Best hairstylist

by fitz1970 at Citysearch

Joey is the best hairstylist I've ever had. He listened to me when I first came to him for a cut. I have him carte blanche and loved the cut. The cut developed into a highlight & cut as I got older and grayer. Now, I'm into the full blown color...the grays took over. He broke it to me gently..."uh, you need to think about a full color next time. You can't get away with just highlights anymore." Yes, on top of a being a great hair stylist, he is hysterical. My hours sitting in the chair are entertaining. I hate maintaining my hair, but Joey makes my trip well worth it. He also does such a good job matching my color that I don't have to do much maintenance. He is simply the best!

Rinse Salon is awesome!

by CardiacNurse at Citysearch

I went here on Friday to get my hair cut. My layers had grown out and I just needed something fresh and new. My appointment was with Michelle and she listened to what I wanted to do as well as made suggestions of what she thought would look good when I asked her. I have rarely had a good haircut and style, and I must say this one is amazing! I have received so many compliments and am so happy with my new style. Michelle was so nice and thoughtful and took the time to do it right! I highly recommend that you try Rinse Salon and make an appointment with Michelle, you will not be disappointed!

• Pros: Service, staff, experience, professional and friendly
• Cons: parking

Best hair salon- ever!

by MKNW at Citysearch

Rinse is a fantastic salon, not only because all of the stylists are true professionals, but beacuse you feel like you are going to meet your friends while you are there. Joey Rose has been cutting and coloring my hair for almost four years now, and I have never been happier with a stylist, as I have been with Joey. Joey has the ability to capture your personality with the hair cut and choosing a color. I easily trust Joey to select a color and cut that works with my style, and look forward to seeing him every time to see what he'll create next! Joey takes his time to listen to what you want, and also uses his expertise to make sure that the hair cut and color works with your facial structure and coloring. Not only is Joey a professional, but Joey is not pretentious in the slightest, and I always feel as if I'm Joey's only client when I'm there. Joey makes you feel that you are an important client each time, and never rushes through an appointment. I also always enjoy our conversations and enjoy seeing Michelle, Kaite, and Nicole as well. I followed Joey from other salons and couldn't be happier that he now has his own salon. I'd follow him anywhere. The environment of Rinse is also calming and cosy, so I always leave feeling relaxed and in an excellent mood. If you're looking for a salon to get an amazing cut and color, as well a place where you feel important and listened to, Rinse is the salon for you.

A cut above the rest

I was never keen on going to salons to get my hair done, but the moment Michele cut and colored my hair, I was hooked! The salon itself is inviting and calm, their level of service is great, and the stylists are always welcoming and friendly. The salon experience with Michele was like going to a good friend to get your hair done: she listened to my concerns and wants as we discussed what I wanted, she was talkative and interesting, and definitely developed an environment that I keep coming back for almost a year later. From the beneficial referral service to the neighborhood atmosphere to the amazing color job she does, she has transformed my hair into something I very often get complimented on, and wear down with pride. I am excited for my upcoming appointment, and completely trust her to cut/color/style me as she feels would look best on me.

• Pros: Service, Skill, Color job, Flexibility
• Cons: Hard to get an appointment, Prices prevent me from going more frequently

A dream come true!

by rosa84 at Citysearch

I was looking for a salon that has a personality, but that respects and works with yours - not one of those great big barn-like company salons that gives everyone the latest Victoria Beckham 'do! And I found it at Rinse - it's small and super friendly - none of the arrogance of other Rittenhouse-area salons. Michelle cut my hair, and I LOVE it! It's never looked better, she listened to everything that I said (I'm a classical musician so I need something cute but still classic - this was really important to me and she totally understood) and what's more is she actually explained to me how to style it - I can't be the only one who knows that this is music to a girls' ear! The atmosphere made me feel completely comfortable, which is important because it can be hard to say exactly what you want if you feel you're being herded through like cattle. The hair mousse that I got there is AWESOME - no more searching aimlessly for something that works in CVS! Being from the UK (where a good haircut can be very expensive), I didn't think Rinse was too expensive - my cut was $60, and I gave a healthy tip because I was so happy :)

• Pros: Friendly atmosphere, amazing haircut that actually looks good the next day
• Cons: That I can't afford to go get my hair done by them every day!
