Capelli’s Gentlemen’s Barbershop

Hands down the best grooming service I have ever had. I wasn’t originally booked with Mackenzie, but ended up in her chair BC of scheduling mistakes; extremely happy that happened. Haven’t had this many compliments on a cut/​cleanup and she cracked me up the whole time. I will definitely be back!

I recently had what is, hands down, the best cut I have ever had. My barber did an excelent job! She was very nice, quick and super talented. I have a great fade and my very difficult hair is super easy to syle now. Not to mention I was greated with an offer of a soft drink, bottled water or espresso and the waiting area is super comfortable. This is a great spot for guys who want to look good and dont have a ton of time.

Mackenzie Carbone has been cutting my hair the last seven months. She is great and honestly has given me the best haircut of my life.
Mackenzie is funny and easy going for hose who don’t want to talk and simply get there hair cut.
I would recommend her to any friend. Now go get the best haircut you have ever had!
You’re welcome.

I always go and see Mackenzie at the the 4^th and Madison location. I have been getting my hair cut by her for the last 7 years and I will keep going back to her as long as I can. She always makes me feel comfortable she’s fun to talk to and always gives me the best haircut I’ve ever had. She goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a normal haircut. She gives the best head massage, she fixes up my eyebrows, and I always leave feeling great.

I had a great experience and an even better haircut. Mackenzie cut my hair and I couldn’t be more pleased. If you go to this place do yourself a favor and ask for her. Easily the best haircut I’ve had. I’ll be back again, again, and again.

Excellent service and a great hair cut! I was having a hectic day and needed to get a hair cut and they were able to accommodate me same day, which was fantastic. As soon as I walked in the lady who cut my hair offered me a delicious espresso. The stylist/​barber was meticulous, paying close attention to detail. At the end I had a relaxing scalp massage and shampoo and then she styled my hair so that I could go right back to work. Great place!

Look, this place is great when you need a $ 50 haircut that should have cost you $ 22.
The ladies are kind, the place has soft seats, and they have all the comforts in the world. But if you’re not a full on female that needs 60 minutes to cut your hair, then this place is not worth it. My cut is very simple, I don’t need all the craziness. I work in this building, and I still go out of my way to go somewhere else for my cut.
Yes, this is convenient. Yes, the people that work here are nice, but so are a lot of the other places that I go. If I need an emergency cut while I’m at work, I will go here, otherwise, I will go to my regular place and save myself $ 25.

I was immediately impressed by the service at Capelli’s. The receptionist was welcoming and offered me something to drink. I didn’t have to wait long for the stylist to come and get me. I was very pleased with my haircut and plan on returning.

I have tried many different stylists and barbers around Seattle, including a few different stylists at Capelli’s. I was referred to Regina from a friend and I can confidently say I have found my goto person for hair! I really appreciate her attention to detail and efficiency and would recommend her to anyone.

The entire experience was great. Regina gave me the best haircut I’ve ever received. She was meticulous, and cared about every little detail. In the end in turned out to be an amazing haircut, and I’ll be back soon.

Anyone know where Joni went (she’s left Capelli’s)?
Joni’s a great stylist and I would like to continue to see her if she’s moved to a different salon.

Every time I have gone to Capelli’s it has been A great experience everyone is very friendly and professional. The last few times I have gone I had Mackenzie cut my hair and she did an amazing job! Everyone seems to be very skilled and confident. I will not be going anywhere else from now on.

Nice place, but the prices are too high for a basic men’s haircut.

Great place. Good haircut and very convenient for those working downtown. A little pricey, but you’re paying for the convenience.

great haircuts, professional atmosphere, knowledgeable staff.

Five stars for friendliness. My own fault for not checking the price ahead of time, so I couldn’t get a cut but the ladies were super friendly, clean establishment, professional setting. I couldn’t justify $ 40 for a military style cut, but refuse to give them less stars for my lack of research.

Let me start off by saying that i’m used to going to super cheap strip mall hair ‘salons’.
That being said, I decided to give this place a try because I wanted a different look.
My stylist (Amber) was nice and my hair looks great! Shampoo /​scalp massage was nice and relaxing, and the hot towel /​straight razor on the back of the neck was also great. Good times!
With tip I paid $ 50 for the haircut, which is more than twice what I normally pay at those cheap places, but I’d do it again. It was super relaxing, and my hair looks better than it does normally.

Capelli’s is my go to barber… Typically frequent the Westlake location, but was in the downtown area so went in for a visit. The stylist was accommodating and friendly given that they had just opened and the city was going kinda crazy with the bus incident. Anyway, as usual the cut came out great and the experience is worth the premium.

Mother approved.
Visited Capelli’s recently for the first time as part of an AmazonLocal promotion for a Signature cut that they were offering. My parents were visiting Seattle the following week, so I wanted to get my hair cut prior to their arrival.
Capelli’s has several locations in Seattle. This is the one on 4^th and Madison in a business building diagonally across from the Central Library on the mall level of the property.
First thoughts about Capelli’s was that it remind me of Weldon Barber (which I have got a cut from previously) a bit. Like Weldon, they offer you a choice of beverage at the beginning of your haircut. The waiting area had comfy chairs with plenty of men’s magazines to read while ESPN was on the television.
To book my appointment, I gave them a call to schedule. However, you can also book your appointment online. Their online system shows you what times are available. My voucher required me to call, but the system was helpful as it helped me figure which day would work best for me.
I did take a look at the Unilocal reviews and took Ryon L.‘s recommendation and scheduled an appointment with Regina. As it would turn out, his review was spot on. I got a great cut that my mom, who is not easy to impress raved about.
Wanted to go in a different direction with my hair so I gave Regina a few thoughts and she did a great job in making the look a reality. Cutting my hair short on the sides and back while leaving the top with wiggle room to style was a good call.
Regina was easy to talk throughout the appointment while giving an expert cut. It is not always easy to do both at the same time. Generally, I prefer the attention to be on the hair rather than verbalizing. But the way that Regina styled my hair put me to ease as she was precise in cutting to get the look that I wanted.
I really liked the extra services that came with my Signature cut including the shampooing and hot towel shave. It made me feel pampered. And it is cool to get your haircut amongst giant downtown skyscrapers.
If you want to get a great haircut in which you feel indulged, Capelli’s is an awesome spot.

I’ve been coming here regularly for about a year. At the risk of ruining her availability, I have to put in some props to my girl Regina. She’s always made me look good, but now that we have some history going the last couple cuts have been particularly awesome. Seriously, the cut I got last week is bullet proof – like, party til 4am, pass out, get dragged out of bed with no shower for a 9am brunch, and it still looks good.
Amazing.

I’m glad my hair will grow back, because this haircut is embarrassing. I’ve had a few bad haircuts in my years, and this one ranks up there with some of the worst, to include the bowl cuts my dad gave me when I was a kid. On the bright side, this haircut will keep me out of the bars, so in the long run, it will save me some money I suppose.

Best experience I ever had with a haircut. It’s too bad that I no longer live in Seattle; I miss it! I had to come back and say I really enjoyed their service.
I never had a bad haircut and it was an enjoyable experience to boot.

I have gone to Capelli’s for about a year now, first in the downtown US Bank tower and now the new SLU location.
This operation has consistently great service with a staff that is both gracious and competent. For the first 9 months I had various individuals cut my hair and they all did well (mostly because they take the time to take notes, so any stylist can pick up where another left off).
For the last two months, I’ve had the pleasure of Jenny at the SLU location. She used to own her own shop but now works for Capelli’s. She is very aware of what you want in addition to being efficient and easy to talk with.
I am half-​Asian and have difficult spikey hair, so making it look professional isn’t easy. I attempt to avoid the bowl-​cut that so many of the standard barbershops give out. Capelli’s has raised the bar and will continue to get my service, especially with their free clean-​ups within 3 weeks, which makes the price worth it.

Went to Capelli’s while in Seattle on business and sorely needed a haircut. Got squeezed in to the last appt of the day and only waited a minute or two for Regina, a pretty and tall stylist with a bubbly personality to match. Fantastic scalp massage + shampoo, great conversation, and one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had — you can’t really ask for much more here. In fact, I can’t remember ever having a stylist go back AFTER styling my hair post-​cut to take a few more snips to make it just right. Fantastic attention to detail and it shows. Thank you Regina.

Careful, guys, they’re onto us.
Look, it was bad enough when a series of high-​level leaks let the concept of metrosexuals enter the mainstream press. And when you started to see man-​purses leave the traditional back channels and appear in catalogs and storefront windows? Gods, cleaning up after that was a nightmare.
Well, this new bunch in the 4^th & Madison building is at it now. They’ve figured out that guys secretly want to be pampered and catered to, that we delight in hot towels and scalp massages and… ok, this is need to know only, so keep it under wraps… manicures.
I mean, they are brazen. As soon as you walk in, an amiable stylist offers you a drink and whisks you off into a chair for a chat on coiffure strategy. They don’t even ask for the secret hand signs: they’ll get it right for anyone, from guys who know exactly what they want done to someone who walks in with a huge mass of hair saying «Um…short…er?» Then it’s a relaxing scalp massage barely disguised amongst a regular shampoo, a well-​executed haircut, delightful conversation, the works. Shameless! And at the end, a hot towel straight razor shave for your neckline right there in the open.
So look, men, we have a serious problem. I don’t know how much longer we can keep this all a secret with places like Capelli’s open to the public. My advice is get down there and check them out and report back. I don’t have the reconnaissance info for their other locations, but the floor plan I have suggests that you can infiltrate the 4^th & Madison building location through their underground parking garage. When you get there, ask for stylist Jess — she’ll know what to do.

I live in Los Angeles now, having moved away from Seattle about ten years ago. But we were having our wedding in Seattle, and I wanted to find a nice «manly» place to get a haircut the day before the event. Capelli’s looked like it might just fit the bill.
On my visit, I got a cut from — Jess? — I think I may be screwing up her name, because I was thinking a lot more about getting married than anything else (she has a musical note tattooed on her arm though)! She was delightful, we chatted about this and that while she cut my hair, and I was out of there and looking good in no time.
Once I walked out though, I had this sudden thought — wasn’t that a really fast haircut? And this was the first time she had cut my hair. I was concerned. Walking back to the hotel, I ran into some of the guests for our wedding. The first thing out of their mouths: «Hey, great haircut!» She did a fantastic job, gave me a better cut than I’ve had since moving down to LA, and did it quickly and easily while carrying on a conversation. Impressive!
The only downside is… I don’t live in Seattle! But now I absolutely know where to go if I need a cut when visiting for business. Definitely recommended. :)

Joni has been my «barberess» for going on two years. She always takes great care of me, asks great questions, and cuts my hair better than any human on this earth could hope to. To me, having a great haircut, free cleanups 2 – 3 weeks out, and a killer scalp massage is absolutely worth 38 bucks plus a tip. The good haircut you get here lasts longer than most, plus you don’t have to listen to I Hate My Dad music at 90 db from the soured angst-​volcanos that pass for barbers in other parts of the city.
I do loathe this building’s parking garage with the fire of a thousand white-​hot suns. There’s no discounted validation, so if you can’t find street parking as your appointment nears, you’ll owe 8 bucks to the Greedy Whore Garages of downtown Seattle. So ride the bus or get there with plenty of time.

Came here a couple weeks back because I wanted to get all spiffy before a vegas trip. The people working at Capelli’s are all very professional and courteous. I will also note that I was surprised that for such an upscale barber shop everyone seemed young. But it didn’t take away from the fact that I got a good haircut. Hell I even got a «MANicure» for the first time. It was an interesting experience, and maybe a bad idea. Since I’ve never been self conscious about my nails before.
The only thing that is a bummer about Capelli’s is their lack of free parking (unless you magically find street parking), and that their pricing is quite high. I think the total I spent on my haircut, «MANicure», parking (I parked at the «cheaper» library lot), and tip was a little over $ 70. Which is a lot for a typical man’s grooming session. The haircuts for a year deal is pretty good, but you gotta come in every 3 weeks and it means you won’t be trying out any new places for the year. Capelli’s is still a pretty cool place, a lot smaller than I expected it to be. I would come back again, but only when I want to get all spiffy again for another special occasion.
