The Salon: Twelve27 Salon is absolutely stunning. For once I don't feel like I'm in an outdated barber shop overfilled with tacky product posters. This salon is at an easy-to-get-to spot in downtown Pittsburgh. The girls explain very well how to enter the building, as it is a little tricky to find. Once in the salon, I feel absolutely at ease. It's a beautiful space filled with just the right amount of products on classy shelves. I love the neutral walls with a fun pop of coral. There are plants everywhere which add to a truly relaxing environment. There is a beautiful styling section that has lovely bright big windows overlooking Penn Ave. I've never experienced a salon that makes me feel as relaxed and I cannot imagine going anywhere else.
The Stylist: Makayla is extremely talented and professional and has been doing my hair since before she started at Twelve27. How lucky I am to have someone in my corner with a specialty of balayage. She takes her time and creates beautiful looks that are refreshingly natural. Anytime I go to her, she helps take my vague ideas and guides me toward what looks work best for my hair. I've been beyond impressed each time we've worked together! Anytime I go to Makayla, I know my hair will look amazing. Before showing too much favoritism, all of these women are beyond talented and professional!
The Hair: Makayla has given me many different looks: from light balayage to full foil and a full 10 inch cut! Each time I go to her I love my hair more and more. She always has great suggestions and adds in things I don't even know will make my hair look great such as the money piece or a root smudge. Every time I leave Twelve27, I can't stop staring at myself and just look forward to going back! The salon also uses Aveda products which smell incredible and leaves my hair strong, healthy, and refreshed!
Thanks Twelve27 Salon for taking Pittsburgh by storm!!
