Love Melissa! – After several poor attempts at going red, I decided to give it one finally try. I read great things about Capristo as well as Melissa in particular. And they were all accurate! Not only did Melissa do an AMAZING job with the color, the cut was excellent as well. Honestly, I think Melissa is the best hairdress I have been to in 10+ years. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality job. Melissa also listened to all of my concerns and questions. She was very patience with my indecisiveness. A... read more

LYDIA is the BEST for a great wax! – I have had many Brazilian waxes and LYDIA is by far the best ever! I will never go elsewhere. She is professional, speedy and a lot of fun too. She makes what could otherwise be a very unpleasant experience into an enjoyable one - the results are amazing! You have to try this for yourself! You will thank me :)

Lydia is by far the best!! – I have now lived in Pittsburgh for three and a half years. I have tried several technicians for a brazilian wax, and Lydia blows them all away. She is discrete, quick and thorough and I will continue to drive to see her from the South Hills. You can't go wrong with Lydia!

Totally rad – I've been going here for a couple years for the expert beautician Lydia who is Belarussian and waxes my eyebrows like a champ. I like her stories about caviar, vodka, and meat...adorable love life advice as well. I put her face in my hands, you'd be silly not to. She's a steady pro and my face always looks like a better version of my face when she's worked her magic. Sam, an up and coming stylist, just gave my locks a trim today, and I mentioned I was growing my hair out to donate to folks who had lost their lo... read more

"Pittsburgh's Best Reviewed and awarded"?? Really?? – Mediocre experience for an over-the-top price. This is not the place to go for a mani/pedi. First, I had to change my appt 3 times the day before to accomodate them for an appt that I made a week before. Then, after arriving on time, I waited 25 minutes before being seen. The staff were more interested in chatting amongst themselves then concentrating on doing the nails. Finally, my nails started to chip within 24 hours. Seriously, the cheap nail salons down the road are ... read more

Melissa is incredible – I would highly recommend Capristo for its awesome staff. Everyone there is extremely friendly and seems to function well as a team. In particular, I'd recommend Melissa. She is so talented and super nice. She was able to fix a terrible haircut I had gotten somewhere else; I love the new style she gave me. She is truly gifted when it comes to hair, and very dedicated to the client; she works hard to make sure you leave feeling beautiful. She also made me feel at ease, even though this was my first time... read more

Kim is the best! – So I went on here to find a top rated salon and I was not disappointed. It seems everyone requests Kim for hair and color so I figured I'd give her a try. I was NOT disappointed. Although she was running late, she did apologize and explained to me that she'll take forever on someone just to make sure they're happy. Honestly, I did not mind the wait. In the meantime, Cindy (totally adorable!), washed and dried my hair. It looked so shiny and amazing. After, Kim sat down with me and we talked about my option... read more

Great color! – After a few mediocre experiences with another Pittsburgh salon, I decided to give Capristo a try. I was very lucky to have been booked with Melissa. She does the best color/highlighting I've ever had. No skunky, streaky highlights here - the color looks better and more natural with my skin tone than my "real" hair color does! I get compliments on it all the time. Plus, she's just a nice, sweet person, genuine and friendly while you're sitting in the chair. A+ stylist, all-around. :-)

Great Salon! – I drive over 2 hours to see Kim for my hair. She always knows exactly what I need done. Color and highlights are perfect and so is the cut! Kim is the best! I have had several services at Capristo and have NEVER been dissapointed. We love the experience of just being at Capristo. We feel like everyone is our friend! We are from a small town and do not have access to such a nice salon.
