About

The Babe Cave sits in Lawrenceville, Pittsburgh, and describes its atmosphere as cozy and intimate. It is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Wednesday and Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and is closed on Sunday and Monday. The salon calls itself a trendy place without the pressure.

Color is the centre of the menu, and each service is named by what it does. A gloss adjusts the tone of blonde, brunette or red hair with a blow dry and style. Root color retouches regrowth or covers grey, and can be paired with a gloss to refresh the ends. A single-process brunette runs from roots to ends, while a bronde keeps a brunette base with face framing or balayage. Partial blonde covers the hairline, top and sides, and full blonde covers the hairline and whole head for rooty, lived-in or fully bright results. Red color covers any shade from red-red and copper to red-brown and red-violet, and pricing for specific shades is given on inquiry. Bleach blonde is an on-scalp bleach application without foils, and new bleach-out clients must book a color consultation first to confirm they are eligible. First-time clients can book a free 15-minute color consultation, and clients who are not local can request one by text.

Cuts and styling are priced by service and time. The Guys Cut at $45 includes a shampoo, haircut and style in 45 minutes. The Haircut at $75 covers a wash, length removal and a style of the client's choice, and is offered for layered cuts, bobs, lobs, pixies and long hair. A wash and style starts at $60 and includes a blowout, but it is not offered with updos and adds $15 for clients with extensions. Updos start at $125 and do not include a wash or blow dry, so clients should arrive with clean, dry hair. The Brazilian Blowout is a smoothing treatment for frizzy, coarse, dull or hard-to-manage hair, and the salon notes it lasts four to six months.

Extension services start with a $25 Extension Consultation, which new clients must book before scheduling an install. Extensions are applied in rows: one row starts at $175, two rows cost $350 and three rows cost $525, and each includes removal and reapplication. Tape-in frontals start at $60 and are used only for face framing or to fill areas where rows cannot go, with tape-ins priced at $10 per piece. Extension removal is $100 and includes a wash and style, with a trim to the ends if needed. Extension rows can be paired with a style, a gloss, or any color service.

Booking policies are set out clearly. A full cancellation fee applies to all scheduled services for cancellations within 48 hours of the appointment or for no-shows, and those fees are non-refundable. A partial fee or deposit may apply to color services cancelled up to 48 hours ahead, depending on notice, extension services or cancellation history. If a card declines on an enforced fee, payment must be received before the client can rebook. Buy Now, Pay Later is available in person for bookings from $50 to $4,000, with approval needed before the appointment.

The salon describes its style as trendy without the pressure, and first-time color and extension clients start with a consultation before booking the full service.
