I've been seeing Debra for a while now thanks to a recommendation from a friend. I trust Debra to…read moredo what she wants because I know that no matter what she will make it look good. The salon itself is super clean. I am always welcomed warmly by everyone and getting my hair cut/colored is super relaxing. I also travel about an hour to get my hair done every three months. It's worth everything

It was my first time at La Belle Vie so let's start with the basics:…read more Aesthetic -- Really gorgeous salon! The plaza it's in honestly doesn't do the salon justice, but don't let that fool you. The space is chic yet timeless and the decorator did a really great job designing the space. Everything is super functional yet pretty and comfortable. Environment -- I always like to talk everyone's ear off when I'm stuck in the chair for an hour at a time. From the receptionist to the stylists, everyone working in this salon was super friendly and professional. There were complimentary snacks and beverages, the bathrooms were large and clean, as was the waxing room. Service -- As you'll see in my photo, my hair needed a serious upgrade. I went to see Joanna who is truly a master stylist. I don't trust anyone else to color my hair. Badly damaged with roots 4" long, I walked in struggling. I left absolutely glowing! She used her skills to turn my sad, neglected mane into fabulous and healthy hair. An Asian girl with blonde hair is no easy feat but she always pulls it off. If you're craving a color change, please go see her; from subtle to drastic and everywhere in between, she is an adept stylist with a master's knowledge of color, chemistry and end-result. Price -- It was $190 for the color, cut, wash and eyebrow wax and worth every penny. I'm honestly not the greatest judge though...You get what you pay for and I don't take any chances with my hair! The salon products are also reasonably priced and they have a wide selection of take-home hair care. TL;DR: If you're craving a change, go see Joanna! If you're in the area, check out this salon. You won't be disappointed with what you find here.

Tara is absolutely wonderful! I typically get my curtain bang layers trimmed to mid-cheek and…read morelayers every 3-4 months. For $50, the service includes wash, haircut, and blowout of my longer hair, which is an absolute steal in comparison to some of the other salons. Parking is street parking only, but one hour is only 25 cents so very affordable. I recommend booking online in advance since Tara does seem to get booked up quickly. Absolutely recommend Tara and this salon for haircuts and blowouts.

Prices are extremely reasonable, so I wish I could continue to use this salon. However, since I…read morewent there to cover my sporadic grays and they were still visible after my service, I will not be back. It was my first time ever dying my hair and this salon had great reviews and the prices were fair. I did not notice that my grays were not covered until I got home. It's now a month later and what was supposed to be permanent hair dye seems to have completely washed out. My hair looks exactly the same as it did before going there. It's not just the "grown out" hair. It's grays the entire length of my hair that are back. I know that I should have went back and had them redo it, but due to anxiety (& the fact that the girls that worked there were not rude, but definitely not friendly), I couldn't bring myself to go complain. Ultimately, it would be very uncomfortable for me to go back and have them fix it after telling them that the first job was completely sub par. However, as a girl on a budget who cannot afford to have a different salon redo my hair for a while, I felt the need to let others know not to waste their money. Take it from me, who is walking around with all of my original grays that I paid to have dyed only a month ago.

She is very attentive to my comfort level through little things such as making sure water doesn't get in my ears and checking in with me to make sure she is not causing any pain when using heat tools in my hair. She is a wealth of knowledge and has given me recommendations for hair products, suggestions for hair color options that compliment my skin tone, and advice on hair care for my curly 3C hair. She is so compassionate and engaging through conversation, that when I look up in the mirror, my hair is already exquisitely done. I always walk away feeling confident and excited to come back!

I can't say enough about this place. I walked in cold and the owner ask how could she help me. I…read moresaid I was over due for color and cut. She immediately called in Jess. She took me to her station and consulted with me in length. She was able to do my hair then and it is beautiful. If I lived in the area I would definitely be back. Very friendly and clean salon. Very compassionate people.

I came to Salon Salon over the summer when I absolutely needed a haircut before I had to get a…read moreprofessional picture taken. They were super easy to schedule with and were able to get me in the next day. Regarding COVID protocols - when I came to get my hair cut, they took my temperature, everyone was wearing masks, and there was sufficient spacing between all of us in the salon. Overall, my haircut was fine! My hair was especially unruly because it had been so long since I had gotten it cut, but my stylist was able to get it back under control and give me a nice blowout. Was it the best haircut I had ever received? Probably not. But it was a nice, safe option to get my hair taken care of during COVID, with a super friendly staff. They also had a new client discount and also have student discounts. The haircut was a good and reasonably priced overall. Definitely worth a look if you're trying to get your hair cut in Center City during these "unprecedented" times.

It is thick and heavy and Chris has done miracle on it. She always provided me with an awesome cut and color that I constantly receive compliments from strangers and friends. She mixes the perfect color that suits my hair for highlights. Since I became a new mom, she understands the changes that occurs with my hair before and after the baby. She gave me the perfect style and color, using organic color products, when I was pregnant.

I showed her several photos of her own work for inspiration and explained that I wanted something natural and subtle with light brown tones. Unfortunately, the result was about 75% harsh blonde -- the opposite of what I'd asked for. To her credit, Noelle was kind and acknowledged it didn't resemble the photos I'd shown. She tried to fix it, but the correction left dark roots with an abrupt, ashy transition where the blonde began. Her kindness was a 10/10, but the skill and attention to detail just weren't there.
