I had an outstanding experience with Adil at Talent in Manila this Sunday and can't recommend him highly enough. Even on a busy day, he took the time to fit me into his schedule, and the level of professionalism and attention to detail from start to finish was exceptional. The straight-edge razor shave alone was worth the visit--clean, precise, and incredibly smooth. It's clear Adil takes real pride in traditional barbering techniques, and the result was one of the sharpest, most polished finishes I've had in years. The haircut itself was equally impressive: structured, balanced, and tailored perfectly for a professional setting. I walked out feeling confident, refreshed, and completely ready for an important business meeting. Adil combines technical skill with genuine professionalism and a calm, welcoming presence that makes the entire experience feel first-class. You can tell immediately you're in the hands of someone who truly understands men's grooming at a high level. If you're anywhere in the Havertown area and looking for a top-tier haircut, styling session, or a classic straight-edge shave, Talent in Manila is absolutely the place to go. Highly recommended. read more

Lawrence, the owner, always gives a thorough consultation and does exactly the cut I wanted. I always leave happy with a beautiful haircut.

I was visiting from California and looking for a salon to get a quick haircut. I had the pleasure of having Adil cut my hair. He is very pleasant, assuring and helpful as well as professional. My hair has been thinning with my age and Adil was very informative and easy to work with when I told him of my concerns of 2 cowlicks, a mullet and long sideburns that run wild with the slightest bit of wind. Adil gave me a cut that with his suggestion with a little volume spray and small round brush, I could definitely add the appearance of fullness. Adil also showed me how to use some pomade on the tips to add a defined look. Thanks, Adil! I will see you on my next trip to PA! read more

I have been a customer at Talent Salon for over ten years. In my experiences, the business is very well-run, cognizant of the appointment schedule (I've very rarely had to wait past my appointment time), and has retained a professional and competent staff. The owner, Lawrence (sp?), is personable, professional, and hands-on with keeping the salon clean and updated, while also ensuring customers (and employees!) are happy and satisfied. My stylist, Adil, has consistently given me the best haircuts I've (55 - M) ever gotten. He is always pleasant, conversational, and seems genuinely happy to see his clients. The attention to detail he gives each haircut is exemplary; he is one of the only stylists I've ever had who takes the time to use a straight razor and shaving cream below my sideburns and neck hairline. As a finishing touch, he also uses the same razor with a comb to eliminate any thin stray hairs on top. I highly recommend Talent salon! read more

Lawrence came to my rescue on the week of my daughter's Bat Mitzvah, convincing Carla to come in early to do her hair. Carla came in at 7am and patiently worked on her for more than an hour, organizing her wild curls into beautiful ringlets, and creating a gorgeous look for her very special day. We are so very grateful for their thoughtfulness and professionalism and for getting us in/out in time for photos and for the ceremony. What a beautiful day! Thank you! read more

Talent Salon - Carla did a beautiful job with my daughter's hair for an amazing Bat Mitzvah look! - Hair Salons Near Me - Havertown, Pennsylvania

I heartily endorse Talent Hair Salon. I have had at least 20 haircuts at Talent. They have all been consistently well-done; I never a bad one. I have been pleasantly surprised by the many unsolicited compliments I get after each of my visits. All of Talent's stylists are exceptionally skilled, highly experienced (each stylist has at least two decades in the profession), patient, careful and hardworking. I am especially impressed with the cheerful and comfortable, if not fun and funny, ambience of the salon. Just one tip, which I am sure can apply to most salons, try to go early in the week. read more

I want to give the team 1 star credit for welcoming me and my 13 year old with a welcoming smile. My daughter has Course beautiful hair texture because she is Biracial. She had her scheduled 13th birthday photo shoot the following day and I wanted to pamper her by getting her hair done at a salon. They welcomed her in. I was hesitant because I felt that they probably did mostly Caucasian hair, but I decided to give them a try and to prove my doubts wrong. The stylist quickly washed her hair, which I felt that it was not properly washed clean. I walked away to answer a phone call, and when I returned to see her hair process, I observed her hair was not detangled and partially wet while the stylist flat ironed her hair. I attempted to suggest to the stylist to blow dry her hair first, so that it would be detangled to allow for easy flat ironing process , but the stylist refused to listen or take my suggestion. Every time he applied the hot flat iron to my child's hair, it made that wet noise because the hair was still wet. In the end, my child roots where still not detangled and the hair ends were not detangled . There were no way to effortlessly run your fingers through her hair. To top it off, my child's scalp was not clean, and that showed that he (stylist), quickly washed her hair without cleaning the scalp. The stylist did not even apply conditioning during the hair washing process. I was charged $150.00 for a hair that was not washed properly, and not detangled from the roots to the ends, and the roots of the hair were not flat ironed. Believe it or not, I paid $5.00 tip just because I did not want the stereotype label that "black people" don't pay tips. I went home and I had to detangle my child's hair from the roots to the ends. A word of advice to the stylist, please be honest with your limitations. It's okay to say that you are not qualify to manage black texture hair. It's okay! Don't overcharge for something you did not complete or don't know how to do. Regardless of ethnic hair texture or black natural hair texture, hair washing should be 101 for any hair stylist regardless of race. Your failed that with a big "F". Regardless of ethnic hair texture or black natural hair texture, you should NEVER flat iron a wet hair or tangled hair. Detangle, dry, then flat iron the hair but the hair has to be bouncy and free of kinks before it's flat ironed. Thank you but I will NEVER return and I will use my experience as a paying customer to never settle for mediocre services especially when I try to give suggestions to correct an issue that is directly going to affect me. read more

Talent was formerly PC&C back in the day , and I remember many locations around the Delaware Valley. Great place, a welcoming owner and and consistent results every time. Go there. read more

Wish I could give 0 stars. I was going to make an appointment but was frustrated and disappointed by the woman who answered the phone. She was rude, curt, and not helpful. And she was eating, as I could hear her chewing her food. Very unprofessional. I have serious concerns about everyone else who works there. I'm going elsewhere. read more

Christina was very welcoming and I felt very connected to her. I just happened to stumble upon this salon and the warmth I was greeted with made me feel like I found the perfect place for me. The haircut I got is amazing! She did different highlight coloring that looks incredible. During the haircut we had amazing conversation and overall the salon had great energy. I came home shining, not just from the haircut but from the overall experience. I would recommend this place to anyone and definitely will be returning!!! read more

The decor is a little old fashioned, but the staff is super nice staff and very knowledgeable. I got a great bob cut done here.

I've been to going to Talent Hair Salon for a few years, now and am always happy with the way Lawrence, colors and styles my hair. For year's I'd go to Center City and pay outrageous prices and never liked my hair. One time, at an exclusive Salon, my hair was orange and it was fried. My friends tell me, my hair's never looked better. They now go to Talent. In response to the review, about the owner being Anti-Semitic, I have to disagree. His son is Jewish, as is his best friend.

My granddaughter's first haircut was a great experience made so nice and welcoming by the owner, Lawrence! He went above snd beyond to make sure she was comfortable and not nervous...she's almost 4! Thank you!!! read more

I highly recommend this place for great haircuts, and color. I saw Lawrence for an updo for a special event, got compliments all night on my hair. Price was good too. All the stylists there are very friendly and talented. read more

This neighborhood salon used to have its own website where you could see the people working there now. I guess now they are economizing; no website. I stopped going there because every time I went I was charged a different price for a haircut. If the 'stylists' charging the highest price had given me the best haircut and styling it might not have mattered. But this was not the case. I think the owner is tired of the business and is just in it now to milk what he can before retiring. Sad. We need good local businesses we can support. But this is no longer one of them. read more

Would not recommend this salon. I have gone there for over 2 years. Started out fine. Service has declined. Stylist really more interested in phone messaging than my hair. Coloring product dried my hair out. When I mentioned this I was ignored. No real advise on how to repair my hair. No real interest in the best style for my hair. Not worth the prices. read more

I was charged 13.00 for eyebrow waxing!! Yup 10 seconds and 13 bucks!! The guy who did them had no personality at all! Never told me price beforehand or I would never have paid that much!! I generally pay 5 or 6 dollars! Never again will i go there and I plan to tell as many people as possible!! read more

So here's the story: I live in South Jersey. Yesterday, I drove 1hr 45mins to find a salon in someplace in PA that I'd never heard of. I was going for no other reason than to pick up some old salon inventory I had arranged to buy from the owner via an online advertisement. So that was my sole purpose for being there. When I got to the salon, I noticed Lawrence doing a lady's hair; he had a level of concentration, attention to detail and a 'je ne sais quoi' that I've only seen one time before in a hair stylist in my entire life. I recognized this man as a true artist, and instinctively knew he was the man to do my hair. I want outside-the-box, theatrical, avant-garde, cartoon character hair. I wasn't 100% happy with anyone, so I just wore wigs for the last couple of years and did nothing with my own hair. So without any hesitation, I asked if my hair could be done right then. Lawrence cut, colored and styled my hair to my exact vision. Not only that, but he never once rushed; even when we were still going after the salon closed, he STILL took time to teach me how to style my hair. He listened to every word I said, and I was 100% involved. I was treated like a VIP, and Mary, Lawrence's fiancé was equally as fantastic. Words can't express how I feel. Just to thank him doesn't somehow seem appropriate; I hope my appreciation for his art and service speaks volumes more than words of thanks ever could. read more

I have been going to this Salon for 3 years now, and this is the first time I am extremely disappointed with them and their costumer service. Back in November, I called them to ask if they did hair for weddings. They told me I would need to speak to the owner and come in with pictures of the girls' hair. I came back in in December with most of my bride's maids and pictures they had of the hair style they wanted, along with hair accessories they wanted to use. We walked in and the receptionist was very rude and told us we would need to come back when the owner was present. That's hard to do with 7 bride's maids who all live in different states. I called back later in December and was told to make an appointment in February. I put an alert in my phone to call them on February 1st and I did. The owner was not there and I was told to call back the next day when he was in at 11:00am. I called back, and he was busy with a customer and I was told he would call me back. I waited a few days, no call. I called again, and I was given the same story that he would be in the next day at the same time to work with a customer. Again, I was told he would call me back. He did not. This went on for about a week until he finally answered and gave me his email address. He gave it to me so fast and with such jumbled wording that I wondered if he even knew I was trying to write it down. I had to ask him for it 3 or 4 times and he did not sound happy that he had to repeat himself. He ended the conversation quickly, hanging up before I could even finish my last sentence. I emailed him pictures and information about the wedding. He never responded. I called again. They said his email wasn't working and asked if I could text him. The email was very involved as I have myself, 7 bride's maids, my mother and my soon to be mother-in-law. I told them this was impossible since the email was very involved. They asked if I could come in to meet with him, and I asked what times and they said during the week between 11am-1pm. I work as a teacher so those hours are impossible and it didn't seem as though it was negotiable on their part. They asked me to send the email again, and I did. He responded, but it was very hard to read. His grammar made it very difficult to understand what he was saying. He had a general time of when we should start the hair and a price for all the girls. Nothing about a deposit or overall price, just individual prices and a general time to start. I emailed him back with questions and asking if we could book a time, no response. I texted him and he responded to that and mentioned a deposit. I asked him how much it would be (a deposit did not surprise me, but since he had not mentioned it before I wanted to know how much it was). He didn't respond, so I texted him again the next night and he told me, "He was sure he sent this all in a prior email". He did not. His emails came off as if he didn't care and was simply responding on his phone when he had the time. The prices also didn't match up with the overall price he was going to charge me. My fiance and I sat down and added the numbers 3 different ways and tried to compare it to the end price he gave me and it just didn't add up. The prices were fair and I would have been willing to pay them if I felt as though he would have even shown up the day of the appointment. Overall, I was upset at the lack of communication, the fact that I had to pester him to get any response and when they did respond, it seemed to be with little to no interest. I was going to be giving them a lot of money, and the least I would have liked back was to work with my schedule and at least respond with full details through a coherently written email. If they weren't able to accommodate such a large party on such an important day, then they should have just said that and i wouldn't have wasted a month of my life trying to set an appointment with them for the most important day of my life. read more

Had my hair blown out yesterday and they did a terrific job .Carla did a fantastic job. Everyone in the salon was so friendly. Will definitely be returning! read more

I have been going to another colorist for 4 years. Every time I went, she had to re-do the color because it wasn't what I asked for, adding another hour to my time there. I brought pictures of the color I wanted, but she never got it right. She was the top colorist in the salon. I thought I was just hard to please. Finally I went to Talent out of frustration. Christine took one look at the picture and got the color and the cut right that first day. I was even stopped in a restaurant by a woman who asked me who did my color, she thought it was beautiful. I won't go anywhere else. Now my day, and my money isn't wasted! read more

People are very nice and do a good job. Conditions in the salon are not great. Specifically, lighting is terrible. Way too many fixtures, making the lighting very harsh. Replacing the lighting with modern LED fixtures will improve the operating environment of the salon and save the proprietor a ton of money in energy expense. What is being done now with all those fixtures and the egg crate diffusers is a total waste of money. read more

Owner/ Manager Lawrence is an incompetent , rude, nasty, impatient fool!!! I go out of my way to make sure he's not there when I get hair cuts!! I feel sorry for his talented employees who have to put up with his nonsense on a daily basis! read more

Dated, dirty, hanging beads, poor customer service, anything but hair. One stylist had a toupe, another a comb over, and one with grey roots. The manager was yelling for my stylist to tend the front desk. I walked out. read more

This place is the grossest salon I've ever encountered. I came in on the fly for a brow wax without knowing anything about the place. I was greeted by a receptionist at the front desk eating a chicken caesar salad. She was friendly, but she talked to me with food in her mouth and yelled to the back to the girl who would do my brows. I had a great sense of unease as I walked through the cheesy glass bead entry way into the salon and felt like I was in a dated time warp. Hello 1985 - seriously, I don't think it's been renovated since - and I remember DeBarge was playing over the speaker. When I entered the waxing room, I wanted to walk out. The walls were painted by an amateur who did sunsets and beach scenes and the walls were filthy, filthy filth! The white pleather salon chair was also stained with a black layer of dirt as well as wax drippings. A soiled towel that was obviously used the entire day without being changed draped the head of the chair. I asked for another towel, and she put a paper towel over the other towel. Again, I wanted to run, but I really needed a wax and was short on time. She did a decent job - I think her name was Robin - she should not be working in this joint - I will never go back. I honestly don't know how they stay in business - or why the health department hasn't shut them down, read more
