One of the side effects of our thriving economy has been that we're pampering ourselves, which may be why full-service salons -- hair and nails, makeup and/or skin care and spa treatments -- are dotting the landscape. The Jacques Dessange Institut de Beaute is just one of many such salons in Shadyside, and that's not counting hair- or nails-only shops and the likes of Sephora or Brooke of Shadyside, which concentrate on makeup and fragrance.
We've compiled a list of other Shadyside full-service salons to give you an idea of how the business is booming in one Pittsburgh area.
