Called and spoke to the manager and to their credit he refunded the cost of the cut. Really nice lady, but not technically savvy I asked for layers, instead I got something I told her I absolutely didn't want, Which is a mullet. Her version of lightening up thick hair was to just sheer it from the scalp down. Did not even really clean up the ends of the hair and the front was not touched at all. Confused. The only way to correct is to cut the hair even shorter somewhere else. read more

I had an appointment with Arjola for cut and color. She both colored my roots and gave me highlights. I was delighted with the results. She was kind and pleasant throughout. I emerged feeling well tended and happy. Thank you, Arjola! read more

Nassim & Capelli Salon, thank you so much for such great experience! My hair: Super dark , 3b curly. My goal: Very full blonde highlights. My result:Just perfect. Gorgeous Platinum ringlets. (It was also a correction job.) I'm so picky with my hair! I couldn't be any happier with Nassim's work. He listens and knows his stuff! The salon also is so adorable. It's calming and cozy, in a nice spot near the sq. read more

I really didn't like my hair after this... definitely wouldn't recommend. Worse than mediocre. Not worth the price.

for asian hair that is slightly frizzy and coarse- this hair salon might not be the best for you. the layers came out uneven and really choppy, it looks like someone just randomly cut different parts of my hair read more

I strongly recommend this Salon! I got my haircut by Nasim and loved it. He was super helpful in determining what haircut would look good on me and suggested a great leave in conditioner for hair type. read more

I booked a partial and roots. When I walked in, the two men sitting in the salon just looked at me. I introduced myself and one of them, as it turns out my stylist Pierre, pointed to a chair. He hardly spoke to me the entire time. It was a very weird vibe. When he did talk, he mumbled and I could barely understand him. He slapped the root color on without any barrier cream, I had to use a Kleenex to prevent myself from having brush strokes on my forehead. The highlights came out ok and I just wanted to get the h out of there but when I went to pay, they tried to tack on an additional $50 for a toner. The stylist had said nothing about an extra charge (I thought that was included in the price but I could be wrong but also, $50?). When I got home and looked closer I was shocked to see how bad the highlights were under the top layer (see photos). I would not recommend this salon. read more

I've been really nervous to try a new salon and finally decided to give Capelli's a try and am SO glad I did. My only regret is that I did not go to them sooner! I absolutely LOVE how the coloring and hair cut came out. Feruc is passionate about hair coloring and is patient and thorough with the process. I took his recommendations and am so happy with the final product. I will definitely be a return customer! read more

Wow! How do you not love this hair and color! I wanna give 5+ stars. I've never walked out of a salon with better quality hair and feeling genuinely happy. I've always just assumed that hair coloring, especially bleaching, would damage the hair. Overall service from Nassim- knowledgeable, caring, and done from the heart. These were the services I had at Capelli: - Consultation (free) - Diamond Treatment - Balayage (picture) - Coloring (picture) - Blow Out + A little bit of fun with iron curling (picture) I needed consultation because my hair was very dark and not very well maintained, so the ends were dying. I also have natural frizzy waves, so normally I get a straight perm before styling. Nassim saw the pictures I pinned and advised against another perm that would damage the hair even more. Instead he suggested a more protective route, the diamond treatment. The diamond treatment made my hair super shiny and soft. As a result, my frizz went away... magically. The balayage was actually done on the same day prior to the treatment, even though most people do them on separate days. I was on a time crunch. As a result, he bleached my hair prior to the treatment so it could share the protection. The picture with blonde ends is the intermediary state after treatment and before coloring. He was very careful with the balayage. He said that when the colors fade, he wanted to make sure I would look good still. And I love the natural gradient he created. Really good technique. I asked him where he was trained, and he said at his home country in Syria, and also several training trips made in Dubai with L'Oreal. For coloring, I asked for red with a little bit of orange. He did a little more red because he said red fades to orange over time. The waviness was a look I wanted but is only temporary. He said it wasn't possible to perm large waves like that haha. Luckily I have a curling iron at home. He pointed me to Keratin shampoos, sulfer-free conditioners, and treatments to maintain my hair quality, in addition to the red shampoo I already have from a long time ago to maintain the color longer. He said the colors take a while to fade, but I can always go back for a tonal. My stylist was Nassim, but there were 2 other hair professionals there. One of them does eyebrow threading too ($12? I heard), and the other of them is really great at blow outs. I see a lot of people going in for those and all walk out looking beautiful. Half of the customers have dark long hair like me, and others were quite blonde. Most of their hair quality's better than mine haha - That's how you can tell the salon really takes care of their clients. At one point I saw a client was walking out from her blow outs, Nassim called her back in because it wasn't perfect yet, he trimmed her hair while standing up as a finishing touch as she was about to walk away... Honestly bravo. Book an appointment as this place gets busy! read more

Capellis was great, called last minute and he was able to squeeze me in for a quick cut and overall it looks great. My hair was very dead and damaged at the ends. I was also looking for more layers/movement in my hair and a little bang trim. Overall got what I was looking for. The only reason it's not five stars is because I don't think any sort of heat protectant or oil/serum was applied to my very dry/brittle hair before going at it with a pretty hot dryer. Otherwise great!! (Color not by capelli) read more

i was booked for the wrong appointment, my hair did not turn out how I wanted it. they over processed my hair. the receptionist seemed bored and annoyed when asked a question. The stylists were overbooked and seemed to be rushing through. read more

Excellent customer service. Pleasant, not in a hurry, and super friendly. Spent time to discuss my needs and cut exactly how I wanted.

I am Turkish and I have very very very high standards of a hairdresser. Needless to say, I was disappointed with every hair cut that I've got in the US in the past 13 years that I am living here. After every haircut I gave another hairdresser a chance until I went ti Capelli Salon yesterday. I finally do not have to go back to Turkey to get a haircut. Nasim delivered exactly what I showed him on a picture. I found my new permanent hairdresser y'all. I highly recommend him. read more

Great haircut, nice people, good price! I was pleasantly surprised & impressed with this cute place.

Excellent customer service. I needed quarters for the meters and the girl stopped cutting a clients hair and helped me out! Amazing and so kind. Thanks:) read more

Nasim did a great job. I walked in and told him generally what I wanted and he understood immediately and knew how to make it happen and then some. I asked him for advice on other looks for me and respected that he gave his honest opinion rather than just saying everything would work (bangs on a round faced, big woman who hasn't had them since age 10 - not the best idea, I chalk it up to covid. Thank you for saving me from myself!). And so reasonably priced at $45. I will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Nasim at Capelli for 6-7 months now for hair color, but this was my first time getting a haircut. Can I say he is fantastic, I am so glad with the results. I can't praise him enough for his talent and professionalism. read more

Big shout-out to Wendy! Hair colorist extraordinaire- I've been coming to Wendy for 6 months and she is not only a lovely human being but extremely talented with corrective hair color- Today I walked in with a bad strawberry blonde look and walked out to rave reviews from my husband and friend (who I met for dinner; she wants to make an appointment with Wendy!) While I was paying her for my wonderful new look, two little girls came in for haircuts. Wendy was so charming with them and her mother; it was so clear how safe they felt with her. Wendy is a really beautiful human being, incredibly intelligent, and so talented. Highly recommend this lovely woman! read more

Great haircut, great staff, very affordable. Nice selection of hair products. Good location and hours.

Great blowout! Fast, kind, and very satisfied with the result. Would return again or recommend to friends.

Nassim is incredible. He did my balayage back in October and I've been going to him for my haircuts. I highly recommend him--especially for anyone with thick hair. He knows how to properly cut thick hair which is hard to find. Thank you, Nassim! read more
