Simply Captivating Salon

happy to have my trial and Christy took pictures and asked me later on in the day how things were holding up. I never knew how important a trial was before this! By the time my wedding day came (even after COVID postponement), Christy knew exactly how to make minor changes from trial so that my hair was PERFECT for my wedding. My hair was so stunning, Christy is a hair artist and I'm searching for my next opportunity to have my hair done by Christy. My hair stayed perfect ALL DAY, through my 1 am afterparty. I was so shocked and amazed by the style. If you're looking for the best of the best, stop here and book with Christy! I can't stop smiling when I think about my wedding hair!

ding. COVID unfortunately put a wrench in any on-site hair styling but Christy was prompt, honest and upfront to report any guideline change. She kept me updated throughout the whole crazy, covid wedding planning process and was so understanding considering the circumstances. She even let me secure a back up date while keeping my original date when we were considering postponing. Christy is extremely responsive and professional in all communication. I ultimately chose to go to her salon on my wedding day to get my hair done because I couldn’t pass up the opportunity in her talent! I wanted an elegant updo and she accomplished just that. My hair was stunning and held up throughout the entire day. Christy is one of the sweetest people and is amazingly talented, I would 100% recommend her to any bride looking to get a top notch hair style!

I have ever met! I have long, thick hair and I have struggled to find someone who could work with my hair and give me exactly what I wanted. Christy includes a hair trial which is so beneficial and helps her make your hair perfect the day of your wedding. I truly have never loved my hair as much as I did on the day of my wedding! My mom and bridesmaids also had their hair done by Christy and everyone’s hair looked so beautiful. I can confidently say that Christy is hands down the best Pittsburgh wedding hair stylist and you absolutely need her for your wedding day!

s feel so wonderful and beautiful! Each style was absolutely stunning!

risty was supportive, flexible, and professional every step of the way. She really put my bridesmaids and myself at ease. We had the pleasure of going to Christy’s salon the morning of my wedding to get our hair done. Even with social distancing and safety precautions, everything was amazing! I absolutely LOVED my hair, as did my bridesmaids! Christy was so kind and the whole experience was so enjoyable. We all received so many compliments on our hair throughout the day. I sent Christy a few inspiration pics as ideas and she blew them out of the water with what she did with my hair! I would recommend Simply Captivating Salon to any bride, bridesmaid, or anyone looking to get their hair styled! Perfection!

rn it into something 10x more beautiful in-person, with so much detail and precision. As I bride, I can say that Christy was extremely responsive, flexible and thorough during the planning and trial phases. I will be recommending her to anyone I know looking for a wedding hair stylist as I seriously can’t imagine a better experience!

he was so nice and calming before and during the wedding day!

instantly won over with the looks I found on her page. Christy's work compared to the inspiration photos were almost identical, which is something that every bride looks for! After a quick response from Christy and an easy booking process, she worked with me through multiple hair trials, answered every question I had and made recommendations for me. She was able to create a look better than I imagined. In additional to my hair, she did 7 others that included a mixture of romantic low buns, elegant up-dos, beautiful half ups and even classic Hollywood waves. From start to finish, Christy was a pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, passion, talent and kindness are exactly what you want from your stylist! If she is available for your date, book Simply Captivating Salon now!

aptivating to all my friends!

sappoint! Christy styled my hair as well as 6 girls in my bridal party. She was very prompt and timely, as we were on a tight schedule. Our hair looked absolutely perfect!! It unfortunately rained on my wedding day and the curls even held after getting rained on! I would highly recommend booking with Christy, as her work speaks for itself!

to midnight (have severe thrashing and dancing at my reception). I am truly so happy to have worked with her.

ere talking about how awesome my hair was all evening!

he hair for all of the most stunning weddings and styled shoots in the area and it’s because there is truly no one better! She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met or had the pleasure to work with and has a talent for what she does that can only be described as unparalleled. I had the utmost confidence in her that she would deliver exactly what I wanted for my wedding day and be able to field any of the requests of my bridesmaids as well. She navigated my fine, naturally straight hair and gave me a fullness and elegance that held all night long and even managed to incorporate the fresh floral hair piece that I loved seamlessly with my veil. I couldn’t have been happier with my overall look and the looks of all of my girls! She even stepped up when called upon to help a groomsman with a last-minute hair crisis! Christy is top notch and I could not have been happier than to have worked with her for my wedding!

to see how my style held up. She is very professional and has a very sweet demeanor. Everyone who received styles on my wedding day loved her and her work!

al day. I even changed my style a bit from the trial on the wedding day, and Christy was so accommodating. She has a very calming and warm presence - you will love her!

t advice as to which style/hair accessories would look best. She was always on-time on the day of trial and wedding day and finished everyone on schedule. Everyone's hair looked absolutely beautiful! My hair lasted all day and night and still looked great even after the wedding was over! It even held up through our first dance which involved a lot of spins, lifts, etc. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on my hair. In addition to being a great hair stylist, I absolutely love her friendly personality. Things get crazy and stressful on the wedding day and just having her around was so calming. I really cannot say enough great things about Christy and recommend her highly!

ia the “Burgh Brides” Instagram account. I had been following her and admiring her work since I started my wedding planning. When it was time to book my hair stylist, my makeup artist recommended her, and that sealed the deal. Christy was very prompt in replying, upfront with pricing, and incredibly helpful. I knew I wanted to use extensions, and she recommended a couple brands she was familiar with to guide me. She was fantastic and so professional during my trial. I had sent her photos previously and she had them all printed out and ready to discuss. I had a lot going on – extensions, head piece and veil – she utilized all of these accessories and the end result was stunning. Christy could not have been more perfect on my wedding day. Her and her assistant, Michelle were simply amazing. Each girl showed them what they wanted and they executed each hair style flawlessly. They looked and felt beautiful, which was so important – I wanted them all to be happy and they were! My hair was absolutely amazing. It stayed in place all day, including the headpiece (which was not small). I received so many compliments, and it was just beautiful. My wedding would not have been the same had I not booked with Christy. The hairstyle was beautiful in its own right, but it impeccably complimented my entire look - my hair, makeup and dress all were a cohesive look that was glamorous and romantic. It was everything I could have hoped for and more!

r out. Christy is a true talent and quite frankly a hair wizard. My style inspo came right from her own Instagram. I took a shot in the dark reaching out seeing as I was only six months out, and she was THAT good - there was no way she would be available. But the stars aligned, and I had the privilege of working with Christy. She was a true gem to work with - responsive, consultative, conversational. This was especially great since I was planning my wedding from four hours away. Christy made everything so very easy, and I hope to cross paths with her again in the future.

she was able to do exactly that to my hair. I emailed her about making some small adjustments to my hair after the trial and it was absolutely perfect! My hair stayed in place - all the curls and bobby pins the ENTIRE night! She truly does everything she can to make your hair exactly how you want it. Christy & her assistant Briana were so efficient - got all 11 of us done super easily and everyone's hair looked amazing! I really can't say enough good things- she's amazing!

was so quick at her work. All my girls had different styles in mind right from classic updo's to, braided styles to retro looks and Christy executed them all perfection without any trials! She came to the hotel very early (6.30AM!), well-equipped with everything she needed (including her work lights, which was a great call because the hotel lighting was not the best). She was very efficient with the timing- which is really crucial the day of! I was an out-of-town bride and Christy was amazing with accommodating me for a trial on a short notice. During my trial, I had a half updo style in mind, with curls. It came out beautifully, however, I was having second thoughts about the curls because I realized that I am more comfortable with my forever straight hair. Christy really understood the change I wanted and was totally on board with it. The end result was that I had perfect hair on my wedding day, got loads of compliments on the style and the hair stayed as it is all throughout the after-party. I would recommend Christy to any bride. Thank you, Christy! You made our day memorable :)

om Christy’s instagram leading up to the day. Everyone, especially me, was extremely happy and comfortable with our wedding day hair. I could not have loved my updo more (in fact, it was a repeat from a style that Christy did for me previously because I loved it so much) and it lasted well through the night without any emergency pins needed! She is such a sweetheart and was very accommodating of some last minute changes to my plans due to a family emergency.

and is so patient, in addition to being talented and skilled at her craft. She made my hair look like a Viking Goddess for my wedding day with intricate braids and adding in extensions (that I purchased from a great brand she recommended) to create a long and full look. She surprised me on my wedding day with adding in beautiful baby's breath from my flowers that put the hairstyle over the top! What was even better was she did a similar/matching style to my 5yr old daughter who was our flower girl. My sister, my mother and my MIL all had their hair done as well and raved about it! I couldn't have been any more happier with my hair for my wedding date and was so glad she was available. Definitely book her! Thank you again, Christy!

ct one. On the day of, she was so kind and cheerful and she made all of us look so stunning! She handled so many different kinds of hair for us - short, long, curly, thin, thick - to breathtaking results. Everyone was so happy and my bridesmaids got so many compliments!

ob. She does everything she can to help you lighten your load as you're planning your wedding. She will remind you about payments due, booking a trail appointment, and the balance for your bridesmaids. Besides the fact that she has great administrative skills, she also has incredibly skills when it comes to hair. I pulled three pictures off of Pinterest, and she was able to create a hair-do out of all three images. She also was accommodating when I decided to do a different hairstyle after I had my final dress fitting. With both hairstyles, she blew me away. She has incredible attention to detail, but she also is time-conscious which was very important since I had a small window to get ready. Out of all my vendors, she was the absolute best at her job both professionally and in skill.
