Yelp recommended that I place it here. Are you looking for a one of a kind gift/experience? Look no further than the House of Handsome's Galimard experience. It is a 2 hour experience. We sniffed 127 (not a typo) scents. Michael (owner & Galimard graduate) walked us through the brand's history, his education, how perfume reacts with our bodies, and let us develop our signature scents. I have to wait two (2) weeks for the perfume to mesh/settle. I will be sniffing my Base, Middle, and Top teasers. I found the website not user-friendly. The phone menu refers the customers to the website. Our perfumes are now on file ... so if we run out, Michael can recreate our final products. We got great street parking.

This is the 3rd location for the healthy alternatives soap and bath shop. I got to meet with the…read moreowner Bruce to learn what they mean by "vegan" when it comes to bath products. He explained to me that most bar soaps contain sodium tallowate and sodium lardate. These ingredients are made up of beef and pork respectively. When used to lather your skin these things penetrate through your skin and into your body. Their soaps are either "vegan" or "vegetarian" since they don't contain those ingredients and are more beneficial to your skin. Their vegan soaps come packaged in a tan box while their vegetarian soaps come packaged in a white box. Soaps are all homemade and you can tell by not only feeling the bars but also smelling them. The scents vary and of course they have unscented ones as well. The soaps have whimsical names associated with them that are derivatives of books, shows, famous names, Shakespeare, and others. In addition to bath soaps, he sells facial soaps, shampoo soaps, creams, bath bombs, gift sets, and soap accessories such as a soap rest. He also has T shirts and other interesting things. They have a "buy two we donate one" program where with every purchase tallied during the month, they send half of that amount in the form of soap to various charities and domestic shelters. It's wonderful to know that my purchase is going to a great cause. I ended up purchasing 2 bath soaps and 1 facial soap. My bath soaps were Kali's conundrum - a peppermint, orange, patchouli soap, Pittsburgh Pride- a peppermint, orange soap and the facial soap was the last midnight- a tea tree, lavender, active charcoal soup. Got a soap holder and a couple of soap washcloths to go with it. I noticed he was selling cards at the checkout area. These are supplied by other vendors in addition to their artwork on the wall for sale. They are worth checking out. This location is centrally located on the lower level of the mall of Robinson just behind Starbuck's coffee. Free mall parking is available. I was very impressed with my visit and am looking forward to returning here soon!

Amazing soap. Good prices.

I'm going to come clean now (literally, because Lush sells amazing soaps) about my downright…read moreobsession with Lush. Everything about this place is wonderful, and most of all I love that Lush as a company is conscious about plastic waste and looking out for the environment. Spending my money at a place that cares about their ecological footprint is important to me, so sometimes that's how I justify spending more than I probably should here! The story begins back when I came across a video online of a nifty shampoo bar as a replacement for the traditional shampoo that comes in a thick plastic bottle. It just so happened that Lush was the creator of these shampoo bars, and I had to order one to try it myself. Ever since then I've been hooked, and Lush shampoo bars are probably among my favorite products of theirs. They are to the left when you walk in at the South Hills location, and I'm sure if you have trouble finding them one of the sales associates would be more than happy to help you! Each bar has lasted me nearly 2 months, and I have thick hair that I wash every other day. For around $12 you can't beat it. Aside from the shampoo bars, Lush's Dream Cream is phenomenal. Regular pricing is $29.95 for an 8.4 ounce container, but I promise it's worth every penny! During one trip to stock up on shampoo bars the sales associate gave me several samples of lotions, soaps, and a small chunk of their natural deodorant. I haven't tried the natural deodorant yet, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Every experience I've had here has been a good one, and the employees are always friendly and willing to help explain a product to you or give you a recommendation. I love coming here, and I'll be a returning customer to this store as long as it exists! Definitely give Lush a shot if you like great service and great products!
