Salon at 5th has a great vibe, is not pretentious, and has a friendly staff - and Kyle (the owner) is great. I have been going to Faith for a while and I am always happy with the way she cuts and styles my hair. Faith makes lots of suggestions, and is proud of her work. She is really pleasant, listens to what you want, and offers up some cool chit-chat along the way.

• Pros: Comfortable, Friendly, conveniant

Best Stylist in Philly

by elisap at Citysearch

My mom is a stylist, and has cut my hair my whole life. After I moved to Philadelphia I became tired of having to drive an hour and a half for a haircut, and decided it was time to find someone local. I tried a few salons, and after each haircut found myself putting it in a pony tail and waiting anxiously for it to grow out. Luckily, a friend of mine recommended I make an appointment with John at Salon @ 5th. As you can imagine I was a nervous wreck going in, not having ever had a good experience anywhere other than my mom's kitchen. John calmed all of my nerves, listened to what I wanted and had great ideas to enhance my style. I've been going to John for a year and a half now, and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Now my hair appointments are comfortable and relaxing, instead of nerve wracking and disappointing. Everytime I walk out of Salon @ 5th I feel fabulous! I recently moved out of the city and the drive to see John is well worth it - he's definitely the best!

• Pros: Professional, Comfortable, Reasonable Prices

Comfortably Chic Experience

by alissamc at Citysearch

As you walk into the salon you are greeted by the warm staff and the amazingly clean and modern decor. The salon offers all the trendy styles as others in the city but in addition an atmosphere comfortable for everyone. I have been at Salon at 5th for three years and I should do their PR. Mostly because I believe it can be a life changing experience to be happy with your appearance. I know it sounds dramatic but I think all men and women need and want a change every once in awhile so instead of changing your partner just get a fresh hairdo :)

John Brown is my stylist and I have recruited friend after friend to join his loyal posse. He is very talented and charming. His skill set is beyond any hair professional where he can take suggestions or he can do what his does best "stylist's choice". I have my haircut and styled everytime by his suggestion and EVERYTIME people rave about it. It says a lot about him that he knows how to be trendy but also apropriate for your face shape.
