The Soho Salon, Pittsford

Housed in the historic Wiltsie & Crump building—originally erected in 1886 to serve as Pittsford's general store—The Soho Salon's warmly lit interior is home to a collective of former salon owners, veteran colorists, and seasoned stylists. One such stylist, Melissa, has been tending to hair for more than 15 years. Eye-catching chandeliers illuminate her workstation, and an oversize mirror bordered in bright red and set against cream-curtained walls enables her clients to watch her magic at work and blink their requests in Morse code.
