I have always loved getting my hair cut and colored, but going to Belle Salon and having Lori(owner) as my stylist, I can truly say it is an EXPERIENCE! I have long curly hair and a tendency to want to try things that will not work with me. Lori is honest, helpful, friendly and great at what she does! Whenever I take in my crazy Pinterest ideas she talks with me and is helpful in the decision making process. I feel confident that she won’t let me walk out the door looking crazy! Prior to going here, I had not tried the balayage method of hair color, but my hair(that I have been coloring for about 20 years) feels so much healthier and the coloring looks so natural. The experience is great, but the highlight of all, for me, is: 9 minute blowout. HOLYCRAP! I think i mentioned I have long curly hair. It takes me almost an hour to blow my hair out. This is a blow out like no other. I go in a frumpy mess and I come out with a head of long sleek freshly blown out wonder of straight haired goodness. A MAZING. Love love love. In addition to this recommendation, I have sent several friends(even a friend who is extremely particular about her sexy short hair) and have received nothing but rave reviews about their experience and satisfaction. Great salon, great experience. A Shadyside experience in White Oak.
