If you have been searching for a hairstylist that just gets you and understands what you want, look no further! Nichole is absolutely amazing and very informative and knowledgeable about her practice. I couldn’t recommend this place enough to anyone.

This was my first French hair cutting experience and what a difference. Nicole took the time to explain the process, it was totally guided by my desires and I left with a stunning cut

I’ve been going to Nichole for about two years since moving to Pittsburgh. My favorite thing about her is her passion for her craft and the way she educates on techniques and healthy practices while you’re sitting in her chair. Nichole is so intentional about her work and is super knowledgeable. She listens to what you’re aiming for, offers great advice, and works with you to achieve a successful end result that is beautiful and natural looking. The salon’s energy is peaceful, clean, friendly, and welcoming. Nichole and Jessica are so fun to be around. You’ll love it there!
