Salon Bravissimo Llc

I had my hair permanently straightened with the Yuko system By Julia. She did a wonderful job with the straightening and she did a beautiful cut after the treatment. I'm very pleased with the treatment, but I do have frizzy ends where my hair was colored. Its an easy fix with some smoothing serum and flat iron. I also purchased the shampoo/ conditioners, but I don't really think they make a difference in the appearance of the hair (it probably helps the straightening snmoothness last longer) I use my regular smoothing shampoo and got a really nice result better than the Yuko shampoo.

Pros: nice, friendly,clean

Cons: none

I recently cut my hair into the popular bob. While I liked it for a while I desperately missed my long hair.

Joy gave me a consultation and made me feel very comfortable with how the process worked. I was very concerned because I like to run my fingers through my hair or just throw it up really casually and I like to swim. I didn't want high maintenance hair. Joy reassured me that I wouldn't have a problem with any of these things.

I decided to pay the price and get then extensions. Not only do they look completely natural. I also feel like they are just a part of my head. There is no more maintenance than my other haircut that took me a long time to style. I have received many compliments on my thick long hair (people don't even know they are extensions).

They were very expensive but I consider the cost worth it. I feel so much better with my long hair back. Thank you Joy. I will continue to go to you for as long as you are doing hair.

Pros: Great hair extensions

Cons: Price

quality work..personal and prompt attention by Joy. i previously had been a customer of Hoshalls and had hair extensions put in by Erin. Not only was the job bad but it destroyed my hair. the difference in quality and professionalism here v Hoshalls is a world apart.

I had tried various locations for massage and I have to say I've finally found my favorite masseuse. Nikki at Salon Bravissimo has the most amazing touch with the most fluid of motion. I have to say she is the best. Definitely coming back.

Pros: Friendly staff, great massage.

Thank you Joy for the excellent job you did on my hair extensions. After my recovery from chemo, I was dealling with the alot of challenges. You really help bring back my image as well as my self confidence. I look great again and ready to tackle the world. Strongly recommend. A+++. Also great massage and facial from Nikki. Wonderful and friendly staff, no pressure or pretentiousness. Just a group of talented and professional people.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Joy from Salon Bravissimo changed my life. For years, I struggled with my frizzy naturally wavy hair. I would avoid pools, rain and other activities that would unleash my wild mane. I was originally going to get the treatment in San Francisco, but I found out that Salon Bravissimo was just down the street from my house in Sacramento and that Joy had years of experience. I was really nervous at first, but Joy, her assistant, Holly and the rest of the staff made me feel so comfortable. The salon was beautiful and the staff professional. Since Joy performed the Yuko system on my hair, I can go swimming and meet with my friends as soon as they call. My hair smells like shampoo now instead of that burned hair odor that I usually got from flat ironing. I never imagined that my hair could ever be this low maintenance; it was almost too good to be true. But, it is true and absolutely fabulous.

Pros: Professional Staff, Beautiful Salon, Great Location

Cons: zilch

Posted 07/08/08

Once again I just want to say that you did such an incredible job on my hair extensions. I feel like a brand new person. Exactly what I was looking to achieve for my new look. I feel and look confident with my new hair. Thanks a bunch Joy!!! : )

Pros: Very precise service, looks great!

Cons: None

I have been trying to find a good facial for a while. I have been to several salons in the Sacramento area and have not found what I am looking for. I was just recently referred to Emily at Salon Bravissimo by one of my friends and I am so glad I was. I was so impressed by the facial I received that I have already booked another one. She did an awesome job and I left there feeling AMAZING!! My skin has never felt better! Not only does she give great facials but she also is great at waxing. I had her wax my eyebrows and my legs and she did a great job! My eyebrows have never looked this good before. I am so thankful I was referred to her and will for sure be referring others to her. I can't wait to go back again!!

Pros: Perfect experience, started on time, did a great job!!

Cons: Absolutely nothing!

I recently moved here and was searching for a reputable salon where I could get my hair thermally straightened. I found 3 separate salons in Sacramento that offer the original thermal straightening technique (Yuko or Liscio) and I had consultations at all 3 places. I was absolutely most comfortable with Joy at Salon Bravissimo. She clearly had the most experience and demonstrated the best overall knowledge of the process. I just had my curly hair straightened and cut by Joy yesterday and I could not be MORE THRILLED with the results. My hair looks fabulous!!! Also important to note is that Joy is the owner of the salon, and she is doing a great job of making it a comfortable yet chic place to get your hair styled or skin cared for. Joy had her two great assistants (Julia and Holly) assist her with the straightening processes, which meant that she completed the process in 3 hours, far shorter time than I was prepared to spend getting it done, and this also meant that the cost was cheaper since beyond 3 hours the price is an hourly rate (consistent with every salon I talked to). I really just can't express how trully pleased I was with my entire experience with Joy and her salon - I will definitely be a regular now! PS: I do not know anyone that works at this salon, I am writing this to help anyone else who may be searching for a good salon, as I was a couple of weeks ago. I strongly recommend the Yuko straightening treatment performed by Joy if you have unwanted curly or wavy hair. I will be forever grateful to her!

Pros: Everything!

Cons: None to report!

Posted 09/27/07

I've done extensive research regarding permanent hair straightening and I decided to go with Yuko Systems. I was on their website and found Joy at Salon Bravissimo. She did a wonderful job on my hair. It's hard to describe my excitement of finally having beautiful smooth straight hair. Thank you much.

Pros: Wonderful hair straigthening.

Cons: None

Posted 09/27/07

I have been going to Salon Bravissimo for my haircuts for quite some time. I've recently found out that they added a facial and skincare section to the salon. I decided to try it out. Emily, the facial technician was incredible. She was extremely knowledgable and professional. I felt so rejuvenated that I made it a regular commitment to see her. I've tried other facial techs at other salon/spas and I would have to say Emily is the best.

Pros: Great facial service and knowledgable staff.

I have been a customer of Salon Bravissimo for over 5 years. The staff is polite and courteous and always up to date on the latest trends in hair and color! Just look at the stylists! They always wear the cuts and colors themselves. Anyone in the Salon is Fantastic!! I was referred to Dana from one of her clients and now I too recommend her to anyone I know. I am fortunate to have a career that allows me to have different styles and colors and because of this I have had Dana take my hair from Pink to Black to Blonde to Red to Brunette from long to short then long again and always my hair has stayed in great condition. I also have her style my hair for events that I am attending. What I find the most refreshing about her is her honesty if I want something and it may not work she sets my expectations but allows me to make the choice. It?s my hair and I definitely want my choice but I trust her judgment. Everyone I recommend loves the outcome and the experience. So again I recommend Salon Bravissimo and any of the stylists but Dana is definitely my choice!

Posted 09/02/07

Terri did such a wonderful job of highlighting and cutting my hair. She really paid attention to my needs and took the time to do it right. I strongly recommend.

Pros: Attentive to details, clean, friendly staff, and online booking.

Posted 08/14/07

I had decided on a whim to trust the people who have written reviews on here. I read that a few reviews about Dana and thought, wow she must be fantastic. Hair is important in my life and even though I have never goneto someone I didnt already know I read the reviews and believed them.

I went in and saw Dana and my hair was ruined. The color did not come out the way she told me it would.
TO my horror she didnt even try to fix it. She said I she had other appts that day.

I ended up having to pay twice the amount to get it fixed elsewhere. I believe now that those review are from friends or the stylist themselves. From my experience I cant believe any of those could have been true.

Posted 08/07/07

I have been going to Salon Bravissimo for years and have seen many good stylists come and go. The quality of their stylists has always been consistently high. They are knowledgable and personable and I always leave feeling refreshed and like I have the right style for my hair. They are awesome!

Posted 06/20/07

SAlon Bravissimo really takes it to another level with the incredible skincare services they offer. Nikki my aesthetician gives the most wonderful facials. Great hair and skin in one stop. Can't beat that.

Pros: Great sylists, great service.

Cons: none

Posted 06/01/07

I am so impressed with the hair color I received at Salon Bravissimo. It is a good find when you track down someone that really understands color. Joy is absolutely amazing. Thank you and I love the salon atmosphere.

Pros: Excellent hair coloring, friendly staff, wonderful environment.

I have heard about eyelash extensions and was always interested in having it done. My lashes are short and stubby and I dread fake lashes. I did some research on the net and found Xtreme lashes. This is the company that most Hollywood stars are using. Then I found out that Salon Bravissimo offers this service. I am so glad that I had it done there. Jen, my technician was great! She did such a wonderful job I feel incredible. My eyes look so defined and alluring all my friends are just awe-struck when I told them that these will stay on for months at a time with some routine maintenance. I thought it would be hard to maintain the lashes. To my surprise, I don't even change anything from my lifestyle. I can still swim and do all of my activities. It is truly amazing how long lashes can change a person's look. I strongly recommend the service.

Pros: Eyelash extensions are incredible. Looks great, easy to maintain.

Posted 05/24/07

I recently moved to Sacramento and was looking for a new hair salon. I am so fortunate to have found Salon Bravissimo. My stylist is Joy and she is unbelievable. By far this is the best my hair has ever looked!!! She is so talented with her extensions service. I wanted a dramatic change from my short bob to silky long hair. She uses the Hairlocs system which does not use glues so your hair will not be damaged. I could not believe the results! I feel like a whole new person. Thanks Joy. Furthermore, the staff at Salon Bravissimo are very friendly and helpful. A+ customer service. Strongly recommend.

Pros: Talented stylist, great customer service, very trendy atmosphere.

Cons: Need to book appointment ahead of time, not too easy for walk-in appts.

Posted 05/02/07

I've been seeing the same stylist, Dana, for 5 years now and I couldn't be happier with every cut, style, and haircolor she has given me. I like change, but often don't know exactly what I want. Dana has an amazing eye for color and always has great ideas and suggestions for me. I feel comfortable letting her do what ever she thinks would look best on me. I always feel great after leaving her. Go see Dana!

Posted 04/22/07

I've been going to Salon Bravissimo for more than ten years now and although stylists have come and gone, they've all been first rate which is why I've stayed a loyal customer all this time. They're not kidding when they say they do "precision cuts." I have very straight, very thick Asian hair and too many times I watched in dismay as an untrained stylist hacked away, leaving me with uneven bangs, or mismatched ends. That won't happen at Salon Bravissimo. Every stylist I have had there has been excellent. I've never been unhappy with a cut. And whenever I've told a stylist that I'm bored with my current 'do and would like to try something different, he/she has always suggested and executed a new style that wasn't too crazy, but was exactly what I needed.

My current stylist, Eva, is by far my favorite, though. This woman is absolutely meticulous and will literally spend an hour or more cutting my hair. I always feel like a million bucks after she's done with me. She's friendly, courteous and has stayed late, past closing, for me. I believe Eva is one of the more experienced stylists at the salon, and believe me, she's worth every single penny.

Pros: Stylists are highly skilled, receptionists are courteous, friendly and helpful

Cons: none

Posted 02/07/07

I have used many many many hair stylists all over the country, but I have not found even one superior to Rosanna Kammeyer. She is exceptionally skilled, creative but accommodating to the client's desires and preferences. I have been completely satisfied and pleased by the results of my visits. I can honestly give her my highest recommendation. The salon is pleasant and comfortable, located in a nice little mall, easy to access, with good parking.

Pros: skilled stylist, service, ambience, location, parking

Cons: none

Posted 02/02/07

I scheduled an appointment for a cut at Salon Bravissimo while visiting Sacramento, mainly to fix a not-so-great haircut. I booked with Rosanna, and I had an awesome experience. She listened to what I wanted, analyzed my hair type and face shape and made some recommendations for the cut. She was extremely attentive, and she seemed to take my personal style into account as well. When she was done, I had an incredibly precise and flattering haircut - the next hairstylist I used (in my hometown) even commented on how great a cut I had, and this was after it had grown out! I highly recommend Rosanna and her salon.

Pros: Very skilled and attentive staff.

Posted 02/02/07

Salon bravissimo is great! I love my hairdresser Rosanna. When I come out of there I feel like I look like a million bucks. I always get compliments on my hair. From people I know to strangers and asked who does it. Especially my color. I've had lots of colors and highlights from Rosanna. She's good at what she does. Rosanna never fails to make me look great. My cuts and styles always look fabulous. I've had long hair, shoulder length, and short. All are fab styles I would do over again. She's really nice, too. I totally recommend Rosanna! She's one of a kind.

Pros: Love everything about the place

Cons: not one

I live in San Francisco and I would drive all the way to Salon Bravissimo just to get my hair done. I am very impressed with the appearance of the salon - very clean, neat, and organized, with a professional atmosphere. Most importantly, the friendly staff there provides excellent haircutting and hair coloring services. Before I went there, my hair was dried and damaged from the previous hair salon I visited, but after employing their services, the appearance of it had really improved. Believe it or not, some strangers had even stopped me on the streets to ask me where I get my hair done. Salon Bravissimo offers a wide range of products as well, and I would personally recommend the Bumble and Bumble products. I usually put a certain product of theirs on my hair after I dry it, and it really creates a silky appearance. Overall, I would rate this salon 10 out of 10 and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

There is a wonderful young woman who I have had cut my hair for several years now. She started her career at Brivissimo and has recently returned to my delight! Although she cuts my hair, I have referred her to several other women, young and "more," like myself (smile) for whom she has dyed their hair as well as cut. No matter who I have seen her do, she always makes all of us look like a million dollars! The difference is amazing! I've had people treat me literally like a celebrity after coming out of the salon after Dana has had her way with my hair! My girlfriend has also told me that the only time she gets compliments on her hair is after Dana dyes and cuts it. And, she has told me that heads turn to watch her go by just because of her hair. Strangers have stopped her on the street to ask her who has done her hair! I've also seen Dana do some updo's, I think that's what they still call them, for young women who are getting married or in wedding parties. I came in one day in the late morning when Dana was just finishing up several young women and the bride. They all looked stunning! My mouth was agape! I asked Dana if she often does this and she tells me that she's been doing wedding parties for years, often going to their locations to do their hair for the "big day." I've never had a bad haircut from Dana. She always takes the time to do it right, never rushing me to get out of her chair for another client. That's why I originally started going to Dana because my last stylist started trying to put too many clients on her books working on 3 to 4 women at a time. Dana doesn't do this. She may work on someone else while your dye is setting, but I've never felt rushed or pushed to one side while she takes care of someone else. I highly recommend this salon and Dana Maninang!!! See her sometime! You won't be dissappointed!

Pros: Always fantastic results, great haircut, great hair dye

Cons: Parking can be crouded

Posted 12/14/06

I've been looking for a salon forever and I finally found Salon Bravissimo! I was very very satisfied with both haircuts and color! My whole family and friends love my hair. I even get complements from strangers. So some of my family start going there! It's amazing! They change my life, made me look a lot younger. I always go in the salon without knowing what I want and my stylist will give me a cut that I always love. Very natural as my friends and family say, it really matches my face structure! I love it.. Highly recommend this salon. Premium to the maxxxxxx! i don't think me nor any of my family members will go anywhere else! love it!

Posted 11/18/06

I've found my lifesaver-- Joy! She is the best stylist anyone can ever dream of. Everytime I step into Salon Bravissimo, I have no idea what I want to do with my hair. However, everytime I step out of the salon, I am definitely 110% satisfied. Joy is very creative, she has a unique style when it comes to cut and coloring. She designs my hair according to the shape of my face, my head, and the texture of my hair. Because I have very thin hair, she cuts it in a way that will give me more volume. Every visit is a learning experience because she explains what she will do before she beginsI I love the excellent service, knowledgeable and experienced staff. You definitely need to try this place out. You will walk out looking and feeling GREAT!!!

Posted 11/18/06

My wife bought me a hair service package at Salon Bravissimo. I feel like a whole new person with my new look. I can really see the difference in going to a high end salon. My stylist took the time to analyze what hairstyle and color matches my face. Thank you so much!

Pros: High end beautiful salon.

Cons: Very busy.

Posted 11/17/06

Before I found Salon Bravissimo, my hair was horrible. My nick name was Curly and I always had my hair in a bun to prevent it from getting everywhere. Have the same problem? See Joy at Bravissimo! She has all the skills to make your dream of having straight hair without the frizzy aftermath. After recieving a Yuko hair straightening treatment from Joy, I never have to spend hours straightening my hair with a flat iron! I also recommend Joy for amazing hair cuts and coloring. After my appointments, I get tons of compliments on my hair! Joy, THANKS for your committment in helping me look and feel better!

Pros: Very friendly staff

Cons: ;

Posted 11/17/06

I was so excited to find a new salon that I thought would give a great cut/color! Unfortunately the color was the worst I've ever had -- really horrible! The haircut was OK - not premium quality. I don't think the stylist listened to me at all... everything I said was ignored. I told the stylist I didn't like any brassiness in my hair and that's just about the color description I'd use for what for what I got!! Then to top it off, I was charged twice as much as I normally pay. Really, this was probably the worst color job I've ever had.

Pros: Nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Cons: Way over-priced for what you get -- average hair cut/bad hair color!

Posted 10/08/06

I am new to Sacramento. I was scared that I would never find someone as good as my stylist I had before. I got exactly what I asked for, color and cut.

Cons: really busy
