I was on the prowl for a new hair dresser after being continuously disappointed at another local salon. I saw that Sergio's had a really great deal on Groupon and was familiar with where it was since I used to pass by it regularly on my way to work. 2 haircuts for $25.. You can't even get a deal like that at the crappy chain salons!
Also, I was really excited to try the salon after reading that Sergio himself had trained under the talented Robert Cromeans!! The best salon experience I had ever had was at his ARCS salon in Las Vegas, so I had high hopes.
I arrived for my haircut probably a half an hour early. Surprisingly even though they were super packed ( I was there at 6:30) they were able to take me right back. My Stylist was Richie and he was extremely personable.
The salon itself is by far one of the best I've seen in Pittsburgh. All of the stylists were busy with clients and the energy of the place was great. Also great music added so much to the atmosphere.
During my consultation Richie listend to EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING I wanted. I think that's the most important part about being a hairstylist is being able to listen. Needless to say my haircut came out amazing. He took a good chunk of time with me, which was great because I hate feeling rushed in and out of a salon. Not too mention that he gave me the most thorough blowout of my life!
Feeling very welcomed, heard, and appreciated at a salon makes the entire experience so much better than "Just getting your hair done".
In the end I am very excited to enjoy my next haircut here in October. I've definitely found my new stylist and salon!!
