Alessandro Calliva, creative director of Capello, said: “We are an award-winning Italian barbershop in Cardiff who are now venturing over the bridge to Bristol.

“We can’t wait to bring the local community the best haircuts and a comfortable and accepting environment.

“Our barbering skills are rooted in our Italian heritage with all of our barbers being trained in house to the highest standard.”

To mark the opening, Capello will be throwing a “huge local community party” the weekend before they open.

Established in 1992, Capello is a leading name in Cardiff’s barbering scene, with three shops currently operating in the city.
