Awesome hairstyle, great people. This place is BEAUTIFUL inside. It is a hidden gem in the Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center. It is tucked in next to Carter's and you might pass it if you aren't looking for it. You can see their sign from City Ave, and that is what caught my eye, I've been thinking about checking it out and am so glad that I finally did. They are new to the main line, but I expect word of mouth will soon start to send more people their way. They have a very unique setup. You walk in and can take the elevator or the stairs to the 2nd floor. Check in with the receptionist, which is quick and easy. They told my stylist I was there and she came out and greeted me and brought me back to her suite/room. This is the best part, you get your stylist to yourself. I will take a step back, when I called in, the person who took my appointment asked me a few questions and put me with the stylist she thought would fit my personality and needs best - she got it right! I wanted a one-on-one experience and asked for that, so she made sure to put me with a stylist who doesn't overlap appointments. It was wonderful, I could relax and as a busy mom, it isn't often that I get me-time. Well this is where I can go to escape my loving family and the craziness of soccer and basketball and baseball - and just have something for myself. If you are a busy mom who needs to escape into solitude, you need to check this place out! LOVE my hair, it has curls that don't always listen to what I want and my stylist Jules was able to tame them and get them to go the way I want. She spent lots of time listening to me and what I was looking for. Can't say enough nice things about this place. My only regret is that I didn't stop in sooner. Totally recommend Phenix Salons! read more

My visit to Phenix Salon in Bala Cynwyd was such a wonderful experience. I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect when I got off the elevator and saw the reception area but didn't see a room full of stylists. It was very clean, neat, relaxing with this lovely waterfall. I was greeted with friendly smiles by the staff and other clients as well. It was just a happy, friendly place and I felt at ease immediately. I was quickly brought to a private salon where I met my lovely stylist who took time to make me comfortable and asked me what I wanted. I felt like a queen for the day, I was the only one in the room with my stylist and we had the best time. We talked about so many things, and I didn't have to worry about who could overhear because it was just the two of us (happy face!) My stylist did such a fantastic job with my unrully hair. A beautiful haircut followed with a mixer of a blowout with loose beachy waves. I had so much fun, I cannot wait for my next appointment. Thank you Phenix for a wonderful experience. read more

I have found a gem on the main line. Phenix Salons is everything you would expect and more. I am new to the area and I was lucky enough to see their new client offer and decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. The prices are better than I expected, the atmosphere is quiet and classy. When I was there the owner Antonela was talking to a local artist about hanging her artwork in the salon, and I thought how beautiful would that be? There was a welcoming feel about the place, lots of smiles and then I got my haircut. OMG, they have private suites. I got to have my stylist all to myself! They do hair, facials, makeup, nails and they even have a package where you can come and get a picture too. I digress, my stylist Jules is very patient and kind. She spends lots of time talking with me and getting to know me and making sure it was what I wanted. Strongly recommend this place! read more

This place is INCREDIBLE! I cannot stress enough how wonderful they are. They do fun events, and I took advantage of a photo shoot they were doing. I went in to get my hair done and they had professional photographers who took beautiful pictures. I am a business owner and know how much you have to pay to get professional headshots, they definitely invest in their clients as I didn't have to pay a sitting fee, I only paid if I wanted to buy my own headshots. I was able to get gorgeous headshots for my social media and business cards. Seriously, for the price of getting my hair done (which I was doing anyway) and then a nominal fee for the photos it was practically fee. They also have a makeup artist so you could get your hair and makeup done AND get your pictures. LOVE the quite elegance at everyday prices. Can't gush more about how wonderful they are. read more

I always leave Phenix in a great mood. My hair is impeccable, and my stylist is always warm and inviting. I get my hair colored, and anyone who does knows how hard it is to get a great haircolor. So when people comment about your hair, especially men, well... Le't just say, I won't be going anywhere else to get my hair done. So many of the reviews, you have to find them because they are hidden, talk about the private rooms, these are mini salons and it creates such an intimate environment. All the privacy you need. I just read a review where the woman said she felt like a queen, and that sums it up. Definitely a place for busy women to come to get away from everything and spend a little time on yourself. P.S. I don't understand why there aren't any new reviews visible... This place AWESOME! Don't miss out on an opportunity to get your hair done here. read more

This place is phenomenal! Phenix Salons is a quality salon that makes me forget all the other salons I've been to. I can be a bit picky about my hair. I came in with a specific hair cut and color in mind... Yes, I am that person and I am so appreciative because I know from experience how hard it is to match the picture. I was pleasantly surprised when my colorist Jules called me at home to talk about what I was looking for. Normally, this type of request would require two appointments, but because she called me at home we were able to work out a lot of the details and do this in one appointment. I SOOOOOOO appreciate that. Everyone was so welcoming, I truly felt like a guest! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the private suites! So welcoming. I have found my new salon. Can't wait for my next appointment and try out some of their other services - maybe a facial? Yay! read more

I had a great experience at Phenix Salons. My stylist took the time to talk to me and ask ME what I wanted, instead of deciding for me. My wife comes here and always raves about her stylist. I usually go to the barber, but wasn't happy, so I was open to a change when my wife suggested it. I'm glad I came, the private suite was relaxing and I didn't feel rushed. And my wife said she loved my hair, and she is never wrong, lol. The staff was attentive and greeted me with a smile. The door is tucked into a corner between Carter's and Michaels, lots of parking, which makes this place an even better deal. No more paying for parking! The salon itself is clean and inviting. The water feature is relaxing and the team is great. I will definitely come back. read more

You won't find a better salon on the mainline. Phenix has beautiful people working there and the place is beautiful. I am from the area, and travel for my job so I have seen salon suites in other states, but this is the first time in Pennsylvania. I am SOOOOO happy that I found this place. Love the private suites! There is nothing better than being able to have a nice quiet conversation with your stylist. I was flying out of town and my stylist met me at 6:00 am so I could get my hair done and make it to the airport in time for my flight!!!!! I cannot say anything but nice things about this place! They went out of their way to make sure that I was cared for. Who does that anymore? Phenix Salons that's who. Definitely recommend this place! read more

My regular stylist cancelled on me at the last minute and I HAD to get my hair done because I had a family party to go to and I couldn't go with grays (you know the joys of getting older) In a panic, I called my girlfriend (because what else would you do) and she said "Call Phenix" so, I picked up the phone and called, and now I have a new salon :-) My hair is no longer gray and it is so shiny and my curls are so pretty and bouncy. Who knew that this gem was here, my friend of course (and she will never let me forget it). I am telling anyone who asks about this place because I have never been to a prettier salon or one that was this welcoming. There are not enough adjectives for the wonderful experience I had. A true slice of heaven :-) read more

I have been so pleased with Phenix, I can say that everyone is so friendly. I was talking to the owner and didn't even realize it until my stylist told me. It is so refreshing to come to a salon in the Philadelphia area that is CLEAN and FRIENDLY. When you come in, it looks like an upscale salon but the people treat you like you have known them forever and you don't get that snobby atmosphere or prices. BEAUTIFUL environment! My stylist was very professional and I look forward to my next appointment. I've been going to her for some time now and I can't see going anywhere else. I love the way she treats me and my hair. Definitely a great salon. LOVE IT!!!! read more

This is what I've been waiting for!! This salon has it all, hair, make-up, facials, nails....But the best part is Anna Maria's facials! I have been following her around for years from salon to salon, THATS HOW GOOD SHE IS! But having her at Phenix has been the best move yet! She has everything you could ever want in a facial, peels, microdermabrasion, healthy products & her suite is so cozy & relaxing. It's like having a facial at home! Please give Phenix a try, all private suites means you don't hear others talking, each suite plays it own music, decorates it own way...THIS IS HOW ITS MEANT TO BE! Ask for AnnaMaria DiPilla!!!! read more

I keep telling my friends what a beautiful experience I have every time I come to Phenix. The front desk always greets me with a friendly smile and the water fall makes me feel so relaxed. The one thing I can get here that I cannot get at other Salons is the private, one on one time with my stylist. I can share anything with her and know that no big ears are listening to what I am saying. People ALWAYS say such complimentary things about my hair. We have so many choices and I can get my hair and nails done by n one place. LOVE it here!!!! You have to check it out read more

My mom came to visit and needed to get her hair cut for our family reunion picture and we went in as a walk-in and were able to get into see a stylist. This was our first time, but it won't be my last. The place is beautiful inside, very clean and well kept. I had never been to a salon like this before. Everyone had a room to themselves, which made it very quiet. My mom raved about how much she loved her hair and how nice everyone treated her. I loved her hair, she came with pictures and they were able to get her hair to look like the pixie cut in the picture. read more

I love Phenix Salons. I was given a tour of this awesome hair salon and could not get it out of my mind. Everyone that I met was so friendly and the tour was phenomenal. I decided to go for it, and told the receptionist what I was looking for (I opted for a one-on-one experience) and that is exactly what I got. I have my new go-to place to get my hair done because there is no place I can go that can compare to the quiet and the special me-time that made me feeo so special and appreciated. LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! You have to give it a try :-) read more

I had an amazing experience at this salon !!! I usually do my own hair but I wasn't feeling well so my best friend referred me to this salon where she knew I could relax ! They have private suites where I could sit back and enjoy the peaceful environment . To top this experience off , my hairdresser was AMAZING ! Reese was vibrant , polite and gave me great tips on how to keep up with my hair growth process ! Like I said earlier in this review , I do my own hair but after having Reese, I want to get my hair done all the time !!!! read more

I LOVE it at Phenix. What can I say? This place is more than you can imagine. have a great time and the privacy is the reason I come back. If you are looking for friendly people and a place to come where it is just you and you can leave all your worries behind, then this is the place for you. I always see such beautiful hairstyles and love that my stylist does what I want, maybe one day I will try something new. For those who are new here, come when there is someone at the front desk so they can help you find a a read more

I love this place! Phenix is a lovely salon like no other. I got such a lovely cut an color that people are still commenting on. Cannot believe there is a salon with private rooms they call suites. This means that I get to have my stylist all to myself and that there are no unwanted ears listening to our conversations. Ladies, leave your family and especially the kids at home and enjoy a nice time with your stylist with no interruptions. You will love it too. read more

Julia Sanders practices her craft at Phenix Salon. She has been my stylist for over 15 years. Julia takes the time to talk to you about your desired look and she's honest and knows what works with your hair. I'm so proud of her because she doesn't settle for easy. Julia is a master stylist and recently trained in Los Angeles and New York. She can do it all! I highly recommend Julia Sanders at Phenix Salon for making you look and feel beautiful! read more

Came in for a hair cut because I was in the Philadelphia area on business. The service and hair cut were both awesome. My stylist had relaxing music playing and was very friendly. Had tons of laughs. Wasn't what I was expecting, just needing a hair cut, but it was a really satisfying experience. And I made the sale that I was in town to make!!! Was it the Phenix experience? Who knows but I can't argue with the results. ;-) read more
