Jessica is amazing. I was in dire need of a new hairstyle. Jessica was able to squeeze me in at the last minute. She's so friendly and easy to work with and you can tell she has the experience. She worked around what I wanted and made suggestions along the way. I love that she's realistic and doesn't push you to spending more money. In the end, my hair was better than I expected and I'm loving it read more

Bowie is my hair stylist. He does an outstanding job. Previously to seeing Bowie, I used to travel from barber to barber with only dreams of a nice haircut. Sometimes I talk to Bowie quite a bit; other times I am a statue. Either way, I'm always comfortable around him. I'm saying this because there have been many other times when I couldn't have said the same thing. He cuts Asian hairstyles well. At first, I did not know the type of style that I wanted to don. He handed me a (Japanese?) magazine with a bunch of hairstyles depicted. It was all too overwhelming, because I wasn't born with the talent to analyze the aesthetic beauty of 500 hairstyles in a span of 30 seconds. That, and the magazine was several years old, so I just gave him full reign over my hair. When I first visited Bowie a few years ago, I was always unhappy with my hair. My first cut from him was a moment of happiness. Imagine having to eating foot fungus for the entirety of your life. Now imagine having your first slice of steak. Om nom nom nom nicehair nom nom. The price was ~$45 (excluding tip)--which was reasonable--in exchange for the pleasure of well-coiffured appearance. read more

After living in the mainland for many years, I came back to Hawaii and tried several places to get my hair done. I tried several salons but just could not find a place that did my hair the way I wanted it to be--that is, until I found Jessica at Salon Capello. In addition to being a nice person in general and listening to what the client wants, she really knows her stuff when it comes to hair. She patiently answers questions and explains options. She takes great care when cutting and styling my hair, and she gives the best scalp massages ever. I also really appreciate how understanding she is--she is kind to my kids and was understanding and patient when was running a little late. Really happy I found Jessica and Salon Capello! Also, salon is beautiful and clean and during covid masks are used and temperature taken. read more

they did amazing i was there for a trim and highlights. it took 5 hours. i don't think i got his name but he was chinese. they took temperatures and wore masks read more

Needed a new place to get my hair done after coming back to hawaii and this salon was great. Very clean staff was nice and communication was awesome! Amy did my hair and I will definitely be returning. read more

Bowie is clearly a pro, positive energy and a contented person. The kind of stylist you want! I have been reluctant to pay more than $60 in the past for a cut but Bowie is worth every penny. Found my new stylist! read more

Definitely will be coming back! Jessica was able to help me from the get go. She gave me the pros and cons. She was easy to talk to and the outcome was definitely worth it. read more

Dont go here for layers!! Ruined my hairstyle- very choppy haircut - did not blend well at all. Too much volume even after haircut. Weird square shaped hairline when seen from the back. I kept telling what I wanted for my hair and he kept saying that he knows what he is doing. Front bangs also with abrupt ends - do not merge with the rest of the hair at all. read more

Came in to Salon Capello with VERY specific instructions for my haircut, and Jody delivered! He gave me an excellent shampoo with good pressure. And when it came to the haircut itself he is extremely skilled. I really appreciated his attention to detail. Simply awesome. The style at the end was a little lack luster for me, but whatever. If you are looking for someone with precision cutting skills, Jody is your guy! read more

Jody rocks! Over the last year, he has worked with me tweaking my haircut until it is EXACTLY what I want. He doesn't rush and he really does a first rate cut. Incredibly happy with the service and the end result. Thank you Jody! The location is convenient, in Kaka'ako, with parking on the street and in the building. read more

The best experience having my hair colored by Jessica! She is a sweet, down to earth girl who is so easy to talk to. Time just flew by while I was having my first balayage session because she is just so pleasant. That was the icing on the cake because she is such a talented colorist! AMAZING. I found her via all these awesome Yelp reviews so I just had to write one myself to concur that they are all true! Thank you, Jessica! I'm so very happy with the results! Looking forward to the next session! read more

Just had the best haircut of my life from the amazing stylist Jody. I really got lucky having him, because I called last minute and was able to get an amazing stylist and later found out he was the owner. Jody is amazing! He has such skill, and he listened to what I wanted. He also is an amazing head masseuse! I didn't want to leave the shower bowl. Overall, I had a great experience! Thank you Jody for giving me what I wanted! read more

Jessica is amazing at her job! A wonderful stylist & I recommend her if you're looking to add some color to your hair :)

After much research to find a color specialist to fix my ashy color done by Inez @PB, which was a disaster, the reviews here lead me to Jessica. Jessica is a true professional,thoughtful and strategic in her approach as she tried to find a solution to fix the damage done by previous hairdresser. We discussed options and bc we both were new to each other there was trust that had to be given by both her and myself. Jessica took time and precision and as she completed my color it was amazing how she was able to not only fix the color but to bring some life back to my locks. I will always be a customer and a fan bc she is thoughtful and also gives really good info on what to steer clear of in the way of products for your locks! Thanks to reviews here I was able to narrow down my options quickly. Thank You Jessica! read more

After letting my hair go, Bowie at Salon Capello gave me a much-needed hair transformation. I showed him pictures of what I was hoping for and he explained what he could and could not do to give me the hairstyles in the photos. He showed me how to style my hair and how to take care of my hair. I really appreciated the way he communicated and his artistry. read more

I am in the military, but I hate looking like I just got the old $8 chop up at the exchange. When I moved to Honolulu, I searched high and low for a replacement tonsorial artist. Luckily, I moved into the Imperial building on Cooke and Kapiolani, and my answer resided on the street level. I met Bowie when he was chilling out in front of the place, and asked him if he had any time available for a cut. He brought me right in and I was treated to one of the best all scissor cuts I have ever had. I felt like my head of hair was a bonsai tree, being perfectly trimmed to meet high aesthetic standards. Needless to say, I almost exclusively let Bowie touch my hair, and I recommend him to all of my friends. It might cost a little more than getting a rat bite at the exchange, but I have always felt that your hair is one of the first things that people notice about your appearance. read more

I had been dyeing my hair dark brown for a while now and was ready to get back to blonde. After doing some research online of who to go see, everything I read told me to go see Jessica. I am so glad I listened to the reviews. Jessica did such an amazing job with my hair and getting me back to my desired color. She really knows her stuff and is such a sweet person. I will definitely be going back to her when I need my hair done again. read more

I go to Jessica and she is AMAZING! First of all, I have never met a hairstylist who listens as well as she does. She genuinely wants to make sure her work is not only quality, but is EXACTLY what you want. I first went to her for a haircut and she did such an amazing job I went back to get my hair colored about a month later. A week after getting it colored she texted me asking how my hair was doing, and if I was satisfied with the color. I am no stranger to a hair salon, I almost always color my hair every other month, but I have NEVER had a hairstylist follow up with me after I've left the salon (unless I'm the one doing the follow-up). Jessica is very knowledgable about hair and she is extremely personable and easy to speak with. I recommend this place 100%! read more

A malihini to Honolulu, I was way overdue for a haircut and color. I loved the reviews on Yelp for Salon Capello and decided to give it a try. Anna was my stylist and she sure had her work cut out for her! My mane needed taming and I also asked for highlights in addition to covering roots. She was very thorough, checking in with me at different intervals to decide on how light the highlights would be. The whole process took 4 hours, and the end result was a lighter and more youthful cut and color I could work with with copious amounts of beach and swimming time. Anna has a quiet sensibility, but after a little prodding for conversation, she opened up and I enjoyed her adventurous spirit. It might be the military spouse in me, but when we get to our new destination, making conversation, alliances, and friendships are front and center, running a close second to a great color and style. (which becomes critical right before Military Balls and other formal events, which we have annually.) A delicate balance must be reached when entrusting a new stylist with one's tresses and a great test of trust between both people. I'm thankful to have found Anna, who passed my trust test and tress test! She has a loyal client for the next 3-6 years we are here. Thanks Anna. read more

Bowie has been cutting my hair since I was 17 which means I've been coming here for....uh....2 years. Kidding. We just realized today he's been cutting my hair for 11 years and I'm hoping he'll be cutting it for at least 11 more. I live in LA now and if I had a huge bankroll, I would either fly him out to LA once a month to cut my hair or I'd fly myself out here to get it cut. I've yet to find anyone out in my City Of Angels who can cut hair like Bowie. Actually, he doesn't just cut my hair. Bowie's the person I run/fly over the friggin' Pacific Ocean to see when I'm in tears because someone butchered my hair. He'll take one look at me, silently lift the chopped and massacred mass of what's left of my hair, meet my tearful eyes in the mirror, flash me his trademark smile and say in that super mellow voice "Okay, Bonnie. Don't worry. We're going to fix this. So! Tell me what you've been up to!". In Bowie's hands, scissors become instruments of magic. As I chatter away at him, he effortlessly smooths away the mistakes of others and my anxiety over the state of my hair melts away like a bad dream I've already started to forget. By the time he shows me what my hair looks like, I am in tears again but this time they are ones of joy and gratitude. You might think it's silly to be so fanatical about something you know will grow in time and write off the importance of someone who understands how hair ties into a person's perception of themselves. I used to be like that...until I had someone chop my hair into what looked like an EKG pattern into my bangs AND the back of my head. That was the moment I realized how crucial it is to have someone in your life who understands that your hair is something more than fibers that will "grow out eventually". :) read more

I'm bummed to write this review, because I had high hopes for this salon, but unfortunately I was very disappointed with how my hair turned out and I've been struggling to fix it. read more

I have FINALLY found my hairdresser! I've been to too many disappointing people so when i really needed a drastic change, i came running here. My friend (who will remain nameless due to high demand because she's amazing) chopped, shaped, entertained me every step of the way. Parking is located in the garage right off of cooke street. They do validate so don't worry about parking. Clean, affordable, and friendly...what more could you ask for? read more

Salon Capello is amazing!! I just got my hair done today, for the first time in a year and a half. After 3 crappy haircuts, 1 which left me in tears, I was willing to find the best, and thats when I stumbled upon Salon Capello on yelp. I asked for Bowie the store owners and I was impressed. The haircut itself was an hour and a half of meticulous work on Bowie's behalf. He took the time to ask me how I wanted my hair and it was exactly the way I pictured it. Bowie is magic with the scissors and I will be and recommending Bowie in the future. I LOVE my hair!! Hehe, also instead of flat ironing my hair he took the time to blow dry it. ^____^ Edit: It is 9/04/2009 My hair has grown out perfectly. The layers are still present and it flows and has volume. Thank you so much Bowie, you weren't only thinking about my hair then, but also in the future. I am soo happy =). read more

My mother has been a client of Jody's (co-owner) since the 90's and through middle and high school I used to follow her to her hair appts. It wasn't till I was in college that I had enough money to afford more than a $10 haircut. Since then, I have not looked back and it's been a good 12 years of hair days! A few years back, I left the corporate world and enrolled in cosmetology school (Paul Mitchell and Aveda) and have had a lot of haircuts along the way...there is no one I trust more than Jody. Let's just say, each time my hair gets messed up because some instructor wants to cut/color it or a classmate wanted to "try" something, I've turned to Jody to fix it. Let's just say I rather pay 10 times more than get another free haircut/color. Lesson repeated and learned the hard way. I now reside in CA and fly back to HI biannually and i defintely find time to squeeze in a haircut/body wave perm! I wish I could fly back frequently since it's best to get a trim every 6 wks and not every 6 months. However, since Jody is such a master "hair" craftsman, my hair grows out perfectly and I retain the shape. I still get compliments months after and from working in salons in the past, I've had coworkers comment on how my hair grows out perfectly without having to get it maintained! Now that's a compliment, when other stylists asks who cuts my hair! Definitely book your appointment with him! read more

My other half referred me to Bowie for my next haircut. I had been in a hair rut and my hairdresser of 7 years had been unable to get me out of it. She had worked with me since my mid-20s, when beauty and youth were still on my side. Bowie was a last resort, so I had low expectations. I didn't know what I wanted him to do, and other than specifying I wanted to keep the shoulder length and that the previous layers were cut to add body to my crown, I spared him the monologue. I sat down to a nice shampoo and intense scalp massage. This thought crossed my mind: If I didn't like how he cuts, I will come back regularly for this. Since he doesn't have nails, he can apply firm pressure without clawing your scalp. I was so relaxed, I nearly fell asleep. Bowie worked in polite silence for the rest of the hour. I looked around at the modest size salon with hair products I mostly never heard of. The moment of truth happened as Bowie was blow-drying my hair with a round brush: Wow, how did he know what to do? The cut was flattering for my face shape, which isn't the easiest to work with (I have prominent features, which make me self-conscious). Yet, the layers looked cool and effortless, unlike the fussy layers my previous hairdresser would give me. Wispy longish side bangs grazed my cheekbones, softening my face. I asked him what kind of cut this was so I can request it again. He chuckled, saying that his cuts don't have names. He looks at the person's face and how her hair is, and he knows what to do. So basically he has both the skills and the artistic talent to cut hair. (Later, I found out he is one of the salon's co-owners.) I went out and bought a large round brush so I can try to duplicate Bowie's style at home. Even though I don't get it right, it still falls right. I have a new lease on life. I will no longer be tying my hair back. Oh, and he charges as much as my previous hairdresser. He's worth every penny. In sum, it's hard to risk what's safe on what's uncertain, but I am glad I did. I thoroughly enjoy my hair cut and the location is great: It's actually a shorter drive, and I enjoy eating pho at the Vietnamese place next door. read more

I swing by Cafe Grace at least once a week f or obvious reasons. This time I for whatever reason noticed that I needed a haircut . I walked over to Salon Capello and Bowie the owner took me on right away without an appointment. Bowie took the time to get to know me as a client , which ultimately determines the kind of haircut an individual wants. Great haircut and even better service . I can sum up the experience in a few points 1. Extreme attention to detail 2. Personalized service 3. No rush and super relaxed experience. Am I sold ? You bet I am ...... I have already booked my next three haircuts. Thanks again Bowie , I am looking forward to seeing you again. read more

Jessica is great! I went from waist length hair to shoulder length. She spent time with me before the cut to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted! It turned out perfect! If you want someone meticulous who will take the time to understand what you are looking for, she is it! read more

Thank you Jessica for another great haircut! You do a wonderful job of taming my unruly mess of hair when it gets long. Jessica makes an effort to find out how I normally comb or style my hair (or lack thereof!) and finds a style that works for me. I always leave happy and more importantly, my wife approves! read more

I highly recommend going to Jessica! This was my first time going to her. Prior to my appointment, I was able to text with her about my hair. I showed her what my hair looks like now versus what I'm going for. She was able to give me a time estimate and a price estimate. She even let me know what she was planning on doing to get my hair where I want it to be. At the appointment, she was great! She is very easy to talk to and she really took the time to understand what I want the finished look to be. Jessica really takes the time to do the absolute best for you. This is the first time that I have walked out of a haircut feeling good rather than uncomfortable. I will definitely be back! read more

I LOVE my new haircut! My hair was just flat, boring, dull and weighed down. It was silently screaming for help! I've been contemplating going short... I meant "short" for a really really long time but never mustered up the courage to do so as my hair has always been long. So I said to heck with it, let's chop it all up! Not literally bald though. Ha! Jody got me seated right away asked what look I was going for and I said short. He then gave me the best shampoo and head massage E-V-E-R. Literally no joke, I started falling asleep in my chair! He took his time with my haircut, added great body and volume to it. I'm glad I came here, finding the right salon and hairstylist can be nerve wracking. I'm sure to be back again! read more

Salon Capello - My new short hair due. I love it! - Hair Salons Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Thanks to Yelp, and after reading DomR's review I decided to give Bowie a try as my dry kinky curly hair which is too easily butchered by the standard franchised men's hair saloons. I was a bit apprehensive having my hair cut in Honolulu after having my hair cut for years by the excellent owner operator stylist at Odyssey Hair Designs in Stamford, CT by an Italian man who really could compete with Vidal Sassoon. To my pleasure, Bowie spent near an hour on my scalp, washing and trimming my hair to perfection. He was also very personable in making me feel welcomed and comfortable. He took me in for my appointment at 9 AM, which I appreciated, because I don't like having my hair cut in front of women, so I had the place all to myself. I recommend Salon Capello for a great men's haircut. read more

First off, I just have to say that Jessica is FANTASTIC! She was warm, friendly, made me feel right at home took the time to find out exactly what I wanted done, before getting started. This is the first cut and highlight that I have had done since moving from the Mainland in February. I was a little nervous because I had a great stylist that I had gone to for the past 4 years back in Missouri, and finding someone new can be a bit of a daunting task. I am so glad that I was able to find Salon Capello and Jessica :o) As far as price is concerned, it was about $50 more expensive for a cut and all-over highlight than I paid on the Mainland, but everything seems to be more expensive on the island, so it was what I expected to pay, and well worth every penny! read more

I really enjoy getting my hair cut here! The attention to detail and the friendliness of everyone makes it very nice and relaxing. For a men's cut it costs about $50 but I've always been pretty happy with the results. read more

I've never dyed my hair and have been hesitant to do so for the past two years - finally I took the plunge and did balayage for the first time and I'm so glad I did because I absolutely LOVE it. Jessica Ho did a consultation of the balayage for my hair and asked for photos of my current hair as well as photos of what I was looking for. Although it is on the pricier side it is 100% worth it for quality balayage - I've done consultations for balayage in NY, SF Bay Area, and Oahu and was hard pressed to find someone who is as truly dedicated to making sure you walk out with a smile on your face and loving your hair. She took the extra time to talk through what I was looking for, provide her expert opinion on the haircut, formula, color, and style to match what I was looking for - I was so impressed by how meticulous she was at every step of the way. Thank you Jessica Ho for an absolutely beautiful balayage and incredible experience! read more

Yesterday we were driving around Kapiolani Blvd. checking where the salon was located with intention of making an appointment for next weekend if possible. As soon as we got in we were greeted by Jodi, I explained what I was looking for and immediately he understood and offer to take me right away. I can even explained how satisfied I am of the results! My hair was dull, with no style at all. He colored my hair, style and cut and I and static! My hair looks so different it looks healthy...I love my hair again! I will be back very soon. (making my appointment this week) Jodi is very nice and understanding of your needs. I highly recommend this salon! read more

Always a wonderful experience here! I've been coming to this salon for years, and i couldn't imagine ever going anywhere else!!

I moved here last month and searched for a perfect salon to cut my long hair. Jessica went above and beyond. She kept my length while giving it a great shape and layers. If you're searching for someone, call and request Jessica! I will definitely be back! read more

My 1st haircut in Oahu and it was great. Jody took great care of me. He spent about 1.5 hours on my stubbornly thick coarse Asian hair. He shampooed it twice and also gave me a scalp massage. Very detailed oriented. I told him- I want to keep my length but lose the weight. He did exactly that. Will definitely return. read more

Love it here. Happy customer for years. Jessica is the best, the Vidal Sassoon of the island. I always get compliments on my hair when I leave the salon. read more

After a botched hair cut on Maui, I had to wait 2 months before I went to an island with a decent salon. Based on yelp reviews I visited Capello and saw Jody. I knew nothing about him except that he was highly recommended, but it was great to hear that he was from Hong Kong (where I lived for 2 years) so we had some stuff to chat about. He did a great job on my hair. I'm a guy with a pretty average hair style so it wasn't exactly rocket science, but he didn't treat me like an easy job and took his time and made sure everything was done the right way. Not super cheap for a guy's cut, but for a salon the prices were pretty average. I don't get to Oahu too often, but if I'm there and I need a haircut with some technical precision, then I will head back to Salon Capello and have Jody help me out again. read more
