The Story
Capristo Salon and Wellness Spa is a second-generation family-owned salon and spa on Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside, operating since 1987. The business combines hair styling services with wellness spa treatments, creating a comprehensive beauty and wellness destination.
Nearly four decades in Shadyside have established Capristo as one of the neighborhood's anchor businesses. The transition from first to second generation of family ownership ensures continuity while bringing fresh energy and modern techniques to a proven business model.
What Makes It Pittsburgh
Family businesses that successfully pass from one generation to the next are the backbone of Pittsburgh's neighborhoods. Capristo's nearly 40-year run on Ellsworth Avenue, now in its second generation, is exactly the kind of business continuity that gives Pittsburgh's commercial corridors their character and stability.
