Techniques Salon & Spa

It’s a beautiful salon which is part of my 3 stars. Water, coffee, cookies and beautiful waiting area… even though I didn’t sit there long.
I paid for the lowest end stylist because all I need is a shampoo and long layers. She did ok with that but I ended up leaving kind of disappointed because the layers were kind of short (no way to fix that) and she didn’t even ask about my bangs, which I always want cut.
I guess I could «chop» that down to getting what you pay for. But you would think at a high end salon, something as simple as long layers and making sure your client is happy would be normal. Not to mention I ended up paying like $ 70 !
I would consider going back though simply for the amazing job the lady did shampooing my hair. Such a good head massage. However I could get the same crappy cut from supercuts for $ 10 next time…

I had been going to this salon for 7 years and loved it. Sam has been cutting and dying my hair all these years and always did a wonderful job. She always knew what I wanted without me having to say much. Only reason I don’t go here anymore is because I moved across the country. Miss you Sam!

It’s always a challenge to find a new stylist & hair salon after relocating to a new state. I went here based on Unilocal reviews & proximity to my job. I also plan to check out their massage options in the future.
Angela colored & cut my hair. I should have taken before/​after photos because the transformation was wonderful. She did a fantastic job. She gave me a number of styling tips as well. I don’t prefer to talk a whole lot while getting my haircut and Angela didn’t seem to feel the need to talk the entire time either. Glad to have found her right away!
Everyone in the salon was very friendly — from my initial call to schedule an appointment to washing my hair. I got some free samples for being a new customer, including an OPI nail polish.
I will definitely return. Stylists work on a tiered pricing system so customers can find a price within their budget. They also sell jewelry. Next time!

I was referred by someone I work with and knows the area pretty well. I had been on vacation and very busy during the week so I needed a close by salon to visit during lunch break. I walked in and was initially told there was no opening for an hour. Which is fine I work close by I would have just came back. In the middle of booking my appointment the waxer became avilable and I was able to be serviced right away. Yay!
The techichian (Tina) was very friendly and listened to my needs. I wanted my eyebrows cleaned up being this was my first time and did not want the tech thinning them out too much. She trimmed them and cleaned them up without affecting my shape. Perfect! The wax felt a little too warm and I was a little worried it may irritate my sensitive skin but it did not.
The interior is so spa like and clean. Parking is a little weird as you have to drive on the lot and down a sltight space that only accomodates one vehicle at a time so make sure you proceed with caution as there could be a vehicle trying to come out while you are trying to enter.
They also gave me a nice gift bag for being a new customer with a full sized hair product and nail polish. That was a nice touch. I would say it is on the pricey side but on a day that I need to be seen right away i will definately stop in again.

I now also go to Techniques for my bikini waxes. I LOVE Tina!!! She is amazing. It’s so worth the money here to get a full bikini wax. You can tell Tina has been doing this for a long time!!! I was a little nervous at first but she welcomed me and said «we’re not modest here, let’s just do it!» and I knew I made the right decision by picking her as my wax lady! She’s knowledgeable and quick, I love it. She had information/​tips for me. I am usually in and out for a wax within 15 minutes. I had a wax appointment once have the owner, Crissy. She was also great but I love Tina. Definitely recommend her!!!

Sam has been cutting and coloring my hair for about a year now. She is fun, personable and very good at what she does. You can tell that every stylist at this salon has an extreme passion for what they do.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I am always able to make sme day appointments which is really convenient.

I just had my first appointment with Techniques and I am truly blown away.
A bit of background. I like to look good, but often can’t find the time to get a haircut so I often resorted to buzz cutting my own head. It worked and didn’t look half bad. However, I was looking for something longer given that winter is in full force.
I found Techniques through Unilocal,saw it was close by, and gave it a go. I was able to get an appointment today, the same day as I called (score!).
The salon is nice, clean, has a little jewelry area. Would definitely consider going for some spa services.
My stylist was Angie and she completely rocked my haircut. I told her what I normally did when I got my hair cut but was looking for a bit of a change but along the same lines. I can’t even begin to tell you how satisfied I am with how my hair came out. The attention to detail is exquisite and it came out flawless. Though I might not be in the area for much longer, I’d definitely come back for the sole purpose of getting my hair cut.

Soup to nuts, this place was a terrible experience. The girls working the counter had an attitude from the moment I walked in to get my wife a gift card. I then got a quote and gift card, and called a week later to make her surprise appointment, at which time I received a price quote again, for the same person and level stylist, but a different price. It was a gift for her first mother’s day, a day without the kids to relax.
While at the salon, she sits down to get her hair done, and they plop a crying baby RIGHT NEXT TO HER, as the mother got her hair done across the salon! Really???
The colorist mixed up colors and gave her brown instead of blonde, which she had to go back AGAIN to fix, and they then charged her $ 75 MORE than the second quote. Ultimately, it was $ 200+ for 2trips with bad colored highlights, a crappy style, vapid mean-​girl-​esque receptionists and listening to someone else’s screaming baby for two hours. What a nightmare experience. There’s a reason while all the reviews of this place say the same thing… Had to go twice… Bad attitudes… Truly a waste of money and time. If you are considering this place, don’t bother… Go to a real salon in philly.

I was able to get a same day appointment with megan to fix my color disaster from two previous salons. I came in for a quick consult to figure out what option would be best and came back couple hours later for my appointment. Megan was great during the consult. She told me exactly what i should and shouldn’t do so not to damage my locks. Since i was a new customer they gave me a welcome goodie bag with a sample of full-​size product and other samples. I couldn’t give the fifth star because i left with some color marks on my forehead and neck which took me a bit to get off at home. But all in all, i was very happy with her service and the price of the salon.

I visited Techniques just a few weeks ago and have finally found a home for my hair! As many of the other Unilocalers have said, the vibe here is very relaxing and calming, everyone who works here is super friendly and courteous. Most importantly, you don’t feel like you’re constantly being harassed to buy products — something I’ve experienced at several salons that totally ruins the «comfort» factor of getting your hair done.
I would highly recommend my stylist, Angie. She understood what I was looking for right away, worked efficiently, but thoroughly, and I left the salon with exactly the look I wanted and a gift bag with a full-​sized product! Pretty unheard of, if you ask me. Yes, the price tag is slightly steep, but I’d say it’s totally worth it if you’re looking for a quality experience without the snooty factor.

Finding a new stylist is a very trying process. After moving back East, I’ve tried a couple places, some that I liked, some I didn’t. But location is also a big factor.
This is a fun place, good music, comfortable setting, doors open for some fresh air coming in. Spa upstairs, salon and beautiful jewelry downstairs. Located right near the dog park I frequent with my pup, I’m very happy to have picked this spot to try, as I already have my next appointment made.
Meagan was great. She was fun to chat with, but didn’t push the conversation. She got the color at what I was exactly looking for, and the cut is spot on. Price was comparable to other places I’ve been to in NJ and that made me know they weren’t trying to over charge.
Everyone from the owner to the one shampoo/​massaging my head were all super friendly and seemed like they enjoyed being here.
Plus, for being a first time client, I went home with a goodie bag filled with products and samples to try out. Also, I bought a beautiful necklace, and most likely will be checking some more out next time.

I started coming here over 10 years ago. My hair was breaking due to my former overzealous hairdresser who would give me a perm and haircolor. My hair was very damaged. Techniques repaired the damage. Over the years I’ve had many different hairstyles and haircolors w/​and without hilights. Initially the previoius owner (Brian) did my hair. Sheryl took over where he left off and I alway get compliments on my hair! I had an issue with breakage that Sheryl and owner Christy helped me determine it was due to too much protein in my system and on my hair… no more breakage! Recently had an awesome facial with Laura. This is an excellent salon with a great caring team! That includes everyone from the front desk, shampoo staff, stylists, skincare team… Thank you Techniques!

They destroyed my hair TWICE!!! Two different stylists unevenly chopped and hacked at my hair. I went back a third time to get them to fix it and they still messed it up and never refunded me or appologized. The girls were too busy chatting and both in quite a hurry and wrecked a very simple short layered haircut that now looks like a big brown lunch box!!!

Great haircuts. Relaxing scalp massages during your shampoo. Clean, calming décor.
Wait a minute, where am I going with this review? I have to say something manly… oh yeah, really good looking hair stylists. Now that I got that chauvinism out of the way: Techniques is the place to get a great mens’ haircut. Make an appointment and you will be seen on time and will be on your way in under a half hour.
Love this place!

Could not be happier with them! It was my first time and they treated me like a princess. Free samples and a full size product were waiting for me when I arrived. Super friendly staff. Prices are VERY reasonable and I was happy with the cut, style and stylist. I will definitely return.

I travel to south jersey just to come to this hair salon. I discovered this salon by high recommendation when visiting my sister who lives in the area. When you first walk in, it feels like something you would find in New York City. It is upscale for the area, a little pricey if you may ask me, but it is definitely worth it. The lobby area is really comfortable and they have jewelry and other accessories for you to look at while waiting. Rose is my hairstylist and she never lets me down. She does a fantastic job. And I truly think she is my hair god, my hair has transformed ever since I started coming here. I usually only get a haircut because I’m a student paying her way through college and don’t usually have much extra left over. I pay $ 42 for a haircut with Rose. She does a great blowout and is a great girl who really makes the travel time worth it!

I went to Techniques for about 9 years before I moved over to PA. I miss my stylist Laura immensely. It was always enjoyable getting my hair cut and colored by her, we naturally became friends throughout the years of service. We still keep in touch! Laura always listened to what I had in mind for hair color or cut. I was several different colors over the years and she always gave good advice on should or shouldnt I do such-​and-​such. Laura definately knows her stuff!
The atmosphere is like the gentlemen who also reviewed before me stated– geared at the ladies yes, but that shouldnt deter any person from going. I had several massage throughout the years, facials etc. All top notch and worth the money.
In closing I never had a bad experience there. The staff is friendly and talented. And I miss Laura R !

The atmosphere is definitely geared towards women with soothing music, an overload of scents and a very fru-​fru vibe. On the other hand, everyone there is unbelievably friendly and accomodating to everyone, including some of the incredibly spoiled and rude soccer moms who go there. Been going there for years, I don’t let anyone but Tonya S. cut my hair. She knows exactly how to give you what you want and you are out in less than 30 minutes. In general, I see everything from trendy to classic to wacky coming out of there and it’s always well-​done. Prices have gone up over the past two years but I only get 6 – 8 cuts a year so I can deal.
