Crowned with Style: Celebrating the Region’s Best Hair Salons

A fresh cut, color, and a new sense of confidence are moments that great salons create. And in the 2024 TribLIVE Best of the Best Community Choice Awards, three standout salons earned top honors for doing just that in the Westmoreland region. With dedication, creativity, and a personal touch, they continue to shape not only hair, but also the community around them.

Coming in first place and taking home the Gold is Styles by Santone in Irwin, a family-owned legacy for over 50 years. Styles by Santone has built its reputation on trust, talent, and top-tier service. Formerly of White Oak and now a staple in the Irwin area, this beloved salon is where generations have come to feel their best. With a team of skilled professionals who treat every guest like family, Styles by Santone is a tradition of excellence.

The silver winner was Christy & Co. Salon also in the Irwin area. Known for its vibrant energy and style, Christy & Co. has become a go-to destination for clients seeking personalized care and modern looks. Whether it’s a bold new color or a quick refresh, the team at Christy & Co. brings a friendly vibe and expert skills to every appointment.

Tucked just off Main Street in Mt. Pleasant is David’s Hair Salon, the bronze winner. David’s combines small-town charm with big-time talent. With a loyal client base and a reputation for quality cuts and great service, David’s is the kind of place where you walk in as a customer and leave feeling like a friend.

These salons aren’t just places to get your hair done; they are spaces where confidence flows, connections are built, and beauty is celebrated inside and out.
