Theo’s of Princeton Salon

Awesome! Friendly and naturally the woman here do a great job. Stop wasting your time and money on those high price city cuts. The place is clean and products are high quality.

Theo is amazing master of hair! I was lucky to find only few great hairstylists in my life and she is definitely one of them! She cuts hail like it is the most important thing in life at the moment she does it. I am very happy and going back for more :)

Jade gave me an amazing haircut here. Even though I said ‘shoulder length’, she advised me to see how it looks a little longer first, and I didn’t regret it. Great communication. She gave me exactly the look I wanted!

Unfortunately I did not have such a great experience as other reviewers.
I found their Groupon deal for keratin treatment + cut + shampoo for $ 179. So instead of driving to my usual master to Hillsborough I thought it is amazing deal near me.
Before buying the Groupon I called and asked if they are available on Friday. They were. In addition they also told me that I should not buy the Groupon deal and they will give me the same service for the discounted price. I guess this should have warned me…
I did ask if they will charge me extra for my hair that are past my shoulders. Well, very nice lady on the phone informed me that no, I would not, as I am paying straight to them.
On Friday excited me arrived in the salon on time. Waited 20 minutes for my master to finish her work. Sat on a chair and… had the worst customer service possible.
Master (I believe she is actually the owner) got surprised by my length (they are not till my bum guys, they end right on top of my shoulder blades). I told her what was said to me during the booking. Then she asked the lady who booked me (information desk) if it is true.
I am already feeling bad that I get this kind of service right up front. I suggest them that I think I have to cancel my appointment… I get the response «oh I hope that is OK with you». Well, I guess there goes their customer service I.e. not giving a sh** about the customer.

Calling all my natural hair sisters! I am not kidding, if you go to Princeton or live around here and want to get your hair looking glossy for an event (or just for life), come here! Jade is a stylist there who specializes in doing all types of hair, including natural black hair! This is a rare find in Princeton let me tell you. All of my friends go to her now and I am trying to spread the good news. Plus the staff is so nice and I love the space. Go!

What a great find! Theo is lovely and she did a great job with my hair. I’m thrilled with the results and I had a great time chatting and relaxing in this very cool salon. I can’t wait to go back :)

I first met Theo when she graduated from beauty school and working in Princeton Market Fair. She gave me a fabulous haircut. I returned to her at La Jolie and at her current Salon. When I moved to Florida, I returned as often as I could and always had beautiful hair. Now I live in CA and don’t get east much. So, I’m referring my good friend Regina to enjoy Theo’s many talents now.

Theo has been cutting my hair since 2003, when I moved to Princeton. I find Theo and her staff to be very professional in terms of scheduling, greeting new and old customers, making reminder calls, and the like. Theo stays involved in the Princeton community and has regular events at the salon. And of course Theo is a great stylist! Although I moved to Philadelphia in 2010 I continue to go to Theo’s Salon… it’s worth the 25 minute drive from my office in Yardley.

I got a haircut here from Meghan. She did a solid job though I think we misunderstood each other in discussing the length and layering and it ended up a bit shorter than I had wanted, but I did get compliments on the haircut as it grew out a little.
This is the quietest hair salon that I have ever been to. Other than me and Meghan, the place was almost completely empty.

This is the 4^th place I’ve tried in Princeton, and I finally found a place I’m happy with. Meghan is GREAT. You can also get $ 10 off if you’re a Princeton student.

I generally get my hair cut when I go home, because my usual stylist is fast and cheap, but it’s been several months since I’ve been home so my hair was getting away from me. Decided to look up what was around, and this place was the most inexpensive for salon quality hair, on par with La Jolie, but the student cut with Meghan took another $ 10 off, which was great. I’m not a girly-​girl, so I like my hairstyles cute but low-​maintenance, which is why I can’t really justify spending a whole lot on hair…
Theo’s salon is cozy and funky, which I liked. Places like La Jolie are nice, but almost generically bland, and the spaces are cavernous for the amount of stuff actually going on. Theo’s had awesome cool lighting, and rocketship mirrors. Lots of character without being chintzy. Everyone was friendly. I’m not much of a salon-​chatter, but I don’t like it being dead silent, so I’m glad that the stylists and a few of the customers provided some buzz.
Meghan was super nice (wearing the cutest hat ever!) and helped me evaluate what kind of hair I could get. Based on how my hair was cut previously, I couldn’t get what I wanted, but Meghan wizarded my hair into something cute, bouncy and low-​maintenance for summer. I’ll definitely come back if I need another haircut in Princeton.

I walked in for a manicure and an eyebrow wax. It was such a chill, friendly atmosphere. Theo did my brow wax and was so sweet and did such a perfect job. They are extremely attentive to detail and provide their customers with utmost care. She threw in a fun little eye makeup sess for free! So cute, will definitely be back here. Wish I had known it when I was an undergrad!
