I have my hair in locks and finding a head wrap that fits comfortably without being to tight but not too loose when I sleep at night or wear during the day was kind of hard to find for a man. I bought a black and grey wrap and the first time I wore this head wrap was great. My head was able to breathe and the oils were able to keep their moisture in my hair. I Also like the material washing the head wrap is easy it dries quick and the color doesn’t bleed. If anyone is looking for a head wrap I would recommend this one.

Simone is awesome! I moved to NJ from TX and I was very worried about going to someone new. She is very professional and her work is great she is not only fast but very much a perfectionist when it comes to your hair. I get compliments all the time and people want to know who does my hair. Try her I promise you won’t regret it!!!

I ordered products and had questions because my sister locs were damaged from hair dye. I called and asked questions and received excellent advice on what products would work best for me. They were shipped to me becuz I live in Atlanta and I got them quickly they were packaged well nothing was broken. I will order again.

Simone installed my locks 10 months ago and I fell in love with my hair from day one. She is professional and fast. What ever your length, you won’t find yourself going through the awkward stage that so many people told me I would experience. I drive 3 hours every six weeks for my retights. It’s well worth the drive.

I think Beauty Coliseum is awesome. My hair growth has been amazing within only my first year as a client. Since getting SisterLocks, my hair always looks great and the upkeep has been very simple. The Salon owner, Simone, is also courteous and professional. I highly recommend this Salon.

The owner Simone is wonderful . I have purchased hair products from her for the past 8 years . She will walk you through suggested usage specific to your hair. I love that her business is Black Owned and Operated. I also was happy to see her developing her own products such as the Fairy Black Mother Hair Cap.

Simone is my sister lock consultant and owner of Beauty Coliseum. She’s dedicated to her clients by ensuring you get the best service possible. She’s excellent with contacting clients for your appointment as a reminder. The shop is quaint and relaxing if you desire a pleasing environment. I love the hair caps. However would like smaller sizes instead of one size fits all. I also get all my sister locks hair products from her. Four star out of five due to hair caps, need optional choices with sizing.

The Beauty Coliseum is wonderful. I got my sister locks installed over a year ago and I love my sister locks. Getting my sister locks installed at the Coliseum was one of the best decisions Ive made for my hair. The staff members are professional and very friendly.

Happy I found Beauty Coliseum!Professional service, very knowledgeable about natural hair and specifically Sisterlocks, they offer a wide variety of products for natural hair. Love having my appointment to myself and not having to share with 2 or 3 other people. I always look forward to my appointment. If you are looking for a professional environment and not sharing your appointment with 2 or 3 people, Beauty Coliseum is for you.

I decided in 2017 that I was ready to go natural with my hair. I remembered a little while before that decision my daughter mentioning sister locks so I figured that was the way to go. I did some research on how to pick a reputable sister lock consultant and eventually came across Beauty Coliseum. I met with Simone for my trial and we then set up my appointment. I was nervous and excited! Both Simone and Kady did the initial install and I’ve been with Kady for the last two years for my touch-ups. Every appointment I’m still excited to go and get my hair done! Very clean, comfortable and friendly environment!! I highly recommend Beauty Coliseum! They followed the rules as to how a licensed sister-lock shop should be and I’ve been very satisfied!!

If youre looking for the finest products and world class service for skincare and hair care, Beauty Coliseum is a true gem in Philadelphia servicing the African American / Caribbean community.Organic products are featured and often one of a kind that Ive never seen anywhere. In addition to carrying quality products, the owner gives expert advice and she is an unlimited source of knowledge relating to all skincare and hair care needs.What I really enjoy about going to Beauty Coliseum is a personalize service that you dont often find in many salons. My advice is to go nowhere else and treat yourself like a Nubian princess.

I absolutely love my sisterlocks. I went here to get my installations 4 months ago. This was he best decision I’ve ever made for my hair. My experience was great. Before my installation I had a consultation and they made sure that I was aware of the commitment of sisterlocks and explained much of the journey I would experience. They did a few tester locks so that I would see the size and width. Everyone was very kind to me, and every time I come back they are warm and my experience is great. The shop is clean and every time I come for a retightening I am never disappointed. My journey is coming along great, and they are so helpful with all of my questions and they are very professional. I highly recommend this place because they know what they are doing.

Beauty Coliseum is the place to go of you are looking for a lock technician. Simone explained and answer all of my questions during my consultation. I scheduled and installation date and had to change multiple times because of my hectic work schedule. Simone was very accommodating and understanding. Fast forward to the day of instillation. Kady and Simone turned a two day project in to one . Simone and Kady worked very fast and hard and the end result is flawless. I am in the beginning stages of my sisterlocks and not even a week out and I have gotten so many compliments. Thanks Ladies and I look forward to continuing my journey with you.Best,Pam

My sisterlocks were established by Kady in September of 2018 at the Beauty Colliseum in Philly of which she did any excellent job. Kady & Simone also maintain (retightening) my sisterlocks and I am very happy with their services. This was the best investment I’ve made and I’m loving my sisterlocks. I highly recommend Beauty Colliseum for those of you who are thinking about getting sisterlocks! Thanks Simone & Kady you guys are great!

Review №55

I started my sister locks with Simone three years ago (May 2014) and have gone to her almost exclusively. Simone is extremely professional, flexible, agreeable and warm. I am definitely in love with my sister-locks, but my hair is a small part of my thought-life. Simone shares that belief. Maintaining my hair is not laden with rituals, products, techniques and practices-- she does not push a particular sister-locks ideology. And even though she sells a wide range of products online and in her store, she does not pressure you to buy anything! Simone truly does provide fast, neat, pressure-free service that I have been benefiting from since my install! Having been to 2 other loctitians (once visit each) in the US and a few others while living abroad, I can honestly say that Simone is the fastest (not to be under-rated) and most professional stylist I have worked with.

I have been a client since my sisterlocks install back in 2008. Simone has maintained, colored, and cut my hair through the years and I have always left happy. My retightening sessions go quickly, (even when I had nearly waist length locks). Ive also brought hair care products, loc rollers, & sleeping caps which have helped to keep my hair shiny and healthy. My mom comes here also and gets her hair done by Katy. Shes never had any complaints and her hair always looks fabulous. I always receive compliments about my hair and I have referred countless people here.

I have a the pleasure of having Simone, owner of Beauty Coliseum be my Sisterlock Consultant and locktician for nearly 7 years. From the initial consultation, I knew I could trust her expertise and professionalism. Hence, why she has remained my only Consultant. At Beauty Coliseum, I have received advice on how to maintain my sisterlocks as they mature; and also the ability to purchase products developed by Simone such as the lock rollers and various hair caps. The lock rollers create gorgeous curls that lasts for days. I love the hair caps that are both stylish and practical for when youre in the go and still need to look chic. Thank you Beauty Coliseum for all my hair care needs.

Review №82

The retightening process with my now former consultant, Simone Wright has led to major hair loss. When I stressed concern about “missing locks” she told me not to worry. She had to have discarded more than 10 locks during retightening. Why didn’t she hand them over to me? I guess I’ll never know. During my last visit, I questioned her again (about losing locs during my last visit) and she told me that they never came out. She said the thinning was due to lack of minerals. I take vitamins every day. I also pointed out a weak lock that was on its last leg. After she finished my hair I asked her for it (the loc) and she said she never touched it😒. I currently have a huge bald spot above my ear...but no locs to reattach when it grows in. I’m more than angry. Needless to say, I will not be returning.I will not post our last communication...it isn’t necessary. Moving on.

Simone has been retighten my sista locs for more than six years. In the beginning I would alternate between Simone my original loctician but gradually gravitated to Simone because of her warm personality and professionalism. Shes never over booked. You can always expect to be her only customer therefore you get her undivided attention. If youre looking for a great place for professionalism, a warm and inviting environment and privacy to get your sista locs retighten then Beauty Collisium is where you want to go.

Review №94

The Beauty Coliseum has been my go-to spot for a number of years. My Saturdays are pretty busy so I try to get essential things done in one central location. Pros: 1.) The shop is conveniently located downtown, right by Whole Foods. 2.) Simone, the owner, is pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling. (She opened her shop at 6am to do my hair before my best friends wedding. Who does that?! Kudos to the customer service here!) 3.) They sell products for all hair types. Ive bought products for my hair when it was permed/texlaxed, in transition [#THESTRUGGLE], completely natural and now, starting my locs. 4.) When I was a student, money was tight. I moved out of town but I was still able to buy my products off their website and have them shipped to my dorm. When I was home on breaks, their back to school specials on services were more than reasonable. 5.) Folks always ask me where do I get my hair done. Its really a reflection of my stylist. Overall, the focus at the Beauty Coliseum has been healthy hair. [#WINNING] Cons: 1.) You need to make an appointment. Simone has done my hair w/o one but only when she had time between clients. She really respects the one-on-one sessions with her clients so, I make it my business to make an appointment now. I recommended calling the shop before you swing by. 2.) Parking - If you come early, its not a problem. Its a hit or miss later in the day but hey, its South Street! Final Thoughts: Whether youre just starting out and you dont know what to do with your hair or youve reached guru status, the Beauty Coliseum is the place to go. You can talk about hair, buy products for your specific needs (i.e., breakage, damage, maintenance, etc.) and/or get dolled up in the chair. To the men reading this, dont be intimidated, Ive seen a number of male clientele here too and their locs are ALWAYS on point. BTW, the sleeping caps are a must-have! Simone has kept my hair healthy during all of the phases of my hair journey. And, let me tell you, its been a long one...

Review №95

I have had Sisterlocs for over 10 years. After having surgery and being restricted from driving for several weeks, my locs grew like weeds. I called the person who installed my locs, and she was unavailable. I found Simone on the Sisterlocs website. When I first met Simone I knew she would be the one I would continue to go to to care for my hair. She was friendly from the very start. She inspected my locs and gently dyed, washed, tightened and cut them all in one visit! She took her time, helped me decide on a color and a new length. She was awesome. Ive been going to her for several years now and would not even think of letting anyone else touch my hair. Thanks Simone for being you!
