What to look for when choosing a hair salon in Philadelphia

• Walk-ins or appointments. Ask whether they take walk-ins, how far out appointments book, and whether you can request the same stylist each time.
• Pricing up front. Color and treatments vary a lot by length and condition. Ask for a price range for what you want before you sit down, not after.
• The stylist's work, not the shop's sign. Ask to see recent work from the person who would do yours, especially for color or a big change.
