Beyond exceptional services, you’ll want to visit us because…

at Transfiguration Studio we believe in smashing industry norms for our workers. This means that you’ll see all of our employees utilize stools to combat physical fatigue, we employ minimal support staff to ensure everyone makes livable wages, and lunch breaks are mandatory. Appointments with us are a bit longer than what you might be used to elsewhere to decrease social burnout (and so you never feel rushed either!) which is all too common in this line of work.

We encourage continual open conversation amongst the staff and have a yearly shop financial break-down meeting of our income and expenses. In a current climate of valuing where & how you spend, we strive to provide transparency around our labor practices so you know exactly the type of business that your money is funding. Of course, the top-notch results are key, but we believe that this is the true core of why our client’s keep coming back to support us!

  • General Accessibility

    The first floor at Transfiguration, where all Hair & Nail services are carried out, is completely ADA compliant — including the gender-neutral bathroom.

    Skincare and Waxing services are carried out in a private room down two small and wide flights of stairs with a landing in between, a total of 17 steps.

    Transfiguration is not scent free but we strive to keep it synthetic scent free.

    Ear plugs are available at our front desk to help keep over-stimulation at bay.

    Masking is required for all guests and staff, in order to provide some safety for our immunocompromised guests.

    Head Coverings

    While we do not have a private room available for hair services, we do have a tall, opaque, folding room divider which we are happy to use to section a portion of our studio space for your privacy. Some people choose to forgo the wash portion since the sinks are visible from our restroom.

    All of our skincare and waxing services take place in a private room.

  • General Cancellation & Late Arrival Policy

    We ask that you cancel or reschedule your service more than 48 hours prior to your appointment. In the event that you do not make it to your appointment, arrive more than 10 minutes late, or cancel/request to reschedule past the 48-hour time frame, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee. Our cancellation fee is 50% of the cost of the scheduled services.

    Our cancellation policy is in place to ensure a living wage for our staff and we appreciate that it is respected!

    Covid & Illness Related Cancellations

    For cancellations related to general illness, Covid exposure, health care, or sickness our cancellation fee is waived in hopes to encourage good community care. We would not want financial incentives to deter Covid mitigation. Our community's health is an absolute priority!

    We thank you for your understanding as we are doing our best to not only ensure safety for all that walk through our doors but for our staff as well.

  • Accessible via SEPTA Trolley route T2 (formerly the 34) and SEPTA Bus route 64.

    Baltimore Ave and many surrounding streets have free street parking without time constraints. The area is typically busy on Saturday’s making parking more sparse. Always check for any signs indicating timed or metered parking and give yourself plenty of time to account for travel or parking delays as arrivals more than 10 minutes late fall under our Cancellation Policy.

    There are bike racks in front of our neighbor, Mariposa Food Co-Op, and several other places to lock up a bike on our block.
