Testimonials

For seven years, Capri has been like my second family. There are no words than can express how much I will miss that "family". Thank you to my amazing co-workers, Christina, Jackie, Mike and Antonia for making my last day there so memorable. The 80's dance party in my honor was so creative....I absolutely loved it and am so overwhelmed by all of your genuine thoughtfulness! To all of my wonderful students.....thank you for making me feel so loved...you have no idea how much you all mean to me. Good luck to all....you are all so talented! —Victoria Voss, Capri Employee

I just wanted to thank everyone on staff at Oak Forest Capri for their amazing education they gave me. I graduated in 2006. I started in April class of 2005 with Ms. Allison (she's awesome btw). After being in the field for 5 years, I have noticed the experience and skill level coming from all different beauty schools. Capri has by far surpassed and excelled in their education in comparison. Thank you for giving me the education and the skills needed to succeed! I will always be indebted to the staff that perfected my skills. Thank you! — Tiffany Caliendo, Graduate

I just wanted to leave a message for the wonderful school that got me started in an amazing career! I attended Capri in 1997 and graduated from the program as well as the educator's course. Thanks to all of the wonderfull staff and the great job they did teaching me. I now own two Salons in Bourbonnais Illinois. I continue to encourage people not only to join the industry but to look into Capri! Thanks agian for helping down this wonderful journey! — Natalie Clark Williams, Graduate

To all of the students, I want to share some knowledge with you. Please make the most of of the education you are receiving at Capri. I know you will be asked to do things that you may not like to do or feel like things are not quite going your way, but hang in there and always give 110% because it will pay off. Our industry is recession-proof and we should all be taking advantage of that. You should constantly be adding new skills to your resume. For example, learn how to do simple manicures and pedicures, eyebrow waxing, and makeup. Start doing hair for photo shoots and fashion shows; even if you have to do it for free at first just to build a portfolio. And, for goodness sakes, please learn how to do all types of hair. Your income will skyrocket if you can do all types of hair i.e. caucasion and ethnic. I am so glad that I did not limit myself and the types of hair that I can do because now I am the top stylist in my salon. I can take any client that walks in the door while the other stylists wait for someone with the type of hair they can do to walk through the door. DO NOT limit yourself! This industry can take you anywhere you want to go if you work for it! Good luck to you all! — Nikki Wadley, Capri Beauty College Graduate.

My mother and I visited Capri Beauty College's student clinic for the first time. After receiving a hair cut and color, I had to call and compliment the student designers that performed our service. Both Jenny H. and Kristy R. were talented, professional and showed great interest in our care. I really admire the students at Capri. — Kathy Wasko, Client, Oak Forest, Illinois
