There's a reason this salon has been voted #1 three years running with Pittsburgh City Paper. It's because each and every person working there sincerely cares about their clients needs, wants and making them look great. Professionals at the top of their games in a salon that would rival some of the best in bigger cities like NYC or Chicago. Though my friend Sarah works at Salon Ivy, I'd never seen her professionally. That's all changed because I can never go to anyone but her again. She's known in the city for her master color skills and extraordinary cuts as well as her perfectionist nature. You will not leave her station without looking and feeling like a million bucks. Many of our mutual friends are clients and they always look amazing. I've also met many strangers with beautiful hair and when I compliment them I'm told they go to Salon Ivy; either to Sarah or one of her esteemed colleagues.
I went to Sarah with extremely damaged hair. I'm a natural blonde who has always gone from one extreme to the other (platinum to red or black or the other way around, pinks, purples, etc). However for several years I'd only gotten highlights. Until I decided to go platinum again for two years and then back to red. The bleach ruined my hair causing so much breakage. Doing this only caused more breakage and my hair lost the ability to hold the red because of the bleach. So essentially my roots were sort of red with kind of pink/blonde ends. I was a mess in every sense of the meaning. I've got natural curl (wave) that was all but gone. Thanks to Sarah it's back and I once again have the ability to wear my hair curly or blown out. She corrected my color to give me the red I wanted and she also gave me an amazing precision cut; inverted bob. I'm back to the old me and couldn't be happier. I absolutely wish everyone would give this salon their business and especially Sarah. If you're worried about prices at this high end salon you need not be. Pricing is comparable to any average salon around. Seriously do yourselves a favor and book with Sarah. Check out my before and after pics too!
