When looking for a beauty parlor where hair solutions are needed, I am glad to have found Salon Iaomo. Medically induced alopecia is no fun and with what hair I have left requires delicate care. I met with Maureen one of their experts in the field and we discussed obtaining a hair topper to give me volume and coverage needed so that my thinning hair isn't as sensitive to normal cold weather. They sell both human hair and synthetics wigs, as well as toppers. Maureen was very compassionate and understanding. She helped me find a basic topper which can be color matched to my own hair and cut appropriately. I like the fact that the topper just clips to my hair and I can still care for my regular hair as I am accustomed to . With a Yelp check in you are entitled to 20% off any service which I will find helpful in the future. The salon has 3 private beauty rooms as well as a public area and another room for special treatments. The private rooms have a TV in them as well. I'm glad they have these rooms since when dealing with a delicate situation, I feel more comfortable. In the main waiting room you can get free popcorn, cold canned beverages, coffee, and water. Restrooms are located just outside the salon and you take a key if you need to go there. I liked the fact that the worked with me to find as close to the color match as my hair so that it will look natural. Learning how to care for a topper will take practice but I'm glad they helped me find one I would be happy with. Note-they do not accept checks for payment however, both cash and credit cards are acceptable. They do give you advance notice of your appts as missed appts will result in a cancellation fee. Expect to pay more here but on the flip side you are getting quality and a very knowledgable staff. Salon Iaomo is located on Greentree Rd next to the Greentree Inn. You have to enter however, by turning down Western Ave and then turn left into their parking lot. They are open Tue-Sat. When scheduling it is a good idea to book out in advance as slots are taken up fast. Looking forward to working with Maureen for my future hair needs. read more

Do NOT go to Cathy! I went in for a shag and I don't know what I got but there's not much shag, just all short on top. She was razor happy & didn't listen to what I wanted or reference the inspo pics. A year and a half of growth gone! I feel violated and depressed and ugly. The owner, Roberta was accommodating and did her best to fix Cathy's mistake. She met me at the salon on a Sunday. Roberta ordered me clip in extensions & colored them to match my hair. Roberta also gave me products for my hair. That was very nice and professional of her to remedy the situation. Before & after pics. read more

I'm new to the area and was looking for a great hair salon close to home. Salon Iaomo showed up in my search results multiple times. After reading the reviews, I decided to give them a try. I just finished my first appointment and I'm really happy with my experience here. My stylist Cathy took the time to evaluate my hair and clearly communicate how much length she was taking off and the overall style of my hair. She double checked with me again later in the appointment to make sure I was satisfied with the length and that enough of the damaged hair was removed. She took her time with the cut and style and the appointment never felt rushed. We had great conversation and she left me with a beautiful style with waves that I loved! I already booked my next appointment and will happily be returning. I would recommend this salon for clients in the Green Tree area. read more

Salon Iaomo - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I was so nervous to find a new hairstylist when I moved to Pittsburgh, but I'm so glad I found Maureen at Salon Iaomo. I really like that she has a separate room rather than being in an open room with other people. As someone who's self conscious about their hair and how its texture has changed and how heat has damaged it over the years, I'm so appreciative of Maureen's no-judgement attitude. She always makes sure I love my hair before I leave and I always feel great afterwards. read more

Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had at a salon. I requested medium blonde highlights (two tones, low light and highlight) and even had pictures of two hair styles to indicate the color range I wanted to stay within) with chunky layers and some angling to the front. The hair stylist, Maureen, first made comments that I had really long and thick hair and seemed a bit overwhelmed by this. Normally, my hair is cut to a base length to start prior to the application of highlights. This was not the case and she began applying dye to my full length hair (down to waist). However, that was not the strangest part. The highlights were applied over plastic wrap that was laid over my back. I even questioned this and said I have never had anyone give me highlights using plastic wrap, only foil packs. She stated they could be done either way and she preferred this approach. There was no separation of hair to create even highlights or any containment of the individual colors, and the hair stylist didn't complete front to back and instead applied large stripes to each side of my head at the part. By the time she had applied all of these layers of plastic, they had already begun to slide down, meaning that varying amounts of roots were not receiving color. Also, factor in that this plastic wrap was open at the bottom, so dye was all over my arms and some was on my clothes. Somehow there was a blob of dye on my face as well. When it was time to cut my hair, she didn't know how to approach it and had me stand up in order to cut it? To make matters worse, my appointment was in the afternoon and ran over past their normal closing time, so I was left alone with the stylist in a locked building. Therefore, there was no one to speak to about this when the job was completed. I honestly thought that this particular stylist just had a different niche and was out of her depth with this type of styling and I was locked in with her, so there is not much you can do in that situation. I didn't have any faith that she could fix this and didn't want her to make it worse. I called first thing this morning to address the issue and advise that I wanted a refund or would need them to fix my hair this morning, as I have an event at 2 pm today. Sadly, the owner of this salon is the person that did my hair!!! She flatly stated no refunds and said that the earliest they could fit me in was next week. I stated that this was unacceptable, as I cannot leave my hair like this. When i stated that if i had to pay someone else to fix their mistake i would be posting a negative review, they came back and said I can squeeze you in at 2:30. I repeated that I have an event at 2 pm and this must be fixed before that time. She said well I don't know what you want me to do here. I offered and that is what I have. I stated that they should move things around to fix their mistake. She was very defensive from the start and rude on the phone, stating that I asked for chunks of colors. I restated that I specifically asked for medium blonde highlights and chunky layers, which she told me I couldn't get unless I went with a short haircut, so my hair is only slightly layered on an angle. I stated that if they were unwilling to fix their mistake, that I would post this review here, in order to prevent anyone else from going through this experience. She then stated to someone else in the salon, "She is going to make it look bad on there". I replied that it does look bad, I dont have to do anything but take a picture and she then hung up on me. Needless to say, with an owner that does this quality of work and then behaves in this way, take your money elsewhere. Take a look at the photos to see for yourself. There is absolutely no excuse for this type of work from a professional salon. read more

I had the worst experience ever at this salon with a stylist named Kathy. I went in with medium brown hair and caramel highlights. I simply wanted my roots done with the to match the medium brown. I left with bright red hair on the top of my head where she applied the color for my roots. The owner's tried to fix the mistake, but to no avail stating that "red" is very difficult to undo. I spent over 2 hours there and finally stormed out. I do not freak out about my hair, but this was a total freak out as I could not be out in public the way it was. I would stay as far away from this salon as possible. read more

Even though I usually tend to be picky when it comes to who gets to cut my hair, all the girls at this salon are awesome! They can always count on my haircut being long overdue when they see me because i have a bad habit of putting it off, as you can see in the before pictures. With that being said when I do make it into the salon they do an amazing job at fixing me up. Every time, I walk out feeling so much better and more confident than I did when I came in. Highly recommend checking them out!! read more

This salon is a legitimate award winner in Carnegie. While their prices have gone up recently, their stylists are extremely well trained, they are generally very good with staying on time (a common problem for other salons I've been to) and I've never had a bad haircut there! They also have free beverages and candy, which is always a plus in my book. If you're not a client, you can sometimes find Groupons for Salon Iaomo. They also offer waxing and have a plastic surgeon come in once or twice a week if you're interested in fillers. read more

I had my hair styled and layered here. Everyone was very friendly....the stylist was very competent. Very nice salon.

Ample parking, a variety of services, and prices are a steal: Salon Iaomo has it all. For years I've had committment issues with hair stylists and cuts in general, but I absolutely love the work that Cathy does! With so many different offerings there's something for everyone here, even down to private rooms for hijabi friendly/religiously modest cuts if arranged ahead! Salon Iaomo hits the mark on every quality a salon should have! read more

I have always had very bad OCD about my eyebrows. To the point I would pluck them until I have one thin little line of hairs. I was always insecure about how busy they were. But I have been getting my eyebrows done for over a year now by Lisa at Salon Iaomo and it was one of the best decisions of my life! I was referred to her by friends and the transformation is unbelievable! Lisa knows exactly where to pluck, wax, and trim. And if youre anything like I used to be, she can assist you in growing them back too! Always cleans you up nice, and adds aloe to soothe and keep redness down. 10/10 I would never let anyone else touch my eyebrows ever again! read more

Got a Groupon for a hair cut and baylage. I had Cathy who was very personable showed her photos of what I like and she delivered. Cathy took her time (3 1/2 hours) to make sure my hair was perfect. I absolutely love the result!!! read more

I have always been happy with the service I have gotten at the Salon, If something is not quite right, they fix it right away. Maureen and Roberta and their staff have always been accomodating and friendly, and both me and my husband use their services. If you need to try something new, give them a try and I am sure that you will be happy. read more

How amazing is this salon!!! Everyone is so friendly and attentive! Maureen is amazing if you need a great cut and color!!! If you are looking for an amazing salon, book your next appointment her!!! read more

My experience here has not been good! I did a consult with Maureen then ordered and paid over $500 for hair extensions, grant you my hair is shorter. I showed up too my appointment and Maureen added these too my hair, they were 14 inches long. She had to of course cut them to a shorter length. Well she ended up cutting them way to short, especially on the sides of my hair, I looked like I have a mullet. I called an complained about cutting it too short and it was shorter than when I walked in. I wanted some type of refund due to all the money I paid. I had to go elsewhere and get someone to cut it properly. Maureen told me they don't give refunds, I'm in business and you accommodate the customer. She wanted to add more hair extensions, that's not what I want more extensions, she screwed up and cut way to much hair off, and if she would have given me some type of refund, liked I asked I would have respected that, I wasn't looking for a full refund, but she said NO repeatedly they don't give refunds. Any good business would give some sort of refund to help satisfy the customer, she didn't ! I'll never and would never recommend her. Her hair cutting skills weren't at all what I expected, she should know how to cut hair extensions and give a up to date hair cut! A MULLET! are you kidding me! Not giving me some sort of refund to at least help satisfy me is bad business! I wouldn't recommend this salon for extensions! read more

Sorry to say I was totally disappointed in my cut. I know there was a lot to clean up since I had not had a haircut in a while but the cut was so uneven I have been wearing hats more than usual. The crown was very very short, the front a little longer and the back still a third length. The people could not be any nicer but nice is not enough when I am embarrassed to be out with the cut I was given. I went to IAOMO since I was given a gift certificate for a cut from Brian I found out he had left but the certificate was from my husband and I felt bad not to use it... silly me! Just an FYI, even though there was money left on the gift certificate I threw it away Not going back! read more

Full service hair salon with tanning beds. They do everything from the basic cut to color, highlights, brazilian blowouts, extentions, hair replacement and wigs. Always offer coffe/tea or water while i am waiting for my highlights to set. No pressure for a rebook. Check it out!! read more

Salon Iaomo is a wonderful little salon in Applebee's/Mad Mex plaza in Greentree Rd. I have been going to SI for a few years now and I always leave satisfied. Although they offer many services, tanning, extensions, they even have a wig room, I go for the basics, cut and color. Brian is the best but all of the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable about their craft. From my experience, the pricing is about average for this type of salon. Color and cut will run you 90$. This price has also stayed the same for several years. No recent price increases. If you are looking for a great salon with expert staff, the latest gossip mags and a variety of services, I recommend Salon Iaomo. read more

I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful the staff is here. After a horrible experience with another salon getting extensions I called them and they got me an appointment the next day. Needless to say, after the consultation they put me at ease and said they would fix my hair. After over three hours I walked out with my head held high after walking in in tears. Maureen, Roberta and Jess worked together effortlessly to give me my self esteem back. If you want people who care about you and make you feel like a million bucks call and make an appointment. You won't be disappointed. I guarantee it. I wish I could post a before and after pic because it's unbelievable. Heading back to get my color done in a couple of weeks. . read more

I have been with Salon Iaomo for more than 4 years since I moved to Pittsburgh. I usually go for cut and color so I have not yet tried other services with them. My hair dresser is Jess. I really like her styles and I am always satisfied with my hair. What I like the most here is that Jess is always careful with my hair, picking the right style for my face, skin color and makeup. One time I decided to go for a short hair cut and I have to say that she was very creative and I was extremely impressed! read more

One of the stylists, Linda, went out of her to accommodate a special family member. Without going into details and to protect ones privacy... She made her feel extra special for an amazing event. read more

Went in for a simple haircut. Kathy was my hairdresser. She did not do great.. asked for about 3 inches off, she cut off about 6-7 inches. Didn't put any sort of styling into it, didn't frame my face, barely put in the layers that I requested, and the left side is long than the right as she didn't even bother asking how I parted my hair. And through the entire process, all I could smell was cigs coming off her hands and breath. Would highly not recommend. read more

Awful. Overpriced & inexperienced stylist. My hair was chopped and uneven, the highlights bled. Not worth $180 dollars. The girl had no clue what she was doing. Save your money , go somewhere else. read more

LOVED my experience at salon iaomo! Katherine did an AMAZING job with my balyage highlights... so natural and beautiful! The staff is friendly, and Katherine is very skilled at what she does!! Will definitely be a repeat customer :) read more

I bought a Groupon to try this salon and Katherine did my hair today. She was so nice and made my experience beyond exceptional! She provided me with a very personalized consultation and helped me find a solution for my hair. I highly recommend this salon and will definitely be returning myself. read more

I made appointment for a blow dry the lady is very friendly she wash my hair really good but to blow dry my long hair extension she left my hair humid and the finishing what's Terrible I have to go out to the hotel and finish the work myself if you have extensions or if you have a coarse hair but if you really fussy did not come to this place read more

Jessica did a great job on my hair cut and spent a lot of time with me. She was extremely friendly and we talked the whole time. It is pricey there, but I don't mind it when the staff does a good job. I will be going back. read more

After having a horrible experience at another salon, Julie came to my rescue. I had gotten extensions a few months back, and the girl who installed them did a terrible job. They were falling out, and even after going back to the salon to have them fixed, I continued to have issues with them. After going back twice to have them fixed, the extensions were still coming out. I had so many come out in one area that it caused a large gap in my hair that could only be hidden by pulling my hair back. After having my third appointment to have them fixed cancelled at the last minute, I frantically searched for salons in the area that did tape-in extensions. I called Salon Iaimo, and they were able to squeeze me in that day. Julie did such a great job fixing my extensions. I scheduled an appointment that day to go back and have a full-service appointment (color, cut, full adjustment of the extensions). I can't wait to go back!! read more

Loved my hairstylist - Katherine. Went in and said do what you think will work for me, and I left feeling like a million bucks! Used a groupon (that is how I heard of the salon/it was close to where I live). Will definitely return for future hair appointments. read more

Tried it because it's on groupon & is a deva salon for curly hair. I asked for the split ends to be cut off, about 1" - 2" & she cut off 5"- 6"! They don't explain before purchase that there is a huge difference in price for a cut & a "deva cut". Stylist kept saying "if you were getting a deva cut I'd do this or that." I guess this explains her unpleasantness, not enough money coming in to be nice. If you like being talked down to, having 5-6 inches more than expected cut, & being treated like your curly hair is a rats nest (isn't this a curly hair "deva salon?"), then this place is for you. Hair salons should make you feel good about yourself, the comments from the stylist made me feel unattractive. Gets a star because there is no option for 0 & they gave me a cup of tea. read more

I got my hair done here in March. The place seemed really nice and clean, and everyone was friendly. I can not remember who my hair dresser was, but instead of being in an open room with other clients getting their hair done, she had her own room. I had never had that, so I thought it was cool. She put the TV on for me, and offered me soft drinks outnof the mini frige. The room was very tiny, very very hot and very uncomfortable. I told her what I wanted to do (cut and color), and she kept telling me what she thought would look better. She showed me color samples and we came to an answer. I was doing a shade of a red(I thought)....and she was SO sloppy putting this dye on. I have never had such a careless hair dresser. I had dye on my forehead, alll behind and in my ears, on my neck, my clothes, my cheeks, everywhere. And it was orange, so I was panicking about how the color would turn out, because it was not the color I chose. And instead of wiping it off right away she left it there until after the cut and blowdry. She also added random ugly highlights and did NOT cut it how I wanted. Let's just say in the end, I looked worse than Ginger Spice. What made it worse was I was getting family pictures right after, with dye on my face and trashy hair. I was charged almost $200 for this disgrace. Although the hairdresser was bad, I would be willing to try again with a different one. They all seem very friendly, and they have a LOT of services that not many other salons around here have that I would love to try. read more

I was committed and had researched all I could about getting hair extensions. In my research I came across this salon and decided to visit with some questions I had. The lady seemed nice and she helped me out with my questions (while my mother was with me)! I called later that week to ask about the brand of extensions they buy from and the lady was obnoxious! She told me that she refused to tell me the brand and if I'm paying a grand for my hair ($850 for the extensions and a 20% tip of $170) I want to know what I'm getting! The lady was rude and I was a willing customer. I will never go to this salon again and I recommend not wasting your time.Please share my experience with everyone who has questions about this salon!! read more

I went in with a groupon cut/partial highlight. Well I needed lowlights and (Katherine) said that was ok but needed to pay more money for a full lowlight treatment. No problem, I agreed and paid additional $$. When it was done, the color didn't look different. I mentioned it to her and she said that's because she used 'transparent' color. What? I couldn't really tell in their lighting so When I got home, I noticed she didn't use a darker color, but pretty sure she used toner instead just to take red tones out. Not cool! especially since she charged me more. Then on top of that, she butchered one side of my hair. I went back in for her to fix it and not only did she not remember me 1 week later but said she didn't cut it. Is she kidding me? She DID cut it and even if my hair was like that, wouldn't she have fixed it in the first place? So ridiculous. I was so upset but the owner fixed my hair with extensions to fill in the empty 'gap' and apologized. She was very nice and did a great job with the "repair". If anyone goes to this salon, I would recommend the owner because she was very poite, professional and knows what she's doing. However, I have to leave the rating low for the original stylist. Now I have to go somewhere else to get the color I asked for and have to wait for the cut to grow out. read more

I had a fantastic experience at Salon Iaomo. I was running a little late and they were very accommodating and understanding when I arrived. I was greeted by Patricia who was incredibly friendly and Katherine, my stylist came out immediately to get started. Katherine was AMAZING!!!!! She really knows her art. She talked me out getting the highlights that I wanted because they would be too light for my hair. She pulled out sample hair colors to show me what would happen to my hair as time progressed and I was very appreciative to that. After that moment, I left my hair in her very talented hands! She was very professional, friendly and quick. I have a lot of hair and it is long but she patiently worked through my hair making sure she balayaged the color in to look natural. When it came to washing my hair, Patricia did a fantastic job. Katherine quickly was able to give me the cut that I wanted without me having to say much or watch over her. After my blow dry, I was ecstatic about how my hair turned out!!! Needless to say that I will be going back in the future not only because of the great quality of work and amazing service, but also because of the great work the salon does with hair restoration! I cannot emphasize how fantastic my experience was at Salon Iaomo. read more
