Luna Salon

Got a color done by Vann. I’m Asian and its super hard for me to find a salon that can cut my hair perfectly AND color. I used to have ombré hair but then I chopped it off and went dark… but too dark (a la my previous stylist). I was dying to get it lightened but didn’t know where to go! Luna had great reviews so I gave it a try. I always hate the brassy highlights but Vann did a perfect job! He have me ash brown highlights that really livened up my look! It was subtle yet noticeable ! I’m very happy! Will be coming back when my hair is longer !!

I was looking for a place in Philadelphia moderately priced where I could get my hair highlighted. Loved my experience here, and the staff was very friendly. Glen did a great job highlighting my hair. My only drawback: it was much more expensive than I imagined. I also wish my hair was slightly more blond, but I can always go back and get more highlights, but I wish there was a way of doing that without paying so much money. Anyway, great atmosphere, great location, and I would definitely go back.

I had found Luna on «City Search» back before Unilocal became popular. This was my salon for the «Where did you get that haircut, you look awesome» style. Having been away, I headed straight here. Van took care of me. The salon is just as clean, perky, and fun as I remember. He sat me down to chat about my hair: what I like to do with it, do I part it on one side or another, the texture, etc. Now, I did wait a few days before writing this review. I wanted to be sure that even without a professional blow out I still liked my cut. I definitely do! Take me with a grain of salt: I am happy to try new places and stylists, but I have been consistently happy with the service I get at Luna since 2005. Go here for a great cut!

Have been having consistently amazing haircuts at luna salon since 07, even if I can only make it out three times a year i will always return. The kind of place and staff where you will not have to seek out a better haircut or service!
My hair is difficult, frizzy/​wavy thick and unruly, the cuts I’ve received here are always incredible and grow out gorgeously! I love Luna!!!

Just got back from my first haircut at Luna, and I absolutely loved it! I made an appointment with Mae because I’d read all the great reviews on Unilocal about her, and she definitely did not disappoint. I have thin wavy hair, and she knew exactly how to cut it to make it look its best. I really felt like she listened to me, in terms of how much time I have to do my hair in the morning, etc. Plus, they charged me about $ 10 less than my last haircut in the city, which was not as great as this one by a long shot.
Overall, the salon was very clean and comfortable, and all the staff there were very friendly. I’ll definitely be back!

When I moved to Philly I was scared to get a haircut and after having a terrible experience at another salon, I thought «what the heck» and scheduled an appointment here. I walked away with the best haircut I’ve ever had.
A couple of months ago I decided to cut all my hair off and get a pixie cut, after consulting with Cecile, I was totally ready to do it. When I left I was almost in tears– I LOVED IT! Cecile was incredible and kept making sure I was ok with cutting everything off. It was such a great experience.
It’s also great that they do a free neck and bang trim between haircuts! Makes life with short hair awesome!

I’ve been going to Luna Salon for a long time now, Marti being the main reason. I’m a big believer in letting professionals do their thing and every time I give Marti the reigns, she produces a stylish cut. Also, if I get my bangs cut, she always mentions that I can get a free bang trim any time I need it– which is awesome!
I also love the B&B products sold here and even though they don’t get a commission for sales of the products, Marti always lets me know which one will boost my hair on days I need it (like w/​the thickening spray!).
They’re prices are steeper than I’m used to, but I usually go for a cut that will look okay growing out, so NBD. It’s worth it!

I cannot say enough good about Mae! Been going to her for over a year and highly recommend her to anyone.
I love her suggestions – she really looks at you and gives recommendations for what to do next given what she sees. She’s flexible too and does what you want even if it’s not what she’s suggested. She’s super talented and knows what she’s doing. I’ve never had anything more done then just a basic cut from her as I don’t color my hair, so I can’t speak to that.
And she offers free bang trims!
I also love the fact that they only use Bumble and Bumble products!

Moved into the city recently and really needed a hairdresser. Went to Luna based off the reviews on Unilocal and it was a great decision.
The receptionists were super nice on the phone and accommodating of my kind of last minute appointment change. Was handed a nice hot cup of tea after I sat down and didn’t have to wait long for my appointment, even though I was 15min early.
Mae is AWESOME! I have really heavy asian hair and she managed to layer it just enough so I still have enough volume but light enough to do the pantene swish. I pretty much told her to do whatever she felt was best (my way, though a little risky, of testing out hairdressers) and it turned out great! She wasn’t surprised by the my just letting her do what she wanted – always a good sign – and it worked out.

Luna is easily the best Salon in Philly. I went to a very expensive spa/​salon in Rittenhouse and paid $ 150 for my hair to be butchered. I immediately started searching for someone who could fix it and came across Luna. I read about each of the stylists and selected Mae because she does well with thick hair. She not only fixed my horrifying haircut, she made it look INCREDIBLE! I’ve recommended this salon to every single girl that asks about my hair — and believe me, I get a lot of complements.
She also got me addicted to Moroccan oil and I can’t thank her enough for that :) I’d be shocked if anyone on here wrote something negative about this salon or the women who work here.

If I was reviewing this place based just on my stylist, then it would have 5 stars, but I’m not, so I’ll stick with 4.
I saw Marti for haircuts and colors for a couple of years when I lived in the city and then when I moved to Manayunk. It soon became too much work to go to Center City for a haircut, so I had to move on. However, I think about this place and her whenever I venture to somewhere/​someone new.
Marti always did a good job cutting my hair, and a perk is that they do free bang trims. She was really helpful when it came to choosing what color to dye my hair and whether to use permanent or semi-​permanent color. My hair would feel soft and smell good for days after seeing her. She was also easily relatable — telling stories about things that were going on in her life or talking about things that were happening in mine. There was never uncomfortable chit-​chat or awkward silence.
Things I don’t like: It became more and more difficult to get an appointment, but I attribute that to the fact that they were becoming very popular. I also think that it’s a *little* pricey, but I’ve certainly seen higher priced places.
Things I like: The simple, clean lines inside the salon are relaxing. There isn’t any clutter and it is very clean. Also, they use Bumble & Bumble products, which are now my favorite. And Marti knows exacltly which products work for your hair and the style that you want to leave with.
Anyway, check this place out — and request Marti.

I have been coming here for a number of years and Mae has been cuting my hair. She is so talented, great at suggestions for your hair type and really knows what she’s doing. I keep my hair short & it’s hard to find someone who is decent at cutting short hair. I’ve had some dreadful experiences! I have found Mae and am sooooo happy! She is excellent at short cuts. I did try someone else closer to where I live and lived to regret it. I’m back for good with Mae! Also there is NEVER pressure to buy any of the Bumble and Bumble products they sell. Very rare at a salon these days. Give her a try. You won’t regret it!

I’ve been going to K.C. at Luna Salon since I moved back to Philly a little over a year ago. K.C. is awesome, and has always done a fantastic job, but this time she TOTALLY out did herself. I went from shoulder-​length hair to really short and she did a fabulous job. I showed her some pictures, we talked about what I liked/​disliked about them and I left the rest up to her. I’m so, so happy and have received a ton of compliments already.
The salon has nice, bright décor and is spotlessly clean. I love the products, but I never feel pressured to buy them. The salon is very reasonably priced, offers free bang and neck trims and has a referral program, too. I cannot recommend Luna Salon and K.C. enough!

I’ve been going to Luna Salon and getting my hair done by KC for about a year now. She is GREAT & has curly hair like me & knows how to cut it so I don’t look like a frizz-​ball trying to look like a lion (see me from 7^th grade — 9^th grade)
I LOVE their bumble & Bumble products (smell so delicious and are the best products out there, hands down) & KC never pressures me to buy the products she uses (But I usually do. Except today. I forgot. Oops)
Today I went in for a trim because I was starting to resemble my 8^th grade self & we started talking about color– something I rarely do to my hair. And she told me about a look that would be EASY/​NO maintenance & would look natural on me & I was sold. She even found time to get it done right then– even though I was only scheduled for a hair cut.
It was great. It looks great. KC is great. Luna is great and I officially need to break out a thesaurus & look up a synonym for «great.»

I go to Mae at Luna Salon, and she is fantastic. My hair is tough – there is a lot of it, which makes it very thick and difficult to work with, and it toes the line between wavy and frizzy – it needs help to become either straight or nicely wavy/​curly. I have always had trouble finding a good cut and style, particularly because I’m not someone who has a lot of time to spend on my hair. Mae first cut my hair when it was on the longer side, and taught me how to manage it on a daily basis. I loved it. A couple of years ago, I decided to go shorter, and she also did an amazing job. At this point, I just tell her what length I want, and let her pick a style. It always looks great.
Mae takes her work seriously, and will put a lot of thought into what will work with the natural texture of your hair. She stays active in the more artistic outlets of hair styling as well, and has worked the last couple of NY Fashion weeks for bumble & bumble.
In terms of the salon in general, the staff is friendly and professional. The salon is always very clean. Another hairstylist at Luna took care of my mother’s hair before my wedding, and she loved it.

Mae’s been cutting my hair for the last few years. I have long, stick-​straight Asian hair and I have recommended her to friends who have pixie-​short, coarse wavy hair, and medium-​length, thick, coarse, wavy hair and they have all absolutely loved their haircuts. Mae is adept at making anyone look like a rock star, no matter what kind of hair you have.
Because I’ve loved her haircuts for years, I just had her do my hair for my wedding, and all I did was show her a picture of the dress on the day of and then let her go to work. I trust her completely at this point, and my hair was so great for that lovely evening.
Mae is really amazingly talented– she has been asked by Bumble and Bumble to style hair at Fashion Week for two seasons now, so getting that kind of talent for $ 55 a haircut is a serious bargain.
Besides, she’s super chill and great to talk to. The salon itself is clean and uncluttered, and everyone I’ve encountered there is super nice.

I had an okay experience here, but I never felt compelled to return. I like that they are big on the B.b. products, and the atmosphere is nice, but… eh. My cut was okay, not my favorite, and I was never able to make it look quite as good as it did the day it was cut. I know that’s sort of a fact of life, but the best haircuts I’ve had, I’ve been able to maintain, so it’s not a complete fairytale.
Hairstylist was friendly, but it was a mediocre experience overall.

I found Luna while walking down the street, and I’m really happy I gave them a chance. I often come in with very vague descriptions of what I want, and yet she can always make my hair perfect. I have the problem of wanting chunky, choppy, «funky» hair but work in the corporate world. They seem to be able to compromise my needs for perfect hair.
My stylist of choice is Marti. She is a cute little blonde that knows her stuff. I’ve had both a cut and a color from her. I wasn’t sure what color I exactly wanted, just I wanted something purple-​ish. She helped me pick out the best shade for my skin color and mized a color that would be purple, yet safe for corporate world.
As for my cut, many places I’ve been try to give me bangs, which I hate. But Marti agreed with me that due to my forehead size and face shape, bangs would not look good. Luckily I have long hair which is harder to messed up. But if I decide to go back to short hair, I would definitely trust Luna to cut my hair short, funky, and still feminine.

I don’t even live in Philadelphia and I ended up getting a haircut here.
Joined a friend @ her appointment while visiting and figured I’d ask about appointments while I was waiting.
Since she was getting color, they had her stylist Kelly cut my hair while she sat under the dryers.
Worked out beautifully!
Kelly did a great job, and the salon is very reasonable.
I’m pretty picky about maintaining my curls, but I’m still pleased a few days and home washings later.

I moved here from the Philippines and I love my hair. I had previously NOT cut my hair for an entire year while I was here for school, waiting instead to go back to the Philippines to see my stylist. Making the jump to a new person is very difficult.
Mae at Luna Salon is awesome. I’m sort of a «do what you will» person with my hair, as long as it stays long and the bangs look okay. I was there a couple weeks ago and asked her to make it look like I «had a ton of hair» and she fixed it up so nicely with great layering and told me how to get the same volume at home. She also did a great job with the coloring — I’m Asian and have a medium skin tone, and she took me a little lighter without looking like I should be a hot import model. She’s super fun to talk to and has a ton of great stories as well.
