    Katy E.

    I came to Capitol to get my hair washed and styled since I recently had wrist surgery and washing it myself is difficult. I went to Aleia and she was fantastic! She showed/explained each product before using it, she was very thorough and paid close attention to detail. She also curled my hair beautifully and I walked out absolutely loving my hair! I'll definitely be back. If you do come in, be ready to spend some extra time here, and remember to be kind since they are students and are there to learn.

    This review is for lash extensions only. My niece and I went in for lash extensions. We both wanted hybrid lashes. We made it clear when booking the appointments. There was only 1 lash student/tech available, so our appointments were back to back. I went 2nd. When my niece came out I thought she had asked for classic once she got in the room with the tech, but then after my lashes were done, I found out that was not the case, it's just what she "ended up with". The lash tech was really nice, she made conversation, during which I found out that she already had received her lash "cert", but because she was still a student for other service lines, she was able to continue to provide lash service through the school. I would like to note, with the above being said, the rest of this review is not a reflection of the student (and therefore I will not mention her name here), but rather the instructor, curriculum and quality of the products that are used at the school. I have nothing but well wishes for the student and her future. The appointment was scheduled 3 hours for each of us, and it took all of the 3 hours that was scheduled for these lashes. They should have been the BEST set anyone has ever experienced, but they were not. When the tech was taping down the bottom lashes, she used about 7 layers of tape. The lash fan extensions were glued to multiple lashes, the individual lashes were ok. The amount of total individual lashes and fans were completely insufficient for a hybrid set. I had less than 12 fans on each eye, 2/3rds of my lashes had no extensions on them. The lashes that had fans them had so much glue that it hurt to blink, they were rough to the touch and hurt to clean them. The tech was a little heavy handed on the eyes as well. Again, I don't blame the tech, even though she had her cert, she was taught and supervised in a way that made all of this a "standard" of service and acceptable to her as the student. If the school considers what I received a "standard hybrid set", then they should definitely present pictures of their translation of a classic, a hybrid and a volume set of lashes either on the website, and/or when the client arrives and is communicating with the tech what type of lashes they want, so there is clarity of the expectation for both the student and the customer. I found overall the customer service we experienced was friendly, but the outcome was not acceptable and after 3 hours, I was tired of laying there with my eyes closed and my back hurt so bad from laying on a flat hard surface that I wasn't even willing to mention how skimpy the lashes look because I physically could not lay there any longer. The pictures I have included were taken the same day as the appointment. If this had been a classic set, it would have still been an insufficient amount of lashes. Again, these pictures are taken within a couple hours of the appointment, and it looks like I need a fill. I hope the school looks at this review and takes it into consideration for the curriculum in the future. I unfortunately will not be coming back to the school for lash extensions... probably not for other services either... which is unfortunate because having recently moved to the Omaha area, I was hoping to find students for different services and be able to follow them into their professional careers as a client. :(

    What I got

    I am thoroughly embarrassed by the state of my hair after leaving an appointment at Capitol Beauty School. I came in wanting the entirety of my hair lightened. I have done this before in the past, and I showed the student and the supervisor my inspo photo, being my hair but from a few months earlier. The supervisor told me I booked the wrong appointment and changed me to a "partial highlight" instead of "all over color." Now, I am not a hair stylist, so I didn't argue with her as I assumed my inspo photos spoke for themselves in what I wanted done. In hindsight, I should have stood up for myself more. The appointment took 4 hours, and I was there with my student after the business was closed. The supervisor that had been working with us had left for the day, and I didn't see another supervisor before I left. The student was kind, but she moved so slow. It was a really frustrating experience. The toner did not stay in my hair long enough or hit all of my hair as majority of my head is brassy and yellow when I asked for specifically cooler tones. There was absolutely no attempt to even blend my root. They didn't touch the back of my head resulting in a stark contrast leaving me unable to wear my hair in certain styles. Just a total disaster. I got home and couldn't believe what I saw. In tears, I purchased purple shampoo in an attempt to help not look this way. That didn't help much. I decided it was worth it to ask for a refund from the school. In an e-mail with the CEO of Capitol Beauty School CC'd, Capitol denied me a redo service or a refund as they said per their protocol they cannot help me as I tried to fix it myself afterward by applying purple shampoo. This is just insane to me. Them blaming this outcome on me applying purple shampoo is hard to put words to. And their CEO was on board with this response. What absolutely horrible customer service in an industry that requires quality customer care for success. I am so sad by this experience for so many reasons. There's no way anyone would find this completed product as up to standards or expectations. I put my hard earned money down to get a result that was no where near what I left with. The response from Capitol was laughable and they proved to be a company I will never work with or recommend to anyone for any service. Do yourself a favor and find a different salon to work with. I am bummed I have to spend more money to get this fixed at a different, professional salon, but I am embarrassed to be out in public like this. The first photos are what I asked for. The second are what I got. Absolutely horrible experience.

    I have been going to Capitol for years (haircuts, prom hair, etc.). I find the service provided by their students is super hit or miss. Have never had issue with waxing for facials with their staff, but haircuts I haven't always been please with. My most recent experience-I waited in the waiting area for 30 minutes before being helped. Not a great way to start off the appointment, right? So without prompting the receptionist took 20% of my total for my extended wait which I thought was very helpful and kind. They do go out of their way to correct situations if they have the ability to do so which I value a lot. I came in for a balayage which on my booking was told it could take around 4 hours. I planned for that amount of time, my person took 5 1/2 hours total and they didn't blend my highlights well. I was so tired that I didn't end up sharing how I felt. Some of the other technicians would shout across the chairs frequently which made me not love the environment, but part of that is unavoidable when you are in an open setting like this large scale salon. The receptionists are awesome and the staff was super helpful when I had to reschedule prior.

    The final outcome of my full head of highlights. Madison Boyd did a fabulous job! I highly recommend her!!!

    Madison Boyd did an outstanding job on my full head highlights, with haircut, today. From beginning to end she made me feel beautiful and spoiled. Her scalp massage was relaxing too. I highly recommend Madison Boyd!

    Overall I enjoyed my experience at Capitol school. My mother has been going there for all kinds of services for years, and I got my haircut there growing up. Last week I went in to Capitol for a facial. The facial cost $40 and was just a little over an hour. The student who did my facial was pretty good. He was a bit awkward, and should have created a more comfortable introduction by using small talk and displaying warm comfortable body language. He seemed very nervous. Once we begin the service, however, he did pretty well. His massage and application techniques were good, and he was very knowledgeable about the products. The facial consisted of two masks one hot and one cold, several mini massages, a scrub, an exfoliation, and some circulation treatments. The instructor performed the extractions. And of course, it's hard to beat a $40 facial these days. Even though it was a student, I felt like it was still a great experience. The salon and service areas are clean and modern. They have good products, and although they do recommend specific things for your skin, they don't go overboard with the sales pitch. I'll be back!

    Hunter Pruess colored and put layers in my hair. She listened to what I wanted and really took her time to get it just right. The color turned out beautiful!

    Was long and curly and now this.

    We would love to have you in for a free consultation anytime, feel free to book online or call: 402-333-3329 x 0 to schedule. Cut and style is $20.

    How much to bleach my hair a icy yellow from black?

    Jennifer that will take several sessions to go from black to a much lighter hair tone. I would recommend coming in for a free consultation so we can take a look at your hair and give you an estimate on time commitment and cost. You are welcome to… Read more

    Do you people do hair cuts and perms to the publis?

    We do Renae! We offer haircuts always for only $10 and our Perming price is typically $40.... the only time a perm would be higher priced is on longer hair to cover the cost of extra perm solution. Feel free to call Paula, Ryann, Mel or Kimberly… Read more

The lines aren't perfectly even, or even that close for some of them, so I feel $8 is too much. Had they warned me ahead of time instead of as I'm paying it might have been a different story. My niece got acrylics for $5 and her technician was amazing! She ranted and raved about her the whole way home. My stepdaughter got a shellac manicure for $10 and was happy with it. I know this is a school but I wasn't thrilled with hearing the lessons and some of the remarks that were made. I felt it was overkill some of the things being said and some of the comments were border line inappropriate from the instructor. I also was not a fan of the fact that the students had to call & text their instructor to come back so I could pay. The students cannot take payments and the instructor left to get food, she was gone almost an hour and from what I heard it is usually 2 hours so they called her to come in. Overall the quality was good, I just wasn't happy with certain aspects. I may go back but I honestly don't know bc I don't really want to deal with the comments she was making, the students being borderline uncomfortable, potentially being stuck with no way to pay (if she leaves) and the unpredictability of the cost.

I really love…read morespa treatments and make it a point to go to high-end spas when I'm on vacation; but just because there's a hefty price tag on it doesn't mean it's necessarily that much better in terms of quality. The actual facial I received here was incredible. I would call VALO a demi spa in that it has some amenities, but not that many. They do have a nice locker room and offer spa style robes and sandals, and you can take a shower after your service if you like, but they don't have a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, etc. Their robes were pretty size inclusive, the biggest one I saw was a two XL. The facial room itself was nicely appointed, and had a feature I haven't seen in a long time, which was a little light display on the ceiling that was very soothing. The facial bed/table was very comfortable and ergonomic. The facialist was warm and friendly, but professional. She spoke to explain things as she was doing them, and to warn me when something would be cold or bright, but didn't speak so often that I felt like she was interrupting my Zen. I can tell she was very well trained, and her massage technique was excellent. Her hands felt experienced, and the way she moved from treatment to treatment was seamless. The only thing I noticed that could be improved upon was the volume of the music in the lobby. I really like the music they had, which was sort of a more modern spa track, but as the receptionist was giving me the tour, she spoke with her back to me and between that and the music I couldn't hear what she was saying.

It is so nice and quiet, and even waiting for your appointment is part of the experience. Sitting in their dimly lit lounge, wearing a luxurious robe, sipping a delicious cup of tea, and watching the "flames" dance in the firepit...it feels so indulgent, and since phones aren't allowed, it forces you to just be present for a little bit. I usually go for facials, and I love the Swedish Maria Åkerberg products they use. These are also available for purchase. Halle is a wonderful aesthetician, and I always feel so refreshed and relaxed when I leave. They provide the robe and slippers, and have lockers to keep your belongings in during the appointment. The locker room also has a shower, and some complimentary hair products and deodorant available for use. Everyone is always so friendly, and the prices are really comparable to other spas in town. To my knowledge though, this is the only place of its kind in town - a true, stand alone day spa. Definitely go if you're looking for some quality "you time".
