Great hair stylist, Johhny Valentine ~ 12/21/2008

I've been a long time customer of John's, he is a great stylist and a perfectionist. Don't expect him to let you leave unless you look absolutely perfect! more

I agree, Daniel IS the BEST! 11/28/2008

I have had my color and cut done by Daniel Iannelli a few times now. I must tell you that every great review about him is true. He somehow has added life to my color, and my complexion looks healthier and younger. He gave me a haircut that fits my lifestyle and always looks great. I've been to his website and blog and found it informative. I love that he is always easy to reach. He really IS the BEST! more

Ed is the best masssage therapist in the world! 11/8/2008

This was my first experience at Toppers (Rittenhouse) and I will never have a massage by anyone else! I had the pleasure of having the 2 hour luxury massage and it was worth every penny! I was running late of my appointment and Ed made me feel calm and welcome, not rushed! I had my service on the 4th floor under natural lighting...this only added to the pleasure of my experience. His hands are like vibrating massagers, and his touch is consistently firm but not deep...perfection! I work in the spa industry and I would highly suggest Ed to anyone who is looking to relax. I can not wait to have more services at Toppers, I can only dream of anything being better! Pros: comfortable, warm, relaxing more

Best Hair Stylist ever - Daniel Iannelli 10/6/2008

I'm writing to share that I feel that Daniel Iannelli, of Toppers Hair Salon, is the Best Hair Stylist - ever. I have been a client of Daniel for 25 years, and have never had a bad experience with him. Being a professional, my time is limited, and Daniel has never kept me waiting, and has been very respectful of my time, and, I have noticed, the time of other clients. He is resourceful and innovative, and somehow keeps his appointments on track. He has been invaluable through the years in suggesting and implementing refinements and improvements to my hair care. He keeps up-to-date on the latest professional techniques, and communicates them to his clients. Always professional, pleasant, and kind, he keeps his clients' best interests in mind, and shows his pride in his involvement with Toppers' Hair Salon. I would recommend him to anyone, knowing that your total hair care will be in good hands. Pros: Hair Stylist Daniel Iannelli is the best more

Wow, I was appauled! 9/16/2008

Am I the only one that could see straight through Daniel Innelli? After getting my hair highlighted, colored, cut by very reputable stylists all of my life, I decided that I just had try Toppers salon. I had previously gone there for a hot rock massage which was out of this world. I totally would reccomend their spa, its fabulous and if you look on their website, you can sometimes find coupons if its your first time for around 20% off. Anyway, getting back to Daniel. The guy who aparently had worked for famous Pileggi salon in philadelphia said the reason he switched was because Toppers wanted him to create a whole new atmosphere in their salon and bring it up a couple notches to a really upscale salon. Obviously, they didn't take the time to meet Daniel prior to hiring him. He is arrogant, knows nothing and doesnt do what you want. I went in there knowing exactly what I wanted, and $300 plus dollars later, was left with hair that looked the same as when I went in. He tried to pursuade me to try all these ""new"" products, which I have used for years now. Also, tried to convince me to purchase a toner ($50 bucks by the way) even when I told him I have had many toners before and they leave my hair less than desireable. I have naturally dirty blonde hair and wanted something other then highlights that never reach the root. He gave me the highlights that I did not want along with a toner that left my hair darker then what I had going into it. Plus, his assistant is the one doing all of the work. If Daniel spent more then 10 minutes combined on my color and cut during the 3 hours I was there, I'd be suprised. All in all, he is a complete moron and a ripoff. He needs to learn that brainwashing his clients isnt the way to go. The spa is fabulous tho, any of the treatments are well worth it! more

re: Miracle worker Daniel Ianelli 9/9/2008

I am a mother of three under the age of 6 and have been neglecting my hair for years. On a whim I called Toppers and made a hair appointment, not knowing any of the stylists and not having any idea what I wanted to do with my hair. It was my very good fortune to have been introduced to Daniel Ianelli that day. Within minutes Daniel examined the shape of my face, my eyes, the natural lay of my hair and suggested what he felt would work best for me. His thoughtful critique could only have come from the years of experience and the instintual knowledge that only one who has mastered his subject can attain . Equal parts scientist and creative genius, Daniel continues to transform my hair and my entire look each time I see him. There is no one else I would trust with the health of my hair. (All this and great recipe ideas as well!) Pros: Daniel Ianelli Cons: N/A more

Best Stylist - Daniel Iannelli 8/22/2008

Daniel Ianelli is the reason to go to this salon. I have been using him as my stylist for many years. He is exceptionally talented and focused on the individual client's style, preferences and the practical aspects of maintaining a sharp look after you leave the salon. Other stylists that I had used before switching to Daniel would give me cuts that were not well suited for me or styles that would look good when I left the salon, but were impossible to maintain. Daniel offers suggestions, and gives you clear direction on what he believes will (or will not) work for you. But he never tries to press his own agenda at the expense of what the client wants. I started out as someone who was extremely conservative in terms of what I would try with hairstyle and color because I had run into problems with prior stylists who seemed to view these matters as one size fits all. But, I have come to welcome Daniel's thoughts and suggestions because he has demonstrated time and time again his understanding of what works for me. He is efficient. accomodating and always on time. And he also is exceptionally nice and engaging. It is very unusual to find this combination of professionalism and talent. He is a true find. Pros: Daniel Iannelli - hair cuts, color, highlights more
