Salon Glam

I have not updated my Unilocal profile since I posted my first review. When I logged in I noticed I had a message from «Sarah C.» Ironically enough the message was signed by Nanci. The salon Owner. After looking further into Sarah c’s profile, I noticed this person (nanci) made a 5 star review of glam using this identity. Fishy business going on. I’ve since been happier at a salon outside the city.

Absolutely in love with the cut, color, and deep conditioning treatment I got done today. First of all the service was top notch, they were able to make me an apt for just a half an hour away from when I called, very accommodating. And my stylist Brittany was amazing, so friendly and very knowledgable. Love this place and recommend asking for Brittany next time you visit!

This is the best experience I have ever had with a salon! They took there time and listened to everything I wanted. They also did my daughters hair and it turned out perfect! I will be going back!

Moving to a new area requires a lot of changes and one of the most challenging can be finding a hair stylist. In my neighborhood of Roxborough, and particularly along the business corridor on Ridge Avenue, clients have many choices (I am guessing at least 6 or more in under a mile). While strolling the avenue one day after getting a bakery treat next door at Café Roma Bakery, I casually stopped in the Salon Glam. I had reconnected with an old friend who cut hair but unfortunately he worked at a high-​end salon and the price tag for a haircut was twice what I was use to paying. I’m pretty sure it was the manager-​owner who greeted me, advised of pricing for haircuts (and coloring too) and gave me the salon business card. I only stopped by to inquire and already I felt welcome. When it came time for my next cut, I called Salon Glam and schedule for both a cut and color.
I was scheduled with April and on arrival, the same manager recognized me from several weeks prior making me feel extra welcome. There was no delay for my appointment time. April took time to learn about my needs for both styling and color. This was one of the best first-​time experiences ever at a new salon. I am extremely happy with the entire process — cut and color. She was allowed to take the proper amount of time to cut my hair and do the coloring service without ever feeling rushed. The price was excellent (just $ 18 for a men’s cut and shampoo, plus the color of course). As an added bonus, while waiting for the color treatment, the Salon offers complimentary beverages including coffee and more — so you can really feel like your indulging yourself. I will be back and would certainly recommend you give Salon Glam a try — if you’re nervous about trying a new place, just ask for April.
June Update — I’ve already been back, just a few days ago and this time for a regular haircut again with April. And once again I am very happy with the cut and style! And there was no waiting with my scheduled appointment!

I am always changing my mind about what I want to do with my hair and usually start my appointment with, «What do you think about this cut»? Thankfully my stylist is a very patient and talented woman who always makes me look my best by helping me decide on a style that is most flattering for me. I love coming to Salon Glam because I get a chance to relax, get pampered a bit and chat with some of the nicest and most fun girls in the Philly area. Salon Glam gives me a great cut and some seriously good hospitality all for a reasonable price… and believe me, most places can’t do that. They are awesome and you’re totally missing out if you’re not getting your hair cut at Salon Glam!

I’ve been to this salon twice now, and I won’t be going back. The first time I scheduled an appointment, I spoke directly with the owner. She accessed my hair and we agreed on a price for a full foil. Because I was a first time customer, I was able to get a free haircut during my appointment. Everything came out great and I was happy with the color, happy with the cut, and happy with the price that I was quoted. Upon checkout however, the owner was no longer in the salon, and the receptionist charged me an additional $ 15 for a toner. (This additional cost was not discussed during my appointment whatsoever). Although the price was not what I was quoted, I paid the higher price and kept my mouth shut.
My second appointment was scheduled over the phone, but this time I opted not to have a toner OR a haircut. Considering I had less done on the second appointment, you would think that my price would be less. Logically thinking, this would make sense. It would make even more sense considering that on my second visit I also had a coupon for 20% off. Instead of paying less on my second visit, the price was exactly the same as my first appointment. Please tell me how you get less things done AND you have a coupon and yet the price is identical to the first visit.
When I expressed my frustration to the owner’s daughter (the owner was on vacation) she gave me nothing but attitude and excuses. Her first excuse was that my hair is long. Admittedly, my hair does reach halfway down my back, but my it’s the same length as it was 2 months ago. Then she tells me that she charged me an additional $ 10 to blow dry my hair? First of all, the hairdresser knew I was upset about the pricing BEFORE she dried my hair, so if she knew it was going to cost an extra $ 10, she should have mentioned that. Second of all, my hair was blow dried the first time and there was no extra charge then.
My problem with this salon is that 2 out of 2 visits, I have left feeling disappointed when it came time to pay. I imagine they never heard the saying that «the customer is always right.» Rather than listening to my frustrations and understanding that the prices made no sense, the daughter sat there rolling her eyes while other girls started chiming in and backing her up. I flat out told them how horrible their customer service was and rather than saying anything at all, she shrugged and ran my card.
I used to be a hairdresser, so all of this I could understand if it were handled better. The hidden costs should have been mentioned up front. The prices should have been consistent. The customer interaction should have been a lot more sympathetic and understanding. The work that the girls do is good, but either way, I won’t be going back.

When you sit down for a job interview, or anything that determines a bright future, what do you think they’ll look for first in your appearance? An amazing haircut. Few establishments within this world can provide a stellar hairdo, along with an enjoyable social experience; Salon Glam can! Trust me when I say that you will never regret a flawless haircut by these lovely ladies. Their outstanding skills are unstoppable, and just talking to them is the highlight of my day! If you want to look stunning, and add a couple gal pals to your roster, come to Salon Glam!

I really enjoy coming here! I met the ladies of Salon Glam when they sponsored an adoption event and fundraiser for PAWS (Philly Animal Welfare Society).
Metered street parking is usually available. It’s easy to park for free on side streets, too.
I have thick curly hair a bit below my shoulders that I am growing out several more inches. I’m always nervous to get my my ends/​long layers cleaned up, but I can trust Salon Glam to not hack off an inch of hair :-) I’ve been here twice to get cuts and they always end with a nice leave in conditioner or serum.
I also get my eyebrows waxed here, too. I have sensitive skin and haven’t had issues with excessive redness or over waxing. I don’t use any other services like color or styling, but I’d imagine those are great.
The prices are very reasonable. I think it’s about $ 40 for me to get a cut and eyebrow wax (with tip). They also offer hot tea, water, and wine. Such a nice touch! I’m looking forward to my next visit in a couple weeks.

Wow! I have been avoiding getting my haircut in Philadelphia for the 1.5 years I lived here and I finally gave Salon Glam a chance (versus waiting to go back home to my old stylist) and I AM GLAD THAT I DID.
Upon first entering, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The salon was bright, had a Keurig set up and wine offered. The ladies at the desk were super helpful and Nanci was willing to figure out a price point for me before I decided to add color to my cut (I did!)
I really LOVED how Nanci and her staff were clearly dedicated to their practice and their customers. The salon was clean, busy (but not understaffed), and had a warm/​welcoming environment.
April cut and colored my hair, lightening up my previous ombré and adding more color to my hair. She was very friendly and it was easy to hold a conversation with her while she worked her magic. These ladies were able to lighten my black hair to the lightest I have ever seen it get and the ombré simply looked PHENOMENAL. April even styled it, even past the closing time of the salon.
If the other employees weren’t busy, they were chatting up customers, ensuring they had a magazine, or drink if need be. It seemed like a big family (and I love that kind of atmosphere). You could tell that ALL of them were working in their «dream job».
Since I was the last customer, I really appreciated Nanci and April offering to walk me out towards Dupont St, since they were parked down that way, as well. That was really considerate.
I told them I would definitely be dragging my (picky) boyfriend back for a haircut and coming for their services while I live in the Philadelphia area.
FYI: Tips should be made in money, so stop by an ATM beforehand (though they were accommodating to me as a first timer)
The only recommendation I would make to Nanci is to put some prices up on her website — even though they were VERY willing to give me quotes over the phone. I will say that their prices were VERY FAIR considering the other prices I’ve seen around Manayunk/​Roxborough, and for an EXCELLENT service and experience.

Love this place! Joann has been cutting my hair for many years. I love her style and expertice. I can’t find a better place for my look! Thanks JoJo

It was my first time at the salon referred by a friend, and I had a wonderful experience! Nancie gave me a cut and color, and I love everything about my hair!

For years I was rolling the dice with the chain store hair cut places, frequently once you liked somebody there they would move on, and you would be with the next new graduate. Splitendz is not any more expensive and you get a friendly consistent staff, who do a good job. Plus its great atmosphere. I have been going there and bringing kids there for hair cuts. My wife was paying a lot more to have hair cut /​colored on main street, on whim decided to have hair done there last, by Christie, and now is also a convert. Easy free parking in lot on dupont street.

Split Endz is a great salon. I started going because of the convenience of it’s location to my house, but have continued going back because they do a nice job! It’s always a lively atmosphere inside, the stylists are friendly, and no one has ever gotten my hair as straight as Joanna does! A reasonably priced, non pretentious salon. what’s not to love. :)
