2025 SALON TODAY 200 HONOREE
Salon Today Magazine
Philip Johnson is so proud and honored to be named a 2025 Top 200 Salon in North America by Salon Today! This is our 8th time being honored by the prestigious publication. The 200 salons were selected from applications submitted by the Salon Today audience, who represent more than 20,000 of the top-producing salons and spas in North America.
This year, we were named a top salon/spa for growth, which is no small feat! For a salon or spa, it requires the mastery of a number of best practices to fuel sales growth, which propels the overall trajectory of the business. This year, the Salon Today 200 grew at a rate of 8.22% and above!
Thank you to our staff for adapting to an ever-changing environment and thank you to our wonderful guests for supporting us and giving us the drive to continue being one of the top salons and spas in the country!
