| - Because I am the cheapskatiest of cheapskates, I love Groupon, but I have always been wary of buying Groupons for things like haircuts - they're so personal, and when they go wrong, they can go SO VERY WRONG.
But, feeling particularly poor and without having established a favorite hair person here in Pittsburgh, I took a chance and bought a Groupon for Sergios. I even made an appointment with someone totally unknown - no yelp reviews, no word of mouth approval, no bio on the website, no nothing! That's right y'all I can be spontaneous. Good thing I only had highlights & a trim planned...and lucky me, it was fantastic.
You can tell that the space has fairly recently transitioned from down-home barbershop to classy salon (due to a change of ownership from father to son, apparently). All of the staff seemed uniformly very young and very hip, but still friendly and accommodating. The music was all 90s and 2000s pop and alternative throwbacks that were such a delight. And my mystery hairstylist was awesome - Dave not only gave me a really great cut and the most thorough highlighting of my life, but he also charmed my pants off - just a genuine, friendly, interesting fellow.
I highly recommend this little gem - and if you've never been to Dormont, here's your chance! (I hear there's karaoke at the Apple on Tuesdays...)
