Starshine Salon

I recently got a massage by Jere, one of two new massage therapists at Starshine. She was a very talented and personable masseuse and I felt like a million bucks afterward. Cant wait to visit again. Reasonable prices, too!

Su-Shan and her team are some of the absolute best in the industry! I have gone to many salons, and Starshine Salon is one of the few places that feel like they truly care about me. The atmosphere is upbeat and lacking any mental toxicity or stress.Ive been going to Mandy for a while now. She mixes up a delightful custom color to match whatever flavour my hair will be that season! Each appointment, she has expertly done vibrant colors and given me a stylish cut. And, because of her attention, my hair feels healthier than its been in years!

I needed a haircut and live in the area and checked it out. Mandy was awesome and did a great job on the cut!! I also had her shape my eyebrows! 10/10 :)

Mandy was friendly, thoughtful, and gentle! she did an excellent job on my grown out curtain bangs and face shaping layers. she intuitively understood my hair texture and my waves are back!

Loved everything about my experience at Starshine. My hair looks beautiful and I’ll absolutely be back!

I had my first appointment at Starshine today with Megan, and it was my first appointment overall at a salon. I was nervous in general it being my first salon experience and I have naturally wavy hair. My hair looked amazing afterwards, and was better than what I could have imagined, very fresh and flattering to my hair & face type. The entire experience was welcoming and cozy! I felt like she listened to my questions and input every step of the way. It was more than I could have asked for and I highly recommend this salon!

I recently had my hair cut by Megan, Starshines new stylist. It was my first time at Starshine and I am so very pleased. Megan really listened to me and made sure that I was happy. She also proposed some ideas to liven up the cut, which I really appreciate. As a low-maintenance hair person who is open to new ideas, I loved strategizing with her and hearing her thoughts - after all, she is the professional and knows hair 1000 times better than I do! We also had a great chat that she let me lead - I very much felt like we could have talked or not talked and she would go with the mood that I set. So if youre a talker, great! If not, thats cool too. Thank you Megan for the amazing cut and experience! I will definitely be returning.I also wanted to add that this salon is doing a great job with infection prevention measures during COVID. This was a top priority for me and I felt very safe!

I recently had my hair cut and on a separate appointment colored by Megan one of the stylists at the Starshine.Megan was thorough with the consultation, making sure she understood my needs and desired outcome. I didn’t feel rushed at all, but the services were very timely. I felt at ease in the salon because it wasn’t some big pretentious salon.Megan was friendly and warm. She was happy to chat with me but silence felt comfortable as well. she was focused on her work even while chatting and i never felt like she was wasting time.My hair is very long and wavy/somewhat curly. I’ve had many poor experiences with other stylists but Megan did an amazing job with the cut. With the color she whipped together a concoction of color to make sure it was exactly what i wanted. i don’t know what she did to my hair but my hair looks like dolls hair - in the best way possible ! it’s literally never looked or felt so smooth. the color is full of depth and variation in shades that i’ve never seen on my hair before. Megan gave me my confidence back after not having my hair cut or colored in over two years.The prices seemed extremely fair, especially given the pandemic I am more than happy to pay whatever for these services. please be sure to tip your service providers handsomely !!I recently moved to the area and feel so thankful to have found such an amazing stylist !! I will absolutely be returning.

Can’t recommend enough! Megan did a great job handling my thick and wavy hair and my hair has never been this low maintenance in my life. This review is long overdue since I got my hair cut with Megan a few months ago, but the fact that I’m still enjoying the aftermath of that haircut reminded me that the world needs to know how great this place is! I will definitely be back! Plus the comic shop in the front is cool too.

I wanted to get my hair done before the New Year and I was nervous about going to a new salon. I was honestly coming in with low expectations of walking out with the exact color and cut that I had in my mind because I have been asking for the same thing at different salons and it’s never been exactly how I wanted it. Maybe I haven’t been explaining it well the other times but Megan got it SPOT ON. I asked for (lots of) highlights to overall brighten my hair without having to dye my whole head. I had screenshots and she really listened to what I wanted.Megan was really thorough even with my EXTREMELY thick hair. She took the time to section and tease very small sections of my hair to get the blended look that I wanted. It took about 2.5 hours just to get all the foils in! I loved how consistent she was with checking the foils and making sure the color wasn’t too off from the ones that had already been processing for hours.I felt so bad for the thickness of my hair and how long my appointment was taking but I never once felt rushed or that she would be annoyed with how thick my hair was. Getting to the salon was a little odd because I was not expecting it to be in the back of a comic store but it felt so cozy and welcoming. I will definitely be back!!

Had my eye on Starshine for awhile and finally decided to check it out after getting a bad haircut elsewhere that I was desperate to get fixed. Megan was really astute in figuring out what I wanted remedied. She really worked some magic, in the process giving me the best haircut Ive had since the pandemic began. Really quick, friendly service thats reasonably priced for its Main Street location, plus the salon itself is very cute and cozy. Looking forward to future visits!

I just got the best haircut of my life from this salon. My pandemic hair was out of control and I just couldnt deal with it anymore, so I emailed to request their first available appointment. I was worried it would be a while before they had an opening seeing as theyre so popular but was able to schedule an appointment with Megan just about a week out.I was a little nervous seeing a new stylist since I was going from longer hair to a pretty short bob, but Megan was EXTREMELY personable, thoughtful and talented. She was able to recreate — and improve on, honestly — a bob Id had years ago just based on a few pictures. Better yet, the rates are really reasonable considering what some salons charge. Id highly recommend this place to anyone!

These babes know whats up. The place is cool. The staff is friendly, kind, and extremely accommodating. And I got one of the best cuts/highlights Ive ever had there. Su-Shin is an absolute delight and did a beautiful job. 10/10. Would recommend.

Megan is amazing! It took me years to find someone who does my hair as I like it

Starshine Salon is the best salon you can ever imagine. The girls here are so fantastic at taking care of you and doing anything they can to make it the best hair care ever. So far I have gotten my hair colored twice by Grace. Not only did she do a perfect job of multicolored look but she is such a sweetheart and puts so much passion into getting to to look just right! I have been so happy with my coloring and my family has adored it! If you ever need your hair done and want a fantastic experience definitely see Grace!!! You wont regret it!!

Went in for a non-binary haircut that took less than an hour. Got charged for a woman’s cut price without any question from the hairstylist. I’m not sure why they even put non-binary on their list if they don’t follow that. Felt like I expressed that I wanted minimal layers but they were cut too high and too many. Overall okay haircut, but price is pretty high, for feeling like I wasn’t listened to about layer length and my non-binary identity

Megan was so awesome! I just moved to the area and I’ve been looking for a good salon and she exceeded my expectations. I got my hair colored and a pretty major haircut. The color came out beautifully, and the cut was perfect - and I have some pretty crazy curly hair! I haven’t felt this good about my hair in a long long time - if you’re in the Philly area and are looking for a salon, this is the place to go.

It’s very hard to find a quality salon that’s not pretentious and super expensive at the same time. I scheduled an appointment online and came in for a cut today. It’s located in the back of a comic book store owned by the salon owner’s husband. I thought it was adorable that this couple owns two businesses and meshed them together in creative and unique way. My stylist Christina was amazing. She gave me exactly what I wanted as far as my cut went and offered to curl my hair at the end because she had some extra time. I felt very comfortable being here and I can’t wait to return next month for some color!

Ive been getting haircuts here pretty regularly for about a year, and I love it! The salon is small enough that I really feel like I can make a meaningful connection with both my stylist and the salon owner. My stylist and I share some similar interests, so we have good conversations. She always does a great job with my hair and gets what Im looking for.

Cant say enough good things! Did a color consult with Su-Shan and she was so inviting and thorough. Grace ended up doing my hair and getting the PERFECT (and elusive!!) dusty lavender witch vibes look. Love the color, love the cut, love this salon! So happy

You might not think of this humble boutique salon as much until youve experienced the serious professional talent that it holds inside. The stylists are exceptional and make you feel like they are styling you for a hollywood movie scene. Thank you Lauren for the Amazing cut, Im looking super fly

We recently moved to the Pennsylvania area and needed to start over with a new hair salon. In reading all of the reviews about Su-Shan and Starshine Salon, we decided to take a chance and give it a try. We were having difficulty in using the online appointment calendar to get an appointment for all 4 of us on the same day. I sent an email and received an immediate response from Su-Shan, who immediately accommodated all 4 of us by offering to stay late. She even reached out when an earlier appointment opened up. On the day we showed up, she was on time if not early - a rare quality in this business. She didnt race us through our appointments. Asking in what order we wanted to go in. She spent quality time with each of us. Making all of us feel as comfortable as possible. My 10 year old son talked Su-Shans ear off and she was great with him. My 15 year old son wanted his hair styled and she did it with no extra charge. She spent a lot of time with me, since I was getting my hair colored, highlighted, cut, washed & styled. She even gave us coin for the meter and wouldnt take anything in return. When it came time to pay, she really took care of us. My 10 year old had longer hair and she asked if he wanted to donate it, since he donated his hair, his haircut was complimentary. My husband did the same, so his cut was complimentary as well. Even straightening my older sons hair she didnt charge for the extra work. For me, she said there was an old groupon coupon and she gave me that. This adventure was a very pleasant experience. One we all agreed we would do again. Not only did everyone at the salon make us feel very comfortable, we all walked out liking our hair. Fantastic experience and place.

Megan did an absolutely stunning job with my hair! I cannot recommend them enough, and I will definitely be back.

I had a great experience getting my hair cut by Su-Shan! She is a wonderful person and runs an excellent business. Shes a delight to talk to, which is great when youre there for a long time. All for a reasonable price!

Su-shan is amazing! She is so well traveled, really an expert with all hair types. I walk away from every appointment feeling fresh and stylish. (Her colorwork is fantastic as well!) Her skill gives me the confidence to try really fun cuts (purple/turquoise/pink fauxhawk? Lets do this!) Starshine is such a comfortable salon, very chill, with artwork from local artists adorning the walls. My favorite salon in the Philly area.

Grace is the best! I completely trust her with drastic cuts when I’m terrible at maintenance and she is a true artist with colors. My favorite hair stylist ever

Starshine Salon is a great salon with a homey feel. I was able to drink coffee and/or water. There was a mix up with one of their former employees, but Su-Shan quickly fixed the issue for me. Su-Shan is an amazing stylist. She was able to talk with me in order to figure out what I was envisioning for my hair--(blonde with rose highlights). She also made me feel comfortable to chat during my experience.

Kristina did a wonderful job, turning hair dreams into reality. The salon atmosphere was comfortable & price was a pleasant surprise after such a great experience.

Grace did a phenomenal job taming my unruly mom hair and was a pleasure to speak with. Su-Shan is running a great shop and Im sure theyll thrive at their newer, larger location!

A low-key, affordable, unpretentious salon? Say what? Grace was ready for me as soon as I walked in and gave me a great cut with wonderful attention to detail, all for less than $30.Truly a gem.

Everyone at Starshine are absolutely phenomenal. They bend over backwards to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for. Send them an email to make an appointment with one of the fabulously talented artists that have availability!

Since I moved from the DR Ive had the problem of finding someone who could do my hair correctly... After a couple of bad experiences with another Super place I decided to try something different. I think I have finally find someone who understands my head. Im very pleased with the results. Thanks!!!

Grace is the best hairdresser Ive ever had the honor of visiting, shes cut and dyed my hair a dozen times, but one time she said get er done unironically so shes on thin ice

Meghan Menk did a super job of cutting my fine curly hair; I recommend her highly.

Su-shan is amazing! The products she uses are gentle and safe and her colors and cuts are impeccable.
