The Balay Collective

If you have been searching for a hairstylist that just gets you and understands what you want, look no further! Nichole is absolutely amazing and very informative and knowledgeable about her practice. I couldn’t recommend this place enough to anyone.

I’ve been going to Nichole for about two years since moving to Pittsburgh. My favorite thing about her is her passion for her craft and the way she educates on techniques and healthy practices while you’re sitting in her chair. Nichole is so intentional about her work and is super knowledgeable. She listens to what you’re aiming for, offers great advice, and works with you to achieve a successful end result that is beautiful and natural looking. The salon’s energy is peaceful, clean, friendly, and welcoming. Nichole and Jessica are so fun to be around. You’ll love it there!

This was my first French hair cutting experience and what a difference. Nicole took the time to explain the process, it was totally guided by my desires and I left with a stunning cut

Nicole‘s technique with hand painted balayage, and French haircutting Is the secret to my fabulous hair! The salon is always Very accommodating, welcoming and clean! I cannot recommend booking with Nicole and her staff enough. You will not be disappointed.

I have been going to Nichole for over two years. When I first went it was right after the worst cut/color I ever had from a different salon. I decided to go to Nicole to fix it after Facebook recommendations and I never looked back. I love how she cuts and colors my hair and she is such a great person. Don't hesitate to give her a chance. You will not be sorry.
