About

Salon Ballyhoo opened in summer 2022 in a space in Old City and is run by its owner stylist, Joe. The salon says its clients include people working in medicine, law, philanthropy, architecture, technology and the arts. It also says it was recognized as a top Philadelphia salon after its first two years, and its site shows a 5.0 rating from 170 Google client reviews.

Before a first visit, new clients have a consultation, either in person or by email, and are asked to bring inspiration photos to the appointment. The aim is a cut or color suited to each client's face, lifestyle and hair goals, with tips for care between visits. Color services do not include a blow dry, though one can be added to a color-only appointment for $25.

Pricing is gender inclusive and depends on hair length and the effort involved. The salon uses organic, cruelty-free, vegan and sustainably sourced products. Original artwork hangs in the space, including pieces by local artists and some clients. The salon is also hiring stylists and offers commission, retail discounts and a flexible schedule, with some hours running into late afternoon or evening.

Booking changes need 48 hours' notice. Cancelling within 24 hours requires payment of the full appointment cost before rebooking, and cancelling or rescheduling without 48 hours' notice carries a rebooking fee based on appointment time. Missing an appointment without cancelling requires payment of the full cost before future bookings. Clients arriving more than 15 minutes late may be asked to reschedule or shorten their service. Minor adjustments are made after an appointment, while changes to the original consultation or requests made two weeks later require full payment.

Aims for a cut or color suited to each client's face, lifestyle and hair goals, with tips for care between appointments. The salon takes the craft seriously while keeping the mood relaxed.

Original artwork covers the walls, including pieces from local artists and some clients.
