The Beehive Hair Salon

EV WAS AMAZING. I decided I wanted some color for the first time in my life and when I called they recommended EV whom I had never had cut or do my hair before but Ive never gotten a bad cut from here so I trusted them and it was perfect.
She explained everything so well to me, someone who doesnt know a thing about hair, and made me understand what she had to go to get the look I wanted and made me really feel like my hair was in good hands.
After she worked for 4 hours on my hair she blew it dry so I couldnt see and turned me around to the mirror and I was blown away!!! I would recommend her to anyone and though the price was a bit high, 240 for cut, bleach, color, and blow out, I couldnt have been happier with the final product. Not to mention I live outside the city now, an hour away, and forgot my wallet at home and they told me to still come in and I could call eith my card numbers later!!!
If your looking for a reliable hair salon with amazing hair dressers and employees who want you to be happy and comfortable youve got to try this salon IMMEDIATELY!

Went here for a simple haircut and had a terrible experience. Marina was my stylist. I showed her a picture as a guide that I got on Pinterest under «medium length haircuts.» That’s exactly what it was, about 2 inches past shoulder length. She goes to make her first cut and almost cut 6 inches off of my hair! My hair was not 6 inches past medium length. Then she says «so it won’t be a Bob,» which I never once said I wanted a Bob. Then she cuts the hair in a concave cut, longer in front, which again was never mentioned or part of the picture. Finally when she was done cutting (which ended up being a simple 3 inches off the bottom) I asked her to blow dry without a round brush because I don’t like the way a blowout turns out on my hair. She looked at me like I had 5 heads, as if that is the only way to blow dry hair. She charged me the pricier range for their cuts, which a simple all one length cut on fine hair, and 5 minutes drying should not be and was rude to me when leaving, without so much of a goodbye. To top it off, my mom had to touch up the cut because there was a considerable amount of long strands left behind. Had been going to beehive for years. Never again!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here is my $ 170 for the ombré look — which for some reason starts all the way from my scalp. I had asked for ombré highlights and ended up with this crap. I now have 5 different colors — dark brown, blonde, caramel, brown and some gold.
This is the worst ever experience in my life. After this I reached out to the salon asking them to fix it. They said I will have to pay and then called and said you don’t have to and again asked me to come in. I go back and the owner says its beautiful — i said REALLY? she asked me for another 80 $ to fix it. And then she asked to come another day to fix it. Complete waste of time.
She used the word «you Indian» which is extremely rude and when I said this looks funny and my colleagues made fun of it — she said are they in fashion designing? Pathetic service.
They did not want to accept their mistake nor apologize. Never ever returning to this place and don’t recommend to any one.

I visited the Beehive today and I can t believe what a awesome place I found! The salon is so cute and clean and everyone is very welcoming from the front desk to the stuff.
My hair look amazing ! Anna was my stylist and I loved what she did with my hair.
I have very long hair and when I left there I felt awesome!
I will be a loyal client from now on.

I would stick to hair and nails here.
Do not come here for a Brazilian wax. It was such a traumatic experience that I avoided waxes for a long while.
I stick to mostly manicures although the woman who does them is only there on weekends and the new space is so small it’s not a relaxing experience. I used to enjoy getting them when they were located further west on Fairmount and didn’t mind paying more for an appointment that actually started on time and relaxing experience but this new space isn’t the best for that. Way too small. The nail chair is so close to the women getting their hair curled with hot irons. It’s a tight space. Needless to say I don’t go here anymore.

I LOVE The Beehive! The atmosphere is comfortable, the staff are wonderful and the price is reasonable. I am very particular when it comes to my hair and I have been nothing but pleased with the services I have received at the salon. Cut, color and styling are all completely top-​notch! Thank you Beehive for being fabulous!!!

Was able to book a last minute appointment here yesterday. Having Sunday hours is definitely a plus. It is a cute, clean salon. Amy was my stylist and after seeing that her own shorter haircut was similar to what I was looking to get done, I knew I was in good hands. I’m loving how my hair turned out. It looks and feels so much healthier. I definitely plan on coming back!

I’m going to start by saying this is my first Unilocal review. Yes — my experience was so bad that it motivated me to go home, reset my Unilocal password from 2013 and finally post something. I had every hope that Beehive was going to be a great salon; it looks clean, it’s in my neighborhood, it has positive reviews. When I arrived I was directed to a waiting area where, to my surprise and delight, there were donuts and pizza — that’s a nice touch.
After waiting for about 20 minutes a woman approached me and gestured me to follow her to a chair. I was confused — she didn’t introduce herself or even ask my name. Was this the right appointment slot? Who knows. This is when things started to go downhill — and fast. Without prompt, but to interrupt an awkward silence we shared while looking into the mirror together, I started to explain the style I was looking for. Just a basic cut with subtle layering. My stylist provided little to no feedback and then directed me to get my hair shampooed by another girl. While I was in the shampoo chair I was thoroughly confused: who is this woman? is she a hair dresser? what’s her name? should I leave right now? Instead I regretfully held my tongue and walked back over to her chair.
In silence, the haircut started. After some time I noticed her cutting shorter and shorter, and without the assurance of agreeing on a set plan before starting the cut, I was worried. I asked about it and she had a hard time responding. To be fair, I don’t think English is her first language and I don’t think she is profiecent in conversational English. That being said, communication is key in a client services situation such as this. The miscommunication went from bad to worse; she had to have the receptionist come over and translate what I was saying. To make a longer story a little less long, I ended up leaving with a pretty bad cut. Yes, I could have stayed to the bitter end and had her fix it but I’ve never had such a hard time communicating with someone and just wanted to leave.
To add insult to injury, when I was checking out I got the news that I was being charged the «long hair rate» of an additional $ 15. If anyone can rationalize a «long hair rate» I’d be quite interested.

I had been to the Beehive several times and had great experiences. However the last was pretty bad. Had a new stylist and she turned my hair from a nice golden color to yellow. Cost me a great deal to leave with something I could have done at home for $ 15. It was noticeably a bad color because as soon as I got home my roommates commented how off it was. Don’t think I will be back.

I had been going to the Beehive consistently for a while, I had decided to go back to a brunette with highlights after a period of being red, the first time it was ok and the lady said come back before your wedding for a touch up. I went back like she told me and I said «Do the exact same thing as last time.» She starts putting the dye on my hair and it looks very red and I asked her if she was sure she was using the same formula as last time and she assured me she was. After the wash and getting back into the chair I noticed it wasn’t! I was mortified it was two weeks before my wedding! She then kept telling me this is what she did last time! If I came in with brunette hair and highlights how is red what you did last time?!? She tried to fix it but it still had a red tint and not what I wanted, I ended up paying for a huge mistake. Since then I have seen another hairstylist at another salon and she is still fixing the mistake. What bothers me the most is that I paid for a mistake and something I did not want. Apparently they never wrote down what I had at the last appointment and she just went with the red that I had done previously. This happened last November and I haven’t gone back and will never go back. If you continue to use this salon make sure they write down your formula correctly if you get your hair dyed.

I’ve had my hair highlighted maybe about 4 times my whole life because, and as most girls are, I don’t like to fuss with my hair too much. I have bright red hair and am always told to not do anything to it. I wanted a little summer pick me up and Marina did an AMAZING job! It’s the best highlight job I’ve ever had. Now my hair looks sun kissed and fresh, with a great trim and styling. Price was reasonable and the experience was great. I left feeling like a million bucks! I totally recommend you check out the beehive for your next cut and color!

I just moved to Philadelphia in May & every girl knows how scary it is to find a hair stylist… I had a friend suggest the beehive Salon, so of course I got on Unilocal & started reading & looking at pictures. I was able to get appointment very easy & Marina did an awesome job! She was very friendly & listened to what I wanted & gave her opinion to help me achieve the low maintenance blonde & cut I wanted! I’ve had a lot of scary hair disasters since I’ve moved around so much, but I found a hidden jewel here & would recommend Marina to anyone~ she is great with blondes, if I do say so myself! She is my hair stylist from now on & I’m so happy

Headed to the beehive for color correction after a balayage and cut gone wrong elsewhere. Left my hair bleach blonde and shredded at the bottom. (I’m a brunette)
Went in for consultation on a Thursday before traveling until Monday. Jean and Buddy who manage the front desk were so accommodating. Ev the owner gave me the consultation and was straight forward about what I could expect as far as results, and we booked the appointment for the day I returned.
Greeted by Buddy with a real coffee in a ceramic mug (nice touch!) salon was comfortable and Ev was very personable and easy to talk to. After painting my hair and giving me an awesome wash, she trimmed my hair up to repair the ends.
I expected my hair to look better, but my hair came out perfect! It was completely revitalized. I left the salon with shiny, bouncing hair, smooth ends, and a rich chocolate base color with cappuccino sun kissed balayage.
I’m thrilled with the results. Surprisingly reasonable price for corrective cut and color I might add. Another perk is not having to leave a cash tip — I don’t carry cash so it’s nice to have the option to tip on your card.

I needed a haircut really badly and I’m not especially fond of pretentious overpriced salons in NYC (and a little worry about the Chinatown’s ones). Since I visit the boyfriend every other weekend anyway, decided to give Beehive a call while on my way into the city. The receptionist had a VERY pleasant voice and immediately made me comfortable. Got a same day appointment and I was so grateful for that.
Upon entering, I was greeted and given a short info piece to fill out and got seated right away. My stylist, Axana?(I’m not sure how to spell her name), and I spent a couple minutes discussing what I wanted. Then a cute young stylist washed my hair. During the cutting process, Axana would updates me on what’s she doing to make sure I’m happy with the length and what not. The end product was beautiful!!! My hair looked so much healthier and bouncier. I went from super long locks to about shoulder blade length and I’m so glad I did. The long layers Axana did gave me volume but took off the weight tremendously! Thank you!
Beyond that, I also really like the interior of the salon. There is a coat rack and lavish comfortable couches in the back. The music was not turned up ridiculously loud (like most salons.), allowing for conversations. Overall, the pricing is reasonable for the services they offer. If you’re in the vicinity and needs a new look, I recommend coming to Beehive, you’ll definitely feel like the Queen Bee on the way out.

You guys probably don’t want to hear my sob story about the crappy haircuts I’ve had in my day, so I’ll save it. But the Beehive Salon is really great.
I was able to make a same day appointment. I don’t think they are short on business, but rather they are appropriately staffed for weekends.
Brianna cut my hair and she really takes her time, which I like. She is especially careful/​thorough when sculpting my bangs, which is probably because I’m super uptight about them. I appreciate it.
That was a month ago and I thought about writing a review but then I fell asleep and forgot. I just went back today for a bang trim and it was super pleasant so here’s my review. Ta-​da! KTHXBYE

I had an amazing experience at this salon. I’ve been living nearby for about a year and a half and only decided to give it a try a few weeks ago on a Sunday– man have I been missing out! This place is clean, unpretentious, and worth a visit.
My stylist was so personable and sweet, I think her name was Correra? I usually try and play it safe with a trim, but my hair was in dire need of a giant chop. She gave me a fantastic long angled bob and also did an amazing all-​over color. I haven’t been able to commit to one salon since moving to Philly, but I think I found my place.

I’m happy to be coming to this hair Solon I had fun getting my hair dyed today it looks so good my heart was beating fast it looks so amazing it’s worth every penny customer service is also amazing thanks to ms marina and her hair style list. After coming here I would never go anywhere else.

I was super excited to get my hair cut here, as I’ve heard almost exclusively good things about the staff and their talent with hair. They were due to open at 10:30am so I called around 10:40 to set up an appointment. No answer. Hm, ok, maybe they are still setting up for the day and are too busy to grab the phone. Tried again ten minutes later. And again. And again. And again. 4 – 5 phone calls over the course of an hour and no one picked up the phone for any of them. I called Snip a few blocks up and made an appointment for later today.
I might try to get in to The Beehive later but this first impression has put a bad taste in my mouth.

My partner and I have been coming here for over a year (since before they moved) and get our hair cut by Richard. She has THICK, coarse Italian hair and I have fine, almost thin, British hair. Richard does a great job with both textures, and takes the time to make sure you like your cut. I have never come away with a haircut I didn’t like.

My partner and I are moving to NYC soon and will make a point of visiting Richard whenever we are in town seeing friends.
I highly recommend beehive, the staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, in fact I have recommended the salon to a few friends who loved it as well.

Beautiful color from Rich at The Beehive Hair Salon! I love the color that Rich does for me. I knew for my wedding I wanted a lighter blonde and I trusted Rich would find the perfect shade for me. I loved it and felt like a million bucks! And everyone there is friendly and welcoming.

I had an absolutely WONDERFUL time getting a Brazilian Blowout for the first time at the Beehive Hair Salon! Richard did my hair and I’m incredibly happy with both the outcome (post-​keratin I now have my salon-​style hair naturally after washing and air drying!) and with the experience. They not only do your hair, but teach you how the treatment works along the way. I also had a fun and relaxing time chatting with Richard, my stylist. I booked an appointment based on the reviews on Unilocal,and can say that the Beehive is indeed a «gem» Totally worth going a little off the main streets downtown. Their tucked away location belies excellent service.
I wanted to keep my hair long with the treatment, and felt like the price was well worth the treatment which will last 3 months.

I have been coming to The Beehive to have Rich cut and color my hair for over 4 years. I absolutely love what he does to my hair! I get so many compliments on the color.
It is important to know that for the last two years I have been living in DC. I come to Philly for the day, just to have Rich do my hair … He is that awesome. It is worth the time and effort to make the trip!

I’ve just left the new Beehive location– I went in knowing that I needed something done to save my hair, but not knowing what. Tanya was AWESOME.
They fit me in with less than six hours notice, and she stayed as everyone else was leaving to go home. More than anything, though I’m impressed that she did an incredible job turning me from over-​highlighted to a natural brownish blonde. We discussed how I’d like to get closer to my natural color, and how I just dont have the budget to re-​up on my highlights all the time. Even though that means I’m not going to be her neediest client and that I wont go see her terribly often, she was so nice and helpful about a longer-​term plan that gets me to a less high-​maintenance color m.o.
I’d been salon-​hopping around the city and going to the aveda salon at 40^th and walnut for crummy highlights when I couldnt anything better. With Tanya’s help, I can stop doing that, as she gave me incredibly beautiful, low maintenance color.
Plus she’s very cool and didn’t make me participate in inane banter. And my hair looks great.

So my friend recommended me to go the her girl Tanya McKee and I’ve never been happier with my hair. I brought in pictures if ombré. She sat down looked at the pictures, talked to me about my expectations, actually asked me about how and what kind of effort I put into doing my hair. Best if all she blew my hair out in a super fun style that lasted three days!!! I don’t usually Unilocal I just use it to see others experiences. I am Unilocaling because I’ve never been so happy with my hair!
Also nails with Savon and waxing with Lana! Full service
