9 reviews for East End Salon
so i'm terrible about hair maintenance--i'm the twice yearly hair cut kinda gal.
east end is located several houses down from the betsy ross house. it's cute, in that shabby chic kind of way. i could totally sit on a couch and read a magazine for hours there.
despite my neck hurting from the hair-washing bin, i didn't mind it because there was a giant skylight and i got to watch the clouds go by. rob was my stylist. there's something very cool when someone has green and yellow argyle pattern tattooed on their arm. and so he snipped away... and now i have shiny, voluminous hair.
total cost? $45. rock on. (and the best part? he'll trim your bangs for free between cuts!)
I find Yelp a bit lacking in the Men's Haircut Review category, so I'm adding my two cents here and wherever else I get my hair cut before settling down with one stylist.
I came to East End last Friday for an appointment I made the day before with Terri. Here's what I found.
Pros
-Technically excellent haircut..
-Professional - I was offered Tea!
-Quick!!! - if you need the job done fast, East End can do it.
Cons
-Pricey - at $50 plus tip, this was more than I expected to pay, particularly since the prices quoted on the website are lower (with the *asterisk saying they could change at any point without notice, so don't get uppity).
-Quick!!! - I can't comment on the female experience, or whether this would change with repeat visits, but my appointment went insanely fast. I was washed, clipped and styled inside of 18 minutes (I actually checked my watch to measure this exactly because I couldn't believe I was back on the street as quickly as I was.) I'm not sporting a complicated do at present, but at such prices, I would have hoped for something a little more special feeling - this was like a machine wash.
Very cute salon--definitely has potential but left here very unimpressed. I went in for a wash and style and came out looking like I got trapped in a wind tunnel. Looking at the reviews this place may be OK for a haircut but I wouldn't recommend coming in for any special occassions.
best haircut of my life! exactly what I asked for. Michael did a FLAWLESS job on the layers. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The whole staff is super cool and will help you with all your product needs as well.
I had appointments with Lorenz here at East End salon on a few occasions & he is absolutely amazing!! He takes real pride in his work & you will not walk out the door let down. He definitely knows what he is doing with your hair & the workmanship shows.
Initially I went in for a consultation. Something drastic needed done with my hair! We had a chat & I decided I wanted to get extensions. Everything was explained to me very clearly on how we would get my vision to actually be - it would not be just a one step process. I left with a definite plan to put into motion.
First I went in for a color correction. My hair is a natural dark brown but I came in with mega brown roots, an auburn base, blonde highlights, blonde chunks, & purple chunks. Yeah, a crazy head of hair to be sure. That needed to be fixed up back to my normal shade before actually installing the extensions. Lorenz took great care to not only get my back to my natural shade, but to not fry my hair during the process & make the end product still look better than just your "average" natural brown look. After everything was said & done & was extremely happy with my hair! It looked amazing & I received a ton of compliments.
Shortly thereafter my extension hair was ordered & Lorenz set up a time with me to have the extensions put in. His process is quick & painless. I was surprised at how quickly it was all said & done - I think I was actually in the salon longer for the color correction. No glue or heat fusing is used which I thought was great as I personally am not at all comfortable with the idea of having anything glued or heat bonded to my own hair, no matter how many chichi celebs endorse it. After all the extensions had been put in & Lorenz trimmed it all up a little so it & my natural hair worked together better & I was really impressed with his work. I couldn't just have monochrome color extensions of course, & Lorenz really had an eye for making natural & unnatural color work together. The look is both glam & funky. Very fun!
I know I'll be returning to him in the future & am confident no matter what I go in for, I'll leave happy. From my own personal experience I would definitely recommend Lorenz for pretty much anything hair-related, he did amazing job on color, cut & extensions.
I went there about two years ago for a hair cut. I'm one of those people who just tends to let it grow out until it is halfway down my back before I get it cut. Yeah, I know, I should grow up and get it cut more often.
I don't remember the name of the woman who cut my hair, but with the instructions, "Cut it any way you want as long as I can put it in a ponytail" she did something marvelous to my hair. I got a lot of compliments, including a jaw-drop from an ex-boyfriend, which was totally worth it.
It is time for another hair cut, and time to call East End.
Only place I go for cut and color. So not pretentious and definitely more afforable than the "frou frou" places! :)
after going through endless trials and errors with different salons in philly, lorenz at east end is the only one i stuck with. even after i left philly, i still save my haircuts for my visits back home with lorenz. you can give him specific directions or just say do anything and he is no fail.
definitely a classy place. pretty expensive, but did a great job with hair color. i never could get into the haircuts though, and for that price, it just wasn't worth it.
