Capelli Salon

I went there to find my old stylist Nikki and found out she is gone. And then the front desk sign me to a stylist I don’t know her name. And then she is the most hard to understand person I’ve ever see. She waxed my eyebrows like lady style. I was clear told her just clean style and the. She waxed my eyebrows. I thought she knew in guys eyebrows you shouldn’t touch too much of the bottom and should only fix the middle between two eyebrows. I think she screwed up one and then followed the mistake which totally ruins everything. As soon as I see what’s she did I asked her where is my eyebrows? Anyone who did men’s eyebrows won’t make this mistake! I never seen anyone who make this mistake. And then she said she won’t charge me for my eyebrows, I was like I have to pay you. I am not willing Seattle this for $ 12. After the eyebrows being ruined by this stylist I have to get a extension for $ 75. And the stylist didn’t even apology to me. I will never go there again!!!
Never apologize. It’s has been 4 months. Never step my foot in that door. Never

I had an appointment for 2 weeks at 3PM, only to arrive and get told I would have to wait another 45 minutes by an unapologetic hostess. Considering I am a college student with no car and other things I could be doing, I was very disappointed not to have received notification of my «changed time.»

I come here every time I go to get my nails done with Xavier. She doesn’t incredible job and is very detailed with designs she is the only nail technician I have ever found that I keep coming back to I recommend her highly!

Liz is top notch. I’ve gone to her for a variety of styles and she’ll pulled them all off epically. She always listens and asks questions before doing any cutting. I definitely appreciative this. She can accurately replicate any cut that I’ve shown her a photo of, and I’ve received a number of compliments from Liz’s work. Highly recommend her.

I followed Jena Cicerchia to Capelli — she’s worth following. Great cuts, very personable and good at helping find the right cut when you don’t quite know how to explain what you’re looking for. Capelli Salon is great, too. Good location near DePasquale Square. Clean, modern space with friendly people.

After wearing pink & whites for over 10 years, I decided a change was in order. So, I started coming to Capelli Salon on 5÷24÷14 getting my nails done by Xavier Walker. She’s sweet and listens to Xactly what U want. I usually show her what I like to call my ‘inspiration’ picture as a point of reference. She is very creative and makes it happen!!! My previous salon charged $ 5 to remove shellac polish — @ Capelli there is no additional charge. I get a shellac pedicure once a month and the polish last the entire 4 weeks!!! When you first get there, they always offer you water, tea or coffee. The salon is clean and the nicely decorated!!! Being on the hill I would Xpect the prices to be higher!!! Service with a smile is what I appreciate & Xpect!!! I look forward to many more beautiful nails!!!

I went to Capelli Salon today for a walk in mani-​pedi and was nervous they would tell me that they were booked all day. I was glad to hear that she had an opening right at that moment and that she would need five minutes to get set up.
I was whisked away, after being offered coffee, tea or water and Xavier started on my pedicure and was polite, friendly and extremely professional. She took care of me, made sure I was comfortable and it let as if we had been friends forever!
She suggested some nail colors based on my preferences towards greens and blues, and picked out the PERFECT colors.
I loved how thoughtful she was and how she took care of me like I was a client if a long time.
I haven’t had many mani-​pedis in my life, but I’m definitely going to have many more from this salon! They even do package deals which are extremely inexpensive for the whole package. I am very excited to go back and will tell and recommend this salon to everyone.

Finally! I have found a great salon that is reasonably priced! Being from NJ, it’s been hard to find a hair salon in RI that can compare. I find many salons here are very overpriced for what the offer. Not here. I got my cut I always strive for, all for $ 20 bucks. (College student discount!) I was very please and Eduina who cut my hair was so sweet. Good conversation, took the time to listen and focus on my needs and made it happen! Check it out.

I had the best experience here. I have never had anyone take as much time and put as much care into my hair as Liz. This will be my salon of choice from now on.

Quick update: I went for a haircut a week and a half ago, but was very under the weather during my appointment. Because of this, I didn’t realize until a few days later that I really wanted my hair shorter. I requested another appointment and asked if I could do a cut with no style for a cheaper price and was told I could come in and have it all done for free since I wasn’t happy with the length of the cut. Love this place!

Love Capelli Salon and Liz for taking care of my hair for years. She always hears what I want to accomplish with any cut or style, and I’m always satisfied. She is fantastic with color and has brought me from brunette to blonde and everything in between over the years. She doesn’t rush you but gets the job done without wasting your busy day or evening away :)

Nick has left Capelli. Booooo. :(

I have lived in RI all my life and recently started working in Providence so I wanted a place close by to where I work. I see Liz who is absolutely fantastic from the minute I called — I have now been seeing her several months and she is honestly the BEST person I have ever had do my hair. I am a natural brunette although I have been highlighting my hair blonde for almost 20 years. I love, love, LOVE the color — she is amazing and makes sure I look fabulous every time I leave there! I have also had Xavier do my nails (gel tips) and I’ve had a pedicure with her too… she is extremely knowledgable, professional, and very personable! All around, great people and a great place. I would recommend ANYONE to try it if they are looking for someplace new!

I made an appointment with Nicholas last week based on a friend’s recommendation, and I am glad I did. After repeated bad experiences I hadn’t gotten my hair cut in a year — I have long hair. I was happily surprised to find someone who doesn’t do what he feels will be fabulous but actually listens to what you like, need, and what your styling habits are. And takes his time to do it right!
Overall I am very happy with my experience there. I love my new haircut and my confidence in hair stylists in renewed :) And the prices are great too I paid $ 32 for cut-​blowdry, I don’t understand the people complaining about the prices here!
Thanks Nicholas, I’ll definitely go back (all the way from Worcester)

I’ve been to Capelli Salon a few times now and I’ve never walked out unhappy (no horrible cuts or crazy dye jobs), but at the same time I’ve never been overly impressed with how my hair looks when I leave.
The cut and color always come out pretty good, but the blow out at the end is less than average. Normally I go home and restyle it myself. After spending $ 130 + tip for color/​highlight and blow dry, I want to walk out of the salon feeling like a million bucks… Which I didn’t.
Also, as someone who is not a smoker, it’s less than appealing when your stylist comes back in after a break and smells like smoke.
What is great about her salon is that it’s open 7 days a week, and you can always call up last minute and get an appointment… But when you think about it, a busy salon is probably a more successful one.
All in all, I won’t be re-​visiting… No hard feelings, it’s just not the place for me.
If you’re looking for a salon on The Hill, try Devenir Salon up the road, just had an amazing experience there. Prices are similar but you’ll get more for your money.

Too expensive for a new hair salon. Simple wash and blow dry is $ 52. Typically new salons tend to give offers to attract and retain future clients. The service was nothing other than shampoo and blow dry, the person talked just too much over my head or to other stylists. But hey, we are all different thought I just think he is an inexperienced stylist.
Their gel manicure alone is obscenely high at $ 45.
If you want standard service but don’t mind paying more (ignorant with your budget), visit here. It is not any different from those mall salons you get everywhere.
This place will fall very fast with their high introductory prices. Especially given that there are three salons on the same area that have been there for more than 2 – 3 years.

I’ll start out with the disclaimer that I’m a tough customer when it comes to going to a hair salon. I have thick curly hair, and not many people understand how to cut it to make it look like less of an Afro. Contrary to the suggestions by my fellow Unilocalers which elude to Capelli specializing in Curly locks. I’m sad to report Capelli Salon was no different than many others in this department.
The cut i received from Liz was so-​so… I wish she had built the cut around my side part as i requested (which is the standard place i part my hair) as opposed to going from down the middle of my head. Since i still part it on the side and it’s grown out pretty funny. The color was not blended throughout my hair when applied so you could see the lines of where it had been colored before and also there were a lot of spots (and grays) missing the new hue throughout my hair.
In addition to not being ecstatic with the blow dry and how my hair came out after it was initially done, when i left the salon there was a ring of color around my temples, my forehead, and ears. When i got in the car and looked in the mirror i was instantly upset as I was supposed to meet a friend for lunch after my appointment. After realizing i was sporting a billboard on my forehead that says: «hey everyone, I’m pushing 30, have grays, and just colored my hair.» I ended up having to meet my companion late so i could go home and scrub the color off with astringent. OUCH! I only wish they put the extra color on the spots they missed when applying it.
***Update: After my initial review the owner directly contacted me and offered a free service to compensate me since i was less than happy with my end result.(Even though she claims to not remember me which i found a little odd.) Though this offer was greatly appreciated and generous especially since some time has passed since my inital visit AND she claimed she doesn’t remember me. I declined as i do not feel the need to return
Everyone has a bad day and i’m not in any way attempting to detour people from her establishment. This place is just not my cup of tea.

I’ve been to another salon in Providence, but I got out with a weird feeling and a not so good looking haircut, so I gave Liz a shot and all I can say is, she’s amazing!
My hair definitely has character (as Liz calls it) and I’m always a bit unsure how it looks after getting cut, but Liz took her time and it was exactly the way I wanted it.
Writing this review actually reminds me to give her a call and set up an appointment for next week.
Update: I became a regular and never felt more comfortable getting my hair cut. I never had to wait longer than 5 minutes, never had issues when I just walked in or called last minute. $ 22 for a men’s cut is fair, especially with all the treats and the real haircut you get!
I am moving out of state and this is the one place I will definitely miss. I wish Liz and all others working at Capelli Salon all the best!

I just moved to Providence and was looking for a good place to get a «rockstar man-​cut.» I found it right down the street from my office at Capelli Salon! Liz is in the business of making people’s days, and she delivers on that promise!
I highly recommend this place (and Liz) to anyone!

FYI: I’m a guy with curly hair, usually worn on the longer side. I’ve been to supercuts, and frankly can’t muster the guts to try them again. I also feel really awkward in overly decorated /​designed salons.
After walking all over providence looking for an open hair salon (on a Monday), I stumbled upon Capelli Salon. I walked in and Liz was able to take me in right away — the place was dead. I thought it was a little weird, but I guess nobody gets haircuts on Mondays in Providence.
Anyways, my cut turned out really great — probably one of my most satisfying cuts. I hadn’t gotten a haircut for some 7 months, so my hair definitely needed to be tamed. It was a fairly quick cut, but it didn’t feel rushed like it has at supercuts. On top of a great cut, it only cost 20 $ :)
It was also really easy talking to Liz too. I’ve had some really weird and awkward experiences talking with the person cutting my hair, and this was anything but that.
And to anyone that doesn’t need a barber’s shop, or a frilly nail/​spa/​hair salon combo, you’ll be pleased to know that Capelli is a clean and simple place… No silly decorations that make you reconsider– just a straightforward hair salon. If they offered any other services, it wasn’t obvious, and frankly, that’s the way I like it.
For once, I am a satisfied customer, and I know I will be coming back to Capelli Salon when my hair starts annoying me again. Apparently they just opened last September (2011), so support your small businesses!
