Top 5 Tuesday | STYLE | Hair Salons


(darechisel)

The process of finding the right salon can be a very time consuming and terrifying thing.  It can take a lot of bad experiences to get to one you actually like.  There are a lot of factors in picking out the perfect salon: price, atmosphere, treatments, services, ect.  Some just like a simple salon that gets you in and out quickly, others like the whole full service salons complete with a makeup counter and spa.  Here are my Top 5 Favorite salons in Pittsburgh - hope these help you find the perfect salon for the New Year!!!

Foto Friday | MUSIC | The Yes Way

The Yes Way (Isadora) at Shadow Lounge by Janine Bonilla

Last Summer, I met a great band from NYC called The Yes Way as they were making their way around the country.  I snapped this picture of them at the Shadow Lounge - one of my favorite spots to see live music!! They have since then changed their name to Isadora and have been featured in magazines such as Interview and W.  Oh how I miss live music in the Summer....




Foto Friday is a way to highlight local photographers - If you are interested in featuring YOUR photography on Foto Friday, please submit your photo as well as a small paragraph about yourself along with contact info to:  thepghlook@gmail.com

It must be your own work and has to be conducive to either style, music, art, or culture in Pittsburgh - be creative!
