| - As I began my post-college life (this was before Yelp, mind you) and embarked into the real world, I realized it was high time to stop getting my locks trimmed at SuperCuts and upgrade to a real salon. My first trip to Dean of Shadyside was in the spring of 2005 and I've never looked back.
Many of what my fellow Yelpers have noted is true; expect to spend time here for your services. If you want to get in and out, this isn't the place. My feeling is my hair is pretty important, and I don't mind spending time on it. Looking this good is worth the wait ;)
Richard is my main man. I'm more conservative with my cuts, but love to play with color. My hair always looks healthy and natural, much to my surprise, whether it is red, blonde, or something in between. Richard always does a great job when styling my hair for special events.
I've tried many of their other services. My recommendation is to skip mani/pedis here (pricey and they don't do funky designs like I enjoy). The waxing services are great. Natasha is no-nonsense, efficient, and quick, all traits I'm looking for in a waxer (esp for more "sensitive" waxes, a-hem).
Off-street parking for a $2 charge and remember to bring cash to tip. Dean offers pre-booking benefits up to 20% off; always pre-book! Even if you aren't sure of your schedule, they allow you to reschedule once and still utilize the benefits.
I always leave Dean feeling fab, and get nothing but compliments on my hair. Give Richard some freedom, and he won't lead you astray.
