2 words for salon 5844, Rude & Overpriced! more

I went to this salon expecting to receive an updated haircut. What I came out with, was not worth the price I paid and was not what I requested. When I called to make my appointment I was told that his stylists were highly trained in the latest techniques and styles. From my experience this is not the case. Pros: Bethann was a hardworking stylist Cons: Read my review more

There is an obvious pattern in these reviews. The negative review on 11/9/08 was followed by three 5 star reviews on 11/11, 11/12, and 11/14. There were actually no reviews since 7/10 which makes it extremely coincidental that three positives would get posted two days after the negative. I highly doubt that customers, like the one on 11/12, will ask people to book appointments too. The truth is, the employees or owners post these reviews to keep the ratings high. The negative review on 11/9 is not the only complaint with this salon...scroll down and see the others but they are skewing the data and pushing the negatives off the main page. Pros: Impossible to find any Cons: Quality, Service, Price, Treatment more

Beth Ann at Salon 5844 is excellent with color. I receive compliment after compliment on my hair color and cut. Pros: Love the clean Modern design of the salon. more

I just had the best hair cut ever from Beth Ann at Salon 5844! She used a new technique that she said she'd recently learned, which tells me that she's always updated on the latest trends and cuts. This new cut added so much volume to my usually fine hair. And the color looks great, too! I found the staff to be friendly and attentive and the salon itself is quite stylish, comfortable and conveniently located. Make an appointment NOW! more

i've never felt more compelled to write a review than i did when i read the recent, nasty, unrtrue review. after moving from NYC a few years ago, trust me when i say that beth ann is the only stylist i would trust my hair to for color and cut in this city. her technique is modern and swift and her salon vibe is chic and not cheesy like some other salons i've tried in the city. she is simply the best stylist (artist as i like to call her) and maybe that is why everyone from Elbow Room to Wax to Bondstreet to The Tiny Dot on the same street respect her so much. I know that I do and trust me, I've been to many stylists before. She just always gets it right. And thank goodness she uses modern hair products and serves fabulous coffee (that you'll never receive in a styrofoam cup). The salon is classy and thus, only attracts classy clientele. more

If you want a terrible hair do and be treated terribly, this is your place to go! I had a 3:30 appointment which didn't start until 4:00 because Beth Anne was busy with another client. She was supposed to be the best in the salon. At the time, I didn't know she was married to the owner, Larry. She cut my hair with regular scissors and I need my hair to be layered. She does not have a technique at all. She just pulls pieces, then cuts. The back has pieces that don't match the side. It is just a mess, like I cut it myself. After she cuts it, she puts some products on it and put me under the dryer for 10 minutes. I have really thick hair and it doesn't dry in 10 minutes. Then she pulls me out of the dryer, shakes it, and says that looks good, you're ready to go. My hair was still wet. She was obviously rushing me out the door cause she was very impatient. My husband was watching and he could notice that she was giving dirty looks to the other girls working when I had my head turned. She is nasty and all of her comments are nasty. The look I want is curly-wavy like Miley Cyrus. She was fighting me to do it her way which is wet with a bunch of tight curls and frizz, just like I stepped out of the shower. Why would I spend $60 for something I can get at home. RIDICULOUS!!! After I showed Beth Anne the picture that I wanted it to look like (I already showed the first girl when I arrived), she said we could have done that a long time ago and we would have been done already. She was really giving me these sarcastic remarks, not something I expect to pay for when I go to the salon. We called the owner later to complain but Larry hung up on us twice (and lied about it) because he didn't want to hear the feedback. IGNORANT!!! Take my advice, spend your money at Capristo's (next door) or Jacques Dessange (Shadyside) and you will be much more satisfied. I've been to both and other top salons that know current techniques, Beth Anne is old fashioned with delusions of competence. Cons: Everything (owners to workers), everything is bad more

I moved to Pittsburgh 4 years ago and spent a lot of time ""stylist shopping."" Then, I ended up in Shadyside and randomnly went to Salon 5844 for an appointment with Johnnie. It's been over 2 years now! I have had him both cut and color my hair and have been more than pleased. When I describe what I want, he delivers! more

I would like to make a couple of comments in defense of Salon 5844. As far as describing Beth Ann as ""off her rocker"", I suggest that perhaps the one who wrote that one particular review examine herself thoroughly before she submits such a statement for public review. You are without a doubt a very miserable person. I would rather 100% sit in a salon chair with a cheery, upbeat, not to mention an extremely talented lady , than a person with your attitude. As for the ""eyebrow guy""......REALLY? The ""EYEBROW GUY""? Do you use a dictionary or have you ever used proper English? The term for his position (now pay close attention) is HAIRDRESSER. EVERY hairdresser is trained to wax eyebrows. His name is Johnnie and he is a very talented young man. I travel a long distance to these people as often as possible. The reason is simply because ""I TRUST THEM!"" I don't trust anybody with my hair. I notice your so-called review was during the Christmas Season. Shame on Ms. Scrooge. Be happy! Pros: Both thumbs up!!!!!!! Cons: not a thing more

I had to wait at least 20min ( and I was on time) to be seen by Beth Ann. She laughed at my hair telling me that the stylist that I go to made me too blond and didn't know how to cut. ( I love the guy I usually go to, but he was on vacation) I felt almost made fun of. The salon was expensive and I did not feel comfotable especially when Beth Ann called over another stylist to look at underneath the back of my hair and laugh. more

Couldn't find a decent hair salon to save my life....until I went to 5844! Johnnie cuts the most perfect swoopy side bangs I've ever had, & I received so many complements. Recently, I decided to cut my long hair really short, Once again, Johnnie did a fantastic job! I pass out his business card any chance I get, so do yourself a favor and visit him @ 5844! Also, the salon is very nice and the price is reasonable. Pros: Nice atmosphere, decent price, & friendly service more

I moved here from NYC. I'm used to great haircuts anywhere in Manhattan. Move to Pittsburgh and decide to try this high end salon. Not worth it. Nice atmosphere, but so not worth the money. more

I've been going to Salon 5844 for a year and a half now. Beth Ann has always done a wonderful job with my hair- especially my color. She really takes the time to choose exactly what will look good with your complexion (not just when the color is done that day, but months and months later). I have gotten tons of compliments, and I highly recommend this salon. Plus, it is overall an extremely classy joint- for the time you're in there, they treat you like royalty. Love it. Pros: Ambience, Service, Hair color Cons: Parking more

I am from a bigger city and was scared to death to get my hair cut in Pittsburgh, but I really needed to, so I came to the web to do my research. After reading all of your reviews, I decided to give Beth Ann a try. HA! Pros: atmosphere was ok, price point was cheap for ""upscale"" Cons: terrible haircut, rude stylist, eyebrow and nail staff MIA more

johnny has been waxing my eyebrows for a couple of years now and he does an excellent job. people always ask me where i get my eyebrows done. i have gone to at least 5 places to get my brows waxed and he is by far the best. he also cuts my hair and does a great job. Pros: attractive enviroment, great haircuts, worth the price Cons: in over two years of going there monthly, i have no complaints more

I was hoping to be impressed with Salon 5844, given its great reviews here, but I was unfortunately disappointed. I arrived on time and had to wait for 15 minutes while the stylist finished two other clients. She cut way too many layers into my hair and did not give me the cut I asked for, which would have been okay if the cut wasn't so awkward - I now have layers that won't even lay properly. She barely spent half an hour with me, from start to finish - I am used to spending 45 mins to an hour with stylists, especially at that price point - and she was constantly talking, either to me or (more often) to others at the salon, to the point that I had to cut her off if I wanted to say anything. The hunt for a good stylist continues... Pros: Attractive, clean salon Cons: Stylist didn't listen to what I wanted, expensive more

Beth Ann has been cutting my hair (22 yr old guy) for around 3-4 months now and I've never had a better cut. It is a bit on the spendy side ($40) but completely worth it, in my opinion. Kind staff, clean salon, excellent treatment. Occasionally have to wait a bit but I think its because Beth Ann makes sure every cut is as perfect as possible before one leaves. Highly recommended. Pros: amazing cut, great service, friendly staff Cons: occasionally a wait upon arrival more

I was growing out my hair and wanted to get rid of a strange layer or ""step"" that another stylist at a different salon had put in. Based on the other reviews i thought that this would be a good experience. I feel like the stylist ignored what I said completely. I said that I did not like short bangs that go straight across, but that is exactly what she did. I could live with a short haircut if it were good, but I look like Dorothy Hamil or a dutch boy. This haircut makes me look about 15 years older. I have random ugly choppy layers that won't lie flat. Cons: snobby, difficult to drive to, bad haircut more

I got a haircut today and I am very satisfied with the results. Beth Ann is great and she really knows what she's doing. The salon is pricy, but worth it. Everybody is very nice. Will deffinitely go back. I highly recommend this salon to anyone looking for a great haircut and a quick and flawless service. Pros: Professional, great ambience, great service Cons: Expensive more

I recently started having my hair done by Beth Ann and the results have been terrific. She gives the best cut ever! My hair has tons of body and swing. It just feels marvelous. Pros: easy parking, good lighting, immaculate more
