Nicholas and Gina Penna opened the first SalonCapri over 45 years ago in Hyde Park. This location started with only five styling stations but it quickly developed a diverse clientele, thanks to its extensively-trained staff and cutting-edge styling. Nicholas and Gina’s children, Nicholas Jr. and Laura, joined the family business and, in 2000, expanded with a second SalonCapri in Newton Highlands. In 2010, the Hyde Park location moved to Legacy Place, a premiere outdoor lifestyle and shopping center in Dedham and, in 2013, a third location opened its doors on the famed Newbury Street in Boston. SalonCapri now offers its clientele the latest in hair and beauty innovations in three state-of-the-art locations.
