I've been going to Briana's Jewel since I moved to the area 9 years ago. How did I find them? A…read moregirl I worked with had a fantastic cut and color-I asked who did her hair and the rest is history. The shop is located in the breezeway in the Duquesne Village shopping center. It is a family run business. Julie is the stylist that I use and she is great. So are Briana and Angie so your choice between any will be a good one. Prices are very reasonable with monthly specials to showcase their different techniques. Cut, color, (men and women) and waxing available with and soon to be expansion into facials, spray tan and make up. They do birthday parties for little ones and also bridal parties in-house or on site. Walk-ins are available, but they have a solid client base so I would call for an appointment. If you're looking for a new stylist with a fresh vibe that will leave you looking amazing, stop in this local gem!

Giving 1 star because as a long time customer, first time going for color, I was left shocked and…read moreinsulted. I prepared ahead of time, had a babysitter come, left work early, and came with photos. Right off the bat, Sierra seemed annoyed speaking with a coworker. I showed her my pictures of inspo, that did not seem to help. I repeated that I was looking for "sun-kissed" natural looking balayage to add dimension (something we had discussed in a previous session.) I told her that I trusted her, whether it be full or partial balayage (whatever it's called in this context). When I spoke, it seemed that we both repeated ourselves and the communication wasn't making sense, because the photos of the women had middle parts and no bangs. I said I was just using the photos for the color, I didn't have an exact photo of my hair cut and color. We kept repeating ourselves and I did not understand where the disconnect was, so I asked if it would be helpful if we brought another stylist over to help both of us understand what the other person wasn't understanding. She seemed offended by that, and didn't ask anyone else to see what the issue was that was unable to be understood. I said I trusted her, just use the photos as guide, just not as blonde as the highlights in the right but I like the placement of both. We spoke for a good 15 minutes it seemed like before she said "ok, I think I got it, I'll go mix up your color." When she walked away I did not understand why she was saying "I do all my consultations like this", acting like I was coming at her? I never raised my voice, I repeated that I trusted her, used no foul language, like I genuinely didn't understand what the issue was. 10 minutes later, she comes back in a completely different demeanor and was like "I don't feel comfortable doing your hair. It felt like we were arguing." And I thought to myself, "is she serious right now?" I can understand someone being sensitive, I am sensitive myself, but we were most certainly not arguing. So without making a scene, I picked up my stuff, and walked out of the salon in shock. I didn't feel like what had happened to me was right. I called the salon after I left and asked to speak to the Salon manager Melissa. She answered and said a whole spiel of the salon industry and how stylists can refuse service if they don't feel comfortable. She seemed annoyed, because as she was speaking she halfway said "hold on, let me finish" when I wasn't speaking at all- I had just been listening to her. I told her I understand that, but I didn't do anything. She said that the photos I provided to sierra were "wildly different", and she couldn't color my hair because she didn't feel comfortable. So what does Yelp think? Do you think these photos are unreasonable requests, and look wildly different? I have recommended Swank to friends and family in the past, but I will make sure to notify them of this absolutely horrific encounter from a mother who simply wanted some "me" time and to look summer ready. I'm astounded.

My stylist did a great job. The problem is that they are forced to use their own private label products. All the curl went out of my hair by the time my uber got me home. I tried re curling it but the glue they called hairspray was too heavy and just weighed it all down. So I tried brushing it straight. It looked more like clumps of straw.

I was looking for a long time for a hair stylist I could call my own. I was recommended to this…read moresalon, but was hesitant to go. I had been to Philip Pelusi before and I wasn't wild about the service. I was also concerned about cost. In addition, I had not had much luck with hair stylists so I was unsure. As it turned out, Philip Pelusi ended up being less expensive than the other hair stylist I was going to and that place was not as high end as Philip Pelusi. The service I received was excellent. I saw Shannon and I am happy to say that I have found my hair stylist. I had been trying to go blonder for a while. I had two different stylists make me a brown, brassy blonde and another stylist thought I looked better darker. So after much past frustration, I was elated when Shannon actually WORKED with me. She listened to my concerns and wants for my hair and came up with a plan. Not only did she make me lighter but she discussed my options if I wanted to go lighter beyond that. She also suggested getting some length off due to the color variation in my ends due to past hair colors I had. I never thought of getting length off, but I am so glad she made the suggestion, I love it!!! For the first time ever, I felt like I received the true hair salon treatment. We discussed what I wanted to do and then I was consulted for a decent period of time on my options. I would definitely reccommend giving them a try, great service for a reasonable price!!! Plus they have long hours, which makes it very convient in this busy busy world.
