Jeff is great. Supernice salon

by BrianaLynn

Jeff is awesome. I was really nervous going to a new hairdresser after going to the same one for years and years. He took time to ask me what I wanted and took the time to cut and style my hair before asking if there was anything I wanted him to change. It was great to have someone listen so carefully to what I wanted. The haircut I got was beautiful and looked way better than what I would get from my previous hairdresser. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.

Definitely go on a weeknight, the salon was pretty empty so it was nice and quiet. Plus then parking is easier. The only cons are the given cons of being located in Manayunk - its pricey and parking stinks. But the service and cut I got were definitely worth the money so I'll be back!

• Pros: Beautiful, nice staff
• Cons: pricey, parking

waste of time and money

by citygreen

It's a waste of money and time. They charge you but do not show the same attention for each customer. Spent 4 hrs, paid a lot and still did not get what I asked for. One has to ask and convince the hairdresser about things she should have done herself. Very unprofessional.

• Cons: lots of money and not getting what you paid for

Great results, but salon seriously overbooks

by MH2956

For a rather pricey salon in a trendy area, Salon L'etoile has some pros and cons. My stylist is great, and he does a consistently good job on my hair color each time. On the other hand, all 7-8 times I have been to this salon, I've had to wait 10-15 minutes to be taken for my appointment (when the salon requests you arrive 10-15 min early)

The overbooking issue is really a problem. Every time my stylist is barely finishing my service, and running around to get the next appointment. There is always someone waiting. Also be sure to set plenty of time aside, as my appointments have never been less than 2 hours. Also watch the meters outside on the street- they only let you put in 2hrs worth, but the salon service always lasts longer!

• Pros: Consistent job, friendly staff
• Cons: Salon overbooks very often, hard to find parking, expensive prices
