Salon Thalia

I HAD very long, boring and dead hair until I met Elle! I did not have much preference but I knew I needed a new style. I knew I wanted some natural yet noticeable and she did exactly that. The whole experience at the salon was amazing. Not only did Elle cut my hair but she «diagnosed» my hair and gave me the best tips on products and how to keep my hair from getting greasy. My hair has been the best it’s been in years since my experience at the salon! I highly recommend Elle if you want a new style!

I have very dark, wavy long hair and there are FEW people that I’d trust cutting my hair, let alone going blonde and getting it all chopped into a bob – except for Salon Thalia and Travis! I have been going to Salon Thalia for several years now. Prior to Salon Thalia, I had tried close to four other top hair salons in Center City alone. It is virtually impossible to get my hair to go blonde without having a reddish tint and still have it be healthy. Travis is one of the rare few in the industry that can accomplish such a transformation. I loved my blonde ombré and got so many compliments on the color and the health/​condition of my hair and even had referred several people to Salon Thalia as a result of my hair cut/​color. He not only gives an amazing cut and color, he will listen to you and collaborate to get you exactly what you envision and also offer a slew of take-​home tips like how to style, dry, product tips etc. to make sure your hair stays in top condition. Gina gives THE BEST washes/​head massages! Everyone from the front desk staff, to other stylists are so professional and genuine and warm. There are salons that simply provide the service for which you paid for that day, and there are salons that are true consultants and really take care of your hair. Travis, Gina and the rest of the staff are the latter.

I got my hair cut, colored and styled last night and I am IN LOVE! Elle is amazing!
The salon itself is beautiful. Great location. Great service. Elle was perfect, I’ve never had a «go-​to» salon before but thanks to Elle I now do. I went into the salon knowing I wanted to go darker and get a trim (aka cut my dead ends but I want to keep my long hair lol). Elle asked me some questions, got to know me a bit and came up with a brilliant color for my hair. Seriously I love it, and the cut itself is amazing. My hair looks so much healthier and it looks so well on me. I don’t know why I waited so long to update my look. I am beyond happy with the results and already pre-​booked my follow up appointment in a few months.

I’ve worked in the salon industry for 10+years and I am picky as they come when it comes to ‘mastering’ my hair cut and most importantly my blonde highlights.
I’m currently growing out an awesome cut that I wore for 3+ years. Time for a change!
On a whim, and trying to find a salon that was flexible and has late hours, I called Salon Thalia. I was booked an appointment with Justin for a haircut. Justin was awesome right from the start. He understood the importance of ‘cleaning up” my current style while allowing my hair to ‘transition’ into my new do’. Pretty much not taking too much off, yet taking out the weight out so I didn’t look like a Beatle.
We discussed color during my consultation and he knew right away what I needed in order for my style to ‘pop’. I was previously skimping on my highlights and I was in dire need to brigten them up. Pre-​booked before walking out the door and came back to Justin just a little over a month for highlights and a trim.
In the meantime, over the month I found a style and pretty drastic color change that I wanted to work towards. I got honest & positive feedback from Justin pertaining to this style and color. We went for it. Subtly – until my hair is fully grown out and ready for this color change.
I can’t say how pleased I am with my new highlights. They are brighter and have the perfect dimension with my existing color. LOVE IT! I’m so excited to work towards a new look with Justin!

A few weeks ago I had my hair highlighted and cut by Justin. My hair is absolutely gorgeous! I have dyed my hair different shades and colors and never have I received so many compliments nor have I loved it this much. When I came in he was very receptive and knew exactly the right questions to ask me to get me the hair results I was looking for. He also gave me a gorgeous cut. I could not of been happier with my experience here.

I am a loyal customer for 9 years of Chris Harrison.
Just got my haircut and coloring & highlights done from Chris.
As always his consistent with what ever you ask from him.
Can’t ask for a better hairdresser … :D

I had a great experience at Salon Thalia. My stylist, Chris Harrison just moved there and I am so, so glad I found him! My color always looks amazing and his cut and blow out is the best. PS — the shampoo and head massage was awesome too.

Chris Harrison, my awesomely talented stylist and colorist, just moved to Salon Thalia. Had a great first experience there. The space is bigger than it looks from outside. And the people were really nice and welcoming. As always, Chris gave me a perfect cut and blowout. Can’t wait to get my highlights next month!

Had a great experience at Salon Thalia with my stylist Chris Harrison and had to share. First off, Chris Harrison gives the best blow-​out in the city. Forget the blo dry bars and go to him– his signature «bombshell blowout» which is brush-​set perfection can be copied but not duplicated… And for me it lasts at least 5 days! (Which is great when I am traveling for work or weddings.) Next– love that Salon Thalia is so warm, friendly, relaxed and spacious. And it is wheelchair and stroller friendly– A total plus! After a stressful week it is so nice to sit back and have someone great cut and color my hair while I read a trashy magazine. Thanks to Chris and Salon Thalia for the great experience, see you next week for my next blow out!

People stop me on the street and ask me about my hair. My secret: Bryona! I’ve been going to Salon Thalia for nearly a year now and I adore her. Great color, cuts, and blow-​outs. And don’t event get me started on her amazing head massage…

Moved from the West Coast and had my hair cut for twenty years at Sassoon. Passed through eleven salons in this area in the last two years and finally found Andrew at Thalia. He was the first stylist to understand what I meant by a «precision cut.» Contrary to popular belief, cutting a man’s hair is more difficult that a woman’s. Since most stylist specialize in women’s hair it is almost impossible to find someone trained to cut a man’s hair.
If you want a really good cut try Andrew…

Love this place! I’ve been coming here for a year and a half and Sofia is the most talented stylist I have ever met. She has transformed my thick dry hair into luscious locks. She has very consistently provided me with the best color, cut and style I have ever experienced. And my hair is extremely difficult to work with! Everyone at Salon Thalia is very friendly. I used this salon for my wedding updo and the results were flawless! If you are searching for a hair salon for a wedding or special event look no further. Justin styled my wedding hair and it came out gorgeous and stayed in place throughout hours of dancing! I can not recommend this place highly enough. Love them!

Add me to the legion singing Bryona’s praises. I literally rushed home to write a review and that never happens.
So I got an awful shaggy pixie yesterday at Jean Madeline and I spent all of today fretting and NEEDING it fixed. But I had stuff to do till 630 and knew most salons closed at 7. I found Salon Thalia on Unilocal and decided to roll the dice. I needed this pixie FIXED.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Let me count the ways:
–Open, modern, relaxing atmosphere
–Kind and friendly people, literally everyone was so nice
–Open at 8 PM!!!
–The best damn scalp massage I’ve ever had
–The kindest, most enthusiastic, stylish and MAGIC WORKING stylist I’ve ever had – Bryona! She made me feel instantly comfortable, answered all my questions, listened to my rambling, asked when she cut to make sure it wasn’t too short, and intuitively fixed a helmet like haircut with precision and lots of… TEXTURE! (We stressed the importance of texture vs choppiness)
–Reasonable prices compared to other places I’ve been. Haircut shampoo and blowdry is 55+, and I’m used to 65+ at some high end salons that dont give HALF the personable and quality service. Havent had color yet, so cant speak to that but I’m betting it’s worth it!
–Amazing products, Bryona used a smoothing gloss on me that was BOSS
–Just…the feeling I got. I don’t have «a» salon, but this place was so nice, accommodating, understanding, and Bryona was so AWESOME, I might be able to just revisit. And it won’t kill my bank balance!
Seriously, just try it!

I went to Salon Thalia twice: once for a trim, and the other for a single process color with partial highlights. I chose to go to Salon Thalia because I wanted to try a salon close to my apartment. While the stylist who I went to both times was very nice, I don’t think I’ll be returning. The pricing is a little too expensive for my liking.
However, I love the Kérastase products and Phyto serum that were recommended to me.

Bryona, Bryona, Bryona!!! She is Bryolliant! I’m torn about writing this review because while she is seriously the best stylist I have ever had, I don’t want her to get so popular that it takes weeks to get an appointment. So why is she great? Well besides for being technically skilled, she has mad style and social skills! She listens, but she is also not afraid to make suggestions or gently tell you you may be making a huge freakin mistake. All this coupled with the fact that she is über cute, peppy and fun to be around make the hour seem like you are hanging out with a gf.

Salon Thalia is in the perfect location in Center City. Its clean, stylish, and everyone is super friendly! Bryona is my go to girl for up dos. Not only is she so sweet and adorable but she’s actually pretty good at hair too! I’ve been to her for a few weddings and each time people rave about my hair. I normally bring Bryona a few pictures of what I am looking for and she incorporates all of them into my updo. In addition to doing a fabulous job, I truly look forward to my appointments with Bryona because they are filled with a lot of laughs!

I am clueless when it comes to hair and makeup, so when I scheduled my engagement photo shoot, I also scheduled a basic makeup and blowout appointment here for that afternoon. Leanna was patient and able to turn my vague instructions of needing something that would look natural and photograph well into exactly that. She also tried to teach me some basic make-​up lessons while applying mine– much appreciated! Will definitely return if I have any further photo shoots in my future.

Best haircut and balayage ever. I’m going to miss Justin at Salon Thalia. He has been the best stylist I’ve ever had. I’ve gone to Salon Thalia about 5 or 6 times over the last year or so and have recommended Justin to 10+ of my friends and they have gone to him as well. He is a great listener and provides feedback on my ideas for my hair. He is the one who actually suggested I do a balayage when I was bored with my hair and didn’t want to commit to an ombré or do highlights. I was so happy I tried it! I have received so many compliments from people and many of my friends are trying balayage now. So sad that I’m moving back to SF, I’m definitely going to miss Justin!

Salon thalia is great!
the salon itself is clean, spacious, and a relaxing place to be. The folks at the front desk are friendly, patient and very helpful! thanks guys (: I’ve seen a few of the stylists here and have had positive experiences each time. Last time i was in i saw bryona and she did an amazing job with my cut and color. It was a tedious process, but she gave me the exact color and cut i wanted. Definitely go to salon thalia if you want to have amazing hair done by awesome people!

I bounced around from salon to salon for 7 years in Philly never really happy with the results… Until I found Bryona at Salon Thalia
The first time she gave me such a fantastic cut and blowout I was amazed that my hair could look that good. I was pretty tired from work that day and not feeling too chatty. She picked up on that, got me a few magazines and left me to them while she worked her magic. At the end she gave me tips on how to manage/​style my hair and what products would work for me. She didn’t push any products on me though.
I was so impressed with my first experience that I asked Bryona to cut off about 12 inches of my hair for a rather short cut at only my second visit. I haven’t had short hair in more than 10 years, so this was a big change but I just trusted Bryona. I showed her a picture and she gave me exactly what I was looking for. It’s been a couple weeks now and I still love my hair.
Unfortunately I found Salon Thalia and Bryona just before moving away from Philly. I’ve never been so sad to leave a stylist.
