About

Capelli Salon Academy is a beauty school in Arlington Heights, Illinois. Its client services are performed by students working under a licensed educator, so a visit is both a service and hands-on training. Services include blow outs, haircuts after a consultation, single process color and root touch ups, highlights, lowlights and balayage in partial or full sessions, perms, keratin smoothing, facials, gentleman's shaves, and waxing for brows, lip line, nostrils and tragus. Prices for color, perms and keratin are listed as starting prices.

The school is open to the public on Thursdays from 1 to 6 and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10 to 4, and is closed to the public on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Hours are subject to change. Hans is the owner and lead educator, and he designed the GeoWand, a haircutting tool made for licensed professionals.

The school describes cosmetology as a lucrative career path and says it cannot be outsourced or replaced by AI. Its cosmetology education also covers branding, target marketing, business structures and financial literacy alongside hair skills.

Beyond student programs, the school offers continuing education, business coaching, and courses in psychology, effective communication, branding and marketing for licensed professionals. It also provides tutoring and test preparation for people who studied elsewhere but did not pass the state exam. The school maintains relationships with salons across the greater Chicagoland area and arranges salon visits and visiting internships for students.

Students learn hands-on skills under licensed supervision, while the training also builds business, branding and financial knowledge.
