ok...just...ok

by AbbieSweetness

I called and the receptionist was friendly. He suggested a stylist for my needs. I wanted something different, I brought pictures (a cute bob with a lot of layers) knowing I wanted something a bit out of the ordinary. My stylist was right on time. She seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. She told me she could do my haircut no problem. The shampoo girl gave me some weird head massage rub thing for a minute. Anyway, my stylist cut my hair in like, 15 minutes, blowdried it and cut it again with the zig-zag scissors. it looked o.k. Kind of matronly actually. She spent more time talking about herself than paying attention to my hair. My hair was not like my picture. My bob was uneven on the bottom AND in the layers. I washed it and now I can't even style it. I am afraid to go back because I don't want it cut any shorter. I will say she covered up the cut with an ok blowdry. I paid what I thought was a lot for my haircut, and I don't like it. I won't be coming back. Oh well...the search continues.

• Pros: Got an appointment right away.
• Cons: too much money for what I got.:(

Wonderful Cut and Color

by HazzzyJane

I love Art + Science! I am very, very picky about my hair and have been completely satisfied with my haircuts from Rene. She listens to what I want but also gives her own professional advice. I've also been pleased with the coloring services. Although I always struggle with parking, it's worth the hassle.

• Pros: Excellent Hair Services
• Cons: Expensive, Difficult to find parking for new location

Color your hair here, seriously!

by tatertots

I do not like salons and I generally am never satisfied with my hair when I leave one. I kept researching and researching salons in the city and outside Philadelphia. I read a small article on Daily Candy and decided to look up Art + Science. I read all the stylists bios and decided to pick Ali because she had "color" under her name. I crossed my fingers and made an appointment. I have NEVER walked out pleased with my hair. She did the most amazing coloring job. I went from multi-shades of terrible uneven sort of brown sort of brassy, to beautiful light golden buttery brown. It has been a few days and I have gotten so many compliments already. Everyone there was so nice and fun, but Ali is definitely the person when it comes to color. She just overall rules, take my word for it! You will not be sorry!

• Pros: Parking, Everyone is so nice
• Cons: you have to pay to have your hair blown out after a cut or color

My favorite place for spa services

by clair12

I get facials and massages here. When you get a facial they start you off with a footrub. The massages are the best. You can sign up to have them text message you when they have last minute appointments open as well.

Most importantly, all the products are natural!

at last.

i have very curly/unruly hair and have struggled for a long time to find someone that would be able to work with it. art and science is great. the woman that cut my hair (crystal) was very skilled and willing to work with me to find something that would make me feel good. they treat you very well (scalp massage, aveda products, and recomendations for products that will work well with your hair) it is affordable and a very relaxing way to experiance a hair cut. i will go back for sure.

• Pros: atmosphere, skilled stylist, aveda products
• Cons: n/a
