Above All Grand Salon & Spa

I received a gel manicure and after only 2 days 5 nails peeled right off. I get gels regularly and have never had this happen. I can usually get at least 10 days before I see any peeling, chipping, etc. I called the salon and they were very accommodating in getting me an appointment to have them re done. When I arrived the woman fixing my nails seemed annoyed, as she was not the nail tech that had originally applied the gels. She warmed up and it was fine. The following morning another nail peeled right off. I told the front desk when I called I wanted a new set but did not receive a new set. She just did the ones that needed re done. I’m extremely disappointed as I paid more for these than other salons charge, abd what I usually pay. I won’t be back.

I am so ridiculously insanely thrilled with Above All Grand Salon and Spa. It’s really hard for me to find a place that I like for the price and the cut. It always seems like it is so difficult to get someone to listen to what I want, but that was certainly not the case here.
I was recommended by a friend of a friend to try out Above All, specifically to see Tara Lee. Before this referral, I never heard of them. I called and was able to get an appointment within two days. Other places I have called seem to take weeks to get in.
When I arrived, I was floored by the cleanliness and stylish décor. It really felt like an experience walking in. The reception area was nice and so were the staff. It is a little weird depending on where you park your car. There is a back lot that is different than the large lot Whole Foods is in. If you park in the back, you’re actually in the front of the salon.
Tara Lee greeted me and listened to every request I had. She literally gave me the perfect haircut. I could not possibly be more pleased. It is such a relief to find someone I can trust with my hair and that I actually want to return to. I am not easy to please. The price, for me, was absolutely perfect: not cheap, but not ridiculously expensive either. I can’t wait to go back, which is weird, but I mean it. My brother’s fiancé went to a different stylist, and she was really happy with her cut and color as well so I guess it’s a safe bet to try out anyone in the salon, but I definitely suggest Tara Lee.

My experience at Above All was not satisfactory for me. I had to wait an awful long time to get into the salon and then on my appointment day, I sat in the waiting room for almost a half hour. When I finally got to the salon chair my hair stylist asked me if I wanted some coffee or tea, super sweet of her, but then never brought it. I thought maybe she just over looked it. Later on in the appointment she apologized for forgetting about the coffee and mentioned that she also forgot about my request to dye my eyebrows and that now it was too late to do it at all. Her boyfriend came and joined us for the last half hour of my appointment, awkward. They were chatting and I felt super uncomfortable. The final product of my hair was decent but not what I was looking for. I may try a different stylist next time.

After getting my haircuts from the usual chain places and being unhappy, I got recommended here to get my haircut after moving to Pittsburgh and to get it done by Rachel specifically.
Usually I leave the salon unhappy about my hair for one reason or another, but with every cut I got from Rachel there has been no complaints. Shes always very warm and friendly and will listen to you on how you want your hair done. She always does a thorough job and I never feel like shes rushing to finish.
Above All is a little pricey, but you’re not getting Supercuts service or quality.

Went here for a gel mani/​pedi 3 days before my wedding thinking I would get a nicer and more «pampered» experience rather than going to any walk-​in place down by me. Like a previous review I read — it was an extremely disappointing experience. I paid for a full gel manicure yet they barely did any grooming or cuticle work, there was a large gap between my cuticle and the start of the polish, and I didn’t receive any massage/​moisturizer. I mentioned to the girl that she didn’t do anything to my cuticles and she responded that «she doesn’t do that with gels». (?not sure why?) So I essentially paid $ 35 for another person to paint my nails and do nothing else. Afterwards I complained to the manager and they went back and had the girl remove the polish and do it again but with some grooming. She did a rushed job and the polish was full of bubbles and chipped by the time my wedding occurred 3 days later. Extremely disappointing service for what I paid– buyer beware!

Quite honestly one of the worst experiences for the price tag.
This was my second visit (1^st visit was just a ½ arm wax, which was reasonably priced and the technician was skilled and friendly). This time I had a gel manicure, spa pedicure, brow and lip wax.
I purchased the deluxe spa pedicure assuming it’d be more of everything. It wasn’t. Very little massage (basically just applying the lotions and oils) then painting. Nearly no grooming besides minor filing.
The gel manicure was basically a polish change, and both my fingers and toes looked as though they already had a weeks worth of growth once she finished (there was a decent gap between the paint ending and my nail bed beginning).
Figuring, hey, ok, not a great experience but their wax was reasonable, so at least the nail pricing should be too, I proceeded to my waxing. This lady was painful but fast. She also over groomed (my brows are pretty thin now).
Happy to be done and deciding I probably would not come back (except that the lady that did my nails was friendly) I went to pay. $ 125!!! ($ 20 for the wax, $ 35 for the gel manicure (a.k.a. polish change), and yes… $ 70 for the deluxe spa pedicure). I asked the cashier if she was serious, especially given the level of service. She just sort of shrugged.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have minded the price as much had it been the full service I expected. If I had to price what I actually got, I’d say (and this is being generous) $ 10 for the polish change, $ 20 for the pedicure, and $ 15 for the wax. In my mind I was overcharged at least $ 80! And then I was silly enough to tip generously (that’s my fault).
To top off the experience, the next day the polish came off my pinky. I won’t be back ever and I warn you ladies out there, buyer beware.

I’ve been coming here for years and have never left with a bad hair cut. I had Shanna today with a last minute appointment, and it’s one of my favorite haircuts I’ve had in years. She is young, but super skilled.

I get mani/​pedis, waxing and lashes.
The technicians are professional and friendly.
The salon is clean and trendy.
If it wasn’t for the receptionists at the front desk
(or should back desk), I may have given a 5 star review. I have to say that I’ve never encountered such a rude, unfriendly, caustic group of women.
I’ve been told that this is a common complaint and that the owner knows, but doesn’t care.

Carissa is the person to see for an amazing eyebrow arch! She is extremely talented, friendly and professional. Carissa will trim your eyebrows if needed. She is a class act!
The spa is very clean and upscale.

I decided to try this Salon based on the reviews and I was disappointed.
The salon was very nice inside and clean. However I was disappointed in my stylist who I felt had no idea what she was doing. I went in for a simple trim and my hair came out uneven. I also noticed they l’oreal hair products, that doesn’t exactly scream high class salon to me.

My go-​to place for hair. Stylists are very experienced and know how to cut very flattering looks for each individual person. Very informed and cooperative, and perfectly happy to listen to my numerous requests/​questions/​etc. Beautiful salon as well, very luxe inside, but not gaudy. Convenient location too.

Took my little cousin here for a mani/​pedi day. I have to say, for the cost I was completely underwhelmed.
When I first walked in I was instructed to walk straight to the back. When we walked to the back, we stood there for 5 minutes before anyone told us where to go or what to do. Being first time customers, we didn’t know what to do.
Secondly, again for the cost, they had a VERY limited selection in nail polish. When my little cousin asked if they could do a certain design, they said no way. The service left a lot to be desired for the price.
The two technicians were very pleasant and tried for what they had to work with.
The salon in general is very nice, clean, and upscale otherwise.

This place is wonderful! Lily has been doing my hair for almost a year, and she is an absolute rockstar! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place to get your hair done. Prices are reasonable for the quality of service you get.

If you’re thinking this salon must be good since they look like a high –end salon, think twice. My overall experience was very disappointing both with the stylist and the haircuts and color I received. I spent alot of money in this salon and was dissatisfied. In a nice way, I expressed this to my stylist. Needless to say, it did not go over well. She did not admit to her errors and was defensive.
In addition, the owner does absolutely nothing to express her gratitude to people who spend a ton of money in her salon. She has a coffee machine in her salon. She can’t even offer a free cup of coffee to her patrons? Shameful.

Have been here a few times (3 to be exact) and it is fabulous every time. Go for the massages:) and usually with my best friend to celebrate our birthdays which are a week apart:). Went and had the hot stone massage today and I may never go back to a regular. Wow! Phenomenal and awesome and relaxing! Love it! Happy 40^th to my bestie!

Had a body scrub with a delightful lady at the spa. Fully enjoyed the experience though must admit that my skin did not feel any different after the «tropical experience». Don’t think I will try another body scrub there but perhaps another service.
Also had a consult with Meena [?] regarding the keratin treatments offered. She did not seem as knowledgeable about the service as others I have spoken with. Probably should have gone with the expert that the receptionist had me chose between with Meena being the other option.
I think my expectations were a bit too high from what I had heard from others. A little disappointed but I may give them another try with a different service.

Bought a gift card here. She likes it.

Whether it’s my birthday, Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc., my answer is always the same — «get me a gift certificate to Above All.»
I highly recommend this place for all things spa. The facials and mani/​pedi services are truly exceptional. I sincerely look forward to these appointments.
For this visit I made a double appointment with my friend. The front desk was very helpful with coordinating our services. We both had vitamin C facials, manicures and pedicures. The facial was relaxing and restorative and I had the pleasure of booking Tara Lee for the best mani/​pedi in the business. She is absolutely my basis of comparison for manicure excellence. In a sense she has ruined me because no one compares to her technique.
I’ve been a loyal customer at Above All for over five years now. Their commitment to quality in the spa services department keeps me coming back.
Love this place.

I had a mani-​pedi here, and while it wasn’t the best I’d ever had, it was pretty close! Totally relaxing, and a great selection of OPI colors. The woman who did my nails said that they always get in all of the OPI collections, and it was great to see that indeed, they did have the latest collection that I’d only seen online. Not like some other salons that advertise having OPI, and then have a small amount.
I was impressed that they didn’t cut cuticles. That’s one of my benchmarks for how thorough a salon is. I never felt rushed, and felt like I was getting personalized attention the entire time.
I smudged my thumb when I was leaving, but that’s mostly my fault. I had them do a new OPI that called for not having a top coat, and I think it just wasn’t set enough. I came home and added a top coat, and all is well now. I would definitely go back in the future — price is reasonable enough that it would make a period mani-​pedi an attainable treat.

Since my previous review, a lot has changed at Above All Grand Salon and Spa. Haircuts are less expensive (I got mine done by one of the owners, so perhaps that’s why it was more expensive), and they’ve widened their types of massages.
The current owner wrote me and was very responsive to my previous reviews, and I have to say that attentiveness like this reflects the quality of the business.
