After being unsatisfied with recent haircuts at Sport Clips I was in the market for a new place to…read moreget a hair cut. A friend recommended a small shop in Bethel Park called Contrast Hair and Makeup. She mentioned that the owner and Stylist Rachel was fantastic. Since it was close to home I figured I would give it a shot. I called and made an appointment and got in a few days later. When I got there Rachel was extremely professional and the salon while smaller, was actually quite quaint compared to the big box shops. When I sat down Rachel asked what I was looking for. I told her I have been getting the same cut for 90% of my life and I was considering a change but I wasn't sure where to go. She suggested a modern hairstyle and while I wasn't 100% sure how it was going to look I agreed. She made sure to mention that even if I don't like it we would still be able to go back to my old style with no issues. After she did the cut I was on the fence about it, she told me to give it the weekend and if I still wasn't sure she would fix it no questions asked. So I took it upon myself to ask my friends and family what they thought and they all loved it. On Monday I called Rachel and told her that I really liked it and I was very thankful.

I would give this Zero stars. Having never tried eyebrow waxing at the Benefit brow bar before, I…read morewent to the front counter to check in. It was a busy Saturday. I was directed to the location where the person working there told me she was not going to honor my appointment, as "taking me now would back up the whole day." It was not even 5 minutes past my appointment time. I was not late, just waited needlessly in the check out line. The worker told me to leave! Outrageous and highly unprofessional. I will not be giving Benefit or that store any of my money ever. Be warned, this is not a suitable alternative to a traditional salon. Service is nonexistent.

I've been to 3 Benefit brow bars at Ulta (Ross park, Settlers Ridge, and now South Hills Village)…read more I love how at all locations they draw your brows out before they start so you can approve the shape, I just recently moved near South Hills Village so I figured I'd give this location a shot. The girl that did my brows drew them out then started to wax. I noticed the wax was a little hotter than I'm used to, but it wasnt to the point that it was painful so I didn't say anything. When she was done she put some kind of oil and aloe gel all over, then put make up all over the area she waxed. I gently cleaned it all off before bed then the next morning I woke up with red blotches all over the waxed area. I'd been waxed with the same wax type at the other locations before so it couldn't have been a reaction to the wax. She either had the wax too hot and burnt me, or the pound of makeup on the waxed area caused a reaction. It took over a week for it to clear up and it was impossible to cover. Really upset and will not even walk foot in this location again.

I was pretty desperate for a hair cut and far from my usual salon. Emily made the time to cut my…read morehair. She pointed out that my bi-level cut was uneven and choppy. She blended the length and it turned out beautifully. She is a pro, good listener and great problem solver. I will be back!

3.5 stars. Sephora is a retail-store chain that sells designer, name-brand, and store-brand beauty…read moreproducts. This particular store is in South Hills Village mall. This store sells makeup (concealer, foundation, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadow, mascara, lip gloss, applicators, etc.), skincare (cleansers, moisturizers, acne treatments, eye creams, sunscreens, etc.), hair products (shampoos, conditioners, styling products, combs, brushes, accessories etc.), fragrances, and much more. Prices for products are moderate to high. I have occasionally shopped at this store across most categories of products, but more in the past than recently. I prefer to purchase other brands of products from competing stores. Comparatively, I think that the products at Sephora have a similar to lower quality than lower-priced products elsewhere.

I was greeted as soon as I arrived and asked if I needed any help. Great customer service!…read more She walked me over to what I was looking for and helped me with any questions that I had. I swear I smelled every perfume there and the employee was patient as I did. The store itself is nice and clean with good inventory. I decided on the Mon Paris by YSL.
