She spent a good amount of time looking at my hair, looking at my face, and asked me what I was hoping for. Then she went to work and gave me an excellent cut. The vibe of the salon is simple and quiet. I wish she did color, but she has a partner who does, and I look forward to trying her out. She only sees clients during the week, which can be challenging for those who work full time during the week, but I will make it a priority to carve out time for her.

I prepared ahead of time, had a babysitter come, left work early, and came with photos. Right off the bat, Sierra seemed annoyed speaking with a coworker. I showed her my pictures of inspo, that did not seem to help. I repeated that I was looking for "sun-kissed" natural looking balayage to add dimension (something we had discussed in a previous session.) I told her that I trusted her, whether it be full or partial balayage (whatever it's called in this context). When I spoke, it seemed that we both repeated ourselves and the communication wasn't making sense, because the photos of the women had middle parts and no bangs. I said I was just using the photos for the color, I didn't have an exact photo of my hair cut and color. We kept repeating ourselves and I did not understand where the disconnect was, so I asked if it would be helpful if we brought another stylist over to help both of us understand what the other person wasn't understanding. She seemed offended by that, and didn't ask anyone else to see what the issue was that was unable to be understood. I said I trusted her, just use the photos as guide, just not as blonde as the highlights in the right but I like the placement of both. We spoke for a good 15 minutes it seemed like before she said "ok, I think I got it, I'll go mix up your color." When she walked away I did not understand why she was saying "I do all my consultations like this", acting like I was coming at her? I never raised my voice, I repeated that I trusted her, used no foul language, like I genuinely didn't understand what the issue was. 10 minutes later, she comes back in a completely different demeanor and was like "I don't feel comfortable doing your hair. It felt like we were arguing." And I thought to myself, "is she serious right now?" I can understand someone being sensitive, I am sensitive myself, but we were most certainly not arguing. So without making a scene, I picked up my stuff, and walked out of the salon in shock. I didn't feel like what had happened to me was right. I called the salon after I left and asked to speak to the Salon manager Melissa. She answered and said a whole spiel of the salon industry and how stylists can refuse service if they don't feel comfortable. She seemed annoyed, because as she was speaking she halfway said "hold on, let me finish" when I wasn't speaking at all- I had just been listening to her. I told her I understand that, but I didn't do anything. She said that the photos I provided to sierra were "wildly different", and she couldn't color my hair because she didn't feel comfortable. So what does Yelp think? Do you think these photos are unreasonable requests, and look wildly different? I have recommended Swank to friends and family in the past, but I will make sure to notify them of this absolutely horrific encounter from a mother who simply wanted some "me" time and to look summer ready. I'm astounded.

I was in dire need of a haircut and beard trim. I was tired of doing this for myself. I turned to Yelp to look for a barber to go to and that is when I remember a friend of mine telling me about this little place on Penn Ave. After a little sleuthing I finally found it (thank you Google Maps). Pulled up the Yelp page and saw that it was my luck that they were closed on that particular day. I took a chance and sent a message through their Facebook page and got myself an appointment. (For future reference, call the shop to make an appointment as I was told that they aren't always able to reply to messages via Facebook) Showed up a little before my appointment and was greeted as soon as I stepped foot in the door. Greeting me by my first name made me feel really welcomed and comfortable as soon as I arrived. What also put me at ease was the decor. It has this deconstructed feeling. I really liked the one wall and how they revealed what was beneath it and left it as it was. Patches of old exposed that made it look new-ish. Now, the part I hate with any haircut is having to make conversation. I always dread this because I am not good at chit-chat. However, Scooter made it easy to talk. From the him asking what I wanted the conversation just flowed out of me. I was taken aback because I never do this while getting my haircut. With a good conversation going I hardly recognized that he was finished. It felt like I just sat down and here I am getting up and looking at the amazing haircut I just received. Seriously, the best haircut I have ever gotten. Dude got himself a repeat customer for sure.

I'm not an overly fussy guy but my hair has so much volume that is looks very mushroomy when not cut right. Unfortunately, when I cheap out (yeah, SuperCuts) it always comes out awkward. Platinum knows how to cut hair. Nathan in particular. That man looked at my hair for a full five minutes like it was a block of immaculate granite. Finally, he saw the piece of art that was hiding within and let it free. Everyone's nice and participates in salon-wide banter which is a great diversion while getting your hair cut. The prices are incredibly reasonable considering the effort and time they put into your hair. I usually pay 30-40 bucks and tip 10. Honestly, for the quality, the price seems a bit cheap if you ask me.

I should have known better than to go anywhere but Lawrenceville for quality. (It's already been reviewed at Citysearch: http://pittsburgh.city...) What's to love? -Beautiful interior; high ceilings; flowers all over the salon; inviting, warm colors. -John. John! JOHN!! Amazing. He's funny, sassy, engaging, and attentive. -Location is great. Right across from the gorgeous 47th St. entrance to the cemetery, and not too far from New Amsterdam (bar) and Ambiance (vintage shop). What's not to love? -John ran over about 20 min with his appointment before me. I don't mind waiting some at a salon; it's not a science, so running over is acceptable. But when it's 20 min., the receptionist needs to acknowledge that, apologize, and give me an estimate. This receptionist sucked. She just asked me to have a seat and then disappeared. Flighty, bad ink, and said absolutely nothing after I paid her. This salon deserves better. -No website; and what does come up for them on Google is a site for a like-named salon in Wichita. Overall, I'm relieved. I found a salon I like and a stylist who is awesome. Now to work on getting on that needed staff change....
