Carolyn = great color & cut

by member182 at Citysearch

I cut my normally long hair into a bob last winter and dyed it dark brown. By spring I was ready for a cut and a lighter hair color. I was nervous to let just anyone cut my already short hair --I just wanted it reshaped & was afraid it would get butchered. I knew I needed to splurge on a quality stylist from a quality salon. Based on CitySearch results I booked an appointment with Carolyn at Salon Thalia. She did a great job with the cut, color & highlights. She was so friendly and offered her expert opinion --which I'm glad she did because her color suggestion was better than what I originally wanted. Even her assistant, Susan, was so nice and attentive. It was a really great experience and the salon is beautiful.

Not anymore expensive than other salons in the Center City area. If you can afford it, go.

• Pros: customer serivce, expertise

Highly recommended

by start1409 at Citysearch

I decided to try Salon Thalia after moving into the city, based on my gf's recommendation. As a newbee to the salon, I was slightly unsure what to expect. But Travis met and went beyond my expectations. He gave me probably the best haircut of my life. He is very well trained and extremely personable. I well definitely be returning to this salon, and recommending Travis to many of my friends.

• Pros: Great service and friendly staff
• Cons: Little pricey

Best Wax - See Alissa!

by MSimski12 at Citysearch

I've been a client of Alissa's for several years and followed her from Toppers to Salon Thalia. I will follow her wherever she goes! She's a doll, number one. Always sweet, always makes me feel like an old friend coming to greet me (granted an old friend who's going to rip a bunch of hair off me!) and her technique is very clean and relatively painless. I just won't go to anyone else. I'll go hairy before I stray from Alissa. Also, her facials are sublime! My skin never looks as good as it does after a visit to her. Like the new salon a lot too, a much nicer place to see my favorite girl than outdated Toppers.

Skin is noticabley improved.

by Carlyl at Citysearch

Had a facial here a few weeks ago with Allison? I can't remember her name which is terrible but it started with an A. I was waiting to post a review til some time had passed cos with me facials tend to "do their magic" a few weeks later. Well, my skin is noticeably improved. I started using a new regimen she had prescribed for me at home which seems to be helping also. This was my first time here at thalia so I can't say anything for the salon part but the facial area was like a hidden gem. I had no idea they even had this part of the salon, you wouldn't be able to tell just from walking by. Its a whole seperate area with curtains and a relaxing atmosephere. I don't get facials often but when I do I will be back here. 5 stars!

• Pros: my skin
• Cons: not really

Great facial!

by KK12 at Citysearch

Had a facial with Alissa on Saturday as part of a promotion (it was half off). Best facial I've had in years. it was really busy in the salon when I came in so I was worried that it wouldn't be relaxing in the room but I was wrong. She put me at ease right away and the whole facal was so relaxing, I almost fell asleep! My skin is still looking great, not red like after some facials, just looks really clean and glowing. I think I will definitely be back for another facial in a few weeks. Overall, salon was clean, staff friendly. I might go back and try their hair services too.

• Pros: Facial

Great Cut, no attitude

by Sgragz at Citysearch

I've been to a lot of hairdressers over the years and while some of them seem to get it right, it never lasts and sure enough after the third or fourth trip, my hair is a mess again. After searching all over, I found Maria at Thalia and I am set! She always listens to what I want, offers great advice on how to change it up (if I want) and I always leave looking great! Even better, my hair still looks great weeks after a cut.

• Pros: great hair, clean salon, friendly staff

Best wax

by Kccs12 at Citysearch

I have found my new place! Had a bikini wax with Alyssa here, was great! I mean, as far as a wax can be great it was great. Almost painless, definetly quick and clean and she was really nice and made me feel comfortable. Plus she offered me a discount for when I come back for a facial which I will probably do. Didn't see the whole salon but overall it was clean, staff was friendly, I will be back!

• Pros: Alyssa
• Cons: no cash back

She reccomended a Clarifying Facial which helped clear up my skin wright away. I asked her a lot of questions about my skin and she was happy to offer a her advise. I will defintily rebook in a few weeks with Alissa again. My skin is glowing and my acne cleared up immediately!

katie gave me great bangs!!

by pheonix22383 at Citysearch

I went to Salon Thalia for the first time the other day. Katie was my stylist and she did an amazing job! She worked with me to figure out the perfect cut- one that combined my personal style with the most flattering shape and length for me. I will definitely go back to Katie & would recommend her to anyone.

Great Cut on Short Notice

by kitselt at Citysearch

I scheduled a last minute appointment with Katie. I was surprised to see the huge extent of the of salon, but it's easy to see why this place is so popular! My stylist did a great job combining what I knew I wanted and her ideas for what would work well in my hair, I've gotten nothing but compliments for the job she did! I have been recommending this salon to everyone.

Thanks for the time, attention and great haircut!
