Capristo Salon

I've had two surgeries on my feet, and I get ingrown toenails. Pedicures can be painful for me and my sensitive feet, and more often than not my ingrown toenails are not properly treated. But today I went to Cheryl for the first time. She removed the ingrown nails expertly, with very little pain. I usually ask to skip the foot massage because my feet are so sensitive - but I quickly trusted Cheryl not to hurt me. She gave me a relaxing foot massage with a lovely exfoliating scrub. Cheryl has been at Capristo for 20 years - so I know she has a good track record and will be reliable in the future. I highly recommend her. more

so i just had the pleasure of meeting Dana, a stylist at Capristos. Not only did she make me feel completely comfortable and relaxed i also really felt like i could trust her and what she was doing. She has a great look about her and she was absolutely professional. I had all over color and a cut done in little under 2 hours and i was by far impressed with the great shampoo. I have to say i felt really great sitting in a girls chair that at least 4 other stylists asked her opinion on their clients color, that just says something. There was no egos in the salon and everyone was having a great time with each other and their clients. It had a real neighborhood feel but with the talent of a trendy NY salon. I was so impressed with my overall look when i was done, not only did she take a creative approach to just putting one color in my hair, but my haircut came to life before my eyes and i couldnt have wanted anything better. I am not only a Dana client for life but i am now her biggest promoter so come see her Ladies and gents....you wont be disappointed! Pros: talented stylists with BIG personalities. Good location Cons: salon being redone, shampoo area not nice looking and colors of salon not modern more

I'm extremely particular about my hair. Breanne is the only stylist in Pittsburgh I trust to cut it for me. She's friendly, easy to talk to and really funny. She's always been receptive to what I want done while being able to offer her own professional input at the same time. I've been going to her for about 2 years and she has never disappointed me. She cuts hair while it is dry to make sure it looks just the way you want it. All of my friends go to her as well. She is fantastic! I'd recommend her to anyone. Pros: Skill, Friendliness, Consistency Cons: Sometimes difficult to get appointment more

Everything good you've heard about Shelly? True. I drove two hours for my first Sphinx/Brazilian wax and had the car die on the way home. It was worth it. Pros: Atmosphere, Friendliness Cons: The menthol creme they give you afterwards (second ingredient is fragrance. Id personally rather have something more useful. Companies fault, not the salon.) more

I was a brazilian waxing virgin until I met Shelly. The atmosphere of the Salon was relaxing and inviting yet professional. Shelly held a conversation as she quickly ripped the hot wax and knew of the sentisive areas which she engaged breathing excersises to work through the sting. I am amazed at the results and plan to see Shelly every 4-6 weeks! Pros: excellent upscale salon at reasonable prices Cons: metered parking is available so you may have to drive around the block. Minor inconvenience more

OMG- first brazilian (or any bikini-related) wax ever and Shelly is a god! She works quick, tells you how to breathe and talks to you like an old friend. She made it seem completely normal and natural for me to hold me legs over my head while she chatted and ripped away. Can't speak for other waxers, but with Shelly it is not bad at all and I would definately do it again. Pros: Quick, comfortable atmosphere, very skilled Cons: none, except that some areas inevitably hust plain hurt more

I went to Capristo's for the first time today and wasn't sure what to expect. I was looking for a trendy haircut and something that stood out. I have very fine-thin hair and have always had a hard time achieving the styles that I want. I met Shayla and she was first off an absolute sweetheart. Personality as big as the world! She took her time and did exactly what I asked for! I have already recomended her to a couple of my friends. If your looking for someone who knows what they are doing, go see Shayla! She worked her magic and made me look exactly how I wanted! Thanks, Shayla! : - ) Pros: Easy to get an appointment, Friendly Staff, Nice location Cons: parking is on street more

She is absolutely fabulous! I recently got 9 inches cut off and some new highlights and was 100% pleased with what Breanne did. She is so trendy and did exactly what I wanted...to the tee! Highlights were superb...everyone loves my hair and wants my stylist's number! I definitely recommend going to Breanne for any hair needs! Price is resasonable too...she takes her time and cares about her clients! Pros: Great location, friendly, personable, never a problem to get an appointment more

you need to go here. get a braziliian, get it ONLY by shelly. she is amazing, professional and just really good. you wont be disapointed! Pros: SHELLY! more

I moved to Pittsburgh almost a year ago and was in search of a new hair stylist. A friend of mine recommended Kim at Capristo's and said she was amazing at what she does. My friend did not let me down. Kim highlights and cuts my hair and I have never had my color looking so great. Since I have been going to Kim my hair also feels healthier. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone. She is not only great at what she does but she is a very sweet person and easy to talk with. more

It was my first time at Capristo, and it was a great experience overall! Kim is amazing, especially for blondes. She was very careful in making sure my color and highlights were perfect. She also really paid close attention to the type of haircut I wanted. I definitely highly recommend Capristo to anyone looking for a new salon. Pros: Atmosphere, Service more

I love love love this salon! Breanne is amazing! Not only did she gave me fabulous color and cut but she is an awesome person, so easy to talk to and really knows what she is doing. My blonde highlights look so natural, she really works with you to give you exactly what you want. Also gives her expert input which is always appreciated. Such a positive vibe in the salon, everyone seems so happy to be there! The Wednesday happy hour with martinis is a huge plus as well =). A little pricey but most definitely worth it, would recommend to everybody! Pros: Ambience, happy hour, environment, service Cons: pricey, but worth it! more

beautiful salon wonderful service Kim could make best friends with anyone during the course of a hair cut! She's the best! and Lidia is sweet and good at waxing! more

I just came back from seeing Dana at her new location. Dana has been doing my hair for over a year and I am so glad I found her. One of my friends (whose hair I was always envious of) recommended her. I was so unhappy with my color before I saw her. I am blonde and it didn't look natural. I was never completely happy even though I was paying a fortune at one the "top" salons in Pittsburgh. Dana transformed my hair--She gave me what I ASKED FOR....now I have the color I was born with!!! I get so many compliments and I tell them all to see Dana so they can look awesome too!! Not only will you LOVE your look when you are done, you will enjoy the process of getting there. She has a great, enthusiatic, personality and it will make it go by so fast! She has shown me how to style my hair and showed me how to do those cute styles you always see in magazines, so I can put my hair up when I am in a rush to go to work or meet friends. Thank you Dana! Can't wait to see you next time! Pros: Great color & cut, fun stylist, lots of mags Cons: may need a few extra minutes for parking more

I have been going to Kim for the past two years for highlights and hair styling, and I haven't been disappointed yet. I have gone to more expensive salons for color and styling in larger cities, but have never had a better cut or color than I have now, at half the price! Kim is an expert with color, and changes highlights and lowlights with the season, so that the color looks completely natural. Her cuts are also excellent, and she is able to layer my fine hair so that I can wear it long, which I have never been able to do before without it looking stringy. I plan to keep going back to Kim and Capristo's for a long time! Pros: The services provided by the salon are excellent, and professional Cons: The salon can be crowded, the front desk staff unable to handle the volume of clients more

I just visited Caprtisto's salon for the first time. I consider myself to be picky, but I was pleased. I had 3 services done. I had my eyebrows shaped, a manicure and some color. I was really pleased with everything!! My mani lasted longer than a week!!!! The whole staff was warm and welcoming and I felt like family even though it was my first time. Everyone who works there is having a good time and they LOVE what they do and it shows! Keep up the good job guys!!! Pros: Staff, manicures, & efficiency Cons: under renovation right now more

I have been a client of Dana's for quite a few years. I would follow her anywhere. When I heard she had moved to Capristo's, I was excited to check it out. I had never been there but i have heard a lot of buzz that the place was changing. When I arrived the salon was bustling. It was nice to see that since the place she was at before was like a ghost town. Everyone said hello to me. All the staff was very gracious and courteous. /this means a lot to me. As always, we chatted and laughed like school girls. I feel so comfortable with Dana and she always knows what to do and keeps me up on the latest trends. I always get complements on my hair and always tell people that Dana is the best in Pittsburgh. There are many seasoned stylists in the city, but Dana has a fresh, modern approach to hair. This is what many people are searching for but find hard to achieve. Well, Dana is just the answer. If you want your hair to look great and want someone hip and extremely talented, go to Dana. And I believe Capristo's will be the place to be since they are going through many changes and want to be state of the art. And there is not an overwhelming plasma t.v blaring in your face while you are trying to keep up to date with fashion magazines. So, here's to Dana and her future at Capristo's. Best of Luck!!! Pros: Dana, Dana, Dana... Cons: No starbucks in walking distance more

Capristo is a great salon, very professional and very reputable. I personally see Kim. She does a fantastic job with my highlights. I've never had a single complaint with her work. I get lots of compliments on my color and have Kim to thank. If you are looking to have highlights done be sure to ask for her. She is also great with the cut and style. Definitely the best stylist I've been to. more

I recently moved to the area from Boston and i work as a buyer at EB Pepper on Walnut St. When i told the girls i needed a new haircut to go with my new job, they both said the same name Dana @ Capristos. I got the number at Capristos and made the call. I was able to get an appointment that day b/c she works long hours. ( which is what you want when your ready to cut your hair right!) I walked into a busy salon and sat down in her chair. Not only did she read me like a book but she made me feel like we had known each other for years. Then after a GREAT shampoo she started her cutting. I never felt vulnerable or scared once, and i was loosing at least 7 inches! The results were amazing i am soooo happy. I have never felt or looked better and my boyfriend and co-workers agree. Thanks again Dana You're the best and ill see you soon for color!! Pros: Great Haircut and Great Stylist Cons: Leave time to find parking, but worth it more

Since the first moment I could get a haircut, I've been going to Capristo's and in that time I've come to know Kim as one of the best not only at Capristo's but in Pittsburgh. While my friends have had horror stories about people dying their hair or cutting it a way they hated that even brought them to tears, I've always felt confident it whatever Kim is doing and however she goes about executing it. She knows what works best for every client and isn't afraid to tell you what will be best for you. In this day in age, we're all so determined to do our own thing to distinguish us, and the worst possible thing you could do is damage your hair in the process. Kim's first priority is always the customer and is much more thorough that any other person around. While other people I know are worried about where they're going to get their haircut in college, I know that no matter what it takes, I'll be venturing back to Kim not only throughout college but throughout the rest of my life. Pros: Everything, worth the money more
