| - I had yet to find a stylist in PGH that I was happy with--nothing like a bad haircut to make you skittish! But having liked my Uptown experience for other services, I decided to give their hair salon a try.
Best. Decision. ever.
I was thinking BIG change, and fully expected a hair stylist I'd never met to shy away from my idea. I'm almost 30, and a professional, so though I wanted something dramatic I also knew it had to be versatile. I didn't have a photo, but I was thinking something really short, edgy but with class. In essence, Rihanna hair. Mind you, I went IN with long, thick, curly hair down to the middle of my back.
Anthony was AMAZING. He consulted with me for almost half an hour, poring over photos online and in magazines to ensure that we were speaking the same language. He had no qualms about cutting my hair super-short (once he had confirmed that that was indeed what I was after!) and did an *incredible* job. I have had nothing but compliments--everyone I know is blown away by how amazing my hair looks. It was a huge leap of faith, and completely well worth it. And, at $50, I'd say it was a steal. I have finally found a hairdresser to call my own!
(other bonuses: no product pushing, super-friendly but not overbearing staff, soothing environment)
