Hush Salon Philadelphia

Nick and Carlos do great men’s cuts! The vibe is chill and relaxed.
Honestly. I’ve been spoiled by really good scalp massages at a couple of previous salons.
Like skin tingling. Like she really paid attention to when your scalp, neck, and temple muscle are and know how to massage them. All in a non rushed few minutes. You just have to get into it.
The scalp massages here are usually nothing to write home about. But that could change.

I’m sure my experience doesn’t happen everyday here. However, they charged me over 200 $ for damaging my hair :(I had strands breaking and had to get my length cut off afterwards. I went to a professional so this wouldn’t happen. Mistakes happen but I didn’t even get an apology or offered anything to repay the damage. The color was not flattering either– way too coppery or orangey gold looking. On top of this the stylist wouldn’t believe me that I hadn’t treated my hair before. It was insane. I just wanted professional work, it didn’t work out (not happy, but fine– mistakes happen!) and they didn’t do anything to fix it (not fine). $ 200+ is too much when you have to pay another $ 100 to fix it elsewhere. This was not worth it for me personally.

Wow! I had an EXCELLENT experience at Hush today! From start to finish, I really loved everything about it. I was running about 10 minutes late and was so anxious about it, but the woman at the front desk was so nice about it, and made it seem like no big deal (not the experience I’ve had at other places… shit happens!)
Adam cut my hair, and started by doing a quick consultation. I told him, since I hadn’t had my hair cut in ages, I wanted all the dead stuff chopped off. Clearly, this was not his first rodeo, because he asked me to show him what I thought that meant, and to his surprise I was comfortable taking off almost 5 – 6 inches. I told him to do whatever he thought would look beautiful, and boy he delivered!
Wendy washed my hair, which was also so incredibly pleasant. A Shampoo and conditioner with a scalp massage! A great way to start MDW.
I also loved that they gave me a 15% discount for being referred by a friend, AND she’s going to get one too!
I will 100% be going back, and can’t wait to have my hair colored next time.

Just came out from 1^st time visit to Hush. Adam cut my hair. Great job, will definitely return and have Adam do it. Nice overall vibe to salon. Love that it’s in my neighborhood.
Welcome to Philly Adam. See you in 6 weeks!

I needed a fresh, new make over and Adrienne and her husband Carlos did me justice! Adrienne did gorgeous blonde Balayage on my light brown hair with accent blonde towards my face and Carlos did an amazing, fresh, shldr length bob. I parted with a good 3 – 4 inches and feel so beautiful with my new cut! After my divorce was finalized just days before this was exactly what I was looking for. Will absolutely return again. The vibe is super relaxed and everyone is extremely nice. Oh! Ruby the dog is so stinking cute!

Katie is great. She’s had a couple not so perfect reviews on here, and I hope that does not deter you from seeing her in the future, because I am the most picky person ever with very long hair and very high expectations, and she is awesome! The salon overall is also great. It’s a very nice experience with no snob factor what so ever. The owners are happy to please. And you will walk out with natural looking beautiful and healthy hair!

I went to Hush yesterday as a first time client. Loved the vibe as soon as I entered. Ardrienne did a wonderful job correcting my hair color. I am a natural brunette and I love the highlights. I highly recommend! If you go, don’t forget to say hello to Ruby (the greeter dog).

Before I start on my experience with Katie at Hush, I first want to say that personally I liked her a lot. She’s fun, she’s got great stories, and had awesome recommendations for me and my family, having moved here from Texas, that were totally helpful. Because I liked her so much personally, I really wanted to make it work with her as a stylist. But, unfortunately, her ability to listen and give me what I want (highlights that go to my root), it just didn’t pan out.
My first visit with Katie, I came in with a hot mess. I spent two years in Texas with one terrible colorist after another. Those stylists couldn’t highlight my hair either and folks — I went to the same stylist for 4 – 5 years in Oregon and for 7+ years to the same guy in Chicago — never an issue highlighting my hair. The success of my highlights *always* depends on how my hair is sectioned… I explained to Katie my first visit — section front to back at the part vs. part my hair in the middle and highlight going down (top to bottom vs. front to back at the part). I told her every time a stylist did this in Texas it never turned out. But, she did it her way and she 95% nailed it. There was a section at the very front scalp that was still my natural color and I mentioned it to her and she said it was fine. I knew no one would notice that so eh, who cares? Perfection is hard. Beyond that little piece in front, it looked fabulous, especially given what I walked in with!
My second visit, I mentioned the piece in front again… just so she’d pay careful attention at hairline. This time she didn’t show me my hair before walking out. I also got a hair cut — I told her the length I wanted my bangs. She said she thought they should be longer… that she’d leave them longer and if I wanted them shorter we could go shorter. Well, I wanted them shorter… like I originally said. She cut them a little shorter, but I still wound up cutting them when I got home to the length I *really* wanted. But, my issue is with the color this time. My highlights didn’t go all the way down to the root — I noticed in the car they were a good centimeter off my root — so I turned around and had her re-​do it. Highlights should always go to the root, along with your base. In all the years of successful coloring, that’s what I got. Again, it’s the way she sectioned my hair. So, I had her redo it sectioned the way that *works* with my hair — front to back vs. top to bottom — they way a lot of stylists do it! This isn’t anything out of the ordinary. So, she redid it and was professional about it though we had to go back and forth a little bit re: whether or not highlights should actually go to the root of your hair (i.e., look like you just had your hair done vs. 4 weeks of outgrowth on the highlights). She did it and it went to the roots. Woo hoo! So, we agreed front to back worked better for *my* hair. Problem solved.
I go in for the third visit today. Now she tells me that she doesn’t highlight each visit — this is just base. In the 20 years of having my hair done I have never had a stylist only want to do highlights every other visit. It was sort of a passive-​aggressive conversation and I immediately felt uncomfortable… like our previous conversations never happened and we’re changing plans again. She brought up her 13 years experience and not highlighting back-​to-​back as protecting the integrity of my hair, but that she’ll do what I want … but … that’s not what she does. This is a first since she highlighted my hair back-​to-​back with visit 1 and 2. So now it’s clear we are on two very different pages so I left because now *I’m* uncomfortable she will not ever do my hair the way I want — highlights to the base w/​no bleeding, no banding, professional «looks like it was just done» hair color — like I know it can look with the right stylist.
My hair is thin and straight and it shows everything. You may have better luck if you don’t have that hair type. Overall, I again state that I really liked Katie as a person and wish her all the best, but we just have different opinions of what my finished hair should look like. If you all have heard of highlighting every other visit, then maybe my previous successful stylists were overcharging me by having me highlight every time all those years! :) I wasn’t willing to risk it based on my previous outcomes at this salon.

This was my first time coming to hush salon, although I’ve driven past it for years I never got my hair done routinely. Then, after years of color buildup from box hair color for my greys I went in to try to get it lightened up a bit, and try out some highlights, at another salon in my hometown. I ended up with coppery, almost red highlights in my dark brown hair which I lived with for two months before looking for help. Enter Kelly, who after a bit of conversation came up with a way to «make it pretty». A few hours later, I had warm brown color on my grey roots and my former highlights had been blended and toned to more of a golden brown that looked awesome — she had also managed to correct some of the too-​chunky and marbelized highlights and it looked more like a very subtle ombré. Love love love, and even more so as I’m sitting looking at it in my mirror at home. She finished it up with probably the best blowout I’ve had — tons of volume. Salon itself very nice too, open, with good music, and friendly staff. Also, I was prepared for a hefty price tag since it required three different color mixes and considerable time to do what she did, but it was less than I expected (and a good 75 less than the less awesome salon visit I had two months ago outside of the city). I will be going back, and referring friends. Thank you!!!

Absolutely divine goddess pampering experience. These cats know how to make you feel relaxed and beautiful. Amazing scalp massage while being shampooed. Katie is phenomenal, I always feel like a million bucks when I leave. Thanks Hush!

I had the worst experience I have ever had at a salon, today at Hush. I was told I had a 5pm appointment but when I showed up at 5pm, I was informed I was 15 min late and they won’t be able to do my hair. I would have understood if I was late, but I didnt even know I was. My stylist Katie was nasty and rude about it. After losing my sister to suicide a few months ago, all I wanted was to feel pampered for one second. Thanks for being extremely rude and not even scheduling a makeup appointment with me. Never coming back here!!! Ever

This place is incredible. I love the relaxed vibe of the place, yet it still has a sophisticated feel. I trust Portia to cut my curly locks. She’s super friendly and very talented at what she does. Every cut I get from her receives tons of compliments. I look forward to my next visit!

Carlos does amazing haircuts! I have thick long crazy hair and he always makes my hair look fantastic.

Carlos has been cutting my hair for years. He’s fantastic. Lots of stylists don’t necessarily know the difference between a pixie cut and a men’s haircut, but Carlos manages to keep my super short locks looking adorable. And, in what I consider the mark of a really talented stylist, my haircuts always grow out beautifully, letting me stretch from my previous cuts every 4 weeks to about every 6 weeks. Also, the space is lovely – a definitely improvement from the old location in Sweat! – and the entire staff are always friendly and fun.

This is by far the best salon I’ve ever been to. Mainly because I’ve found an amazing stylist.
I’ve lived in DC, NJ, and even Australia. I was so excited to find Katie — the best hair stylist I’ve ever worked with. She’s got a fun-​loving personality and great sense of humor, and I don’t even have to tell her what to do with my hair — I say make it short and boom! it’s perfect.
I love the ambiance here. Not sure what other reviews have said, but they used to be in a gym. Now they’re in a cool old building and completely redid the décor. It feels peaceful, you’re never rushed, and you can get a scalp massage with your shampoo.
When I moved 750 miles away from Philly, the thing I was most distressed about was no longer being able to come here. But, I’ve been back twice in the past six months and make sure to schedule a cut every time. I will seriously be back at least twice a year just for a cut.
I did get a haircut from Carlos once when Katie wasn’t available and I was having a hair emergency. He did a great job as well and was easy to talk to.
Seriously, five stars isn’t enough!

Katie did a great job on my highlights. I couldn’t be happier. She picked a great color and made everything look subtle and natural, which is just what I asked for. She also gave me great advice on what hair-​part might look good with my face shape and then cleaned up my ends. I’ll definitely be going back to her.

Today I got a cut & color with Portia– the best, natural looking blonde I’ve ever had! She is great. Hush has friendly staff, a clean environment, and great products. I definitely recommend!

All I can say is Wow! Best salon ever!
How fortunate for me that when I moved to Philly 5 years ago, I noticed that Adrienne and Carlos Rogers were recognized in Philadelphia magazine as «Best of Philly» for color and cut — I’ve worked with them ever since!
Adrienne makes my color look so luxurious and natural, and I can always trust Carlos to give me the best advice on cut and style. I’ve never had so many compliments on my hair as I’ve had over the last five years.
The vibe in their salon is easy going, never pretentious — just laid back. They are always right on time and their prices are very competitive for nice salons.
Street parking is almost always available within a block or two so you shouldn’t have to pay for a lot.
Enjoy!

As a natural brunette gone blonde, I’m no stranger to the inside of a hair salon. Adrienne and her crew are truly the best in the Philadelphia area when it comes to hair. Not only are they incredibly professional in technique, but you will also feel like you are getting your hair done by your best friend because they treat you as so. The color and cuts are of the highest quality, allowing me extended periods of time without the need for a touch up; however, I come in anyways because I love spending time in their lovely salon and catching up with Adrienne and her wonderful (and seriously hilarious) staff. You will not be not be disappointed if you book an appointment here.

I came to Hush for the first time today as a walk-​in with no apt for a bang trim. Not only were they happy to accommodate me, Erin my stylist took her time and did an amazing job. Will definitely be coming back for a real haircut, and love that bang trims are complimentary, such a great service to their customers!

Hush is an AMAZING salon. The staff at Hush could not be nicer, friendlier or more accommodating and they also happen to do incredible hair. Adrienne is the color goddess. Everywhere I go people comment on my color. Erin is sweet, helpful and knew just the right cut and style I needed. No aires or presumptions here. I was instantly comfortable and in the right hands. So highly recommended!!! So glad I went to Hush

Ruth has been coloring my hair for at least 5 years… she is AMAZING as a professional and person… I adore EVERYONE at this salon — warm, friendly and hip! Love it here!

I appreciate thst the atmosphere is relaxed yet professional. I see Portia for cut and Ruth for color. I’m admittedly not very adventurous with my hair and appreciate that they make it look great without pressuring me into anything. Occasionally I go too long between visits and I am always amazed at how well both cut and color grow out. Love my highlights.

I had the best experience at Hush salon. I am officially a client for life. I wish I could give it 6 stars.
I just moved to Philadelphia and was looking to chop off 10 inches for Locks for Love. Getting such a dramatic haircut is traumatizing in and of itself, let alone when you don’t have a trusted stylist. But I took the advice of a friend and made an appointment at Hush. I was convinced that I’d probably hate my haircut at first (I love having long hair) but that I’d slowly adjust to the change and maybe even grow to like it.
Well, my experience could not have been more different from what I expected. Erin is absolutely awesome. She took the time to talk with me about what I wanted from this haircut, but (and maybe more importantly) also asked questions about me in order to get to know my personality a little bit.
Erin was also completely the opposite of most scissor-​happy stylists. At the beginning I mentioned maybe doing side-​swept bangs but told her I wasn’t 100% sure. After she started cutting, however, I became more excited about the idea. (I think I was drunk on the excitement of getting a new look.) Erin was the one who reminded me that it’s much easier to cut bangs later than to grow them back. She also told me that Hush offers complimentary bang trims, so if I decided next week I wanted them I could schedule 15 minutes with her. Who has ever heard of a stylist convincing a client not to go more drastic?!
The end result is not something that I like or can deal with while I let my hair grow out. I absolutely love it! I was definitely the best haircut I’ve ever had. And Erin was right — I wasn’t ready to make the leap to bangs. Maybe next visit, but 10 inches and a new shape was enough for one visit!

Third time’s the charm.
I moved to Philly from Manhattan a year ago and have bounced between salons during that time. My previous experience left me with hot red roots on my brunette hair and an uneven haircut. Enter Adrienne and Erin at Hush Salon.
In addition to being a beautiful, zen spot with amazing customer service, Adrienne (who owns the salon and did my color), and Erin (who did my cut), were both amazing. Color is great — rich and dynamic, cut is even and will keep getting better as the previous disaster grows out. Since she felt it couldn’t be considered a full cut (though I did!), Erin didn’t even charge me — something that would be unheard of anywhere else.
I haven’t felt this good about my hair in a long time, and I can’t wait for my next visit to see them at the end August. I can’t thank them enough.

Every time I get bored (as many others i’m sure) I turn to my hair. For years I played with different stylists from the ultra expensive to the local one. Every hiccup my husband would tell me to go see his old stylist Adrienne who moved from NYC to Philly. After a poor highlight job that left me looking more like teenage broke girl then the sophisticated office girl I wanted to look– I finally gave in and took the 3 hour drive from NYC to Philly Downtown.
Adrienne was one of the few honest hairstylists I encountered, telling me what is wrong with my hair and actually fixing it. I could not be happier with my color job; as I’m getting ready to go visit her again, I only wish she would do a week pop up shop in NYC every 3 months so I can send my girlfriends her way! Well I get to visit friends when going to see her so it’s a win win situation!

I have never had a better salon experience than I did today! Not only is (hush) the cleanest, most professional-​but-​friendly, and the most well-​decorated salon I’ve ever been to, it was also hands-​down the best general «salon moment» of my life!
Erin was my stylist, and I met her randomly at a foodie event in the city. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! She’s an amazing person in general, but I had just chopped about a foot of hair off at another salon, and I told her how anxious and clueless I was about styling, etc. Erin invited me to the salon, said she’d be happy to help me learn how to deal with my new locks. She was genuinely enthusiastic about helping me – how rare is that?!
A few hours after arriving and this gorgeous salon, and after being greeted by everyone there and handed a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee instantly, I walked out with an updated cut (much better for my hair type and easier to style) and the most amazing highlights! (Erin might say she is a novice at color, but even the other stylists were complimenting me on the blonde perfection that I can now call my own hair!)
Start to finish, this was amazing. Look no further, your new stylist is at (hush) salon! Reasonable prices, confidence galore, and a spa-​like yet homey feel. Thanks, Erin!

This review is for Katie B. for her hair cut and coloring services.
I’m very picky about my hair and have had a lot of disasters while trying new salons and I’m so glad I found Katie at Hush, by way of other Unilocalers! Thank you.
I trust Katie with my hair, sometimes I’m not sure what I want and she makes a great recommendation or I come in with a look in mind and she knows how to make it happen.
Another bonus, she has a cool, chill personality and won’t annoy you with fake chit chat :-)
