I just moved to Pittsburgh and Unilocal’d best women’s cut, best hair cut, and best hair salon for a straight week until I finally decided on coming here. I always get a cut to test out the stylist before I ask for color and I’m very happy to say I’ll be going back here! Haley was friendly, offered suggestions, but always made it a point to check with me for final say. She did an amazing job with my lob. She gave it texture, shine, body, evened it out, and kept true to my only request of keeping the length. I can’t wait to see what it’ll look like when i book a color appointment.
Wash, cut, & style (shoulder length hair) $ 40

My boyfriend and I came in to get haircuts with Haley, she did an awesome job! I would definitely recommend her. We are both extremely picky and have had our fair share of bad haircuts. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and didn’t want, couldn’t be happier with the service!

Update: Tamara reached out to me and offered a refund for my services. This matter was handled very professionally, which you don’t always experience! It means a lot when a business owner takes feedback seriously, especially if it’s negative.

Tamara has been cutting my hair since 2011 and her new spot is great. Convenient on street parking, clean bright space, and talented stylists make this the best spot in southside and the surrounding area for both men and women.

Haley did my hair for the first time today! It was several shades of yellowy blonde with dark blonde roots as a result of several failed attempts by other hair stylists to tone me back to my original color after a violet platinum job. She did a beautiful job! It’s a perfect ashy color now and she took great care hand-​painting in darker lowlights. She was a great listener and very quick, the result is as natural as I hoped for. I live 2 ½ hours away in WV but I’m so pleased that I’ll be back in the new year for another appointment with her. On a separate note, the ambiance of the salon is clean and lovely. Many thanks, Marena xxo

Needed a new hairstylist closer to my house, so I turned to Unilocal.B Salon did not disappoint. I had Jessica who was friendly and great! LOVE my new style. I would consider myself to have long, thick hair and my wash and cut was only $ 43. Make sure you tip in cash and tip well because the stylists are great. Can’t wait to go back!

I wanted to update my review to include that I was contacted at the end of October by the salon owner who offered a refund for the services. I applaud owners of businesses that take the time to read reviews of their establishments and who better yet, offer to rectify situations that may have not been the best for their customers. Its not easy being in the service industry and I respect anyone who works in it.
Thank you B Salon for getting the ‘bad taste’ out of my mouth for your place. I sincerely appreciate your effort.

I have tried almost every type of extension. I had a bad experience with someone who did not know how to do the tape ins properly and was hesitant to try them again. I am so happy I decided to trust Tamara to do them. Not only does my hair look healthy it’s absolutely stunning! Tamara is the best! If you want extensions done right and to be gorgeous than look no further this is the place to go! I will never trust anyone other than her to do my extensions ever again! Thank you Tamara for making me feel beautiful again I truly appreciate it!

I had Jessica and she is caring and professional. I had a complete new style but it only cost me $ 43. The environment is nice and quite too.

I chose this salon because of both its close proximity to my home and its rave reviews on here. Booking an appointment over the phone was a simple process and all the women working there were incredibly friendly. Liz helped take my natural auburn hair up a few shades to a very, very pretty red-​blonde color. Although my ends were stubborn and refused to take in the color at first, the final result is a gorgeous coppery tone and I’ve gotten multiple compliments on it. She was even able to blow-​dry my hair straight, and with my hair being a little wavy naturally I was really pleased with that as well! One thing to keep in mind: they do not allow you to tip on the card, so bring cash for that. I will definitely be back, hopefully soon!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeni with b salon + bar. It was well worth the trip to South Side. The Salon vibe was great everyone was friendly. Jeni listened to me and gave me her expert opinion and we decided on bayalage highlights instead of foils. Best decision ever my color is amazing!!! And she gave me a super cut to fix the «mess» I came in with!!! And Jeni has a down to earth personality. I felt like I’ve known her forever. I will be returning to see Jeni at salon b+bar!

I got a cut yesterday from Liz and I have to say it’s a great cut. I’m picky about my hair because it’s curly and there’s a ton of it so I was nervous trying a new salon. When I called, I was quoted a price of $ 65 because of my hair texture and length. Like another reviewer I was a little put off but I know the work that sometimes has to go into my hair. A blow out has left stylists sweating in the past. However, once I went to pay, my cut was only $ 50. I came for a simple cut, changing my part and evening out layers (that I had cut myself…) and the results were a completely different look. If I had more extensive services I’m sure they’d have turned out just as good. I would like a little more space in a salon, with only 3 chairs for stylists and limited waiting area space but meh. Good regardless. I will be coming back in the future for my next cut. :)

I will only go to B Salon Bar for a men’s haircut in Pittsburgh. The stylists and particularly the salon owner are very accommodating and are precisely on point with their communication about what their clients are looking for.
They are absolutely focused on customer satisfaction and it shows with their excellent attitudes in a fun and relaxed environment. I absolutely suggest stopping in for your next haircut. Don’t be afraid to ask for a complimentary glass of wine!

I want to thank b salon for giving me a refund for my service. It is not everyday that you have a business taking their customer reviews so seriously. I appreciate the acknowledgment and any company that offers such excellent customer service deserves patronage.

I just moved to pittsburgh and decided to cut my hair really short since I’m starting work and will get busy. Iv had long hair since forever and I thought it was time for a good change. I looked up this place on Unilocal and called for an appointment. I was told that Liz was good with curly hair and got booked for a hair consultation. Liz was very friendly and told me what style would suit my face. She booked me for a haircut appointment and I tell you guys she did an AMAZING job! She cut my hair really short just like I wanted it. Throughout my haircut she made sure that I was comfortable with her cutting my hair shorter.
I have been loving my haircut and been getting lovely compliments from family, friends and colleagues! And Liz cut it in a way that I don’t really need to style it since I told her I won’t have the time for it. It’s a complete transformation and a good one for sure! So let me just say that if you guys need a complete makeover or even just a good haircut Liz is the right person to go to! I loved the salon too! Liz and Tamara were both very nice and there’s a special someone at the salon who will just set your mood right! Little moe (Tamara’s dog) is a sweetheart!

Beware if you have thick hair!!!
So I just called to inquire about their services. I asked how much Liz charges and it’s $ 50. She asked about my hair… it’s curly thick hair. They up charged me to $ 60. Their excuse: because it takes longer to blowdry and go through it. I know my hair pretty well and it’s not that thick to charge me an extra $ 10. A quality salon won’t up charge because they have to work harder. No business from this gal.

Great service xoxo

I went there for a cut and color… the cut was good, nothing to get too excited about. However, I could have received the same quality cut from a walk in place and paid less. The color portion was different… completely terrible. I ended up being there from 2PM to 7PM, because Liz had to fix it… salvage it… and I still am terribly unhappy. The girls talk a good game, but there’s no execution that lives up to the hype. Then they acted like they where doing me a favor, price wise, but cutting me a deal because they had to fix it and I wasted my day there. I went there because of all the excellent reviews on Unilocal… I am so disappointed. Please truly think about this place before you go… If you do go, ask for the Brunette, she actually looked like she knew what she was doing. Every girl I saw leaving her chair looked great!

I just had my second appointment with Jeni and I love my hair. I got balayage highlights and a cut. Jeni took the time to listen to what I wanted but also provided her expert opinion as well. I felt like she really listened to me and definitely delivered on our combined vision. The staff is friendly– always willing to grab you water, coffee, or a glass of wine. It’s a smaller salon but that makes the experience feel even more personalized. Prices are higher but normal for a high end salon. I haven’t bought any of their products yet but my hair smells amazing. Thanks Jeni and b salon+bar!

Liz is THE best. Not only does she take serious pride in her work, she’s a walking advertisement for beautiful locks. She takes the time to listen to what I want yet isn’t afraid to steer me in the right direction. I’ve never been loyal to a stylist or salon but after meeting Liz, I couldn’t imagine trusting my hair to anyone else. Especially if you have curly hair, this girl works wonders. Thanks, Liz! You are the best in the ‘burgh.
