I've given DeStefino 3 shots with 2 different stylists, but it just didn't blow my skirt up. Ladies at front desk have a snotty attitude. Haircuts are conservative and expensive. Stylists are awkward to talk to. Overall vibe is VERY Shadyside, if you know what I mean -- aging upper middle class ladies aspiring to be cosmopolitan.
I've heard rave reviews of one of their stylists, booked with him, and he called out sick just two hours before -- and it was a day before I had job interviews! I got stuck with some random guy who talked about conspiracy theories. Bleeechhhh.
