Rocker Head

I’ve been getting my hair styled here since it’s opened 29 years, even after moving to Arizona, always a beautiful style, Cathy is in my opinion the finest hair stylist in The tristate area. Her grand daughter styles my wife’s hair when we Visit Philly, 4 times a year, Deb loves her work. if you a place with lots of experience in hair styling this is the place.

Turn off the U2, because I finally found what I’ve been looking for. An affordable haircut by someone talented and experienced, not afraid to up the punx, while listening to the Doors.
Over the summer, I got my hair cut at another salon which has amazing reviews & wins awards. That haircut was good, but expensive. This is the haircut I was looking for. I brought in the same photo to Rocker Head, 6 – 8 months later, and finally got the haircut I have always wanted.
Looking at the photo of the haircut I wanted, and the haircut I had received over the summer, Cathy was able to identify what went wrong, and use the right tools to take the extra weight off of the tips so I could style my hair straight up! No one wants a floppy heavy up-​do!
Cathy does a women’s wash & cut for $ 35. I have never had as excellent a haircut as this, at such a great price. I won’t let anyone else cut my hair from now on. I can’t wait to try Rocker Head for color.

I’ve now been to rocker head a few times for haircuts but I got my hair colored there for the first time. Cathy is always able to replicate the hair cute I bring her expertly and now I can say she is able to do the same for color. I went in with a faded pink mop and came out with a cool cut in «My So Called Life» red. More than pleased with the result.

Such a great full service hair salon and a south street institution. Cathy and Megan are great people and you’ll get a great hair cut and great conversation. The prices are reasonable as well. Have been going here for years and can’t see going anywhere else.

I love everything about this place!
I always walk out the door fully happy about my hair cut.
Cheap, fast appointments, friendly, great hair cuts, lovely shop.
Thank you Cathy!

We love this place, both for us and for our kids. A truly relaxing and welcoming place to get a great haircut!

Best haircut ever. Trained barbers who know how to cut MENS hair. Friendly. Experienced. no nonsense. Not expensive. PERFECTION. Cathy and Megan know what they’re doing. Do not spend $ 50 for an expensive stylist with no barber skills. Go to Rocker Head. They are FANTASTIC

What a great overall experience. My girlfriend decided to try this place out to get a super short, edgy cut. Cathy and her granddaughter are both talented and delightful stylists. Walked in and immediatly was welcomed with warmth and non judgmental attitudes, which I have felt at other salons in the area. Cathy was open to my girlfriend’s ideas and even welcomed seeing pictures and gave suggestions that would work with her hair type. After Cathy’s granddaughter washed my girlfriend’s hair she was seated in Cathy’s chair and she went straight to work. Added bonus: Cathy not only is a 30+ experienced barber, she’s also an astrologist and gave both of us oral readings while she cut. Her granddaughter was coloring and cutting another customers hair and was giving the same attentive, friendly, service as well. Once my girlfriend was done, I was so impressed with the service and a bit envious of her new ‘do I decided to also get my hair cut! Best idea and best whim to walk into this salon. My girlfriends wash, cut, dry and style was $ 35 + tip and my cut, no wash, no style was $ 17 + tip (tip them generously, they deserve it.) It’s been 2 ½ weeks and the cut is still fresh. New hair growth isn’t choppy or awkward, actually transitioning very nicely into the original look very well; a result of a stylist that knows what they are doing. Again very pleased and happy to finally have a salon and stylist we trust.

Great salon! I’ve never had a more pleasant haircut experience. Both Cathy and Megan are super friendly and welcoming. Megan cut my hair. She listened to me when I said I wanted a haircut that would grow out nicely. (I had a pixie and have been growing it our for a year now). I asked for a vintage look and she made me look exactly like Marilyn Monroe who is one of my biggest idols. I’m definitely going back!

Very impressed. Cathy went to barber school and it shows. She is very well trained and experienced. She explained to me many nuances about my hair that no one else has. Plus, the price was very affordable. I’ve definitely spent more at salons all over Philly and had less desirable outcomes. Will definitely go back!

This place is by far the most welcoming hair salon that I have ever entered. the owner Cathy runs the place with her daughter and they were freindly and helpful. They paid no heed to walking-​in without an appointment. They were free and were ablel to help me right away. However, I am sure appointments are recommened. They bleached and and colored my hair and the whole experience was eventful and fun!!!
Rocker Hair IS THE PLACE to get all you hair salon needs completed with excitement. The place is covered wall to wall and ceiling to floor with Rock-​n-​Roll postings of rock musics most iconic elites of all time.
If you need a hip, «wanna get noticed hairdo», with a definate rocker flair…
ROCKER HAIR is that place. However, i’m sure they can also help a lower flaired conservative desire as well.

Hadn’t had my hair cut in well over 6 months, and really had no one to cut it the way I wanted properly so I decided to take a chance and check out Rocker Head. I called this morning to make an appointment and Cathy said she would take me by 2:30 which was awesome. When I got there I was warmly greeted by both Megan and Cathy. I showed Cathy the pictures i had brought and she pretty much knew exactly what do to. She cut my hair perfectly, and quick too.
No shampooing or wetting or anything unnecessary. She made changes as I asked and in the end I ended up with exactly what I came in for. And it was a reasonable price too! Rocker Head is awesome and I’ll probably get my hair cut here from now on. Cathy and Megan are extremely nice, and you should probably take your business here.

I have been growing out my short hair for MONTHS (seems like forever) and it became extremely uneven. I have been patient about letting it grow, but I needed to get it evened out to have it look nice as it was in the process. Being very nervous about going to a new salon, I mustered up the courage to go to Rocker Head as I heard some good things about Cathy. She took the time to look at my hair, ask what my goal was (my plan is to grow it into an inverted bob), and then only cut what needed to be cut to even everything out. After the cut, her grand daughter Megan blew my hair dry, let me play with it to see how I wanted to part it, etc, and then flat ironed it. It looked BEAUTIFUL!!! Not only was it even (finally), it was perfectly cut so it will grow into what I want once it gets a little longer. Cathy then talked about some good products she recommended to keep my hair healthy and strong without pressuring me into buying. Well, I ended up buying a new shampoo and conditioning spray because by this point, she earned my trust.
I recommend this salon to anyone (not just rocker heads!) if you want a rehab cut, a stylish cut, or simply a trim! This place is for anyone.
Thanks again Cathy and Megan!

truly one of the best places in philadelphia. cathy and megan are both amazing. we have been going to rockerhead for years, for our twins and my husbands hair styles. today, megan pulled off quite a feat, she did a beautiful, retro, vintage up-​do for me. she is so talented. i left there feeling so happy and fancy, something i rarely ever feel. thank you, ladies. you are both wonderful.

Would not ever send any friend or enemy even to this place. My hair was a mess, her product was cheap and on top of the $ 150 I had to spend for this I had to spend close to the same amount at another salon to get my hair fixed.

Cathy will hook you up with a look that fits you and your lifestyle. She fit me in on Saturday. After talking with me she gave me a professional look that I can replicate at home. Megan is also extremely talented in finishing your style. Together they make an unstoppable team. Relaxed environment, good music, great retro furniture, friendly people. Great experience. $ 40 for a woman’s cut & style.

I just went here for the first time, and I’m really happy with my haircut. I’ve had basically the same kid-​style haircut my whole life, so I went in and asked Cathy if she had any ideas. She did, and fixed me right up. The haircut was awesome, and the place is laid-​back and affordable. I’ll definitely go back.

Cathy Rocks! My boyfriend goes to her to get his haircut and I was in a last minute pinch today and needed a trim. I have pretty long hair and only get my hair trimmed 3 or 4 times a year. She fit me in with a few hours notice and I got an awesome CHEAP haircut. It was amazing, $ 40, wash, cut and blow dry. AND my hair looks awesome. Will definitely go back.

I got my hair cut here once, and it looked good, but it wasn’t as short as I wanted. The person who cut my hair did not use a clipper attachment, and seemed to have her own idea about how my hair should be cut, as opposed to how I wanted it cut. But I also wasn’t particularly assertive. A haircut to me is just one of those things that I just want to get over with. So I would rather just go someplace and say «Hey I want you to cut my hair like this…» They say «okay» and then they cut it the way I asked. If I have bad taste, then I guess that can be my problem.

Rocker Head provided exactly what I wanted from a haircut. Harris was attentive, meticulous and helpful. After driving around south philly for a half hour trying to find someone who was open at 11 am on a saturday morning, i was very happy to stumble in here and get a great cut at a good price. will be back and will recommend to others.
