id=\"About_the_salon\"><\/span>About the salon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Richard Nicholas Hair Studio has been cutting hair near Rittenhouse Square since 1971, which makes it one of the longest-running salons in Philadelphia. It was co-founded by Nicholas Berardi Sr., and the studio still describes its stylists as independent craftsmen, a phrase that explains the model: each chair carries its own book, its own technique and its own following, rather than a house formula applied to everyone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Services\"><\/span>Services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The menu is deliberately compact. Cutting covers razor work and dry cutting alongside conventional scissor technique. Color runs from single-process and dimensional work through creative color to corrective jobs, with foiling, balayage and double-process blonding as the everyday tools. Keratin smoothing handles texture, and blow-dry and editorial finishing round out the styling side.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technology_and_brands\"><\/span>Technology and brands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Half a century of practice shows in the technique rather than the equipment list: razor cutting for softness and movement, dry cutting to see the shape as it will actually sit, and double-process blonding done in stages instead of one aggressive lift. Retail is stocked at reception, including the studio&#8217;s affiliated Nic Grooming line for men.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Team_and_stylists\"><\/span>Team and stylists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nicholas Berardi Sr. co-founded the studio, and the craftsman model has held ever since: stylists build long-term client relationships and specialize rather than rotate. Because complex work is booked to a specific pair of hands, the studio asks for a deposit on appointments running two hours or longer and expects notice if plans change.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A compact, unfussy studio a short walk from the square, open every day of the week. There is no spa theater here and no attempt at one: good chairs, good light, clean mirrors and a room where the conversation is about the hair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_its_for\"><\/span>Who it&#8217;s for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Guests who want a stylist for the next decade rather than the next appointment, people with a razor-cut or heavily layered shape that a chain salon will not attempt, blondes who need staged lightening handled carefully.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questions_and_answers\"><\/span>Questions and answers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Can I book online?<\/strong> Yes, the studio takes online bookings and also confirms appointments by phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long should I plan for?<\/strong> About an hour for a cut and blow-dry; dimensional or corrective color and keratin can run considerably longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you cut men?<\/strong> Yes, men&#8217;s cutting is a core service and the studio carries its own grooming line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I combine color and a cut?<\/strong> Yes, and it is standard. Longer bookings may require a deposit, so confirm when you reserve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is a gift certificate available?<\/strong> Yes, ask at reception when booking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>10:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20096:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20096:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20097:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20097:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20096:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>9:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20094:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>10:00\u202fAM\u2009\u2013\u20095:00\u202fPM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.philadelphianka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2026\/07\/richard-nicholas-hair-studio-philadelphia-1.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Nicholas Hair Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.philadelphianka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2026\/07\/richard-nicholas-hair-studio-philadelphia-2.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Nicholas Hair Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.philadelphianka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2026\/07\/richard-nicholas-hair-studio-philadelphia-3.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Nicholas Hair Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.philadelphianka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2026\/07\/richard-nicholas-hair-studio-philadelphia-4.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Nicholas Hair Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.philadelphianka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/66\/2026\/07\/richard-nicholas-hair-studio-philadelphia-5.jpg\" alt=\"Richard Nicholas Hair Studio\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Louise Pietrzyk<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n22 May 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Fantastic time at the hairdressers!!
