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

My experiences with Philadelphia salons over the years have been lukewarm. Having worked with a top stylist in the salon industry for a number of years, my expectations are high.
Chris Harrison never disappoints, he is the real deal...talented and professional.
My color is always perfection. Chris even called me at home a few days before my wedding to make sure that I loved my hair.
Best of all, Chris makes it fun!
Pros: fabulous color
Cons: none

I've eaten here over a dozen times and I still love it as much as the first. If you're going to dine here, get the omakase and be sure to get the $120 because the $80 one will just get you the pedestrian stuff you see on the menu. I was here last night and the place was packed (on a wednesday!). If I didn't make my reservation for 8:15 I would've had to make it for 9:30 as all the spots were booked. I love the toro tuna tartare, the yellowtail carpaccio, the oysters, the kampachi salad, the 8 spice lobster, the kobe beef sirloin, the sushi, and even my apricot pound cake. Yeah, can you tell this is what I had last night? Awesome awesome!!! Five stars all the way.
Pros: the food
Cons: very noisy

One of my favorite places in Philly. I say "places" rather than hair salons, because I leave Ultra feeling better not just about my hair but about life in general. The atmosphere is kitschy-cool and impeccably clean, they play music good enough for the stylists to sing to, they serve coffee in mugs with images that change as they cool, and Sharon and Kristen have incredibly positive outlooks on life. Of course, they also do great hair. I've gone to Kristen three times and she gives my straight hair the perfect amount of layering and angles (enough to give it body and style without it looking too funky - which is exactly what I ask for).
Pros: love thats in my neighborhood!
Cons: cash only- no cards

The lower level wine cellar eating area is so warm and inviting, yet is classy and sophisticated at the same time. The food is prepared expertly and the table side Caesar salad presentation is entertaining with a most delicious result. This is a great place for an anniversary or other very special meal. Try the Salmon Granato for a different and delicious treat!

I'd never been to this restaurant and was invited to attend a surprise birthday for a friend. A party bus picked us all up in Maryland where we live and took us for the hour drive to Bistro Romano.
I have some photos posted here on my blog but Citysearch does not permit me to post the URL. You can see them perhaps by googling Chronicles of a Country Girl super fun happy (it's what I named the post).
A section had been reserved for our party of 22, downstairs near the intimate wine cellar room. We were given a set menu to order from and I chose the Chicken Putanesca. My only complaint is that the caesar salad, so widely touted, was very much on the wilted side with too much dressing. The flavor was still incredible but it was just a tad disappointing. The Putanesca was divine, as were the roasted vegetables. We enjoyed a layered birthday cake and the coffee was excellent. One of the best cups of coffee I've been served in a restaurant, quite frankly. The atmosphere was unique. Superior service.
Pros: Ambiance, service, meal

I have been seeing Caitlin for years. She helped me grow my hair back after it was all cut off. She is very fast with the blowdryer. I have thick hair, and other sylists take forever to dry it. She makes it more beautiful in half the time. She can instantly identify color problems and correct them. She is good for anyone, but I think especially good for those of us of a certain age. She does wonderful, fashion forward, yet age appropriate cuts. I also love the rest of the staff there!
Pros: great cuts, color, conversation
Cons: can usually find street parking
