5 Stars: Great value, great haircut! (by sloride21)

sloride21 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I happen to come upon this place that offers a barber cut for guys like me who wanted to get a salon quality haircut without having to pay the salon price. I have yet to be disappointed. I recommend Amy or Mya if you want a styled or smooth looking haircut-for sure!

5 Stars: What a breath of fresh air! (by SabrinaLeCompte)

SabrinaLeCompte — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have to admit, I'm one of those people who is willing to try anything once. To me, hair is an adventure. I have spent a lot of time and money over the years on that adventure. I've had many looks I liked, many I didn't. Mostly, though, I've just never known what to do with it.

When Amy suggested I come by the salon, I wasn't sure what to expect. I never know how hip and trendy a salon is going to try to be, versus classic and fabulous. While I'm willing to be brave most of the time, it would be difficult to explain to my boss what I was thinking when I "went there" with my hair this time around. But like I said, I'm willing to try anything once, so I gave it a shot.

Salon b is a fantastic place. I felt at home in the salon as soon as I go there. Everyone is friendly, courteous, attentive and you can tell that they LOVE their jobs. I couldn't wait to see what they could do!

Amy is the color goddess. She corrected my box-black mess with very little fuss, and only a minor scolding. ;) Both the color and cut I received were with little to no prompting from myself. They turned out to be exactly what I needed! Talk about knowing your stuff! To be able to look at me, see my personality and create the perfect hair style and color combo for me has got to be award winning talent!

I walked in with an open mind and walked out with the best cut and color I've ever had! I'd trust my head to Salon b ANY DAY!

An exceptional group of high end professionals who provide artistic originality, and technical perfection. All this without the phony arrogance found in so many salons. Everyone there seems genuinely interested in you and works to make you comfortable and satisfied. You are definatiely well taken care of.

5 Stars: Amy Rocks!!! (by Twin Mommy)

Twin Mommy — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I've gone to about every top salon in San Francisco and paid hundreds for hair cuts and color to find that perfect stylist. Little did I know she was hiding in Sacramento. Since I live between San Francisco and Sacramento and have been disappointed in all the hype over SF stylists, I thought I would research stylists in the Sacramento area. I read all the reviews on City Search and decided I would try Amy. Boy am I glad that I did. She actually listened to what I was saying and gave me the cut I've been asking others for, for over a year. I decided to stay conservative with my color, but looking forward to a big change the next time I see Amy.

I also want to express how amazing the entire staff is, starting with Emiko. She fit me in and worked with my schedule. The customer service I received was more than I could have ever asked. While I was there I met one of the owners Scot, who was extremely personable.

I can't say enough positive things about the salon and Amy. For those of you looking for a new stylist, you will not be disappointed by making an appointment!

5 Stars: Amy is the hair goddess!!!! (by blondbomshell)

blondbomshell — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have been going to a popular salon downtown for over two years and was never completely satisfied with my cut and color. However, I did what a lot of us do.....I became comfortable with my hair stylist and did not want to step outside the box. Heck, we all get in a rut sometimes and it takes an act of God to get you out. I did not want to even attempt to find a new stylist, because there are so many salons in Sactown. I finally came to the conclusion that my hair could go on being average forever or I could take the leap of faith. I am so happy I finally took the chance and trusted Salon B and Amy. My hair color is awesome and Amy made sense out of the mess of a haircut my ex stylist made. All I can say is thank you for making me love my hair again!

5 Stars: Miracle Workers (by midtown kl)

midtown kl — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I came into Salon b today with a color disaster, and left with the most gorgeous red hair EVER. Last week, at another Sacramento salon, I suffered a hair disaster - we are talking white streaks/chunks over a bizarre red color. It was AWFUL. I called Salon B after reading the great reviews online. They were friendly on the phone and set me up with Amy ASAP.

Amy, who is a color certified expert, diligently worked my hair into this gorgeous, debra messing-like red hair. I was thrilled and I am SO happy with my hair. Reds are tricky and Amy nailed it. I couldn't be happier. During my appointment the owner introduced herself to me, and all the stylists were very professional and welcoming. Exceptional job by Amy - thank you so much. I will be back! I love Salon b!

5 Stars: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my hair! (by JannTaber)

JannTaber — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I was very nervous looking for a new stylist and color specialist, but Salonb came highly recommended.

It was reassuring to know that Elle Magazine ranked Salonb one of the top 100 hair salons in the country in the August 09 issue.

Amy listened very carefully to what I wanted and the results are over the top. I've never had a better cut and color... EVER!

Amy is a GODDESS!

The calming ambience of the salon is icing on the cake!

5 Stars: Whenever I've ventured away...I've always come back! (by ItsMeTamitha)

ItsMeTamitha — Thu, 28 May 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I started out as a client of Kathleen's approximately 15 years ago. Over the years I have also used several other stylists in the salon including Scott, Lindsay and currently Amy. They are all WONDERFUL and I love that I can change between stylists if one of them is booked.

I live in the Auburn area and I hate the drive to Sacramento just to get my hair done. But...every time I get the idea that I will find someone else, I come running back to Salon B. I do feel badly that they have to fix the mess that other stylists make of my hair when I venture off. I would trust any of the stylists at Salon B to cut or color my hair because they are all highly trained and skilled at both.

I do not and never have worked for Salon B but I do feel like part of the family when I am there. I am not surprised that there are so many great reviews because it truly is the best hair salon I have ever been to. I have referred many friends over the years that are still loyal customers. In fact, one of my best friends was in tears from an experience she had recently at a salon in downtown Sacramento. It was a true hair emergency and thankfully Amy was able to fit her in. She is so happy with her hair now and she has not stopped thanking me.

5 Stars: Expert hair care and kind, attentive service (by DLee)

DLee — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I think that Kathleen and Scott have a real gift for taking care of each customer and still have a busy salon. Their assistants are also very good. Kathleen is a specialist in color and Scott is meticulous with haircuts. I have been in awe of the clients that leave after having Avery do their color and cuts-they looked beautiful. I also like their vast supply of Aveda products.

5 Stars: Amy is an AMAZING hair sylist! (by bulavinaka)

bulavinaka — Tue, 05 May 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have been with Amy for about 6 years, and have followed whenever she changed salons. Why? Because I can totally relax with my hair color knowing that it will always come out the way I want it. That is pretty amazing since I am one particular chick!

5 Stars: Amy is the best Stylist I've let touch my hair (by Extalios)

Extalios — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I'll start with the salon itself. Salon b has a sense of style that goes well with the great people that work there. I always feel welcome when I come in like I'm seeing old friends again. The staff is at the same time welcoming and professional and the salon is clean and comfortable, with a great design aesthetic.

Amy at Salon b is definitely the best stylist I've been to. She does an amazing job every time on both cuts and color whether for myself or one of my friends. I used to have very straight hair down to the middle of my back. I made the decision one day to cut my hair short and she made me happy I did. Every time I go back I come up with some new style I want and she always manages to make it better and work for me. I highly recommend Amy to anyone out there who wants a professional and modern look.

5 Stars: I got the best hair makeover (by smithl25)

smithl25 — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I needed a serious hair makeover. I had black ends, brown roots and this was all done by myself at home. I looked up Salon b on city search and liked that they had so many great reviews. I had an amazing experiance at this salon from start to finish. Lindsay at Salon b transformed my bad hair into a beautiful even hair color. She told me what I could expect and delivered 100%. I have received so many compliments on my hair (even from men). I am so happy I came into the salon. I even got a free hand massage while my color was on. Thanks again Lindsay you are so good at what you do!

5 Stars: Go to AMY ANDERSON!!! (by m1k1v)

m1k1v — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy is the nicest stylist I know and the most artistic! She's been doing my hair since the dawn of time. She really has an excellent eye for what looks good on her clients, she is an excellent listener to what you have to say to achieve the style you want and makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease. I highly highly recommend Amy. If you are questioning which stylist to chose, trust me you can only do wrong if you don't choose Amy - yah!

5 Stars: A family outing (by sksmart4)

sksmart4 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I take my whole family to Amy Anderson at Salon b. My husband enjoys getting an old fashioned straight razor shave and barbershop style treatment. I have 2 pre-teen girls who enjoy get very stylish, trendy, but easy to manage cuts. I myself feel Amy is a miracle worker with color. Being prematurely gray (more than 50%), Amy always keeps my hair colored and cut in great styles.

5 Stars: Quick, smooth, & shiny--everyday in less time?no kidding! (by Ladymike)

Ladymike — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy gave me a make-over that streamlined my morning routine... A must for my busy schedule & long commutes. The new Brazilian Blowout?cut my morning grooming time by more than half. My new cut looks great whether I dry it sleek & smooth or let the waves go. NO Frizz, amazing. Amy is also a very talented colorist... whether I choose to be a red head or go blond...my hair looks amazingly natural. Thanks, Amy!

5 Stars: Amy Anderson is AMAZING! (by LilTurner)

LilTurner — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Amy for 8 years, and I just love her! She really listens to what you want, and she is also great for just doing something fun and spontaneous.
She is always on time for her appointmenta, I would never go to anyone else! I also love the atmoshpere of Salon B, everyone is warm and friendly!

5 Stars: just the way I like it (by MWA)

MWA — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy cuts my hair just the way I like it. I,m a guy who doesn't usually like salons but the atmospohere here is lay back and friendly. Amy cuts my hair to last between cuts and it always looks good. She's been cutting my hair for 5 years.

5 Stars: Salonb and Amy Anderson are great! (by elleycat)

elleycat — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy has done wonders with my frizzy grey hair . I love it. I always leave looking fabulous and feeling relaxed. Bravo! Salonb and Amy.

5 Stars: My favorite ever place for my hair (by woodelf13)

woodelf13 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy has made this 62-year-old retiree appropriately cute for years now. When I colored my hair she had my co-workers ooo'ing and ah'ing every time. Now that I've gone natural, she has found the perfect cut to show off my beautiful salt and pepper. Her recommendations for conditioner made a huge difference too.

5 Stars: High quality cut with a straight razor shave! (by randytwo)

randytwo — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Amy Anderson is not only 1st class colorist and stylist with years of experience, but also licensed barber. This means you can combine an incredibly smooth and relaxing straight razor shave with a great, salon quality cut. Very unique experience. Go see Amy at Salon b!

5 Stars: It is possible to change your hair! (by Lindsaysmom)

Lindsaysmom — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have wavy, somewhat curly, prone-to-frizz hair. My stylist told me about a new technique--the Brazilian Blowout--that would change my hair. She said I wouldn't have to flat iron, and my blow-drying time would be cut in half, or less. Right.
I went to Salon B, where this most delectable-smelling process was performed (it's smells like chocolate!). Afterwards--like all salon visits, my hair looked amazing. Smooth, shiny, curl and frizz-free. She told me that I wouldn't have to shampoo as often, and to let her know when I did (just for fun). Every day I checked my hair for dirtiness, oilyness, etc. I finally broke down on the 5th day after I had the service and washed my hair! After toweling dry, I applied some of the yummy Moroccan Oil to my hair, and started blow-drying. I am not kidding when I tell you that it took me 5 minutes to do my full head of thick hair. I did not have to flat iron at all for 2 months, and every time I washed and dried it came out just as nice as when I first went home.
I just went back for my 2nd Brazilian Blowout, as the process is accumulative--the more times you repeat it, the longer-lasting the benefits.
I have waited my entire life to have hair like this without spending a ton of time with styling tools and products! I can't believe this special process isn't all over the media, so I have to believe that not enough people are talking about it yet--it seems too good to be true, but believe me, you will love the results! Thank you, Salon B!

5 Stars: Perfection! (by Tonawon)

Tonawon — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Kathleen has been my stylist for the past 12 years. I tell her often I feel like a walking billboard for her salon. I am constantly getting stopped by random people asking me where I get my hair done. Although I am flattered by the compliment, I know that my hair wouldn't look this good without Kathleen. So truly the compliment goes to Kathleen, not me. -As well, I have had many (and I do mean many) friends calling me over the years, in tears, asking me if I can refer them to someone at Salon B to "fix" their recent hair salon disaster they received elsewhere. Scot, Lindsay, Amy have all helped out and made every one of my friends in crisis happy as can be. I appreciate that Salon B is devoted to training each stylist as an ongoing part of their employment. Finally, Emiko is truly a godsend for Salon B. She manages the daily doings, always gets me into the perfect appointment when my schedule takes a turn, and greets each client by name and with a smile-always!

1 Stars: Bad cut from a "color specialist" (by mahars)

mahars — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I received one of the worst cuts of my life from a stylist at this salon. I asked for angled face-framing layers and got an all-one length curtain on the side of my face that was not blended into the rest of my hair. It was like a bizarre one-length level that came down to my cheek and then the rest of my hair underneath it. There was no layering or blending or thinning out. Just a two-level weird cut. I'm not sure if she was tryng to do some sort of structured modern thing or what, but it was not pretty. I went back to get it fixed, and she only made it worse. Later I found out that she only had about two years expeience total cutting hair and that she had previously worked exclusively as a colorist. I won't name names, but I was really surprised at how bad this cut was. I had to get fixed at another salon. The person who fixed it was just as mystified as I had been. She had never seen a cut quite like it. Beware.

5 Stars: The Best in Hair Care (by dianawadman)

dianawadman — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I have been a regular client of Kathleen, one the owners of Salon b for 22 years and have followed her through the years to the salons she has worked in and the two she and her husband, Scott, have owned. Why? Because of their basic intregrity to their clients and to their products. They are committed to teaching and training their employees tried and true methods of hair care. I recommend them highly as stylists and hair specialists. I am pretty particular about my hair and have never been disappointed with their recommended care and styling of my hair. They also stay current with new products and techniques by traveling, either themselves or sending their employees to learn new methods nationwide and internationally.

I do highly recommend this salon to those who care for the health of their hair.

5 Stars: "Happy Hour" at Salon b (by lawlerjp)

lawlerjp — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:00:00 GMT

This salon receives high scores. Customer Service is one of the main things I appreciate. The salon was very busy but I was greeted immediately when I entered the lobby. After intros I was addressed by my first name so I felt right at home. The decor is simple and elegant, I waited a few brief minutes before my stylist Melanie came to collect me, I was offered a beverage right away. After a long day at work it was heaven. The shampoo bowls are on a short wall so that the stylist can wash you hair from behind you. This eliminates someone leaning over you, not seeing the soap in your other ear, and who WOULD pick to have someone's armpit over your nose while they wash you hair. This design is fabulous! Melanie really listened to what I wanted and though I had a late appointment, she made sure I looked great! I have really thick hair, but within a short time Melanie cut, washed, colored and styled my hair. I cannot say enough good things about this salon. The traffic is bad at 5PM, so instead of "Happy Hour" try a happy hour at Salon b! It is wonderful!

5 Stars: Best Color and Cut! (by emily11)

emily11 — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 09:00:00 GMT

Well, Kathleen is such "the artist". While shopping in Sacramento a year ago, I saw this "great hair" on a gal. Of course, I had to ask her who does her hair. She sent me to Kathleen at Salon B. I was always told "your hair won't do that" by other salons. Not true! She is a miracle with color and cut! Awesome salon and staff. I now travel with my best friend from Sonora to have her keep us in shape. Thanks Kathleen!!!

5 Stars: Best salon in sac (by deb i.)

deb i. — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 10:46:00 GMT

I am a native to Sacramento and have been getting my hair done in this city for at least 13 years. Never really stayed loyal to any particular salon or stylist... until now! Salon b has the best stylists to offer. Go here with no fear, I do! Everybody was really friendly and best of all, my hair looks great everytime!

5 Stars: Friendly to out-of-towners, amazing results!! (by theresam79)

theresam79 — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:00:00 GMT

My coworker and I were coming to a work conference from Alaska. And being small town girls we really wanted the 'big city' hair treatment. We found Salon B online and contacted them. They found out what we wanted, explained their prices and set us up with appointments. It couldn't have been any easier!

Malerie was exactly what I needed in a stylist. I wanted to change my color and the style slightly but still wanted suggestions. She took what information I gave her and ran with it. I love my hair color and I have never received so many compliments. She's amazing and she recommended all these great restaurants and bars for us to try!! Above and beyond service!

And for a 'big city' salon their prices were very reasonable, I think I got a great deal for how wonderful my hair turned out!

5 Stars: Outstanding salon; Great job, Malerie! (by AnotherJennifer)

AnotherJennifer — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I highly recommend this salon. I have straight, fine hair and zero styling capabilities, so I needed a LOT of help. I was going from a chin length to an earlobe length cut, but with all the wonderful reviews I had read on CitySearch and reading the stylist bios from the Salon b website, I had every confidence I would get a great cut. I showed up on July 22nd, armed with several pictures of some short hairstyles I had found in various hairstyle magazines. Malerie looked through the pictures I had brought and helped me decide what would work best for me. I'm not a chatty person so after the style was decided upon I let Melanie focus on her scissorwork. The final result was perfect! My style is very easy to replicate at home and I absolutely love it. Thank you, Malerie!

5 Stars: Kathleen is the greatest stylist ever! (by terryttn)

terryttn — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I first discovered Salon B by researching online for a new salon to try out in Sac. Salon B had the most positive reviews on Citysearch, and I decided to give it a shot. Although a little doubtful at first, I now completely understand what all the rave is about. I think I am the most picky client ever because I'm never completely happy with the outcome of my hair. I've tried out many "nice" salons in Sacramento, but I've never been impressed. Sometimes the cut is okay, but I always hate how the stylist styles it and I have to rush home to re-do it myself. Until Kathleen came along. She is the most talented hairstylist I've ever come across. I could tell from the start that she would do a good job from the way she moved her hands and how precise she was with everything. The biggest compliment that I can give Salon B is that they seem to really focus on PRECISION haircuts. I used to hate going to expensive salons and having them spend such a short amount of time on my cut because it didn't feel worth the money. Kathleen checks every angle and section of your hair until every strand is as it should be. She always talks me through her technique as she's doing it and is so knowledeable about everything to do with hair. I highly recommend this salon, and specifically, Kathleen. She is so talented and brilliant at what she does. I couldn't be happier with her as a stylist. The staff and atmosphere of Salon B isn't snooty at all, which I also love.

5 Stars: If you look good, you feel good... (by littleladylyd)

littleladylyd — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

... and I feel amazing! I live in San Diego but I've never found a salon I like better than Salon B in Sacramento, so I always schedule an appointment when I know I'm going to be there. My stylist, Avery, is aware of this, so when I went in last time asking for highlights he used a different technique, not foils, that would make the color look better longer. He explained to me that this technique would allow the color to grow out without my roots showing and looking tacky, because he knows I won't be back for a while. Avery also treats a haircut like a work of art - he never seems like he's tired or annoyed and just wants to get it over with - he is proud of his work and dedicates the time to make sure it's done right.

Scot and Kathleen are also amazing people. Last time I was there Scot would come over and chat with Avery about my cut, and Kathleen told me all about how they decorated the salon when I asked her about it. It was apparent that she and Scot paid special attention to creating a light, friendly, open and artistic environment, which is something I really appreciate. Salon B has blurred the lines between being a salon and an artist's studio. And let me tell you, being treated like a work of art is an amazing feeling!

I recommend Salon B to anyone who can appreciate the quality of work these artists perform. You feel amazing from the second you walk in until long after you're gone.

5 Stars: Love my hair! (by AnnikaE)

AnnikaE — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Salon B is the only place I've ever been able to get the "perfect" cut and color. I live in Philadelphia now, and still make it a point to schedule an appointment with them whenever I go back to Sacramento to visit. I went in last week, and my hair was pretty boring from being dyed blond for a while. Kathleen gave it some depth with a darker color underneath, and highlights and lowlight on the top. I've loved my hair everytime I've gone in, and I highly recommend them. The service is great and the staff is super friendly.

3 Stars: Honest Review (by OnTheGo101)

OnTheGo101 — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I would like to start off by saying that you will not receive a snotty attitude from stylists or receptionists. I was a victim of ignoring my roots. It grew and grew, but I did not have the time to research a place to get my hair done. I finally chose Salon B. I explained to my stylist what I wanted to do (cut, color, full foilwork). She said she would cut, highlight, and do a glaze. My main goal was to get rid of the two-tone color in my hair. I had my color+highlights on the bottom & roots on top. I told her this. She said she would do lots of highlights and then a glaze. I wish my stylist had shown me what the end result would be similar to. It wasn't well described. I felt like she was getting annoyed by my questions. So, I trusted her and let her work. After the coloring was done we moved onto my cut. She washed my hair and did a cut to "get the basic shape." Her technique was different from my stylist back home. She then dried my hair. She put layers in with scissors. She was minimal with the layers. I asked her to put more in because I wanted more shape. She put more in for me. Now, I'm not sure if she was being considerate of my time crunch - but she did not flat iron my hair. I was not asked if I wanted her to flat iron it or anything. Maybe it was because I was the last customer. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt and say its because she didn't want to keep me any longer. I would have preferred her asking me. I went home and flat ironed my own hair. I found strands of hair being longer than the rest. The cut did not have enough shape. Also, my hair still was darker on top then on bottom. Which was the main thing I wanted to fix. =( I found a salon nearby (Salon B was 25 minutes away) and paid them to fix it. I did receive a follow-up call to see how my experience was. I was offered to come back for partial highlights. I declined because I was leaving for a trip the next day.

2 Stars: Probably well intentioned... (by anunmouse)

anunmouse — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Genuine review for salon b:

The favorable citysearch reviews all sounded too much alike, I suspected they were written by the staff and management, but I respected their idealism and decided to give them a try.
When I first walked in I saw a woman walking towards me. She had just gotten her hair cut, and was on her way out. Her hair looked okay, but when I glimpsed the apprehension and near despair on her face I should have taken that as a cue to turn around and leave. But they called my name, and I'm an idiot.
The person who cut my hair seemed nice enough. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she seemed to know what to do. The model had long shaggy bangs, but the stylist--without consulting me--cut my bangs short, VERY SHORT, leaving maybe an inch in length. I'll spare you all the details, but it ended up looking freakish.
While I was there, one of their own employees was getting her hair done. Afterwards she came by my station and my stylist asked how she liked it. She replied that it wasn't the color that she had wanted, but that it was "okay." I thought, if one of their own can't even get what she wanted, what chance do the rest of us poor slobs have?
On my way out, not even the guy at the cash register could hide his surprise and dismay at how bad my hair looked. AND it was expensive.
Next day the people at my job tried to be polite, which only confirmed it was a bad cut.

All true. I have no vendetta against anyone at salon b. Maybe I just got there on a bad day, but at least this is a true review.

5 Stars: I have just recently moved to the area and had no idea how to find a new hair dresser. (by staceyloves80smovies)

staceyloves80smovies — Mon, 19 May 2008 09:00:00 GMT

So upon search of the internet I had found salon-b.Upon calling for price and apt. info the secretary was very friendly and set me an apt. for the very next day.

When I went to salon B,It was in a convenient location and lot's of parking was available.When I arrived at the salon I was greeted right away.

I had an apt. with a hair (artist extroardinair!!!)by the name of Malerie,who was young,very friendly and fun to talk to.I was a little skeptical because of the condition my hair was in but .......It turned out like ten times better then I ever would have hoped to!!!Thanks Malerie I love it!U did wonders,I really appreciated it!

I definately am going to be a regular at this salon.And highly recommend it to others.

Notoriously blonde,that loves 80's movies!

5 Stars: B Impressed - Very Knowledgeable, Creative, and the Best Customer Service (by 10doodlebug)

10doodlebug — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 09:00:00 GMT

I was very impressed with Salon B. First of all I love their website, it was clean, sleek and refreshing and not overdone. That's I found them by searching on the web. I love the way it introduced everyones talents and strengths. I had made an appointment for my daughter's Senior ball for a Glamour style with Avery. She just loved his personality and his ideas. Now she wants to go back and have him cut and be more creative with her hair. She also had Amanda do a makeup application and was so happy with the results. Thanks Amanda she looked beautiful. I also want to add that while I was waiting for my daughter I got really inspired to do my hair also by listening to everyone around me and talking to Emiko at the customer desk I felt really comfortable. Since I have been scared to get my hair done by someone again after I lost my hair stylist that I had for over 10 years. I went and tried someone and was not completly happy, it was hard to try to trust someone again. But I really felt comfortable and got a really good feeling as I was siiting there listening. So I jumped in, They recommended someone for me and got me in even when they were busy. My gals name was Malerie. What a sweet upbeat personality, easy to talk to. She recommended some color correction for me since I went to box hair dye. I no Yuk. Well anyways she was great, even when she had other appointments she was very sweet to check on me while her assistant helped. She did not have time for a cut but the owner Scot did and was talking to me and I liked his ideas and told him lets do it. Very nice itellegent man, you can tell he liked what he does and is so very knowledgable about his proffession. I am very satisfied and am definitly going back to Salon B and I recommend anyone reading this to try them you will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough about how excited I get when I know I am getting my hair done. I always have something new to look forward to, whether it be new color, new cut, extensions or all of the above. The one thing I can always count on from Kathleen and Scot (the best stylists ever) is that I will always be kept on the cutting edge of what's going on in the hair industry. I have been coming to Salon b for over 8 years now and even though I now live in the east bay, I still drive to ensure the best look possible. I would never hesitate to recommend Salon b to anyone who wants to be in the latest hair fashion.

5 Stars: I should be in a hair commercial! :) (by princessgirl)

princessgirl — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Wow! Finally an upscale salon without the snooty attitude! I made an appointment to have about 4 1/2 inches chopped and I'm glad I did! My mom seriously thinks I should be in a hair commercial! (And trust me, my mom is really difficult to please). The salon booked my with a sweet fellow named Avery. I told him I wanted a cute little swoop to disguise my "movie screen sized" forehead. :) My hair not only looks good but it feels so soft and silky. I'm very happy and will return shortly!

5 Stars: The BEST in Sacramento! (by micheleroberts)

micheleroberts — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:00:00 GMT

When my last stylist left Sacramento to go to Sassoon in SF he sent me to his mentors Scot & Kathleen. No wonder he was so great....he learned his craft from the BEST! I never fail to get compliments on my cut & color wherever I go. Kathleen is so meticulous when coloring and cutting my hair and I've never walked out disappointed. I have observed her training Lindsay, Malerie, Craig and now Holly. Each have developed into skilled artists with engaging personalities and great humor. It is a pleasure to enter Salon b because everyone there treats you with warmth and respect. I'm proud to be a client at Salon b!

5 Stars: Amazing hair color!! (by jj7madrid)

Highly recommended. Amy did a great job on my highlight/color. Salon B has a wonderful atmosphere and everyone was extremely friendly. Def will return next time I am in Sacramento!!

1 Stars: Dirty and un-professional Salon (by rayane)

rayane — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 09:00:00 GMT

The first thing I noticed at the salon is that it's DIRTY, too much dust everywhere you can tell it's not just one day dust. Moreover, the person who does the color is not the person who cuts, is not the person who glazes and is not the person who washes the hair and that is just too many people handling your hair. It took them almost 4 hours to do color/highlight and they did a horrible job not worth the amount of $$ I paid: approx $250 including tip.

5 Stars: I learned my lesson, the hard way..... (by delish5678)

delish5678 — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I've been seeing Scot and Kathleen for over 4 years...I recently moved from Sacramento to Los Angeles and figured I would have no problem finding someone more than capable to handle my hair...Had to find out the hard way...I decided to go to a more than reputable salon in Beverly Hills, (I won't name any names) but I felt confident I was in good hands...I didn't notice right away because my hair was still in such good shape from my previous cut and color, but over a few months time I had a disaster on my hands...I immediately booked a flight to Sacramento and Scot came to my rescue!! He knew exactly what to do to fix my hair, even though it will take months now to grow out the damage to my layers...Not only did Scot fix my hair, but he and Kathleen set up a photo shoot for me in Salon b because they also knew I was having problems getting my headshots done...Scot cut and styled my hair for the shoot and also touched it up for me in between shots to make sure it was picture perfect...That's just the kind of people they are...They go above and beyond for their clients!! I will continue to go back to Sacramento to Salon b to get my hair done... I've definitely learned my lesson...

5 Stars: Great Salon (by chocoholic22)

chocoholic22 — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:00:00 GMT

When it comes to getting my hair cut I am a very picky person. I had done many reviews on citysearch prior to picking salon b. Salon b had so many positive reviews that I decided to book an appointment with Amy. The salon was very clean, hip and chic. Everyone from the receptionist to the owners of the salon was kind and attentive. I put all my trust in Amy?s hand and let her give me a whole new look and I?m glad that I did! I got so many compliments on my haircut and 3 weeks later people are still telling me how great it looks. I?m glad that I decided to book an appointment with Amy at Salon b ? I won?t have to look any farther for a great hair stylist.

5 Stars: Best salon in Sacramento (by nkang81)

nkang81 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I've been to Salon B twice: the first time for coloring, and the second time for a haircut. Both times I booked an appt with Avery. I just moved to Sac a couple of months ago, and have always been really hesitant to have new people cut my hair, but Avery is great! He really listens to what you want, and takes his time. Everyone at the salon is friendly, including the front desk people. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a new salon to go to. I used to fly back down to SoCal to have my hair done, but I'm so glad I have finally found a place I feel comfortable with!

jidica — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

The first thing you will notice at Salon B is the staff is very friendly and welcome you in as if you are a friend. No snotty atmosphere here, no way.
They are all very professional and innovative. You will find that there is each one of the staff is extremely knowledgeable and continuing to sharpen themselves independently and as a team. Beauty and brains!
I have had the pleasure of recommending people to come in to Craig.
Each and everyone of them left the salon looking fabulous and feeling very beautiful and confident. You should try this salon out for yourself. So do not miss out on this up and coming salon.

5 Stars: Best Salon, where you can get it all! (by zahrak_00)

zahrak_00 — Sun, 21 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Ever since I was a young girl, my obsession was hair. I always want to try all different things with my hair. At Salon B i found this very possible. I can honestly say I probably have been to every salon in Sacramento, probably some out of Sacramento to. But i can guarantee that I have stopped my search and found Salon B to be my permenant Salon. Kathleen (my hair dresser) is ABSOLUTLEY WONDERFUL!!!! As picky as I am, and as often as I want changes she works with me till she knows I am satisfied. One minute I want to be a pitch Black and with in the next two weeks I want to go to a cinnamom brown. In previous Salons I have had hair dressers try to talk me out of changes, espectially from going dark to light to dark again, as that is very hard. However Cathleen makes it possible. She can even take me from short to long!!! Yes hair extensions. My new obsession and addiction. I have tried different hair extensions and havn't had a good experiecne. But Hair Locks are the BEST!!! They allow me to move my hair freely still,not being stuck with just one style like my previous extensions. Also noone can tell I have hair extensions. I love love love love them. Only bad thing I don't like about them, once you get them, there is no turning back. You just want more more more. Kathleen knows this. She also works with my budget, lets me order some, and then when I can afford it she will order more. Shr also works with me to squeeze me in a appointment if I really need one. SHe really works with her customer to ensure that they are happy. Salon B has a very friendly and family like atmosphere. Everyone there is like a big family. Thats what I love. Kathleen has set up a very comfortable atmosphere so her clients are free to talk and express themselves. She is very friendly and always makes sure that her customers are happy. I don't think I could ever see myslef going to anyother Salon or hair dresser. I love Kathleen and I can completlety trust her with my hair.

5 Stars: Brilliant cut (by micahbear)

micahbear — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I found the hair style I was looking for. Craig at Salon b has the gift! I'm very picky when it comes to my hair. I play in a rock band so I like a cut that I can have fun with but at the same time I need something that I can tame for the ol' day job. Craig suggested making my cut current and edgy and by doing so eliminating the need for color or bleach (Brilliant idea. Loved it). Simplicity with forward thinking -That's the cut I wanted and that's the cut I got. By my second visit to Salon b I was talking with the staff on a first name basis. That's the kind of atmosphere I like to be surrounded by.

So, as a mom of two I went to Malerie not knowing what I want, but needing something different and hot! SO, I come out looking gorgeous! My cut is perfectly manageable and the color is incredible. She knew just what to do and did it! I left the salon feeling good about myself and not like just a stay at home mom of two beauty's.
Thanks a million Mal!!!

5 Stars: Malerie, Hariapist... (by wjsacramento)

wjsacramento — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I entered Salon B for a hair cut and color, and left with a new sense of myself!
As odd as this sounds it true. My stylist was a cute professional by the name of Malerie.
She was attentive, conversational and knew when to listen. Her ideas ranged from good to great. Creative to fashion forward. I felt as if her design abilities superceded my hairs potential.
I have returned to Salon B, and Malerie multiple time now and i feel she has become more of my Hairapist, than my stylist. In her chair i receive a good cut , great color and an inner inspiration to be as successful as my hair .

I can't tell you how excited I am to have discovered Salon B!! I moved here from So. Calif. almost two years ago and have not been able to find great hair designers or colorists.

The atmosphere is very open, lofty; everyone is very warm and friendly, and the designers are trendy, funky, tasteful, and make you feel special!

Avery: What can I say...you are perfection! Unbelieveable detail, precision, knowledge, and creativity! Thank you!!!
Corina: Corina, Corina....artist with a vision! Your eye for color is like watching an artist turn the plain canvas into life! Thank you!

1 Stars: DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$ HERE!!! (by kriskringle77)

kriskringle77 — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I went to Salon B after reading all the great reviews here on Citysearch. Let me just say that I WASTED $175 on a cut that was nowhere what I wanted and highlights that was just okay. I even show my stylist a PICTURE of what I want my ends to look like...which was choppy, long, feathery layers. What I got was a straight cut with some layering. After 3 hours of frustration, I had to leave because I was about to cry. I will NEVER go to Salon B again and definately will not recommend anybody. Malerie, you are not a good stylist!

The stylists are very professional and entertaining, and they are constantly updating their techniques and styles from regularly attending classes and training.
The salon has very clean and spacious decor along with happy and friendly stylists.
Kathleen has been my hair stylist for 25 years, and she is well known not only in California, but all over the country as well for her skill.
Salon b doesn't only benefit your hair, you also have a great time and leave happy.

The service at Salon b is awesome. They actually acknowledge I exist and have welcomed me each time I have been there. I have never had my hair colored before and they told me each step before doing it and told me what to expect and ask what me expectations were before doing the coloring. It as been a great experience; it takes longer than I thought (2-3 hours) but the end product has been worth it. I do not feel rushed too show up 'exactly' on time either though. An overall wonderful experience.

I travel from Reno to Salon b every three months and have been doing so for 7 years. Kathleen has been styling my hair and I receive many compliments from my friends as well as my husband who likes it too. The salon is always upbeat and modern, and everyone makes me feel so welcome. Even though I travel some distance, I feel that the service is exemplary and well worth the trip. All of the staff and stylists are accommodating and friendly. I wouldn't ever consider going anywhere else.

I have a great hair cut! Its not just that I think so, People stop me often to tell me that and ask where I get my hair done. In the grocery store, strangers on the street, on airlines--lots of compliments. I have been following Kathleen for many years and I never have to worry about how my hair looks. Salon B has a highly trained staff that delivers consistent quality. Its a wonderfully friendly studio that is fun to visit with great results.

Kathleen has styled and colored my hair for more than 15 years. In that time, my hair has grayed and Kathleen has applied a variety of colors and highlights, which have kept my hair stylish for my age. I trust her completely to make changes and utilize the latest industry techniques and products to achieve a good look for me. And, I have received many compliments from friends and strangers. Thanks, Kathleen. I do not hesitate to recommend Salon b as a salon of choice.

I love what he did to my hair and I definitely recommend him to all of you out there that needs a good haircut. :D I have been getting a lot of compliments from people (even from people I dont even know. lol!)

Since moving here to Elk Grove from SF 7 years ago, it's been quite a challenge trying to find a salon that 1) listens to my concerns over the texture and maintenance of my hair 2) is skilled and specializes in their craft to work with ethnic hair.

Lindsey at Salon b is an outstanding stylist who definitely is a natural at her craft. I cannot imagine going to any other salon in Sacramento. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you feel pampered and welcomed!

Five stars to this salon and stylist. I just can't wait to have my hair colored there!

I have relied on Salon b for my hair care ever since it opened, and was a regular customer at its sister salon, Salon Bravissimo, two years prior. Even now when I go to school in another state I always make sure I have a hair appointment set up during breaks because I know the staff at Salon b will take the best care of my hair. The stylists are friendly and personable, always trying to make sure that you're completely satisfied with your look. The colorists are phenomnenal are are more than willing to give you tips on how to retain your hair color as well as simple styling suggestions. There is also an extensive product line for your every styling need. Don't be hesitant to ask for advice! They're sure to recommend the best product for your hair. Also, if there's an upcoming wedding or other special event, Salon b stylists are extremely gifted at creating wonderful up-dos and other chic looks so you're sure to look amazing. If you're unsatisifed with your current stylist, or just want a great new hair-do, you're guaranteed to love the salon b experience!

I love this salon! Kathleen and Scott have been coloring and cutting my hair for almost six years. A few years ago I tried a few other salons for a change, and I came right back after five months. They always spend time discussing what we're going to do, and advise me accordingly. I highly recommend salon b to anyone, especially someone who has had a bad experience somewhere else or someone who wants a change. Everyone who works there is efficient and friendly and professional.

I was just recently in Sacramento for a wedding, I had never been to Sacramento before nor did i know what I was going to do about my hair, so I took a chance by surfing on the internet to find a hair salon close to the hotel we were staying at that is how I came across Salon B. I walked in and felt right at home they make you feel so welcome, my boyfriend even came with me hoping that he could get a hair cut while I was getting my hair done. He walked right in and got seen right away and his hair turned out fantastic, my hair turned out so incredible even the photographer wanted a picture of my hair and I was just a guest I wasn't even a part of the wedding, I got so many compliments from everyone. I just want to say thank you for making me look so wonderful!

Its facsinating what you can do when you're ready for a bold new look. With the right stylist (Avery) and just the right cut, the evolution of a new YOU is boundless. From time to time, people deserve a new refreshing and inspiring beginning...and why not start with HAIR. Salon B is raw innovation and style distinction. Talk about a league of extraordinary stylist/designers. They make you look and feel magnificent. Customer Service is prompt and pleasant. The staff is very poised, polished, and professional. They have a passion for their line of work and it shows tremendously. Avery valued my thoughts and was up for the challenge. Hats off to you, Avery. :) Salon B is in a class of its own. The essence of hair is never understated. Invest in yourself...let Salon B reveal the real YOU.

5 Stars: Awesome Stylist (by katcannon)

katcannon — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I moved here from San Diego and the only thing I missed was my stylist. I found Salon B here on City Search and read about Amy. The reviwer raved about her ability to cut and style curly hair. So I made an appointment. Amy spend time disussing my history of my hair, how I take care of it each day, products I use and what I may be looking for in any change. Then she told me what she saw as how to cut and style my hair and how did I like her suggestions. All this before she washed and conditioned my hair. I was attending a business event that evening so she styled it extra special. I recieved nothing but raves on my hair and was even told I looked 10 years younger. The true test of a hair cut is how it looks 2 weeks after the cut. I can testify that my hair looked even better as it grew out then the day Amy cut it. I have found my stylist and look forward to my next appointment,

5 Stars: A great stylist in the area! (by jnjbaldwin)

jnjbaldwin — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Since moving to the Sacramento area in November, I have been driving to San Francisco to get my hair done by a trusted friend and stylist. I finally got tired of paying almost $100 for my cut+tip, gas money, parking fees, and bridge tolls and decided it was time to find someone closer. I have had many bad experiences whenever I move and try to find a new stylist, so I was a little worried about being able to find a good salon. I read most of the reviews for salon b, and booked an appointment with Lindsay. I had not had a haircut in three months, and the shape of my cut was completely gone. After a short conversation, Lindsay got to work and did an awesome job! She updated my cut and gave me exactly what I wanted, even though she had little to work with! The salon has a relaxed feel, and the staff seemed happy and friendly. I have already booked my second appointment, after learning the added bonus: my haircut was about half the cost of what I have been paying to drive to San Francisco. An urban salon at an affordable cost: priceless!!!

5 Stars: Best Colorist in town (by jlarson)

jlarson — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Years ago I found the best colorist, she was nice fun to talk to and did the best work, and then she had to move to SF and I was unable to go and see her. I was forced to try to find another colorist in town, which is not an easy thing to do. Thank goodness she moved back to sacramento! Plus she was even better at color than she was before (I didn't even think that was possible)! She is a perfectionist so you will not leave the salon disappointed, which I can not say about the places I had to go while she was gone. Go and see Corina at Salon B and you will be happy you did!

5 Stars: 14 Years of Consistently Fantastic Haircuts (and color!) (by anne_f)

anne_f — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I've been going to Kathleen ever since I finished college and started my career. This means 14 years of compliments on my hair. Not only are Scot and Kathleen masters of their craft, but they are delightful people.

It is always a fun afternoon when I have my Salon appointment. It is a testament to Kathleen's talent and precision that she can exchange in occasionally raucous banter and tend to my hair without having accidentally snipped off a part of my ear or paint a strip of hair color paste down my face.

All kidding aside, when you need your hair to be fabulous, you go to Scot and Kathleen.

5 Stars: Best Hair cut I've had in YEARS!!! (by curlyredheadgirl)

curlyredheadgirl — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 09:00:00 GMT

After going through all of the salons listed on this site I settled on Salon B. I had previously been to one of the other salons listed and had a bad experience - so I was a bit nervous about trying yet another salon. I shouldn't have been. When I called the salon the receptionist was very professional and asked if I wanted to come in that very day or another day! I told her that I needed someone who was experiencd with curly hair and she recommended Amy.

Amy spent quite a bit of time talking with me about what I wanted, what I needed, and what would work best with my very curly hair. I really appreciated the time that she took and that she didn't seem rushed or annoyed with my explanations of past experiences. (I should add that I really wanted "something new". Many salons that I've been to previously have been reluctant to do anything but what I already had.)

When we finally settled on what Amy would do I sat back and let her do her work. Amy spent quality time on my hair, didn't rush and ended up giving me a fantastic cut! I couldn't be happier!! She has a great personality and I really enjoyed talking with her - it was a really relaxing experience. In the past with other hair dressers I was always having to wonder if they knew what they were doing - but with Amy I could tell she was a pro. She also offered several good tips on how to take care of my hair. So far everyone that has seen my hair loves it - even my husband and he never wants me to change my hair.

This salon has a very strict training program - all of the hairdressers are well trained, and the other clients looked great when they were done. The actual salon is very nice - with an airy feeling and had a really nice atmosphere. There was no high sales pressure which I really appreciated.

I would highly recommend this salon and especially Amy. And for anyone that has curly hair - Amy is the cutter for you!! I'm so glad to have finally found someone that I can go to again!!

I just made my way from an appointment at Salon B ,which is the latest name and location for Kathleen and Scott Clark's Hair Salon. I have followed them from location to location and now ,new name ,because they are that good. They have consistently proved themselves to be the best at cut, color, styling. They love what they do and appear dedicated to ongoing training of themselves and their staff. Their staff stylists talk about the rigorous training that they have beyond their license. To a stylist, they have said, that it is hard but really worth it. In fact, they are very often returning from some exotic locale ( Milan, Italy) or Vidal Sassoon's in L.A. Pretty impressive. I am truly a loyal fan!

5 Stars: Best Salon for artistry and class!!! (by izeroin)

izeroin — Sat, 26 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

For professionalism, 5-star customer service, and the highest quality of skill available in the Sacramento area, Salon B is the place you want to visit to realize the best looking you. Everyone from the moment you walk in the door to the receptionist to the stylists to the world-class owners, Kathleen and Scot, you will feel like a million bucks!!! Just recently, I went in to pick me up after recovering from a serious car accident and Corina along with Lindsay picked my spirits up off the floor and placed it back into my head, LOL. They helped me to walk out of their salon with dignity and respect and they comforted me, while they transformed my look into oh, my God, everyone: strangers, family members and friends, all say, "Wow, you look amazing." Corina made my lifeless eyes shine sky blue again with her ability with color artistry, and Lindsay is an artist with her shears. She gave me a very complimentary cut while my hair recovers from a few haircuts that were not Lindsay's. I should never have gone to anyone, but Salon B. Together both of them straightened my curly hair with the Yuko hair straightening process. I highly recommend it to anyone with fine processed hair. It saved me hours of time blow-drying and straightening, plus I physically could not keep my arms up to style my hair every day, with me still recovering from my accident. So for anyone with physical limitations or even time limitations, the Yuko process is the step you want to take. At Salon B, I know that I will walk out of their door looking better than I did the other way around; and, we have all walked into a salon and walked out and asked our self, "What just went wrong?" LOL. Well, you WILL NEVER worry about one of those moments at Salon B, the "No Worry" salon outside of Beverly Hills right in our neighborhood. Without a doubt, they are the Beverly Hills of Sacramento!!!! Try them out you will love me for telling you to go, so go, LOL!!!

Salon B, fun, energetic place to have a variety of hair services performed. My stylist Lindsay is great! She takes care of my hair needs, with or without an appointment. She is thorough, very friendly and fun. When she is finished, I feel like a million dollars. I can not recommend Lindsay any more. In fact I have recommended her to several friends and they too are very happy. I even recommended by boss to her and she thanks every time she sees Lindsay.

Salon B: Lindsay
What a talented stylist Lindsay is. Not only did she give me probably the best color I have had in years but took the time to show me how to style my hair. She knows her business and you can see tyhat she enjoys her work it is not just a job to her. I ahve had people comment about may hair on how good it looks and also the fact that the color is lasting way longer than it ever did.
The salon itself is great; airy and bright but yet very tasteful. All of the staff and stylists are very friendly, and helpful and do not seem to have airs and graces. They intersting thing was that each time I have been in all of the stylists seem to have a great rapport with their clients, perhaps because they have had the cleinets for lone time?

I have recommended Lindsay to both fiends and co-workers and look forward to my next appointment
A very satisified customer

5 Stars: Yuko Straightening & Best Hair Color! (by ashleysanford)

ashleysanford — Fri, 25 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

Salon b is great! I recently got my hair colored by Corina, who is an amazing color specialist. I went in knowing that I wanted a more natural look but I really wanted it to be fun. My hair was dull and lifeless when I first went to see Corina, and she completely changed that. She was able to look at my complexion and know exactly what color would compliment me, and it does! Not only is she amazing with natural colors but she is not afraid to play with fun wild colors. I get compliments on my hair color everywhere I go, and I'll never go to anyone else to color my hair again.

I also got the Yuko hair straightening by Corina and Linsday. My hair used to be a frizzing curly/wavy mess. I had to blow-dry my hair straight, and then flat iron it piece by piece. After getting my hair straightened all I have to do is blow-dry my hair and quickly run a flat iron through the ends to give it a smoother look. Overall, it went from taking me 30 mins. to an hour to do my hair, to now at the most 10 minutes and my hair is done! And it stays looking straight, shiny and healthy looking all day long.

I recommend Salon b to all my friend and family. All of the stylists seem to be extremely talented and work together to make the salon a fun, relaxed and professional place to be.

5 Stars: I am very greatful to Lindsay and Corina at Salon B. Thank you girls for being so wonderful!!!! (by amlc22580)

I had been researching all the salons in the Sacramento area to find the best place to have the Yuko Thermal Straightening done and hair extentions added into my fine curly hair. I met with several stylists at different salons and hands down felt the most comfortable with Salon B. Lindsay and Corina are both certified Yuko experts and they have chosen to work as a team to provide the best thermal straightening service you can get. This is the way the system is intended to be done as you would only see in the Yuko Salon in Beverly Hills and Salon B in Sacramento. Not only is your service going to be better you also don't have to spend the whole day at the salon. I then went over my options with Lindsay about hair extentions (she is a hair extention goddess). I had heard about other methods such as bonding and braiding but after seeing the locking method I knew it was the least damaging and looked the most natural. You would never know that I was born with fine curly hair that refused to grow. My hair is now staight and full and beautiful. I feel like a new person. I highly recommend you see these girls. They are fantastic!

I am so thankful to have found Corina Perdue at Salon B!

I do not normally take the time to write reviews, but this one I had to write, as I know how difficult and frustrating it can be to find a fantastic hair colorist!

The wonderful thing about Corina is not only her expertise and perfectionism, but also her versatility. She is fabulous with beautiful and natural colors and she is also extremely talented with cutting edge creativity for the most vibrant and stunning hair colors.

I have learned that Corina was trained in San Francisco where she was the head of the color department and the salon color educator for one of the leading salons in Union Square, San Francisco! She has returned to her native Sacramento and discovered the perfect salon to showcase her talent.

5 Stars: Awesome hair colorist! (by cyrilslost)

I just moved up to Sacramento from San Francisco, and am so lucky that my hair colorist Corina has just recently moved up here as well, and works at salon B!!! Corina is awesome to say the least, she never lets me down and is always consistant, be it my usual, or when we try something new it's always fabulous. I was also very impressed with the salon space, very well put together, and the owners are very nice..

5 Stars: Find a haridresser who listens! (by cblady)

cblady — Fri, 18 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I have been going to the owners of this salon for over eighteen years and they never fail to impress. I want a new cut, I get what I want made to order. A new color, no problem and it's all you when you're done! Scot and Kathleen have asembled another winning team of professionals they've trained to cut and color like pros every single time. In my book, the best thing about this salon and it's people is consistency. When Scot told me they were selling Salon Bravissimo and starting a new place, I was distraught but not to worry. Many of the people came with them and now you get a bird's-eye view like being in a tree house while you get pampered and beautified. The new Howe avenue location is even better than being by a bakery and I thought I would miss the chocolate chewies--but NO! It's restful and no fishbowl now.

I love this salon! Everytime I go in there I get quality service. The stylists stay up to date with new trends and styles, which gives me confidence that they are going to give me a cut or color that is "in style." Avery Clark does an amazing job on color and haircuts. He takes your needs and creates something innovative and fresh. He also did my friends hair for a formal and made them look like a hollywood glam girls.

5 Stars: Amy rocks!!! (by pedroanne)

pedroanne — Wed, 16 May 2007 09:00:00 GMT

I'm less than "low maintenace" when it comes to my hair. Amy listened, and gave me a style that I love!! As for my highlights, I constantly get compliments! Amy is amanzing with color. I recently got married, and the stylist at the hotel that did my up-do raved about the depth of my color, and how natural it looked. The salon is very comfortable, friendly and concerned about their customers. My only complaint is getting to the salon. I've been twice since they opened, and gotten lost both times. But it's more than worth the hunt in finding them.

Avery Clark did my hair for Senior Ball. He had me meet him a week before the big day to tell him what I wanted which I thought was really nice. When I came in on the day of Sr. Ball he had it all planned out what he was going to do and the end result looked amazing. He listened to what I wanted done and did such a great job. I was so excited! It really made my night because I felt so beautiful. I highly recommend Avery for an up-do because he really works hard and knows what he's doing!

I recently moved here from Orange County, and was having a hard time with my recent haircut. A friend recommended the people at Salon B, and I made an appointment with Kathleen. She was absolutely great! She really listened and cut my hair with a style that I could work with while my hair is growing out. I have had my hair cut at some of the top salons in both San Francisco and Orange County, and Kathleen did one of the best cuts yet. I highly recommend this salon.

Salon B is an excellent hair salon. Outstanding service, outstanding stylists, and super friendly, and beautifully appointed. Amy - who is board certified colorist, and a brilliant precision hair stylist is my favorite! So go on, be bold, try Salon B, and arrange for a consult - this is really encouraged. Whoever you choose at Salon B (Amy) - you will not be disappointed, and you'll come away feeling like a million dollars!

5 Stars: Best hair color and cut in the Sacramento area! (by dklomba)

I moved from the SF Bay Area over 3 years ago and this salon compares to top rated SF Bay Area salons. It is definitely the best color and cut that I have had since I moved to the Sacramento area.
