Andre Richard Salon

The Best Hair Stylists in Philadelphia

Leading the way in scalp health is André Richard Baldini, owner of André Richard Salon (1218 Locust St., 215-735-1590). Here you can learn far more about (and see more of) your scalp than you ever thought possible, thanks to the Phyto scalp analysis. André Richard is the only salon in the area to offer the service.

Using a capilliscope that’s hooked up to a laptop, Baldini runs the penlike device through your hair and watches the screen, where your follicles are magnified 200 times. The goal is to diagnose the condition of your scalp, the density of your hair, and the volume of your strands. Once you get past any squeamishness about seeing what your scalp looks like up close, it’s fascinating what you can learn. Turns out a shiny scalp doesn’t mean you have shiny hair; it means you’ve been overdoing it with silicone-based products. Too much shampoo and conditioner can make your tresses lackluster. “Your scalp needs to be balanced,” says Baldini. “Then you’ll have your optimal hair.”

But before Baldini begins any treatment, he’s on the lookout for anything that doesn’t appear normal. Over the years, he has alerted numerous clients to suspicious bumps, moles, or other anomalies, sending them straight to a dermatologist. “Part of your training in beauty school,” he says, “is to spot certain skin conditions—and learn what to do or not to do when you see them.” Baldini stresses, however, that a stylist can’t diagnose skin cancer or any type of skin condition. Professor George Cotsarelis, MD, chair of the dermatology department at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, wholeheartedly agrees. “I’ve seen dozens of patients who were referred by hairstylists,” he says. “They’re used to seeing so many scalps that they know what’s normal and what looks different or suspicious.”
