Platinum Salon

03/25/2008 Posted by HomePhi

I had a great cut from John about two weeks ago. This was my first haircut in the city of Pittsburgh; I just moved here earlier this year. I picked Platinum based on the reviews on this site. Since Platinum didn't have any negative reviews, I figured I'd try it. When I called I told the receptionist (who was very friendly) what kind of hair I have and what kind of cut I wanted (very long hair, wanting it cut to a short bob; also thinking about a body wave) and she suggested John. He's so easy-going, makes you feel very comfortable. He helped me pick the right length for my bob and showed me how to style it. Cut costs $49. The salon has recently moved from its Ellsworth location to Lawrenceville. The new location is a gorgeously renovated building with high ceilings and pretty fixtures. New address: 4731 Butler St. (they have their own parking lot). New phone: 412-682-1600. I would (and will) definitely continue going to John.

Pros: Salon gives great, stylish cuts without being snobby

I was looking for a new look and someone told me to go to platium, they do a great job. So I made an appointment for a cut and color and they recommended John, they said he is the expert. They were right, he gave me a great cut and the color and highlights were beautiful. John was very professional and was able to recommend the right cut and color for my face. I left there feeling like a million bucks. Thanks John I'll be back Darlene

Paul is my eye in a storm. No matter what is brewing, my appointment with him is always soothing and uplifting. Whether it's his great touch with color or the latest cut, I always get tons of compliments from friends and acquaintances. Haven't been disappointed in over 15 years and I'm a steady customer every month.

Pros: Ambience, timely, professional, lively conversation

Cons: None

I let my hair go for so many years because I was "too busy" then my mother got sick of my hair and sent me to Paul at Platinum Salon. Paul has fixed years of damage from to many chemicals and bad cuts. I love how he cuts my hair and the color is very natural looking. I recommend Paul to anyone looking for a stylish cut that can go from professional to fun in minutes. Paul and Platinum Salon gets 5 stars in my book!

I recently moved to the city and needed to find a hair salon. Several co-workers recommended Paul at Platinum so I gave it a try. I have been totally pleased with the experience from the talent to the relaxed atmoshere. Everyone is so friendly and very accommodating. My hair is fine and a great cut makes a tremendous difference. Paul and the salon get my highest recommendations.

Platinum is exquisite! The atmosphere is hip yet relaxed, the staff is friendly, & the quality of work is over the top. I have been a client of Paul for 10 years. He continues to impress me each time he cuts & colors my hair. I have referred many friends to Paul throughout the years & everyone agrees, Paul is the best!

I go to Maureen and so do a lot of my friends. She's great. She listens, she wants to make you happy, and she is truly skilled at her craft. She is also totally anti-attitude (ie, she's not one of those hairdressers who always try to prove to you how hip they are... she's just normal and nice and down to earth.)

Pros: great cut, relaxed atmosphere, Maureen

This is one of the best salons I have been to. Although it is a little pricy, its definately worth it. I have to agree with the other review in saying Maureen is the best! She cuts it how you want it.

Platinum is an excellent salon. The atmosphere is soothing. Ask for Maureen. She is the best in the city!
