The Hill Welcomes A 'Posh' New Salon

The new addition to the Germantown Avenue business corridor opened last week.

Posh Hair Artistry opened for business Jan. 13, fulfilling the lifelong dream of its owner, Tish Taylor, to open her own salon.

The bright and cheery space is spotlessly clean, boasting three work stations and two hair dryers within the two-roomed salon. 

But while Posh Hair Artistry is a new addition to Chestnut Hill, Taylor is no stranger to the industry. Hailing from Mt. Airy, Taylor has been in the business for close to 15 years, putting in her time at a handful of local salons before making the big leap to small business owner.

With years of service and experience behind her, it seemed that the role of salon owner was the next logical step in Taylor's professional journey. With a bright smile, Taylor tells us that the vacant space at 8010 Germantown Avenue couldn't have been a more perfect fit.

Everything from the wall color to the lighting was right up Taylor's alley, she said. She had to do little to customize the space to her taste preferences, (not that she needed to add more to her plate as Posh's only employee).

This past weekend was the salon's opening gala, and Taylor found herself juggling the roles of salon owner and sole stylist. But Taylor doesn't seem to mind the hard work. 

With a laugh, the Empire Beauty School graduate said that 50 of her clients from previous salons have followed her to the new location. Taylor attributes her loyal clientele to the fact that she provides excellent service; her specialty is precision cuts and coloring, with an emphasis on hair care. 

Additionally, Taylor keeps herself educated in current trends by frequenting hair shows and enrolling in classes.

Stay tuned for developments from Posh Hair Artistry, as Taylor tells us that a Web site is only days away from being launched, and that a spring promotion is in the works. 

For now, contact Taylor at 215-753-1150 to make an appointment. The salon's hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
