This is the BEST Salon I've found in Milwaukee!! Hands Down! The Receptionist is Always sweet, helpful & professional. Ive never had to wait walking in for anything and getting offered a beverage while waiting (if I had to for 5/8min TOPS!) Was surprising and I knew I was at the right place. All the men who work there are Masters of their Crafts! read more

Asked for a haircut that's very textured and voluminous to work with my naturally wavy, thick hair, and even showed multiple photo examples, but I walked out looking like Dora the Explorer. The haircut was $95 and he spent more time straightening my hair (again, the opposite of what I wanted) than cutting it. Will not be going back. read more

I tried to get a refund because I've had to go in to get them put back in 4 times in 3 weeks. The last 5 days, 33 extensions fell out, but Munem, the owner, says I have a medical condition. I will post a screenshot of our conversation. I spoke to bellami hair, and they told me that you aren't even supposed to reuse the hair. Stylist has reused all the hair I've brought back that has fell out my head. I've had extensions before and they never fell out... read more

I had the best Blow out EVER and my daughter's color and cut looked amazing. Our stylist was very professional. I would highly recommend Capricio. read more

I thought the haircut was fine and blowout was pretty but it was was nothing like what i asked for even after i showed photos of what i wanted. I have naturally wavy hair, and wanted a long style to compliment it. Of course i said i loved it to be nice, but its not like they could put the hair back on my head. My hair was PLENTY long enough for what I had asked by the way. Ive been growing it out for years and years. Will not be returning here. read more

This salon is extremely overpriced! I went in for a simple trim and highlights and spent over 4 hours in the chair. The stylist I had did not seem experienced at all. He left the highlights in too long and they bled and looked very brassy. He attempted to tone them two times to fix the brass color but all that did was make the low lights incredibly platinum while the top highlights were supposed to be a golden blonde. After hours of bring there the stylist new I was not happy and asked if I wanted him to toner my hair a THIRD time. I told him no and that I just wanted to leave. I was charged $300 for full highlights and a trim. I was not happy. They knew I was very dissatisfied and said I could come back the next day if I was still unhappy. I did not take them up on the offer, because I was scared it would just get worse. I recently took my business to another nearby salon and paid half the price for a cut and full color change. Overall, I am never going here again be because of the price and lack of experienced staff. Be read more

I am very picky when it comes to my hair. My first time getting my hair done here and I was very impressed. I have dark hair and have been trying to go lighter for a few years now. Every where I go they tell me it cannot be done. However, Tarek was able to get my low lights to a beautiful blonde without jeopardizing my hair. It turned out beautifully. I now take my daughter here as well. They do an amazing job!! Tarek was very professional, told me everything up front and what I should expect realistically. I will definitely be returning to see Tarek. read more

I bought a Groupon for a Brazilian blowout, which promises to leave you with hair that is shiny, dries faster, and doesn't frizz (even in humidity!) for3-5 months. My first appointment was with a relatively new stylist and the treatment did not work properly. I contacted the salon and let them know that there was no change in my hair following the (rather expensive) treatment. The owner of the salon and his team worked to understand my complaints and booked me to come back in. The owner himself did the treatment again and it has worked wonderfully! I'm very happy with it. My hair air dries with less frizz and is "behaving" more than it ever has. Quick note: they prefer to use a Moehair keratin treatment that works similarly to the Brazilian blowout products but is reportedly lower maintenance to maintain. If you want the actual BB product, then just know to request it and they can use that instead. read more

Not only received a bad haircut but their service was the worst i have ever received. The owner is a selfish man who doesn't care about his customers. He is greedy. And his employees don't know what they are doing. The front desk is really rude. Worst salon/customer experience ever! Tell everyone! read more

I have been going to this salon for years and I live in Brookfield and make the trip each time. I see the owner Munem and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. He does a great job with my color and cuts-always! He and his staff do great extensions as I aways see young and older women getting them and they look great. I would highly recommend this hair salon if you are looking for someone to truly take care of your hair!! read more

My daughter had extensions put in her hair. Her scalp started bleeding and I had to take her to the hospital. The doctor said he has never witnessed this before and prescribed anyone never to go to this salon. For your own health and well being warn all you know to never step foot into this business. This is a safety review. read more

Muneum is a pro with hair cuts! I have tried quite a few hairstylists recently & no one could get my hair the way I wanted it. He did! Muneum & his assistant also did a excellent job cutting my 2 yr old sons hair :) Thanks guys! read more

I went here in 2013, my hair was so butchered it took YEARS to fix, after I had told the lady I was growing my hair out for my wedding. She even tried to cover how and it was by doing a big barrel blow out, but then continued to cut upward and into layer despite what I had requested. I left a bad reviews everything. Now in 2019, I have opted out of list MULTIPLE times, written back to be deleted and they are still spamming me. Avoid at all costs. Absolutely wretched. read more

I had no idea what to expect at this place because i haven't been. I was very impressed with how Laith colored and styled my hair. 4 stars because he could of been more gentle with washing my hair and blow drying it. I mean it was a Friday night so i don't blame him for rushing that part. will for sure go back. read more

I originally gave this salon 2 stars after my first visit, which was recommended by my boss, but after calling in for a complaint, I now rate this salon 1 star. I booked for a full head of highlights and haircut/style, only to receive half my head highlighted and my hair uneven, and i didn't even complain about the hair color not turning out right. They then charged me full price for a full head of highlights & haircut. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to pay the price if I get what I asked & payed for. But I didn't. So when I called in the next day to talk to the owner, instead of breaking it down & explaining calmly or doing something about it, he out right attacked me and said that I said this and that about the stylist (which I didn't). Never got a "sorry" or anything. Instead he told me "I think you should have gone to a different salon" & "we don't want your business here". The level of professionalism here is so low, its unthinkable. I'm not a picky person, but when a complaining paying customer needs a problems fixed, at least have decent customer service skills to handle a simple problem. read more

Gee, I think its funny that I got this nasty message from a user whose account has since been closed after posting my review- "Just wondering why all your salons Reviews are negative? Capricio salon, Twisted cissors and Halo?? Wonder if you ever happy with your hair?? the other positive thing that you have good positive reviews for resturants?? you do the math." Good Lord, Capricio, stop... read more

I went to this Salon for a color this month and it faded in 2 weeks. The original color was great, although very expensive (150+), and it went exactly as I asked. I reached out to the owner to facilitate some help as this was a pricey temporary color. They offered to re-do my entire color... at full price which I think isn't much of a solve. So my lower vote is for price and after-service. read more

Best haircut ever! Tarek was phenomenal. He was meticulous and made sure my layers hit just right. The blow out had my hair with bend for days and so much volume! I forgot my hair could look this look. Thank you Tarek for bringing my hair back to life! read more

I've never had a bad experience here. I've only gone for eyebrow threading and waxing. Munem and Meg always do a good job threading. Meg does the waxing, and I appreciate that she is very thorough, friendly, and knows how to keep conversation going to distract from the pain of waxing! Staff is always welcoming. Prices Are a bit steep for my college budget, but you get what you pay for! read more

I've never been so pleased with any hair salon/ spa services before. They offer many services at affordable prices. I got a coupon through my perks about 6 months ago, and I woukdnt go anywhere else now. Meg rocks! read more

I visited this salon a number of times throughout 2013 and 2014 however I decided to not return despite the salon employing some very talented stylists. Spa services: five stars for sure. I received waxing, tanning, massage and facial service and they were all excellent. They have a secluded and relaxing back room at the Jackson St. location. Jessica is fantastic and the prices were a bit high, but not totally unreasonable considering the service. Hair services: Just as many reviewers have mentioned before me, Munem is the owner and has his own prices. They are crazy expensive considering he double and triple books clients. He literally would apply a handful of foils to my color, disappear to other clients, then come back for the cut, and be unavailable until the end of the appointment. I kept coming back because I'm not from the area and am a busy college student and didn't want to change salons. The last straw for me was when I got extensions done and they ended up costing way more than expected. On top of the cost they were constantly falling out! They looked fabulous for two weeks then I would loose at least 10 pieces every time I washed and dried my hair. Munem never took responsibility for it and it was a waste of money overall. read more

There seems to be some mixed reviews at Capricio Salon and Spa on Oakland. Mainly, my high rating for this company is resulted from impressive haircut services from Kami. I highly recommend Kami because she is experienced in hair and spa for around half a decade. I have been her client for one year. Initially, she fixed my unmanageable haircut (from a previous stylist), and continues to succeed my haircut requests. Her vibrant personality matches her talent! Kami specializes in makeup, hair styling, haircuts, coloring, and is also certified in Keratin and Brazilian Blowout Services. Kami always knows the latest hairstyles and products. read more

The staff is welcoming from start to finish! The receptionist offered a variety of drinks. My stylist asked a series of questions to get to know me and how I like my hair to look. She took all of my responses into consideration when she cut my hair. I said I wanted my ends cleaned up and that's exactly what she did, also adding some movement and face framing. There were no surprises! The place has a trendy vibe. They sell a variety of products as well (Redkin, Moroccan oil, more). My stylist recommended products that would benefit my hair, but the "sale" did not feel high pressure. read more

Since my last review my stylist has left and I have not gone back. I have received a couple of email coupons, but they weren't really great deals. None that were worth a hair-risk. That being said, I've already tried someplace new I really don't have the desire to go back, especially based on other reviews - I think I may have gotten lucky with my the stylist I had that left. The shop is cute, it's in a nice area (despite the parking being a challenge, as I mentioned in my last review). To my knowledge, they still carry the same products and they still offer reminders, but I didn't feel the "warm and fuzzy" that would encourage me to go bad and replace my previous stylist. For the most part, I visited here because I enjoyed my stylist. In this type of environment I think you're really loyal to the service provider, not the establishment. I didn't trust the establishment with cutting my hair correctly, I trusted the stylist. If you need a haircut or basic salon services, it might be worth checking out as it is a "campus salon" (as another reviewer put it). Ysenia was great. She was sweet and competent, not too chatty. I do miss her and I have since changed salons. If you can score someone like her, then you'll be all set. read more

I highly recommend going to Capricio if you have natural curly hair! They did a wonderful job getting it perfectly straight. I also had a conditioning treatment done and my hair was left feeling so soft and it looked so shiny afterwards!! read more

I had my very long, curly hair straightened via Keratin treatment at Capricio, and my experience was fantastic. My stylist was very thorough with the time-consuming process, and pleasant to chat with. And the results were wonderful! For the first time in my life I had perfectly straight hair with zero frizz and no damage to my hair. I couldn't be happier with the results. read more

Went for a blow out today after making the appointment more than a week in advance. My stylist was "running late" and two other stylists worked on my hair making it not the greatest. Munem continued to try and upsell me and insisted I needed my hair trimmed today when I was looking for a simple treat getting a blow out. Needless to say, an hour and a half after my original appointment time, my stylist still had not shown up and I left more than a little disappointed in the service I did get. I could have gotten the same results with my flat iron at home. read more

Listen. Please save your money, your time, your sanity. I had found a Groupon for a airbrush spray tan. I'm thinking, yes this will be great for when I go on vacay. Great idea! After I've been scheduled for some time, I get a phone call a couple hours prior to my appt asking can I move my appt up. Yeah sure I would love to however, it's not that easy. I explained I was at work I can see what I can possibly do. Was offered the next afternoon but I am leaving the next morning. Looooong story short. I get there. Girl at the desk has attitude seeping from her pours. I say who I am, gives me a form to fill, as I'm filling out paper, very dryly ask " have you ever spray tanned before?" I reply no, she runs off the don'ts short and sweat. Get to the room gives me instructions blah blah blah. Did she ask me how dark, how light, so on and do forth. Uh. No. My face is nice and toast, my shins and calf's and back of arms. Oh they are shining bright like the moon. My husband has been calling me a Dalmatian because my tan is spotted in those areas which is not a way to start your vacay. Yes I'm going to the beach anyhow but to be tan already and not having to burn by the sun first is ideal. read more

I didn't do my research so I'm partly to blame. I thought I was getting Japanese straightening. I got Matrix Opti Smooth which is not that. It smells even after a few weeks and my hair is dry. My hair is straight but the individual strands still have kinky texture to them. I hate it. Next time I will ask questions before anything touches my hair. read more

I had a very strange experience at Capricio. I used to go here all of the time because I loved the girl that did my hair. Even though it was pretty pricey ($170 for highlight + cut) she did a wonderful job. I had an appointment at their Oakland location right after their downtown location closed for just a trim. I received a phone call the day of my appointment informing me that my stylist no longer works here but that they can still fit me in a half hour later than my originally scheduled appointment. I agree, and am shampooed and dried by a stylist. Then the owner, Munem, cut my hair. While cutting my hair one of the other associates informed him that someone had left the salon because they were waiting for too long. He stopped cutting my hair and I sat there while he went and handled it. After awhile he came back and finished. The other stylist blow dried me and I was on my way. When I went to pay, they tried to charge me $60 for the trim because that is Munem's price. Normally, with my old stylist I paid about $40. I informed the cashier that I originally had an appointment with someone who charged $40 and she argued with me that this is the price for Munem. I was about to pay the full price when ANOTHER cashier stopped and said she would go ask Munem who then said I could pay the original price. So that was all fine and good, until about a week later I received a phone call from Munem asking me why I had left negative feedback on the survey that the salon had emailed me asking about my experience. Instead of apologizing, he left me a message arguing with every aspect about the things I had said I didn't like (him stopping my haircut mid-cut, the salon trying to overcharge me, the overall chaos of the situation). Just weird. If you're going to try to rectify a situation with an unhappy customer, don't try to argue your way out of it. I was a loyal customer to this salon before but will not be returning. read more

I wasted a lot of money here. Munem, the owner who did my hair, was impatient and very unprofessional. After sitting down, I had to wait for him to finish fooling around with his Facebook before he started on my hair! He spent three minutes cutting and his "assistant" did the rest. He got a comb stuck in my cartilage earring twice and nearly burned my scalp with the blow dryer. In the end, I was unsatisfied with how uneven my hair was so he had to go back and redo one side, making my hair way shorter than I wanted. Do not go here. I would recommend Les Ciseaux. read more

Previously I commented on Capricio and said that I was upset how they didn't offer any coupons for current members, only new customers. Before I tell you about my new experience, I want to tell you about how my negatives have turned into positives. I learned now they offer coupons for not only new customers but also continuing customers. I was very impressed with their makeup/skin care punch coupons, and also the $10 gift card referral process. They are cards you can give out to your friends to recommend them to Capricio. The great thing is that the referral card gives them $10 off a service. Also something very creative that I experienced was a fun promotion where you picked a flower stick out of the pot and whatever percentage on the back of it is how much you can get off of the selection of product that they offer. This was extremely creative which I haven't seen at other salons. These may seem like small things but these little perks keep customers and myself coming back. Also I enjoy having these perks offered because not only do I enjoy them but my friends and family do. It's great being able to refer someone to a salon that has fun promotions and coupons going on. Besides this big change I have experienced here is the rest of my exceptional experience: I went to Capricio for the first time in probably 1-2 years for a cut and highlight correction. I had a serious hair disaster at a Brookfield hair salon and went to Capricio because I was recommended by a friend and it's conveniently located 5 blocks from me by UWM. I went in and honestly thought to myself I don't care what she does but I just need my highlights corrected! Well I was absolutely impressed from the minute I walked into the door. I loved the upscale decor and how they had a great selection of product. There were TV's around so the customers had something to watch. Also they have a great makeup station. I liked that it wasn't hidden because you can see right away what makeup they offer. Right away the receptionist took my bag and coat to hang up. She offered me a drink and I didn't even have to wait 5 minutes to be called for my appointment. The receptionist delivered my coffee to me which I was also really impressed with. When I sat down I explained the horrible situation that I got myself into (which was incredibly embarrassing), and how I needed my hair to be fixed since I had been wearing a hat for the past 3 days. She went through a thorough consultation with me. We talked about the products I use and how when she is done fixing my hair the suggested products can help improve the quality of my hair and color even more. I really liked how she also discussed the positive and negatives of the current products I was using. She didn't immediately tell me what I was currently using was incorrect, she gave me the positives and then showed how it wouldn't benefit me because of the condition my hair was in and the types of highlights I told her I wanted to achieve. During the process of fixing my hair she explained step by step what was going on. From when she was mixing the dye to why she was folding the foil in my hair. During the conditioning and wash process the head massage was fabulous! Also she put a hot towel on my head while the conditioner was sitting. While the conditioner was sitting there were cameras above the washing stations so I didn't have to just sit there and stare. It was very convenient and relaxing. Lastly, I know this may seem tedious but I have a weird quirk..the bathroom can make it or break it by a star. Bathrooms can be so gross and it's necessary to have a clean facility because germs spread like wild fire!! Now with that being said...the bathroom was immaculate. It was so clean I was impressed. Also I loved the contemporary look of it. It is rare when I find a place that I like from top to bottom. Overall the experience was an exceptional one. I was very impressed and they now have a new customer! I would definitely recommend Capricio! Ahh- I am so pumped with my hair now! read more

Went there a couple of times. The owner does not have time to actually see you through the whole haircut and blow dry process. He lets you sit with wet hair while he runs around assisting other customers and stops by to cut your hair in between. Then, he passes you off to someone who supposedly knows how to blow hair. It took about an hour for this person to blow dry my hair at which point the owner took over. I asked owner not to razor my hair and instead he took the scissors and sliced through making my already frizzy hair more unmanageable, after which he states, your hair does not respond well to razor or slicing. Really? Overpriced, over rated place. Never again! read more

I've now received two phone calls from Capricio since writing my initial review. One was a clear attempt at trying to get me to take down the review, and just now asking if I would come back to the salon. read more

I got a coupon in the mail from this company for eyebrow waxing, I had to try this because it was free. They did exactly what I wanted. The staff is very friendly and I was offered something to drink the moment I walked in. They have another location in the basement in the Union at UW Milwaukee. You can find the coupons around the East side. I found a huge stack at Stonecreek Coffee shop in Shorewood. read more

I went to the downtown location (the old glow - 765 Jackson) as a first time customer for a spray tan. Everyone was really friendly, from the phone call booking the appointment, to checking out at the end. I got an airbrush tan from Megan and she did a great job! I will definitely be going back if i need a nice glow for my next big event :) read more

It was easy to get an appointment. I used their online system on Friday afternoon and got in Saturday morning at 9 AM for a consult. Receptionist was wonderful. Fresh cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I was looking to have hair extensions done. Munum, the owner, was honest with me. My hair was too short for extensions. I appreciate the honesty. He gave me a 30% off card for my first service. read more

I came here early in the week and it wasn't very busy, I was put in a chair and they started to work on me immediately after. The owner of the salon had a good idea of the look I was going for and began my treatments right away. He recommended that I get a glaze done, which would take the golden hues out of my hair (the brassy look is the worst!). At first my hair felt very stiff and I noticed that more so when my hair was getting brushed during the drying process. However, after the Brazilian blowout was done, I was very pleased with the results! I left with my hair silky smooth and have never had a service like this before! read more

Very nice people at this salon. It was my first time going there and I think I'll be back. I only got my hair cut but they have a wide variety of services which I'd be interested in trying. They also fit me in last minute which was very surprising! My only criticism of the place was that it seemed a bit expensive compared to other salons I've been to. $50 is what I usually pay and somehow I ended up paying nearly $75 after my 20% tip. I'm not really sure if I got charged for something extra and they didn't notify me. Either way I enjoyed my time in there. I hate going to a salon where I just feel like another head in the room. It didn't feel that way at all at this salon. read more

This salon rocks, I love it! I live near it and I love catching glimpses of the pretty ladies that visit. They're great neighbors and Ive been leeching their Internet for months :) But no I've never been there before, looks good?.. read more
