Amanda/Maura

Jun 09, 2010 - I love Salon Fiber! I had my hair cut there over a month ago, and it still looks like I just stepped out of the salon. I used to get my hair cut at the same salon my straight-haired sister goes to. This was only my second "real" curly haircut. So I'm used to walking out the door and pulling my hair in a ponytail until I shower and style it myself. When I called I told the receptionist that I had curly hair and to assign a stylist experienced with that. I saw Amanda, told her it was my first time and that I've been experimenting with salons. She did a great cut, exactly what I asked for, wasn't afraid to be dramatic with my cut (I love my hair to have alot of body on top and I came equipped with many pictures). She dried it a little too much and I pulled it in a ponytail until I had the chance to style it myself. That night I received a call from the owner of the salon. She said she wasn't happy with my blow dry and would like me to come back at my convenience for a complimentary blow dry and a few tips by Maura, their curl expert. So I did and I am so happy. Her husband, who also works there, said he and his wife were worried when I left and wanted to make sure I was happy (must have been worried about my 'experimenting with salons' comment). Maura did a geat job styling and that night at the grocery store I was stopped by an older man to tell me how gorgeous I am..Maura really did a great job! (It did occur to me that he was paid by the salon, but the grocery store was 45 minutes from Phoenixville). I will definitely be a frequent client of Salon Fiber.

Stylist:

Valerie

Jun 09, 2010 - After discovering this website, I realized I hadn't been doing my hair justice by going to a salon not specialized in curly hair. So I researched reviews, found this salon (which is 30 minutes from me) and made the appointment. I was very optimistic and excited after reading all the reviews of Valerie's work. Unfortunately, I was let down. I didn't get a friendly vibe from the salon and Valerie was cold and indifferent. It was toward the end of the work day so maybe she was tired, but she was also cocky about her reviews on here after hearing another stylist say they both use the deva method. Personality aside, my cut was just ok. I came with pictures and was very clear with what I wanted: lots of layers on top without sacrificing length. I like my hair to have a lot of body and without the layers, it lays flat like an A shape around my head. She cut a few short pieces, and when I asked her to go a little more dramatic she was hesitant, but did go a little shorter where I asked. The next day my hair looked great, in comparison to what it was. However 3 days later, it was back to the dull locks with no body. I won't be returning. (This was only my first real "curly" hair cut, my second at Salon Fiber in Phoenixville was much better. 2 months later my hair still looks like I just stepped out of the salon).

Jun 09, 2010 - After discovering this website and getting sick of the same hairstyle with few layers I've had for years, I realized I needed a new salon. So I researched reviews and found this salon, which is about a half hour from me. I was optimistic after reading about how great Valerie is how welcoming the salon was. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I went after work at 630, I guess toward the end of their workday. The receptionist was nice, but Valerie felt cold and unpersonable. She was also cocky about the reviews she gets on here, when she overheard another stylist saying they both use the deva method. She did a fine cut, not exactly what I asked, was even hesitant to go shorter on the layers when I requested. I went in with pictures and was very clear on what I expected. My hair looked good for about 3 days until the layers were no longer noticeable and it was as if I had gone months without a cut. I won't be returning.
