Makeup in Philadelphia

“I had a wonderful experience with Amirra at Adorn You Beauty Spa. She was very pleasant, informative and answered all of my questions with patience and kindness. I am very pleased with the service I received, and plan on going back again, and sending my friends to her as well.“

“From original emails to wedding day JM & Co. was the best!! Jacqueline answered emails promptly and was always very pleasant (even with my millions of questions). They offer a hair and makeup trial and set it up with the stylists who you’ll be working for on your big day! Sara and Alicia were the hair and makeup dream team!! I really felt like the most beautiful bride! Alma and Becca were also fantastic! All four of these ladies made everyone feel their best and gave everyone exactly what they wanted all while keeping great timing ! I highly recommend!!“

“I’ve been going to Johnny for almost 20 years, and he’s the only person I fully trust to cut or shape my hair. Every cut I’ve had with him has grown out beautifully, and my hair always feels healthier in the months that follow.

What sets Johnny apart is his honesty & expertise —he always shares what will suit you best while honoring your vision. I’m a forever fan and loyal customer! The salon itself is gorgeous. After a few years on the West Coast, I’m so happy to be nearby again!“

“Dana, the business owner, went above and beyond in making sure I was ready for my big day. She was always very communicative and offered advice when I had questions. When I wasn't sure if my hotel would have enough space to get ready in for my wedding, she coached me on alternative options and started going on AirBnB herself to find me a place that would work. The hotel ended up working out, but I could tell that Dana genuinely cared / felt responsible for ensuring I had an amazing wedding day experience. Her professionals who did hair and makeup for me, bridesmaids, and the moms were great and everyone looked incredible! It was super hot and humid and we were crying (happy tears haha) so much, and the makeup survived it all! You can't go wrong with Beautiful Brides. Seriously. (Also, very reasonable prices!!!)“

“Architeqt Salon is absolutely amazing! The whole team is professional, welcoming, and friendly. Biray is both skillful and personable, and he did a phenomenal job with my cut and style—I couldn’t be happier!“

“I love VRB and highly recommend going. It took me forever to find a beauty place that I trusted with my skin, especially coming from Australia. Victoria always takes the best care of me and has really helped my skin. She customizes the facial to what my skin needs at that time and she is able to fix my breakouts. The salon is very beautiful so going in is so relaxing and always makes my day! I also get my manicures done with Karina and she is fantastic - my nails last 4 weeks and are healthy and strong. You must try it!“

“Get your hair done by Drew. The only problem you’ll have is constantly getting stopped by strangers in the street to give you compliments“

“CURE de Repos is a beautiful boutique spa - Chrissy, Elle and the team were warm and welcoming, I felt like I was in my own private luxury oasis with the infrared spa, cold plunge pool, and the facial was just wonderful, leaving my skin glowing and feeling like glass. The treatments are also quite affordable, and excellent value for money, especially compared to hotel spas in the city. They have locations in Chestnut Hill and Ardmore. Definitely need to make reservations and definitely will come back again!“

“to preface, i am extremely difficult to please when it comes to my hair. before coming to headhouse, i have never once left a salon fully happy with my cut or color. but for the past two years i’ve been seeing shannon religiously for cut, color, and great lengths extensions and have been absolutely thrilled with my hair every single time. shannon is a perfectionist but somehow manages to make it look easy and knows just what to ask to nail exactly what you want and then make it ten times better.
regarding the salon itself, they cater to you the way you would expect from any high-end salon but without all the pretentiousness and at a price point that is actually reasonable. and while i’ve never seen someone other than shannon for my hair, i’ve convinced three friends to also go to headhouse who have seen other stylists due to scheduling, and have also been happy and have become loyal clients too. everyone there is amazing and makes a really fun experience out of something that i used to dread (special shoutout to alexis at the front desk for all of your hard work, personality and ~immaculate vibes~ in general).
okay, i think that’s it, thanks for attending my ted talk!

tl;dr: go to headhouse or have bad hair and be sad about it??‍♀️“

“Elise is an amazing brow expert! She is a well seasoned professional in the beauty industry that provides amazing service tailored to her clients. I recently had a brow lamination and waxing service provided by Elise. She walked me through the entire process and made me feel comfortable. The results from the lamination and brow wax were great! I received many compliments from my friends and family! I will definitely be visiting Elise again!“

“Jazmin and Katherine provided stellar makeup for me and my squad on my wedding day. Jazmin is very easygoing and responsive to your desires and vision. As a minimal makeup-wearer myself, figuring out makeup for myself let alone 8 other people was a bit overwhelming, but Jazmin made the process simple and helped me to feel at ease. Her packages are flexible and she offers competitive rates. You can also change your plan as your needs change for makeup! On the day of my wedding, Jazmin was super supportive while I was in her chair and best yet, my face held up all night and through lots of tears. I would use her again if I were to do my day over (in my dreams!)“

“The team at Aleksandra Ambrozy is top-notch and was so wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning journey! I booked hair and makeup services for myself and 8 others for my wedding, and Ali, Cori, Olga, and Sophia did an amazing job. All four of our artists were not only professional, but also so kind, positive, and lovely to hang out with (which is what you need the morning of your wedding!). Everything ran smoothly schedule-wise, and everyone looked and felt gorgeous all day! I highly recommend their services.“

“I got my hair colored and cut with Smadi, and she was able to give me exactly what I asked for! I’m was looking to get a brightened but blended blonde balayage. We spent time talking and looking at inspiration pictures so she had a clear idea of what I wanted. I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I also really liked the salon, very clean, and the owner came down and checked on us as well. I will definitely be going back, so glad I found Smadi!“

“Fabulous place. Always friendly, responsive and quick to accommodate your schedule. Gives excellent cuts at reasonable prices.“

“I recently got married in Philadelphia. I found Bella Angel through The Knot when looking for hair and makeup. I live in NJ so their locations in both Cherry Hill and Philadelphia were very convenient. I had a trial about 3 months prior to my wedding with Michele and it went great. The makeup was perfect and I kept it the same for my wedding day. I ended up deciding pretty last minute to change my hair up and showed her a new picture on my actual wedding day and she did amazing. Ten of us got our hair and makeup done - me, my mom and mother-in-law, my 6 bridesmaids, and my sister-in-law. Everyone could not have been happier with their hair and makeup. It stayed perfect throughout the day and night. We worked with Michele, Bobbi, and Tiffany and they were fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“Check out Timeless Extensios the atmosphere is inviting and has a positive vibe that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. My hairstylist Jazz, is amazing. She's is genuinely passionate about hair care and making sure your hair is healthy. She takes her time to understand what your hair goals are and give useful hair care tips. My hair has never looked or felt better. Highly recommend!“

“Ursula is a superstar! Her studio is clean. Her work is consistent and subtle. You will walk out looking like a slightly better version of yourself.“

“Cristina did an outstanding job with my makeup. So natural looking and yet glamorous!
She is truly a professional that I would highly recommend.“

“Thank you Kim for my new look. I've had a blunt bob style for 10 years. I was looking for something new. I found it here. Even my husband who never notices a change, complimented me.“

“For my 1st time getting my hair braided Rene made me feel so comfortable. Thank you so much Rene for your expertise in braiding my hair. Thank you for being patient and answering my questions. Your salon is beautiful. I'm so happy I decided to pick you. ????“

“First time at Flo's. Loved the neighborhood vibe. Flo and her staff are amazing. I got a cut, color and highlights. This look is everything! Thank you so much“

“What a welcome surprise my first experience at Salon Norman Dee was! From Jen who greeted me at the front desk to Christy, owner and outstanding colorist, to Patty who gave me the exact cut and blow dry I was hoping for, my experience was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! I cannot wait to go back…the salon is upscale and filled with the talented wonderful people who work there.“

“Always a great experience! Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. Quick and thorough In and out service. Love coming here!“

“I've been coming here for years and I'm so impressed how they've continued to innovate and improve. I love the new modern look with the same trusted care. Phyllis has truly taken this spa to the next level with seamless booking and processing. Now onto the facial itself. OMG much needed. My face was breaking out SO bad. Worse than my teenage acne! It's because I fly every week for work and have not been taking care of my skin. I walked out glowing knowing every spot every pore every breakout has been addressed. Excited for the recovery and new young skin growth. Oh p.s Alice did my facial. She is amazing! I love the relationship I developed with her and am looking forward to our next session together.“
