Where
Curls
Meet
CultureFringe Salon is more than a space for great hair — it’s a creative hub where community, art, and self-expression live side-by-side. From real client transformations to local art shows and inclusive events, this is where the magic of Fringe shines outside the salon chair.
Client Transformations
Real Curls. Real People. Real Results.
We celebrate every texture, every journey, and every curl pattern. Whether you’re embracing your waves for the first time or recovering from years of heat styling, our before-and-after gallery shows what’s possible when your hair is seen, supported, and styled by curl experts.
🎨 The Fringe Gallery
Art on the Walls. Culture in the Air.
Our salon doubles as a rotating art gallery featuring work from Philadelphia-based artists. From bold visuals to interactive displays, we curate pieces that reflect our values: diversity, individuality, sustainability, and creative freedom.
Past exhibitions have included:
Multimedia shows by interdisciplinary local artists
DJ sets by renowned electronic music artists
Open mic moments for vocal and poetry
Group shows welcome!

Events, Panels and Pop-Ups
Fringe isn’t just about cuts — it’s about connection.
We regularly host:
Curl Talks: community panels about natural texture journeys
Product Swap Pop-Ups: bring your unused products, leave with something new
Gallery Nights & First Fridays: meet artists, sip wine, vibe with your neighbors
Workshops: learn twist-outs, refresh techniques, and styling tricks in real time
All events are inclusive, body-positive, and community-driven — no gatekeeping, just good energy and better hair.
Want to co-host or lead an event? Let’s make it happen.

Bok Building
We’re proud to call the Bok Building our home — a former vocational school turned creative hub in the heart of South Philly. Fringe is part of a growing collective of artists, makers, small businesses, and visionaries who work, build, and dream inside these iconic halls.
Located in a historic Art Deco building that now houses more than 200 tenants, Bok gives us a home surrounded by Philly’s most inspiring creators — and we love being part of the energy.
What Bok Means to Us:
A vibrant mix of artists, florists, photographers, and makers we collaborate with often
A natural source of connection to local events and clients
A perfect setting for art openings, product pop-ups, and creative styling sessions
An ever-growing community that supports our values: sustainability, individuality, and local love
You might find your next favorite ceramicist or kombucha maker just down the hall.
You might also discover that your stylist is prepping a wedding party through BokWed, the in-house wedding collective that brings couples, creatives, and vendors together under one (very cool) roof.
