Salon Ivy

I had a very positive experience from start to finish. It was very easy to schedule an appointment and there is a parking lot right next door. My appointment was with Amber, she was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. The service I had was a haircut which comes with wash, dry, and flat iron for only $ 45. I recommend this salon.

After spending $ 170 dollars at Destefino salon on a balayage that looked horrible, I was so upset. I walked into salon ivy after seeing it on my way home. They were so friendly and amazing and they gave me an appointment the very next day. I love Meghan. She is amazing!!! She gave me exactly what I wanted. It couldn’t be more perfect. I love this salon so much and wouldn’t go to anyone else now. I’m so happy I finally found where I can go from now on. Book with Meghan she is beyond amazing!

Yesterday, I discovered my new hair hero, and her name is Amber of Salon Ivy. This young pro rescued my limp, thin hair from a summer of smothering wigs and style-​less hats. She gave me the exact hairstyle that I was looking for… a short and sexy easy to maintain pixie cut. Plus… I was in and out in about an hour! WHAT! Kudos, Amber, you made my day.
Salon Ivy is a versatile salon with a cool, comfortable and professional atmosphere and conveniently located on Carson. Great if you’re preparing for a night on the town like I was. I’m impressed. Already made my next appointment.

I’m new to the area and my best friend did a search for a salon that did ethnic hair and found Salon Ivy. I emailed and got a response, booking me for the 19^th of March. I called to confirm because being new I didn’t know what to expect. To be honest the person I spoke to was rather rude. Of course I’m Southern and just chalked it up to northern vernacular. I almost canceled my appointment, but I was informed that Amber would be doing my hair and not the person who answered, so I kept the appointment. I’m so happy I did. Amber is a delight! She does all ethnicities (which I love). She was very professional pleasant and very sweet. I have no doubt I have found a new stylist. She was quick and I made an appointment for another time. I would recommend Amber from personal experience. You won’t be disappointed !

I’m pretty picky about my hair and have had my fair share of bad hair experiences. Salon ivy was great, they didn’t do exactly what I wanted, I think she just missed what I said or didn’t hear me. Im not sure, but I ended up being extremely happy w the way it turned out. She felt bad she had missed what i said so she said I could come back another day so she could fix it right up for no charge! But I decided not to because I ended up being so happy w my hair the way it was, she gave my a lot of helpful tips about hair care and how I should get it done. Also they sent me a five dollar off for my next appt. in then mail!!! Very pleased and will be getting my hair done there from now on.

Absolutely LOVE this place! Chelsea worked wonders on my hair and now I’m a lifetime customer. She and Amber started the salon and are very professional as well as down to earth. They have trained all the stylists to be proficient with ALL types of hair, ethic or not. The prices are very reasonable for the value and service you receive. If it’s not obvious enough by now, I highly recommend this salon!

I am a person who has had great experiences with stylists and salons all over the United States from Arizona to Florida to DC to Chicago to Pittsburgh.
When I moved back to Pittsburgh, I went on a search to find the perfect place to have my hair done.
Unilocal turned me on to Salon Ivy in the Southside. Salon Ivy is a lovely salon. I love the décor and the huge mirrors in front of every client so you can see what the stylist is doing. There is a broad diversity of stylists and clients. I absolutely adore Salon Ivy and all of the stylists, especially Amber. I have a standing appointment every week with Amber and she is talented, thoughtful, and extremely helpful. My hair has never looked better. It literally sparkles. She is amazing, is always on time and it never takes more than an hour to make my hair look and feel shiny and wonderful. The cut that she gave me is perfect and as my millennial daughter says, it is edgy and trendy. They serve men and woman and are great with all hair types. They also have a lot of different services available. The prices are right too! Off street metered parking is located next door and I have never had a hard time finding a parking space. You can’t go wrong visiting Salon Ivy for services.

This salon is absolutely wonderful. When I called they were pleasant and booked me for an appointment fairly quickly. I had my hair done by Amber who is awesome. She did a wonderful job, and my hair has never looked this good! I now consider this my go to salon after only one appointment.

I love this place — it’s kind of a hole in the wall, cozy kind of salon, and any excuse to head out to the South Side is a good one. My hairdresser at MCN stopped working after my first cut with her, so I wasn’t too excited to go looking for another hairdresser so soon, but I was really lucky in finding Salon Ivy and I’ve been a client of Shannon’s ever since.
Shannon is a great listener and answers any questions you might have about hair styling. I brought in a photo spread from Vogue and she was able to do the cut and color perfectly! She is also a lot of fun to talk to and completely professional. You’ll get a great cut at a reasonable price here at Salon Ivy, and I highly recommend Shannon if you have thin, straight hair like mine.

I just had my first experience at this salon and I loved it. Very cute salon with professional staff. I will absolutely be going back!

I am so sad that I’m about to leave Pittsburgh and I finally found a nice, professional salon that does black (African) hair with stylists that I can apparently trust! I got highlights and twists done by Carmen today and she did an awesome job. She was easy to talk to, gentle with my hair, and very knowledgeable about how I should take care of my natural hair. I left feeling like I had been right to trust her with my very first color ever.
The only reason this doesn’t get a 5-​star is the fact that I got charged an additional $ 40 for a «haircut», which apparently my trim was, in addition to the cost of my highlights and twists ($ 100). I have never had to pay $ 40 for a trim. I badly needed them though, so I don’t regret getting them. I will be going back hopefully to Carmen for more twists but will be taking care of my split ends at home :-)

I had to sit down and write a review as soon as I got home, because I am just so happy that I found this place. I have long, thick, 3c curly, multi-​ethnic (Black + Latin American) hair, and after 30+ years on this Earth, I’ve learned that I can’t entrust it to just anybody. I had recently re-​located back to Pittsburgh after several years away and my old hair stylist is no longer in the area, so I fretted for months before finally doing a lot of research and finding Salon Ivy. I went to their website and filled out an appointment request form, and they got back to me very quickly with available times. Easy peasy. Chelsea gave me a wash/​condition, blow-​dry and flat iron, plus a trim, and I walked out of there just over an hour later feeling like a new woman. It takes most other hairdressers far longer, like upwards of 1.5−2 hours to do what she did!
I also found the price to be extremely reasonable (I believe my exact words were, «That’s IT?!» when the receptionist told me the total.), and I made my next appointment right then and there.
Not only that, but the salon space is beautifully, tastefully done. Very open and inviting, and right in the thick of all the action on East Carson Street. I look forward to my next visit.

Quick update. Another nail has peeled, so I’ll be removing the rest tonight. My $ 35+ manicure lasted 4−½ days.

HOORAY! I have a new hair salon!
After reading a hundred or so Unilocal!reviews on the various salons in the Pittsburgh area, I came across Salon Ivy’s living social deal and snatched it up. Full of split ends from six months of abuse and neglect, I made my way to south side for a little TLC.
Sarah greeted me shortly after my arrival and asked what I wanted to do with my hair. I showed her a few pictures of my «hair idols» and she understood what I was looking for immediately – flowy hair with lots of body. We chatted for the entire hour I was there about boys, driving in snow, traveling, you name it. Haircuts are boring and awkward without someone fun to talk to, which was exactly the quality I’d been looking for since leaving Austin and my beloved stylist at Hearts & Robots behind.
I will be back! Thank you, Salon Ivy!

I love Salon Ivy. All the stylists are very nice and know what they’re doing. I see Shannon. She always makes my hair look exactly how I wanted it too… plus it hardly hurts whens he waxes your eyebrows!
The salon itself is really gorgeous. The mirrors are big and it’s a very open space. It’s never super crowded and the stylists are never rushed. If you need a haircut you should go here!

I absolutely LOVE Salon Ivy. The stylists are all so nice and are very skilled. I usually come in with a couple pictures and a vague idea in my mind and they cut and style my hair beautifully. I highly recommend this salon.

This is best salon that I’ve been to, it’s great, it’s fast and everyone was incredibly nice. Chelsea is the best stylist I’ve had, she’s worked wonders with my hair. Salon Ivy caters to everyone and I mean everyone. I’ve finally, found a nice salon that has someone that actually knows how to work with and understands «black hair». Overall, the salon is great.

I selfishly want to keep to this salon a secret but I won’t. The place is amazing. First, I love the incredibly diverse population it serves. Secondly, my stylist Chelsea actually listened and did what I asked her to do. I got one of the best hair cuts ever from her. She is incredibly fast compared to other salons I’ve been to (for black girls who know what it’s like to be at the salon for hours on end, you need to try this place. I was in and out in 45 minutes). I highly recommend this place.

Hot new spot on the Southside to get your hair all done up… Talented ladies with great personalities, you won’t regret your experience here!
