Colaizzi's Hair Styling

It was wonderful! Dee always comes up with creative designs and colors for my nails based on the seasons and/or holidays! I get many compliments everywhere I go! If you are looking for an affordable, quality manicure or pedicure, please ask for Dee at Colaizzi's. I highly recommend her!

Really well. Excellent customer service. My stylist is one of the best I've ever had anywhere, including Manhattan.

Great. The owner Vince Colaizzi, cuts my hair and he does an awesome job working with all of the cowlicks in my hair. He has converted one of the original school houses in our area into his Salon. So many others would have torn down the old building and built a new concrete one but he kept the history and charm of the building and windows and decorated the inside with distinctive quality. It's great that he's preserved some of our area's history while also serving his clientele easily. His full service salon is always clean, tastefully decorated for each holiday and the employees are pleasant, personable, knowledgeable and professional. I'm pleased to be his client and I hope to be there for a long time in the future.

These ladies are the best! Kim always styles my hair exactly the way I ask. Color is perfect too. I have had some color and cut disasters at other salons but no worries with Kim! Dee is meticulous with her manicures and pedicures. She goes above and beyond!

My experience at Colaizzi's was awesome. Vince has cut my hair for many years and I would never go to someone else. My hair cut is done with only scissors (which is definitely not what you get when you go to the chain places). Vince always nails it and I get many compliments on my hair. Everyone at the salon is so incredibly nice and personable. You are always greet with a smile and address by your first name. I can't say enough about this place. Colaizzi's is Pittsburgh's hidden gem for female and male cuts, color, and other services you would expect to find at a full service salon.

I have been going to Colaizzi's for years.  I am always astounded at how they bend over backwards to accommodate a wide range of clientele. 

I have even seen the kindest approaches to caring for a client with memory issues and making sure she was comfortable and surrounded with support.  I'm not sure you would find that everywhere. 

Vince always makes sure we are a team in choosing updates to cut and color.  Dee does a magnificent pedicure (even with my extremely calloused feet to deal with) as I am a high heel-lovin' gal.

Many thanks every time.

Along with getting my hair done I also get my eyebrows done and my nails. Every service I receive I am always pleased. They do such a great job and are professional. When you come to Colaizzi's you feel that the employees actually care and you are always treated with the upmost respect. I trust everyone there with doing all of the services. When I leave there I always get compliments on how I look. If you are looking for great customer service and to feel even more beautiful then when you walked it then I would choose Colaizzi's. I would also like to add that the prices there are very reasonable and you are paying for what you receive. It is well worth it and I would recommend it to everyone.

It was amazing Kim is a great hair stylist she cut it exactly how I wanted it and I couldn't be happier. My husband loves my new look.

Vince is wonderful!

Very disappointed. The salon is very outdated, counters and cabinets made of old wood paneling. I expected for the price a pleasant experience and exceptional hair. The stylist found out I worked with her father and that's all she talked about the whole appointment. She did an ok job but not for the price. Will not return.

It looked great!  Vince made sure I was completely satisfied with the

results. 

This was my first appointment at Colaizzi's. I found the salon through Angie's list.
I was very pleased with the service. My hair has never looked this good!!
Vince Colaizzi determined a good hair color for me, made time in a busy schedule
to do highlights, and gave a very good haircut. He gave me information about what
my hair needed, how to style it, and suggestions regarding the products to use.
I will absolutely go back!

This was my first appointment, I loved it and went back the next day for more. The regular wax women was great, sorry I forgot and lost her card.  She was professional and helpful.  She gave me tips and truly seemed like she cared. I had my whole leg done; however she tried to tell me that I only needed part.   I have never had someone try to down sell things.  How honest and wonderful is that.  She was ale to do my legs and lip in the time frame I had.  I have sensitive skin with lots of thick hair.   She paid special attention to my skin and gave me special lotion and tips to treating it.  The redness that usually lasts 3 days was gone by morning.  I liked her service so much I went back for a bikini the next day.  I thought it was going to suck and be painful never mind embarrassing but she was professional and almost painless.  I will recommend the service and her to everyone who needs a waxing.  Lets be honest waxing is not that bad and it is better the shaving while on vacation.

He is on Angie's List. I really like him a lot. I think he has won a Super Service Award recently. He is really gifted in terms of haircuts. He has been cutting hair since he was 14, and he is now 68 or 69. He knows what he is doing with hair. It is $45 for a haircut and $60 for the manicure and pedicure. I've been going to him for 4 years now. He rescued my daughter's hair after it had been fried with some chemicals at another shop, and he was able to nurse it back to health with some proper treatment and a good cut and some color. He is just very knowledgeable about all aspects of hair care and color.

My hair was in terrible shape. The cut was a mess and the color was worse, meaning it was all different colors in different places. Vince the owner took a lot of time just talking with me and asking me what I wanted, what he thought of the situation and how he would try to correct it. He did tell me that this would take a few visits before it was what he and I wanted. I've never had a hairdresser take such time with me before. I told him I trusted him to do what he wanted with my hair and he explained exactly what he was going to do this visit. Every one on the staff there was extremely nice and pleasant, The salon was spotless clean. Vince colored my hair, shaped it and styled it for me because I had an event to go to that night. I asked him if he would continue to do my hair and he said yes. I've had experiences where you go in and the owner does your hair then passes you off to someone else. In closing, I was extremely pleased and when I did my hair at home, it was so easy to work with and looks so nice. I've already received compliments on my color and cut. Ginny, Vince's assistant was terrific. So close to my house too!

I just started with Vince Colaizzi in mid-2013, after yrs of using Cost-Cutters.   Cost-Cutters was cheap -- and OK, as long as I had my regular stylist, who was terrific.  Then she left on a prolonged pregnancy leave.  After that I noticed that the stylists I was assigned to at random did, in fact, a random job of hair-cutting.    (Maybe they all guessed they were just temporary substitutes until Michele returned from pregnancy leave.)

 When a friend suggested that I could get an even cheaper and equivalent hair cut by doing it myself in the back yard, I realized I needed to explore other options.

It took Vince Colaizzi 3 sessions to shape up my random-chop hair cut into something with style.  (And he warned me at the outset that it would take that long for the mismatched chops to grow out.)  At the end of that 3rd session, looking in the mirror, I realized I'd received the best styling job (for me) that I'd ever seen.

Vince and his staff are professional, experienced, courteous and pleasant to be around.  The salon looks like a home in many areas.  And it has pedicure services, which I plan to use in the springtime.  I doubt they'll be the cheapest pedicure services, as the hair styling and coloring are not the cheapest at Colaizzi's -- BUT: I've learned the hard way, over the years,

that I'm going to get what I pay for!

NOTE:  I've found equivalent salons (in terms of quality) in Shadyside and downtown -- but they charge more, possibly due to location.

I have been going to Colaizzi's for 41 years. On my first visit, I had long hair which I wanted to be cut into a short style.  The owner explained that if I went from very long to very short hair, I wouild never like it because it would be too drastic a change.  Instead, he cut it into beautiful layers and I loved it.  Over the years I have had many different styles. Each time I leave the shop, I feel confident and well-groomed.  I have also received manicures and pedicures which seem to last forever.  The staff is friendly and helpful.  Vince Colaizzi is an expert working with hair.  I receive compliments from my colleagues after each cut and color.  Both my husband and daughter also use this provider.  Colaizzi's has be come a family favorite.

First, let me start by saying that I hadn't gotten a haircut in over 2 years. I had stayed away from salons because I was nervous about trying a new stylist. Finally, my hair got unmanageable and annoying and I came to Angie's List to help take out some of the risk involved with trying someone new. I chose Colaizzi's because it was close by, had a 'half-off the first cut' coupon, and got excellent reviews.
It was very easy to schedule an appointment--I was able to get in the next day at a time that fit my schedule. My stylist was Alex. She is wonderfully personable. Even before the shampoo we sat down and talked about my usual hair regimen, why I'd waited so long for a cut, and what my goals were for the new cut. I don't have a lot of time to spend on my hair and am not a "product" person so I really needed something that would require, at most, a few minutes of blow-drying in the morning. She offered some suggestions and we collaborated on the final decision.
I was impressed with the overall atmosphere--comfortable, not chemical or commercial. Just seeing the interactions of the other stylists with their clients it was obvious that they build relationships and get to know their customers. Alex is a very skilled stylist and she really took the time to understand my hair. I was thrilled with my cut and left feeling great! I will definitely be going back to my new regular salon!

I called them around 1pm and wanted a haircut that day and they were able to fit me in within half an hour since they closed at 3. The woman that cut my hair was very talented, she did a great job and was very friendly and enjoyable to talk with while she was cutting my hair. They were a little pricey but since I was nervous to find a new hairdresser it was worth the money.
