About Craft Collective Salon Group | North Hills Pittsburgh Hair Salon

Welcome to Craft Collective Salon Group — a modern salon experience built for the creative, the confident, and the community-minded. Located in the heart of North Hills Pittsburgh, Craft Collective is more than a salon. It’s a space where artistry, education, and individuality come together to redefine what great hair means.

When we opened Craft Collective, our vision was clear: to create a space where stylists could express their craft freely while clients received an experience that felt personal, inspiring, and consistent. Too often, salons feel transactional. We wanted to build something different — a collective of passionate professionals united by a shared belief that hair is one of the purest forms of self-expression.

Our North Hills salon is designed with intention in every detail. From the natural lighting and open layout to the curated product lines and creative stations, every element reflects our belief that beauty begins in an environment that nurtures creativity and comfort. We’ve built a space that’s bright, inviting, and full of energy — a true reflection of the artistry that happens here daily.

The name Craft Collective embodies our philosophy. “Craft” represents our dedication to the technical skill and artistry behind every haircut, color, and style. “Collective” reflects our team culture — a group of stylists, assistants, and educators who collaborate, support, and grow together. Every stylist here contributes something unique, and that diversity of perspective is what makes the salon so dynamic.

Our team is made up of creative professionals who have spent years perfecting their techniques. We specialize in everything from precision haircuts to balayage, hand-tied extensions, bridal styling, and advanced color correction. Each stylist brings their own creative vision, but we’re united by a shared commitment to client care and continuous education. We believe the best stylists are lifelong learners — and we invest heavily in training and mentorship to stay at the forefront of industry innovation.

At Craft Collective Salon Group, our mission goes beyond great hair. We’re here to help people feel confident, beautiful, and authentically themselves. Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we treat every appointment as a creative partnership. Our stylists take time to listen, educate, and collaborate with clients to ensure the final look fits not just their features, but their lifestyle.

Community is at the heart of what we do. As a North Hills business, we’re deeply connected to Pittsburgh’s local culture and the people who make it vibrant. Many of our clients have been with us since the beginning — professionals, parents, artists, students — all part of a growing community that values authenticity and connection. We proudly support local initiatives, charities, and small businesses that share our mission of empowerment through creativity.

The salon’s atmosphere is intentionally different. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, not sales pressure. The energy is collaborative and relaxed — stylists consult openly, share ideas, and work together to ensure every guest receives exceptional service. Our clients often tell us that visiting Craft Collective feels like a retreat — a moment of calm where they can recharge and leave looking and feeling renewed.

We believe that true salon excellence is about consistency. Every stylist at Craft Collective is trained in our signature consultation process. This ensures that each guest receives the same level of attention and professionalism, regardless of who they see. We document formulas, preferences, and notes in detail so your experience feels seamless every time you return.

Education is one of our biggest investments. We host regular in-salon workshops, bring in guest educators, and attend national training programs to stay ahead of trends. From advanced blonding techniques to texture education and product innovation, our stylists are always learning. We see education as fuel for creativity — it allows us to deliver cutting-edge styles that feel both modern and wearable for our Pittsburgh clientele.

We also take sustainability seriously. Craft Collective is committed to responsible beauty practices that minimize waste and environmental impact. We use energy-efficient lighting, recycle materials through salon-specific programs, and partner with brands that share our eco-conscious values. We believe beauty should never come at the expense of the planet, and we’re proud to play our part in building a greener industry.

The Craft Collective experience is rooted in customization. We don’t believe in trends for trend’s sake — we believe in what makes you feel confident. Every cut, color, and style is tailored to your personal aesthetic and daily routine. Whether you prefer low-maintenance lived-in color, precision blonding, or effortless natural texture, we design looks that complement your individuality.

Our stylists specialize in modern techniques that combine artistry with functionality. Balayage, dimensional color, extensions, and bridal styling are among our most requested services. Each of these specialties requires precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of the hair’s natural movement. That’s why every stylist at Craft Collective undergoes advanced certification before performing these services — we hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.

Beyond technical skill, what truly sets Craft Collective apart is our culture. Many salons operate as individual booths or disconnected stylists. We chose a team-based model because we believe collaboration produces better results. Stylists share knowledge, assist each other, and celebrate wins together. This culture of unity ensures that clients always receive the collective expertise of the entire salon, not just one stylist.

Our leadership team believes in empowering stylists to grow sustainable careers. We offer mentorship, education reimbursement, and flexible growth paths so each stylist can evolve personally and professionally. Our long-term goal is to create a legacy salon — a space that continues to inspire, educate, and innovate for years to come.

Craft Collective Salon Group has become a destination not just for clients, but for stylists seeking an elevated work environment. Our North Hills location attracts creative professionals who want to do more than “just hair.” They want to build relationships, refine their craft, and make a positive impact through beauty. The result is a salon filled with energy, ambition, and mutual respect — a collective that truly lives up to its name.

Our clients notice the difference. They comment on the little things — how stylists collaborate mid-service, how recommendations feel authentic, how every interaction feels personal. It’s this level of care that turns a single appointment into a long-term relationship. Many of our guests become friends, collaborators, even creative partners in community projects.

Craft Collective isn’t just where people come to look good — it’s where they come to belong. We’ve created a space that welcomes everyone, regardless of background or style. Whether you’re booking your first appointment or your fiftieth, you’re treated like family. The trust our clients place in us is something we never take for granted.

We also understand that great service doesn’t end when you walk out the door. That’s why we provide aftercare recommendations, product education, and maintenance schedules tailored to your lifestyle. We want your hair to look as good on day sixty as it did on day one. Our stylists stay connected with clients through follow-ups and check-ins, ensuring satisfaction long after the appointment.

Over the years, Craft Collective has evolved alongside its community. We’ve expanded our team, introduced new technologies, and refined our methods — all while staying true to our founding values of creativity, education, and connection. As we grow, one thing remains constant: our dedication to elevating Pittsburgh’s salon experience through authenticity and artistry.

We’re proud to be part of the North Hills community and grateful for the trust our clients place in us. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a longtime regular, our promise is simple: every appointment will be thoughtful, creative, and customized to you. That’s the Craft Collective difference.
