Salon Oko — Local services in Philadelphia

They fit me in same day and all the staff were super friendly Shell was my stylist and she also was very sweet I just wish she communicated with me a bit more because it didnt turn out like the photos i showed her I have really thick hair and i wanted a bob but i wanted one that was more soft and fluffy than blunt and straight I also wanted it to be more bottom heavy and i thought the pictures showed that but the bottom ended up being thinned out too much not giving the look i wanted so im kind of sad about it Shell was really kind and admitted that there was a bit of miscommunication between us so i appreciated that. Its also a dry cut salon which ive never experienced before but since i have texture in my hair i think i prefer wet cutting so i can ask for a rough dry rather than a blow dry because i want to see what my cut will look like unstyled

Need to add to this because it is the next day and i woke up looking absolutely insane. She put some really short layers in an already short haircut which i didnt ask for When she said she would put layers i expected them to be on the longer side or very minimal The top layer of my head is sticking out like i got electrocuted i dont even know if there is anything to do about this because it’s already so short i just have to live with this until it grows out but im honestly really disappointed. I have gotten bobs before and none of them have looked this crazy even with my thick hair. Honestly it felt upsetting that she said that this wasnt the style for me because of my hair type, my hair was not the problem. Haircut is a 1 but im giving 2 because the staff were...

Finally Someone Knows What Golden Blond Is!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Hector style my hair today, and I cannot recommend him enough. I have naturally curly hair and asked for a curly cut. Too many salons don’t understand what that is or why it matters—but Hector did. He cut my hair perfectly so I have great volume without that dreaded mullet look. It looks fantastic.

Where Hector really blew me away was with the color. When I booked, they told me he was a color master, and they were right. I have been searching for years for someone who could give me a true golden blond ever since my favorite stylist moved on during Covid. Golden blond is a very specific shade—it's not ash, not natural, not light, and definitely not bleach. It’s golden. Many stylists shy away from it, but Hector nailed it.

He also did a balayage, and for the first time I actually understand the point of it. Instead of just light tips, the balayage added beautiful dimension all over my hair without looking like old-school stripes. The result is stunning.

I am completely in love with my hair, and beyond impressed with Hector’s skill and artistry. If you want someone who truly understands both curls and color,...

I visited OKO Salon today for a haircut and color with Hector, and I am absolutely thrilled with the stunning transformation he achieved with my hair. Walking in with long, flat, lifeless locks, I left with shiny, bouncy, and stylish hair that I couldn't be happier with. From the moment I showed Hector a picture of my desired look, he not only complimented it but also took the time to consult with me on how we could bring that vision to life.

Hector's expertise was evident as he explained the best approach for my hair, focusing on its health and removing any damaged ends. While I was initially surprised by the amount he cut off, I instantly saw the difference—shedding years and leaving me looking younger and fresher. His skillful dyeing of my roots left me feeling confident in his vision, and the end result exceeded my expectations.

The salon itself exudes a welcoming atmosphere. . The clientele and staff were all incredibly friendly, making it a pleasant experience overall.

I'm delighted to have found someone outside of New York who truly understands how to turn my straight, flat hair into a work of art. Thank you, Hector, for an exceptional experience—I'll be Hector's...
