Super Cuts

Pitch Salon Opens

Audrey Hepburn had it. Grace Kelly had it, too.

Class? Poise? Fame and fortune? Oh, sure. And the loveliest hair.

Thanks to the new Pitch Salon, you can have it, too. Housed near the audacious, blue-haired environs of the Haight, the refined neighborhood salon came to be via a genteel European visionary.

Emmanuel Ievolella’s carefully restored Victorian space is beautifully uncluttered and decorated in elegant white and sage. A private coloring room allows for undivided individual attention. Tea, wine, and espresso are served in a separate lounge.

His crowning touch? Hiring creative director John Panelli, known for amazing, precise European cuts and styling. Panelli’s sexy, polished, English-inspired styles are updated versions of short classics.

And with access to ’dos starting at just $45 seven days a week, having glam hair is easy.

Fame and fortune will, no doubt, follow.


Pitch Salon, 514 Frederick Street, at Stanyan Street (415-664-4800 or pitchsalon.com).
