Gravity Salon

I recently made my first appointment with Gravity at the Ambler location. I was lucky enough to be scheduled with Kyme who couldn’t do enough to make sure i was pleased with my color. She was very attentive and patient and she really listened to me before doing a wonderful job to achieve the right look. The salon is located in downtown Ambler directly across from a municipal parking lot. The only mistake I made was not bringing enough quarters for the meter so I found myself watching the clock to avoid getting ticketed. Everything else there was wonderful including the hot beverage they offered me upon arrival. All the people there are extremely friendly and personable. They even provide a chair and blow dryer if you prefer to dry and style your own hair. I don’t think I have ever been in a friendlier or more down to earth salon. I can’t believe that this place has always been right around the corner but I am thankful to have found it now. I will definitely be going back.

After being repeatedly unhappy with the hair salon I was going to, I decided I needed a change. After scouring the Internet for local salons I kept going to back to Gravity. I finally sent a appointment request via the website (super convenient) and heard back very quickly! It was suggested I come in for a consultation before the appointment so everyone was on the same page! I loved that! I met with Kyme and the rest is history! Kyme got exactly what I wanted and worked her magic! From the cut to the color and highlights I have zero complaints! My hair looks AWESOME– FINALLY! I can’t wait to go back! Gravity salon is a super friendly salon– highly recommended!

I had recently moved to the area and needed a color and cut. I really wanted something different so I decided to call Gravity because I had read really great reviews. I had an appointment with Nikki Q and she made me feel very comfortable. I wasn’t sure what I wanted and she had so many options for me. She did a magnificent job and am looking forward to going back o her in the future. Thank you so much

Today was my first visit to Gravity in Ambler. It was wonderful. I was greeted warmly and directed to a waiting area. My new stylist Michelle introduced herself seconds later and discussed options for my hair style.
After a great wash I was seated for my cut. Michelle is adorable but more importantly she is an accomplished beautician. She achieved everything I requested. I will be returning in 6 weeks for color and cut. I am so happy to find a salon that is friendly, fun and professional.

I recently moved to the area and decided to give the salon a try after reading the positive reviews – Lu was my stylist for my cut and color.
I didn’t find Lu to be very personable, but perhaps she was having a bad day, who knows… I had just wanted color and a cut, but unbeknownst to me she ended up doing highlights as well – so it was more expensive and caused (the normal) damage to my hair that highlighting does, which I was trying to avoid. She also – and I don’t know about you, but this annoys the crap out of me – asked me to fold and hand her tin foil during the color. Of course I didn’t say no (she has the fate of my hair in her hands!), but um, no. I want to relax when I’m getting my hair done, maybe read a magazine, etc, what I don’t want to do is spend my time helping you with your job, that’s why I’m paying you! I also didn’t like the cut, there were some choppy pieces that didn’t sit properly.
Perhaps the other stylists are great, perhaps she was just having an off day, and eh, hair grows back, so it’s not the end of the world, but I wouldn’t go back either.

Another reviewer had described this place as unpretentious, which is why I chose it, and have found to be true. I love Gravity – I go to Billie Jo and she does a great job with my short hair (and my requests have changed several times) and I have pleasant interactions with pretty much everyone on staff. Definitely recommended.

I decided to switch from another salon and give Gravity a try after hearing great things. It was a great experience from the start — setting up the appointment over the phone they were attentive and cordial. Same held true when I got there; I think three people asked me if they could get me a beverage.
My hair is very straight and can be difficult to handle, but Kara tackled it and delivered like a true Pro. She and the staff were totally welcoming and pleasant, and I left really satisfied with my cut and the customer service. Guys — check this place out, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll definitely be back!

I recently relocated to the area from California. After reading the reviews I booked appointments for me and my children. I got color (blonde, which needed a little correction to tame the warm tones), and my children 10, 10 and 8 all got cuts. I could not be more thrilled to find such an amazing place filled with talent! Joe did my color, and I walked out more than pleased with the results. He took a lot of time with me, and really wanted to be sure that I ended up with what I wanted. He was spot on! My children all got amazing cuts, my youngest daughter with a short bob, my eldest daughter with a nice sharp long hair cut and my son with something that suited his style! I will definitely be back! I don’t know how I managed to get it right on the first try, but the power of Unilocal is amazing!!! I also wanted to thank Joe for all of the local recommendations for restaurants and activities! It is a whole new meaning to full service! Gravity Salon– two thumbs up!!! :) You guys rocked it out of the park!!! :)

I have been going to Gravity for about 6 months now (maybe longer) and I am so glad I found it! The salon is clean and the staff is welcoming. Evenings are usually very busy there (which in my opinion is a good indication of the great work that they do) so if you prefer it a little quieter you may want to go earlier in the day. I usually make my next appointment right after my haircut because they fill up quickly, but the one or two times I had to schedule last minute they have really been as helpful as they could be.
Since they are always so busy I am sure all of the stylists are great, but I am especially thankful for Katie A., who I believe is a gift to earth from the hair gods. I have fine hair and all I’ve ever wanted is some volume and body. After years of going to many different stylists and salons throughout the city asking for layers that would give my limp hair more life, I had accepted the fact that my hair would always be flat and fine. After moving to the ‘burbs, I stumbled upon this salon and they were able to fit me in pretty quickly. I explained to Katie the same thing I had explained to every other stylist — I want some layers that would give me body. After looking at my hair, she told me she was going to do a certain kind of cut that sounded so different from any other cut I’d had before. She explained what she was going to do and how it was different from the layers I currently had. I appreciated her taking the time to talk to me about my hair. I absolutely love the way she cuts my hair and yes, my thin hair now appears to have so much more volume and body! The right hair cut really can make a difference.

Had a haircut with Emmy at Gravity the other day — I am very particular about my hair and am quite exacting about what I want done. Emmy was mindful of my needs and listened to my description (which wasn’t short or simple!) of what I wanted done. Long story short, I left loving the way I looked and was very happy with the end result! Plus the scalp massage during the shampoo was outstanding.

I adore Gravity! Not only is it an oasis of calm and tastefulness on busy Butler Ave in Ambler, it is staffed with the friendliest people on earth! My one son gets his unruly hair by Brian who is so friendly and great with him when he was younger and now that he is a young teenager. My older son gets his hair cut by Katelyn who is so sweet. Both boys always get amazing haircuts. Joe, owner and head stylist, cuts my hair and I couldn’t be happier!!! My husband has heard us rave about Gravity so much that he is thinking of leaving his life long Italian barber who will soon retire and get his hair cut here too! I couldn’t recommend it enough!!!

Excellent service, friendly staff, modern shop in the heart of Ambler.
Booked an appointment a few hours before heading there to meet Kristen. Quite the pleasant experience. Without saying much she was able to subside my fears of receiving yet another atrocious haircut.
Reasonable prices compared to center city shops. I’ll be back in a few months.

Where to begin… The esthetic and ambiance of this salon are in balance. There really is a buzz to this place. It felt right from the moment I walked in.
The waiting area might throw you off at first. It’s located toward the back in this layout. There is a nice TV, plenty of magazine too. You are in the center of activity sitting there, as customers and stylists alike cruise by on a continuous basis.
Angela Perfetto (aptly named) was recommended to me. I like to find a stylist who takes my relationship with her seriously. Make no mistake, it is a relationship. A good stylist makes you look good. A great stylist makes you feel great too! Angela is great!
I went for a new style and needed a little camo applied to my hair. I like my gray, but a little color now and then mixes it up. Angela had to deal with me as a new client, who wanted a new style, and needed color that wouldn’t look like a 3^rd coat of gloss black marker. She nailed it.
The prices are reasonable here. The caliber of talent is unsurpassed. The ambiance is worth the visit.
Lastly, ALL the stylists look hotter in person that their web site profiles. And, in real life, their personalities are way cool.
I made my next appointment before I left the premises. These people rock.

i went to the shop asking for a master stylist, a younger guy brian said he was one and could do a great job, i believe he lied and is not a master stylist, clearly he was lacking in experience. and the cut technique was poor and not the quality one would expect at an exspensive place as this. if i was at ‘haircuts for less ’ and paid 8 or ten dollars perhaps i, d be satisfied, but i, m not and i didn, t… a shop like this should only have experienced stylists at these prices, not someone gettin experience o n your hair. i previously tried to schedule with a male owner but he was not available for appointments several times ! is this guy his back up for new customers, if so it sucks at my exspense, . it felt like an owner paying a younger guy less money to cut exspensive cuts !! there are many many less exspensive shops in ambler. i can recommend shear supreme for ‘color ’ see michelle the owner, she, s «excellent »

I have been coming here since they opened. I had followed one of the owners, Kara, from another salon. Best service ever!
When I enter the salon, I’m greated by the front desk person (s). They have coat check and it’s on the honor system. Many of times I wanted to leave my peacoat and take the leather jacket… but I’m too honest. The waiting area has a nice selection of magazines. Good for catching up on celebrity tabloids, travel, exotic luxuries, newest hair styles all the while drinking a cold beverage ;) They have a tv set on E! channel, which is good to catch a few minutes of Kardashians or some other reality tv show. And if you’re not into tv or the magazines, they have a fish tank with this abnormally large brown fish.
I usually get a cut by Kara so she prefers the wash first where «others» cut, wash, and finishes the cut.
After the waiting area, you’re brought over to the wash station. The washers are easy to talk to. Very friendly bunch. They shampoo first then give you a scalp massage with conditioner. One of the reasons why I come here instead of Hair Cuttery.
And then you’re excorted to the stylists station. After the cut, you can get rinsed, put some product in your hair and styled and ready for meeting up with friends without having to go home and shower.
Fantastic group of people. Have stayed a couple of times after to hang out.
Things to note: Reservations only. But you might be lucky as a walk-​in. Call ahead first. Bring the entire family: they service kids, women and men. They accept credit cards but cash tips only. So don’t forget to tip washers and stylists.

I was in town visiting my sister & she recommended I try out Gravity to get my color touched up. I had a truly great experience with the entire staff of this salon. Everyone I encountered was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I had a last-​minute conference call that was unfortunately going to cut short my appointment. Michelle G. made sure my color & cut were finished in time, then let me leave the salon (without stopping to pay) to take care of my phone call. We put my hair in a clip and arranged for me to come back 45 minutes later to complete my style & blowout. Not only did she do a great job on my color & cut, she was exceptionally kind and went above & beyond to meet my individual needs that day. I also got a goody bag full of hair product samples and some coupons for my next visit., all for the same price I pay at a medium-​level chain salon back home.
While there, I also saw a male stylist giving a haircut to a small child (2 – 3 yrs old) sitting in his dad’s lap in the chair next to mine. This stylist was so kind, gentle, and patient with his tiny client, it really warmed my heart. It also made me feel like Michelle and Sam (who did my shampoo) and the awesome receptionist were not the exception, but the norm.
I strongly believe in rewarding this level of service, so I hope you’ll give Michelle and the rest of the Gravity staff a try. I wish I lived closer so she could be my go-​to stylist, but I will definitely visit again the next time I’m in town and in need of their services!

I found Gravity a few months ago, and I am so happy that I did. Now, I am a guy, so I can’t speak to hair coloring, or any treatments beyond your traditional cut and styling, but everything I have experienced there has been great.
First off, their service is great. From the moment you walk in, you notice that everyone who works there is friendly and personable. Each time I come in, they hang up my jacket, I am offered a drink (I don’t know if they offer alcohol, because I always ask for water), and then show me to the waiting area, or they wash my hair.
In terms of the quality, my friends and family noticed and were impressed with my new hair style. It looks great, and I was happy with my hair as soon as my stylist was finished.
In regard to the price, they do not have the same prices as a national chain, but they are more reasonable than most hair salons that I have been to. Their overall value is excellent.
I love this place, and I will continue to keep going there.
