Studio Booth Receives The 1% Award — Elite Consumer Satisfaction 2026

Two boxes arrived at the studio this week, and we're proud to open them with you. Studio Booth Salon & Spa has received The 1% Award for Elite Consumer Satisfaction 2026 from the Consumer Ratings Institute, naming us a Pittsburgh Favorite — along with CRI's Breakthrough Business Award, 2026 Winner.

The Consumer Ratings Institute doesn't take submissions or entry fees. Its Awardy platform reads verified customer reviews and recognizes the businesses that rise to the very top of their city — the one percent. In our case, that's a 4.8-star rating across more than 340 client reviews.

Awards are nice. What they reflect is nicer. Every one of those reviews is a person who sat in one of our chairs in Bakery Square and left feeling more like themselves — a color that finally looked the way they pictured it, a cut that grew out beautifully, a facial that reset a hard week, a wedding morning that went exactly to plan. That's the work. The rating just keeps score.

What our clients keep telling us

Reading through the reviews, a few things come up again and again: the specialists. Studio Booth is built around eight dedicated disciplines — hair color and cuts, textured hair, extensions, custom facials, nails, waxing, brows and lashes, and wedding and event styling — each led by someone who has spent their career on exactly that. Clients notice. Many have been with the same stylist for a decade or more.

In the press

The announcement was carried by more than 1,000 news outlets nationwide, including AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider, along with local television, newspaper and radio sites across the country.

Thank you, Pittsburgh

To everyone who took a minute to write a review, refer a friend, or simply keep coming back since 2010 — thank you. This one belongs to you and to the team that earns it every day.
