Sandie Scott
OWNER / STYLIST / EDUCATOR
SalonU is the embodiment of the heart and soul of Sandie Scott, who opened her own salon in 2016 in her hometown of Allison Park, Pennsylvania. A true beauty industry artist, national and international educator, voracious learner, and “stylist to the stars,” Sandie loves helping clients explore and develop their own personal style—to be their best possible selves, feeling beautiful inside and out. A forty-year veteran in the field of cosmetology, Sandie began as an esthetician, doing facials and make-up, long before “spa” salons, then she moved on to master the art of hairdressing. Later becoming an educator for the Italian company, Framesi. |

Sandie started as a local Framesi technician 25 years ago, quickly advancing to a senior technician. With further experience, she was then invited to be a part of an international team of hair stylists, the Framesi Italian Style Team.
Membership requires ongoing rigorous training, testing, and completion of a certification program. The Style Team travels all over the U.S. and Canada to teach hair color, cutting, and current fashion trends, sharing the knowledge and expertise gained with Framesi with countless other hair dressers.
The Style Team also shares with one another. Many are salon owners. So when it came to opening her own salon and naming it, Sandie turned to her peers. Each one advised her to brand it with her own name.
“When I found this great location in Hampton for my salon, I was standing outside looking at the space when a friend of mine came along and said, “I can see it now, ‘The Sandie Scott Salon.’” Something about that didn’t seem right, Sandie thought. “But it’s not’s about me. It’s about YOU,” she replied.
And the name SalonU was born.
With that, Sandie created a salon that is equal parts relaxing retreat, beauty Mecca, and learning laboratory. A place of tranquility, where clients can escape the day to restore and refresh. A place to become a more beautiful version of oneself. And a place for growth and development for both clients and stylists.
Throughout her career, Sandie has made it her business to develop extraordinary expertise in every hair service so that she can create customized styles for every client, no matter their need—color, cut, perm, special technique, you name it. She leads by example through her “beauty university” for stylists, teaching them about the most advanced techniques, trends, and products, and encouraging them to unleash their creativity. In development are also classes for her clients (e.g, Skin Care 911 and Style Your Hair Like a Pro), because Sandie has found that her clients want to learn, too.
What’s more, Sandie’s interests and expertise extend well beyond hair to skin care, makeup, natural beauty products, fashion, and social and environmental responsibility. Early on, Sandie saw the connection between wellness, beauty, and social and environmental consciousness. With SalonU, she brings these all together in her mission to make the experience “all about YOU”—whether “you,” the individual or “you,” the planet.
Sandie brings yet another unique element to her salon chair. She has worked for more than 25 years in the entertainment industry, styling hair for artists in films, commercials, and music videos. Films she has worked on include “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” “The Fault in Our Stars,” Oscar and Golden Globe Award nominated “Foxcatcher,” and Brad Paisley’s music video for “Letter to Me.”
Of her stylist-to-the-stars experiences, Sandie quips, “Yes, I have dirt. No, I’ll never tell!”
Her work has been seen in print ads for Eyetique and UPMC, and published in InStyle, Nylon, other hair magazines and books.
Sandie has enjoyed working with Hollywood stars. But to her, anyone who sits in her chair is a star and gets the full star treatment.
With nothing but pure, honest conviction, Sandie says, “It’s not about status, address, or age. It’s about style. It’s all about being the best, most stylish YOU.”
