What Makes Us Different

What Makes Us Different 〰️

  • No blowouts, no guesswork. Our signature curly cuts are crafted on natural, unmanipulated hair so we can see how your curls live day-to-day. The result? A shape that enhances your pattern and a routine that feels effortless.

  • Color that respects your texture. We use gentle, curl-conscious formulas and personalized placement techniques that enhance dimension without disrupting your curl integrity.

  • Dryness? Breakage? We’ve got you. Our treatment services are designed to restore hydration, detox, and strength to every strand β€” perfect for reviving tired curls.

Community, Creativity, and Curls

Fringe is more than a salon β€” it’s a space where art, self-expression, and community come together. Our in-house art gallery features work from Philly-based artists, and we host inclusive curl events that celebrate everyone’s textures and patterns. Every appointment supports a creative, local ecosystem that goes far beyond hair.

We’re also Green Circle Certified, meaning we divert salon waste from landfills and recycle 95% of our materials β€” because beauty should never come at the planet’s expense.

Thank you Erin!

β€œI have had years of bad experiences of having my curly hair cut by people who didn't understand curly hair. I trust Erin at Fringe to cut my hair dry and with respect to the curls. It is not as easy as you might think. She is educated in the process and I will continue to go to her to maintain good hair condition and cuts!”
