Oggi Salon & Spa is FABULOUS!

by Phoebe D.

Reno is a real artist when it comes to working with hair. I love the cuts he has given me over 18 years and he is AMAZING with color! I wouldn't go anywhere else. As for price, Oggi is worth every penny. Whether blown dry or tumbled out of a sleeping bag my hair looks chic. Always. It's ALL in the cut. He's a Master!

Reno and Oggi

by Anonymous

I have been going to Reno for 3yrs and I wouldn't go anywhere else. He is globally taught and works with your hair type. He's more or an artist then anywhere else I have ever gone. I'm always satisfied.

Nice place, but not necessarily worth the $

by anna w. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 7,181

this is a perfectly satisfactory salon near rittenhouse square in philadelphia. i've gone to only one hairstylist there (desiree), but i had her cut and highlight my hair at least six times, until she raised her prices and then left the salon altogether. honestly, the cuts were about as good as what i usually get at supercuts (where i'm going now). beware the reception staff at oggi - they are horrendously rude and nothing like the stylists themselves in terms of demeanor.

PROS: good location, pleasant atmosphere
CONS: too expensive, rude reception staff

by KellyFureySerota

I have been going to Henry every 4-5 weeks for many years.He is wonderful & very enthuastic. The entire staff is very friendly. I truly do not understand any remarks about Jo Ann.She has always been warm and friendly to me. The salon is very busy but she always goes out of way to be nice. My husband insists on going with me:Henry,Jo Ann & Richard have always been especially nice to him also!

Pros: Henry

Charles Algard -- best haircut ever.

by McMathes

I've been a regular at Oggi (where I followed Charles) for years now. He's da bomb, and I always love that he knows what to do with my hair. He knows to push me when I might not want to try something and when to keep it conservative. I have literally been stopped by strangers on the street after appointments only to have them ask where I got my hair done. it's that good. From time to time, I've tried other salons (usually because Charles couldn't see me and I needed a cut desperately). No one else comes close. I should say that all the cuts and styles I've seen walk out of the salon look great. The Customer Service is quite friendly -- don't let the demeanor of the front desk put you off. They are actually very nice -- it's just staffed with people who honestly have a look like they are always frowning. It's literally only skin-deep, and once they know you, it's fine. The only thing standing between this review and 5 stars is the decor, which was great in the 90s, but which could use an updating. The place is always super-clean, but it's starting to look like a salon from the set of "Friends." A little change (and larger coffee cups) would be much appreciated.

Pros: Hair stylists, fantastic. Both for color and cuts, it's THE place in Philadelphia

Cons: dated decor

I travel from DC to Oggi for Cynthia's artistry

by solaar

Like many other reviewers here, I followed Cynthia from Pileggi (once I tracked her down after several meh haircuts elsewhere), and I will NOT let her slip off my radar again; in fact, I live in DC now and nevertheless find it well worthwhile to make the commute for a cut, as I did just this weekend. I liked the first cut she gave me a lot, but after only a short time I came to feel like she has an uncanny instinct for, not only the particularities of my hair, but also my mood and my circumstances (e.g. "I have a job interview at this sort of place" or "I am trying to seduce this sort of person" or "I have no time for styling these days"). Let's just say she's called it EXACTLY right in each case. (And Cynthia if you happen to read these things, this last cut totally tipped the scales in my favor! Tell you all about it next month...) I just wish I could recreate the styling she adds at the end, it never looks quite so secksy as when she does it. One more thing: I have never, ever, had haircuts that stay looking good for so long. As to the "vibe" of the place? Look: if they do a fantastic job, I don't really care whether the person who cuts my hair, washes it, rings up the bill, answers the phone, etc., is nice or polite or a freakazoid from outer space; that said, I've had nothing but pleasant experience at Oggi in all regards, and especially with Cynthia who is just a sweetheart in addition to being a genius of all things hair. They, and she, are professional, pleasant (which is different from obsequious), and cool without being pretentious. I recommend Oggi, and in particular Cynthia, most strongly and without reservation.

Pros: Cynthia, staff, professionalism, location

Cons: parking

The fantastic Cynthia

by lofiluna

I have been following Cynthia for nearly a decade. My hair is an important accessory, and Cynthia never fails to bring out its beauty. She takes time with me to really understand the image I want to project and nails it every time! What a confidence booster! Her haircuts even grow out into amazing new dos. I don't know how she does it, but at this point I don't even have to tell her what I want, she knows and I am NEVER disappointed. I have referred at least a dozen of my friends and family to her and each one has stayed on as a loyal client. Go Cynthia!!!

Kudos to Richard and Oggi Salon

by tcdupont

I went to another high end salon in Rittenhouse only to be left with a lopsided haircut. I informed my stylist one side seemed longer than another and he clipped a few hairs and sent me on my way. When I got home and looked in the mirror one side was obviously still longer than the other. I decided to call Oggi Salon as I had bought product there earlier in the week and explained the situation and they fit me even though it was the end of the day on Saturday. Richard did a wonderful job correcting the other stylist's mistakes and was very friendly as well. I plan to see him again. Thanks to Richard and Oggi!

Pros: Very accomodating and friendly staff

OGGI is great b/c of Cynthia!

by gcat77

I agree with the other positive reviews of Cynthia. I have followed her around for about 8 years and will continue to do so. She is an amazing stylist and the only person I have found who knows how to properly cut and color my curly hair. She loves her work and has a fun loving attitude. I'm always excited to see her.
Her work speaks for itself.

Best Hair Cut & Color

by lisamatera

I had to share my experience about Oggi Salon's Cynthia Peditto. I followed her from Pileggi. For many years I would leave salons disappointed, when I first went to Cindy, she spent time with me, discussing my hair color, texture, my face shape. We talked about my career & lifestyle, the image I was looking to project, amount of time I had getting ready, etc. She asked me to name/point out celebrities whose hair/look I admired, and she thoroughly discussed with me her ideas and what she planned to do. She did not disappoint. My whole head and hair have never looked so good. I frequently get compliments about my hair (this NEVER happened to me before.) Obviously, I am a big fan of Cindy and her ability to listen well, her fine skills as a hair cutter and brilliance as a colorist. She's a natural.
Cindy, herself, has a mane of red, curly locks. Her personality buzzes with fun and energy. When I leave her salon, I feel like I have been infused with a bolt of energy and I leave looking my best and feeling like I can do anything.
While Cindy's look is edgy and current, she doesn't project her look onto others (unless that's what you're looking for). She does what the person in the chair wants.
As for the salon, it is big and bright. At first, it may seem intimidating, but everyone there is very friendly and wants to make your visit a nice pampered one.
Let's face it, salons are expensive. When I go, I want to feel like my expectations have been superceded. Cindy and the Oggi staff make me feel like I made the best choice. And, I keep going back!

Pros: Cindy's talent, location, the salon environment

Cons: Parking

I my hair stylist!

by cnms

A girlfriend who had been seeing Cynthia for years directed me to Oggi when I needed to find a new stylist. I used to sport very short hair, and Cynthia is amazing with short do's. When I decided to go long again, she successfully got me through what might have otherwise been the "awkward phases" of growing my hair out. I have consistently received compliments on my hair--at every length--thanks to Cynthia. She's a dream--incredibly talented and giving a level of attention to detail that would make Martha Stewart proud. She's also got a great memory and is hilariously funny.

Cynthia and the entire staff at Oggi are wonderfully professional, gracious and highly talented. I cannot be happier with my experience with Oggi--and, most especially--Cynthia.

Pros: Cynthia, the always-phenomenal service

Cons: None

best haircut and fabulous staff...

by theverve32

PhillyGalaxy has it all wrong. I?ve been going to Cynthia fro years and have always had a great experience. She is enthusiastic about her work and she is a fabulous stylist and tkes the time to listen to what you want and the look your trying to achieve. My wife is always very happy the results as am I. Cynthia is a true friend, not just someone I see from time to time, and we talk life and what?s going on, which makes you feel at home. The entire staff is very friendly and I?ll continue to go back to Oggi as long as I can.

Pros: Cynthia's talent, staff, location

Cons: none to report.

best highlights

by alimarg

Jon Christopher gave me the best highlights! I wasn't sure if I wanted highlights due to their need for constant maintenance (I hate roots!). Jon Christopher did an amazing job and the highlights look so natural in my hair. I am so happy I got them! It's been a few months since I've gotten my highlights and you can barely even see my roots. I am a brunette and I've gotten so many compliments on my highlights. One of my fellow brunette friends even told me that if she were to get highlights, she would get them from Jon Christopher!

Richard is the best stylist in Philadelphia, EASY

by deb432

I have tried my fair share of colorist and hair cutters in Philadelphia and none have even done close to as well a job with my hair as Richard has. He really is worth every penny (and he costs many pennies). He also is a very genuine guy. I usually like to keep to myself while getting my hair done but I really enjoy talking to him. He just is the coolest BEST guy ever. He does what you want as opposed to most hair dressers who do their own interpretation of what you want. Also Joanne at the front desk is really dynamite. She does her job well and is very helpful. I have heard some people describe her as kind of gruff but that is because she takes what she does seriously, which is why she is so good at it. She is sharp as a razor. I really can't say enough good about Oggi. I also went through my fair share of hair stylists at Oggi before settling on Richard, and never had a bad experience with any other stylists. Oggi is just an all around well run salon. I always trusted Joanne's opinion when she recommended another stylist and she has never steered me wrong. Recommend going in during a week day if possible, when the salon is less busy (also easier to get appointments).

Oggi: the truth, and nothing but the truth :D

by foolzjulz

**Review by High School student**
I've lived in Philadelphia my whole life, and even though I'm "young" I still no bad from good. Oggi is great! Everyone of their employees are more than capable of doing a great job, too! My mom goes there weekly for a manicure and her nails always look lovely. About every two month I get my legs waxed, not only is it done quickly, but the staff are very personable. Both my mom and I have get our haircut at Oggi. My mom changes stylist, but my hair is always styled by Cynthia. She's very friendly and outgoing, and everyone I know who has their hair styled by her loves it! Sometimes the scheduling gets messed up, but what do you expect from an award winning center city salon and spa that is full of people? Yes, the women at the front desk aren't always the friendliest, but they know what they're doing and don't want to get caught up with a bitching customer. Thats the only time I've ever seen them be impolite. I recommend going to Oggi for anyone of their services!
Hope this review helped!

Pros: EVERYTHING

Cons: parking can be hard (it is center city), it can seem a bit pricey but high maitence has a cost

great color, great cut

by sugaree71

I went to Andrea for a full head of higlights about 8 weeks ago and my color still looks great. I showed her some pictures and she really took the time to listen to what I wanted and she made suggestions to correct what was my current disasterous mix of highlights. She's really sweet and did a fabulous job. Make sure you schedule early though because she gets booked up especially on saturdays. I went back today to get a desperately needed haircut. I have thick curly hair and I normally go to Joseph at Signatures, but the last few times I've gone to price jumped from $100 to $125 and my most recent haircut was uneven and seemingly incomplete (left very thick and untamed in the back). I asked the receptionist who at Oggi was good with curly hair and she suggested Cynthia (who I found out has her own mane of very curly hair). She was fantastic, very easy-going, and knew what needed to be done to correct the overall heaviness of my hair. She blew it straight for me (at record speed I might add), so I haven't seen it curly yet, but I can definitely tell that it's a good cut. I highly recommend Cynthia and Andrea. And the receptionist was perfectly nice, don't listen to those other reviews, they probably showed up during a rush.

Pros: Cynthia and Andrea

Cons: none that I can think of

****BEST STYLIST IN PHILLY****

by penngirl

I went to Jon Christopher based on a recommendation and what an amazing experience. I have very, long curly hair that can be anything but fun to manage if you don't know what you are doing. Jon did FANTASTIC, thorough work on my hair. He spent adequate time straighting and did a perfect trim. This is by far the most precise hair cut I have ever had. His only goal is your happiness and he works to meet it!!! I would highly recommend him if you want to leave a salon feeling elated and gorgeous!!!!!!!!

Nothing like a "Jon cut"

by IamMuzam

There is something to be said about getting a haircut and absolutely loving it. You feel great, you look great, and it makes your confidence shoot through the roof. I used to live in Philadelphia and would get my haircut from Jon Christopher all the time. It was the only hair cutting experience i swore by. After living in Philly, I decided to move to New York to pursue other ventures. I thought to myself that it would be easy finding someone to cut my hair in NY. I mean New York is supposed to be the fashion capitol of the world, right? It didn't take me long to realize that getting a GREAT haircut wouldn't be an easy job. After a few years and some inadequate haircuts, i knew it was time to go back to JON.
I didn't realize just how much i missed jon cutting my hair and how a great haircut looked until I had Jon Christopher cut my hair again. I realize that there can never really be a subsitute for something so amazing. I will travel from New York at least once a month just so I can have Jon cut my hair. There's nothing like the feeling of leaving a salon and feeling completely new. If you havent been to Jon yet, you don't know what you are missing. After all, there is nothing like a "Jon cut"

Amazing hairstylist!

by sdf33

I've been going to Jon Fishwick to have my hair done for almost 20 years now, and I must say he is the best. I've never had so many strangers compliment me on my highlights or haircut as I have since going to him. His personality and demeanor are amazing. Sitting in his chair for an hour feels like 5 minutes because time flies with him. He listens to your ideas about a hairstyle while putting in his own professional ideas. He will not hesitate to say what will look best on you, while still incorperating what you would like. He is not only an amazing hairstylist but an awesome person. I'd recommend over and over and over again to anyone. He truly is the best!

Pros: Amazing atmosphere

Cons: nothing bad to say!

My New Favorite!!!!!!

I recently moved to Philly and was looking for a new place to get my hair done when I came across the Oggi salon. As soon as I walked in I felt comfortable!!! I don't know how other people are when they first get their hair cut at a new place but I was super nervous. I had my hair cut and colored done by Jon Christopher. He was really nice and worked with me. Jon was honest , took his time and gave me lots of options!! Which was really important to me. In the end, my new cut and color came out awesome! He rocks! I least I have 1 new favorite in my new town. Thanks JON

I love my hair sylist at Oggi, Jon Christopher! I met John when I was out with a friend one evening before I started going to him and he was just so down to earth, knowledgeable about hair and interesting to talk to that I wanted to go to him for my hair. He is schooled me on the techniques that work best for my curly hair when I started going to him and it's never looked better. I am so happy he's in town.

Wonderful cut and subtle highlights with Cynthia

by autumninphilly

I recently moved to Philadelphia and had yet to have my hair cut or colored in the city. I made an appointment with Cynthia at Oggi, for a cut and partial highlights. I am delighted with the results! I was worried that she would not understand that I wanted VERY SUBTLE highlights -- most of my friends don't even know that my hair is colored. And Cynthia had very bright hair that no one would describe as subtle. Nevertheless, she was thoughtful, a good listener, and very professional. She was friendly but not overly chatty. I am so happy that I found the right person in Philly, and I will definitely be going back to her.

Congrats Andrea Rothschild on glowing review in ALLURE magazine!!!

by prosteticleg

I'm thankful every day that I found Andrea, she saved me from bad dye job hell! If you go to her with a request, she gives it to you. I've seen her clients with special effects purple hair to beautifully subtle blonde highlights, and a lot in between. This is a rare skill, as all of you with a bad dye job or haircut can attest to. Simply put, Andrea is the best colorist in Philadelphia. I should know because I've probably experienced the worst, and Andrea fixed my hair color, good as new. Susan, Andrea's understudy and mini-me, is an expert in training, schooled by the best, and should have her own chair soon at OGGI. I would confidently reccomend Susan's skill as well, once she's set up on her own.

Pros: Great color, I've had good waxing here too. REASONABLY PRICED.

Cons: The receptionist is brusque, but she isn't the one touching your hair, so who cares?

make sure stylist is in good mood

by ezgoin

I have had the best haircuts and color at Oggie, and the WORST haircut of my life. When I arrived (15 minutes early) for my haircut I could tell right away that Reno was tired and didn't want to be there. Unfortunately, this was the day I wanted a new style cut. I had photos of a previous style, MY hair (not some model), front, back and side views. Reno wasn't finished when his next client arrived and he clearly wasn't interested in my hair. I pointed out that the cut wasn't anything like the style in the photos. Reno was clearly annoyed and began literall chopping away. For the record, I have never been late for an appointment and always (except this time) tip over 20%!

Color - Andrea; Cut - Reno !

by lauren23

Andrea is wonderful at color - after just a quick conversation with her, she understands what you're looking for and uses her creativity and expertise to suggest a style. You can always trust her - and she keeps it fresh each time you go. Really, really talented and wonderful at what she does.

Reno - awesome hair cut - especially for curly, long hair. He is an expert at understanding how hair falls and how to wear it - his cuts grow out so even and balanced - I end up waiting months before having to go back.

Pros: Andrea / Reno

Cons: Hard to schedule appointments just days in advance. Really call ahead!

Andrea!

by eightieslady1980

Andrea is not only a colorist, she is an artist!
My hair is extremely naturally blonde to where I have to get lowlights added in order to get some depth.
This can be a difficult thing with color because my hair doesn't really have any pigment in it from being so light, and you really need someone who has experience and who knows what they are doing with different colors & mixes for this.
Andrea gets my color right every time, even when I change colors or if I want to go chunkier or more natural with the lowlights.

Pros: Prices are affordable and not ridiculously high like others in the same area. *Andrea is very friendly.

Cons: You cannot tip through your credit card. I forget to bring cash with me EVERY TIME!

There are good stylists there and will do what you want as long as you tell them explicitly. if you have any further problems with the staff please direct your questions and concerns to Victor, Rino, or Fiorella, who are the owners (Jo An is not an owner), they will most likely entertain your questions.

Andrea is a haircolor genius.

by tunanoodlecaserole

Andrea Rothschild is the most talented colorist I've ever been to. She seemed to breeze through an 8 hour color correction without damaging by hair, bringing me from dark red to gingery brown. Her prices were very reasonable, and she's really nice.
she recomended a deep conditioner that actually works (because, girlfriends, we all know most of them don't) My hair was uneven and sort of dull to begin with, and now its the most flattering color I've ever had. Not too light, not too dark, exactly what i wanted. I have recomended Andrea to all of my friends and even my mother, and I would recomend her to anyone. I have total confidence in her skills, and I'm notoriously picky when it comes to my hair.

Pros: Talent, Price (reasonable considering)

Cons: Parking is difficult

Cindy Peditto IS incredible!!!

by katadam

At 40 years old I had never colored my hair before, and after some debating and conculting with Cindy, I finally let her work her magic. I am absolutely addicted to the beautiful and bold highlights she has enhanced me with....Everywhere I go people stop stare and compliment me..The ultimate confirmation that not only am I happy, but most people I come on contact with say the same. And most importantly she can cut hair like no one else I've seen. It grows out amazingly and looks better each week! Cindy is THEEE only stylist for me. She's worth every penny and you will leave with a BIG smile on your face.

Great waxing- see Debbe

I love the service at this place!! When I call, they are so courteous. They try their best to work with my schedule. When I came in, they were not snooty at all. They made me feel high end, but they didn't act like I was lucky to be there (like other places in town). Debbe was so helpful. The last person I saw messed up my eyebrows terribly. Debbe talked to me about where to grow them out and how to fix them. She gave me skin tips also and they have totally worked. My FACE looks great, not just my brows. Definitely go there.

Definitely avoid if you want any waxing done!

by na2007

I went to Oggi for waxing and the waxing lady was horrible!! First, she waxed in a very dim-lit room. When I came home, I found so many spots she missed. Second, I asked for the bikini area to be waxed, but I couldnt even wear boy shorts with the "bikini" wax she gave me - and I'm not even that hairy! The courtesy of the staff was okay, but I would definitely not recommend this place for waxing!

Great cuts and color!!

by thealps

I have been going to Cynthia Peditto for my cut and color for 8 years. I have followed her to whatever salon she has been at, and even while I lived in other cities - I made the trip back to Philly for her work. She is incredibly helpful and has the best, most fun, high energy you could want. From short to long, blonde to red, Cynthia has been the mastermind behind, what I believe, have been 8 great years of new 'dos! and I wouldn't trust anyone else to bring scissors near my hair. Cynthia cares about her clients, not only if they are happy with their hair, but what is going on with them in general - she becomes your friend and is just an extremely caring individual.

Pros: Great haircuts and color work; Friendly

I've sent many friends to her and they've all been happy. I go to Reno for a cut. His cuts are so great and grow out very nicely - so I'm not spending $$ on a haircut once a month. He is also always willing to cut my bangs which is another money saver. Staff - for the most part - are exceptionally nice.

Pros: Andrea, Reno, location

Highly Recommend Jeffrey

by phillyjenn

I have been a loyal customer of this salon for 4 years. In the entire time I have been a patron, I have never been treated poorly or even indifferently by any of the staff. I routinely get my hair cut and highlighted by Jeffrey. He does a fantastic job with the color and gives expert advice on low lights for the fall. (A testament to this is that he is a certified color instructor.) Due to my busy schedule with work, I sometimes call at the last minute for an appointment. Jeffrey is always very accommodating, will work me in to his schedule, and never compromises a good cut for time constraints. Beyond his skill as a stylist, Jeffrey has a fantastic personality. He treats each of his customers with the same courtesy regardless of financial background, a rare exception in this industry.
As for other salon services, I have used Henry for up-do's and makeup for several gala events. Henry is very creative and artistic rendering a hairstyle that is classic and yet distinctive. The same is true for his application of makeup as he has the ability to identify someone's best facial features and accentuate them. He is also moderate with the application of foundation so that the effect is a natural one and not the clown look that some places produce.
All in all, I highly recommmend this salon. One thing to note as that it is on the expensive side. But you get what you pay for!

Pros: Jeffrey for color. Henry for make up and up-do's. Location.

Cons: Expensive.

Very Pleased!

by smk0501

I recently moved into Center City and started to go to another salon other than Oggi. I went three times to this other salon and was only happy with the cut and color once. I went to Oggi for the first time and had a great experience. The receptionists were nice and Jeff was my stylist and he was GREAT! I walked out of there and everyone complimented my hair color. I have now found my salon in Philly and I will continue to be a loyal customer of Jeff's.

Pros: Jeff and staff

Cons: I didn't see any

Jeffrey

by nachobeezness

I'm a guy, and I don't ordinarily contribute to these boards, but wanted to put in a word for Jeffrey -- who does a great job at men's haircuts.

As for the receptionists, it's been my experience that they warm up as one becomes a regular, not that their treatment of the customer differs based on how well someone has dressed that morning. I've been getting my haircut there for a year now and am treated very, very well by all -- from the front desk to the hairwashers.

Highly recommend Jeffrey

by hausaholic

I recently moved to Philly and had tried out a different salon other than Oggi, which I was very unhappy with. A friend of mine had then recommended this salon, and Jeff was my stylist. I couldn't have been more pleased. Jeff was very polite, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. I have been complimented on my hair by complete strangers, and I always end up telling everyone I come across about him. I won't ever have to go to a different salon as long as Jeff will be working here.

Pros: Jeff

Go to Linda, she is the BEST!

by lisa_1234

Yes, the front desk receptionists are arrogant and snoby, but that will not stop me from going to Linda. I have been with her since she was at VOG and have been her client ever since. When I first went to her my hair was about five different colors! I had went to other colorists whom tried to work ther magic but failed. Linda didn't! I can now say that I have found an amazing colorist and I am amazed at how she gives me exactly what I want. She made me a blonde, a red head, and a brunette and did not once give me something that I did not like. Go to Linda and let her work her magic on you!

Great Staff except for the front desk.

by radlindz

I have gotten a blow out and massage at Oggi. The staff is great. I believe the lady that owns the salon is the nasty one. Unless you are dripping with jewels she could careless to help you. She basically takes your money and then looks at you like "what the hell so you want." I have plenty of money to blow at salons but only go there for specific things b/c I don't really care to be a patron of her shop.
