. I've been shopping around in Philly for the last two years for a good hairdresser and I have never been fully happy with one until she cut my hair. Afterwards I immediately made another appointment for 8 weeks ahead and can't wait to go back! read more

Hands down the best haircut I've ever had. Alex spent a full 10 minutes giving me an amazing head massage during my shampoo, then Nicki (spelling?) executed exactly what I wanted from my haircut, followed by a fantastic blowout. And everyone was incredibly friendly and fun. It was obvious that they enjoy what they're doing and it makes the experience great! I will definitely be back. read more

Jamar is fabulous! I work right near Studio Teknik and went there for a hair cut about a month ago. I needed one badly. They had no problem squeezing me in after work. I had kind of an idea of what I wanted but was not 100% sure. I gave Jamar a basic idea and he ran with it! I am so glad he did! One of the best hair cuts in my life! That man is wonderful! I am for sure going back to him again when it is time for the next hair cut!!! read more

I bought a Buy With Me daily deal here and used it for a cut and blow dry. I walked in (no appt) and they were happy to take me, which was great. The shampoo and conditioner smelled awesome - I think they use BedHead products. The stylist did a pretty good job...a few long strands that she forgot to trim with the rest, but I'd probably go back if they ran other promotions! Definitely worth the discounted price! Not sure if I'd pay $50 for the cut. read more

Won't go anywhere else but here. Nikki has always given me the best advice on what to do with my hair even when I'm too scared to do so. And it always comes out fabulous!!!! Kim does an amazing makeup application. She's done my daughter's makeup for a few dances and each & every time it's absolutely flawless! Love this place! Great people and amazing work! read more

I have been coming to Studio Teknik ever since I moved to Philly three years ago and Brian has recently become my "go-to" stylist. The last haircut that I got from him truly stood out for its sheer AWESOME-NESS! When I entered the studio, Brian greeted me and showed me photos on his IPad of a celebrity whose hairstyle I previously talked about. Brian demonstrated how he could recreate that same haircut for me and by the end of the visit he succeeded in doing just that! The ability to think about a customer beyond their appointment is truly the definition of top notch service! Thank you Brian and the team at Studio Teknik! read more

Love this place! Entire staff is super friendly and very professional. Brian did a great job on my hair and I won't be going anywhere else!

Beautiful blowout by Georgiann! The owner was very friendly and prices are extremely reasonable! I will be back!

I have been going to the owner, Nikki, for so many years I can't remember when she first started caring for my hair. I have long, thick, curly hair. She has always given me cuts that enhance my curls and the shape of my face. I did not always color my hair, but once I started to I really discovered her talent and expertise. No matter how vague my description of what color I want she manages to get it just right (usually getting a better color for my hair and skin then the random photo I found on pinterest). I consistently receive compliments on my hair and I give Nikki a lot of credit for that. I won't trust anyone else to cut or color my hair as well as Nikki, but I also really appreciate the quality of products that she uses and the care that she takes in keeping my hair healthy. She notices when it's getting dry from heat styling or weather and pays special attention to it giving it an extra conditioning treatment to revive it. She gives me advice on products and styling and it's always spot on. Lastly, the entire salon is friendly and professional. They take care of you. It's like a salon should be, a relaxing experience where you can feel pampered and leave looking and feeling amazing. read more
