A co-worker came in with a dope haircut, prompting me to ask where she got it. Cut to me having a minute off, and time to make the appointment. The owner and head stylist, Kelley, had the last appointment free in 90 minutes, so come on by. Excellent. It's a little shop tucked across from the Giant Eagle (don't park in their lot!), with a comfy waiting area. Kelley called me over for the consult and just got it immediately. Not only that but she was enthusiastically on board with what I wanted. I had had a bad cut from a different salon previously and told her all the ways I didn't want to hold onto that shape, as well as what I did want. An hour later my hair was all over the floor in a ring of the fallen, and my hair looked AMAZING. All the texture and layers and movement I missed was there again. Seriously a great haircut. And she even passed on her car mechanic's info (contextually - I needed on and she was talking about it). Really aces. read more

This place is awesome!! Top notch staff, the best in the city. They will guide you the right direction. I feel very comfortable going in and look amazing leaving. The online booking is fast and convenient. And to top it off the antique hair gallery is great!! read more

I've been going to this salon since moving to the area late last year from Chicago. Kelsey is fantastic and I recommend her highly. She is extremely dedicated & talented, like a cross between a mad hair scientist and fairy bunny that sprinkles magic dust on your hair. read more

I had been going here for a couple years and always had a decent haircut. But recently I went in at their new location and was extremely disturbed by what I witnessed. While waiting to be seen, a customer was paying for her cut. She inquired if the cash-only tip policy was going to be changing, which is a reasonable question. It's a weird policy to have. The owner, who had been cutting someone else's hair, zipped over real quick and told the customer no. She went on to explain why, customer said okay, and left. That was all fine... But what happened next was very unprofessional. The owner didn't return to her other customer right away. She stuck around and actively gossiped about the customer who just left, saying all kind of nasty things about her and acting really annoyed. I'm giving this place two-stars because I liked my haircut. Otherwise, it would be a zero if I could. The owner was very unprofessional and nasty, and in plain sight of other waiting customers! read more

I highly recommend Mint Salon & Gallery and Kelley specifically. She has been cutting my hair for about 8 years, and I have followed her to several salons. I have a bit of a complicated haircut, and she always does it perfectly. You will also love the decor of the salon, with vintage pieces and rotating art on the walls for purchase. Plus, you can enjoy a glass of wine or other beverage before your haircut. How many salons offer that?! read more

As a new stylist in training, Kelsey spent a full hour on my hair, with consultation from Kelley, the salon owner, for only $15. Best promotion ever. She really took the time to discuss my hair with me, style it, and give product recommendations. She was also a total sweetheart and super personable. It was clear to me that she really loves and takes pride in her work. Thanks for being an awesome stylist! This was the first haircut I've had in Pittsburgh, and I'll definitely come back to Mint to schedule another cut with Kelsey my next go-around. The salon's cash-only tip policy was unusual and not preferred, but I was happy to tip well regardless, because she's seriously undercharging for the level of service she provides. I was tickled to be her guinea pig. read more

Kelley-the owner-has been my stylist for years. I was so happy and excited when she opened her own salon because I knew that not only would she employ the best stylists, but that her place would look amazing! The salon is super unique-my favorite part is that they have a rotating art gallery with an opening every few months with food and wine! Back to the hair-Kelley always knows exactly what color to pick and I always love it. Sometimes I come in wanting a little change but not sure what, and I have always left extremely happy with what she does. I actually live in LA now and no other stylist can come close. Whenever I come back to Pittsburgh, Mint Salon and Gallery is my first stop! read more

Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend Mint salon. I liked it very much when they were on Ellsworth. I first went to Haley, and she was great. But then she left. So I started going to Brandy, and she was great. Then she left. Hmm, a trend? So I then tried Danielle, and wasn't so impressed with her cut. At this point, the trend of good stylists leaving was enough of a concern that I started looking elsewhere to get my haircut. MCN, Avenue E, Whitehouse Salon, Alder Barber, and some others later - I've never come to find anybody I've liked as much as Haley or Brandy. So, I thought I'd come back to Mint's new location and get a cut from Kelley. It just wasn't a great experience. The door was open on a warm humid rainy day, so it was damp and uncomfortable inside. Kelley was friendly, but didn't come across as very professional. In the end, she cut off a lot more hair than I'd wanted, and left the sides pretty bushy and uneven, and kind of shrugged her shoulders, said my hair was hard to deal with, and that was that. Sad, but I won't be back. read more

I hadn't had my hair professionally done in a while so I was terrified! Thank god for Tiggy! She made me so comfortable (sometimes when you go, it's an awkward silence the whole time) not only did she fix the redness out of my hair and made sure to check with the owner that she was picking the right color but she made my hair look so much healthier! I'll definitely go back read more

Kelley is incredibly knowledgeable about style, cut and color. I always leave Mint Salon feeling refreshed and fab. Great vibe and totally friendly staff! read more

Kelsey just gave me the best haircut of my life! I'm obsessed with my new hair, and I'm someone who usually doesn't care about my hair. I can go months and months without getting a cut and style. Kelsey is crazy talented, professional, courteous, and super nice too. I just moved to Pittsburgh from the Bay Area, CA and already found my new amazing stylist. Thanks Kelsey see you for my next cut! read more

Got a trim on Christmas Eve. Called upfront around 10 AM and was connected immediately. Daniel was very detailed and worked with my hair with great patience (I have very thick hair). I asked if I could keep the current length and thin out, and after the shampoo, cut (trim) and drying, she patiently worked on thinning out my hair. I thought all the questions she asked me were precise (where I wanted to part my hair, if I wanted to keep the length of my bang which was longer than the rest, etc.) and I'm happy with the outcome. This is my second haircut in the US... My first experience at a "high-end" salon was not good so I wasn't expecting to be satisfied, but such a pleasant surprise! Also, the conversation throughout was warm and pleasant. I'm the one who likes to watch the process instead of talking, plus the language difficulty as being a foreigner, doubles up making me more silent, but I enjoyed the conversation. Unfortunately, I'm not too happy with the shampoo (no capes or towels put on to avoid getting wet) therefore the 4 stars. (Maybe this is something I will be facing anywhere and everywhere.) The artworks on the wall are giving a nice unique taste. read more

Kelsey always does a wonderful job on my hair, and listens to exactly what I want. She also has a great memory of my life story even though I don't get my hair cut that often, so it feels like visiting a friend when I get a haircut. The salon is so cute and in a very convenient location. It's right on Shady but I've never had trouble finding parking right out front. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I have been getting my hair cut and colored by Kelley for years, even before she took over and started Mint. Kelley's the best colorist and stylist I've ever gone to and I will never go anywhere else! She is a scientist when it comes to figuring out exactly what you want and what will look the best, and I know from other friends that go there that all the other stylists are top notch. There are a lot of salons in town but Mint has got to be the most affordable for such high quality work and service. read more

I lived in Los Angeles and have gone to many salons in Beverly Hills and paid top dollar. I was looking for something like that. I went here and let me say I am so happy about my hair!! I wanted a completely new look with bangs. I was very scared getting this done with a new hairdresser. But wow!! I am so happy with my hair! It looks exactly like the picture I brought in!! Haley was my hairdresser. She is down to earth and very nice!! I am defiantly going to be her regular!! This place has a great price!!!! Very affordable!! My hair looks better then what I paid in LA and I got it way cheaper!! I wish I could've tipped more!! I defiantly recommend coming here!!! And Haley is the best!! read more

The stylist did not listen to me. The cut was great and I said so, but they didn't stop. They continued to cut, thin, and layer my hair. It's very upsetting. read more

I just got back from an appointment with Haley, and I am extremely happy with my cut! I've been wanting to get bangs for a while now and finally decided to, still with some hesitation. Haley was extremely helpful in helping me decide how to get them cut and suggesting what would look best. She also made sure to ask me as she was going if I liked how they looked. The rest of the cut looks amazing as well, I couldn't be happier! Plus, as a poor college student, the price for a cut with her is very reasonable. read more

I always get a great cut here from Kelley. She and the rest of the staff are easy to get along with and professional. Prices are reasonable and it is a great location. Easy 5 stars. read more

I just had my haircut by Kelsey. I am a very very haircutting anxious Customer to put it gently, and I had not had my haircut in over a year because of a bad haircut experience previously. Kelsey took 6 inches off of my overgrown haircut, called me down off the ledge of doing my layers, and gave me an amazing haircut and took so much extra time to help me understand what was happening with my hair, and did an amazing amazing job. I can't recommend her highly enough. And this is coming from someone who is willing to pay $50 to get my haircut, and it was not $50 here, actually was inexpensive considering high-end haircuts. I had just heard about the salon from a total stranger who's haircut I just happen to like, got a same day appointment, and it is one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I can't say enough good things about it. read more

Kelly is amazing. I have a lot of curly hair and she is a magician with it. I always come out of the salon feeling like a rockstar.

Love this salon and the stylists that work there. I live in Greensburg, Pa with plenty of hair salons around, but make the 45 min drive every few weeks to see Dani. She is extremely knowledgeable about color and is more then willing to try something new. If you are looking for a fresh look stop into Mint salon and ask for Dani! She won't disappoint! read more

This place is insanely good. Jennifer is such a great stylist. She did my hair cut and suggested some highlight and the result was more than amazing. I've received so much compliments for my new hair cut and I can't recommend this salon more read more

My daughter and I both get our hair done by Kelly. She listens and she is a perfectionist. I always get a great cut and my daughter recently got "balayage" and then coloring is incredible. 5/5 stars for Mint and Kelly! (She appreciates promptness!) read more

First salon I've been to where they didn't push product on me!!!! Kelley did an amazing job with my fine hair and even taught me about what build up from cheap shampoos can do! I ended up buying a shampoo to clear out all the buildup. The salon is cute and clean. The vibe was super laid back, conversation between the stylist was casual and easy. I will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent service, on time, great cut, super at highlighting

My fiance and I moved to Pittsburgh in June. As every lady knows, finding a new stylist can be daunting. I initially just got a haircut to see if I felt comfortable at Dante, which Haley executed perfectly. A couple months later, my hair still looked great, but I figured I'd give color a try there as well. Brandy asked just the right questions to get me the effect I was going for. I got partial foil highlights, a cut, and a blowout. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the attention to detail you get at this salon. They have very high quality products as well, which left my hair smelling and looking great even the next day. Even the front desk is extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks Dante Salon, for making a girl feel at home! read more

Mint is such a little gem! Kelley & her team are just lovely and fun. I've had my hair cut & dyed at Mint quite a few times and have been thrilled with my hair every time. It's not easy to find a good salon for cut & color work, but I'm so happy that I was referred to Mint by a friend of a friend. Beautiful, precision cuts + the decor is cool & fun. It just feels like an awesome, cozy and special place. In short, Mint rocks! read more

Mint Salon is fantastic! The staff is always kind and lots of fun. Kelley is a fantastic hair stylist. I searched far and wide to find a hairdresser who fit for me, and I found that in Kelley. She has been cutting my hair for nearly 4 years. She's the only person I trusted to do a pixie cut on me, and it was amazing! As I've grown my hair out, she's done an equally amazing job. I highly recommend coming to the salon and getting a cut from Danielle, Kelsey, or Kelley. They're reliable, friendly, and affordable. read more

Dante Salon changed owners a few months ago and is now called Mint Salon. The new owner, Kelly, clearly has no customer service skills nor any regard for the satisfaction of her clients. I suspect she will be out of business very, very soon. I'm about to write a novel, but the summary is that there are plenty of other good salons in the area and Dante/Mint does NOT deserve your business!! Danielle is the one who attempted to color my hair. She failed miserably. I went in to see if I could get a color consultation appointment and I talked to Danielle about doing on ombre on my slightly-longer-than-shoulder-length hair. I know that ombre is typically done on darker, longer, more layered hair, but I have seen it look really nice on hair similar to mine. I have never had my hair colored before, so I asked lots of questions to make sure I was going to get exactly what I wanted. I explained to her why I wanted an ombre: I wanted some sort of color change, but don't want it to grow out noticeably, and ombre is just color on the ends of the hair, which is perfect. Danielle said that she just learned a new technique to ombre hair in a more subtle way, and we agreed that sounded like a good idea because of my hair length and color. I ended up with a weird mixture of chunky and stringy highlights that didn't quite touch my roots. It looked awful. Absolutely not an ombre by ANY means. But, since I'd never had my hair colored before, it took me a day or so to realize how botched it was. I called them and explained that I don't think I got what I asked for, and if I could come back in to have them fix it. The receptionist was really polite and sweet and told me to come back in and they would take care of it. Round two, I should not have trusted Danielle again. She put a color lifter on my ends and called it a day, only after charging me for the product and a crooked trim. It looked even worse. Again, I should have realized before I left, but I felt like I was under a lot of pressure. Danielle and Kelly consulted with each other within my earshot about how they -did- give me an ombre, and just in general made me feel like I was being a huge problem for them. I made sure to be extra polite but it didn't seem to matter. I ended up going to Nadia Salon on Walnut Street where Lee saved my hair. However, the damage that Danielle did was so extensive that he had to cut off a bunch of dead ends, fix the crooked trim, and apply color to my roots to cover the highlights--- all of these things could have been avoided if only Danielle had actually given me the hair I asked for, instead of defending herself and using me as a guinea pig for this so called "new technique". I went back to Mint/Dante and (politely, again) asked to speak with the owner. She was with a client, so I asked her if she would have time to speak with me today at all. She flat out said "nope"! I understand that she was busy but that was so rude. It's a small place (same 4 stylists each time I was there) so I am positive she recognized me. Danielle was at the front desk and I told her that even though I came back to have my hair fixed, I am still not happy with it, and would like to know if I could get some sort of refund. She gave me Kelly's card and said I could email her. (I brought my boyfriend with me so that I wouldn't back down) He politely said that I have already spent a lot of time/money here, and I don't want emailing her to be another big ordeal. We were there to clear the air and talk with the owner before writing a bad review somewhere. Danielle said Kelly would be able to talk with us in 15 minutes. We waited 25 minutes while listening to them talk about how my hair looks worse now (it doesn't). After that, I left my email and told Kelly she could contact me to work something out. Then I got the f*** out of there. I'm sure other stylists there have done good work, and normally I would say that the stylist does not represent the whole of the salon, but Kelly was unbelievably rude. She is the owner of the salon and therefore she must own up to the work of her stylists. I would be willing to edit this review if she contacted me for a refund, but it really doesn't seem like that's her style. Please, please don't give them your money. Picture of my hair after the first visit: i.imgur.com/E853WIg.jpg i.imgur.com/2Z10s4Z.jpg That's supposed to be an ombre.. After she "fixed it": i.imgur.com/PMJL5KA.jpg i.imgur.com/G81QvMX.jpg read more

I've had probably a dozen cuts at Mint by Kelsey. My hair is fine and straight and a good cut makes all the difference. Kelsey has given me a truly great cut every time. When I was ready to change styles, she helped me decide what would work for me, taking into consideration my hair type, time I was willing to spend on it (not much), what would be most flattering--and she hit it out of the park right away. She's also fun to talk to and a kind soul. read more

The good news: My color and highlights were fine. The cut, however, was exactly what I said I didn't want. Instead of the promised volume and style, I received a super short boy's cut, which doesn't lay right. Plus, they charged $200. That's more than Philip Pelusi charges. Outrageous rates for a hole in the wall. Mint's furnishings look like they came from a flea market. read more

I have been going to Mint for a few months now, and have been extremely pleased with everything about it. Kelley is my stylist, and she does both my hair and my daughter's hair. First off, she really listens to what you want to do, and gives suggestions and ideas based on the look you are going for. I've left the salon thrilled each time she has done my hair. And my daughter, who goes for the crazy, trendy colors, loves her look each time as well. And, Kelley does one of the best wavy blow-outs that I have ever had. The last one I had lasted from Saturday until Thursday in hot, humid weather...and she doesn't charge extra for it either. Kelley is also personable and funny, and makes the experience of sitting for a bit with color on your hair entertaining and fun. It also seems like what I pay for my services is really reasonable. I've gone to salons before where I have walked out after getting the same services with a much larger bill at the end. read more

Mint Salon/ Dante really DOES deserve your business!!!!! I will not write novel,but tell you that Kelley, yes the owner, is wonderful. She is talented, energetic and truly cares about every customer. When I arrived there in Sept 2013, after a horrible haircut from another nameless salon. Kelley assured me that with careful cutting and time...my hair would recover.....my 1st cut was to correct all the previous errors, all the cuts that followed fine tuned an amazing haircut.....and my haircut today.....well let me say that had i skipped my cut, no one would have know....the perfect haircut....i NEVER have "bad" hair days....... the staff is friendly and welcoming...the new flair and design of the salon is fresh and lively....I hope that Alison S will never come back...try Super Cuts! read more

If you have asian hair, go here. Brandy has really good scissor technique which is great for getting texture on what is considered difficult hair. She is leaps and bounds better than others in pittsburgh (or california or boston for that matter) read more

I've been a client of Kelley's for about 10 years now. This salon really embodies what can describe Kelley as a stylist - fresh, unique and modern. I always have a hard time figuring out what I want to do with my hair. I love that Kelley gives me imput and really takes her time to make sure I'm getting exactly what I want ( even when I don't know what that is). You can really tell that this is her passion. She always picks the perfect color for me. And when I'm ready for a change, she always has something even more perfect already in mind. And the color really stays! I have to wash my hair every day & I can go six weeks with no problem! The other thing that makes me love this place even more is the rest of the staff. Everyone is so welcoming that you really feel like you're in a room with a bunch of friends. The energy in this place is just infectious! You can really tell when people truly enjoy working with each other, which makes for a comfortable, enjoyable & pleasant experience. And did I mention there's wine?? read more

I've been going to see Kelley for about 7 years now, well before she opened Mint. I've had a wide variety of hair styles over that span of time, from long to a bob to a pixie and back again (and in various colors,) and Kelley has nailed it every single time. Her staff is courteous, professional, and very friendly. I have and will continue to recommend her to people looking for a new stylist. read more
