Terrible hair color, it was hues of red when all I asked for was my natural brown color. Sooooo expensive and for what? It's like they didn't even listen to me and other friends of mine had the same experiences. Save your money and spend it elsewhere, this place is completely overrated. read more

I went for the first time yesterday. It was transforming. I had the best experience of my life, seriously. Usually it seems I don't get what I want, but my cut, color and style was more than I ever expected. Will be lifetime customer now. read more

Was recommended by my husband, of all people lol, who has been going to The Shop downstairs for years. Being a transplant from NYC, this place reminds me of the trendy, upscale salons and spas from back home without the hefty price tag. Brought my picky mom here and she loved the cut & color provided by Chris. Joanna is great for facials and brow-waxing. Only complaint is even with an appointment you do tend to wait for services. read more

Save your money. You always hope for a new style and when you are charged upwards of $55 you think you'll get it. But they don't deliver. And I went to 2 different stylist with no luck. Some people do get a good cut from Sakari. I wasn't so lucky. read more

My scheduled appointment was scheduled with a different stylist and Sakari made no attempt to make me aware. They kept my appointment and expected me to be fine with whoever they put me with. I thought it was extremely unprofessional for them to not even attempt to make me aware of this change to my appointment. I started going here for more than just my hair and they lost all of my business now. read more

LOVE Tina! Her massages and facials are amaaazing and she's so sweet! Recommend her to everyone. Sakari has this modern vibe and it's my favorite salon in the area read more

If you have ever had a haircut that made you wish you were a creature of the night so that no one could look upon you in the light of day... then you understand when you find a stylist you trust you are in the most committed relationship you could possibly get. I have been going to Sakari for about 2 years, and I have never let anyone but Jamie touch my hair. True, many people talk about the high price, but it's really not that bad...and when you consider the self confidence a good hairdo does, it's worth it. Here is what is so great about Jamie, and most likely the other stylists as well. Two haircuts ago, we experimented with my cut and color and I completely loved it. The touch-up after was a little off on the cut but the color was perfect. I wasn't upset that the bangs and sides weren't the same because realistically, it's impossible to do the same cut twice. Now for the part that made my day. I came back a few days later for her to fix it and she was happy to do so. Some stylists I've had in the past (not at Sakari) would roll their eyes or huff, but Jamie was happy to blend it out so that I was just happy with my cut, and I totally was. Just a great experience and even though I'm moving out of town, you can bet I'll make the drive back. read more

I have had my hair cut here several times by different stylists. I have never been unhappy with my hair. The stylists listen to what you want and do their best to make it so. If they think the picture you brought or your idea won't look good on you, they will tell you, and make suggestions as to what they think will work. I have also had a full body massage done by Mizu. It was great; very relaxing. The only problem I have is that the prices are a bit high. But what can you really expect from a "salon and spa"? If you get on their e-mail list they will send you any specials that they have going on - best to wait for one of those if you don't want to shell out $30+ per haircut and $50+ per massage. read more

I first started coming here when Vintage closed. A lot of their stylists moved to Sakari. I don't think I've had the same stylist twice. I've always seemed to go on a different night each time I made an appointment. Each one did a nice job. They did what I asked. Trim, layer, angle. There was only one time when the girl chopped off more than I expected, but I got over it. The salon is decorated in a modern and contemporary style. Reminds me of a high fashion salon you'd find in NYC, Philly, or pretty much any large city. Prices are a bit more than I'm use to paying for my standard hair cut. Then again, would you rather pay for get your hair cut consistently or go to Holiday Hair and not know what you're gonna get? read more

Speaking only for massages: but highly recommend!! Tina & Gina have been amazing! Good environment, relaxing music and essential oils used. Very good at adapting to your preferences & desired outcome of massages. Have and will be back. As far as pedicures go I would never do it again here- water was cold and honestly the polish was off almost immediately and woman during pedicure was so distracted the whole time making me feel unwelcome. read more

Went here for about a year. I kind of got the feeling you were doing them a favor being there. Staff very unwelcoming and hair design / color not worth the price tag. Would not recommend. read more

My sister and I went there for brazilians wax, and came out with patch jobs. Rachel B. is the one that did both jobs. She missed hair all over. There no excuse why there should be most if not all of the hair left on the lady lips. For the cleanup, she could have used tweezers but chose to left random hairs. Trusting her professional ''skills'' was obviously a mistake and a waste of money. Will not be going there anymore. The employees at Sakari said that she was experienced and hyped up her reputation and made her sounds amazing. So if you decide to go there and they are raving, take there advice as "half full" or as a grain of salt. Check the work before you leave and don't feel awkward about speaking up. read more

If I could give it zero stars I would!!! Terrible terrible experience. I had a bad experience with the hair salon but I chose to give it another chance with a Brazilian wax and I am so disappointed. I regret giving them another chance. I just wasted $65 dollars plus a tip for a half a** job. Don't get me wrong she had a nice personality but I would prefer to have paid for what I went there for, which was a full Brazilian. She didn't even get my bikini line all the way. There is no excuse!!! I will never tell anyone to go to this salon!!! EVER!!! I hate this place!! read more

I've been going to Sakari for a while, but I'm done with them. I've never been 100% happy with the cut or style I'd receive there, so I'd try different stylsts, sometimes after going to the same one two times in a row to give them another chance. I've tried master stylists and low level stylists. The hairstylists are great folks BUT there is too much of "I'm just an employee" vibe there. I feel like they just want to get me in the chair, give me whatever haircut they've learned to do that's easiest for them, and get me out. No matter which stylist I go to or how I tell them I like to style my hair (textured waves/blown away from my face/messy/beachy) I end up walking out of there with HELMET HAIR. I'm sorry, but I'm not a television newscaster. I don't need my hair blown in towards my face in a 1990's style blowout. It's frumpy, outdated, and not flattering on me at all. I feel like they told all their stylists that for any client with straight hair, blow it towards the client's face using a rounded brush and leave it at that. My hair is long bob length but I like the wavy/messy long bob look like Jessica Alba etc...or just about EVERYONE who has a long bob these days. Still, I get helmet hair! I can go to the edgiest looking stylist there with tattoos, rainbow hair and creative makeup...but again, boring helmet hair is what I get. WHY??? So yeah, I'm done with Sakari. Why they believe it isn't possible to blow dry hair away form the face, I have no idea. The one time I told I stylist who was about to do that, "I hate when my hair is dried toward my face" she acted like I had told her to start writing with her left hand instead of her right. It's like it was awkward for her to dry it a different way! My impression is I go in there and get a template cut and blowout with no thought given to my individual look or preference. I don't mind paying more for a good haircut, but I'm not getting a good haircut or style from this place. I may as well go to a chain salon. read more

I just moved to the area and had been looking for a good salon when based on other yelp reviews I decided to give Sakari a try. I am so glad I did! The salon's atmosphere and decor is right on point and Maggie, the stylist who cut my hair listened to what I wanted and executed my cut perfectly. I can't wait to go back for color and to try spa treatments. Also, I got 50% off my first service, in my opinion prices (even at full price) are fair and in accordance with what you get. read more

Ahhh, my favorite salon of all time? I think so. Sakari is absolutely worth the hour and a half commute. I've been going to Sakari since it re-opened under that name a few years back, but I have been a client at the old Vintage Salon on Market St. since I was in high school. I can say hands down that Lynda runs the most professional, clean, and knowledgeable salon staff within the greater Northeastern PA region. The only place that might come close is the Woodhouse Spa - but that is a place that really caters towards Brides and showers, things of that nature, where as Sakari is a great salon for one-on-one attention. They remember you by name, and they listen to your needs and actually pay attention to the services you want to receive. I had one botched eyebrow job at Sakari - ONE - and I have been getting my brows waxed since I was 16. And it wasn't even my regular technician, and she didn't realize to use hard wax on my sensitive skin - so it was partially my fault for not telling her or stopping her once I felt the hot wax. Jacquie is one of the best hairstylists around - she is warm, and extremely knowledgeable about her craft. She is an excellent stylist, so if you are in the mood to try something out of the box or really just experiment, she is the girl for you. I have seen her do some amazing work on certain clients. For me, she has been doing my highlights and trims, and keeps my mane looking way above par... people want to know if I have spent a fortune on my hair, and I always refer them to Jacquie. Living outside of NYC, hair salons charge an arm and a leg - I'm talking $200+ for a full highlight, so really, $70 at Sakari justifies my adventures back to the valley every few months for a highlight. Really, this salon is just that good. read more

I don't know why anyone would say that it's not good for kids. My daughters (13 and 11) have been going to Nikki and Jamie (when Nikki isn't there) for about 4-5 years. I got tired of having to retrim my hair after getting it cut elsewhere. Yes, they are a little more than expensive that others, but I certainly feel that I get what I am paying for. Everyone is friendly and professional. Love it there. read more

I had a massage there a few weeks ago. I highly recommend getting a massage from Gina. I had a stressful, exam-filled week as a graduate student, and the massage significantly relieved some of my stress. The massage room had dimmed lights, nice-relaxing music, essential oils, hot rocks, and a very comfortable massage table. Additionally, Gina was very kind & had a relaxing, calm demeanor. She worked out many of the knots in my back, and I felt so much better after the massage! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I love Sakari! I've been there for hair, facials, and brow waxes. Every time I've been more than completely satisfied with the result. I noticed that other reviewers mentioned the price. But, I find their spa services VERY reasonable. I choose to go to one of their 'Master' stylists, so I expect the price to be more. (I think some people around here just don't understand the levels of pricing.) Recently, my stylist was away and the woman covering for her was less expensive, but I was still very pleased with my cut and service. Perhaps just ask when booking? I also have to say that I've been very frustrated with another salon's lack of customer service at their front desk. (I can't stand calling a salon and feeling like I'm inconveniencing them.) The ladies at Sakari have ALWAYS provided wonderful service. I like that they do text confirmations and are always very accommodating when you call to book. read more

After receiving four phenomenol haircuts, my spouse and I are hooked. We don't think the prices are bad AT ALL for the fabulous level of attention and craft you receive. Sami is great for short women's hair cuts, and Lynette has been sending home a mod man cut every time. The staff here is super friendly- they treat you like a new found friend. They seem excited to be working in such a cool space and a positive attitude is definitely felt from the moment you walk in. The GPS address was not so useful.... use the address for "TheBeer Deli" and just head straight back towards the old factory to find Sakari on the 2nd floor. p.s. Bring cash for the tip. you can't put it on your debit read more

The salon is wonderful and the stylists are beyond knowledgeable but the temperature had me sweating throughout my entire experience. Between all the hair dryers and sun beating through the window they should look into thermostat. read more

I was at Sakari recently as part of a bridal party. My hair and my make up both were on point, however I would not recommend this salon for such an occasion. First of all they booked four or five bridal parties on the same morning. Weddings are stressful enough, hair and make up running late makes that stress even worse. My hair stylist did do an amazing job but after she was finished she just left me. No explanation of where I was to go or that my make up artist would be with me shortly. I wandered the salon for about 45 minutes to an hour second guessing if I even made an appointment to get my make up done. After confirming twice that I indeed had a make up appointment I finally was seated in a make up chair. Although talented the make up artists continued to talk amongst themselves, pausing for long periods of time to talk about how hungry they were and how they were so busy. One artist even remarked, "oh my god we have 4 bridal parties today, I didn't know that." A bride nor bridesmaid wants to hear that you didn't know your day was going to be that busy. It made me feel like Sakari wasn't prepared for the day they booked. Needless to say we barely made it back to the bride's house before almost immediately having to leave for the church. Their stylists and make up artists are extremely talented but their lack of customer service really made me happy that I go elsewhere for my hair and will do so if I ever have my own wedding day. Many girls probably step into that salon on wedding days, who like myself have never been there before. It's your chance to obtain new clients but apparently Sakari potential new clients have no value to you. read more

Customer service is declining. I've been with this salon from the beginning and a loyal customer throughout. I've waited 30-45 minutes past the start time of the appointment the last 3 times, and this time they were 30 m late again and had me go with a stylist I didn't know. No apologies, just if you can't wait 30 m that's what we can do. Yes the skills of the stylists are above average, but the front desk staff communication needs improvement! read more

SAKARI ruined my hair! I went there for about 2 years, color was never consistent, cut started out great (maybe because they were going off of a good cut from former stylist?) I had an event, brought in a $600 "retro" dress to match hairstyle to, walked out with a $50 wash n set look, not retro, just old. Went to another salon before event to get restyled, great job btw, issue of damaged hair was brought up at that time. On another visit, I brought up the issues, restyle and damage, to the owner, I was treated like it was my fault, offered 25% off my next visit and was pushed to by products. Went to former stylist (different city) and I wound up with a pixie cut (had shoulder length hair) to clean up damaged, multi colored (how does dark brown single process color wind up being different every time?)hair. Tried being polite and asked them to stop sending promotional emails. Haven't stopped. Customer service was atrocious. Money seems to be the driving factor rather than the walking billboard who is the customer. I don't mind spending money in a quality salon, I put SAKARI on par with a $10 walk-in chop shop. read more

I was very impressed by this salon. I called and needed to make an appointment on short notice and they were able to get me in the very next day. Christie did my cut and color and I don't think I have ever been more pleased with my hair when leaving a salon. She did exactly what I asked for and did not rush through it at all. Abby also did my eyebrow wax which I was very pleased with. This salon is a very up-scale, professional establishment and I will definitely be returning. read more

will never go there again because of dale. while my coloring was processing he went to get a microdermabrasion. yes you read that right.

I've been to Sakari for over about two years and I loved them until my last visit when I noticed that they have changed. Not only did my hair dresser NOT listen to what I wanted for the hair cut, but the front cut was very uneven. I brought it to his attention and he snipped maybe a hair and said it was fine. I held it together until I got home and evened the front of my hair out after paying $40 for the haircut. Ridiculous. Never will I go there again, especially after two friends went within the same week and had similar problems, along with Sakari adding $25 on a hair color treatment after saying the price (-$25) beforehand. read more

Service was extrememly slow and the place wasn't even crowded. I spent over two hours for a partial highlight which cost well over $100. It is extremely OVER PRICED for what it is. My hair looked better when I came in than when I left. Save your money and your time and try elsewhere. Needless to say i will not be returning or recommending this salon. read more
