Eh

My very first visit to Head Area had me in the chair with Lauren. She was rather arrogant and I did not feel welcomed in the least. My cut was fine, however, my highlights were co...

Best salon, hottest people. 7/25/2006

Amazing amazing amazing. There are so many ""hair stylists"" or ""hair designers"" in Philadelphia, but no one I would call an artist. These people are artists. Doesn't matter which chair you sit in you, you will leave happy and confident that you are in good hands. Pros: truely artistic Cons: I will not be able to get an appointment after the secret of this great salon is out. more

Best Hair ANYWHERE, be it London, Paris, or New York! 7/25/2006

This salon is a small gem that is placed in the back of a beautiful store. Stepping into this delightful salon, you should never have a fear that you will be leaving unhappy. The stylings of Lee put you at ease. Just watching his fingers move around your head is an art just in itself. His peaceful demeanor, British wit, charm, and concentration let you know that you are in the works with a pro. Jojo, ""The Color and Cut Queen"", gives your hair its undivided attention. Her style and her attention to detail is remarkable. Jojo is always up for a challenge and loves to be creative. I have put this poor girl through the ringer going from black to blond to brown and my hair is as healthy as can be and beautiful! This stylist is a triple threat to the beauty industry with her amazing make-up skills as well. Watching Steven cut hair is remarkable. I have never seen a more straight line being cut. He is steady, brilliantly creative, and really has a passion for what he does. If you don't know who to have cut your hair, worry not that any of artisans will let you walk out looking anything less than beautiful. Pros: great environment, and everyone there has great hair. more

quite simply an enjoyable experience 7/13/2006

Lee actually listens to you and to what hair style you want and works on your hair all the while he's concentrating on how to make your hair look its best. Best of all, he can be disarmingly quiet as he does this, giving the impression that you are having your hair done by someone who cares about the quality of his work. He doesn't intrude into your emotional space with warmed-over opinions or clichees that pass for an attempt at making a superficially deep enough connection so that you will think he is ""personable"". He's just concerned about getting your hair right. This doesn't mean he isn't a ""nice"" guy. He genuinely is, he just doesn't have to prove it to you. I detect an underlying note of ambition in his character as well as resolve and for those reasons expect his new salon will do well. Why not? He's talented and doesn't miss a trick! I'd very much like that his new venture remains a secret for a while longer so that it doesn't become a garganuan scheduling effort to get an appointment with him. But I suspect that won't be the case. Pros: the people and their joy in doing their work Cons: no windows makes the salon a little constrained. more
