Spa Elysium ltd.

Love my new stylist, Lauren!
My hair situation was a bit tricky but she has been able to correct it and give me a great color.
Lauren has got a great personality and is a pleasure to talk to:) I can’t wait to go a bit more crazy with my color next time I see her:)
Still love Lauren’s talent!!!
She truly can do anything! I see her every 3 weeks
but would love to see her more often:)
Last time I saw her, she gave me a great haircut.
I cannot recommend her enough! She will give tips on how to style your hair, she will make you laugh with her great sense of humor and you will look fabulous when you get out of the salon!!!

I was delighted by a same-​day appointment for a haircut for my Fiancé and an eyebrow shaping for me. My eyebrows ended up totally on point and my Fiancé’s hair looks excellent! We were in an out in 30 minutes, which was awesome.
The décor is sort of industrial-​chic and they have a nice downstairs area for spa services. We will for sure be going back!

After all these years in Philly, I’m finally committing to a hair salon. I have gone to so many places over the years and so many times I end up back at Fringe. I have extremely thick curly hair, so finding a good salon to deal with my curls can be a challenge. Any stylist I’ve had here does a great job with my hair, knows how to handle my curls and give a cut that accentuates my curls and keeps them shaped well. The stylist I had today gave me tips for everyday curl management that I plan to try out.
I always have an easy time making an appointment, even at the fairly last minute. Last night I decided I needed a cut and was able to get in this morning.

I recently got my hair cut here (by Lauren) and was very pleased. The ambiance inside is incredible. The facilities are extensive and very impressive, and there’s a whole downstairs area you wouldn’t anticipate. Parking is ample and very convenient. On top of their spa/​salon services, you can also purchase a wide array of beauty products here. Treat yo self!

I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences since I followed my stylist, Lauren, here several months ago. The space is awesome and everyone I’ve met has been super nice and welcoming. Lauren is great, she listens to what I want and makes suggestions… and has saved me from a total hair disaster. I can’t thank her enough. I booked my upcoming appointment online which is convenient, although I’ve never had trouble when calling in to schedule an appointment. Also, there is a parking lot, which makes me super happy because I hate parallel parking.

I recently saw Natalie for a hair cut and ombré… She was absolutely fabulous and so good at her job! She was concerned about the well being of my hair and keeping it healthy, while still giving me exactly what I wanted!!! So happy with her creativeness and accuracy to what I asked for!!!:)

My girlfriend and I go to Spa Elysium for our hair cuts and styling whenever necessary and always have a good experience here. My girlfriend goes to Vaughn who she really likes and is very happy every time with the outcome of her hair. I have had three different women here cut my hair and have been satisfied each time my hair was cut here. I feel kind of awkward being the only man there most of the time I go but it is definitely worth the quality of the haircut. They have a good selection of hair care products and jewelry also. They are also extremely nice and even when we ran very late and had to call and cancel our appointments they attempted to fit us in sometime close to the time but we were unable to make it due to dinner plans. Lastly, I paid $ 30 for my haircut while she paid $ 50 for her trim and styling. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a steady hair salon with good stylists.

This place is a great little gem at the top of the hill in Chestnut Hill. I would describe the décor as comfortable «shabby-​chic» with exposed brick and light bulbs inside. They offer coffee and have a ton of varieties of teas for their clients. It is very open, warm and inviting inside.
Lauren is my stylist there and she is honest and knowledgable and actually listens when I tell her what I want. My hair is finally the color blonde I’ve been asking stylists for for 10 years.
I haven’t tried any of their spa services yet but it is next on my list, I just have to make up my mind where to start first! So many tempting options!

As I sit on the phone waiting on hold for two minutes, I remember why I stopped going — terrible service. Last time I called it was a longer wait after they put me on hold, and I just hung up. Rotating massage staff and the paper thin walls between roomsstopped me from getting massages there. You could hear other people talking in the massage rooms next to you — not relaxing. I liked Angie for waxing. She was good.

There seems to be a heavy rotation of staff at this place as compared to other salon/​spas. The last time I was there I heard someone screaming-​I was told it was the owner yelling at an employee-​nice-​she carried on & on. There was nothing earth-​shattering about the color treatment that I received-​I needed corrective color just a few weeks later– & the mani/​pedi was ok-​nothing great. I would suggest that the owner & other employees watch their gossip in front of clients-​as you never know the connections between various clients–

My review is based on the two best people in the salon. Marina is the best pedicurist I have ever known. I’m would be better with the price if I knew most of it was going to her. It keeps me from seeing her more often.
Kim is by far the best hairstylist for making you blonde, or changing your shade of blonde. Shes technical and talented. Immediately makes you feel at home and relaxed. Book ahead as getting a spot in her chair is tricky.

it was OK. liked my manicurist (cool russian accent), but $ 18 for a manicure that only lasted 3 days…(chipped polish and cuticle that was cut too close)? I’m super careful with my nails. Got a «makeup» mani in NYC that cost $ 12.50 and it lasted 6 days… think I’ll shop around…

I’ve been getting my hair cut & colored here for years — I go to Jaenine — and she has colored my hair better than anyone in my life. I never fail to get compliments on both the cut and color when I walk out of here.
The space is quite lovely, with brick walls and shabby chic style. It is always rather busy — and a little chaotic at times — but that has never bothered me at all.
Twice, Jaenine has come in on her day off if I need my hair done for a special occasion. You can’t ask for better service than that! The assistants who wash my hair are always friendly and talkative and earnestly seem to want to do a good job.

Another outstanding review for nail technician extraordianaire, Cheryl Lee. I visited the spa today for a standard pedicure (I usually get the spa pedi) and «regular» manicure. Both were top notch.
Cheryl is only there on weekends now, but I wish she were there more. So book an appointment in advance. She is worth it and in demand! I hope the management there knows what a gem she is. her pedis last for weeks — and her polishes are precisely applied. She uses a pre-​basecoat drying treatment (when indicated) that helps the base coat (Seche Clear) to bond to the nail plate.
She also uses Seche Vite top coat which is an HG (Holy Grail) product in the nail tech world.
Can’ say enough good things about the nail services at spa elysium — done by Cheryl Lee.
P. S. The spa itself is a 4 star operation. They have a NEW front desk person (at least she seemed new to me) named Amy who was cheerful and a big improvement.
If I lived in Chestnut Hill this would be my go-​to spa. It blows Spa 3000 BC away!!!

Hairdresser Natalie ROCKS in cutting and highlighting! She is the fastest and best I have ever had and she has been styling my hair for 8 years!

I have been getting my haircut here for years (at least from the time where the way my hair looked actually mattered, and i wasn’t a little kid going to the hair cuttery).
i go to lily. she is great! always does exactly what i want and takes a lot of time on my hair. she really takes her time and has a great attention to detail. she is really sweet and won’t chew your ear off if you are not a talker. she uses all sorts of techniques which i really like! i get my hair cut maybe 2 – 3 times a year, and her cuts even grow out nicely. they look good short and long! i am always happy to give lily and spa elysium the business.
there are a lot of other very talented stylists there too.
go! you will not be disappointed.

My mother and I have a our weekly date here. We get our hair blown dry– my mom has always uses with Anne for almost a decade now and I use Jeanne’s services. They are 2 amazing stylists who are also now friends… Both woman are amazing at all their trades and always have smiles on their faces. The joke is that I should get a paycheck because I am also there! The whole atmosphere is fun and friendly, yet still classy. We also get our nails done there normally biweekly. Until a few weeks ago, Cheryl Lee who I miss, and now only works weekends… was absolutely amazing. If i can squeeze in some weekend time, I’d love to see Cheryl again because the color I am wearing this week, she definitely would have told me that it wasn’t me… haha! Sue is also great! I also use Natalie’s services when Jeanne is off, and she does an amazing blow dry! Amazingly quick! I have used Sadie to get my hair straightened. She is such a sweetheart. I honestly can say I have used most of the stylist at one point or another, and have never been disappointed!!! Also I can not forget about Angie and her amazing facials… and Jessica– best make up ever! Thanks Girls and Guys… and please give the front desk a break… they are busy as ever!

I just started going to Cheryl for my nails and she is AWESOME! I was a little nervous going to get my nails done because I am very picky, but fortunately I am friends with the manager who assured me Cheryl was the best, and she was right. What I wanted with my nails was a sort of experiment, and it actually turned out great! Cheryl does the gels over my natural nails and they are strong but natural looking and last time they lasted me 3 weeks before I needed a fill in (and trust me I am HARD on my nails!) — and I really could have gone longer but I wanted them done for Christmas. I have my own salon in another area (but we don’t do nails) so I am just about the most picky client you can get, but I have no complaints. The client in front of me (I actually think it was Karen that previously posted) obviously had a great relationship with Cheryl, which is rare and really great to see. I would recommend Cheryl to anyone!

I’ve gotten quite a few spa treatments here, from massages to facials to fancy schmancy pedicures, and I’ve even twisted myself silly in their downstairs yoga center. My visits here have always been ok; nothing amazing but not offensive. Dealing with the front desk is the most frustrating part of the experience, as I usually get placed on hold for an indefinite amount of time and have frequently been bounced around and even hung up on. If nobody is at the counter when you check in you could be in for quite a wait, and the same goes for when you’re ready to pay up and head out. At least the retail area is stocked with interesting jewelry and good-​smelling things to check out while you wait.
