I had a problem with my hair color and it seemed like it would never be resolved. I spoke with David who was so kind and understanding to my concerns. He came up with a strategy and great solution to get it back on track. In addition, he went above and beyond with little extras to make up for any inconvenience incurred. His great staff then took over with precision, skill and enthusiasm to make sure I was 100% satisfied. Olivia and Marilyn not only met my expectations, they truly exceeded them! From the moment you walk in you are greeted like a friend and the entire staff has superior knowledge in hair health, styling and color. I highly recommend this salon and will be a devoted client for life! read more

This was one of the most unprofessional, disturbing, and dishonest salon experiences I've ever had -- and I've worked in the salon industry for years. I booked a haircut with Christina for Sunday, October 12th at 12:45 PM. I even confirmed the time twice with the woman who took the appointment over the phone because I live an hour away and needed an afternoon slot. She clearly said 12:45 PM, and I put it in my calendar the moment we hung up. I drove an hour on my only day off to be on time -- only to walk in and be met with attitude, rudeness, and complete blame-shifting. The staff insisted my appointment was at 10:45 AM, claimed I was late, and told me Christina had already left. Then they had the audacity to demand I pay a $170 "no-show" fee even though I ARRIVED at the exact time I was given. They claimed they "called me since 10 AM," yet I did not receive a single call, voicemail, or text. Nothing. Absolutely no attempt to reach me. When I calmly offered to stay and wait, they flat-out refused to accommodate me or even attempt to fix their own scheduling mistake. David and Sierra handled the situation with zero professionalism, zero empathy, and zero accountability. As someone who has worked in salons, I can confidently say I have never seen a business treat a client this poorly. Any reputable owner would have apologized and corrected the error -- not doubled down and forced a paying client to cover THEIR mistake. The entire experience felt like a scam. The customer service was horrifying. And the way they speak to people is beyond unacceptable. I will be telling everyone I know in the industry to avoid this salon. If you value your time, money, or basic respect, DO NOT go to David J. Witchell. read more

I am an elderly woman and I have never felt so disrespected, ignored, and taken advantage of in my life. What happened to me at this salon was not just poor service it was cruel. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like I didn't matter. I cannot stand for long periods of time, and I made that clear. Instead of being offered help, compassion, or a proper place to sit, I was left standing in pain. When I was finally told to sit, the chairs were hard, extremely low, and agonizing. Getting in and out of them caused real physical pain. Anyone with even a shred of empathy would understand how difficult that is for an older person but the owners clearly did not care. I tried to explain my discomfort and limitations. I was brushed off. Ignored. Made to feel like a burden. I felt humiliated, as if my age made me invisible and unworthy of basic respect. I was spoken to in a dismissive, condescending way, as if I should just "deal with it." What hurts the most is the overwhelming feeling that I was taken advantage of. There was no concern for my well-being only for getting me in, getting me done, and getting my money. I was rushed, unheard, and treated like an inconvenience instead of a paying customer and a human being. This salon is not accessible, not inclusive, and not kind. If you are elderly, have joint pain, mobility issues, or simply expect to be treated with dignity, do not go here. The way they operate feels discriminatory and heartless. I left in physical pain and emotional distress, and no one should ever be made to feel that way especially not at this stage of life. I will never return, and I strongly urge others like me to stay away. read more

I have to give a shout out to Monica for my daughter's balayage ! I am rarely impressed and have lost faith over the years in finding a great colorist. But she did a beautiful job+ a very happy teenager ! read more

SUPER disappointed with my experience here. Booked with a senior colorist for a partial balayage. I had to split up the haircut and color because of time constraints with work. This is the only appt I could get before my baby shower. Stylist spent like 40 min on the partial highlight and I didn't see her again for the remainder of my appt. She didn't even check to make sure the tone looked good (I am a blonde). I was really looking forward to this to being a relaxing experience as it is the last hair service before I have my baby. I was told that I didn't book a separate blow dry so I needed to leave with wet hair as a blow dry is not factored into the appointment. I would have GLADLY paid, I always have at other salons, but it is always factored into the appt. I said how will they check the color and she said oh they can just dry a portion of the top of your head? WTF. This service cost $300 and DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE A BLOW DRY IN THEIR SCHEDULE. I have been getting my hair colored multiple times per year for 20 years and I have never, ever heard of this. How can you charge $300 for a partial balayage (which is astronomical btw) and not even factor in a blow dry? I am convinced this place is a money grab and they don't care about their clientele at all. I left the salon in tears with unbrushed, wet hair and highlights I'm not even sure if I like or not because my hair is still wet. 0/10 this place sucks, don't waste your money. read more

Extremely disappointed in how this salon handled our reservation. I'll start by saying I have visited this spa on multiple occasions to celebrate Mother's Day, couples spas and more with family and friends. I've always had a good experience, until I planned a 50th birthday girls spa day for 5 of my friends. Unfortunately, the night before our spa day, our birthday girls' husband suffered cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital. Needless to say, we were not going to the spa in the morning. After almost a month in the hospital, and a miracle, her husband is home and recovering. We reached out to the spa to reschedule our day. We needed to pay a 50% deposit and under stood this was non-refundable when we booked, however we had hoped the owners would have understood that an emergency situation was the only reason we had to cancel, rather postpone, our day. We would have loved to come back and celebrate more than just a birthday, and more than taken care of the staff had they accommodated us. However they decided that 'rules are the rules' and would keep our $700 deposit and not apply to a future visit. Needless to say, why would we ever come back? And patronize a business that has no heart or understanding for their clients. Sadly, I will not return or bring anyone to David Witchell again, and will find a spa that values their clients. I would not recommend spending your hard earned money at a place like this. read more

I have been going to David Witchell for a few years now, after trying many others. I am so happy that I found Marilyn. She is seasoned experienced and keeps current. She listensto what I want and my hair is always beautiful. She is always present and is a phenomenal Colorist. Thank you Marilyn. read more

Shopping for a long dress for a formal wedding. Natasha was so gifted in sizing me up and recommending trying on a dress I had walked past but not considered. Then earrings, then shoes; and it was all perfect together! With a background in architecture, I am extremely stylistically sensitive. THEN, Lena did just a few minor alterations (quickly, I might add) and it was all just really perfect. I could not have asked for a better experience. But, it is not inexpensive. But, I felt amazing AND comfortable; doesn't always happen for a 60+ y/o woman getting gussied up for a big event. ;-) read more

My husband and I had just come back from our honeymoon for a SECOND wedding reception, this time on the East Coast. Unfortunately TAP lost our bags, so I was desperate for a pick-me-up. The staff at David Witchell's salon gave me just that. I went with my mother and sister in law to get our hair and makeup done before the reception. It's such an impressive operation here. They juggle so many customers simultaneously while remaining calm, professional, and conversational. First, Janine did my hair. She was so delightful and fashionable. If I ever had goals for my hair and general badassery, it would be her. My hair looked and felt fabulous, accentuating the perm I already had. I went back and forth about my veil, but Janine happily and patiently accommodated either way Liz did my makeup, answering all the random questions about makeup I threw at her because I wanted to learn. Even when she was done and I thought it was fine, she sagreed to touch up my eyebrows when I decided they weren't to my liking. Such a joy to work with. My sister in law brought mimosas for the two of us to sip throughout the process, and I completely forgot about our lost luggage and the stress of attending a second reception. What a wonderful find, and I'm grateful for my mother in law bringing us here! Liz - makeup Janine - hair read more

DO NOT BUY ONLINE FROM THESE GUYS! They have no idea how to run an online shop and their customer service is the worst!!!!! I placed an order online 8 days ago. My account was charged and I got a confirmation email. I was tracking my parcel and after a couple of days, I noticed that my item was not being shipped. I sent 2 emails (because there was no phone number on their website), and no replies. I finally found their number and called the store at least 3 times, left 3 messages, and sent multiple IG messages until the last time that I called and I insisted that I would hold rather than wait for a call back finally their store manager picked up the phone. I explained that it has been 7 days and my item has not been shipped and I need this item for an event. She said she would get back to me (which she didn't) . That night I got an email saying your order has been canceled. I called back this morning and the store manager (Natasha) said that their online store sent me several emails... which is a lie! I have checked all of my inboxes and spam folders and I do not have a single email from them. They have charged my account over $500 without sending the item and now they have canceled the order. I am calling my bank to make sure my money will be returned, and also have to figure out what do to with the fact that I am so close to my event with no proper outfit. read more

Come here with lots of time and money. This shop is a collection of unique home décor, art and funky talking pieces to make the guests you invite to your home envious and curious as to your personal style. This store starts off as a Barnes and Nobles, then becomes a high end Bath and Body Works, morphs into a William and Sonoma and then a Anthropologie with funky IKEA art work on the walls. Every nook and cranny of this place has something cool to sell and is the ultimate stop for any occasion gift. This shop must do very well during the holidays. Prices are steep, it cost me $24 for a tube of mint hand cream, gourmet spread and preserves are averaging $17 for a small bottle, and every book here, although unique seems to be around $19.99 or higher. Hit up their 50% off shelving next to the registers, I'd buy more from that stock. I really loved the silver metal 3D koi art on the back wall behind the registers. I'll post pics of it and other items after this business page is approved by Yelp moderators. read more

I'm from out of town and came here for the first time for a facial. I was really impressed! They followed safety precautions and the whole atmosphere was so nice and relaxing. The waiting area was also decorated really nice and cute for Christmas. Kelsey did my facial and she was very friendly and did a great job. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

I will be searching for a new hair salon. I have given this salon multiple chances but after today, I will not be coming back. Between my last experience where I was overcharged for a "haircut" (basically just a blow out) and today where I took off from work for my appointment, drove 40 minutes here, and then was turned away because they "didnt have me in for a haircut," I am done being inconvenienced. This place is disorganized. Save yourself the time and money. Go somewhere else. read more

I have had only positive experiences here. Ashley and Maria are amazing, highly skilled! I absolutely love my new haircut by Ashley, she gave me the long layered look that brought back such volume in my hair. I got a blowout with curls done by Maria for a wedding and it was perfect and made getting ready that day so much easier. I received many compliments for both! read more

I walked in 3 minutes before my appointment. After standing around for a couple of minutes - I was the only person waiting around. The guy at the desk asks - Can I help you and okay x will be with you, have a seat. No - "hi" no "she is running a bit late", just had a seat. I sat there for over 20 minutes and then walked out. If he had said - "sorry we are running a bit late could you wait?". No problem I would understand and I would happily waited. I walk out and 5 or so minutes later, he calls me to tell me that the stylist was ready. I said "well I left" and gave him my reason why. He said "okay sorry about that so are you coming back?" :-)). The guy seems to be more concerned about how chic he thinks he looks rather than protect his stylists and the owner's business. read more

Made an appointment, drove 45 minutes to get there.....and there was no one available to do my color. Which is odd because I thought that's exactly why one would make an appointment. The fact the hardly anyone was wearing a mask was the nail in the coffin , hopefully not literally. I think it speaks to a bigger issue of the owners not caring about their employees or their customers. Still waiting on a return phone call from their manager........go somewhere else. read more

I came here after several friends told me what a great salon it is. I was really excited because it was my first visit to a salon since COVID. I asked for a cut and blonde highlights/balayage. She told me she would do caramel because she didn't want to damage my hair. However, I ended up with red/orange highlights. The stylist blamed my hair because it was so dark, which is interesting because I've had balayage and blonde highlights done on my hair before without any damage to my hair. Long story short, I was told I could have the red/orange color toned down or she could try to lighten it again, but it would cost me. Even though the color of my hair did not turn out caramel (and the manager agreed it was red/orange), nothing was done to satisfactorily remediate the issue. I would never go back or recommend this salon to anyone. They are unprofessional and not customer-oriented. I now have to go elsewhere to get my hair fixed. read more

If you want to just buy something off the rack, have time and money to kill, and you are lucky enough to find someone to help you, it's fine. If you place a special order, the order may never get placed, you'll have to follow up incessantly for weeks, then when it comes in, they won't have anyone to hand it off to you, then it won't be what you originally ordered. The place is chaos. read more

Unfortunately this place is not going to be my go-to salon anymore. I've been going here for almost 3 years and was super impressed by the care and skill set of the stylists. The last few attempts I've been unable to schedule with my stylist of choice, which I blame on the people at the front desk. It's basically impossible to schedule anything. Because I've been unable to schedule with my preferred stylist, my last few appointments have been with mediocre "apprentices" or just a random stylist. My haircut (no color) costs $150 with tip. I add on multiple services to help my hair but I don't get the same, long lasting effects that I originally felt years ago. The salon as well as the home store are both beautiful; I just wish the service was up to standard. read more

The front desk staff is most unprofessional, rude, incompetent bunch of idiots I've have to deal with. The senior stylist are great, to be frank after the last appointment will not be returning, get your sh- together! hire people who actually book appointments when they are suppose to, instead f/ up royally most of the time and hanging up on you repeatedly. you just lost a regular who spends weekly $$$ in your business. read more

Had Jack as my barber, and had an absolutely amazing experience. Jack truly paid attention to detail and made sure each step of the way that I was happy with the results. He went above and beyond in every way possible and gave an exceptional haircut & was a pleasure to be around. read more

Took my daughter there today for a blowout. I stopped going there years ago because I found the staff to be rude. Unfortunately, it has only gotten worse. The two front desk staff were laughing at a bridal party that had just left. They were making fun of the one of the ladies in the group. It was disgusting. My daughter came out 15 minutes from her appointment with her hair looking no different from when she went in. Worst salon and customer service. Never going back. read more

The best salon I have ever been in' The staff is warm and friendly!! The stylists are amazing!! I love it here!!!! read more

Came here bc I had a gift card and decided to use it for a blowout, makeup and nails. I had a little bit of gray roots showing and asked the girl if she could cover them. That was a mistake. She mixed up the color and started applying it. From the second she put it on, I could tell the color looked red. I asked her why does it look red and she assured me that's just the way the dye looks and it won't make my hair red. The dye smelled awful, like ammonia, made my eyes water like crazy. They finally washed it off and I can see my roots are red. I was furious and told her my hair is red! You said it would be brown! She apologized, and said yeah I mixed the wrong color. Said she'd fix it, applied some other smelly concoction. Did it fix it and make it look like my natural hair color - no. I was furious. The front desk still made me pay $85 for turning my hair into Ronald McDonald. Customer service at this salon is nonexistent. Their policy is even if your stylist messed up your hair, we still charge you. I will never let this salon touch my hair, and if you're looking for a quality place that knows what they're doing and are customer forward, I'd stay away from here. So many other places w skilled artists and great service, and this place isn't one of them. read more

I had an amazing facial in their Peddlers village location with NiNi. She pampers you as well as provides a great facial, cleansing and brightening. The spa is also very beautiful.

My family has been coming here for 12 years, and we've always had Kristy as our hairdresser and we LOVE her. David Witchell has such a unique interior, with a ton of products, and a huge clothing selection. They offer a ton of different spa and hair services. Kristy has been wonderful and has always done an amazing job with all of our hair, and I love chatting with her for hours. She's so experienced and knowledgeable, I won't trust anyone else. Since I come in from out of town and only have a certain number of days, they always work with me to get me in! I always get my eyebrows done here and Casey is fabulous. Always impressed with what she can do! If you need a new salon, or you're in the area, I wouldn't recommend anywhere else. read more

Would have liked to try the salon/spa but leaving a prospective client on the phone for 10 minutes is a sign that they aren't the place for me. read more

I have been going to DJW for over 18 years and I absolutely LOVE my stylist Colleen She understands me and gives me great advice on my hair. Even when I try to go back to the 80's she keeps me in check. She's my confidant, my therapist and im proud to call her a fiend The staff is wonderful and accommodating. I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Great experience with Ronnie. She listened to exactly what I wanted and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was still liking it. Stayed late to make sure it was perfect when I asked for little tweaks. Everyone I spoke with when I made the appointment and when I checked in was super nice as well. Would definitely recommend / return. read more

I've been going to David Witchell's for over 15 years. I have used them for hair and makeup and I honestly always walk out feeling like a celebrity. I've had great experiences with most of the stylists there. However, Ashley has become my absolute favorite. She listens to you, genuinely cares, and delivers. I have naturally very dark hair and she has transformed me into an icy blonde with dimension - exactly what I wanted. She does balayage so it still looks great even when it starts to grow out. She does a great cut too and added volume to my hair. She has also taught me how to take care of my blonde so that it will last. Oh and she's so sweet - I can't recommend Ashley enough! read more

I've been going to David Witchell for 20 years and have always been thrilled with the service and results. Although I was a little nervous returning today with Covid-19 still an issue, I relaxed as soon as I got to the door and saw how much thought and consideration has clearly gone into safely reopening the salon. There was a thorough evaluation and sanitizing before entering the salon, well spaced stations, clear partitions between hair washing sinks and simplified check out. The entire salon was spotless and the staff was friendly and welcoming. It was great to be back! read more

I have been getting so frustrated with my constantly breaking, frizzy, hair. My sister bought me a gift card for David Witchell salon to get a keratin treatment. I had one in the past (about 10 years ago) and liked the results, but never kept up with it because of the price and felt that it didn't last long enough to justify it. Last week I went in to use my gift card and get a new keratin treatment - yay! I was met with Brett who brought me to another area of the spa for the treatment. He was very friendly and professional. The whole experience took about an a hour and a half, which was about half as long as I was expecting. I tried to keep my hair straight, dry, and without any pony tails or kinks for 48 hours. I did work out twice in that time and my hair got a little sweaty, but I immediately blow dried and straightened it afterwards. I then showered and washed the treatment out with sulfate free shampoo. It's been about a week and so far the results are great. My hair air dries looking the way it usually looks after product, blow dyer, and straightener. It is awesome to be able to get out of the shower and not do a single thing to my hair and have it dry the way it normally does after styling. I can't speak to how long it will last, but maybe I will update when I notice that the treatment has faded. I highly recommend this salon! It is also very nice inside. read more

Eric gave me the best haircut of my life! First it started with a consultation which was phenomenal--including my hair style type, my potential for different varieties, the kinds of shampoo I should use (as well as hair gel & hairspray)--basically everything I needed to look great. Then he proceeded to give me a fantastic cut and a plan for future cuts and styled my hair to perfection. Incredible conversationalist as well--definitely a great salon and an outstanding hair stylist par excellence! read more

Such a welcoming, warm and beautiful place to get my hair done. The salon is extra clean and all the staff are taking the necessary precautions to make sure you are safe and stay healthy.

She always gives me the perfect shade of blonde that no one else can. read more

I have been visiting David witchell salon for almost 20 years My go to hair stylist is Gina; She is an excellent stylist and colorist. In addition to her skills, she consistently makes the experience the best because of her warm, friendly and most importantly funny personality. I also frequent the salon on a weekly basis to get blow outs. After having two children my hair is has become impossible to blow dry on my own and have it look normal. With a pretty crazy schedule, working full time and two small kids, I often call in 20 mins prior and they always have someone for available for the blow out service. My recent blow dry stylist favorites have been Cheri, essence and Brynn The spa is another place that outshines its competition. The facials, microdermabrasion and peels are excellent. Cally is a magic worker; she made my dull blotchy skin come back to life; she also helped with my daily home regime that made a significant positive impact on my skin. Lastly, one of the most important highlights is that David witchell staff are continuously involved in ongoing education from vendors and stylist to stay informed and skilled in current product and trends. This is your place, not only for bucks residents but for anyone in the surrounding areas it's worth the drive. read more

Inconsistent. Marilyn is the best for color I have ever had, and I have been to top NYC salons. The make up experience was in a word BIZZARE. The lighting is such that the makeup artist takes you to the store front window to see the results at the end but on a rainy day the lighting is still dark. This means she puts your makeup on in poor lighting!! Worse yet she basically slapped Make-up on me without asking me one single question. Did I want a natural look, any feature accentuated, any color preferences or dislikes? She kept saying "this is great make up for pictures" as if that was my goal. It all happened so quickly that I couldn't catch my breathe to get a dialogue going, and when I got to my car and looked a lighted mirror I wanted to scream! Or laugh, it felt like Happy Halloween, rather than anything I would ever wear for my wedding. i cancelled my kiwedding make up and did not think dialogue would help at that point either because on a scale of 1 to 10 the results were a zero. I will go back to David Witchell for Marilyn always....unless i have to hide my face from the make up gang. But they probably won't recognize me anyway because i dont think she looked at me before she started slapping on that goopy stuff. BIZARRE read more

I have been coming to this salon on and off for 17 years but may be done after my experience yesterday. I booked an appointment for a blowout since I was going to a wedding. I brought photos of a pretty simple style, basic lob (which I have) with some beachy waves. After the stylist dried my hair she looked completely perplexed in how to proceed from there. I had kind of expected some curling product and a diffuser since I have wavy hair already. But the blowout had straightened it. She said "should we put some curls in?" And I said "Sure, whatever you think." In the end, my beachy waves were more like Orphan Annie but I needed to get out of there and I figured I would just fix it at home. At checkout the charge was nearly double what was quoted "because she used a curling iron." Are you kidding me? First, this is ridiculous. A blowout and style should use whatever tools are needed to achieve the desired style. Second, shouldn't she have maybe said, "Should we put in some curls? By the way, they will be an extra $30!" After a lot of back and forth they reluctantly removed the $30 curling charge. I promptly went home, wet my hair and styled it myself. $35 down the drain. UPDATE: After this review posted, I was contacted by the owner himself, who apologized profusely and said this never should have happened. He offered me a complimentary service and recommended a stylist. I took him up on the offer several weeks later and was very pleased with the results. So, I'm chalking up my bad experience as an isolated event and will give them the benefit of the doubt. read more
