CAPRISTO SALON AND WELLNESS SPA

Go to Lydia for all your wax services!! I’ve been going to her since 2010, when I received my first salon Brazilian wax! Lydia made the experience so easy and comfortable! She’s very professional and has a lot of experience, so if it’s your first time too I recommend her! Hands down! I’ve tried other places, however NO ONE compares!nnAlso, the salon is cute, clean & comfy. All the staff are friendly & greet you whether you are their client or not! As long as I’m in the Pittsburgh area, I will forever visit Capristo!

ATTENTION - FRUSTRATED WANNA-BE BLONDES with HIGH STANDARDS & EXPECTATIONS, including former natural blondes!!!! - ROSE is simply the BEST in Pittsburgh. I moved from the northeast in 2014 and it took 5 years & many one-time visits to other top salons to find someone who can nail blonde highlights - ANY SHADE you want to be. She consults thoroughly with you, advises you realistically and expertly on shades and tone, gets a hair history so she can anticipate your likelihood to turn brassy, etc.- and really listens. It pays off! I was BLOWN AWAY after the two visits I’ve had with her. The first time she got the perfect natural blonde tone for me, which is what I wanted, and the 2nd visit I was so sure she could be trusted to get it right, I went platinum for the first time. I have not been a natural blonde for about 10 years (I’m 39 now) and both color and tone were perfect on the first try. I was shocked - I felt like a new woman!! It was more perfect that’s I had even pictures. Both visits I walked away feeling GREAT about my hair - first time in Pittsburgh!!! She has this method for root re-growth that is literally priceless if you’re NOT into the newer trend of showing roots, though if you are, of course you can decline. Rose offers to work with you, and within your budget) for retouch or any kind of quick maintenance visits - though I honestly have not taken her up on those offers, as there’s (shockingly) BEEN NO NEED. I’ve never had highlights last this long, with regrowth that actually looks good. Goodbye horrifying regrowth line of the past 12 years - NO EASY FEAT if you’re a former natural blonde and thus have really high standards when it comes to highlighting. I feel so much more confident with the blonde hair i’ve had for 3/4 of my life! I had actually forgotten how great it feels to get your hair done and feel excited to show it off! It’s energizing! It’s a beautiful salon anyway, and worth the investment bc her methods increase the period of time between visits - finally a reasonable & budget-conscious approach at a top salon that produces exactly the highlights you want, and that flatter your skin tone (Rose also consults on that and her knowledge helps you make flattering choices in terms of shade and tone). I cannot speak more highly of Rose’s skills with highlights. This is the only google review I’ve ever left - SO sorry for the length - but honestly she’s worth it! And it’s really frustrating to pay a lot of money and walk away from a salon disappointed.

Vanessa is great, and so is Lydia. You need to tip in cash though

Tom is amazing and I will never go to anyone else!

What can I say? Sarah is awesome at what she does! I always leave the salon loving my hair. She listens to my ideas and she is creative, if I am not sure what I want I know she’ll have an idea. I go to her for my color, cut and styles. She is also a great reference if your looking for some good brows or a facial. Love her!
