Tabu Salon: Featuring Mark Barnhart

To put this review in perspective I must mention that I was a decade long customer of David J. Witchell's in Newtown Bucks County PA. That being said my standards are quite high, possibly the highest I know...

Look out Philly...there's a new stylist in town

I lived in NYC for many years and absolutely loved my hair stylist there. When I moved to Philly I didn't think I could find another person to replace him. Boy was I wrong. I found someone better! I was...

A for new stylist Jason

I recently had a cut and color by Tabu's newest stylist, Jason Norton. From the moment I entered the salon, he made me the number one priority. He took time to navigate through what I was looking for in a...

Jason is fantastic for cut and color!

I recently went to Tabu for the first time and Jason (one of the new stylists) was amazing! Over the past several years, my hair had gotten really overprocessed and he picked the perfect color to help me get...

Mark

Lets make this short because we all have things that need to get done, but I wanted to take the time to let the world know that Mark is a very talented stylist. His price is $26 for men and something like $38...

Tabu Salon Featuring: Mark J.

To put this review in perspective I must mention that I was a decade long customer of David J. Witchell's in Newtown Bucks County PA. That being said my standards are quite high, possibly the highest I know of. I first came to Mark in Spring of 2007, when I visit a stylist for the first time I tell them to give me the cut that they think will make me look the best. Well, I must say, Mark made me look my best. My girlfriend, friends and family all agree. That is why since August of 2007 when I fly in monthly from Detroit, I call Tabu to see Mark, because he is that good. In fact, I convinced my girlfriend to see Mark, and in his typical fashion, Mark, EARNED my girlfriend's business, too bad for Adolf Bieker (where she had gone her entire life). The fact that his price is so reasonable is only icing on the cake.

Not As Expensive As You Think!

Tabu is fantastic, and yes, it's more expensive than say, the Hair Cuttery... but get real! If you want to pay hair cutery prices, go there! I got an amazing hair cut from Mark for less than 40 dollars, and I...

Olde Citys only good spa

Nice location, most services are OK, except for their massages which are expensive, light handed, and don't begin to compare to Toppers.
