Timeless Bridal Hairstyling, Thoughtfully Delivered | Christy Pickell & the Simply Captivating Salon Team
Hi, I’m Christy Pickell, founder of Simply Captivating Salon.
Simply Captivating Salon is a boutique, on-location bridal hairstyling team serving the Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and Ohio areas. We specialize exclusively in weddings and formal events, known for beautiful hair, professionalism, and a calm, seamless experience from start to finish.
With a background in public relations, corporate sales, and advanced cosmetology training, I’ve built Simply Captivating around structure, consistency, and care. Our carefully selected bridal team has worked with hundreds of clients, creating refined, long-lasting styles while keeping wedding mornings smooth and stress-free.
As a wife and mom of two, family is at the heart of my work. Being invited into such meaningful moments is a privilege we hold with great respect, and it’s an honor to serve our clients on days that will be remembered for generations.
Meet the Simply Captivating Team
Simply Captivating Salon is more than a single stylist. We are a carefully curated team of professional bridal hairstylists who share the same standards of excellence, reliability, and artistry.
Each team member is hand-selected and personally trained to ensure a consistent experience across every wedding we serve. From refined techniques to calm, confident energy on a wedding morning, our stylists are chosen not only for their talent, but for how they show up for our clients.
We specialize exclusively in weddings and formal events. That focus allows our team to move seamlessly through detailed timelines, work confidently with all hair types and textures, and create polished styles that photograph beautifully and hold up throughout the day.
When you book Simply Captivating Salon, you’re not just booking a hairstyle. You’re booking a team that works in sync, holds itself to a high standard, and is deeply invested in making you feel confident, relaxed, and taken care of.
We can’t wait to meet you.
Why We’re Different
At Simply Captivating Salon, weddings aren’t a side offering. They’re our specialty. We focus exclusively on bridal and formal event hair styling, which allows us to deliver a level of consistency, preparation, and professionalism that general salons or part-time wedding stylists simply can’t match.
Our difference is found in the details. From clear communication and realistic timelines to refined techniques and long-lasting styles, every part of our process is intentional. We prepare in advance, arrive fully equipped, and work seamlessly with planners, photographers, and other vendors to ensure the morning runs smoothly and without stress.
We also believe how a stylist shows up matters just as much as the hairstyle itself. Our team is trained to read the room, respect the significance of the day, and contribute to a calm, supportive atmosphere. Wedding mornings are emotional, and we treat them with the care they deserve.
Most importantly, we value trust. When you book Simply Captivating Salon, you’re choosing a team that honors your time, your vision, and the people you’re surrounded by. We don’t rush, overbook, or cut corners. We show up prepared, present, and committed to making your experience feel effortless.
That commitment to excellence, professionalism, and genuine care is what sets Simply Captivating Salon apart.
