Pamper Yourself
“The best beauty care and hair cut I have had in a long time. My stylist checks in with me following my appointments to see how my cut is working out for me. A separate stylist gave me a blow out that was exactly what I wanted. This is an actual spa experience tailored to your desires. My stylist consulted with me extensively before moving forward on a major change. I felt confident in her expertise when I finally decided to do it. LGBTQIA friendly.”

I don’t live close by but have made a special trip to come here because every time I do, they always do an excellent job. Even their hairstylists just starting out in their career do such a good job and the more experienced hairstylists give them extra support. They also have great customer service.

Philosophi is an amazing, welcoming salon where you are guaranteed to get your moneys worth and more. Danielle has been doing my hair for less than a year, but already in that time I can tell you that I will never let another person touch my head. She’s the best! Every time my vision comes to life, and even I even trust giving her complete creative control. They don’t try to obsessively upsell you or sell products, which I really appreciate because I enjoy a no pressure experience. It’s always a treat to go there because I know not only will my hair be treated with the utmost care, I can also count on great conversation and good vibes!

I received a haircut from Madison — who is an apprentice at the salon — and am very satisfied with the results! Another stylist (Brittany) had to approve the work and touched it up a little bit, but they took my opinions into account and Madison even followed up with me to check on the haircut after a few days.
I also really like their system of going over your preferences using a form in the beginning of the appointment. It clarifies expectations and helped to ease my worries.
The check in and check out process was a little strange, but I would definitely go back! They also validate garage parking here.

Carmela was so nice and helpful and my hair turned out perfect. I wanted to make my grown out highlights subtle but still noticable and they look great! She also does a great blowout!!

Both Danielle and Jax took such good care of me after I had received a bad color and cut at another salon. I left much happier and am grateful they took the time to listen and remedy the problem I came in with. I will definitely be back!

Thank you Carmela 🙏 Philosophi is not just for youthful hair style clients. As a previous long term client of Phia, I’ve returned a few lifetimes later to Philosophi with different hair and goals. Previously, my hair could not be long enough or highlighted enough! My current more mature self is dealing with changing texture and ever increasing “sparklers” that I am choosing to embrace not color. Seeking to tame the unruliness and attempt a graceful aging process instead. This will be possible now with guidance from Carmela. In one sitting, she taught me so much about having coarse or wavy hairs after having straight thin hair my entire life. It’s a whole new ball game! She listened she understood she educated she worked with me. And I’m following her advice closely. I’m so glad to have the right hair style partner now, as my hair will continue to change. We are on a journey and I have every confidence she will help me look my best 🤩

This was my first service at Philosophi and with Brittany after my previous stylist of 8 years moved. I have some “hair trauma” and I was so happy to work with Brittany! She was kind, patient, informative, and knowledgeable. She talked me through each step of my haircut and I really appreciated the thorough communication. I will definitely be back! Thanks again Brittany!
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your first visit after such a long relationship with your previous stylist! We know how real hair trauma can be, and we’re so glad you felt supported, informed, and cared for throughout your service. Clear communication is a big part of our approach, and we look forward to welcoming you back. 💛

I would give Danielle an excellent plus plus if that was a possibility!! Today was my first visit at Philosophi . Danielle is certainly a color expert extraordinaire! She spent a long time assessing my current colored hair status, then offered several options to reduce/eliminate the brassiness. She then did her mathematical mixing magic to produce a softer, more sun-kissed color. She is equally gifted with scissor skills. If you are looking for a hair artist Danielle is definitely the one you want to book an appointment with!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We’re glad your first visit to Philosophi felt collaborative and intentional, taking the time to assess and walk through realistic options is how we support long-term results. We are so happy you loved your time with Danielle — we agree she deserves an excellent plus plus!

It makes it all the more enjoyable, I can’t wait to get my haircut by you again. Thank you so much! <3 :) (This place is Hijabi friendly!)
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this! Making sure our clients feel seen, at-ease, and genuinely cared for is at the heart of what we do. We’re especially grateful you highlighted the importance of comfort and accommodations, as creating an inclusive, respectful space for all guests matters deeply to us.

Aeriel has been doing my hair since she was a new talent. Almost 8 years later, she is just as passionate now about her craft as she was then. Over the years her knowledge and skills have evolved and there is no one I trust more with my hair. I often get a precision bob. I’ve been stopped countless times by strangers that ask who cuts my hair because the lines are so clean and sharp. Her attention to detail is fantastic! The cut is so good that I often can go without a blow dryer. Just some styling cream out of the shower and I’m good to go. Everyone else at Philosphi is just as wonderful. Their customer service is top notch and I love their Davines hair products.

I came in for the first time and saw Danielle after having my extensions done elsewhere by someone who didn’t fully understand my needs. From the moment I arrived, the team here was incredibly professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to assess my hair, explain the process, and skillfully correct the work that had been done previously. I felt completely cared for throughout the appointment, and I left not only loving my hair but also feeling confident and understood. An exceptional experience from start to finish. Thank you!
