One of my coworkers stated that for my wedding, "You just don't want to look pretty, but look beautiful. Be beautiful." Caprice accomplished that and more for my wedding. I was so nervous about finding a beautician for my wedding hairstyle and makeup. I also live across the country from the Bay Area. I needed a beautician that also understood African American hairstyles and makeup. I am so glad I found her. We video chatted about everything I wanted and Caprice made sure I was going to get it. For my wedding, Caprice traveled to my Airbnb and completed my hair and makeup so flawlessly. Caprice was so sweet and friendly. She made me feel like a princess. Thanks Caprice! read more

Devine Beauty Studio - Wedding Day! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

Two stars. I went in for a wig install and soft glam makeup. I had a lot of questions for the owner, Caprice, prior to the appointment. She was super responsive and helpful before our session. The hair and makeup looked amazing as I got out of the chair. I tipped generously for a job well done. I was happy as I left the salon. Everything was all good here. I took off three stars because: 1) Within a day, it was clear the braid-down was too tight. It gave me terrible headaches and an outbreak of tension bumps on my hair line (photo). I was taking Tylenol multiple times a day for a week. 2) I texted to let the owner know I was having issues, and she didn't get back to me at all. When I didn't hear from her, I took the install down myself. It hurt that badly. 3) When I followed up with her again a day or two later, the owner denied that anything was wrong with the install. She blamed my week of headaches and rash of tension bumps on me being "tender-headed". The tone of the message was snarky and defensive. In sum, her fees for the lace wig install are high ($435) and I tipped her well for how good the final look was. Later, when I had an issue with my install as a result of overly tight braids/sew-in and asked for help, she made it seem like it was my fault. That felt terrible. Despite paying over $500 to get my hair done, I was very disappointed by the lack of professionalism and customer service that was demonstrated in my case. It's not normal to have splitting headaches and rash of tension bumps after a wig install. To be told otherwise is just nonsense. REPLY TO OWNER'S RESPONSE 1) Caprice wasn't going above and beyond to by "allowing me" to come in one day after the wig install for a makeup session. She had an opening on her calendar. I wanted a bridal glam consultation. We discussed it. We booked it. A plain and simple standard service for any client 2) Caprice didn't give me a middle part when I saw her the second day. I had already given myself a middle part. But yes, Caprice helped flatten it to lay down. And yes, Caprice also recurled my hair. 3) When I saw the owner the day after the install for the makeup appointment, I didn't mention headaches because I expected some pain and discomfort immediately after a wig installation. At that time, I was taking Tylenol and waiting for it to fade. What I didn't think was reasonable - was for the pain to continue unabated for 5+ days. I also didn't expect to be ghosted for multiple days after I reached out with my concern. Further, there's photo evidence of tension bumps on my hairline. Those are never supposed to happen. You don't get a tension bumps rash from being "tenderheaded". That's a result of an irritated scalp after overly tight braiding. This is how you get traction alopecia. 4) We didn't try multiple hair styles. We discussed the possibility of seeing multiple looks, but ended up only trialing one: curled hair cascading down the shoulders. 5) The experience wasn't all bad, which is why this review is 2 stars - instead of less. Before the appointment, Caprice spent a significant amount of time answering my questions and consulting with me about the hair and getting the wig bleached and plucked. During the install, we had a nice time chatting. The hair and makeup looked stunning. After the install, she gave me advice via text on what products to use. Throughout all this, she was friendly and very responsive. I tipped her 18-20% on the services, paying over $600 in total for hair and makeup. Though expensive, I considered this a worthwhile investment in my bridal consultation process. I assumed (wrongly) that her premium prices would mean that she would be committed to customer satisfaction as part of her brand. 6) My negative experience began when I complained about the headaches and wig discomfort - Caprice did a complete 180 on me. This was totally unexpected, given the prior interactions. She disappeared from text until I chased her down, and she was defensive and dismissive of my complaint - a complaint that was about being in pain - not that something was wrong with the look itself. I've always said the look was great. This complaint was about hair health. As such, I was hoping for a more sympathetic response, and for her to demonstrate that she cared. To not see that has been incredibly disappointing. read more

Devine Beauty Studio - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

There are many hairdressers out there, but Caprice stands out from the rest. Unlike other stylists, I don't have to constantly supervise her while she works on my hair. It took me a while to find a stylist in the Bay Area who truly understands their craft, and Caprice is that person. She is highly professional and always punctual. I used to have reservations about lace closures because they often looked fake. I can confidently say that I will never go back to leaveouts. Caprice has a unique talent for making a full sewn-in look incredibly natural. I couldn't recommend a better hairdresser than her. read more

This place is amazing! I hadn't taken my daughter into a salon in almost two years because of the pandemic, but with school starting up I really wanted her to look and feel great on her first day of middle school. So, we found Devine and decided to give it a whirl! We booked with Nichole, and she was phenomenal. Not only was she incredibly flexible with the timing of the appointment (even though she had a conflict, she moved mountains to make our appointment time work!), she was so friendly and enjoyable to chat with. We all wore masks and it felt very safe. Nichole did 2 feedin braids on my daughter, and they look so cute! My kiddo is over the moon with her new style and can't wait to show her friends. Thanks so much, Nichole and Devine Beauty! We can't wait to be back again soon. read more

Tay was great! She was on time, welcoming and did a great job. My braids are neat and matched the hairstyle I showed her. I will be coming back! read more

Devine Beauty Studio - Box Braids - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Jose, California

On Friday November 17, 2023 @4:30pm with Tay. On the website I sighed up for 5 cornrows on top of hair with extensions. The price was $55.00 just for the cornrows without out extension. I was charged $150 for five cornrows with extension. i had single braids done with Tay during the summer she charged me $150 for top of my head/hair. Don't make sense I was charged $150.00 for cornrows with extensions for just the top of my head/hair. read more

Let me first put it out there that I hadn't been to a stylist in at least one and one-half years, so y'all know that I was highly due for some maintenance. During the pandemic, I tried my best to maintain my hair while we were in a shelter-in-place and businesses across the country were shut down. I was introduced to Tay by a long time friend, who just happened to be her sister, and she raved about Tay's skills. I had been meaning to contact Tay before the pandemic and life got in the way. Finally, I looked at my hair and I could see each strand crying for professional help, so I contacted Tay. I was instructed to book an appointment on the Booksy app, which I actually liked and appreciated it for its efficiency. The Devine Beauty Salon page was well put together and I like that their prices were set-up so that I wasn't left in the dark about what was expected from me regarding the cost of the services I needed. When I visited the shop, Tay was the only stylist there and she greeted me with a smile, as she thoroughly cleaned and disinfected her area. Here's what I loved about Tay's care for my hair: 1. the way she gently scrubbed my scalp during my wash; 2. the high-end products she used; 3. the advice she gave me about what she saw that my hair needed and some of the common mistakes we make or misinformation we are told, as Black women, about our hair and how we deal with it; 4. the fact that she gave me the names of some products I could use during my self-hair-care in between visits and where I could get them; 5. and just her overall realness. When I left there, my once dried ends locks were silky straight (without a relaxer) and just as healthy as they had ever looked in my younger years. Five days later, and my hair still looks like I had got it done today. I will definitely be coming back to Tay for my next visit...I reckon every six weeks May be my professional routine, especially when I have to get back to "real life". Thank you Tay!!! You truly know your craft in hair!!! read more

Professionalism is huge with me ! From the first time I walked into Devine Beauty Studio I knew this would be my permanent hair salon.

I absolutely LOVE my custom color and will definitely be booking again read more
