There are two places in Pittsburgh for Asian people to get a haircut. This is the better one.
I came at 5pm on a Thursday, place was empty so I didn't have to wait.
The lady owner/stylist was very receptive and attentive to the hair style I wanted. Sure, I wanted a standard Asian fade but she carefully loomed at the photos I had on my phone.
Here is a huge bonus though! She has a computer with tons of real photos of haircuts so you can scroll through and choose the one you want. And the pic will sit there in front of you while she cuts so you both know what the goal is.
She did a great job with texturizing and giving my basic haircut a little spiffiness to keep it looking fresh. I appreciated that. Some places don't do that. I even wanted a little alteration from her style and she did it without hesitation. Great attitude! She also blended the side burns well and did good edging around the nape. Good work.
After the haircut she did some little 30 second head and neck massage which wasn't bad, but really wasn't anything to speak of either. No complaints.
Base Price for this men's straight forward haircut was $28.
I give 4 stars because like all things Pittsburgh, it was pretty good, but not impressive (other than the photo album of haircuts). But given the cost of things in Pittsburgh, $28 for essentially a crew cut with no shampoo or massage is pretty steep. I get it. It's Pittsburgh, there's no competition. So I can't really complain. So that's why it's 4 stars not 5. Great haircut, nice experience. This will be my new hair home for 4 years.
