I started going to Capelli after moving to Columbia and Bonnie has crushed it every single time! Most recently, I got a balayage (2 tones), and layers, and it looks amazing. It never fails, as soon as I leave the salon, I am always bombarded with compliments on my hair, and rightfully so. Bonnie is an ARTIST!

Capellis is the only salon I trust. No matter who waits on me, I feel pampered. Everyone is friendly and professional. They do a great job with my hair, helping me decide what will work best for me. Bonnie cut my hair today and did a great job giving me some new layers and a trim. I always know my hair will look great when I leave Capellis.

This salon is one of the best salons I have been in Columbia. I have changed around 4-5 salons because of the quality. My hair stylist Steve, is so far the best hair stylist I have met. He is really polite and professional and understands your needs. His positive attitude and nature keeps me coming to this salon. It’s really close to USC campus and downtown. Highly recommended place!

I’ve been seeing Steve Brinchi (owner) for twenty years now and have followed him through a few different locations. Steve never fails to know how to combine what I want and what he knows I’m willing (or not willing) to do in the morning! Plus he’s always on time, the salon is always clean (long before Covid), and he’s an all-around nice guy! And every one of his employees over the years has had the same level of awesomeness. He even did my (now) 16yo daughter’s first haircut as a baby, and his salon is the only one I’ve brought her to (we’re here now for her haircut!). We love Steve/Capelli! 🤗❤️💇🏻‍♀️👍🏻

So impressed with the service, knowledge and passion Lauren has for color. A change in schedule put me in Columbia SC at the time I needed my grays gone. So I called salons close to the hotel and was able to book with Lauren. I figured that if it didnt go well, its only hair and Id have it fixed in month. Well I love it! And Ive had friends rave about my cut and color from pictures. Now I have to plan to get back to SC for Lauren to do my hair! She even offered the colors recipe for me to take to the stylist next month! Thank you so much Lauren

I love Capelli Salon. I have gotten my hair done by the incredible Bobbie Sue twice here and several times at her former salon. She is a master of color and is very thorough and direct with her consultations. I trust her 100% and always leave happy. I get so many compliments on my hair. The staff is so friendly and they make everyone feel so comfortable. The atmosphere is nice as well! Mr. Steve seems like a wonderful leader and his stylists are incredibly professional. They all remain current on their continued education courses and up to date on the latest trends. I look forward to my next appointment with Bobbie Sue at Capelli Salon.

BRIDES BEWARE!Two to three months ago, I booked an appointment to have mine and my step-daughters hair done for my wedding that is now in three weeks. I called around two weeks ago to see if I could add makeup services for myself, and the person who answered the phone acted like that was completely fine but she said would call me back because they may need us to come in later than our scheduled time. Never got a call back but figured the original scheduled time was fine and that was why I never got a call back. Yesterday, I was calling to verify all the vendors were still on track for the wedding. I called the salon and the person who answered the phone told me that the people who were originally scheduled to do our hair and my makeup no longer worked there (one person left last week, one person left Wednesday, and no one thought to give me a heads up) and she wasnt able to give me an answer as to whether or not I even still had an appointment and told me she would have the manager call me. Its been over 24 hours. Still no call. Luckily I was able to find a different salon who was able to squeeze us in last minute. This is THREE WEEKS before the wedding. I cannot believe how UNPROFESSIONAL Capelli Salon is. Thank God I called to verify our appointment or I would have showed up on my wedding day and not had anyone to do hair and makeup. It is unprofessional not to let clients know if their appointments are no longer available especially for a special event, and it is unprofessional to tell a client you will call them back and not on two separate occasions.

Really like the appearance of the salon. Bonnie Tipton does my hair and the color is always perfect! Cuts and moisture treatments keep it healthy and looking awesome! A favorite uncle always said a woman’s hair is her crowning glory. Bonnie makes sure you feel that way when you walk out! Make sure when you call you ask for Bonnie!!!

Everyone at Capelli is amazing. Steve has been doing my hair for years and he has hired some awesome new stylist recently. When you walk in Capelli everyone is friendly and you immediately feel like youre hanging out with friends. I always get compliments on my hair and people asking where I get It done. If youre looking for a new stylist you cant go wrong with Capelli!!

Review №23

Steve always knows how to brighten your day when going to get a high quality, professional cut and color. He ensures you look beautiful and have a good time while you’re there. If he’s all booked I suggest Lauren, as she has been there a while and also does exemplary work. You’ll leave the salon with a smile on your face and your locks fresh. I’ve been going to Steve since I was a child. ❤️

Been seeing Steve for over 6 years. Always get exactly what my hair needs. Steve is very knowledgeable in his field, and attends shows along with his staff to keep abreast of the newest and latest in styling and care. Just give him or the staff a try, you wont be disappointed. Everyone is very professional and wants you to leave happy.

Capelli Salon has a great atmosphere, the staff is so nice, they always offer a beverage when you get there, there is parking in the back, and although they always have lots of clients, I have never had to wait past my appointment time. I have heard great things about all the hair stylists. I adore Steve (the owner) - he always takes time to really listen to what type of style Id like, and it always turns out wonderful. I would recommend this salon to everyone!

Review №32

Capelli did me and my bridal partys hair for my wedding this August. They sent over Sara and Lindsey to my venue for a reasonable fee to do 8 womens hairstyles. They finished everyone in a matter of 3 hours I think. All the hair was fabulous, my bridesmaids and MIL looked gorgeous. Sara took extra time after my trial run to research how to achieve the look I was going for with my hair, since my hair type didnt exactly want to cooperate. It turned out perfectly. I was so impressed with the time and commitment she put into giving me exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. She is definitely a perfectionist and will go above and beyond to conquer a challenging request. Thanks so much!

I have been going to Sarah for about three years and she has NEVER let me down. At my first appointment she was very straightforward with me on what she thought would be best, and I absolutely loved the result! If you want someone with a lot of great experience, and truly cares about your hair, go to Sarah! :)

Review №35

I am from London and the haircut I had here was the best in years, perhaps ever! So quick and cheap on top of that, great hairdresser too. Really lasted well and easy to manage. She knew exactly what I wanted, and recommended another hairstyle for me that I will actually be getting next time I get my haircut...she was very honest with me in saying what would and wouldnt look good and what would be easy to maintain. I hope I find a good salon now Im back in England because this one will be hard to beat.

Review №37

I love love Brittany! I just moved here from NY and all my life Ive had my hair done by my aunt who owns her own salon who new her stuff. So Ive always been apprehensive to let anyone do my hair. I read the reviews and decided to go to Capellis. Brittany did a shampoo, cut, and blow dry. I told her I have naturally curly hair and its super thick. She didnt have any problems. She was super gentle, especially with the brushing (Im tender headed). I let her have full range on the cut. I told her I didnt want to go above my shoulders and she listened! She cut off 12 inches and still didnt go above the shoulders! The blow dry was perfect. Nice pull, not too hot, just right! Gave me a nice shine, bounce, and it was so SOFT! She was so kind and sweet. Next time I decide to do something crazy with my hair, Im going to Brittany!

I had my hair cut on dec 31. i explained that i had not had a good cut in this area for some time but had a great haircut while i was out of town. i asked the stylist to please just trim it and keep the same haircut because i was happy with it. well she cut it and when i got home and tried to style it i found it was uneven on both sides no layering on the top so i had a flat top with bushy sides. for two weeks i tried to work with it but i finally went somewhere and they practically cut all my hair off to make it even. i thought that was excessive but it still looks better so short. very disappointed in my visit there. i was offered coffee when i got there but no one ever brought it. it was my first visit so i realized later i guess i was supposed to get it myself. there was a baby in their which was very distracting but they left. for a high price hair cut little children are kind of annoying. sorry to leave a less than perfect review but i have to be honest. i wont be returning and will be out of town for the next haircut and can get it done as it will grown back by then.

I just went to my first appointment with the owner Steve a couple days ago. I am so happy with the outcome. I had been butchered my my last hairdresser and have not been able to have my hair done since last August. I needed to have some hair for my next hairdresser to work with. Steve sat down with me and listened to everything I requested and added his expertise to make it perfect. If your looking for someone PICK THIS SALON. You will not be sorry. Thank you Steve and will see you soon.

Ive had the same lady cut my hair for over four years in Lancaster, SC. Once I moved it became hard to schedule an appointment back home. Just the other day I was walking around the Vista looking for a place for a hair cut and ended up here. I had a lady name Shay shampoo and cut my hair for a reasonable price and it was fantastic. Very satisfied and Im so glad I lucked up finding a wonderful place like this.

Review №47

In January I wad looking for a new salon because the girl who was doing my hair fried it. I came across Capelli, read the profiles of th people who worked there & all of them seemed to be really trained, & stylist, not just people who cut hair. I called, made an appointment; they put me with Annie. I had reservations about her because in her profile pic her hair looked fried, but I went. When I met her in person her hair was beautiful. I explained to her that I was looking for a stylist who help get my hair back to normal; I also explained to her that I had used the same stylist for years, & when he decided to move back to Hawaii I had been searching for a stylist where all I had to do was walk in sit in the chair, & walk out looking fabulous. When she asked me what I wanted done to my hair I knew I hadnt found her. She gave me a product that has restored my hair, for that I am grateful. She is not the reason I am giving two stars. I had an appointment for May 4 at 9:00 am. A charity event was added to my Calendar for that day so I called to cancell, & reschedule. I was told I did not have an appointment. They proceeded to tell me that Annie was no longer with them. WHAT?!?!? NOBODY BOTHERED TO CALL ME AND TELL ME THAT THEY DROPPED MY APPOINTMENT!!! THAT IS SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I WONT RETURN!!! ANYBODY KNOW A PROFESSIONAL SALON THAT HAS STYLIST?!?!?

I just left and I have to say Im very happy about the results. Lauren knew exactly what to do with my over processed blonde hair to take me back to a more natural dark color. She saved my length that Ive been working on and made it easier for me to change up still if I wanted to do something different in the future. Well worth the money!

I went in to Capelli Salon in dire need of someone to fix my hair. After multiple bad haircuts in a row from other salons, I need it to be fixed ASAP.

I moved here about 6 months ago and have been through 3 different stylists/salons trying to get my icy blonde highlights perfect. SO thankful I found Capelli Salon, and more importantly, Brittany! She’s absolutely fabulous and has the sweetest personality. Recommend her 100%, especially to my fellow picky blondes. :)

Beth is a delicious hair engineer. She whips my naughty locks into place with ease. She tames my chaotic cowlicks and ethically euthanizes my eyebrows with a smile.I always enjoy my visits to this fine establishment. The management knows just how to stroke my irrational ego and tame my wild moodswings.The only reason Columbia, SC has not imploded in fiery destruction is because of the humanitarian work done by this fierce gaggle of ladies and gentlemen.

Review №66

I never post reviews but I feel compelled to respond to Ms. Olenas review. I was in the salon at the time getting my hair colored and witnessed the entire fiasco from about 2 feet away. Olena and her mother were immediately taken care of and Sara was nothing if not nice and attentive, as she always is. The mother did not speak more than 4 words of English so there was obviously a language barrier. Even so, Sara did what she was asked (both by the daughter and the mother) and explained to the clients several times that what she wanted simply was not possible with her hair. You can only layer and texterize so much when the client has thin hair, you have to work with what you have. I thought this was common sense but neither the mother nor daughter understood this. Sara did exactly as the clients asked within the limits of the clients hair. The mother walked out crying and the daughter caused a huge scene. Sara was always nice and apologetic- even though, in my opinion, she did nothing wrong. She even offered to pay for the haircut which is definitely something I would not have done after being treated that way.I have been going to Capelli for several years to get my hair colored and cut and I have NEVER seen the salon dirty or unkempt. Of course there will be hair on the ground, its a hair salon, but it is always swept up immediately. I have never had a bad experience with any of the ladies at Capelli. They are all fantastic, helpful, and attentive.

I have to agree with Haley, the salon is never unkempt or dusty...sounds like Olena just didnt want to pay for hair-cuts. I, however, love Lauren, Steve and the whole Capelli experience. Cant wait to see Lauren for my cut and color. My mother and I come there and have never walked out looking like we had been to Great Clips. OK, I HAVE BEEN BACK TO CAPELLI FOR MY CUT AND COLOR BY LAUREN, AS USUAL CAPELLI WAS ROCKIN AND ROLLING! LAUREN GAVE ME THE BEST CUT AND COLOR I HAVE EVER HAD. I NORMALLY WOULD NOT GIVE ANYONE THE FREEDOM TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH MY HAIR, BUT I HAVE ENOUGH CONFIDENCE IN MY HAIR ENGINEER TO DO WHAT SHE FEELS WILL WORK FOR ME. I WALKED OUT LOOKING LIKE A MOVIE STAR AND HAD SOME PEP IN MY STEP....OH AND BY THE WAY, THE PRINCESS, SARAH WAS NOT SLEEPING, SHE WAS WORKING HER ASS OFF, AS THEY ALL DO AT CAPELLI! IF YOU HAVENT BEEN TO CAPELLI, RUN DONT WALK TO GERVAIS AND GET THE BEST DAMN CUT AND STYLE THIS SIDE OF THE MISSISSIPPI!

Well I want to share my experience. Made 2 appointments on the same day for me and my mom. I have 18 months old son and mom dont drive so we all have to go. Decided that mom will take first appointment. We arrived there 5 min late. Hostess said that hairdresser would do dry haircut only now because of her next appointment or we can comeback at 11.15 and she will cut both of oir hair. I asked who will watch the baby, besides that it will be his nap time and he will be crunky. And asked why she couldnt do it now. Well she finally agreed to cut moms hair. Miss Sarah was like a sleeping princess. Moving slowly with tiredly annoyed look on her face. She was first or second day after vacation. Needless to say that no refreshments were offered. I stayed with them helping to explain what type of haircut mom wants ( mom speaks some English). When baby and I returned 20 min later they were almost done. Mom came out in tears. I didnt see much of a haircut on her at all. Even though I said word texturizing like hundreds of times, looked like hair was just cut an inch shorter than they were before. For $50 for haircut anyone would expect a little more than dirty salon (dust is everywhere and hair all over the place), unwelcoming environment and lazy uninitiative hairdresser. She was apologetic blaming language barrier, offered to pay for it herself. I canceled my appointment, paid half of price and left. Day was totally ruined.
