Having recently moved into Chatham Village, owner Patricia Goettel was thrilled to find her small space, formerly a barber shop, at 326 Bigham Street.
Renovations were completed while Patricia travelled to New York, Paris, and Hong Kong, where she found treasures for the boutique.
” I am meeting some dynamic women here, as well as seeing some familiar faces and long-time clients who live on Grandview. There is great, fresh new energy just on this corner with Bigham Tavern under new ownership.”
What makes Patricia Boutique a destination? ”You don’t know what you’ll find when you come in, but it is very likely you have never seen it before”.
The convenience of the location, the wide price range, and the fact that there are no employees make this a very special experience.
“When you are here, you are dealing with me.”
Patricia’s career in fashion includes being a buyer in the ’70′s, over ten years with Rodier Paris ( being an original tenant at Station Square),management and executive positions with Saks Fifth Avenue and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.

Complete Relaxation and FUN!
It was that time, you know the time when dark roots rear their ugly head and become noticeable to the world. Since I had been working in Mount Washington I decided to change it up a bit and patron one of the local salons. I had met Jennifer at a community meeting and decided to give her salon a shot.
When I called to make my appointment, she was extremely accommodating. A week later I was on my way to Boggs Avenue to address my hideous roots. When I walked in, I was greeted by Jennifer and her cousin who works with her conveniently named Jennifer. There was no wait so I was in the chair immediately. After a bunch of bull-gabbing and enough foil in my hair to pick up satellite television, I was getting my hair washed with the yummiest smelling shampoo. For me, like many others, getting my hair washed is like a Zen experience; all I wanted to do was fall asleep, but I was too excited to see my hair.
After my hair was cut, styled, and dried, I felt like a new woman. My highlights were perfect. Jennifer did an awesome job. The best part was that I had fun. There was no pushing to buy products or other services, just an enjoyable a relaxing few hours of salon peace and happiness.
