Ali was fantastic! Great technique and definitely the best haircut I've had a long time!


Feb 03, 2025

Armand is very professional and a skilled hair specialist. I came to know him through a friend and now my family is regular with him.


Feb 01, 2025

My experience was wonderful! Nana was so kind despite me being late for our appointment. I got my first hair cut that I have loved in years! Top tier experience.


Jan 30, 2025

Hidden Gem! Was able to book an appointment ahead of time which is great for my work schedule! Booked with Ali and got one of the best fades i’ve ever gotten! See ya every two weeks now bud!


Jan 23, 2025

They are fantastic! The level of professionalism and kindness is superb! They basically transformed my look with a haircut. I’ve been getting my haircut in the Ponoci Studio for 4 years now. Armand, the owner, is my favorite and a hair sculptor! For the quality and service, this place is incredibly cheap!

Great haircut! Very personable


Jan 06, 2025

Armand & team are awesome. Friendly and professional. I walk out looking great every time.


Jan 06, 2025

Armand is the best! He is the only hairdresser my son will go to. He’s patient and kind and knows how to work with different hair types. My son always leaves the studio with a great haircut.


Jan 06, 2025

I've been to Ponoci Hair Studio twice now, and both visits have been great. The first time, Armand gave me a trim and cut my long bangs, which turned out great. On my second visit, Nana recommended some face-framing layers that really complemented my style. I loved the results both times! The atmosphere is always relaxed and friendly, making each visit a pleasant experience. I appreciate the personalized recommendations from both Armand and Nana—they really take the time to understand what you want and offer expert advice. I’m definitely happy with my hair both times and will be back for future cuts!


Dec 06, 2024

Great atmosphere, reasonable price and best of all attention to my hair needs and always a cut I’m happy with and they make sure.


Dec 06, 2024

It was my first time visiting. I’m very skeptic about the way I want my curly hair cut., I met Ali and he understood what I need I love my new hair cut. Definitely coming back


Dec 06, 2024

Nana cut and colored my hair to perfection. I received unsolicited compliments which just made my day.


Dec 06, 2024

Thank you so much Armand for take care of my hair I look my hair cut and my keratina, I appreciate 🙏🏼🩷


Dec 06, 2024

The best haircut I’ve had in awhile. I was struggling finding a place in the city that cut my hair well. Everyone was kind and the place was very clean! Definitely will be back!


Nov 06, 2024

Amazing first haircut with Armando. The first of many. Highly recommend.


Nov 06, 2024

Got my balyage and haircut done. Got the exact look I was going for.


Nov 06, 2024

I love my haircut from Armand. My hair has never been so healthy and bouncy from all the nice layers. Thank you!! Will be back :)


Nov 06, 2024

I went in looking for a very simple blowout with a curl at the bottom with photos from their website as reference. I have very curly hair and I know it’s not the easiest to do, but I have never been to a salon and left with a worse blow out. The blowout looked nothing like the photo - I left with actual curls in my hair. My roots and hair on the bottom of my head were frizzy and not done properly. It would be fine except the hair on the bottom of my head no longer has curls. They used no product in my hair and now I have to redo it for an event I have tonight. I will not be returning.


Oct 06, 2024

Amazing blow out from Carlos. Will definitely be back!


Oct 06, 2024

Armand has been cutting my hair for 10 years. He is a kind and thoughtful person. He always gives amazing cuts and his salon is gorgeous. If you can't get an appointment with Armand I still recommend Ponoci for it's warm and inviting atmosphere.


Oct 06, 2024

Nana gave me a terrific new style with a wash-and-go haircut that makes me happy. It was my first time at Ponoci, and I'll be returning--both for the expert cut and genuinely nice vibe in the salon. Update October 2024: Still loving my haircuts by Nana at Ponoci.


Sep 06, 2024

I loved my first experience at Ponoci! Nana did an amazing job and was very efficient. The staff got me in and out in such a great amount of time. They were very nice and listened to exactly what I wanted. Can not recommend Nana enough! I’ve gotten so many compliments on my haircut


Sep 06, 2024

I requested a similar style I always have that was done by another hair stylist and I am happy with my refreshed haircut


Jul 06, 2024

I have gotten two haircuts by Carlos and I have been very happy with his work each time. Carlos takes the time to listen and makes very helpful suggestions. I love the symmetry of the haircut and it grows out beautifully as well. My hair has movement and volume which I was lacking. I feel very pretty with this haircut and the styling effort is minimal. Carlos is very talented.

Just left Ponoci’s and cannot say enough wonderful things about the salon! I am passing through Philly on my way to a reunion in Boston and asked if they’d be able to accommodate me last minute for a blow out and they were amazing! The people who work there are warm and welcoming and very skilled with hair. At the same time I was getting my hair done, several men came in for haircuts and styles and left looking fabulous :) it was fun to be a fly on the wall in a new city and I was just so impressed by the way they made me feel like family! Cannot recommend enough to Philly locals looking for a wonderful salon experience or those passing through trying to add a little more fan to their day :) THANK YOU Ponoci team!!!!


May 06, 2024

Came here for first time after seeing reviews and left disappointed. I grew my hair out for 2 months to get a style and I got all of my length chopped off in 15 minutes. I had hesitation when my stylist was cutting my hair thinking that everywhere else I have been to they always use side clips to be cautious of not shortening the length but she just chopped off my entire hair giving me a terrible look. I thought I could work it at home with styling but even after hours of struggling , I can’t fix it . My hair is making my face shape look so weird. It has left all the length in the middle and everything from the side is chopped off. I would really hope that when we describe our needs, the stylists are listening and considering those instead of doing a cookie cutter style. I’ll have to wait 2 more months now to get back my lengths.


May 06, 2024

Katie was great!!


May 06, 2024

I had my first haircut since moving to Philly with Katie at Ponoci. My hair had grown quite long and I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted coming in, but Katie was extremely helpful in figuring out a shorter style that still had texture to work with. I would recommend Ponoci and Katie to a friend without hesitation.


May 06, 2024

I’ve recently started going to Ponoci Hair Studio, I do not want to get my hair done anywhere else. I was looking for someone that could help repair some damage in my hair, and my stylist exceeded my expectations. In addition to repairing my hair, Ponoci is a great place to just relax. The entire staff is very friendly and professional, and they make the experience comfortable and enjoyable throughout. I also love the products that they use; my hair feels very well-hydrated and healthy whenever I leave the salon. I’ve been working with Carlos, and he is fantastic. I was surprised by how quickly he was able to help create a new style for me that I loved. He listened to exactly what I needed, and I felt that my hair was in safe hands. He’s definitely masterful at what he does, and I greatly appreciate him and all of the stylists at Ponoci.


May 06, 2024

Katie gave a great haircut and knew exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend


Apr 06, 2024

Fantastic hair studio! I have gone to a different place for the last 5 years, but a friend recommended Ponoci and Armand, and I was not disappointed. I will definitely be back!
