Artur Kirsh is opening a signature salon on the fourth floor of Boyds Philadelphia, and the concept is genuinely novel: a full-service hair salon operating inside one of the city’s most storied luxury fashion retailers. Located within Boyds’ flagship at 1818 Chestnut Street, Artur Kirsh Salon is already taking appointments, with a grand opening event set for September 24.

A First-of-Its-Kind Partnership on Chestnut Street

Boyds has spent 88 years as Philadelphia’s premier destination for luxury fashion, dressing generations of clients in the world’s finest designer collections — and this partnership means clients can now complete an entire look under one roof, from couture fashion to award-winning cut, color, and styling. Kirsh and Boyds plan to build on that with exclusive client experiences and VIP events going forward.

Artur Kirsh brings real, specific credentials to the partnership. His client list includes Dorinda Medley, Betsey Johnson, Carolina Herrera, Celine Dion, Kathy Griffin, Nicole Miller, and Ken Downing, and his work has appeared at New York and Milan Fashion Weeks, earning him multiple “Best of Philly” and “Best of Style” honors over the years. The Boyds location follows the earlier 2026 opening of Artur Kirsh Hair Studio in Narberth, marking a genuine growth year for the stylist, now with two locations across the region. Beyond the chair, Kirsh is also the author of Behind the Chair, a collection of reflections drawn from conversations with clients over the course of his career.

Inside the Salon: A Modern Luxury Gallery

The space itself was designed as a genuine extension of the Boyds experience — expansive windows flood the salon with natural light, set against gallery-white walls, striking black accents, and natural sisal rugs. Oversized styling mirrors, minimalist furnishings, curated retail displays, architectural greenery, and thoughtfully layered lighting round things out. “We’ve designed a salon that feels like a modern luxury gallery, calm, refined, and centered on the client,” Kirsh said. “Style doesn’t end with the clothes you wear. It begins with confidence, and confidence comes from feeling your absolute best.”

“Artur’s passion for excellence and client care aligns perfectly with the Boyds brand,” said Andrew Gushner, 4th Generation. “We’re thrilled to welcome Artur to the Boyds family and offer our clients an entirely new luxury service and in-store experience.” Appointments at Artur Kirsh Salon are available now by calling 267-665-4476, or through boydsphila.com.
