Room 209

Room 209 is a hair salon at 209 N 11th St, Philadelphia, PA 19107, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Customer reviews describe a trendy-looking shop in Chinatown and highlight a range of hair services, including haircuts, perms, wash-and-blow-dry styling, and color. For people comparing Philadelphia salons, the reviews offer useful specifics about both the stylists’ approach and the results customers have experienced. Room 209 has a 4.1-star rating from 59 reviews, giving prospective visitors a broader picture than a single appointment can provide.

Several customers praise Sam for listening carefully and translating their preferences into a hairstyle. One longtime client says they have returned for nearly five years and appreciated Sam’s skill with both haircuts and perms; their recent perm matched what they wanted. Another reviewer says Sam asked about desired length and bangs before creating a new style, even without a reference photo. These experiences may appeal to people who want to discuss a look in conversation rather than arrive with an exact example. As with any salon service, it is helpful to explain your priorities clearly before work begins.

Reviews also mention wash-and-blow-dry service. One customer describes a thorough wash, a scalp massage, and a carefully finished blowout by Vanessa, saying the polished result lasted a week. Hair coloring appears in the customer feedback as well, but the experience was not uniformly positive: one reviewer reported requesting a pink ombré, receiving a solid purple result instead, and paying more than $400 after a long appointment. That account is one customer’s experience, not a complete measure of the salon, but it is relevant for anyone considering a complex color service. Discuss the desired result, process, timing, and expected cost with the stylist beforehand.

Room 209 is open Monday and Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; it is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Its Chinatown location at 209 N 11th St makes it a Philadelphia option for people seeking a haircut, perm, styling, or other salon service. The customer feedback points to strengths in consultation and styling for some visits, alongside a color result that fell short of one reviewer’s expectations. Checking the current hours and confirming service details before visiting can help you decide whether Room 209 fits the style you have in mind.
