I'm so excited to return to Salon Vanity! I went there years ago but moved abroad. Now that I am back in Philly, I look forward to the amazing skilled stylists and atmosphere. They deserve every award received. See you soon!

I love Mak. I've been going to her for years now and she always kills it - cut and color. Our appointments are collaborative and she always knows how to figure out exactly what's going to work best. Everyone is friendly. No complaints! Service: Haircut

Gianna is AMAZING and completely transformed my hair color and cut into exactly what I wanted. She's now my go-to stylist! Everyone at the salon is also very friendly and helpful.

Allergic reaction, not pro, very disappointed I chose this salon because this was the only place that has so so many 5 star review. I was looking for a haircut n highlights during October, but the closest/ fastest date i can book is January. I was so looking forward bc every customer 's hair in their insta page was like so perfect. BUT I WAS SUPER NOT SATISFIED. i asked for a ash gray tone highlight, but it turns out like dark brown?

It looks not good And I have no idea why when the hair dye was touched to my face and none of them saw it until like 5 minutes later, then they try to whipped it off with a towel, they whipped it super hard n i can feel pain. But the day after i find out the spot was super itchy and painful, i stg i never had a hair dye allergy or anything similer like that, SUPER DISAPPOINTED N WILL NEVER GO AGAIN not me waiting for 3 months just for allergy n ugly highlighs

I've been going to Salon Vanity since 2016. I cannot thank Eddie, Gianna, Bri & Mak enough for always making sure my hair is looking it's best. I always leave with my hair feeling weightless, healthy & fabulous!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value I am the definition of hair cut anxiety!

Absolutely wonderful experience at this salon. It was first time and I loved everything about the salon. From the front desk staff, to the stylists, everyone was very knowledgeable and professional. Friendly and accommodating, they took the time to educate me and understand my needs. I would recommend this salon to looking for a very positive new experience. I was a little apprehensive because I was new to them and they made me feel like I had been coming Salon Vanity for years.

Positive: Cleanliness, Quality I needed a last minute hair color done, and they were able to get me in same day before Thanksgiving! Erin got it done in less than an hour and my hair looks great! One of the receptionists did seem a bit rude over the phone but when I called again and spoke to Heather she was a lot sweeter and made sure I got in Gorgeous place! Service: Hairstyling

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality Salon Vanity is the best! They are always professional, on time and they provide high quality work. Gianna is an incredible stylist. She is kind, bubbly, easy to talk to, and always delivers exactly what I ask for. Best of all, she keeps the integrity of my hair strong and beautiful. Could not recommend her or Salon Vanity more!

My new favorite hair salon! I haven't been to a hair salon since January 2020. My friend highly recommended Vanity Salon and told me it's the number one spot in Philadelphia. I'm so glad I went. It was great hair therapy for me. I left with bouncy, soft, wavy layers that is shaped into a V in the back. I have been getting so many compliments on social media and from friends about my new haircut.

The hair is the mane attraction. Marlene Ortiz is amazing! She will be my go to from now on. Her recommendation for my new cut framed my face really well. My next visit will be a color session. I parked at the Hyatt Centric parking garage and walked over. They also send text confirmations and instructions on where to park. I love how it's streamlined. I was greeted immediately upon entering and was seen shortly after arriving a little early.

Horrible haircut. Told my stylist exactly how I wanted my hair cut and that I wanted curtain bangs. She cut it exactly how I told her not to it. She must have realized she messed up because she didn't even try to give me bangs. I walked out of this fancy salon looking like I had a bowl around my head. Don't waist your time or money here. Back to the architeqt salon where they seem to listen and know how to please their clients.

Salon Vanity is truly the best salon I have ever been to. Every single member of the team is so professional. I cannot rave enough. They are experts on keeping hair not only beautiful but healthy. My stylist is Erin. She is FANTASTIC! I just had my appointment with her yesterday. I left feeling so much happier! Chloe was assisting her and did an amazing job as well! Thank you so much Erin, Chloe, and the entire Salon Vanity Team!.

On the hunt for a honest colorist? Ask for Lauren! Love my hair. Thank you for listening to my concerns and being very clear on what to expect. She's very honest in communicating the process and pricing. Also, don't forget to leave gratuity for her assistant. Not only for the scalp massage but it's a team effort. Both were professional, personable and very gentle. P.S. Be sure to make your next appt before you leave, she books FAST

I came to Salon Vanity with some real nasty, post-pandemic roots and left the salon with excellent highlights. This is one of the best colorings I've received. I was slightly startled at the cost and wish there was a little more transparency around the pricing. I paid $365 for full highlights and a trim--$430 including tip. To be clear, I am not complaining about the cost.

I was given a $200 quote when I first made the appointment for full highlights and a trim, so the $365 through me off a bit. That being said, Marisa worked her ass off for 1.5 hours, my hair looks great and I don't regret choosing Salon Vanity.

Had a gloss service with Angela. Wanted my hair to be darker and came out with it lighter. She said if I went darker it would cover up the highlights. On top of that she was rude and had a horrible attitude. I was also told the gloss service would be 50 however she charged 75. 10/10 do you not recommend this place everything about it is off.

I've been going here for almost a year now. Great place with super friendly staff. Always on time and Michael does a fantastic job with my cuts. So happy I found this place as I looked for a new spot due to a Covid closure. Very much recommended.

Angela "the Angel" cuts my hair. She is the best! The Salon is perfect and as a guy in a women's world they still treat me well and always make me feel at home! I have been coming here for years and I can highly recommend it.

Best salon in Philly. I get compliments on my hair all the time, even from stylists at other salons - where I go to get blow-outs. They ask me who does my color. Amazing, modern and cool but the staff is friendly and down to earth. I've been a client for 8 years, and I would never go anywhere else.

Angela handles my cowlicks perfectly. I have short hair, so that's crucial. The staff are friendly and helpful. Old, gray-haired clients who just want the best haircut are welcome.

I've been getting haircuts at Salon Vanity with Mike for over a year now. Mike has taken great care of me every time. Mike listens to my concerns regarding my personal preferences when it comes to styling. His work is consistently good, but what makes him exceptional compared to other barbers and stylists I've worked with is that he's keen on engaging with me and helping me plan ahead in terms of my haircut.

For instance, last year when my wedding was a month away, Mike guided me through the steps I should take to ensure my haircut was in its cleanest possible shape for the big day. Throughout the pandemic, I've been able to count on Salon Vanity to provide the safest possible service. It's evident they take keeping a clean environment seriously, and they've been considerate about following the safety protocol ever since salons were given the go ahead to re-open. I'm so thankful Mike and his frequent assistant, Sierra, have been able to help me get the usual great haircut there in spite of the various challenges imposed by this unique and unfortunate situation we're in. Mike is kind, supportive and knowledgeable about his craft. He's taught me new things about taking better care of my hair and has patiently shown how I can achieve the look I'm happy with. Highly recommended.

I've been a customer of Vanity since it first opened. Every single time I left pleased and feeling much better about my hair style. Although I've had other stylists in the past, lately I've been seeing Lori and she is wonderful. I highly recommend Vanity.

I have been coming to Salon Vanity for years. The salon is always well kept and everyone is very nice and welcoming. I have been using Alyson for a year or so for haircuts and I am always super pleased with her work.

Very minimalistic chic space in a corner spot. Secretaries are always so kind on the phone and they provide discounted parking in the garage. The side door was a little hard for me to find the first time but you just need to read the signs closely. I have always gone to Michael and he has perfected my dark-rooted blonde look without frying my hair. The salon is a little pricey but very worth it for the high-end products and expert stylists.
