Siaani Salon

I have been going to Sianni for the past 7 years (I started back when they were on Walnut street) and I believe, hands down, its the best hair salon in town. My stylist Tamika is a godsend for my difficult hair. I love that they offer to have your feet up while they shampoo your hair. Linda and Heather at the reception desk are always so pleasant! The best part of the whole experience is they dont make you wait around like other salons do. Once you show up for your appointment they start working on your hair (after offering you water or a glass of wine). I highly recommend it!

Best Salon in the city! My stylist, Jeannette, is super and she really knows my hair and what I like as I’ve been going to her since 1998! Everyone at Siaani is great. When Jeanette wasn’t available, Rick was and did a fantastic job, obviously. They carry great products and it’s a real family environment. I just love it there! In fact, I need to make an appt w/​Jeannette like yesterday!

These 5 stars are solely for Stephanie! She’s been cutting and coloring my hair for over 20 years and I’ve never been disappointed. She specializes in curly hair and is extremely knowledgeable about safe products to use. I would highly recommended everyone to her, curly or straight!

I’m new in the area and I was looking for a beautician, who maintains locs or natural hair. I made an appointment with Erica, who was my stylist for the day. I had the best experience ever!!! Erica did exactly what i wanted. Erica gave me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. My hair looked so pretty. I had a re twist done with my locs. My hair was moistureized and smelling so nice. I will be going back. Plus they give you beverages to drink, they really know how to pamper you here!!!

Another curly haired girl who can attest to the great skills of Stephanie here. Like most curlies, I’ve had some horrific haircuts. After THREE years of no haircuts at a salon, I did some research and decided to give Stephanie a go. I clearly explained what I wanted and she did just that. She’s trained with curly gurus Ouidad and Devachan and really knows what she’s doing. I also found her lovely to speak with and I usually don’t enjoy salon chit chat. She didn’t try to sell me products and was totally down with me not coming back for another cut in a year (you don’t need to cut your curls as frequently as straight-​haired folks). I highly recommend her and would definitely return.

Went here for the first time yesterday after reading great reviews about Stephanie on naturally curly websites. Salon staff were helpful and attentive. Stephanie combines both Deva and Ouidad cutting techniques and teaches you as much as you want to know about the best ways to care for and style curly hair. She doesn’t push products on you like other salons. Overall I am very pleased and will be returning

I love Siaani! I have been going to Michael for years. Michael is the best colorist in the city! My hair always looks natural. The staff at Siaani are so friendly and always pleasant. The salon is bright and clean. I highly recommend Michael and Siaani.

I can’t say enough good things about SIAANI!
With very little notice, they happily gave me an appointment 45 minutes before closing time on a Saturday. (I was coming to Philly from NYC to fill in for an injured actor, so the trip was totally last-​minute.) I got the salon 20 minutes late and realized I’d left my suitcase in the trunk of my cab. The staff gave me zero attitude for being late and even offered to call the cab company. I didn’t know which one I’d taken, so the lovely woman at the front desk just started calling all of them.
Everyone was warm and welcoming, offering me red wine, ice water, etc. My stylist Vida was friendly and down-​to-​earth. I’m kind of awkward when it comes to «haircut banter,» but Vida and I had an instant connection. This was my first cut in over four months, so my curls were out of control. I wasn’t 100% sure what I wanted (I never am) so I just asked for a clean look with shorter curls. Vida took it from there. Not only did she completely clean me up, she added some subtle layering and naturally concealed my thinning spot.
I’ve gotten so many compliments on my new haircut, and not just from the people who knew what a mess it had become! For $ 45 it was a steal compared to NYC Salons – for this level of talent, you’d have to spent at least $ 90.

By far the most wonderful service — high quality and great people! I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and I am very particular about my hair. If you want highlights, you must see John Luff. He is a master at the art of highlighting. His work is flawless and beautiful. His cuts are superb as well! John is also an absolute sweetheart and will take the very best care of his clients. He is so great that I actually leave sad that I can’t hang with him all night, but at the same time I’m so very thrilled because he makes me look FABULOUS and I can’t wait to show off my new do that night! I also have to give Vida a shout out! If you have a kid, bring her/​him to Vida. She’s cool, fun and super gentle with kids and does stellar work. Forget Super Cuts for kids (by the time you factor in shampoo and blower, it’s the same cost as this high quality establishment!). You will never regret going to John (or Vida) at Siaani’s! Don’t think twice and just book your appointment with them. Love that place!!!

Stephanie is the best!

I’ve been going to Stephanie at Siaani for the last year since I’ve been in Philadelphia. She’s really great and the best curly hair stylist I could find in the city after shopping around for a while. She pays such attention to detail. She did my hair for my wedding and carefully shaped each and every natural curl on my head exactly how I wanted it. It looked natural, but the best version of natural — no frizz at all. I had been getting a Deva cut when I lived in a different city and still prefer that method overall for my hair, but Stephanie does a hybrid of the Ouidad/​Curlisto method and Devacurl method that my hair seems to respond positively to as well, so I’m happy to stick with her approach.
I also had Heather do my makeup for my wedding and she was great. She’s very receptive to your feedback, so if you want something lighter, darker, more dramatic, or less dramatic, all you have to do is say something and she makes it happen. I’m usually nervous to comment on the beautification process, but Heather is really easy-​going and would prefer you say something than sit there wondering if you like it — so be up front with her and you’ll end up with exactly the look you want. For example, I was nervous that the low lighting in the make up room would result in a weird foundation color, so I asked if we could match up the foundation by standing at the front of the salon in natural light. She was happy to do this until we got the shade exactly how I wanted it. I really appreciate that kind of client support in a salon. I highly recommend both of these ladies.

My stylist, Stephanie, is now at Siaani — formerly at Paradis. Siaani staff is great — always friendly at the front desk, the stylist assistants are nice and competent, good selection of products including Curlisto and Moroccan Oil, and pricing is not outrageous.
If you are a curly haired lady, I totally recommend Stephanie. She is by far the best stylist I have ever had. Being curly haired, it’s hard to find a stylist who actually understands how to cut, style, care for, and even color curly hair — it’s a nasty beast to deal with. Stephanie gets it. She helped me pick the perfect, natural color for my hair, and talked over styling products with me throughout my time in her chair, even steering me away from the expensive products I thought I had to use. She cut my hair in small sections, taking care to see how my curl fell as she cut. She then gave me tips on styling, and styled my hair better than anyone ever has.

Been going here for about two years. The salon is clean and stylish, and the stylists know what they’re doing.

Called on same day for an up-​do appointment for a formal event that evening. Heather was friendly, funny and sweet. The up-​do wasn’t my favorite, but it was pretty good. Price was $ 25 less than I paid at a different Center City salon. Staff was friendly and salon was clean. Would go back, but not sure if it will become my regular spot.

I was referred to Tamika by a life long friend and her mother… many many many years and salons ago. Although I live in the DC area I am originally from Philly and when I come home and have the time I make it a point to visit Tamika. The staff at Sianni is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.
I find it refreshing to see the diverse talents of the stylists churn out beautiful heads… regardless of gender, race and texture of hair. If I could clone Sianni and bring them to DC I would.

This Salon has moved to 20^th and Chestnut? Or somewhere near there. So if you go call first for the exact location.
