We have all been in those high volume, high pressure, and high priced salons.  You know… the ones where you feel the need to don your spikey new Louboutins, oh-so-tight skinny jeans and even get your hair done before you go? Now, how can a gal kick her feet up and truly relax and feel pampered as the queen of the day that she truly is when all that pressure and craziness is going on?

Your sisters at Pinup know just what you need for a session of pampering and beautification. What makes your team at Pinup stand out above so many other salons?

We are Divas of Detail, hair obsessed, Color Creationists, and personal style coaches for your locks. Your girls at Pinup are pursuing our dreams of making your dreams come true. We are all about facilitating the inner curl from your untamed mane, creating color masterpieces, and tending to your personal style and flair.

You know that your trusted Pinup professionals care deeply about you and the products you use to keep your hair radiant and healthy. Read on for a closer peek at the fabulous products we carry and learn why we feel as passionately about them as we do.

Unite:

If Marissa Marino and Riawna Capri (stylists to the stars) use Unite products on their A-list clients, why should your famous tresses be treated to anything less? What makes Unite products pass Pinup’s strict quality test of superiority? The products are free of sulfates, paraben, gluten, sodium chloride, DEA, MEA, and are safe for colored hair. What that means is that only high quality, natural products are applied to your marvelous mane and those harsh additives found in many hair product lines are avoided. Oh, on top of that? The products simply work! At Pinup, we’re more concerned with products that get the job done than we are with brand names, price point or who is styling who. We just want products that do what they say they will do, and Unite’s great at delivering on their promises!

feeling like silk instead of straw, shaped to make your hair look thicker and fuller than you thought possible, and smelling enchanting … you know your great hair
gives you confidence.

You know the drill. You’ve been getting your hair cut and colored at the salon Downtown for years, with results that are just ‘okay’, a price tag that’s a teensy bit higher than you’d like to pay for those results, and a lackluster experience overall.

Screen Shot 2013-08-27 at 5.30.37 PMIck. The experience of getting your hair done is supposed to be better. You’re supposed to love your hair when you walk out of the salon, tossing it over your shoulders or relishing the feel of the wind. Your trip in to see a stylist should really end with great results, and maybe be something you enjoy and even look forward to. I mean, you do have to live with and love your hair for a couple of months to come.

We may be a bit biased, but there are some things about Pinup Salon that makes us special, and we feel we stand out from your typical salon in a few awesome ways:
