A little bit about us…

Altar Hair is a comfortable quiet space to take a break from the city. A seasoned stylist with nearly 20 years of experience, Brett Ellis Kuri has opened Altar right where his career in the arts started, in Center City Philadelphia. The mission with this space is to offer a welcoming environment of comfort, affirmation, and sophistication where every client feels seen, celebrated, and empowered. From cuts and color correction, to extensions and maintenance, let’s make good art that you can confidently wear. Hair has no binary, wear what you are.
