I have been a client of Shawn's for almost 10 years. My hair always looks so amazing and is healthy because Shawn takes his time and cares about his clients. Sognatore is absolutely the best Salon in the city and the owners are nice people. If you are looking for that elevated experience and want beautiful hair, I highly recommend Sognatore!! read more

Bill's haircuts are always amazing. No worries about how the hair will grow out. Which means fewer haircuts! I strongly recommend. read more

For my best friends wedding, which I was officiating, I had an appointment to have my hair and make up done at Sognatore. Located inside the historic Pennsylvanian, it was nice having the appointment so close to our hotel where we were staying and at the same place as the wedding venue. For my make up, Nikki did a tremendous job and was very attentive to my concerns. I don't usually wear a lot of make up so I was thankful that she appreciated and reflected that in her work. For my hair, since I knew how windy it was going to be on the day of the wedding at the venue, I was thankful that the stylist was able to replicate a low, loose bun with enough structure and support to withstand the windy weather. All in all, I was very pleased with the customer service and quality. read more

Walked in a little dull looking. Not terrible, but in need of a little pick me up. Amazing what a difference a pretty hair shade can do. Laurie tweaked it a little from the last visit, just for a small change. Even my husband noticed when I walked in how nice it was. Feeling great about it. Plus my hair is nicer to the touch. Love it. read more

What a wonderful experience all around. If you're looking for the best salon ever, this is the place!

I've been coming to Sognatore for maybe about five years now and it is the best salon! Lauri is AMAZING! She does a wonderful job with my thick, wavy hair and always gives me the best color. Even had her do my hair for my wedding day. I recommend Sognatore to anyone looking for a salon in the Pittsburgh area. read more

Shawn eased my anxieties and was professional as well as personable. I love my cut and hope to have found my permanent hair salon/stylist. Location is accessible and salon has a great vibe to it. Also, the receptionist Zoe was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I look forward to my next cut. read more

Expert color and cuts. Experienced and talented artists. Always leave felling so beautiful.

I was in town for a conference and desperately needed a haircut. Based on the Yelp reviews, I booked a haircut appointment with Jennie and just loved her. She's a very talented, skilled stylist - especially with my thin, fine hair - and gave me a great cut. She's also a delight to talk to! The salon itself is beautiful, in a gorgeous old building. I highly recommend this salon!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience. The staff was very helpful at fitting me in. Shawn is a a master stylist. He has a very good eye for what coloring and style works for me. I have gone to him several times and I'm always very pleased with the results. read more

I have been going to Jennie at Sognatore for years now and boy has she transformed my hair from blah brown to a beautiful blonde with amazing highlights! Every time I go I am so pleased with the results not to mention the great conversation! Everyone who works there like Zoey at the front desk (sweetheart) & the owner Bill are so likeable! Can't forget Jackie either! ;) I can't wait to check out their new place in Shadyside as soon as it opens! read more

Sognatore - Pens Game right after my hair was done :) - Hair Salons Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I hadn't had my hair cut in almost two years and I suddenly got to the point where I couldn't stand it anymore. I had family pictures that week so I tried to find someplace that would fit into my schedule. Sognatore was recommended to me, so I was happy to hear they were able to fit me in. When I entered the salon, I was immediately greeted and offered a drink (I took iced tea). I liked the prompt service, but then was stuck waiting for my appointment to start. I was on a lunch break and had limited time, so once it was 15 minutes past my appointment time, I asked if there was anything they could do to get things going. Thankfully they were able to have someone else shampoo me while my stylist was finishing up. The stylist took the time to hear what I wanted and give her thoughts and suggestions. I really appreciated that because I'm fairly clueless when it comes to beauty related things. While getting my hair done I had a gorgeous view of the city. I loved my hair and how it turned out and, overall, was very pleased with my experience. read more

Excellent salon service and friendly employees! Everyone is very professional and skilled. Close to The Strip District, too!

I started going to Jennie 6 years ago when I moved to Pittsburgh. I would never go to anyone but her...even after moving 40 minutes from the city. She has cut my hair from pixie length to long...and every time I leave feeling amazed. Then the compliments on my cut I'll receive the weeks after she cuts it just further confirm her talent. In addition to her profession, she also is a great person to have a conversation with. I feel lucky to have found Jennie and Sognatore!!! read more

This salon came as a recommendation from a friend of mine, specifically hair stylist, Jennie. My friend knew I liked my previous salon, but didn't love some of the techniques. Hair stylists break-ups can be hard, but I am so happy I made the move! My first appointment with Jennie set the tone for what was to come. I was greeted right away, asked if I needed anything to drink, given a robe, and got into the chair. Instead of standing behind me, Jennie sat in front of me to talk about my hair, what I wanted, now and long term, and made sure to ask additional questions to make sure she understood what I was asking for and liked. I constantly get compliments on my hair and it has given me such a confidence I didn't know I needed. Jennie has great energy and the conversation is always positive and flows through the whole appointment. Would 10/10 recommend Sognatore!! read more

Got my hair styled for graduation. The staff was extremely friendly and the salon was beautiful. They were able to fit me in for a last-minute appointment. Reasonably priced for the service they provide, highly recommend! read more

I am obsessed with this salon! I moved to Pittsburgh after living in Boston for 11 years! I had tried many stylists in Boston and worked with the best (and I'm extremely picky!). Sognatore exceeds it all. You must must must work with Lauri!!! She is a coloring genius. Perfect mix of up to date technique and style while looking completely subtle and natural. I have never been so happy with my color and cut! If I was ever forced to move from Pittsburgh there is no doubt I would fly back just to get my hair done by Laurie. So so happy with my results (plus she's super fun!!!). read more

Meh. I'm a guy, I've got a short haircut. Nothing fancy -- short on the sides and back, an inch on top. Pretty easy in MY opinion. The stylist "didn't do" clipper cuts, even though that's what I requested for the sides -- it's really the only way to get the sides short. Instead she went with scissors and a comb. Took 3x longer, and the result was a mess....a big strip of hair down the back that was probably twice the length of the sides. The top wasn't even and was kind of a mess. I won't be back. read more

Absolutely outstanding experience!! I went to nearly every salon in the downtown area searching for a stylist that would color my hair red. Every stylist would inevitably refuse to do it because red was "too unpredictable." Dejected, I was debating on going back to my last salon where I had less than a positive experience or trying this place based on a male friend's recommendation. I was hesitant, knowing that men and women's hair were different. I wanted much more than a $26 trim and the relationship a woman has with her stylist is quite personal. Jennie got me in her chair and told me she'd not only color my hair red but was really excited about doing it!! She needed minimal direction and gave me the edgy cut I wanted in record time (I was in and out in less than 2hrs). She was upbeat, perky and really a great person to be around. My hair looks fantastic and I started getting compliments from other women getting their hair done before I even left the salon. At $145, it was the most I've ever spent for a cut and color (pretip) and I've been getting it colored professionally for a while. But honestly, for the entire experience, it was well worth it. Jennie knows what she's doing with color, products, a straight razor and shows a great knowledge of current styles. If you're looking for a new salon, I would absolutely recommend this location. The staff was very friendly and chatty and offered tea, water, wine or coffee. Nothing but positive experiences to be had here! Oh and a GREAT perk: you can book your appointment online anytime. I work nights right now and 2am was the only spare time I had to book. It was so easy! While I believe they take walk ins, I would definitely recommend booking a consultation first since its so easy to do it from their website. read more

I needed a last minute trim before a meeting while in the road, and the receptionist was very kind and provided excellent customer service, and she was able to get me in to see a very professional, talented and friendly stylist! Highly recommend! read more

I think my impression of Sognatore started even before I walked in the door. When I first called the salon to make an appointment, the woman bent over backwards to get my schedule to fit me in anywhere possible. We scheduled for the following week, but then immediately called back to schedule me for the following day. The only negative thing I have to say about this place is that the parking lot is SUPER confusing. I went up the wrong side of the road, then went down to the lease only parking, then had to back up and finally park. That being said, it won't detract from my opinion. I've been going to various salons in the Pittsburgh area, and have never found one that I've fallen in love with until now. Laurie did WONDERS on my hair! I told her my concerns and even went in to cut in bangs in my hair, for the first time since I was a child... She knocked it out of the park! I recommend this salon to anyone, they really take care of you here! read more

I really love this place. I'm sure I'll update as I continue my patronage, but I'm so happy with Sognatore. First of all, I was roughly an hour late to my scheduled appointment, which I was able to book online. I love being able to book online and having a good idea of the prices, which Sognatore offers. Unfortunately Sognatore is located within the Pennsylvanian. I had never been to the Pennsylvanian and the parking was confusing to say the least. I went around and around the building to no avail. It really didn't help that there was a Chainsmokers concert and a Pirates game all going on around the same time. So if you read my review, you have to park in front of the Pennsylvanian by entering the lot through a sign that says "Buses Only". Don't worry I'm pretty sure the sign is just a deterrent for the general traffic. Sognatore is also on the 10th floor. So after driving around for an hour, you'd think I'd have a pretty negative review, but that's just the point! The actual salon is great enough that the hassle was worthwhile, plus I now know that my future trips won't have the same issues. My stylist was willing to almost completely revamp my hair. The shampoo, conditioner, and other products they used were all top notch and felt wonderful. I went in completely unhappy with my overly long hair and my stylist was actually willing to cut a significant amount off. By no means were they scissor happy, they just very clearly were interested in making me happy and I was! I felt like my stylist took time to make me feel comfortable, they completely took away the stress I had in struggling to find the place, they took time to really understood what issues I was having and what I wanted, and they really took their time to deliver amazing results. I'm really happy and will definitely go back for any hair service. read more

The owner Bill fried my hair and totally screwed up my haircut. He's awful. The staff is afraid of him. Pretentious with nothing to back it up. Lots of other and better places to go. Try Izzazu instead. read more

I was staying at the Pennsylvanian in Pittsburgh for a business trip, so it pleased me that there was a place for me to get a haircut in the same building. Jeanie did a great job on my hair. She offered me a robe, so that my hair would not devour my clothes. My stylist took time to cut my hair the way I wanted it and I could not be happier with the end result. The view from my chair outlooking the window was a sight to behold. The cleanliness of a salon is high on my list of priorities and Sognatore passed that test. The price for a men's haircut is $26, so it is rather steep for some. Sognatore is closed Sunday & Monday. I would also recommend making a reservation. read more

All of the staff was very friendly and genuine. Sean was my stylist and he did an amazing job. I showed him a picture of what I was looking for and he made it happen. He was happy to walk me through every step and ask what I wanted or if I was happy with it before moving forward. He even made some suggestions for the future but was not pushy at all! He showed me all the tricks he used to style my hair and explained it in very easy to understand terms. All the while he was doing my hair he was talking to me like we were old friends. This place makes you feel as if you've been going there for years even when it's your first time. It is now my go to salon! read more

Jennie has done an amazing job with my hair!!Her cuts are amazing, they grow in beautifully. Her first time touching my color she nailed it and got it exactly to what I wanted. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. Good stylists are hard to find- I'd give more than 5 stars if I could! read more
