The salon is a full-service hair salon and day spa at 830 Paoli Pike in West Chester. Owner Mary Lou Enoches has more than 45 years of experience in the beauty industry. The salon says it has received the Daily Local News Reader's Choice Awards in consecutive years since 1994, has been named Best of the Main Line since 2001, and most recently received Best of Chester County and Best of Philly designations. It also says L'Oreal Professionnel named it a Top 100 salon in 2016 and recognizes it as a Black Elite Salon.
Hair color ranges from basic to advanced techniques. Corrective color is mixed in a separate chemical area and is priced after a consultation, which is advised for first-time color clients so there is time set aside for the appointment. The salon uses L'Oreal INOA hair color, which it says is available at only select salons across the country. Haircuts, perms, Olaplex, Redken and L'Oreal treatments are also offered, and the salon describes its Brazilian Blowout smoothing treatment as the most innovative and effective professional smoothing treatment in the world, with an express version of about 60 minutes and a standard version of about 90 minutes. Stylists are rated at new talent, associate, designer and master levels, and the salon is level priced with pricing details available on request.
Blowouts are offered at a blowout bar and at the LD Dry Bar, with named styles such as The Big Texan, The Main Line, The New Yorker, The South Beach and Formal Styles. Hair treatments at the blowout bar use deep conditioners and ceramide treatments. The spa menu includes facials, a crystal microdermabrasion facial, facials with peels, massage in 60-minute sessions with 15-minute extensions available, body wraps and exfoliating body treatments, nail services, and waxing for men and women. Day spa packages combine services over roughly two to five hours, and custom packages are available. A Bridal-to-Be package covers a hair and make-up trial, bridal make-up and wedding day styling.
Reservations are suggested, and walk-ins are welcome. The salon is open Tuesday from 10am to 8pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to 8pm, Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 8:30am to 5pm, and it is closed Sunday. Monday is listed as Continuing Ed Day with no hours given. A complimentary refreshment bar is available to all clients, and the day spa has two showers for guests. A complimentary skin care consultation can be booked by phone. Gift certificates start at $25 and can be bought online or at the front desk. Major credit cards are accepted, but gratuities cannot be paid by credit or debit card. Day spa packages have expiration dates and follow a cancellation policy, and prices are subject to change.
Stylists focus on keeping hair healthy and restoring it where needed, and they show guests how to care for their hair at home.
