I've been going to this salon for 15 years (since I was a little girl) and despite my biased, great history with it, I can objectively say that this is the BEST salon I've ever been to. I don't live in Pittsburgh anymore, and any time I get my hair cut anywhere else, it's too expensive and not nearly good enough.
Some highlights (heh) of Denham & Co:
- Relatively cheap ($25 for an ordinary women's cut)
- Wide range of staff with different personal styles (you'll definitely find someone who gets you)
- Experienced staff (most of the stylists have been there for many years)
- Comfortable, eclectic environment with antiques (doesn't feel too sterile or "perfect")
- Aveda products (herbal goodness)
- Friendly staff who actually listen to you (not snobby or stand-offish like many salons)
I don't have any specific recommendations of staff (although I love John's style and cuts) because they're all great for different reasons. Ask the receptionist, they'll be sure to tell you who would work for you.
(Also, it's in a loft above a wonderful coffee shop! Can't beat that.)
