Salon Bernabo

I love everything about this salon and really they have a forever client in me – unless I move out-​of-​state then I can’t see getting my hair done elsewhere. I’ve been a client for a little over a year and don’t trust my hair to anyone else. This came after years of searching for someone I trusted with my hair.
I found Salon Bernabo because they use the Davine’s line of hair color and shampoo. For anyone that’s interested (obsessed?) with hair color and natural products I would recommend this particular line. It’s not the generic Wella, etc brands that you find in ever other salon. It’s better, sustainable, etc. Needless to say, these products aren’t available at ever salon and the Pittsburgh area only has three salons that offer Davines.
If you’re looking for a super-​posh, super trendy salon, you’re better off going to Shadyside. If you’re looking for superior skill, attentiveness, high quality, I would definately try Salon Bernabo. I see the same stylist each time, but the cuts I see leaving from the other stylists are top notch.
Next comes the ability of the stylist to provide some guidance on «what to do» with your hair. I really love that I have a stylist that is able to guide me when some of my ideas won’t work but provide me change. Hair is really important to me and after years of searching I’ve found a great place. I could not be happier and really look forward to getting my hair done here.
Finally I have to give praises to the owner. I’m not his client but he manages to say hello, compliment, and be very pleasant. That’s really impressive to me. I find that welcoming and humble.

I went here for a Deva Cut (special cut for curly hair) with Krystal. I found the salon on the Deva website and confirmed on the phone that they did Deva cuts. HOWEVER, when I went there what I got was a normal haircut with a couple Deva products and poorly executed techniques thrown in. My hair was cut wet, which, is when I should have stopped it but I didn’t even realize what was going on until it was too late. If you have straight hair and want a hair cut then I think you could get a great haircut here and everyone was very nice and the environment was just what I would want in a salon. But if I make an appointment for a service that you can’t actually offer then I would expect to be told and I wouldn’t have paid as much just for a normal haircut.
