One of Philip James Salon's Favorite Reviews What's This?
I have to agree with all the reviews. I came here years ago and am so happy to return.
The stylist I had was great and very responsive to my suggestions.
I love the atmosphere too...the music is also great...
I love it all and I'll be back.
Nicely done!
I read all the reviews posted here before my haircut last Tuesday, and I was not lead astray! This place is great. My hair was cut by Tonya, who did exactly what I asked, was polite and friendly--but didn't attempt to make too much awkward small talk--something I hate doing while having my hair done because i just like to zone out and imagine the dye seeping into my scalp- yeah i'm weird. Anyway, the color and cut came out perfect, and although it wasn't cheap ($113) it seemed like a fair price for my all-over color, and cutting my long hair. I will definitely be going back!
The manger-type person whose name I didn't catch was also extremely laid-back and friendly, he and Tonya consulted before picking which color to go with for my dye, and he really seemed to know his shit!
This place is a great place to get your hair done. I went there to get a color and extensions and I came out extremely pleased. Not only do they do a great job, but the atmosphere is very down to earth. By going to Philip James Salon you're able to get the results of a high end salon with a family type atmosphere. I highly recommend Jimmy-he does a great job!

I swear that I look thinner after I go to this place for them to cut my hair.
It is a few blocks east of the Diversey El-station.
The people there are friendly and remember your name, sometimes cross-chair conversations even ensue. You sit in the chair and NEVER feel rushed. They take their time to do your hair correctly. Everyone there is gentle during both the wash and the cut. I have been using them for at least 8 years and they make my old head of hair look presentable, even good! Philip James has true pros who really know what they are doing. There is no pressure to buy extra stuff, but it's there if you want it.
I disagree with Nicholle a little bit, I wouldn't say "family" atmosphere, because that implies that kids' stuff is there. While I know they are happy to do childrens' cuts, I would just say that it is a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with no pretension, but I wouldn't expect a toybox there for the kids. Sometimes, if you are lucky, a well-behaved dog may greet you at the door too. If you like the art on the walls, you probably can buy it for a reasonable price, the owner of Philip James knows the artist :).
Be sure to call ahead, sometimes "day-of" appointments are a little tough to get.
