    I cannot recommend this salon enough. I have been coming to Adolf Biecker for years. Specifically, I go for Alanna. She is phenomenal!! I have very dark and very difficult pin straight Asian hair. Of course, I want to go lighter with balayage and highlights, and she kills it every time. I have suggested this salon to many of my friends that live near here and all of them tell me it's the best- which it is! Fantastic service over the phone and in person. All the staff is so nice and attentive. Always helpful when I need to schedule or move appointments. I have since moved from the area and come back here just to get my hair done, because no one else is able to match the quality of the salon, staff, training, etc. 5/5 I don't trust anyone else with my hair but their team!!

    Left side

    Just got a "balayage" with Alana. I knew what I wanted and what I didn't want, so I explained it thoroughly and showed examples of what I want and what I don't want and double checked that we were on the same page. All that to get EXACTLY what I said I did not want, in two distinctly different shades (my left side is visibly lighter than my right side, both the person who did the blow dry and the reception lady agreed that two sides looked different), and with a very distinct boarder between the colored and the natural part (I also mentioned specifically that I do not want that). Adding to the quality of the work, Alana hasn't even bothered to take a look at the result after the blow dry, or even to say good buy, or even to talk at all since the moment she started working on my hair. I guess she was too busy ruining someone else's hair. I wanted a new look for my b-day, instead, I look like shit. Crying as I type this. Never will I set foot in this place again. PS Not that it matters in the light of the resulting look of my hair, but I also got a mild food poisoning there. Cream for their coffee had gotten bad, I could tell by the huge white chunks it formed when I poured it in the coffee, so I didn't drink it. Alana gave me another cup with the cream already added and commented that one needs to steer it real good. I didn't register the comment at first, but the taste of the coffee was sour, and I got a stomach ache very soon after drinking it. Only then I realized that the cream was bad the second time too, she just stirred the chunks of the sour milk really good so that they are not visible. When I commented on that, Alana just ignored me. I mean, it is definitely not necessary to provide coffee for the customers, but, as long as you do it, and it is a part of your service, don't hide bad milk and give people food poisoning. Better not have the coffee at all, in my opinion.

    David was awesome! My first time getting my hair done in Philly. This place was a third party recommendation. I was planning on this event to donate my hair, walked in and spoke to David 2 months prior about the best way to go about it since I was making a little event at school with it. He thoroughly explained and showed me what I should do. 2 months came and went. Yesterday 4/24 I chopped off over 12inches, 12 donated and whatever David needed to do to make me look good. From the hair washing scalp massage to the over all style.... everything was and still is perfect. Thank you David for doing such an awesome jobz

    Update after my last review: more praise!! I've since continued seeing Lauren K. for my haircuts. She's awesome, friendly, listens to me, and does a great job on the cut and style every single time!! I decided to add a color service this past visit and was honestly a little nervous as I haven't colored my hair in years. Laura did my balayage highlights and they are gorgeous!! She took the time to talk first, explained the process to me and answered all my questions before agreeing that what I wanted was a good fit. I am in love with the result. Downside: I do have to agree with other reviewers commenting on the front desk atmosphere. They've never been particularly friendly in my experience but this most recent visit I walked in and there were 5 or 6 people standing behind the desk silently staring at me. Not one smile or greeting...super awkward. I don't know what's going on up there but don't let the front desk stop you from getting great hair care! I still give it 5 stars because it's worth the odd interactions at check in and check out for this fantastic hair.

    So even post covid this place is great! Everyone is really nice and you can tell they really care about their clientele, the way they go out of their way to ensure safe practices of hand washing, social distancing and even going as far to provide new masks to people so you won't ruin yours with color. I live in the Northeast so it's a bit of a hike, but I go for my colorist Alanna who's an absolute ARTIST and will have you laughing 90% of the time your there. She's sweet and so talented. If you ask for her you will not regret it. I got my hair cut by Riley who's really friendly and actually LISTENS to what you say about what you want and gives that exactly to you. Now it is a bit pricy, but it's worth it and i'd gladly pay that price everytime, if it's done right. 10/10 would absolutely and will go again :)

I recently moved to northern libs from center city. The first few months I traveled into center city to get my nails done but yesterday I decided I was over it. I read a million reviews about a ton of places in walking distance and on a lark gave this salon a try (the fact that one of the comments said they had a cat sealed the deal). I honestly could not be happier!!! Everyone has had a bad manicure so I went in skeptical. I'm a creature of habit and I know my old salon is amazing but the ability to walk and not fight traffic was clutch. Anyway this place is phenomenal. They take their time, they are so nice, Lemon (the cat) is absolutely precious. My nails look stunning!! I've received so many compliments today!! I got the powder dip and seriously my nails are flawless. I could not be happier and I'm thrilled to have a new salon to become a regular

Lin took such care with my nails and they are absolutely flawless. I would trust them with any design or request. The owner Vy was kind, funny and talented as well!

    I have had gel manicures and regular pedis a few times here. The last time I went the owner was…read moregiving me a massage while the tech was painting my nails. First, he seemed to be giving a more aggressive massage than usual making it difficult for tech to paint my nails. Then he was massaging my lower back and actually "massaged" my bottom. He has never done this before. It was gross. I tried to move and he moved his hand up. Also, the tech I had -I don't know her name- she is the youngest one -again did a gel manicure that chipped within 2 days. I thought it was a fluke the first time but now I know it is her. She also rushes as though there is another customer waiting when there isn't. I was hoping for a different tech that did a better job on another visit but no such luck. The positive is they use plastic liners for foot tub and give you a cold water bottle.

    I have been putting this off for a while, but I'm sad to say that I won't be going back to Allure…read more I have always been a walk in because I never know if I'll feel well on a given day and have the energy to get my nails done. I probably should have made an appointment for my last few visits, because I somehow always get Coco and she's just not good. She did a dip mani on me a few weeks ago - my first - that was so lumpy and thick that the cuticle edges kept catching on my hair and clothes. When I finally went back to have it removed and get a regular gel manicure instead, she rushed through my pedicure (no spa, just regular). While she was using the callus file she was looking around the salon and not at my heels, which she was sanding down to nothing. Barely any massage. The gel manicure was also rushed. She was using a worn file to shred the thick layers of dip powder - which she'd applied a few weeks ago - until my nail plates felt sore. You can see how the polish was applied. No cleaning up of the skin around my nails and a gap between the polish and cuticle. I didn't love the color (it definitely looked different on the swatch nail) but I just wanted to leave at that point. I walked out feeling like I wasted $40 plus tip. And now my nails are SO THIN. I'm sad because I really like Alice, Lily, June, and the gentleman who does the massages. I've been going here forever. I just can't keep wasting money on bad manicures. I also miss when they'd use a fresh file and buffer on each client, but now they're obviously reusing the ones they have into the ground.
