If you are looking for a salon in Philadelphia, you definitely need to check out the Richard Nicholas Hair Studio

Here are a few things customers have been saying about this salon:

I have lived in Philadelphia forever and have to tried every saloon in town. I was never fully satisfied with my hair until I met Joe M. at Richard Nicholas.

In my opinion he is the best stylist/colorist in this city. He is great to talk to and has kept my hair cut and color updated over the years. Richard Nicholas has great service and always accommodates my busy schedule.

Thanks for the great cut Maria, it was so nice chatting with you. I really love my new style, I feel so much younger. See you in 6 weeks for color.

Went to Richard Nicholas Hair Studio this past weekend looking for a change. I had no particular haircut in mind, but I wanted something new, edgy and most importantly me. I walked in with curly locks almost shoulder length and exited with a hip cut that definitely accents my curls and lets everyone see my beautiful face (lucky you!).

I went to Rose and she was absolutely 2nd to none. She listened to me, she made sure she was not cutting TOO much off, she obviously knows how to cut curly hair and she was on time.

Well worth the trip downtown and I will come back, no questions asked.

-----

I was referred to Maria by my friend, Melly. To give me some confidences in trying a new stylist, she explained Maria' s background as a highly skilled hair designer who also did educational cutting classes for a major color distributor. With a bit of reservation, I made the appt.

The result, my cut and color look great. One stop shop with Maria. Thank you, Maria.

Nadine fixed a disastrous haircut I got years ago and I have been going to her ever since. My teenage boys go to her, too. Her cuts flatter, take off years, and grow in beautifully. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
I just recently got my first amazing haircut and it was at Richard NIcholas Hair Studio! My stylist was Rose, she was so sweet and knew exactly what i wanted!

i have really curly hair and every stylist that has ever put their hands on my head has given me harsh layers but Rose knew exactly how to cut and blend my layers so they didn't look like stacks or steps! She suggested different techniques on how to style my hair to prevent frizz and how to apply the product to my massive amount of hair. She gave so many good tips! I am finally not ashamed of my horrible curls they look beautiful! Thanks to Rose!!
I'm going back for color!

I am not surprised to see that Lizz B is getting so much praise. She has been cutting, highlighting, and sexifying my hair for 2 years now, and I will never stray. Make an appointment before word spreads even more. Then just show up and let her work her magic. I never tell her what I think I want, she usually tells me what my hair needs to make it look hot and I let her take it from there. People will stop you on the street and ask you who does your hair- seriously, a Lizz B haircut will make you provocative. Additionally, I have never been more at ease around a hairdresser- We chat like old friends, she tells me about her dogs and her boy and her latest tattoos and adventures, and every time I see her she wants an update on my job, love life, roommates, etc. She really gets to know you and wants to make you look your best. I have 4 friends who religiously go to her as well. She is the real deal- whether you're a boy or a girl, need something business-chic, Asymmetrical, or any color under the sun- She will revitalize your hair and you will turn heads. She is talented and cutting edge, and you should really take advantage of her while she's affordable and available in Philadelphia... because this girl spins hair into GOLD.

I have been going to this salon for years! In fact, I moved away from Philly, and just came back to the area, and back to Joe and Nick Sr. This place is warm, relaxed, and they offer wonderful haircare. Joe is great at coloring, and Nick Sr. gives my long curly hair the TLC it needs! Definitely worth the trip!

Pros: atmosphere, service

Cons: none

Here are a few things customers have been saying about this salon:

This place has more than one Joe. Ask for the one who is by the entrance. He'll give you a great haircut, and he's fun to talk to.

He's in demand, and for good reason, so be sure to call ahead for an appointment.
I was referred to Maria by a colleague. I have extremely wavy hair and my stylist didnt seem to be able to give me a good look. I went to Maria a few days ago. My hair never looked better. I am going back to her for color next week. Thanks, Maria. Great Meeting you.

As goofy as this may sound, it is so hard to get a decent men's haircut here in the city. I have been to numerous salons here in town, my hair looks great for the first couple of days and then.. A good friend recommended Maria Finizio and I cannot tell you how great this haircut is. It has been over 5 weeks and I wash, towel dry and go. My hair still looks great.

-----

Maria cut my hair 2 weeks ago. I am a 43 Yo, busy mom who like to looks current but hates to fuss too much with my hair. I drove ALL the way from NEW HOPE to have her cut my hair because she is so talented! I have not stopped getting compliments and hardly have to do much after washing it..I towel dry... and I'm on my way..AND it looks awesome!!! I also appreciated that she listened to my needs and didn't just do what SHE wanted...she gave suggestions and worked with me. I HIGHLY recommend this stylist!

Gabby is learning to cut hair under the supervision of Joey, a stylist that works at the salon. I volunteered for the workshop class and she did a fabulous job! I was also able to learn a lot about my own hair and different types of products I can use. My hair is very thick and curly and she perfected a cut that will help me manage my hair better. Thank you, Gab you did a great job!

Maria at Richard Nicholas Salon never lets me down. She's an amazing stylist and colorist. Maria listens to what you want and always cuts your hair better than than you imagined. She's great at understanding what you want at then creating it. It's always worth my time and money because when I get out of Maria's chair I feel and look great. I highly recommend her. The staff at Richard Nicholas Salon is very personable and will make your hairstyling experience a pleasure. Try it. You will be very satisfied that you did.
I've been going to RN for three years, and it's by far the best salon I've ever been to. I wouldn't trust my hair to anyone but Danielle. She just straightened my hair with a new Keratin Complex Relaxer and it looks Fantastic. After trying everything to straighten my color treated, thick, frizzy, out-of-control hair, Danielle solved my problem and even gave me an outstanding cut as well! The process is great because it didn't change the makeup of my hair like other straighteners. It won't leave that obvious line when it grows out. No burning, no lost hair, just great hair! I just blow-dry it now without spending time with a straight iron and tons of money on product. I've referred quite a few personal friends to Danielle George at RN. She's the Best.

I started going to Lizz at her last salon and followed her to Richard Nicholas. She does awesome blowouts - I always go to her when I have a special night. She can do amazing things with curls. She also cuts my hair and I always get the best look - even days after I leave the salon. She knows really well how to make curly hair look great curly and straight and that's not an easy thing! On top of it, she's a blast to talk to. She always has some new thing going on. On don't be fooled by her fun, crazy pink hair or outfits - she will only go dramatic with your hair if you ask =)

Pros: Staff is friendly and they have coupons for certain days

Cons: Besides the staff, the steel and grey colors are kind of harsh

I've been styled here since '97. I love the great work Joe Matteo does, and my narcissistic side loves the compliments that ensue.

I've read about other salons where clients talked about horrible vibes and sadly insecure people who projected their stuff on them.

Huh? In over eight years of getting cut (and occasionally colored) at Richard Nicholas, I've always felt like this was a place I was glad -- no thrilled -- to be.
It's also great to see others walking out of here with great hair and great flow. I lived in DC for 10 years and couldn't find a place like this. Should I find myself elsewhere, knowing that Richard Nicholas is just a train or plane away would be more than enough to keep me coming back.

PS: Great bookshop (with amazing tea in the basement) on the same block. SET

I moved to Philadelphia from NYC 8months ago. Since moving I have had several mediocre haircuts and 1 bad one, I finally decided to go back to NY to get my hair done by my amazing stylist that I've been going to for years.

Then, by some twist of fate I meet a woman in our offices, her hair is beautiful, really sharp, creative, but still professional. I ask her and she sends me to Liz at Richard Nicholas, now, I am a little skeptical after all the terrible cut's I've had, plus I have curly hair, this woman had straight. Maybe this Liz didn't do curly hair? Did i really want to risk another bad experience? Could my hair handle it? I already had the appointment at my old salon in NY. But I couldn't get over how great this woman's hair was.

So I did it. I made the appointment with Liz ( I still kept the one in NY just in case, don't judge me!)

I don't even have the words to describe how great i feel, this was by far the best cut/style i have ever gotten. Especially with my curls, it's perfect!
Liz was great, she made me feel right at home, and listened to everything i told her about what I was looking for, how much time i wanted to put into styling, we even booked some color in 2 weeks to really show off the cut. I can't wait! After the hr I spent with Liz, I left feeling like i not only found a really great stylist that "gets it", but also like I made a friend, how great is that? She was fantastic and I look forward to my next appointment with her. Plus, on my way home I had 3 different women and 1 man at the coffee shop tell me they liked my hair. That has never happened to me in my 30 years, I already loved the cut, now I felt even better!

Oh, and P.S. I canceled the appointment in my NY salon, I don't think I'll be going back there again.

Pros: Best Haircut Ever. Close Parking Lot. Good Prices.

Cons: none

I didnt need a pretentious atmosphere. I moved here from LA and needed a stylist I could trust. I loved the cut and color Maria gave me. Maria also was a lovely conversationalist. She showed interest in me ( not herself) and gave me great recommendations on how to enjoy the city.

See you soon Maria!

Being born into a hairdressing family I don't take lightly. I picked my first shears up at 15 and have never put them down. I put my heart, soul and all my energy into every haircut I approach. I understand that I cannot satisfy everyone. I am aware this is a risk that comes with consequences, but I can't say it does't shake my foundation at times, but I take the approach of moving a client into territory they have not gone.

Here are a few things customers have been saying about this salon:

I have nothing but great things to say about this salon! I discovered this salon when I relocated from the NYC Metro area 2 years ago and have never been disapointed.

I have never gotten so many compliments on my hair! Joey has worked with me to create a great style (that I can care for easily) and Rebecca is wonderful with my color--which is no easy task with LOTS of gray and my love of highlighted blonde hair.

The staff is great---and they also have the best shampoos in town.
I can't imagine going anywhere else!

Pros: Skilled Hair Professionals, Nice Ambience, Open 7 Days

Thanks for the great cut Maria, it was so nice chatting with you. I really love my new style, I feel so much younger. See you in 6 weeks for color.

I don't say this lightly, but Richard Nicholas really did give me with the best haircut I have ever had. I have seriously (unintentionally) abused my hair over the past 1 1/2 weeks since my haircut ranging from wind drying my hair in the car, not washing it, washing it, not brushing it, over brushing it, putting product in, and not using any product.

Throughout it all, I still have an amazing haircut and have received compliments on it throughout the last 1 1/2 weeks. While Joey provided steps for his trainee which, I think, included a physics equation, he and Abigail were absolutely meticulous in their care and attention to my hair and my comfort level. The result is a cut that is low maintenance and looks good in many settnings, a difficult feat for someone with very curly and thick hair. Hats off!!
Pros: Incredible cut, staff is very detail oriented, customer is really cared for
Cons: None

If you are looking for a great stylist who does not charge exorbitant prices, look no further. Richard Nicolas stylists all charge the same fee (currently $60 for cut/$60 for one color), which is fabulous...no hidden charges, no complicated stylist hierarchy. The salon is very chic yet comfortable, and their clientele is incredibly diverse.

Joe Matteo is amazing with both color and cuts. I first saw him after a disastrous highlighting job (terrible blonde on my dark brown hair), and in just one all-over color he gave me a beautiful brunette with a hint of violet-red (way better than my natural color). I have returned many times since, to have Joe cut my curly hair. I bring in photos of the cut I'd like, he replicates it exactly. I highly recommend Joe - he really understands color and he really listens to his clients.

Every time I go, I see many loyal, satisfied customers. With great stylists and great prices, its no wonder why.
