The experienceWhy guests choose David
David's anti-specialist approach, focusing on connection over techniques, sets him apart. Clients return for the deep, meaningful engagement as much as for the styling.
Connection is at the heart of every appointment. I aim to make guests feel happy, noted through compliments during styling rather than just at the end. I cherish the support and shared experiences that my clients bring into the salon.
The matchIdeal guest
My ideal guest walks in confident and open to ideas. They're willing to explore multiple options and communicate honestly if something doesn't meet their expectations. Their open-mindedness makes the styling process collaborative and enjoyable.

AboutBehind the chair
Born and raised in Naples, Florida, David's journey wasn't linear. After exploring careers in PR, fitness, and entertainment, a return to Naples opened up the path to hair. Inspired by his stylist aunt who started at Robert of Philadelphia, David found his calling.
Off the clockOutside the salon
Outside the salon, David enjoys privacy, gym sessions, and time with loved ones to recharge.
The consultationWhat to expect
When a new guest sits in my chair, I focus on their lifestyle, origins, and inspiration behind their hair goals. It's important to understand the person beyond what's visible to avoid over-promising and to ensure the style fits their life.
Healthy hair starts with honesty and a comprehensive understanding of a client's lifestyle, medications, and at-home routines. It's not just about the hair's look but its feel and reaction to daily life.
First-time guestsGuests should bring inspiration photos and any previous color formula for a smooth session. Openness to ideas and a willingness to share past experiences helps tailor a personalized salon experience.

I'm a teacher, and was totally pampered by David and his assistants. I went in for a blow out, but the additional treatments were luxurious. My hair looked amazing after for days. I know I'll be back for the same treatment for a special occasion. Thank you! Everyone was so nice and friendly!
I’ve been getting my hair cut by David and I couldn’t recommend him more. He’s incredibly skilled, pays attention to every detail, and always makes sure I leave looking and feeling my best. He takes the time to understand exactly what you’re looking for and consistently delivers an amazing cut.<br><br>The entire salon is welcoming and professional, making every visit a great experience. If you’re looking for a stylist who truly cares about his craft and his clients, ask for David. You won’t be disappointed!
David is the best! He has done a phenomenal job in the past on my cut and color. He was extremely fun to chat with and very knowledgeable about my thickly wavy hair. I love the leave in conditioner he recommended. Everytime I return to Naples he has to work on my hair.
Thank you David for always giving me an awesome haircut! You are so talented and you have such a sincere Heart. Always a pleasure to see you!!!:)

David was exceptional! I love my Hair ❤️❤️
I can not say enough about this Salon and my experience. The place is super clean, stylish and relaxing with a great atmosphere and friendly stuff. David has been taking care of my hair for over a year now and every time he makes me feel special with a new idea that fits my requests. I appreciate David attention to details and genuine passion for his work. If you are looking for a new salon or a stiller who will elevate your look, I highly recommend with David Simmons at Robert of Philadelphia Salon.
I get super anxious with new people doing my hair and David did me right🤩. One of the best colors I’ve had in a long time and he made it blend so perfectly. Still dreaming of this color and walking out from the salon like this- if my hair days looked like this every day my ego would be inflated
10/10 recommend David Simmons, residential hair god and all around nice, polite, kind guy. He has been doing my hair (and several folks in my fam) for years now and WE LOVE HIM. Very skilled with color, difficult hair (thin in my case, thick and coarse in my wife's case), and he's gotten us in for very last-minute treatments due to this house's ever-evolving work/travel schedule. I cannot recommend DAVID enough. What a talent, and such a relaxing, uplifting atmosphere. THANK YOU D!! Mary and Sara Carillo
Great service and very friendly staff! I had a consult, wash, cut and style with David. he had great advice, recommended only products he had use and he that would be best for my hair whether they sold it or not. Great experience!!
I had a wash, haircut and blow dry by David and he gave me the best salon experience!!! If you are in need of a haircut, I definitely recommend David 100%!
I am so impressed with the customer service here! I had a bad experience at another salon and this salon went above and beyond to fix my problem! Thank you Lexy! Thank you Charly! Thank you David! I would give you all 10 stars! And thank you to David's co- assistant! I'm still amazed! You made my day!
Everyone at ROP is amazing. David is so wonderful. He did my hair twice and both times it's been flawless. He recently trimmed (tamed) my oldest sons hair. He has curls like Shirley Temple, that's why I say tamed!! The salon is always super clean and organized. Always greeted with a smile and a pleasant attitude. I am extremely pleased with the service and attention that the staff and owners of ROP give to their clients. Also knowing that they give back to the community speaks volumes!!! They've won my business! :-)
David is a wonderful stylist and has been taking care of my hair for sometime. I so look forward to being in his chair knowing that when I leave my hair looks great and I’m happy because we have great conversation. David is my favorite!❤️
David, Andy, and the rest of the staff were absolutely incredible! I couldn't be happier with the final product, and I'm so glad that I have found my new go-to person for all things hair!
Managed to get an appointment very quickly with my usual hairdresser. Very little waiting g time when I arrived. Salon is efficient and clean and organized. Will definitely return
David is my stylist and I just love him to pieces. He always does a great job and I come out looking and feeling wonderful. I am so lucky that I have him as my stylist.
He redid some highlights which I really appreciated and made my hair look so much better! He's always friendly and listens to my concerns. I appreciate his feedback.
As always, David never disappoints !! My hair looks wonderful - he takes so much time and precision with my hair. And the most amazing personality he has to go !!
Best hair stylist ever!!! I absolutely tell everyone about him, especially those with long hair! I actually think I have a new name for him...The Hair Wisperer!
