I have been trying to find someone who would give me the highlights I wanted: two other people made them too blond/light/unnatural. Caitlyn for what I wa yes after about 20 seconds and gave me the perfect highlights. I also found her really friendly. Will be back for hghlighta See most recent review. They cancelled an appointment I made 2 months earlier the night before the appointment because they made a scheduling mistake that meant that their stylist would have to stay 15 minutes late. They were unapologetic and rude. Am not going back! read more

I used to go to the son Nick when he was in the hyde park local and followed him stupidly to the new salon since he was the boss. I now realize how bad i was treated since I got a new person. I guess I was too much a "little person" for him to deal with. Once he was blowing dry my hair and passed me off in mid blow out never mind the chating in Italian over my head to others in the shop. Seriously dude you are so not that important and actually not that good either. read more

I've been going to Gina at the Highlands location for TEN years. in that time she almost never ran on time, and certainly NEVER apologized for keeping you waiting (even when you're sitting in the chair and she's chatting with colleagues). last week was the last straw. After waiting 45 minutes past my appt time (if they knew she was running that late, they couldn't call to tell me??) i took off my robe, put it on the counter and walked out. Gina gives a good cut but acts like she's doing YOU a favor - not that you're doing HER the favor by patronizing her business. i naively thought that, as a customer for ten years, i might get a phone call from her. Nope. So, although i always liked her cuts, it's goodbye to you, Salon Capri. read more

I have been all over the place looking for a decent cut, no attitude, and some level of attentiveness and Salon Capri has it. I go to Blanid and she does a great job, is very friendly, does everything herself and I never am ignored or have to wait. Prices are comparable to everywhere else I've been...from Newbury St. to Fresh Hair to Dellaria....but ultimately I think a place depends on who you go see there, not the place in general because you can have crappy service from one person and great service from another...(but still, on the whole, one likes consistency)...anyway...I like the layout of this place too (bright and airy), and it's easy to get to by T. Go see Blanid...she's great. read more

I liked Salon Capri, a friend recommended it because I was looking for a complete change in my look and Gina (owner) was worth every penny. She was attentive and just as excited about getting creative with my hair. It is a bit pricey, but worth it for a good cut and color. The front desk could be more on the ball and engage with the client a bit; but that was my only complaint. Call at least a week in advance for an appointment and bring cash for tip. read more

I am so annoyed that I took a chance on this place while I was visiting my sister. I had to get my color redone THREE times. I understand that color can be tough and that people don't always have the same definition of "natural," or whatever, but when I went back the third time I was super specific-make this terribly placed and stripey highlight disappear-and it didn't happen, so then the assistant did it, making it then the FOURTH time someone worked on the problem. There was a month between visits because I live out of town but I paid full price for this last service, which again, was a correction that needed to corrected AGAIN, and my hair is now way darker than I wanted. I spent more money and way more time than I wanted dealing with a dye job that no one has ever struggled with and still left unhappy. read more

I have been here a couple of times for a cut and blow dry but I did not get excellent service either time. The haircuts were just okay and I felt like I could have styled my hair better than how I walked out the second time. Yes, I have had better. read more

I had a good experience with hair cut and color. I'm writing to warn people about something I found odd. After my service they emailed me a survey to complete. When I followed the link, 100% of the surveys they posted were 5 star. This leads me to believe they are heavily editing which reviews they post. I guess that's their right but it made me not really trust them. read more

I've been going to salon Capri for probably 7 years or more. My stylist Jillian is the best and I think she does such a good job. The front desk is always friendly. The only bonus would be to offer their customers a class if wine which would be awesome!! read more

I have been getting my hair cut by Nick for years. He consistantly gives me an up to date, classy haircut. He has a profesional attitude and the skill to match. From the front desk to the shampoo bowl, the staff is always pleasant and helpful. read more

I have been going to Candyce for brows for years and will follow her to the ends of the earth. I will literally get on a plane to get my brows waxed by her when she is discovered by Hollywood and move out there to work on movie stars. The first time I walked in she promptly informed me that my over-tweezed, over-arched brows were not flattering my face, and worked with me over the course of a year to shape them correctly. Eyebrows can absolutely change your entire appearance and I feel like a supermodel every time I leave the salon. read more

A good friend of mine recommended Mandy to me a few years ago. She had been getting her hair cut by Mandy for years and raved about her. At my first appt I remember thinking, as Mandy greeted me, "how is this petite little thing going to manage MY hair?!" I have super thick, very long hair. That sit gets heavy! I'm also suuuuper picky when it comes to my hair, so I was a little skeptical at first. Anyway, she was super sweet and listened carefully during our consultation to all my wants and needs. I'm needy! Just love me. So, long story short, she gave me the most incredible haircut! She is a genius with long thick hair. I felt like a celebrity with a super high end cut, and for the first time in my life I left a hair salon feeling truly satisfied with my hair (normally it takes me a couple weeks of styling to get happy with a new cut). I went to Mandy three more times after that for my haircuts but then, sadly, I moved to Maine, too far away to continue going to Salon Capri. However...it has now been 5 years since I moved and after many bad to mediocre haircuts in Portland, I've determined that I'm going to start going back to Mandy for my haircuts from now on. My parents still live in MA so I'll just book my haircuts whenever I visit them. Wish I decided to do this a long time ago. I could have saved myself from my most recent TERRIBLE haircut. Ugh. I digress. Salon Capri rulez. I turned my mom onto this salon too btw, and she has been seeing Denise for color for the past 5 years or so and loves her. And my mom is probably even more picky than I am! read more

I get my absolute best blow-outs here - Lauren knows just what to do with my curls and always uses the perfect products. The hair stylists have the mastered the balance of listening to your own ideas and giving their own advice! And they always do their best to fit me in - even when I give them far too short notice! read more

I would follow Paula to a salon at the ends of the earth. So I am extremely lucky that she is at Salon Capri. She is a master at her craft. She has an innate sense of what her clients want, and the results to prove it. As for the salon, it's fabulous. The vibe is hip and laid-back. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. From start to finish the experience here is a fantastic one. read more

Vanna! does an awesome haircut and blow dry! I highly recommend her to anyone. She works primarily in the NHighlands location but on Fridays at the Dedham location. I also want to say she did my baylage highlights and did a great job read more

Blanid is the BEST! Not only is Blanid super talented, she listens and creates unique looks for her clients. I have been her client for quite some time now, and I need to share that people always stop me on the street and want to know who my stylist is. She understands my style and works with me to develop innovative color (I am very particular and fussy about my color and want a signature look). Believe me, if you're looking for Manhattan talent in Newton, you will not be disappointed! read more

So went to see BethAnn my first time in the salon. Changed after my girl switched salons and the new place is to much of a pain to get to. I went in hoping for a good cut and walked out with a great cut. I received so many compliments today it was amazing. I haven't had a cut like this is... well not sure I have. Thank you so much and I agree the Salon is fantastic, parking is easy and I felt right at home. Going back in 3 weeks for some highlights. read more

After a disastrous cut and color at a different salon, Nicholas Jr (color) and Gina (cut), did a sensational repair and have me feeling great. Have received numerous compliments, thank you both ! read more

I have been following Kevin for years. He is the best at everything hair from a simple haircut to Balayage. I won't trust my hair with anyone but Kevin. Love you Kevin and all your talent you are blessed with:) read more

I don't post reviews often, but I have to say, Salon Capri is truly an awesome salon. First, you can book all of your appointments online even if you're a new client. It's easy and convenient! Second, they use the Kerastase line of hair cate products which I love! My first visit to the salon, I wanted to cut my very long hair shorter and dye it a difficult color. (Dark brown with peekaboo bright red highlights on my bangs) Jillian did a fantastic job! The red color kept for almost 4 weeks, which, if you've ever gone red, is a pretty good longevity. Then there was a little drama...Callie, one of the salon's stylists cut my hair about 4 inches shorter than I had intended. It was a miscommunication on my part and I freaked out. I really wish I hadn't! The cut was SO STUNNING! She is a real artist. My hair has grown out quite a bit since she cut it and it looks just as good as the day I left the salon. Go see her and trust her judgement! I get so many compliments on her cut! I went back to the salon to have my eyebrows done and Elena is the girl to see. She can shape your eyebrows perfectly! Today I saw Lauren to touch up my color. I love to have fun with my color and I like to let my colorist be creative. Lauren is definitely your girl for fresh, fun, inventive color. She crafted the perfect brown base color and added some extra pop to my red highlights. Really happy! The prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly, and the salon is immaculate. If you haven't visited salon capri yet, GO! read more

Really clean and sleek salon with friendly people. I tried Salon Capri once and have now been four times to see Callie at the Newton location. I rarely do anything more daring then a trim, but it is always exactly how I want it, and her blow outs are fantastic, my hair has body for a few days and keeps its shape for months before I need to return for a trim. I plan to continue using Callie as my stylist and am considering using her as my stylist for my wedding. Highly recommend! Prices are very reasonable as well. read more

I had an amazing hair appointment with Callie today!! I went in with pictures of a long bob that I wanted, and also an open mind. Callie offered really great suggestions about face framing that I hadn't considered, and I'm so glad she did because I love my new look!! The salon is very nice and much bigger than it seems from the outside. It truly feels like a "high class" experience and I will definitely be returning. read more

The staff were very nice and the place was clean. I did feel like my stylist didn't listen well to what I was asking for. My hair turned out fine, but honestly didn't look much different from when I walked in. Definitely overpriced! Parking can be a bit annoying. read more

I used to get my hair cut by Gina. I think that she is very nice and I enjoy talking with her. But, she was always running really late and then didn't take the time to blow-out my hair, rather she asked an assistant to do so. If I am paying the money to go the owner, then I would like her to style my hair from start to finish. I continued to go, though, b/c it's hard for me to find someone who gives me a good cut. This last time I went, my cut wasn't good, so I've decided to break-up with Salon Capri. read more

I first heard about Salon Capri on Chronicle years ago when they were doing "neighborhood bests". They focused on the young Nick Penna,(this was at the time @ their 1st location.....long before the Newton local.). I went to him, and loved my cuts, and colors. I followed him to the Newton local, and remained happy. Then he started getting more press for being so GOOD. Then he started to have assistants do most of his work for him. Also, he would keep increasing his prices...even though I was a LONG time client who sent afew of my friends to him(who by the way, were NOT impressed). He then seemed to be getting bored w/ cutting my hair, (which...I can understand can happen with clients), his ego was getting SO B I G it was a real turnoff. One of my last cuts he gave me(& charged big $$ for), he didn't take much off of my head. I spoke my best friend who's a stylist in San Diego, and she told me to go back in and tell him to take more off, & that as a professional he should not mind. WELL, He's not much of a professional, other then a Snob..... I could tell he was offended that I questioned his "work", and he wasn't happy about having to Correct his cut....Needless to say, I've since flown out to SD to get my cut, & see my friend.....a cheap flight to the west coast is the equivilant to a cut (that grows out WAY too soon) & a color at Salon Capri. So I have to AGREE w/ Maura D. & Kelley C..........Except for the fact that....I Don't mind if a stylist Doesn't converse w/ me.......I'd rather they FOCUS on their work, and not talk to ANYONE, @ great lengths, whether it be me, or their coworkers. read more

I had my hair cut by Nick several times. The hair cuts were fair. He cut my hair in less than ten minutes. However, he was always very unpofessional and unfriendly. Nick is definatley not worth the money. Also, front desk staff rude and Nick never ran on time. read more

Callie listened to my picky guidelines and preferences and checked in to make sure I was happy throughout. She was very sweet, easy to talk to, and made the haircut painless! read more

Is there more of a hair artist than Gina Pena at Salon Capri? She took care of my hair for years -- then, mainly for convenience, I started going elsewhere. Did that for a few years til one of the "others" messed things up so much that I actually shaved my head and started over. Back to Gina -- and already she's shaping my slow-growing mane into something that may wind up being somewhat attractive. She's not only a "hair magician" -- she's a great boss, mother, grandmother -- and has, over the years, become a dear friend. Nice to be back in her care. read more

I've been coming here for years. Followed Candyce here. She has been doing my waxing and she is THE BEST!

I love this salon because of my great color/stylist, Callie. She's always willing to try and squeeze me in, gives me ideas when I need a change, and always does a great job. I also love that I can book my appointments online. read more

I have been three times and loved my hair cut each time. Best part is the hair cut is only $50! Thats rare given how nice the salon is.

Holly cut my hair and did a wonderful job. She listened and did exactly what I asked for. She was friendly and great to talk to. I will definitely be back! read more

When I went into the salon, the receptionist was very nice and the shampoo girl did a great job. At that point, the customer service seemed promising. Then I waited for about a half hour to get my hair cut. Vonna, the person who had cut my hair, did not seem friendly at first and was curt. I asked for a simple cut - layers starting at my chin and down. I ended up with sidebangs, making me look like a naive 14 year old going to a disney channel audition. This is not me at all, and I'm very uncomfortable with this cut. The stylist should have paid more attention to what I wanted rather than going with her own instincts. During the cut, she also put a nest of hair in front of my face, not neatly clipping it, making me very uncomfortable. I had also specially asked her NOT to blow dry my hair straight, which is exactly what she did. Going in, I just wanted a simple cut. I ended up with sidebangs, which I had just grown out after many years, and extreme dissatisfaction with my hair. Now whenever I go to the gym, I'll have to wear a headband because of the bangs. I waited so long for my hair to grow out, and the stylist totally messed it up. I don't know why she thought she could do whatever she wanted on her own instinct and tastes. I left the salon very angry. However, the pro's on the salon is that the kerastase treatment was great, and the overall cut of the hair looked good. It just was not for me or what I asked for. It looks way too edgy and I'm more of the person to prefer plainer hair, like Gwyneth Paltrow's. read more

Follow up - Another stylist cleaned up my cut by a junior stylist for free. I go to Blanid now & I really like her. She cuts my toddler's hair too for a very reasonable price. My husband goes to Vonna & has been happy with her. read more

Salon Capri was recommended to me, as I have had years of trouble finding the right stylist since moving from New Jersey. I saw Brittany S. in Newton and have been so happy with my highlight (she does balayage on my hair). I have been back 3 times and my hair has never looked or felt this good. My cut was fabulous too! I loved it all. I recommend Brittany to anyone and everyone! Her prices are pretty reasonable and my blow dry lasts for 3-4 days. read more

I took a risk and made an appointment for a partial highlight and cut without a consultation and was EXTREMELY happy with the results. I can't speak highly enough about my experience. First and foremost, Jillian C.listened to my concerns about chunky strips of blonde, splotches of brightness at the roots, and my wish in keeping a natural brown/blonde look as it grew out. She did all that and more, I also walked out with a great haircut! I was in and out within two hours and spent a fraction of what I used to spend at other reputable salons. Believe me, I've been to many and was losing hope of finding a professional that knew what they were doing. Did I mention that Jillian C. is a very talented colorist/stylist? Well, it's worth mentioning again :) read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. I go to Jillian for my highlights and cuts. She's the only one I trust with my blonde hair. She keeps it looking natural and healthy and always knows exactly what I what! I have sent a lot of friends to her as well and all have been equally as happy! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the salon is always clean. read more

I have very thick hair and have a hard time having it cut short without it looking too bulky. However, I saw Holly at Salon Capri for the first time and she did a WONDERFUL job thinning out the bulkiness! I would definitely recommend going to see Holly if you have hair like mine. Overall, great place!! read more

I have only good things to say about Salon Capri. The people are uniformly talented and friendly. I have been a client for nearly three years. I do not name names here because I don't want to have to compete with you for time with my already busy colorist and stylist! read more

I see Marrissa and I love her work! She is really an exceptional hairdresser and colorist. Thank you, Marissa, for all of your hard work.
