My mother kept insisting my girls needed to try Philip Pelusi. I refused to go back there after many years ago getting a horrible hair cut by someone. I have naturally curly hair & she refused to put product in my hair to style it curly with a hair dryer, even though I insisted if she didn't my hair would be horribly frizzy. Well, she didn't listen & I looked ridiculously frizzy & like a mushroom head. My 14 year old daughter wanted to get a perm. They cut a HUGE chunk out of her head to test the strand. Never called her back with results. My 13 year old daughter had an appt for highlights about 6-7 months ago & they cut a strand off of her head to test first when we arrive for appt. After a few minutes, we were informed her hair would not actually go blonde cuz of the chlorine in her hair from swimming. They said it would break and be horribly damaged. So I took my daughter to our usual master colorist hair stylist who gave her the most gorgeous highlights. Her hair did easily go blonde and there was zero damage. Such a waste of our time at PP. But clearly I didn't learn my lesson as I gave them one more chance at my moms insistence. My other daughter has a formal coming up & wanted to go blonde for it. Once again my mom insisted we try PP again since she had no chlorine in her hair. It took weeks for us to get an appt. We arrive for appt today & again they cut another stand of her hair for a test. Since she hadn't swam in over 7 months, we didn't foresee there being an issue. After the strand test, manager comes out to tell us they can't do my daughters hair today as it's too damaged. The strand test showed her hair won't go blonde & there would be too much breakage and damage. My daughter was devastated. Even though our usual master colorist hair stylist was off today, I reached out to her to see if she can fit my daughter in this week and make her blonde. Within 5 mins of being turned away by PP, my usual lady told me it would be no problem to get my daughters hair blonde (and she knows as she does her hair & understands her hair) & she'd squeeze her in this week. Another waste of time at PP that has resulted in nothing but disappointment for my daughters. Trust me, no more chances. I've learned my lesson. read more

If Danielle moves to Hong Kong either I will pay for her to fly back every 6 weeks or I am moving to Hong Kong. There is a lot of turnover at the reception desk but the stylists have been there for years. It is a great group of people. Very upbeat environment. Highly recommend this location AND free parking. Great products and education about them - but no pushy salesmanship. It is expensive but I look at it as an investment in me ... read more

I was very disappointed with Bethany. From beginning to end, she acted uninterested and as if she just wanted to be done; my entire visit (it was just a trim but I expected more attention to be given to it than she gave) was a half-hour, leaving me feel like she rushed through the process. When she was done, I had to ask for a mirror so I could look at the back of my hair and I was glad I did as there was a chunk of hair sticking up. I pointed it out and her response was "I can use a flat iron to bump that down." That's the level of service I got for $56! read more

Overall, I was unhappy when leaving Philip Pelusi. But, looking back on it now, the experience is really what I expect from a place at the mall, and all I really wanted was a quick trim to get rid of some bad ends, and I got that. Key points: -The chairs are super uncomfortable. I don't know if it was because I was short or what, but I wanted to rip out my spine by the time I was done. -The hair dressers look sloppy. If you look like you gave birth 3 days ago, do not wear a skin tight mini dress. You are a hair dresser, you should look good. And do your effing hair for H sake, I mean really... -My hairdresser kept ripping my head from side to side. I realize you need my head to be positioned a certain way, just ask me. -The lady at the front just pissed me off for some reason. No idea why, but she gave me bad vibes. All of that being said, I got a $34 shampoo, cut, and dry that wasn't bad, nothing special, but it wasn't bad. So, if you are at the mall and need a cut, I would still go for it. They seem experienced enough to do a good job, they are just bad at the whole "experience" thing. P.S. I have super long hair that some hairdressers have messed up a simple cut like this, so my hairdresser did have some talent even if my haircut was a simple trim. read more

As a woman with naturally frizzy, curly, seriously unruly hair (I've been blowing it out for smoothness for basically my whole life), I'm a NERVOUS WRECK when it comes to haircuts. But BETHANY, oh, Bethany... she totally killed it and I/my hair/my ego are fabulous. I scheduled another appointment right there for 5 weeks from then for another trim and some color. I'll follow back up on the new 'do then! But so far what I can tell you for sure... Go to Bethany. She's a boss mama. read more

I went here for an impromptu eyebrow wax that was fairly uneventful (to the point where it didn't even occur to me to Yelp it), except for the fact that one week later, I got a follow-up call from the salon to ask me about the service and to make sure that I was happy with the quality. I was impressed, especially since I was just a walk-in. Nicely done, Philip Pelusi -- if I wasn't moving cross country in a few weeks, me and my eyebrows would be regular customers. read more

Open on Sundays and fantastic service. I was very pleased with my experience here. I got a blowdry from Darla. She was great; asked me what I wanted and clearly had experience to ask good questions and apply what she heard from me. The entire staff was friendly. I felt the prices were quite reasonable, and they had me in and out in 45 minutes. I wouldn't hesitate to go back next time I am in the area. read more

their advertisement is inaccurate. website states 99-105$ for highlights but when i called it STARTS at 138. unacceptable.

Gave this salon 5 stars! Beth is amazing!!!!!! Regis salon screwed my step daughters hair up and Beth fixed it and looks amazing! Beth is a great hair stylist and her personally is even better!! read more

I've been here 3 times to get a cut and color...each time, it has been far from what I've asked for (many pictures provided). Blotchy highlights that do not blend nicely and the ends were barely touched with color. When I asked the stylist to incorporate more highlights, she insisted I didn't need it and brought over another stylist who just parted my hair farther over to even out the color on both sides. I thought maybe the third time would be the charm but I will not be going back. read more

I was in the salon on March 3, 2014. I recently moved to the Pittsburgh area and was looking for a great salon. Much to my disappointment I was very upset by the way I was treated. I had recently did box color on my VERY healthy hair and did not like the color I got. I wanted them to correct it, they stated that their color would not cover. But, they did take a sample of my hair and I waited approximately 15 minutes while they tested it. When I looked at the sample it look like my hair had never had any thing done to it as far as testing the hair color. The girl stated that their color did not work on my hair, she stated I needed to come back in six weeks to have it done. I have never been treated so rudely in any salon before. I left and went to another salon in the mall and they had no problem correcting my hair color. I am very disappointed and will never return to this salon. You only get one chance to form a good first impression and this salon failed miserably. read more

Today was my 2nd visit to philip pelusi at ross park. I had an apt for 2pm. I arrived at 1:55 and was not taken back until 2:15. It was very busy but I was annoyed that I had to wait 15 min past my apt time. All I went in for was a trim, and my layers trimmed. The girl started cutting my hair but 10 min in, she left me to go color another womans hair. I couldnt believe it. So i sat there in the chair for 10-15min while she did that. She then came back to me and thankfully found someone else who was able to rinse this womans color out. I was happy that she wouldnt have to leave me yet again. Having the person leave mid cut has never happened to me at a hair salon. Having to wait over 15min past my apt time then having to wait again mid cut is unacceptable to me. The girl was apologetic, Im not sure if she was double booked or what happened but it definitely makes me not want to come back. read more

Not worth the money or aggravation. Pressured to buy products and they keep pestering me with emails. Stylist was great; wish i could find him! Not going back. read more

If you're going to the Philip Pelusi in Ross Park mall, I VERY HIGHLY recommend asking for Darla. I am almost 28 years old and she is the only hair stylist that has ever given me exactly what I ask for and has gone above and beyond to do it. I'm mixed with tons of very thick, coarse hair that was was not in the best shape before seeing Darla for the first time about 4 years ago and my scalp has always been very sensitive to the relaxers most salons use. I don't know how her arms don't fall off after seeing me (an almost 3 hour visit), but after only having to describe my concerns one time, she only uses a specific sensitive relaxer and even takes the time to part my hair in tiny sections and put a protective coat of a gel on my scalp before even applying the relaxer! I had never been pain/burn free when getting this service done before until now and I can't tell you how much I appreciate her extra efforts. She is also the only stylist to ever listen to my "smallest trim possible" request. My hair takes forever to grow and other stylists I saw in the past would always chop off any new growth I had with their definition of a trim. Darla knew that I was just looking for a clean up to get/keep my hair healthy without taking too much away from the length and did it exactly how I asked. This review probably seems excessive, but she's awesome and well deserving of the praise. I moved almost an hour away from this location and refuse to go elsewhere! I would go to Darla for any service and you should too! read more
