Salon Vivace

by stacymuner

I have been going to Salon Vivace for a little over 4 years. I live in Forest hills and drive all the way to the North Hills, I love it there. I found the best stylist, Mandy has been putting up with me for all this time and she never lets me down. She is always so patient and willing to work around your schedule and needs. I recommend her to anyone that maybe looking for a new salon. They have also opened a new day spa next door and you won't be dissapointed! When you are done with your pampering you can visit Ross Mark Mall and also Bravo right down the hill!!!

• Pros: Pleasant Staff
• Cons: Under construction

Professional and Talented Stylist

by lisapunk

Recently I visited Randal at Salon Vivace in the North Hills based on a recommendation from a friend. What a find! Randal is a very polite and professional stylist. He gave me a haircut I loved, even with putting the pressure on him that he was the third stylist I was trying, because I felt none of the other stylist listened to me. Also, he did an excellent job of making me feel appreciated including sending me a follow-up mailing expressing his pleasure in meeting me. The service is great, but the salon seems a little run down.

• Pros: stylist
• Cons: atmosphere, salon appearance

Best Hair Dresser EVER

by cpeindl

I am a former hairdresser. I have longed for nearly 4 years (since I've been out of the business) to find a nice man or woman that would give me a fabulous cut. I think I have been to every salon in Pittsburgh, and have left disappointed every single time. MANDY @ Salon Vivace gave me the best cut that I have ever had. Everything about it was perfect: it was easy to style, edgy, young, hip, timeless, and I could go longer than the 6wks that is recommended b/c of how precisely it was cut. My very thick hair was dried completely and styled, where most places barely dried it at all. They always complained about it's thickness.

The salon itself looked a bit outdated, but all the workers were hip and clearly educated. The only downfall I would say is that the credit card machine cannot be used to add a tip, so make sure that you bring cash for a tip!

• Pros: Talent, Products, Skill Level, Ease of getting an appointment
• Cons: Weird hours, can't put tips on credit card
