| - Okay. I'm revising again, but down this time. I was being over-generous because of Tim. He's still really awesome, but the business itself could use a little work. The other services I've had are only average, and the place could use a lot of work on atmosphere and decor. It's a big, cavernous space - 10-12 chairs all in rows with no separation between them, hair washing basins out in the middle of the floor, tiny changing room with no shelves for sweaters, and the whole place is cold linoleum tile (very cold in the winter.) The entry stairwell is shared (with some kind of medical office, I think), but it's not very inviting, either - shabby carpet and scuffed-up walls.
Tim scores a 5.
The salon itself is probably closer to a 2.
I'll be back every six weeks for as long as I live in Pittsburgh, but I'll grumble about the non-Tim elements after every visit.
Now that I've been there twice, I'm upgrading my rating. (Note that I've only had Tim - THE Timothy - do my hair, so I guess this is really a review of him.) I think stylists tend to have a rough time with my hair; it's really thick and very dry. It either has to be extremely long or extremely short (a la my old army high & tights) to look normal. I don't know what in the hell Tim did, but it behaves better than it ever did before.
