I have been going to Salvo for 2 years now and he has absolute hands of gold. I won't let anyone else cut my hair. I have in the past and I was definitely underwhelmed. Once you go to Salvo, you won't want to go anywhere else. He has the patience of a saint (I get super scared anytime I have to cut my hair) and always does the most amazing work. He's a perfectionist. He's transformed my hair quite a few times. From caramel balayage to blonde, there is no one better. I have converted my friends to believers as well - I have even recommended my male friends to get haircuts by Salvo and they too are believers now. His work is nothing short of art. In regards to the service in the salon, Salvo has only the best employees. I have neck issues so I can't bend backwards into the sink for washing, but his staff is always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The place is always spotless and the receptionists are always professional. If you are driving here, there is convenient street parking out front. If you are venturing here from the city, no worries... it is totally worth the trip. You can easily get to the salon via the Express bus (x38, x28) which is right across the street, or the R train (86th street stop) which is about a 7 minute walk away. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with him today. read more

Salvo Capelli - New cut and color - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I am stunned to receive this response from the owner. I walked in before my appointment for a consultation and met with the owner. I never mentioned cutting my hair and I never met the stylist he paired me with. During my consultation he assured me that the stylist who he had in mind specializes in curly hair, in hind sight this should have been a huge red flag but I had my mind set on trying something different from my occasional visit to Dominican salons. I was very transparent with the owner when I said that I wanted a wash and dry set, however, when I came in for my appointment the stylist had a table with scissors laid out. Again, this should have been another major red flag especially since I do not tend to allow strangers to handle my hair and much less cut it; but at last, I was determined to try something different and I paid the price for that leap. I know that you want to set a positive image for your establishment, but this was a cheap attempt to redeem this visit. Why on earth would I let you or anyone else handle my hair again, that is insane! I am sure that you have a clientele that you do right by and you can try to redeem your ratings with them but I find it disrespectful and distasteful that you would offer me a freebie when I never asked you for that. When I came into your establishment I intended to pay full price, thankfully you had a sale and I did not have to pay the full price I guess you deserve my one one star for that. Thanks read more

Love this salon! I came from Manhattan to try this salon as it is near my family's home. So pleased with the service and expertise of Sal and his associate, Sofia. Attention to detail was outstanding, and a beautiful decor to match I will definitely return. read more

I first found this salon when looking for a blow out, Michele did a fabulous job....few month later I had a terrible experience at another salon that I had been previously going to right before my wedding! The color of my hair was a nightmare, luckily I was able to fix it right in time with Salvo, he SAVED my hair for my wedding! Now I went to him again for color to put low lights and roots and glaze and he transformed my hair into perfection! Did an outstanding job and so thankful I found them, everyone is always so kind and wonderful in there, I won't go anywhere else! read more

Beautiful salon. Giovanna gave me a beautiful haircut and blow out ! Friendly staff, very clean, and very reasonable prices

This trendy new salon is conveniently located on 86th street and 7th avenue. ** Plenty of street parking around Dyker Golf course ** which is a ++ in Brooklyn ! Super friendly front desk staff that makes you feel welcome (unlike many other upscale salons in the area). I came in with a picture of the color I wanted and my stylist/colorist Sal (the owner) duplicated it exactly. As always he gave me his honest opinion and didn't try to talk me out of something to make it easier on himself ! I was seen on time and within a few hours I went from a high lighted blonde to a fiery red bombshell :) Sal is always willing to accommodate my crazy requests and is able to keep up with my seasonal color changes without damaging my hair. Can't wait to see you all again.. Buona fortuna, Aguri! read more

Salvo Capelli - My fall look ;) - Hair Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I'd slacked on hair maintenance and it finally got to the point where it pissed me off enough to do something about it. After searching groupon, I bought deal for cut, blow dry, and single process color. Yesterday, I redeemed my voucher and I honestly couldn't be happier with my experience. My hair is long, but the ends were extremely dried out and damaged. Also, I'd dyed my hair a darkish red over a year ago and it had grown out considerably and also faded. Not a good look. Immediately upon entering the salon, I was warmly greeted by Salvo. Less than two minutes later, the hair stylist, Irene, introduced herself and ushered me to her station. I explained that I wanted to keep my hair as long as possible while getting rid of the dead ends and also dye my hair to match my roots. She told me that the color portion of my groupon was only for roots, not my entire head. This confused me because, in my experience at any other salon, "single color process" means that one color is applied all over. I told Irene to just skip the color in that case and to just give me a cut. She asked if I'd maybe like just a couple of foils to help blend my roots to the bottom of my hair. After inquiring about price, I learned that a partial (half-head) of highlights would be $110, or $10 per foil if I opted to get just a few. I decided that I should just go with the partial head of highlights; I hadn't gotten my hair done in forever and I desperately wanted to fix the color. Irene spoke to Salvo and they adjusted the price by deducting the single process color I'd already paid for. So it only ended up being $74. I really appreciated this, ESPECIALLY since I hadn't even tried to haggle price or complain about the confusion as to what "single process color" means. It showed me that they really care about their customers, which is a huge deal to me. My hair is naturally a very light brown, and Irene gave me the most beautiful, natural looking blonde highlights. It really looks like I spent a few hours in the sun rather than a few hours in a salon chair; I'm so in love with it. The highlights also really helped blend my base with the reddish ends that I'm growing out. Irene is also clearly very knowledgable and skilled; she used two different types of dye for my natural base and for my processed ends to make sure they ended up the same color. My cut is also fantastic; Irene did exactly what I asked her to do. She trimmed the dead ends, added some long layers to give body, and framed the front. When it was all done, I couldn't believe how shiny and healthy my hair looked. I've already made another appointment and will definitely be recommending this salon to my friends. read more

My natural hair is extremely curly, frizzy, and hard to keep up with! Every time I go to Salvo Capelli I look like a brand new person and my hair feels and looks super healthy! For any of you reading this that have curly hair you know our styles don't usually last for long however the blow outs at Salvo Capelli always last for about a week and the products they use are great not to mention the amazing staff and customer service! I highly recommend! read more

I was really disappointed by my visit. Things started out so promising--everyone was very friendly, nice, and they have the best cappuccinos ever. I used a Groupon for a brazilian keratin express treatment, just to test the waters. I figured if it went well, I would invest in the full-blown treatment. I do have very, very thick and curly hair and most stylists are daunted by how curly it gets after it is washed. I usually apologize for it, but that wasn't necessary here. The girl who washed my hair and the stylist were both extremely sweet and told me I had beautiful hair. My hair stylist even asked if she could take a before picture, which got my hopes up. I was thinking that meant she was very confident that she would do a great job, and then, you know...take an after picture. She never even bothered to take the after picture though, because my hair came out so terribly. She just blow dryed it haphazardly as fast as she could and didn't even bother flat ironing it. She told me I was done and walked away. Didn't ask me what I thought or anything. I was a little dumbfounded. I do realize that I paid for the treatment, not necessarily a styling or blowout, so I figured I could go home and try to flat iron it myself. I still have a suspicion that my hair was extremely poorly done and they would normally never let anyone out of the salon looking like that, because when I went to the receptionist to try to get change to tip with, she looked at me in surprise for a second before looking away. She seemed embarrassed for me. I'm guessing this place is great if you just forgo Groupon and pay full price. It's a shame though, because now I don't feel comfortable enough to go back and try that. read more

I always give credit where credit is due and Salvo Capelli Salon deserves a lot of credit! I called to schedule my appointment and I think I spoke to Elisa (?). I made sure I mentioned I have a Groupon voucher to redeem and her tone did not change at all!! Her voice remained friendly and accommodating unlike the other Bay Ridge Salon receptionists that sound almost disgusted when you mention Groupon. By the way, the receptionist is just as lovely in person as she was on the phone. My scheduled stylist was Ana. She asked questions, I showed her a few pictures, she answered my questions, and she was focused on me. I felt absolutely comfortable with her and she did exactly what I asked. Ana is a lovely person and a great stylist! Overall, the atmosphere and the energy in the salon is welcoming and friendly. They even offered us clients pizza just because! I would go back to this salon and I also highly recommend it. read more

Today was my first time visiting the salon. It was such a nice experience. The salon has a really relaxed and soothing atmosphere. When I walked in, my hair had three different tones and Sal did his magic and fixed my hair. Sal is so knowledgeable at what he does. He is truly gifted! I will definitely be back and would recommend anyone looking for a great stylist to come visit his salon! read more

I went to the salon with a Groupon, and I couldn't be happier that I did. My stylist was Irene and she listen carefully to everything that I said and gave me a beautiful haircut! I am very satisfied, and will definitely be going here for all of my subsequent haircuts. read more

This was the first time I had my Color and haircut at Salvo Capelli Salon . I had the pleasure of having Sal do all of the services . I told him what I was looking to have done with the color and cut and I walked out with exactly what I asked for . Sal was able to remove the nasty brassy color on my root and give me a natural color and highlights.The cut is AMAZING and was so easy to blowout on my own . I would highly recommend this salon I most definitely will be back read more

Conveniently located steps away from residential Dyker heights ; instead of trooping into crowded neighborhoods for a blow out. From the moment I walked in as a first timer I was treated as if I was a client and friend for years , offered a drink of my choice and was immediately attracted to the positive energy and smiles all around me . Salvo himself is a gentleman and the stylists are very sweet . Got a wash and blow and cappachino and was out of there in less than half an hour my hair looked amazing and what was even better is they suggest ways to keep your hair healthy rather than push them onto you . Very relaxing environment ! I wanted to stay just to hang out with Salvo and the girls ! Best of luck to everyone in the salon ! read more

I have been going to Sal for 10+ years now. I don't trust anyone else! He is amazing and his staff are always so pleasant and accommodating. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else :) read more

I went to this salon bc I purchased a Groupon for an outrageous deal for color and cut for first time clients. Upon walking into the salon, I immediately noticed how nicely decorated the salon was. The staff was so personable and sweet. They offered me cappuccino, coffee or espresso. Irene did my hair yesterday, and I couldn't be more happy! I have to tell you I was a little skeptical at the time when making my appointment being that she is a "jr" stylist, but all my worries soon ceased once she began my consultation. my color is exactly how I envisioned and this has been the best hair cut I have received since moving to brooklyn from long island 5 years ago. I'm VERY picky! I've been to all the best salons both In the neighborhood (pilo, da noi, halo), staten island (Mancini giuffre ) and long island...but all that aside I will now be going to Salvo Cappeli to see Irene! The Ora in the salon between Salvo And His Staff Makes THE Salon A WELCOMING And comfortable environment! I already made two additional appointments for blow outs for upcoming events as Irene blow out was exactly what I had envisioned.. a nice full, sexy blow out ! read more

BEST HAIRCUT EVER! I've always thought a men's haircut was just something that had to get done...keep it short, keep it tight. I never actually paid attention to men's hairstyles since my curly hair had to stay short. After years of being jealous of other men's cuts, I decided to go for a different cut than I've ever had (disconnect, etc.). After having a few local hairstylists try the cut on me, I remained unimpressed and tired of trying. After attending Salvo Capelli's opening reception, I contacted the salon for an appointment with Sal himself. Prior to my cut, Salvo Capelli's manager, Liz, reached out to me & sent various pictures of haircuts, and patiently helped me select a style. Upon entering the salon, I was greeted by such warm & friendly employees and immediately became excited for my new cut. After a relaxing shampoo, Sal went to work & made me a believer. He listened to what I was looking for, gave a few suggestions, and performed magic!! I am thrilled with my new style and cannot wait for my next appointment!! This whole experience was DEFINITELY worth the two hour (rush-hour) drive from Long Island!! read more

The salon is great. Irene does natural looking color and last time when I also got a haircut cut my hair and bangs perfectly!! They are the best salon in Bay Ridge. read more

My family and I have all been getting our hair done by Sal since before he opened this location and he's always great! We come from Manhattan to get out hair done, so you know they've gotta be good! We've had appointments with both Sal and Irene. The new location is really nice and they do such a great job. They are always accommodating to try and get the times we want for appointments. Definitely recommend! read more

Great place. I have been going to Sal for over 10 years. He is a true artist. Love the salon, love the staff.

Sal is the best hair colorist and cutter out there. I've been going to him for 15 years. I took a mini 5 year break when I moved away and it showed. The second I moved back to Manhattan I knew the trek to Brooklyn to get my hair done by Sal would be worth it. I get compliments daily on my color. I'm not kidding - daily. My sister in law who has very curly hair also loves Sal. My sister and cousin also all see him. None of us live in Brooklyn. We can't say enough good things. read more

I just have to say I had been hesitant to dye my hair. Sal did an amazing job. I dyed my hair about 3 weeks ago and not a day has gone by where I wasn't complimented on it. If your looking for someone to trust like I was, Salvo Capelli will not let you down! read more

I've been coming here since around the time they first opened. Every visit, I've been happy with my hair cuts and color. I can't believe how many compliments I get about my hair. Getting an appointment is never an issue either. I recently moved to Staten Island but will continue to come here because this is a great salon. Other salons I've been to in the area, can be a little unfriendly, but I don't feel that when I come here. This is, in my opinion, as good as it gets! read more

I bought a groupon for haircut and single process color for 72 $. When I got there the front desk lady told me that "single process" means touch up of the roots only. I was baffled. Never I heard that before. My hair are 2 shades lighter than my roots( results of previous lightenings) and I just wanted to even out the color which means to dye my hair my natural color, not any special request here. My roots were not even visible, they are less than 1 cm showing. For some reasons that I don't fully understand they wanted to match my roots with my lighter color of my hair( which I didn't wanted, and obviously would have required more work from them than just to dye my hair in my natural dark. And they charged my groupon before siting me in the chair, and told me that if I wanted to dye my hair I have to pay 25$. Totally a rip off. So clearly for whatever reason they didn't wanted to do my hair. In my end, if they don't want to dye my hair I definitely don't want them to touch and dye my hair either. I asked them to proceed with haircut and the blow dry. It was not worth my time to talk to them any longer. Dear salon There are things called customer service, integrity, truthfulness and honestly. As customers we expect to have these together with hair services you offer. Actually they are more important than a haircut. I am never coming back to your salon. read more

Sal is nothing short of amazing! I have been going to him for a decade and there is a reason for that. From cut to color to blow outs (and Sal's blowouts are THE best - NO ONE has ever been able to replicate), Sal is simply phenomenal. Highly highly highly recommend! read more

Love them. Got my hair done today from a Groupon deal I'd purchased that was about to expire. They let me come in right away, and everyone was super courtesy from the person on the phone I booked my appointment with, to the woman that washed my hair, to my hairstylist (Anna). At this point, I'm such a frequent deal user that I've been to a number of different hair salons, and I was just really happy with this one. All the things that I look for were top notch- the premises were clean, the music wasn't loud or obnoxious, I wasn't left sitting in the chair for a ridiculous amount of time, and most importantly, the service providers were down to earth and NOT chatting with each other while doing my hair (or making me feel like I'm just a hair mannequin). Anna completely understood my hair type, my complaints about it, and what I was looking for, and my hair came out PERFECT. Oh, and they didn't push high-priced hair product at me or give me a thousand business cards with "50% off next visit!" (the desperate "please come back" or "we hope this makes up for ways we may have sucked!") on my way out. A real classy place, they don't need the discount cards to make me come back. read more

I've been going to Sal for 10+ yrs, and that's intentional, even living in Jersey. No matter where he goes, I follow because he is nothing short of AMAZING. His skill in both cut and color is solid, and he's just an all around nice guy. He listens to what you want, and executes perfectly. GO SEE HIM...you will not be disappointed! read more

Love, love, love this place! You can finally stop looking for YOUR place to go. Can't say enough about Sal! Always a great cut, and color every time.

I live in Staten Island and am happy to come over the bridge for this kind of service! read more
