Alice has been cutting my hair for many years. I first discovered her at the Saturn Club on Penn's campus and recommended she move to Helen's Hair House (inside the Maloney Building of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania) when Saturn Club closed. I originally went to Alice because she was known at the Saturn Club as the stylist who was the most experienced, would listen well, and would be easy to work with while figuring out a new style for my hair. She trained in NYC and knows how to do dry cuts amazingly well. My hair is wavy and when my hair is dry she can tell where the little flips are and cut the hair appropriately! The cost is really affordable -- and cheaper than Center City. I highly recommend her!!!

Alice is amazing; she is so sweet and she cut my hair perfectly how I wanted it. I had a great time talking to her during the appointment. She knows how to handle curly, and wavy hair and also is great at modern mens cuts too, including the flow/mullets. For all college students out there this is a great place to get your haircut!

Alice is great! Love coming by and very happy with the results! The prices are very fair, I get to hear interesting things, I get tips on my hair, and it’s directly on Penn campus. I haven’t worked with any of the other stylists yet so can’t comment on them but everyone seems kind. Thank you, Alice, I appreciate you!!

Alice, you are a gifted hairstylist. I’m absolutely in love with my haircut. All around great experience. Great banter, quick, and incredibly talented work. Throughly enjoyed the consultation and advice before any cutting was done. We cut off a lot of hair and I have no regrets. Thank you!

A somewhat difficult to find salon that pleasantly surprised me with the service provided. Alice is great- she walked me through different options and helped me achieve a look that I hadn't necessarily expected, but ended up loving. It's also relatively affordable, especially given the level of expertise offered by the stylist.

I called to book a haircut, and when I gave Alice my name, which is just two simple syllables, and doesn’t have any difficult pronunciations, she laughed with a co-worker while still on the phone and asked if I had an easier name she could write down.

I'm alittle biased because I've worked with one of the stylists here but if you ever need a good haircut and good conversation, Lisa is fun to talk to and super sweet. Everytime I see her, we always talk about trips we've taken or are going to be taking. And she's good with hair detail.

Alice did a remarkable job with my hair. The cut & color was reasonably priced. It looks really good. I’m very pleased. She was so kind and pleasant and was able to accommodate me while staying at the Ronald McDonald House which was wonderful. The salon is also not far from the Ronald McDonald house so I was able to walk to & from without a problem which was a plus.Hair type: I have naturally curly hair but I straighten it.Stylist: Alice was my stylist and she was absolutely wonderful.
