Indy Salon — Local services in Philadelphia

I followed my stylist Alexey to his new salon in Fishtown and was not disappointed in the slightest. This one happens to be a little closer to my house plus it's always fun to try a newly opened space. I was able to quickly secure a parking spot on the street, although beware that they do check for 2 hour parking limit and ticket anyone without a permit. There is an $11 parking lot nearby, so that is also a great option. Just like the other location, Indy Salon is trendy and stylish but is also cozy and inviting at the same time. Large windows open to the street, providing lots of natural light as well as "entertainment" of watching people walk their dogs while you are sitting in the chair. Speaking of the chairs, they are so very comfortable that I even complimented on them. They offered me drinks and coffee, which was very welcomed on a dreary and rainy day. WiFi is available so I was able to work while waiting for all the color processing.

Chatting with Alexey is always such a pleasure. I look forward to all the newest restaurant recs and travel ideas. During this visit, it was also a pleasure to meet and chat with his assistant Tevy. She was super friendly, sweet and gentle with my hair.

Alexey's work does not need any praise, it speaks for itself when I get tons of compliments on my hair. He is simply the best. He was able to transform my hair into healthy frizz-free hair that I proudly wear today. I usually see him for my root touch ups and occasional balayage to throw in some blond streaks that frame my face. What I love the most is that there is little maintenance; as these highlights grow out,m they absolutely do not need to be retouched. I've gotten multiple compliments on my color. It always looks natural, shiny and fresh.

I also occasionally get Cezanne Smoothing Treatment for my wavy but mostly frizzy hair. I've always stayed away from any type of Keratin for fear of it destroying my hair. I'll say that Cezanne almost made my hair stronger and healthier. Again, this isn't something that needs to be maintained but an occasional treatment (I do about once a year) goes a long way for me with proper hair care.

Lastly, I love Alexey's innovation in his salons; the ease of making appointments, electronic waivers, etc. He is always striving to keep up with latest technology and trends and always doing fun and exciting stuff...

Seriously amazing, Alyssa really listened to me and asked good questions and gave me exactly what I wanted. I have never left a salon loving my haircut, until today. Thank you so much!

Editing review to include my recent experience which again was above and beyond amazing. I was platinum blonde and growing out my roots but needed to make a big change so I can grow out my natural color gracefully. I also really wanted to have it done by the end of the month so it was fresh for a friend's wedding. Alyssa graciously came in on a Monday (when they are usually closed) to accommodate my schedule and timeline. The project took 5 hours total and came out beautifully! THANK...

From being greeted at the front desk right up until I was finishing my appointment, everything was great and everyone was friendly and down to earth. That is huge in my book. The Salon has a nice upbeat vibe. My stylist Alyssa was great. I appreciate that she took the time & really listened to what I wanted. I wanted highlights without bleach, not everyone is comfortable doing this and not everyone does this well. She did an AMAZING job. My color turned out beautifully, better than I could’ve hoped for. Cut is excellent as well. Thank you Alyssa! I will...
