Capelli just hasn't lived up to the CitySearch reviews. I had a salon I loved outside NYC and had previously had a great haircut that I wanted to copy. I brought in photos of myself and described in detail what I wanted, but my stylist didn't really pay much attention to what I'd asked for. I understand when a stylist makes suggestions or asks if she can tweak what you are asking for to suit your face or hair, but there was no discussion, just a different haircut than I'd asked for because it would be "better." It wasn't bad, but it wasn't an improvement over the old cut and it wasn't what I wanted. I was then blow-dried and curled into looking like an anchorwoman, much to the amusement of my boyfriend. I was also pressured to buy Bumble & Bumble products, which I stupidly did. They did nothing good for my hair and are outrageously expensive at full-price. I continue to go there out of inertia. The cuts aren't bad and they aren't overly expensive, but I'd never trust them to do a big change or color. I now ignore all styling advice and flat iron out the absurd looking curls as soon as I get home. I've had some hideous haircuts in my lifetime, and don't want to risk going from good enough to awful in search of perfection. I've got long enough hair that the cut doesn't have to be particularly amazing for it to look good so until somebody with great hair who I trust recommends a particular salon/stylist, I'll continue to go to Capelli. But I wouldn't have started going if I'd known what a disappointment it would be after all these glowing reviews.
Pros: Decent cuts, not too expensive
Cons: Not nearly as good as these reviews make it out to be

I recently relocated to austin and needed a new stylist to replace the one i loved in my old town. I was very close to her so she left big shoes to fill. A friend of mine mentioned that she knew an amazing stylist so I set up an appointment. Well needless to say, those very big shoes were filled after just my first visit with Ann. I went into capelli with no real directions to give Ann but she took my hair and gave me the best haircut I have ever had. She spent so much time with me making sure that it was exactly what I wanted and making sure that I would have no trouble maintaining it. I cannot recommend her enough. AMAZING stylist and truly one of the nicest people I have ever met!
Pros: amazing stylist, ambience
Cons: non
