Karis Braiding & Beauty Studio

Karis Braiding & Beauty Studio is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania hair salon that pairs braiding and silk press work with a signature Japanese Head Spa.

The studio's website lists braids (knotless, box and boho), locs, silk press, luxury wig installs, facials and facial waxing alongside the head spa. Its Japanese Head Spa is described as a way to relax and restore the scalp, nourish the hair and support overall wellness. Some clients book it together with a braiding appointment, and one reviewer paired it with Fulani braids.

Reviewers describe a clean, modern space and a friendly, welcoming team. One mentioned a shampoo chair that reclines fully flat, a blanket, snacks and water, and a spot to set down a bag or work. Another praised the neat, precise parting on their braids. A few reviewers raised concerns about braid sizing, pricing and communication, so it helps to confirm your style, size and price before you book.

The studio suits anyone who wants a head spa session in a full-service salon, especially people who also want braids, locs, a silk press or a wig install. The website says it has served clients since 2013.
