be. Salon

I’ve gone to Be Salon since it opened (originally called Salon Bella, located on Central Square in Mt. Lebanon). Holly, Patrick, Jenna and all of the stylists are tremendous. Holly ensures that everyone is well trained beyond formal stylist education. Be Salon also offers manicures, pedicures and waxing. Heather, the professional nail technician, is very astute at identifying any issues that you might have with your nails and recommending a solution (s). Highly recommend.

I’m also surprised this place doesn’t have more (positive) reviews. I’m thankful I gave Be Salon a chance based on the only two reviews. My husband and I both needed new hairdressers, which can be a crapshoot and a bit daunting… like finding a new dentist or doctor, there’s a lot of trust involved! Alayna cut my husband’s hair very well, he has thick, wavy hair and she cut and styled it so that he still had body and texture but not so short he looked like he was 12 (unfortunately this is how a lot of hairdressers in the past have cut it). Samantha gave me a trim and the second visit brand new blunt bangs. She listens to what I want but still gives my cut her own style.
I love coming here because Patrick at the desk is always so friendly (and offering me a cocktail doesn’t hurt either!) and because the entire Salon is low-​key but classy. The prices are fair and all of the stylists seem to have loyal followers, all different ages, men/​women and even some younger children (it’s been busy at 9am and 8pm and even during lunch hours). I also like that they pose a different question to their stylists each month/​week on the walls and they post their answers next to pictures of themselves. It’s a fun way to get to know all of them and feel like you’re in an episode of ‘Cheers’ where everyone does know your name.
Thrilled to have found this Salon… now if only my OB/​GYN office offered cocktails in the waiting room!

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have more reviews. I love coming here and even though it’s a bit of a drive for me, it is totally worth it. I found out about Be Salon after asking my midwife who cut her hair, her hair always looked amazing! She told me about Alayna at Be Salon and right away I booked an appointment. Alayna is wonderful, she always listens and every time I have a picture to show her what I want she gives me exactly that. I have had my hair colored by her too and it looks great, I always get compliments on it.
The salon is beautiful inside, it’s aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and ears because they always have great music playing. When you first come in you can count on Patrick, who is one of the owners, to greet you with a warm smile and offer you something to drink.
It’s right across from PNC Bank on Washington Rd.

Great hair place! I had had two really awful cuts in a row at other salons (both of which took me about 6 months to grow out) and I had just about given up on the idea that a stylist would actually listen to what I wanted. I saw Samantha at Salon Bella and she was wonderful — actually listened to me, asked more questions so she was sure she knew what I was looking for, and then gave me the exact cut I wanted. I was so happy leaving and I don’t remember the last time that happened when I went to a hair salon. I also got highlights for the first time ever and was very pleased with the results — again, Samantha made sure she knew exactly what I wanted — something subtle but still noticeable, and very blended. I am thrilled with how it came out — again, it’s exactly what I wanted! The salon itself is adorable too — right in downtown Mt. Lebanon and so charming. They offer wine while you wait too!
