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.

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.

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.


Head Spa Treatment

Healthy hair starts at the scalp—and our Head Spa Treatments are designed to restore both.

At Fringe Salon, we pair the wellness-driven chemistry of Malibu C with the advanced hydration technology of the Takara Belmont Spa Mist to create a true spa experience for your hair.

The Spa Mist transforms purified water into ultra-fine droplets using vibration and gentle heat, allowing treatments to penetrate deeper for better hydration, more effective cleansing, and longer-lasting results.

At the center of every treatment is our salon MVP: UnDoGoo Clarifier. This powerful cleanser removes buildup and resets the hair so every service can perform at its best.

Powered by Malibu C’s crystalized vitamin C technology, these treatments target dullness, hard water minerals, scalp imbalance, and dryness—without harsh chemicals.

For full spa services, we pair the Spa Mist with a processing cap for deeper absorption. For quick add-ons, our open-mist method delivers targeted results without the cap.

The payoff: lighter curls, healthier scalp, faster dry time, and hydration that lasts.

Whether you’re booking a full treatment or a Mini Rehab add-on, this is care that goes beyond the surface—because your hair deserves more than a quick fix.
