About

Salon XO is a hair salon on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh, also listed as Salon XO PGH. It focuses on natural hair, including curly, coily, loc and textured hair, and the salon describes itself as a premiere natural salon. It also presents itself as a community with an inclusive, welcoming environment.

Natural styling includes wash and go, rod sets, comb coils, pin and tuck updos, silk presses, two-strand and flat twists, and blow-outs with trim. Locs work covers cleanse and retwist, cleanse with style, detox and retwist, and cleanse with interlocking, along with starter locs and microlocs consultations. Braids, crochet, sew-ins, ponytails and other protective styles are offered too, along with braid and extension removal and wig reshaping.

Color is offered only for healthy hair, since chemically or heat damaged hair is not a candidate. Keratin and relaxer services are available, and keratin requires a consultation first. Specialty shaping cuts cover pixies, tapers, bobs and layers; they are not barber cuts or fades, and the tapers are soft with no hard lines.

Beyond hair, the menu includes scalp treatments, facials, brow and lash services, full face makeup, teeth whitening and tooth gems, and trichology services. Listed prices are starting prices and may rise depending on the result wanted, hair condition, time and product use, and many services require a deposit.

The focus is on scalp condition and growth for hair of any type or texture, and the salon teaches both its stylists and its clients how to keep hair in good condition.

The salon describes its environment as inclusive and welcoming.
