Capelli Hair Nelson: A Modern Salon in The Wood

Just a short walk from Nelson City, Capelli Hair Nelson is a modern hair salon based in The Wood, offering a full range of services for women, men, children and special occasions.

A Focus on Frizz-Free Hair

One of the standout offerings at Capelli is its range of QiQi smoothing treatments — in-salon professional treatments designed to give soft, healthy, strong, shiny hair regardless of hair type, whether thin, damaged, curly, thick or afro. The treatments are described as 100% formaldehyde-free, containing no chemicals or preservatives, and can halve blow-drying time while resisting sweat, moisture and humidity. Within the QiQi range, clients can choose from options like Reclaim My Time, which retains body and volume while reducing frizz, Curls Just Wanna Have Fun for defining natural curl, or Straight, Seriously Straight for a longer-lasting smooth finish.

Services for the Whole Family

Beyond smoothing treatments, Capelli offers a full suite of women's services including cuts, wash and blow waves, styling and permanent waves. Men are catered for with haircuts, dry cuts, clipper cuts, beard trims and even a camo hair colour option. Children's cuts are broken down by age group, from under-5s through to teenagers, with options for a simple cut or a fuller wash-and-style service.

Colour and Wedding Services

Colour services span regrowth touch-ups, global colour, lightening, toning and foils — available from a quarter head through to a full head. For weddings and special occasions, Capelli offers hair-up styling for brides, bridal parties, bridesmaids and flower girls, along with a bridal practice run so brides can test their look ahead of the big day.

Clear Policies for Peace of Mind

Capelli operates a few key policies designed to keep bookings running smoothly. Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a fee equal to 50% of the service cost. For colour services requiring more than three hours of work, a deposit is required at time of booking — refundable if cancelled more than 24 hours in advance, but forfeited if a client doesn't arrive. Wedding bookings require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The salon also advises a skin test ahead of any colour service, with a disclaimer required for clients who choose to skip it.

Open Six Days a Week

Capelli is open Monday to Saturday, with hours running 9am to 5pm most days and a later finish of 8pm on Thursdays, giving clients more flexibility for after-work appointments. The salon is closed on Sundays.
