Appreciate the kind words, Andrew. Look forward to having you in the shop again.
Fantastic experience: Have been getting my haircut at Capello’s by Max for the past three years. Best barber I’ve ever had, would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: My go to barbers since I moved to Cardiff! I've had my hair cut by most of them since being there and had a great time (Craig and Jack, notably) but my past two cuts by Adrian have been fantastic, fun and I've enjoyed the chat we have whilst he's cutting
Fantastic experience: Perfect cut every time. Will and Robin are great — wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere, solid cut
Fantastic experience: The Capello chain are the best barbers in town always an excellent experience and fantastic cut, even when it's by one of their trainees (and frankly who doesn't like a low cost haircut!)
Fantastic experience: Welcome and a great finish, first timer at Capello and will return.
Fantastic experience: Very nice place nice all British barbers. I’ll make this my barber’s from now on
Cheers Adam
Negative experience: Sorry but not what i asked for at all - really confused since i have longer hair and asked for a scissor cut leaving length and flow and middle part - barber assured me he knew what he was doing but then cut it insanely short with a terrible looking inch long fringe?! i'm really confused and it doesn't suit me at all. The staff all seemed really nice and friendly but sadly i did not get what i asked for and left with a really bad haircut completely changing my style.
Fantastic experience: Adrian provided amazing service and sorted me out with a clean trim
Fantastic experience: Fantastic. Adrien did a great job of cutting my hair in preparation for my wedding and I couldnt be happier. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Always rate Capello! Had a great haircut with Adrian Maguire yesterday. Highly rate him and would go again.
Fantastic experience: Adrian Maguire Was my barber and he was very kind and respectful. The haircut is amazing he did exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend this barber shop I had an amazing experience there.
Fantastic experience: Had a haircut by Adrian, gave me exactly what I wanted, very friendly and genuine guy. Highly recommend you get a haircut from him
Fantastic experience: Had Adrian do a taper fade today. He spent time and effort to make sure it was perfect. Definitely be coming back
Fantastic experience: Just had the best haircut with Adrian! Tried something new and he nailed it. Highly recommend him
Fantastic experience: Great hair cut, very friendly and a great chat!
Fantastic experience: Despite my difficult hair type, Max always gives me a great cut
Fantastic experience: The first time I visited I added a note to the booking explaining that my son has autism. The next thing I knew I had a call asking what they could do to make the visit less stressful for him. These guys are fantastic, considerate, friendly, and do a good haircut to boot. Thank you.
Hi Paul, thank you so much for your find review. We try and do everything we can to make our customers have a memorable experience with us. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: Saw Max today. Looks great. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Amazing cut by Max, he knows exactly what you want. Very welcoming, easy to talk with. Will be back again.
Fantastic experience: Friendly laid back atmosphere. Very attentive to requirements.
Fantastic experience: walked in for a simple cut and walked out with the entire national swag deposit of wales on my head. robyn went full michelin chef on my cut and to say no crumbs were left would be a gross understatement. 11/10
Fantastic experience: My partner Brad came in for a haircut this morning with Kianah “ the cut was meticulous, smooth, bougie. The chat was also excellent I have no idea why she is still a graduate barber, her hospitable nature and her attention to detail was that off a true professional, highly recommend while the prices are low you’re in for a bargain check out the cut in insta I’m so sexy
Fantastic experience: Always a class experience at Capello. I go with Craig, who has never failed to deliver, keep up the good work boys! Highly recommend to all ✂️
Thank you Felix! Geraint is the man.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff, great service.
Fantastic experience: Really good place to get your hair done they all so friendly and just had a really good experience definitely recommend and definitely go back next time
Fantastic experience: Had a really great haircut by Robyn today! I had a pretty awkward haircut request but she smashed it and gave me exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend, seems like a very good barber shop
Fantastic experience: My partner got an absolutely fantastic haircut by Kianah !! He loves it I love it the attention to detail was fantastic definitely worth it <3. Fantastic personality and atmosphere throughout.
Fantastic experience: Robyn is a great hairdresser and I love her work.
Fantastic experience: Kianah was lovely. She knew exactly the kind of hairstyle I wanted and cut it to perfection.
Fantastic experience: Amazing haircut. I had Jack who listened to what I wanted and discussed it in depth with me before cutting my hair exactly how I’d asked. Good place to go, staff seem to understand what style suits you.
Fantastic experience: Macaulay absolutely crushed my hair cut and then completely smashed by beard style. Loving it and looking forward to being back in the chair in 4 weeks. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great chat and another great cut from Macauley. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Zak Phillips—he’s professional, well-spoken, and nailed my skinfade and goatee trim perfectly. He makes sure to understand exactly what you want and delivers on it. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place to get a haircut. First time here and definitely going back. Max was brilliant. All the barbers there are professional, good service and nice. Good chat with Max and good haircut. 10/10 recommend.
Thanks Cian!
Fantastic experience: Craig was awesome. He gave me exactly the haircut I wanted. I wasn’t sure how short to go on the sides, so he offered to start with a longer guard and go shorter if needed. I’ve been to my fair share of barbershops, and I can’t think of a single barber who would have gone to the trouble of doing that—especially considering I was his last client of the day, and he couldn’t have been faulted for wanting to wrap up quickly. On top of that, he was incredibly personable, and we had a great chat about some of our favourite metal bands.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff, excellent service, I won't take my son anywhere else for a haircut. He has been coming to his haircut by Will for years, fantastic all round. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: First time coming here,great haircut thank you!
Fantastic experience: Max did a stellar job.. as usual. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: The guy who cuts my beard and hair is amazing so professional and polite
Thanks Kyle!
Fantastic experience: First time at the branch , been to Pontcana before, did a walk in, so glad I did, got a lad names DYLAN, seriously impressed with his cut, he’s a newly qualified barber, good skill, definitely a good start, found my new barber
Thanks Ewald!
Fantastic experience: Dylan gave me a class trim. Kept making sure I was happy with what he was doing along the way which was great and recommended some things to do with my hair which I'm very happy with! Very reasonably priced too!
Thanks George!
Fantastic experience: Do you have a regular barber you go to? No? You should definitely get one that works for you 100% of the time, and stay loyal to them. And their name is Max Meek. Sure he will chat your head off but at the least you may learn a new word and the time flies fast. He's professional, timely, efficient and remembers your preference each time. If you haven't yet, get yourself an appointment! 10/10 service!
Thanks Michal
Fantastic experience: Came in on Thursday as a walk in, Dylan cut my hair- I felt bad as I came in with a mop of hair but he handled it really well and I’m very happy with the cut
Thanks Jack!
Fantastic experience: Robyn did a great job and even had to listen to me ramble on about safari. Very pleased with the cut, will come back again!
Thanks Myz!
Fantastic experience: Came for a hair cut and stayed for the memories. If Max wasn’t decent with the scissors he could be our next prime minister. I’d book in more often by that would be weird. Cheers boys
Thank you Samuel
Fantastic experience: Max is an exceptionally knowledgeable and thoughtful barber. He takes the time to discuss different options and explain why certain styles will or won’t work for your hair type and head shape. In the past, I’ve always had to know exactly what I wanted before seeing a barber, which led me to stick with the same style for nearly a decade. But for over two years now, I’ve been seeing Max, and he’s given me the confidence to experiment with different looks. Even though I’ve moved away from Cardiff, I still make the hour-plus round trip for a trim. On top of that, Max is incredibly easy to talk to and has a wide range of interests, making every visit enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Thanks Jack!
Fantastic experience: Great place for a haircut and beard trim, walk-ins are available and normally don't have to wait that long.
Thanks Gareth!!
Fantastic experience: Jack was great, one of the best fades ive had, and hugely efficient!
Thanks Josh!
Fantastic experience: My hair is quite difficult to cut because it's thick and has a double crown, but Kat cuts it brilliantly! Kat always gives good advise, if she thinks it wouldn't look right or suit the cut,which I really like. The place is always buzzing and everyone is very friendly.
Thank you David!
Fantastic experience: Always a good welcome and polite staff. Never had a bad cut. Would recommend.
Thank you, Andrew! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us this review and look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Grace is fantastic, a very friendly and calm atmosphere. Would recommend, as someone with asd/adhd it's important to feel comfortable, and (at least in my experiences so far) they made you feel at ease there. Update: this has been my regular barber shop for the last year or so and all the people that I have met there are genuinely lovely and patient/ comfortable to be around. Katharina is also an incredible barber. Very knowledge and happy to explain how and why she does what she does. Always fun talking to the fantastic staff whenever I pop in. Still 10/10.
Thank you Morgan!
Fantastic experience: Been going for over a year now, class spot. Will is a legend, Max too. All the staff are lovely
Thanks Jack!
Fantastic experience: Needed a total restyle, from my Middle Earth/Hobo ramshackle nest to a short back and sides. I was given a few options on eventual length and my beard anxiety was heard and respected. The end result has expertly blended my hair and beard. Parade ground ready
Thanks John!
Fantastic experience: Capellos always take the best care of their clients. Conversation flows and the cutting quality shows. Will is THE MAN!
Thanks Stan!
Fantastic experience: First time visit. Robyn is the best barber I've ever had! Such a friendly place.

Thanks Daniel
Fantastic experience: Max cuts my hair and he's fantastic - easy to chat to but more importantly gives excellent haircuts. I wouldn't go elsewhere in Cardiff.
Fantastic experience: As always a great service - sharp cut and stimulating conversation with Geraint. A shame I now have to travel to Cathays for my cut rather than when he was local in pontcanna. A few friends feel the same.
