Curl-Centered Hair Services in South Philly

Haircare That Works With Your Texture — Not Against It

At Fringe Salon, we specialize in services made for wavy, curly, and coily textures, prioritizing health, hydration, and easy everyday styling. Every service is tailored to your curl pattern, routine, and hair goals.

Haircuts

Curly Cut

Our signature service. Curls are cut dry and in their natural state to create shape, definition, and movement that reflects how your hair lives day-to-day. This service includes a dry cut, a cleanse + condition, and styling with curl-specific techniques.

Wet Cut (Straight Hair)

Also called a precision cut, this service is great if you prefer smooth, stretched, or blow-dried styles. Your hair is washed and cut wet, then styled with a paddle brush or round brush depending on your finish preference.

Important:
If your hair is very long or dense, please book the “Wet Cut – Long/Dense” option to allow enough time.

Pixie Cut

A short, fashion-forward cut for clients wanting something softer and more styled than a clipper fade. This service can be done wet or dry, depending on hair type and desired finish.

Includes a full wash and style.

Transformation Cut

Making a major change? This service is for you if you're planning to cut off 8 inches or more — whether for a big chop, hair donation, or a full new look.

We build in extra time to:

  • Discuss your goals

  • Choose your new shape

  • Execute a dry or wet cut with precision

  • Style and educate so you walk out loving the new you

💬 Required for major length changes, donation cuts, or total transformations.

Barber Style Cut

This is a classic short clipper cut:

  • Clippers on the sides

  • Scissors on top

  • Includes a wash and style

Ideal for those who want a fade or clean, tapered finish with sharp lines and low maintenance.

moisture Treatment

This two-part treatment is a true hydration hero. We start with a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup and open the hair cuticle. Then we apply a heat-activated deep moisture mask that penetrates the hair for 20 minutes, restoring bounce, softness, and manageability. Perfect for dried out hair.

Detox Treatment

This 3-step detox treatment removes deep impurities like minerals, medications, chlorine, and product buildup that dull color and weigh down curls.

Here’s what’s included:

  1. Un-Do-Goo Clarifying Shampoo – removes surface resin and buildup

  2. Vitamin C Crystal Gel – extracts metals and impurities from deep within the hair

  3. Miracle Repair – a protein-rich finisher to rebuild strength and shine

ProBoost Strengthening Treatment

If your hair is snagging, splitting, or feeling weak after chemical services, this is the treatment for you. CurlBond ProBoost repairs disulfide bonds from the inside out, helping restore strength, reduce breakage, and add light structure — especially to fine, fragile curls.

  • 5-minute processing

  • No heat required

  • Ideal pre-cut or post-color

Note: Severely damaged ends may need to be trimmed for best results.

Tangle Release Service

Curls knotting up or impossible to detangle? This Tangle Release Complex smooths and softens fine to coarse textures to reduce knots, breakage, and styling stress. Strengthens the hair, defines curls, and boosts shine.

Must be paired with a Blowout or CurlyWash

Color Services

Color is personal — and we treat it that way. Our stylists use curl-conscious, pattern-preserving color techniques to give you the look you want without compromising your hair’s health or definition.

All color services require a consultation before booking. Pricing varies based on:

  • Length and density of your hair

  • Product used (measured precisely)

  • Number of steps required for your final look

During your Color Consultation, we’ll walk you through process options, realistic timelines, maintenance expectations, and price estimates.

Double Process Color

Lighten first, then tone to reach your desired result

Foil Highlights / Teasy Lights
