Best cut and color

by Ags01 at Citysearch

I've been going to Capelli for about 5 years and have never had a bad experience. Denerae is amazing. She always gives me the best cuts and/or color and if I go in and have no idea what I want, she works her magic! I've been to other salons and felt like I was treated like a nobody because I'm not a typical trendy place kind of gal. But these very cool and chic people made me feel so comfortable and I don't mind spending my money there, whether it's on the services or Bumble and Bumble products.

• Pros: relaxed, fun, chic, great cuts and color, inexpensive
• Cons: parking

hair snob? this is the place for you.

by jenalin at Citysearch

when it comes to my hair, i am ridiculously selective. before moving to austin two years ago, only three people had ever touched my hair in 26 years. i took a leap of faith and went to david @ capelli per the suggestion of a good friend; he is also pretty snobby, er, picky about his hair. i could not have made a better decision.

my first visit with david was to chop off 14 inches of my thick, curly brown hair (i'd been growing it for eight years and decided it was time for a change), and i felt bad for the poor guy for getting such a nutcase new client freaking out about losing so much hair. but he was sympathetic and encouraging and assured me he would give me a great new cut. and he most certainly did. i walked in with hair down to my butt, and walked out with a super cute shoulder length 'do. they also took care of the paperwork/procedure for donating my hair to locks of love.

i've been going to david ever since. he is an expert on how to cut curly hair (which is hard to find), and is great about listening to and doing what you are looking for. not to mention he's super fun - i always want to stay longer and talk to him :)

the salon is quaint and funky, and david has also gotten me addicted to its bumble & bumble products. i was a cynic who thought drugstore products did the trick just as well as the salon stuff, but using b&b has changed my opinion (and my hair) entirely. their curl conscious line is amazing, and is totally worth the price. and with the steal i get for my visits to the salon, it totally evens out. i pay far too little for the amazing service i get from david and capelli. i. love. this. place.

• Pros: great price, great products, great service
• Cons: limited parking

Amazing cut!

by Priyanna at Citysearch

I am so glad I listened to all the reviews on citysearch! I just had my cut with Lisa today who is so sweet and amazing. She actually spent a good 10 mins or so with me just looking at my hair and talking to me about exactly what we were going to do. She really paid attention to my hair texture and what would work best for me, instead of just doing the same cut she did on someone last week. It was a great experience, go to Lisa she is fantastic and reasonably priced too! Win win all around and I love my new cut. I will definitely return to Lisa, give her a try!

• Pros: Great service, talanted stylist, warm/welcoming enviornment
• Cons: Parking
