Dean of Shadyside Salon

Moved back to the area and was searching for a new salon. Came across this place and booked via their online scheduling system. Ariel is wonderful, especially if you’re getting color services! She always does a great job whether it’s highlights or a highlight/lowlight combo. Cut and styled my hair perfectly too. Highly recommend!!

Ken gave me an awesome cut and color. After having a number of bad haircuts I decided to go to dean and request an experienced stylist. Ken is talented and intuitive and I finally enjoy styling my hair at home.

I hadn't cut or styled my hair in five years and knew nothing about haircare, and everyone was happy to answer all my questions and inquiries. I came in not even knowing what I wanted done to my hair and left with an understanding of how to cut, care for, and style my hair in accordance with my hair goals. Despite me having no idea what haircut or style I wanted, my stylist, Gabe, was able to assess my nebulous wants to come up with a cut and style for me. He also explained how my hair care routine has impacted my hair in relation to my hair goals, and he was able to redirect me towards techniques that would get me closer to my hair goals. Gabe explained every step of the process and why he was going it so I could recreate it on my own to achieve my daily styling goals. ONLY COMPLAINT AND IT'S A BIG ONE: Please refine your tipping system! Clients cannot tip when paying with card; clients must send money directly to the stylist's Venmo account or do a separate cash transaction. I can't
