| - If you're looking for a competent (and relatively painless) wax near campus, ask for Paula. She's talkative, quick (!), and she knows what she's doing.
I also got my brows threaded on a different occasion. (There's only one technician, but I've forgotten her name.) On a scale of 1-10, the experience was a 7 -- she seemed fairly new at it -- but I'm not sure there are many options yet in Pittsburgh for threading.
The salon also offers cuts and coloring, which I haven't experienced. The salon is on the third floor and has big windows, and the presence of outside light is refreshing. And once the manager leaves in the mid-afternoon, they turn the music up!
(3/14): I got my hair cut here a couple days ago, and I'm pleased with it. I explained what I wanted her to do, asked for her input, changed my mind, and was generally pretty confusing. She did manage to do what I wanted, though: thin and layer my overly-thick hair without doing away with much length. $40 plus tip ... a bit steep for a maintenance cut in Pittsburgh, but I'm used to much worse.
