Definitely check out this salon.
I have lived in Pittsburgh for 4 years now. For the past 4 years I have been searching for a salon that did my highlights and cut the way I wanted. I've had some horrible experiences elsewhere. So bad, in fact, that I had been driving 6 hours to the same hair salon my mother uses in a different state for the past year since I knew I could get my hair done the way I wanted there.
Looking for something close to home and persuaded by reviews online, I checked out Capristo. I called and they were able to fit me in the same day for an appointment due to a cancellation. I had my appointment with Melissa who did a FANTASTIC job. I explained when I came in that I was looking for very natural looking highlights that didn't give the appearance of racing stripes.
The outcome of the color was everything I could have asked for and more. It was a beautiful golden blond color (she incorporated highlights and low lights) and there was no chance of streaky racing stripes. She also worked with me to make sure that I was very happy with the cut that I got. While talking to her it was clear she was very knowledgeable about different techniques.
It was a little pricey compared to alternatives in the area but by no means unreasonable. It was comparable to what I had been paying in Northern NJ. I also think the cost was very much worth the quality of the outcome.
I would recommend Melissa at Capristo 10 out of 10 times.
