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.

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!!
