Where Craft fits
Craft Collective has studios at 2014D Babcock Boulevard in Pittsburgh’s North Hills and 115 W Pike Street in Canonsburg. Our service menu includes color, balayage, highlights, haircuts, extensions and smoothing services. Confirm your stylist’s location and the services included in your individual estimate.
Extensions and curls need different comparisons
For extensions, ask Fringe about the hand-tied options it advertises and ask Craft which methods suit your density and routine. Compare the hair purchase, installation, maintenance and removal as separate costs. For a curly haircut, discuss how you normally wear your curls and ask which stylist has relevant examples. Confirm how the appointment is performed and finished rather than assuming a particular cutting method from the salon’s service list.
Compare the full plan
Give both salons the same brief: a daylight photo of your current hair, recent color and chemical history, inspiration images, your budget and how often you can return. Ask which parts of the inspiration are realistic at the first visit and what may need several appointments.
- Which stylist has examples close to my starting hair and goal?
- Does the estimate include toner, a haircut and blow-dry, where needed?
- What maintenance visits and home care should I expect?
- What are the cancellation and rescheduling terms for this reservation?
Which salon should you choose?
Fringe is worth exploring when a Wexford location and its advertised curl or hand-tied extension services fit your search. Add Craft to your shortlist when you want to compare our stylist portfolio and locations; confirm the exact extension method or curl appointment directly.
We have not established that Craft is less expensive or has faster availability. Compare actual estimates and appointment options for your specific service. If you are keeping your current shade, tell your new stylist what you like about it as well as what you want to change.
