I have lived in almost every major metropolitan city on the west coast and I have always had a…read morereally hard time finding hair stylists who do a great job with my thick, wavy, highlighted hair and who are also friendly and interesting enough to spend 3-4 hours with every 3 months. Thank goodness I found Kellie when I moved to Nevada City! She does a fantastic job with my cut and color and takes great care of me during the time I am in her gorgeous salon. I would give her 5 stars as a stylist without hesitation. I removed one star though because the customer service at the front desk can be less than stellar, though I have never had anyone be exceedingly rude or anything- just not 5 star worthy. I have had multiple haircuts from other stylists in the salon when Kellie wasn't available and I have been impressed every single time. As someone who has had many services in shi-shi Beverly Hills salons and spas I have to tell you that the quality of stylists at Bel Capelli is top notch and is pretty close to what you would find in an Aveda salon in a big city. They also offer waxing and nail services as well. I highly recommend you check them out!

Disclaimer/ This is not a trash on Bel Capelli and their stylists kind of post- this is for…read moreeducational purposes so others don't make the same mistake I did. Not worth the $400 hair cut & color. I had a consultation with Ally and I showed her pictures of what I was going for and the color I wanted and that went fine, no problems, but when I got done with my official appointment my hair didn't turn out how I wanted it from the photo. It was a 5 hour appointment and I paid $220 plus 20% tip for her time. A couple days go by and I compared the photo of what I wanted and my result and decided to ask her to fix it. I didn't clarify beforehand if the fix would be free of charge because that's been my experience at salons but no, not this time. I spent another $140 to leave the salon with still not really what I was going for and now it's been a month and still not impressed and pretty mad honestly that I spent that much money and got a result far from what I wanted but maybe it's not all her fault, maybe she thinks she did a good job or that she just did what she wanted, the photos I brought in of what I wanted didn't matter, maybe she doesn't have much experience, heck, she was the first person I made an appointment with since moving to a new area but I figured this salon could do better but I should've done more research. The color is so subtle hardly anybody has noticed I changed my hair and to spend $400 I definitely would've wanted it to be noticeable and receive lots of compliments-it's pretty disappointing. I'm not sure what to do either at this point besides get my frustration out in this review. I already tried going in to have it fixed and was charged and I'm not spending more than I already have...I could call the salon and complain but to what benefit? The receptionist probably won't care and what would Ally think of me sitting in her chair for the 4th time still unhappy with my results? Ally if you're reading this I'm sorry, you're a nice gal but $400 to not be impressed is not a good feeling. I'll attach photos below in case anybody reads this far and is curious. Left photo is the one I brought in and right is my result. No No

Maddy's station is extremely clean, well maintained, and in a great place downtown with parking. She is the best vibe!

I have very fine hair, and Gillian used a razor texturizing technique on it that completely…read moredestroyed the shape and integrity of my haircut. It looked okay when styled in the salon, but once I got home it was obvious how uneven, awkward, choppy, and over-thinned one side had become. My hair no longer falls naturally or smoothly, and the ends now look frayed and damaged rather than cleanly cut. I have honestly never been this dissatisfied with a haircut before. I ended up having to go to another stylist to try to fix it, and even they told me there's only so much that can be corrected right now without taking off even more length. I was advised not to cut my hair again for several months so it can grow back enough density to reshape properly. I also think clients should be clearly warned before razor cutting or aggressive texturizing techniques are used, especially on very fine hair, since many people may not realize how dramatically it can change the texture and density of the cut. If you have very fine hair, I would strongly recommend being extremely cautious about razor cutting or aggressive texturizing techniques.

When I started looking for bridal artists, I was immediately drawn to Michele's work because her brides looked absolutely beautiful and glam, but still natural and completely themselves. After working with her, I can confidently say that she is every bit as wonderful as her work suggests! I also loved that Michele has a background in skincare, and you can absolutely tell how much that knowledge informs her approach to beauty. She understands how everything works together to create a beautiful, lasting look, and I would highly recommend working with her on a skincare or facial treatment plan in the months leading up to your wedding, too. Throughout the process, Michele was flexible and accommodating when a few of my girlfriends wanted to add services, and on the wedding day, she felt less like a vendor and more like another friend getting ready with us. She even stayed for touch-ups during my bridal photos, which made me feel like a true celebrity. Glam squad alert! One of my favorite moments was right before I walked down the aisle. It was just Michele and me in the bridal suite, and even though I was incredibly nervous, she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. It genuinely felt like hanging out with a friend, and that meant more to me than I can explain. She helped me feel beautiful, confident, and ready for such a big moment. And the best part? My hair and makeup looked absolutely perfect all night long! Michele is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and such a calming presence to have around on your wedding day.
