I was looking for a place that can help me with my curly hair that recently was not healthy and didn't look good. I found recommendations on Yelp for Personal Expressions and decided to take my chances as they are in my town and within walking distance from my home. I was schedule with Christina, and she was professional and friendly. Christina explained me every step of the process and and how it would be better to treat my hair at home on daily base. I loved my hair after all the work she has done and I will definitely will go back. Recommended! read more

This place really screwed my daughter's hair up. Mostly just the owners inability to color properly not cut. After taking her someplace else and getting feedback from other colorists it's clear she just didn't know what she was doing. Try someplace else. read more

Came in initally for a color correction consultation that went well. Because there was not enough product to go through with the whole process at the time, we decided to at least trim my ends. We agreed to cut ONLY 2 inches of hair. I came into the salon with 20 inches of hair, now I have 12. It was supposed to be "even" but I was left lopsided and significantly shorter. The products used on my hair left my hair extremely dry and dull. Not to mention that there was a roach that crawled up the wall and onto the hair station where I was seated. I returned to the salon the day after and requested a refund. Was never given an apology, my complaints brushed off. I was told that they "should" be able to refund me and the manager would be in contact. 4 days later, I haven't received a call, they have not answered their phone. read more

I came to this salon because I liked that they offered nontoxic hair color. This review is not to bash but to speak to MY experience with this salon. I had a consultation with Jessie about coloring my hair and when she asked what my ultimate goal was it was to maintain the health of my hair as well as my curls. When we discussed color she stated she would be using 20 volume for the color I chose for the roots and 10 volume for the ends. There was never any mention of BLEACH. In all my history of getting hair color when bleach is used the stylist basically gets consent and makes sure there's an understanding it's being used, as it can be damaging especially for my hair type. When I came for the actual appointment she then stated she would be using 30 volume and 10 for the bottom. Still no mention of BLEACH to my ALREADY LIGHT HAIR. When I came into this salon I had a FULL , BEAUTIFUL, THICK AFRO. When Jessie was basically done the highlights of my hair I realized she was using bleach. I had asked her about it and stated I didn't know she was going to be using this. She stated the bleach they use isn't as harsh as it only swells the hair shaft and doesn't "burst" it open like other bleaches. This still bothered me as I would have NEVER AGREED to bleach, but at this point she's damn near done. When I got my hair blow dried it was decent enough to leave the salon but my roots and edges were still puffy so I did have to go home and style it myself. As much as I paid I shouldn't have had to leave and fix my hair. I do understand I have textured hair and not everyone knows how to style this hair type. The hair color did come out pretty but it was lighter than I wanted. Jessie was agreeable to color it darker at a later date, but once I washed my hair and saw how much was coming out, I opted out of doing anything else to it. This was the start of my hair being completely ruined. My hair continued to fall out / shed ridiculously. I went to a stylist who specializes in my texture and she was perplexed on why bleach was used and why it was in my hair for as long as it was (at least 20 minutes) everywhere where Jessie put the highlights my hair was broken off or thinned. Completely RUINED. While the salon did try to work with me to find a resolution nothing can change the fact that I had to chop all my hair off. That was the only solution to irreversible damage that was caused. Jessie tried to say I came in with damaged hair which is not true! They also stated some textures don't respond well to the color. Excuses and little accountability. If this is the case why not do your due diligence as a stylist and do a strand test ? If my hair was supposedly damaged why agree to color it and damage it more ? My hair was just fine before I came in there. The stylist I regularly go to can speak to the health of my hair prior to all of this and she is just as upset as I am they ruined my hair. Nice beautiful curls and FULL hair. It is now thinned , curls are completely loose and straight. Just ruined. Everyone in the salon is nice and welcoming and I do appreciate that they tried to find a resolution but I'm completely traumatized at this experience and the fact that I have to " start over" by cutting my hair off. The mark was totally missed here. read more

I was a regular client of Rebekah's at personal expressions. She always listened to what I wanted, took the time to perfect my hair, and style it. I always left the salon feeling happy with my haircut. But this time I made the unfortunate mistake of scheduling a haircut with Metta because Rebekah has been taking some time off. I confirmed several times that Metta was experienced in cutting textured hair ( I am biracial) and was assured that she was. They even told me that she did most of the haircuts featured on their Instagram page. All I wanted was a trim, not a style with layers or anything like that. Just a trim. Metta carelessly cut my hair in about half the time Rebekah normally took to do it. It was clear she wasn't putting as much thought into it. And when it came time to wash and style my hair, she passed me off to the hairdresser that was still in training. The hairdresser did a terrible job of styling my hair, not using nearly enough product for it. But I don't blame her, because she is just learning and was under Metta's instruction. Metta didn't even have the patience to wait for my hair to dry completely before she started cutting it again, making "corrections." Rebekah would always wait for as long as it took my hair to dry completely before she touched my hair with scissors. The end result was a choppy, uneven haircut that I paid $85 for. Not to mention my hair was poofy and looked ridiculous from the poor styling job. Metta knew she screwed up, and offered for me to come back if I washed and styled it on my own and still didn't like it. I walked out of the salon and immediately put my hair into a bun because it looked terrible! I was so embarrassed and saddened that I had spent so much money to look so ridiculous. If Rebekah is not returning to the salon (which is what Metta told me), I will definitely not be coming back here for a haircut. I am beginning to think these curly cuts are overrated. I can't wait for my hair to grow out so I can just get it trimmed straightened and be done with this mess read more

Had a transformation done which I cut a lot of my hair off and added baliage coloring. Loved how it came out! read more

Took my 5 year old curly girl here for her very first hair cut and we had an amazing experience. My daughter's hair is down her back and I was nervous that any salon would cut it to short or not take their time to listen to what I wanted. Nicole B was incredible and walked us through the process with ease. She took her time with my daughter and gave me a few lessons in how to care for her hair at home. Thank you so much Nicole! We will be back in the future. 10/10 would recommend!! read more

Went here this past Wednesday for an afternoon appointment with Metta. It's a cute little salon known for its organic products and Deva styling. Metta was super friendly and gave my hair some much needed TLC. I got my first Deva cut. I chopped off a good amount of hair (see pics below). I left with my hair feeling/looking so hydrated and it felt significantly less frizzy. I tried replicating it today, and unfortunately wasn't able to get the smooth finish Metta was able to achieve on Wednesday. Price was reasonable considering other nearby Deva salons and their prices. read more

Can we talk about how amazing Metta is!?! I have been on the hunt for a hair salon for years. I have thick curly hair and I am one of those that only gets a hair cut 2-3 times a year.. so when I do, it has to be good! Personal Expressions specializes in curly hair, but what does that even mean? Well--- having someone cut your hair with similar style and texture is KEY. Also, they cut your hair while it is dry so that your natural curl is taken into account during the cutting/styling process. It has been YEARS since I've walked out of a salon with a cut that lays perfectly and with angles/framing that compliments my face. But here is the kicker-- they will also give you a run down of a clipping technique to give your curls the body it needs at your hair part. I had no idea this was a thing until Metta and her assistant gave me a wash and prep. It has been a couple weeks trying out this new routine and it is GOLD! You don't have to do this, but it really is eye opening to get a "salon look" at home with little effort. I cannot recommend Metta and her team more! It'll take a few weeks to book an appointment with her, but it is worth it! read more

Had a wonderful experience at Personal Expressions with Christina over the weekend. I have naturally curly hair, and always struggle to find a salon/stylist that's a good fit. Christina was friendly and polite without being too chatty and I left the salon very happy with my haircut. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and made adjustments post cut despite having to juggle multiple customers. She also explained all the products she was using on my hair and did not push any of them on me. The salon itself is neat and has a friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommend the place! read more

I am so sad that I have to write this review but i have no choice. I have been taking my daughter to this salon for a few years. She has had several cuts by different stylists. I was always extremely happy with the cut she received. The owner Mary anne, Diane and heather have all cut her hair and it looked fabulous. Unfortunately, the last visit back in September was a complete disaster. When we arrived for her appointment I realized that she had Christine who we never had. Because all of the stylists are deva trained I felt safe. I was wrong. My daughter got the absolute worst hair cut. She took a ton of length off and it was completely uneven. I am shocked that someone with a trained eye could allow you to leave looking like that. It was so incredibly uneven and there was no shape. It was far from a deva cut. It was a disaster cut. It has been almost 4 months and it is growing out in a triangular shape. My daughter is in middle school. The other day she was in tears. It breaks my heart. I'm writing this review so that you are careful with who you make an appointment with. As I said before, the other girls were all good. But I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Christine. Her work is mediocre at best. I think she could use some further training. If this review saves one person from getting a nightmare haircut than it was worth the time it took writing it. I am giving the salon 3 stars because the other stylists do nice work. read more

The head is Deva trained, so all you struggling thick, curly haired friends should probably head over and check it out. I also say thick because, well, my stylist (I believe the owner) couldn't really do much with my medium, fine curly hair (2b/2c) hair because she said it was too thin... I was sad to hear the news. I paid an above average price for a hair cut that was kind of boring. I think expanding their technique/knowledge reservoir would do some good. I'm not at all bashing, for I think the Deva method and products work wonderfully for some people, but my hair didn't really dig. I've since moved salons and get my hair cut by people who have studied curly hair differently, but have recommended the place to a couple friends. read more

I wanted to bring my curls back and i knew i was doing it all.wrong. i have heard of deva products so when i saw a solon in my area the specialized in curly hair inwanted to try. It is a cute small salin and everyone was friendly. Metta did my haor and educated me on how to do my curly hair. She really paid attention to how my curls laid before choosing products. When she was done i was shocked at how curly my hair was and soft not hard and crunchy. Metta gave me a how to so i can do it at home and said to call her anytime with questions. I never buy products at a salon but i bought everything they used on my hair. I have had no trouble duplicating my hair at home. I waited a bit to post a review to see how my curls looked at home done by me. If you have curly hair give this salon a try. read more

Amazing! Absolutely love love love the cut I got, the knowledge i left with and the whole entire experience. Rebekah is just perfect! Cant wait to go back read more

Omg you guys are awesome . Got curly hair ? These gals know how to take care of it ! They Use an organic line of color which is amazing ! I usually go at night after work so parking is never an issue for me even during the holidays . They actually teach you how to style it so you can go home and try . read more

I will begin by admitting i am not one of those people who get a new haircut every 6 weeks likes suggested. I wish i was, wish i had the time to, but in reality i don't. It's really important for me to get a great cut that will grow out nice with my hair. The ladies at Personal Expressions do an an amazing job every time! I usually see Diane, but all of the stylists there are great! I have naturally wavy/curly hair. A few years ago they introduced me to Deva products and it seriously changed the way i style my hair everyday. I won't use anything but Deva products now and my hair thanks me! So much healthier! I just tried a split end treatment and my hair feels amazing! I can't stop running my fingers through my hair. I 100% suggest Personal expressions! read more

I had a wonderful experience today with Christine, Deva Cut stylist, she introduced me to all the great Deva Products and gave me my first Deva cut, my hair feels and looks great and now I can incorporate all the lessons learned today on a daily basis. I will be returning often so not to lose the shape of my great cut. I am truly pleased and will be recommending this shop and all the stylists here to all my curly sisters! Thanks again Christine! read more

I had Rebecca and she was very rude and messed up my hair!! I would recommend not going to her at all! She died my hair without telling me and said it was a toner but it wasn't and when I asked for pintura highlights she didn't do it and did something else. My hair is 3 different colors and I would just really recommend going somewhere else. The only other thing I can say is she didn't a pretty good hair cut read more

When I moved to NYC and discovered Devachan Salon, I finally had found a place that knew what to do with my curls, and made them look amazing! No more hair scrunchies needed after leaving the salon. So once I moved away from NYC, I have been hopping around salon to salon trying to find someone who could make me feel great just as Devachan once did. It took 2 years, but my search has ended. Heather took the time to listen to what I wanted, plan the best way to achieve the look, and took pride in her job. (Even 3 hours later with my hair resisting the colors, just to get the colors right). I have gotten so many compliments on my hair and love it every time I look in the mirror. Thank you heather for the excellent work! read more

Love this salon!!! Not at all pretentious like a lot of other salons. If you have curly hair, you have to try it!! Very reasonable priced, clean, peaceful and you'll never want to get your hair cut anywhere else again. read more

Love going to Jesse. She is wonderful at coloring and cutting my hair. Makes me look and feel great

This isn't just your typical hair salon where your shoved in and out in twenty minutes. My stylist was Heather and she was very courteous and interested in how I wanted my hair done. The pricing was excellent for the quality hair style I was given, and the salon was clean and neat. I can see from my experience here that the stylists and owner really care about the customers. Will be coming back here for sure. read more

I have found my new salon!!!! The deva cut and product line is so worth it and heather is a miracle worker. There is nothing like transforming your hair at 38 years old and finally getting the head of hair you've always dreamed of. I felt so comfortable with my stylist and honestly look forward to going back for my next cut read more

Christina did an amazing job on both of my daughter's cuts. The salon is bright and friendly with a happy, welcoming atmosphere. I saw clients from very young, to adults, with straight, curly, and in between textures all getting different cuts and styles, everyone looked happy with their hair. To update my review, today I returned to the salon and Metta was my stylist. Can I double the stars? She was amazing, friendly, and my hair came out perfectly. She cut a very cutie pixie for me. Thank you! read more

Clean, cozy, and friendly atmosphere were my first impressions of this salon. Knowledgable and personable beauticians with talent. All with very diverse experience in hair styles and types. Typically, I dread getting my hair cut. At this salon, it's exciting and refreshing and relieving to get a cut - your hair looks THAT much better! I live about a half hour away and it is worth the drive every time. I would recommend this to friends, family, strangers. Give it a try, you will be sure to come again. read more

Personal Expressions is a cute little salon in Haddonfield...very friendly staff!! My stylist is Metta. She always listens to exactly what I want and I trust her so much that she also cuts my 3 daughters' hair. She has been cutting my hair for a couple of years now and I won't go to anyone else! read more

Really like this place! They use natural hair color products and the salon has a comfortable vibe.

Way overpriced.. I walked in wanting to start the process to get my hair blonder ( which I know is a process being as I have done it before) the stylist suggested I do highlights instead to get my hair as blonde as possible. Also said I wanted to trim my ends but made it clear I did not want short hair. Was there from 10.30am-2pm and my hair came out silver and orange and my cut was way way too short. Then I was charged almost $300. I did like the way my curls came out but that's about it. Definitely will not be returning. Don't really think this is a salon that specializes in color. Also the price for something I did not want is ridiculous. Never again read more

This was my first time at this salon, but not my first time with a Deva cut. I was looking for a local salon that could handle curly hair rather than just want to blow it out and look at me like I was crazy when I said I love my curly hair. I made an appointment request online for cut and color and was called within half hour to schedule. When I arrived, I found out the color didn't get scheduled, but it wasn't a problem, my stylist could do it. The cut is great, the color is beautiful, very good overall experience. The stylist took the time to figure out a color that works for me, gave me advice on the cut and product. read more

Rebekah did a wonderful job cutting and styling my hair. For years, I fought against the curly texture of my hair but I can finally wear it curly and love the way it looks! She took her time explaining every step of the styling process and how I can replicate the process at home. I highly recommend this salon to any curly-haired person who wants to "go natural" or to anyone who wants a good haircut and style. read more

I've had a lot of bad haircuts in my life - even ones that cost over $100 - so I was super gun-shy when I found Personal Expressions on naturallycurly.com. But they were so well reviewed and so reasonably priced that I took a chance. That was over 2 years ago, and I've never looked back. My hair looks fantastic and my curls are in the best shape of my life! I see Heather, but I would literally trust anyone there, because they are careful to only have specially trained stylists, and I feel like part of a family going there. If you want to see what they're capable of, go to their Facebook page and look at the before and after pictures. These women are amazing. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this salon! I have been struggling with my curly hair for over 50 years. Have tried thousands of products and numerous stylists. No more! Now I have found my forever match. This was my 3rd time to Personal Expressions and I have never been disappointed. Heather has cut and colored my hair and every time has been fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They explain how to use every product and process, so my hair looks fabulous even when I do it myself for months in between cuts. Thank you, Heather for bringing out my true Deva Curl!!! read more

I stumbled upon Personal Expressions from googling salons near me and google certainly did not disappoint. I always worry before I go to a new salon because my hair is different then most women, I have a very unique short hair cut. The top is kept longer and the sides and back are all shaved down. I made my appointment with Diane to correct a botched up hair cut and color that was previously done. Immediately upon arrival to my appointment bright and early on a saturday morning I was created by a very cheerful and up beat face at the front desk. I made myself a complimentary coffee (which I think is a great touch since its served in actual homey coffee mugs and not Styrofoam) and was greeted by my stylist Diane. I told her my previous past with different salons and stylists and how I have a horror story for a majority of them and from the beginning I felt at ease with her, she was not hesitant to ask me questions on how I wore my hair and how I liked the color. She even stopped mid hair cut and had me close my eyes and feel my hair to make sure not only did it LOOK great to me but also that it felt the way I wanted it to as well. Diane and I talked the entire appointment as if she was a long lost friend of mine making me feel completely at ease and comfortable in her care. She even amazed me and asked me questions no other stylist ever has before I had the chance to "complain" that I wanted something cut more or edgier etc, that right there shows me a stylist with not only years of experience but also genuine care for her clients and making them the happiest she can with her amazing hair talents. After some bleaching, toning and cutting I left Personal Expressions feeling like the weight had been lifted off my shoulders and looking and feeling overly happy with my hair color and cut. To add the cherry on top a few days after my appointment I received a thank you card in the mail from Diane thanking me for supporting a local business!! That to me is personable and shows great business ownership and pride! I will forever be going to Personal Expressions Hair Studio and would recommend it to everyone! read more
