I've lived in Pittsburgh for +/- 5 years and in that time I've tried no less than 20 salons in the…read morearea. I've gone to the super fancy ones. I've gone to the one-lady-who-has-her-own-shop salons. I've gone to salons that my friends have highly recommended. But I never found "the one." As most ladies know, finding a good stylist is like finding a good mate -- it's all about the "fit." Someone who is a good stylist for one person may not be a good match for someone else. Well, I think my search might finally be over! I found this place on a total whim as I was searching online for Aveda salons to try (I like Aveda color best, even though I hadn't been to an Aveda salon in awhile). Planet Chi came up in my search, and even though it was in a town I had never heard of (Lower Burrell), I decided, why not? It's a bit of a jaunt to get here (for me anyway), somewhat far away from the city, which wasn't super convenient. But I'm willing to drive for a good stylist! The salon itself wasn't easy to find -- there are no signs from the road or anything to indicate that you're in the right place. After driving around confused for about 10 minutes, I finally had to call and have them help me find it (for the record, the salon is in the back of the plaza with the Fox's pizza...you have to drive around back, and you'll find them all the way at the end). The salon itself is fairly small (3 chairs), but has a warm, friendly vibe. Very clean and modern, but it's not in any way pretentious (nothing makes me more uncomfortable than salons that try to make me feel like I'm in some snooty salon in NYC or Paris or something....call me crazy, but I just want to feel like I'm getting my hair done at a nice place in Pittsburgh). Anyhow, so Tara was my stylist, and she was fantastic. They start off all services with a mini shoulder massage. It only lasts for a minute or two, but what a nice relaxing way to kick things off! Armed with pictures, I showed Tara how I wanted my hair to look, and she explained everything that she would need to do in order to achieve what I wanted. I had some brown hair dye in my hair (leftover from a disastrous visit to another salon a few months prior), so she basically had to do a mini corrective color to get it back to the golden blonde color I wanted. It was like a 5 step process, but she was really patient and took the time to do it right. The end result was great -- my color and cut were exactly what I had asked for. Finally, someone who listened to what I wanted and had the skills to deliver! When my hair was done, I felt like a million bucks, and I was worried that it would cost me that much considering everything she had done to my hair. But to my surprise, the price wasn't too bad. It wasn't cheap, but it was less than salons in the city charge. Considering they use Aveda color, I think the prices are fairly reasonable. In the words of the Terminator...I'll be back!

I often have mixed feelings about some services. This is one of them. I've stopped in at different…read moretimes over a few years, often in November, since they offer free haircuts on Veteran's Day. I am often disappointed, since they seem unprepared for a busy day. Many times there are just a few people working there, and they had to stop each time a new customer entered, to greet them and sign them in. This time was different. There were 6, and it could have been 7, people stationed at the chairs. There was an assistant signing people in and sweeping up between customers. This was the very first time I saw the place running at peak efficiency and it was a welcome sight. I was told that it would probably be 11 minutes until they got to me, a far cry from the hour or more I had experienced previously. I can't say what the exact time was, but I was probably in and out in less that 30 minutes. The previous guy had screwed up my hair, leaving a whole section uncut. When it grew out, one side was excessively long while the other was short. The stylist explained to me that it had been combed over rather than cut. She fixed it efficiently and quickly. A buzz of satisfaction surged through the place. It was a very good experience.

Dawn did not listen to anything I had told her not to do, she just ignored all of my requests. I told her I was very sensitive headed and she SCRUBBED my head with her nails (you're NEVER suppose to wash any hair with nails), I could feel my hair getting ripped out from all over but mostly from the back of my neck I could feel it rip out from the root. I than sat up and told her NOT to put the towel in my hair which she then said "I do this all the time you are fine" and still tried to dry my hair with the towel (towel drying creates frizziness, breakage, and fragility)!!! We then get to the chair and I told her I absolutely do NOT brush or comb my hair while it's wet because it will rip out (hair is in its weakest state while wet, not supposed to brush while wet) and once again, she did whatever SHE wanted to do. she ripped through my hair with a comb and I had to keep telling her to stop. She also kept blow drying my hair with very hot air and I kept telling her it way too hot but she would only turn it cold for one minute and then it was back to burning my scalp that she had just scratched up in the wash bowl. I literally did all I possibly could by telling her and she just did whatever she wanted to do, I can't believe she just took advantage of me like that! I GET TREATED BETTER AT A GREAT CLIPS!!!!! I'm so angry and I wish I didn't go to this appointment at all!!!

I've had many hack jobs and I waited almost a year to get my hair cut due to being butchered the last time. I took time to grow back my Bouncy Locks and I searched for a place near by that appeared to have experience. There was one tricky spot in my hair that was hacked pretty badly. Amanda was able to smooth out and blend the problem spot without taking off a lot of length. I can get my fingers through my hair and that's plenty success for me. I will be back not only for hair care in the future but for a massage and product recommendations. The owner Danielle was funny and light hearted. All the ladies have a fun personality and I really love their work!

One of the wonderful ladies that cut my sons hair was Ali, she was amazing with him and his hair. Talked to him like a human and not a baby, which I much appreciated.

My little guy beamed the whole time he was in the chair. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and not just giving him a basic cut! We also had a wonderful experience with another worker there who cut my other toddlers hair. He is a bit finicky with capes and is quite young, but she had amIng patience with him. His hair looks fantastic, I also think this is the best cut he has received. It was very clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend them!
