Services
Since it sometimes takes longer than expected, please make sure you are not pressed for time. We want you to be 100% satisfied with your results. We offer an array of conditioning, shine, and strengthening treatments that can be added to your service. Your stylist will consult with you and assess your personal hair needs to determine the best treatment for you.
I have been in the industry for many years, working towards bringing my vision to life. When I decided to open my own salon, I knew that I had to create something different, something that didn't exist on the Main Line. I wanted it to be a place where everyone felt beautiful and luxurious, while still maintaining affordability.
Unlike many other salons, we practice the highest form of team service. This means that the skills of our entire team are available to you. We don't lock you in to any one stylist. As long as there is time on the schedule and the skill is available, we will accommodate your needs without inconvenience or delay.
At Davines, we dare to do what we believe in and, rather than conforming to the mainstream, allow intuition to pave our path. This gives us the freedom to develop concepts and products that are original, authentic, and emotionally connected with people. Our work is a thoughtful balance of substance and style, nature and science, people and spirit.

Lisa is wonderful! I have thin hair and she made some suggestions I appreciated and even better, she listened to what I wanted. Not every stylist does that!
Precautions were taken against COVID and my appointment was on time.

It was my first visit! Tamera came highly recommended and she didn’t disappoint. I instantly trusted her as she shared her vast knowledge and understanding of my hair within seconds. I was asking her for a lot… to fix a bad cut and she simply knocked or out of the park. What she did best was explain why she needed to do certain cuts which instantly puts you at ease. Needless to say I immediately booked two other appointments with her! She’s awesome.

I came in after a series of color botches from other stylists and Lisa listened to what I wanted. She was up front with what was possible to achieve and still have healthy hair. She is super friendly too! Look forward to my next appointment!

My hair has always been ‘difficult’ until I came here! Now it looks great. Several different stylists have cut my hair - they have all been excellent! They have taken the time to show me how to reproduce the style at home. I am always impressed with the coloring, as well. They pay careful attention to what look I want. This is great salon in their new terrific location.

Abby was simply amazing. She was incredibly patient with my 11 year daughter who had a million questions about coloring her hair green. Abby was so upbeat, knowledgeable, and talented. Her customer service was superior and her excitement for her work was evident. My daughter absolutely loves her hair color and is already excited to return. We will definitely share with everyone that Abby is an amazing person to see—a wonderful addition to a great salon!

I was looking for a new Salon when I moved to the area and Salon True was excellent. Lauren did a fantastic job on my hair. She was very friendly and welcoming for it being my first visit. Additionally she listed to what I wanted done and provided her recommendations for my hair type to make sure it turned out well.
Very happy with my hair cut and overall experience!

Been getting my hair done here for years. It's like being part of a family. I have had a number of the stylists work on me and have not been disappointed with any of them. They always offer you drinks and snacks at your appointment. Thursday night appointments seem like happy hour. The whole staff tries to make everyone comfortable.
My color has always been fantastic, and they are willing to suggest a new look/ cut when I start to get bored with my hair. Always been happy.

I went to Salon True in Sept 2018 for a trial bridal hair appointment. Shannon did my hair and while she was great and we ultimately found a hairstyle that worked for me, the salon was unresponsive when I tried reaching out to book them for the wedding day. I wasn't necessarily thrilled with the final hairstyle, the price (they charged me ~170 for a trial...total waste), or the ambiance of the salon, but it was a very convenient location and it would have been a quick five minute drive to my wedding venue. I emailed and called on more than one occasion, but they were clearly not interested

I used to love them I did. However so many times I paid for my cut and color with tip and was not happy when I left. Sometimes it looked like they didn't do anything other times it looked like my hair was cut by my kid. I asked to not use a razor and by the time we got to the cut they forgot and it would
Use the razor. I was always rushed around or ignored while waiting it felt clicky. Everyone knew everyone and the whole life story of each other and despite going for years know one knew me and I felt unwelcome. They say you are getting a mainline cut and color for much cheaper not the case

Before I commence this review, I once loved and I mean LOVED going here. Tamera was hilarious and attentive. She gave me some nice color jobs and made the place welcoming despite the hectic hussle and bustle of all the stylists, guests, etc. With that out of the way, I will never go back. Why? Because customer service and poor quality coloring and styling nailed the coffin of me saying goodbye and good riddance.
My last hair appointment here was for taking grad photos as I was graduating from law school and that picture holds a super ton of value (as all grad photos do) and I was on a time crunch

I loved my Salon True experience! It was so unique and I found the whole experience to be empowering. Do people say that after a haircut? I've never but it's the best way to describe their approach. I've heard so many good things about this Salon so I decided to try it out. When I walked in, the vibe was very positive; the front desk woman greeted me with a smile and made sure I got comfortable while I waited for my stylist. Tamera was right on time and sat me down in her chair for my consultation. During that first 10 minutes, I knew I was in the right place. We discussed

I love this place. I've been to many salons in my life. This is by far the best. Their customer service is outstanding and the prices are very reasonable. I see Sarah Cunningham and she is so talented. She helped me transition to gray and I love it! I read where someone else said the place is a gem on the Main Line but without the prices or the pretentiousness and that is so true. Just a lovely group of people who always make me feel comfortable and welcome.

After a nightmarish blonde highlight experience at another local salon (think brassy, Carrot Top orange), I called Salon True for help after reading all of the positive reviews. Not only was Lauren able to fit me in for an emergency color correction (and very soon after I called to schedule), but she completely neutralized the brassiness into bright, beautiful blonde highlights. Kirby then applied a toner to further nuke any sign of the orange mess and gave me a great blowdry afterwards. I'm so happy Salon True came to my (hair) rescue - I'll be returning for sure!!!

Ok, I have to first admit I have never actually had a service at this salon, BUT I met the amazing owner she was visiting DC l. T is a truly captivating and wonderful person. She is so warm gracious with a touch of sass and pinch of spunk. I imagine she brings this fun ambiance to her salon so I will definitely visit this salon next time I'm in Philly!

Last time I went (in March 2016) Katie was unavailable so I got a newer hairstylist - she was just OK. The cut itself I wasn't over-the-top with, but it was fine. I just didn't feel listened to - I said at the beginning not to blow it straight and to leave my hair curly/wavy, but then she started blowing it out anyway. The place is still classy and nice, just felt that my hairstylist wasn't experienced enough to be worth the price.

I recently moved to the area, and left my favorite hairdresser behind. I was worried about finding a new salon, but I wanted to go local, so after some Yelp-searching, I ended up calling Salon True because of their stellar reviews.
I got a very cute short cut, and blow dry style from Ashley who is a part-timer at the salon. I got loads of compliments from friends. I really like my new do.
The salon itself is modern, comfortable, clean and organized. It's right on the main strip in Ardmore, so it's very convenient as well. I'll definitely be back!

My update:
Almost a year later and I am STILL so so happy about my decision to come to Salon True.
The personable staff makes you really feel at home in this salon, which is definitely important.
Shannon is still my stylist, and she has yet to disappoint me!
Last night I wanted a 'blonder' ombre. I brought in several photos and was WOWED by the end result! As a natural brunette who has had highlights and ombre, this is the blondest I have ever been yet it looks SO natural. Which can be hard to do!
I was so excited leaving the salon and couldn't wait to show it off. I've already
