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.

See your scalp up close and understand what your hair truly needs. Head Lab is designed for anyone experiencing buildup, irritation, or changes in scalp health—especially during seasonal shifts.

Not all hair needs the same kind of hydration—and that’s exactly why this treatment is customized.

Expect softer, smoother, more resilient hair that feels refreshed and revived.

Curls knotting up or impossible to detangle? Our Tangle Release Complex softens and smooths all textures to reduce knots, breakage, and styling stress—while boosting definition and shine.
