Best Facial 9/7/2007

Polina is the best! She knows how to make you feel like the queen you know you are. She gave me the best facial I have ever had. I have had facials in L.A., New York, Miami, and Europe...she by far is top on my list. She can fix any skin problem you have. I will not go to anyone but her. She also did my eyebrows, which at first were uneven and not flattering. One appointment with her and I looked and felt like a new women! I recomend her to men and women! Pros: Very Friendly Staff more

Best Hair cut and color 8/21/2007

I recently moved here from California and had to leave behind my hairstylist who I loved. Since I've been on the east coast I've tried a few places for hair cuts, color and nails and for the most part I have not been happy, and then I met Bruce Slemmer thanks to Citysearch. I read all the excellent reveiws and I was sold. I called and Bernedette the owner gave me all the prices and information and I felt very good from that point on. Last Thursday I spent the whole day at Pileggi on The Square getting serviced from head to toe. The salon is very nice and the employee's are very friendly and professional. I started with a pedicure and complete set of gel nails with Connie. She is awesome! Connie is very professional, and did a great job and was fun to spend time with. Next it was time for Bruce. He looked at the shape of my face and skin tone and told me what he wanted to do. Bruce is also very professional and I made another friend! My hair looks so beautiful! I have the best color and highlights that I've ever had. The cut is perfect. I have straight fine hair and it now it's full and has movement to it. He's a genius! Oh, and Kelly who washed my hair was great. She gives a nice head message. My last stop was with Polina to have my eyebrows waxed. I had a fun time with her and again made another new friend. She is an expert at brows. As you can see I highly recommend this salon and I look forward to my next visit. Thank you Bruce, Connie, Polina and thank you Bernedette for having such a great team. Pros: Everything was great more

bad attitudes, and worse hair 8/12/2007

I recently went to Pileggi on the Square, and was disgusted by what i found. As soon as i entered i was given an attitude by the woman at the desk, who i assume to be the owner. After that i waited for about 30 mins for my stylist , and after all that my hair didn't even look that good. I do not reccomend this place to anyone. Pros: none Cons: everything more

DO NOT GO FOR WEDDINGS 8/5/2007

Jeff Is Awesome! 6/29/2007

I would follow Jeffrey anywhere to ensure I always have great looking hair--and I do, I travel from NYC to Philadelphia to have my hair done. Finding the right hair stylist is often a daunting task. I have\r extremely thick hair probably five times the amount of most. Its has always been a struggle for me to find someone who can do what I ask and do it well. Now I have found him! Jefferey cuts my hair with ease\r He suggests new ideas and ways to improve my hair and executes them better that I could ever imagine. I have referred all of my friends and family to Jeff. He has given them all amazing and unique to their style cuts and color. The color he does always looks flawless never brassy or unnatural. He sincerely wants to please you and wants to feel certain you love what he has done. Not to mention he is very personable, friendly, and professional. I have found the perfect hair stylist! more

Best Color 6/18/2007

This past year I was on a mad hunt for a colorist and I found the BEST! Bruce took my too dark hair and has made it the most gorgeous, vibrant, and shiny color ever. I suggest that anyone looking for great hair color check him out ASAP. Bruce I want to thank you once again. more

Amazing Hair Stylist 4/8/2007

I have been looking FRANTICALLY for someone who could manage my curly locks, and give me natural yet noticeable highlights. I read on here that Bruce Slemmer was amazing, and had experience with curls, and I was NOT let down! He was not only friendly and professional, but he is a major perfectionist and absolutely loves what he does. And it shows! This haircut is the best I have ever had, and my color is amazing. The first thing my boyfriend said when he saw me was ""Wow"". Trust me, this time he noticed I got my hair done. Pros: Bruce, receptionists, atmosphere, neighborhood Cons: none! more

Highly Recommend Jeffrey 4/7/2007

I have been going to Jeffrey for 4 years and will follow him anywhere. He Is the most talented colorist and cutter I have ever been to. He keeps himself educated on trends and styles and it shows through his work. He gives my husband the best haircuts he's ever had too. Not only is he an excellent hairdresser he has a great, down to earth personality. I love this salon too, everyone was so nice and its a great atmosphere. Beautiful! Great fit for me and stylist! more

Not what it used to be 3/22/2007

I went to Pileggi about 4 years ago and had my hair cut and colored. It was great. I returned to phila. about a week ago and decided to give it another go. While my haircut and highlights were very average the service I recieved was in a word unpleasent. I am very upset by my experience. Pros: beautiful building and location Cons: service more

Bruce Slemmer is the BEST hair sylist in Philly!!!!! 2/19/2007

Considering I formally was a bartender in every hot club in the city, it would be no surprise that I have went to every hot, trendy, hair salon to have have my hair done at one time or another. I have even had hairdressers offer to do my hair at no cost because he or she wanted patrons to inquire on who was styling my hair. It was not until a year ago, when i walked into Piileggi, and finally met a hairstylist named Bruce, who absolutely changed the way I look, and most importantly the way i feel about my hair. People chase me down the street and ask me which salon i go to get it done. I cannot tell you what I get complimented on more, my cut or my color. However,I can tell you this I LOVE MY HAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! Not to mention, he explained to me in the simplist form on how to style it myself!! My hair has never looked better. I feel I owe this review to him because I am so happy with his work--remember this: you get what you pay for and he is worth every cent!!! more

Where did Cynthia Peditto go? 2/4/2007

My fiance and I have been going to Pileggi On The Square for just a short time and we just love it! The thing is...my fiance had his hair cut fantastically by Cynthia Peditto, and sometime since his last cut she left and we have no idea where she went! If anyone knows, please tell me! We'd be forever grateful! Meanwhile, I've been seeing Michael and he is just the absolute best!!! I highly highly recommend him to anyone who needs to learn their own hair and get control of it once and for all! more

Bruce is great! 11/20/2006

Today I walked in with a head full of jet black hair and walked out a nice blonde with a cute haircut, thanks to Bruce and everyone else at Pileggi. While not everyone can expect similar results, you can expect Bruce to stop at nothing to get you to look your absolute best and go FAR beyond your expectations. Everyone at Pileggi was very kind,courteous and attentive. I am very grateful that I stumbled into Pileggi, I will not go anywhere else! Pros: Bruce! more

BRUCE is simply AMAZING 11/18/2006

I have been to plenty of ""top"" salons and was sick and tired of wasting my money and settling for haircuts and colors that I was not happy for. Eventually I just started to believe that there were just no hair stylist that could do exactly what I had showed them to do. ( I always bring pictures of what I want) I finally did some research and heard that Bruce from Peliggi was a magnificent hair stylist. I honestly didnt believe he could do much better then all the other ""top"" salons that say they have the best stylist. I hated the fact that I was probably going to waste money again on hair color but I figured what can I lose besides the plenty of money Ive already wasted? Let me tell you, I finally realized that Bruce is the only hair stylist that knows what he is doing. Everytime I walk out of there, I am so amazed at his work, I can not believe the results I get with him. I promise you, if you know what you want and you go to Bruce you will walk out of there looking better than the celebrity in the magazine picture you show him!! I will never go to another hair stylist ever again !! There is nobody out there that could top his work! Now that I have experienced Bruce, there is not way I could even think of going to anyone else! They will never in a milion years make me look this good! Pros: Bruce! Cons: paying for parking! more

Best Hair Salon in Philly, Friendly, Courteous, and obviously HOT!!! 10/22/2006

I work in Center City Philly and always walk by Pileggi on the square on my lunch break. I MUST admit I am vain and my hair is one of my MOST important assets. I decided to make an appointment at Pileggi's to get a cut, color and style. Well, my hair stylist was Jessica, a HOT italian goddess who was so nice, friendly, respectful and courteous. I went in for a hair cut and received a MAKEOVER, I mean heads turn when I walk down the street, but after Jessica was done I wanted to go out for a night on the town because I REALLY LOOKED GOOD. I told Jessica I loved my hair and would be back next month. I would recommend Pileggi on the square to my family, friends, and co-workers and told them to make sure they request Jessica as their stylist. more

A Five Star Salon! Excellent customer service. 10/5/2006

I have been going to the same salon for the past 9 months while living in Philadelphia. After hearing so much about Pileggi on the square, I had to see what all the hype was about and I was very surprised. Pileggi on the Square makes you feel like you are right at home when you walk through the door for your very first time. I have not witnessed such hospitality in a salon. Jessica, was very friendly and did a great job with customer service, not to mention how she handled the appointment and the haircut. I highly recommend Pileggi on the Square to those of you who are looking for a salon. You will be very, very pleased. Pros: Ambience, friendly customer service more

Amazing Stylist 8/13/2006

I recently went to Bruce at Pileggi on the Square. I walked into the salon with a stick straight, nothing working for me, mousy-brown hair style, and walked out happier than ever with a new cut that added tons of body, and golden caramel highlights that looked completely natural. Bruce's professionalism and expertise was incredible, and I haven't walked out of a salon as satisified as I was with him. This guy knows his stuff and loves what he does-and it shows more

Not worth the comute. 8/1/2006

I have been looking for a new salon since my hairdstylist moved a year ago. Through a recomendation I decieded to try Pileggi's. Coming from Jersey getting there was a nightmare!! After sitting there waiting for 45 min. along with the very ""cocky"" greeting I recieved I was more than disgusted. I will not be returning. That was my first and last visit. I am also a stylist? who was last known to be working at salon on 4th. My name is Ellen and I am CRAZY. I leave fake reviews for other salons too. This salon or anyone can just log on to the negs and use the password citygirl. I don't know what is wrong with me but at least you can clean up you review. Pros: N/A Cons: Parking/reception more
