About

Cass & Clare sits on North 2nd Street in Philadelphia's Old City. The studio takes its name from Alexis Burkhardt's mother and grandmother. Alexis founded it, and she began her career in the same space, first as an apprentice.

The studio describes itself as a creative collective of stylists. Its approach centers on lived-in styles that reflect each client's own look and individuality. The studio calls itself a place built around connection and shared stories, where clients are meant to feel seen and celebrated.

Color is a major part of the menu. The Cass Root Touch-Up covers grey or regrowth, and The Cass All-Over Color is a single shade from roots to ends. Global Gloss is a demi-permanent clear or color gloss that lasts up to eight shampoos. The Clare highlighting services range from a face frame around the hairline to a full-head foil for lift and contrast, and classic highlighting does not include gloss. Balayage and foil services can combine with root tapping and glossing. Creative and corrective color for major transformations requires a consultation and deposit.

Treatments include Oribe products, K18 Molecular Repair, and several Oribe options for scalp care, blonde hair and shine. Keratin smoothing is offered through a formaldehyde-free Cezanne treatment and a KCMax treatment aimed at frizz control. The studio says Cezanne results last up to five months with proper home care, and KCMax results last up to three months. Permanent waves and custom extension services are also available, with extensions requiring a consultation and deposit.

Bridal hair and makeup, event styling, and makeup application are offered, with several of these priced on inquiry. Bridal trials and on-site get-ready options are available after a consultation. Brow shaping, brow tinting, lash lifts, lash tints, and lip waxing are on the menu, along with organic sunless spray tans.

A valid credit card is required to book. Changes need at least 48 hours' notice, and cancellations or no-shows within 24 hours are charged the full service. Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may have their service shortened or rescheduled. Credit card payments carry a 3% processing fee, while cash and debit do not. Tips are accepted by cash or Venmo, not on cards. Prices can vary by stylist level and the amount of product used.

Focuses on hair care that celebrates each client's natural beauty and individuality, with lived-in styles shaped around the person.
