About

Shear Elegance Salon has been serving the Pittsburgh area, by its own account, for more than 15 years. It sits at the rear of the Ardmore Boulevard building, so clients come in from the alley between Lenox and Sumner Avenues. The salon describes its setting as spa-like.

The menu is broad but braid-heavy. Feed-in braids, knotless braids, Miracle Knots, boho knotless and tribal or Fulani styles are priced by size, and the salon lists add-on hair costs separately. Locs work covers starter locs, retwists, sister locs and instant locs, and instant locs require a consultation first. Extensions and wigs include quick weaves, sew-ins, tape-ins, micro-links, closures, and wig installs and revamps. Hair is not included in the quick weave, sew-in, and wig install prices.

Other services include color, haircuts, styling such as blowouts and flexi rod sets, natural hair services, kids and natural braids, makeup, facials, eyebrow tint and lamination, lash clusters, and waxing. Several services are discounted by 10 percent from the listed price, and the prices shown here reflect that where the salon states it.

Clients book online through the salon's Vagaro page or by phone or text at (412) 251-1686. Consultations are offered in several types, from a free consultation for email subscribers to paid consultations for specific services. Bridal makeup clients can request travel services by text or email.

The salon is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Thursday and Friday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. It is closed on Sunday and Monday.
