I don't think I will ever go anywhere other than LAB salon ever again, I loved it here and cannot recommend enough! The inside was so cute and such a welcoming atmosphere, and everyone there could not have been nicer - especially my stylist, Lindsay! I scheduled a cut and dye, doing a pretty big chop to my hair. I had a meeting run over late with work and was so worried I was going to miss my appointment, I was going to be 30 minutes late and when I called to let them know and see if that was okay, they could not have been more accommodating. They let me know that they could be flexible and gave me different options, come in and do the cut and dye if time permitted once they saw and got a feel for what we were doing and how long it would take, just doing the cut and rescheduling for the dye, or rescheduling all together. We ended up being able to still do the cut and dye and I could not have been happier with how my hair came out!

I used to go here and would always ask for shorter layers and bangs. I literally never got the layers but the bangs were always fine. The lady I used to for go to left so I went to a new one and my bangs couldn't have been worse -- still no layers. Even when I went back they barely fixed them and were super condescending to me and I was like 16. I would NOT recommend going to this salon. The prices are fine but the services are quite shit and there's really no reason to talk down to someone for your mistake. Edit: I would like to clarify that I left this review so much later because I am honestly still hurt by the way I was treated when I was in this salon. It was a while ago, but I still live in the area and still pass this salon from time to time. I was a teenager, and I didn't get what I asked for. My hair is something that I am still very attached to as many women are, so when it was ruined I was very upset. What's more upsetting is that when I went back to get them fixed is how rude the owner was who fixed them. She blamed it on me for not being able to tell the stylist what I wanted. Once again I was 16. I don't think it's fair to treat anyone that way, but especially not a kid. Based on the response to this review it seems as if that is still the salon's attitude, so I would suggest anyone steer clear of bad service and bad attitude.

It's always scary going to a new hair studio, but I've needed a change and had heard good things about LAB Salon, so decided to give them a shot. It's discretely located in a strip of shops in Castle Shannon, which you could easily pass up if you're not looking for it. Walking in, the salon is decorated super cute, with neon signs, a plant wall, and many plants through out. It's very modern-looking, clean, and welcoming! I DMed the salon page on Instagram and was given an appointment with Abby, who was super bubbly and friendly. I wasn't really sure what I wanted for my hair, and she recommended some lowlights to make my already blonde hair "pop", as well as some toning and highlights around my face. While it took a bit longer than I was used to at my previous hair salon, Abby took her time to make sure everything looked good and I would like the final product. I appreciated the attention to detail she placed on my hair and that she took the time to give me adorable beachy waves once I was all done, too. With all of the work she had done to my hair, I worried it was going to be crazy expensive but was pleasantly surprised with the pricing, as well. I think I've found my new salon and will definitely be back!

LAB Salon such a wonderful trendy salon in Castle Shannon! My friend recommended LAB to me when she first tried it to get her eyebrows tinted and they looked AMAZING. I started with an eyebrow wax there. I am extremely picky with my eyebrows, I like them thick, and arched, but not way too arched (see what I mean?). Jess has done a phenomenal job each and every time. I can tell you my friend gets the henna brows there and she looks and feels phenomenal every time. I mainly go to LAB for my brows, but I've had my hair trimmed, and facials there. Done perfectly every time. Jess really listens to what I want done whether it's my hair or my brows. She really takes her time. I really enjoyed my facial there with Tamara as well. I'm very new when it comes to facials, the only other one i had done, i had a bad experience with. Tamara was absolutely great, she asked me questions about my skin, explained each and every step to me, and had a great conversation with her. The whole experience was very relaxing! During one of my brow visits, I had talked to Jess about getting my makeup done for my wedding. At this point, my wedding was a little over a year out. I am not very well versed in the process as far as hair and makeup, but Jess was very patient and explained each and very step to me. I am so very picky about my eye makeup, I have a monolid, which has proven difficult to get makeup done where I feel confident and beautiful. JESS NAILED IT. We kept in contact throughout the year and when I went in for my trial, just WOW. The quality and skill is just amazing. I will attach photos as they speak for themselves. I wanted to comment on the service, which is absolutely amazing. Initially, since I did not have a wedding party, we were just going to come into the salon, but a lot of my girlfriends had an Air BNB and expressed interest in getting hair and makeup done. Jess was prompt, efficient and so organized. We all knew the makeup and hair schedule as I got a detailed excel spreadsheet. Jess always responded and answered all my questions very quickly. Every single person that got their hair and makeup done that day commented about how amazing their makeup and hair was. It stayed on all day and night and everyone absolutely loved it. Not the mention, Jess and her gals are always so fun to just be around! Jess also went above and beyond for me. I had a hair piece that for some reason didn't have clips in it. She actually hot glued the clips in and then showed one of my friends how to change it out during the wedding. How amazing is that?? My experiences at LAB regardless of if it's a simple wax or wedding makeup have been extraordinary. Definitely a must visit salon in the South Hills!

I love LAB Salon and my hairdresser Lindsey. When I moved to Brentwood I looked on Yelp for a hair salon that was closer because I was tired of driving into the city to get my hair done. I'm very particular on who I let do my hair. I read about how great Lindsey was on Yelp so I made an appointment with her and figured, let's give her a try. Lindsey did (and does) an amazing job on my hair. She took me from a faded black with blue highlights to a black/blonde balayage in just a couple visits. I love my new color! Also let's mention how cute the salon is. Super hip and modern. And I love their music selection that's playing. They use vegan friendly hair products..another plus in my book. If you're looking for a salon in the south hills area I highly recommend LAB Salon!!

I can't say enough about this salon. It's beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff is amazing. Alina did Henna brow on my sparse brows and they turned out beautiful! Henna brow is 30$ plus 15$ for waxing. Please check out their IG for more pics.

So the old salon I used to go to (not going to mention their name, but if you creep on my yelp, I'm sure you'll figure it out). I have been going to them for maybe about two years. My hair goal was always to be super ashy and blonde. After spending literally hundreds of dollars and never reaching my goals I decided to jump ship to LAB. I've been creeping on Lindsey's Instagram and loved loved loved her blonde work! So before leaving for vacation I decided to see if she can get me in for a tone and root touch up. Luckily, she was super flexible and was able to get me in. Wahoo, needless to say my hair turned out awesome! HOLD UP! Did I mention all of their products are vegan friendly even their coffee creamer! I look forward to going back to Lindsey to reach my Hair goals.
