I have been a client of several supposed ""high end"" Columbia salons, but Pia and Steve is the only one that actually warrants that title. The salon is modern looking and there is plenty of space for everyone. Clients are immediatley offered something to drink, a service that is completely absent from other salons I've been to in Columbia.\r

That being said, the gem of the entire place is Shannon. I went to Shannon based on the reccomendation of several friends and I was NOT disappointed. Not only does he do the best color in town and a super fun and flirty cut (or ""diva"" as he describes it) but he is a blast to hang out with for a few hours. Shannon took my hair from ""blah"" to ""fabulous"" by adding beautiful red undertones and a giving me a cut that actually gave me body and volume.\r

Recently Shannon did my hair for my wedding. Not only did my entire wedding party have a great time at the salon that day, but I have received millions of compliments on my hair, some un-solicited from my photographer's blog. My wedding photographer commented she had never seen hair so ""smooth"" and easy to photograph. I am so thankful I had Shannon!\r

Lastly, as to Beth the other stylist reviewed...while she's never done my hair I can personally attest that she does try hard to please...she spent hours doing my sister-in-law's hair (who is extremely difficult to please) and finally got it the way she wanted it...and she looked great!
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
