I fear I’m starting to have a real obsession with grey blending 😅🪩

Grey blending and a chop ✂️ let’s start to embrace the gray instead of covering it!

Why grey blending works:
- Low maintenance
- Eliminates harsh grow out (which accentuates the greys more)
- You can book every 8-10 weeks vs. every 3-4
- Cool tones are still so popular

Coming back from vacation with a big BANG ✨

A full custom color and haircut — we did Babylights and a Tip Out, root smudged/toned and added a wispy bang to complete the look 🪩

A transformation and honor I’ll never take lightly ✨

This has to be one of my proudest installations to date — “custom” doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Our beautiful client has struggled since her teen years with Trichotillomania — she’s been working relentlessly on letting enough hair grow for us to be able to do an extension and topper install. And it FINALLY paid off for her!

This wasn’t something I had ever done before but after tons of research I was literally losing sleep with excitement about making this possible for her! 3.5 hours of installation, 3.5 rows of extensions with a topper and we were BOTH holding back tears.

Using only the best hair

Our sweet Sunny is surrounded by all of the love a girl could ask for. We are feeling so loved and grateful for our people. 🥹 Today truly was a magical afternoon. Thank you a million to all of our friends and family who poured their hearts into spoiling us and our baby girl today.

We can’t wait to meet you and show you all of the love waiting for you here Sunny 💓☀️

🥹✨ We are officially Pittsburgh City Paper’s BEST OF PGH 2025 — Best Hair Salon and we are overwhelmed with gratitude.

Six years ago in August, Groove was just a dream come true — a place where people could come as they are, relax, laugh, and leave feeling more like themselves. Today, that dream is alive because of you — our clients who continue to choose us, support us, and cheer us on through every chapter.

To our incredible team: you are the reason we are here. Your talent, your laughter, your love for this craft, and the way you show up for each other and for your clients is what makes Groove more than just a salon — it makes it a family. This win belongs to every single one of you.

And a special thank you to my business partner and best friend, Lindsey — the best partner I could ever ask for. Having someone by my side who shares the same passion, vision, and heart makes this whole business journey not just easier, but so much more meaningful. 💛

And to our community: thank you for believing in us, voting for us, and letting us be a part of your lives. We couldn’t have done this without you. 💛

Here’s to six years, to the good vibes we’ve built together, and to many more years of making people look good and feel even better. 🌼🪩

Thank you, Pittsburgh. We love you.

✨ Why Education Matters at Groove Beauty Co. ✨

At Groove, we believe great hair doesn’t just happen—it’s crafted by stylists who never stop learning. 💇🏼‍♀️📚 Our girls put in countless hours of advanced classes, certifications, and hands-on training because education is what keeps us inspired, confident, and able to bring YOU the latest techniques.

Whether it’s mastering the newest blonding trends, perfecting curly-hair care, or learning how to make your blowout last through a Steelers game (you know it’s a skill 😅), our team thrives on staying sharp. Education isn’t just about skill—it’s about empowerment. When our stylists grow, so do the women in our chairs. 💕

We don’t just want to make you look good—we want to make you feel better, knowing you’re in the hands of a stylist who invests in her craft and in YOU. 🌸
