About

Altar Hair is a hair studio at 1601 Walnut Street in Rittenhouse Square. It was created by Brett, who has spent nearly 20 years in the hair industry.

The studio describes its aim as a welcoming space that feels comfortable, affirming and polished. Services cover cuts and blowouts, a wide span of color work from mini highlights to full single process and double process color, balayage, and keratin treatments, along with updos for special events.

Color work is a large part of the menu, and the listing includes extensions, their maintenance, and color correction. Pricing for each service is posted on the site, with many starting prices given as a starting point rather than a fixed rate.

The studio also takes weddings, proms and other special occasions. Event pricing is quoted after an inquiry form is submitted, and bridal and on-location work is arranged the same way.

Booking runs through the studio's online page, where new clients can schedule a consultation. Parking is available on the street throughout the neighborhood and in local garages, and the studio recommends the Latimer Car Park on 15th Street.

The studio describes its environment as welcoming, comfortable and sophisticated.
