I don't really write reviews but I was incredibly impressed and pleased with my hair after coming to Apotheca. I'm not local and come to Bethlehem around 2/3 times a year to see my grandparents, and from now on I'll only get my hair done when I come out here. The atmosphere was so amazing, everyone was chatting, music was good, and my stylist Ashley was so attentive and did better than I imagined. She fixed my hair and in only an hour. I just wanted to say thank you again and recommend this place to everyone! read more

I had really high hopes for Apotheca they were highly recommended. I'm not real picky about my hair, and have never left a bad review for a buisness before. However i really feel Apotheca needs to know about my experience. I walked out with the second worst hair cut of my life. I asked for a shag hair cut, with curtain bangs. I ended up with some sort of bob like cut. My bangs were utterly destroyed. The stylist took a weird blunt chunk out of the center, and didn't blend them. I have a weird mix of long and short chunks for bangs now. To their credit a senior stylist 'fixed' my bangs-its better than what the original stylist did, but it's still a step below good. I realize I was given to a junior stylist, and it's a learning process, but I think she really needs a senior stylist to take her under their wing and mentor her. I certainly will not be going back. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this salon on 4/1/19. I had been looking for a new hair salon for many months and stumbled across this gem in Bethlehem. I was looking to get a trim with highlights for the summer. I called to schedule an appointment the morning I went to get the work done and was so happy they could fit me in! The salon was so cute! Clean and very fresh looking. They offered to take my coat for me as soon as I arrived and the front desk attendant was very accommodating and friendly at check in and check out. Bonnie took care of me, offered me a refreshment, and took her time with the work. She listened to what I wanted and we discussed what would look best based on my coloration. I'm so happy with how my cut and highlights turned out! Will post photos! read more

This hair salon is warm and inviting as soon as you set foot in the door. It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly service and quality of hair cut that I got, I also thought the prices were reasonable and the place was clean and has the added bonus of a cute boutique to browse! Happy to come back here as a regular in the near future for all my beauty needs. read more

I was referred to Julie for an appointment for a facial while in town. I no longer live in the Lehigh Valley but was in need for a good facial. I'm so glad I came but Julie's facial was excellent. Although parking on 3rd street can be a bit of a nightmare I was able to find something just a block or two away...do bring quarters or have your credit card ready because Bethlehem loves their parking meters! The salon was bright and fun, it was really busy and high energy. I checked in and pursued the products they had for sale. Julie came out to greet me within minutes and took me to the treatment room. We had a quick chat about my skin concerns and routine and then she left so I could get changed and situated. The room was cozy, good temperature and relaxing. Despite being a busy salon you couldn't hear any of that within the room itself which is great. Julie provided a thorough facial and used products that smelled great. She does an excellent facial massage and after massaging your hands they are wrapped in these heaters that provide moisture to your hands, it was heavenly. I will definitely be back the next time I am back in town. read more

I had a facial with Amanda and it was AMAZING! She was so nice and asked me questions about my skin, made sure I was comfortable, and did such a fantastic job making my skin look and feel gorgeous. The salon is such a nice vibe-relaxed, clean, and so welcoming. I booked my next facial before I left! read more

Change can be scary, but the hair experts at Apotheca are there to get it right! Melissa Meyer has been doing my hair for 5 years, and I have always been a blonde. Last weekend I went brunette. I was a little nervous, but very very excited. Melissa was able to give me exactly what i wanted, and avoid any mishap. I can't forget to mention how awesome my cut was too! Everyone else on staff was so complimentary of my hair following my appointment! The team at Apotheca can do it all. Blondes, brunettes, lashes, nails, brows and everything in between. This is your place. read more

A sincere thank you to Krystle! Visiting from out of town, I was in a pinch for a good cut and overdue for blond highlights. Thank you Krystle for squeezing me into your schedule last minute and for the stellar job you did! Also, a much deserved shout out to Princess who washed my hair. The bonus head massage literally melted my stress away. I left this salon not only feeling like a million bucks but also relaxed! Now I just have to figure out a way to visit more regularly. Thanks to this salon...you are a gem for sure! read more

I come here to get my eyebrows waxed and Amanda is the BEST!!! She is knowledgeable and very friendly. Her schedule is limited so you won't get a last minute appointment. Plan ahead. Parking is street parking and hard to come by. Atmosphere is cozy. Front area has products for sale and clothing. read more

FINALLY! found my salon!! i have been going to Aley for about 7-8 months now and she is truly amazing! my hair always comes out better than I expect. she always suggests things that can take my hair to the next level and the cut is impeccable! if you are looking for a great salon with awesome staff go here you will not be disappointed! read more

This salon is very overpriced for the poor work that they do. If you are not a regular client they stick you with someone new who has no idea what they're doing. I recently got extensions put back in that costs $400! She also put them in HORRIBLY. My head hurt so badly afterwards I had to take some out to relieve the pain. I left the salon with a blowout that had zero volume and my hair was flatter than I've ever seen it in my life. I would not trust these people. Some might be experienced the new person I had was awful and my hair is ruined. read more

Apotheca is my fav for so many reasons: talented stylists, awesome clothes, great location, comfortable environment, competitive prices, and Amanda making my face tolerable to look at. I live in Philly, and drive over an hour Apotheca for brows and lashes. Just do the right thing & call to make an appointment with her like, YESTERDAY. read more

As a first time guest, I was pleasantly surprised. I had the pleasure of meeting Bonnie; she styled, cut and colored my hair. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and we tweaked the color based on my skin tone and we set realistic expectations. Love my balayage, everyone who sees it is obsessed. Thank you!! read more

Got a pedicure and gel manicure by the awesome Linh. She is gentle, thorough and so talented. She even did a cute simplistic design on my nails. read more

Thank you for the new hair color Melissa! Love it. Traveling for the past month and from Florida so it was so nice to find a great salon and amazing stylist. read more

Just got back from my appointments this afternoon and had to write a review! Apotheca was wonderful. I wanted to give a Brazilian wax a go and this salon and Amanda came highly recommended. I was nervous going in to the waxing procedure but Amanda made it quick and relatively painless. She was nice to talk to and made me feel at ease. I also received a spa pedicure from Kim. It was a great experience. The pedi was relaxing and I loved having the option of getting a paraffin wax. She too, was truly lovely, and pleasant to chat with. I highly recommend Apotheca for its waxing and nail services. The boutique had a lot of cute items such as jewelry, clothing and other accessories. I picked up an awesome hat on the way out for my upcoming trip to the beach. Thanks Apotheca! read more

Amanda is beyond fabulous! I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! This is the first time I've been a client at Apotheca but I can tell you it definitely won't be the last. I'm approaching 38 years old so it's definitely time to take care of my skin. I wanted to get a facial see what it was all about and talk to her about a good skin care regiment. First of all the space is very calm, clean & comfortable. One of the first questions Amanda asked me was if there's anything that she needed to be concerned about with my skin so she knew exactly what to expect. I know some people like to relax during a facial but I'm a talker and was asking tons of questions and she was very informative of each step that she was taking. I loved the cleanser that she used before we started the facial she said it was something that she personally used as well. She was telling me how it would literally melts her make-up off her face ( let's be honest were all looking for a fabulous cleanser to remove our make-up, especially mascara ). Something I really wasn't expecting during the facial was she massaged my shoulders, my hands & my forearms she also said that she does a foot massage, that was something I passed on only because I'm very ticklish. Another thing that I really loved about Apotheca is that it's not just a salon they have the cutest little boutique, so I was lucky enough to walk out with this long amazing black duster that I've been searching for for so long and it was 40% off! Plus the facial cleanser ( little barn apothecary )that she used on my face I was able to purchase as well, the product was organic oil based and has a fabulous aroma. I can't wait to go back!! read more

AWESOME SALON! Pros: - Place is SUPER cute - Staff is REALLY friendly - Very clean, everyone is very attentive - Offers you water/tea when you walk in. - Very accommodating to your needs - Very reasonably priced - Selection for nailpolish is pretty good especially the schlack types I walked in with an appointment I made an hour prior on Saturday afternoon and they had an immediate opening for a manicure. When I came in, I barely waited 3 mins before I was greeted by the manicurist, Kim. Kim was super nice and took me to their manicure area, which was clean and relaxing. The whole space is really cozy and friendly, unlike most stark white salons. It's clear that they put a lot of time into decorating the place and making it welcoming. My manicure was quick and was possibly the best one I ever had! I will definitely be returning for future manicures, and I will probably be coming in for their waxing and hair services as well. Honestly, I'm a very picky person and once I found a great place I stick to it. And I can say, hands down, this is probably the best places in Bethlehem! Update: I did go back to get my hair colored and trimmed. Kristle came highly recommended, by another employee- Kim, so I thought I'd give it a go. I never had my hair colored before and needed a change. I told Kristle my hesitations but my need for change and that I was open to anything. It's like she read my mind and helped me decide on a color that would compliment my skin complexion. She knows her stuff and I highly recommend her! Additionally, the layers she gave me was pretty phenomenal and my hair is very thankful for her. Probably the best haircut I have ever received. Honestly. Recap: Kim and Kristle I highly recommend. read more

Amazing. I love this place. I was pretty scared to ever get my brows waxed, and Amanda not only did an amazing job waxing them, but she knows how to shape them perfectly. She has the best eye for making sure you look great, and she's super fast and efficient!! I highly recommend Apotheca salon, and specially Amanda, for getting waxed! They also have a small, but amazingly cute, selection of clothes right up front! What's not to love? You can get your brows done, or your hair, or get a facial, and get a sweet outfit at the same time? Amazinggggggg! read more

I Love (with a capital L) this place. I come in regularly for waxings with Amanda and cut and color with Ryan. They both do awesome jobs and are super friendly. Amanda is quick and professional. Ryan is a riot! Total sweetheart, fun to talk to, and I'm always extremely pleased with my hair. Highly recommend them both. The boutique out front is cute too, a bit expensive, but sometimes it is nice to splurge. Note: You can't tip on your credit card, so bring cash. There is an ATM right across the street which is convenient. read more

Love Amanda have been going to her for over 12 years!! She's the only person I trust to wax me. She has done magic to my sparse brows over the years. read more

Best haircut I've ever had, and ten bucks cheaper than the place I used to go in the city. Anyone who wants to complain about price, go ahead and get your $15 haircut at the mall or something. This place is all about quality, and it's totally worth it. Desiree (I might be spelling that wrong) knows what's up & she's super sweet. read more

I am the type of person to always leave positive reviews but this unfortunately is where I am at. I came in for a color appointment where I was told one thing and delivered another. I received a botched "balayage" and was told to wash it 6 or 7 times and I'd like the color better or only then should I come back in. It wasnt only the color that was the problem, it was the overall "bleach and tone" look that was done leaving a ring of roots about 3 inches around the base of my head and blotchy lightened ends worse than if I had applied it myself at home. I had called that same day because it was just not ok and told if I wanted it corrected I had to go to the same person who didn't have any evening or weekend availability. I took PTO to come back in and all that was done was a bleach wash and a new toner, no correction to the lightening/roots...and I was CHARGED for a blowout. I ultimately paid over $300 for a horrible job and the salon didn't reach out at all following the experience. After getting my hair fixed somewhere else and taking time to let this pass by, I just couldn't let it go. I reached out to speak to management in hopes this would help prevent a situation like this from happening again and to possibly get at least the additional charge for the blowout refunded. I was told to send pictures and after two weeks of no response I followed up. I get a two-sentence response saying because I waited to follow up about my experience they would not be refunding me. Their salon posts beautiful hair on their instagram and I believe the majority of their staff put out great work but the way they handled this experience just sits terribly with me. I hope this prevents anything like this from happening in the future. read more

P.S. I saw Melissa again last week for a cut n color / highlights. Unlike other salons, you don't sit in the chair all day. She's efficient and she knows what she is doing. Just ask her about all the training she's had. My husband LOVES my new look and couldn't keep his hands off my hair LOL. Err, thanks Melissa for the sexy hair! P.S. The clothing and accessories at the boutique are awesome and totally trendy (in a good way) for Bethlehem. I bought 3 dresses for $75 - score! read more

I started going to Ryan at Apotheca about 2 months ago for hair and color. He is WONDERFUL!!! A brilliant color artist and master stylist. He is also full of personality and so much fun to talk with. The salon is very relaxed and welcoming. They treat you like royalty without being pretentious. Today I decided to get my eyebrows waxed and a Brazilian wax. I got a Brazilian years ago in NY but never tried anyone locally. Julie did a wonderful job and it was a painless as a Brazilian wax can be. I've already booked another waxing in 5 weeks. Apotheca just expanded next door and everything looks wonderful!!! Try Apotheca. You won't regret it. read more

I've gone here a couple time for my hair and eyebrow waxing. I love it here! Amanda the owner is so friendly and helpful and Alicia does a great job with my hair!! So happy to have found a great salon that everyone is so down to earth. read more

Apotheca Salon and Boutique - Dog friendly environment! - Hair Salons Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Got highlights and a cut. Ryan fixed my box bleached hair and made it more perfect than I could have imagined and the price isn't bad at all esp compared to other high end salons that charge 300+ for the same service. Place is chill and relaxed vibe. Can chat or just sit and read. Will def come back here. read more

Honestly, I really like this place. The atmosphere, the people, and the cleanliness are all really great. However, I'm giving this place 3 stars because of how disappointing my hair cut was. I usually just get my eyebrows done (shoutout to Amanda because you always do mine so wonderfully), but one day I went in for a haircut. My hairdresser was Ashley and she was super cool, but she left soap in my hair after washing in and I had to go back and rinse it out. She also took so long to blow dry my hair and when I left the salon, my hair was still damp. My haircut doesn't look bad, but what I asked for it's bad. I wanted simple layer and all I have now are disappointing and uneven cuts. Maybe Ashley was having an off day or the other hair dressers are better? But I will definitely never be getting another hair cut there again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this salon. I have been here for facials, mani's and eyebrow waxing. Each visit was was wonderful! There is def not a snotty vibe, but a warm, inviting atmosphere. I've had Julie for waxing and facials, and she is wonderful. Personable, professional and knows just the right amount of conversation for the service she's providing. The facials are truly wonderful! And it is nice to have someone who understands a more 'natural' eyebrow look, and didn't just wax off everything making me always have the surprised look. My only helpful hint would be that tips are cash only, although cards are accepted (unless this changed recently). I look forward to my next visit with them! read more

Christina has been my go-to for waxing for years. She's quick, efficient, and incredibly skilled. She puts clients at ease and offers great advice and honest opinions. I can count on her for the best service recommendations in a genuine, non-pushy way. It may sound weird to look forward to waxing appointments, but after years of Christina's excellent and attentive care, I absolutely do. read more

Very decent prices for high quality service! Recommend Ryan for haircuts/styling and Christine for waxing. Very friendly, helpful staff. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

This place has never let me down. I have my hair done by Courtney and she ALWAYS does a fantastic job. She understands exactly what I'm looking for and if it isn't something that's going to work with my hair she lets me know, but she also makes recommendations for a cut or color or style along that same look that WILL work for me. I've had plenty of hair experiences at other salons, and this has by far outweighed every bad experience I've had. I've never tried their other services, but I would absolutely recommend this salon, and Courtney of course, to anyone! read more

Went for a Brazilian and it was horrible! I usually go to EWC where they use hard wax and I've never had an issue. But at apotheca they used regular wax and it was the most painful service I've ever gotten. Not only was it painful but my skin got a terrible reaction and broke out everywhere. For at least two weeks my skin was extremely tender, sore, and red. Maybe apotheca has better hairstylists but I would never go there for a wax!! read more

AMAZING!! What an adorable salon. It is so cute and homey inside. You feel like you're in your living room, there is such a great vibe. I went in to get a haircut and a balayge. Alexis did my hair and she is phenomenal. My hair looks and feels amazing. She is so sweet and really listened to what I was wanting in a hair style. I can't wait to go back! read more

I absolutely love this place, the staff is very attentive and friendly. I love my hair Stylest Melissa she is by far the best not just in Apotheca but in the valley, I'm super picky with my hair I been to almost every salon trying out Stylest read more

WOW!! Total shocker!! All seemed great by looks only! Nice atmosphere only! And this case, don't judge a book by its cover! Way too much went wrong from the front line receptionist always having a miserable disposition and never hiding it, to a crazy long, long, long, wait while sitting at the shampoo bowl... just waiting for the shampoo, And anything extra they decide to unnecessarily put on your hair just to charge you more! BTW.. Their shampoos are far too intense when receiving color! You should always only receive a very light shampoo when having a color procedure. Now to add insult to injury, the so called stylist I had, Sliced my haircut when I only needed the ends cut off... a trim, and my color was way off!? I Let the cut go because... well. Nothing I could do but let it grow, and have it re cut by someone else, who knows what to do. The color should have a very simple fix, however, after being so nice about it, this unprofessional stylist argued and argued With me, and pretended like I didn't understand?! I really am very reluctant to do a bad review about any business, as I know how damaging it can be if there is just a personality conflict or something that's just not true, but this is considered a top rate salon at top prices and I felt you all should know the truth about my experience! No one is perfect and I am well aware of that and more than willing to work with a stylist with my hair, as important as it is of course, but not when they are going to argue with me instead of simply tweaking it to my liking or the way it should be! read more

I've been going to Amanda for waxing for well over a year now and she's excellent. My brows look great. She's also knowledgeable and friendly. Recently, I had a facial and pedicure there and they were both very relaxing. My skin and nails looked great! The staff is friendly, the service is good, and the atmosphere is very swank and relaxing. Highly recommend! read more

I found my new stylist, Kristle (like Thistle)! A 5 star job on my color today. She took the time to find me a color that matched my expectations perfectly. She was a joy to talk to and didn't miss a beat. The salon is a very friendly environment and I would tell you to give them a look if you're in the market for a new place to get cut, waxed, colored, etc. read more

This is my second review for Apotheca because I realize that though I have been going here for a couple of years already, I have never given a proper review for the aesthetician services that I come for most often - waxing (Brazilian, eyebrows) and eyebrow tinting! I see Christina and she is super professional and precise. I always leave here feeling fresh and smooth and she is always friendly and sweet. I highly recommend this salon and Christina for these services and I am looking forward to getting a spa facial very soon! **NOTE: Something to keep in mind is that all tips must be cash.** read more

I highly recommend Apotheca for a manicure; I highly suggest going elsewhere for hair color. First, the good, their manicures are not cheap, I believe they are $20 but they use Deborah Lippman polishes, which are high quality and they take their time to do an absolutely perfect job. The manicurist was extremely pleasant and polite. Now for the bad, again, the colorist was extremely nice and I enjoyed our conversation. I felt that the job she did was fine -- nothing special -- but the bill came as a nasty shock. I paid about $100 for a few streaks of bleach and a blow out (which was extra and not explained to me in advance... NICE!) The place is very cute, they have other items for sale -- similar to what you might find at Anthropologie. read more
