Sylvia’s Beauty Salon

To the women who are very demanding with their hair: Verónica is AMAZING! Moving here, I have always had a problem, no matter where I went, that every stylist uses the blow dryer as a drying tool, not an actual styling tool: the excess water was blown dry, sometimes even using the fingers, and then they would either use the flat or the curling iron for styling, not only damaging my hair, but always making it look frizzy. Today, for the very first time, I met Verónica and she did exactly what I’ve always wanted: she perfectly polished my hair with the blow dryer, and then only did a little flat iron to seal it– and it looks gorgeous and silky and shiny. Thank you Verónica and the wonderful staff at Sylvia’s Beauty Salon!

I go in on a Tuesday around 6 to see how much they would charge me to dye my hair if I was to go another day. I get there and they asked me to wait for a lady to take a look at my hair. I waited maybe for about 10 minutes and then on of the ladies came over and asked what it was that I wanted to do to my hair. I told her exactly what I wanted and she said she would be able to do it. I was never told how much it would be, but it did not matter because I was excited to hear that she would be able to do my hair how I wanted after showing her the pictures. She said «I can do it tomorrow.» I asked her how long it would take for her to do it and she said it would take around ²⁄₃ hours because it was going to be along process. I remembered I had something to do after work and wouldn’t be able to be there for that long so I told her…“Oh I can’t tomorrow.” She got mad and said «Oh well I can’t do it today» (she said that in the rudest way you could imagine). My mom then asked her «what time tomorrow?» & this lady’s response was «For what? She doesn’t have time tomorrow!» and walked away. I got up and left. This lady got mad because I did not have time the next day. She could have given me options for other days. But obviously she did not want my business. I have read I am not the only one to leave this place with bad customer service experience from people at this business.

No matter who you get, you can be sure your getting a quality job done on your hair. Being that I don’t have much hair I usually come in for a buzz but that still doesn’t change the fact that these people know how to treat customers right! My hats off to a fine staff and I love the extensions they made to the building. Very professional business here. Thank you!

I only go to this place bc of Sofi (Sofia). I first went to her at a previous salon that she was at & ever since she started cutting my hair, it has grown longer & faster & looks so healthy! She has a great hand & she won’t cut more off than what you ask for. Ask for Sofi! She’s the best

Love this place. Been coming here for years. Everyone here are amazing peoples Sandra, Graciela My stylist, Vanessa and Vero. Great costumer service, friendly, clean and feels just like home. Sandra mil gracias por lo que hiso por mi XOXO

Omg so I came into Sylvia’s salon after my uncle had bleached my hair to a carrot orange, which was hideous by the way, lol so anyways the customer service experience was awesome they were all so friendly and GREAT!!! I LOVE the work they did on me, it was better than what I was expecting. I would recommend this salon to anyone and everyone that wants a GREAT job done!

Usually I am quick to give reviews whether they be good or bad. But I was hesitant on giving a review to this salon because my childhood best friend recommended it. She said her «friend» Sandra had been doing her hair for years. So here we go, 4^th of July afternoon. We drive over an hour away to SIT FOR 5 HOURS!!!
I was so frustrated but I could tell my friend felt bad and she was apologizing for Sandra! I told her that it was not a big deal and to not worry. FINALLY, she calls me to her salon chair. I sit down and tell her what I want, I even showed her a picture. She says, «Oh yeah mija! I can do that.» I thought — PERFECT! Time to lean back and let her work her magic. The foils were in my hair in less than 10 minutes and she sends me back to my waiting chair. I was thinking wow! that was ridiculously fast!
Whatever, 30 minutes go by and nobody has checked my foils another 10 minutes go by and nothing… I finally tell her that my head feels like it’s burning and she send me to her assistant who had the worst hair in the world!!! — I felt like a kid being pushed towards a monster. She tells her something in Spanish and the lady is like ok. I sit again while Sandra is tending to her other client chatting and chatting away. Meanwhile, my lady is patiently waiting to receive more instruction. I tell her I that I think we need to wash this out of my hair. She agrees, but says hold on. Still waiting… and waiting… another 10 – 15 minutes goes by. FINALLY Sandra tells her «WASH HER HAIR!»
lady begins washing my hair puts some toner in it and the smell is so strong that she gave me a towel to place over my face. Being that I am 34 years old, it’s important to take in mind that I have been doing my hair for YEARS now. This is not my first time at a rodeo folks…
Now I’m thinking OMG WTF did I just do by coming here? Again, I try to stay positive wash, wash, scrub, scrub… sit up dries me off and asks me to sit back on the shit chair that I’ve been on all afternoon!!! Another 20 minutes goes by and her assistant says okay come and sit on this chair I walk over there, look in the mirror and there are CHUNKS missing!!! Yes folks, CHUNKS MISSING ROM MY HAIR!!! I wanted to cry!!!
I told the lady (nicely) «oh my god, look there are chunks missing in my hair because you left the bleach on too long. She says, «No mija, you had your hair like that already.» WTF!?! My friend walks up and I felt bad yelling at her «friends» so I just sucked it up and was like who cares… it’s just hair… it will grow back.
Take in mind that I live in Sacramento and I was there only for the 3-​day weekend. I didn’t want to spend it being mad, crying or being mean to anyone. However, I spent 4^th of July in her Salon from 9:30am (when she scheduled my appt) till 3:45pm! I’m not being dramatic! It was horrible, I was unable to do the bar-​b-​que that I wanted because of the time that it took for me driving all the way there, to sit there for hours and to drive home.
But I must let you all know that she may or may not do a good job. This was just my horrible and traumatizing experience. She has NO CONSIDERATION of her clients time! You pay to have her assistants do the job and she chooses her ONE client who she will work on. Everybody else gets sent away but charged as if it were Sandra doing the job.
I decided to write because my friend just told me that she went back and that she treated her really poorly and f**ked up her hair. When I say F88ked up her hair? Do I mean F**ked up her hair lol. It literally looks like 1990’s chunky brassy highlights are in her hair. It is SOOOO UGLY! Apparently, she called Sandra after two days and told her that she was not happy with the end result and Sandra told her to go back today at 11am. She walks in sits down for 45 minutes and Sandra asks her to come back an hour later… Take in mind that she lives over an hour away (and SANDRA KNOWS THIS). where the hell is she going to go… It so sad because my friend just left and she is flooded in tears!!! She’s sad about the treatment from her «so-​called friend» … WOW!!! That is so F**king sad!!! Like literally, my friend was her client for over 6 years and to do her dirty like that… TOTALLY deserves my review up here!
GO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
NEVER EVER EEEEEVER AGAIN!

Oh goodness, I don’t want to share my most prized salon, but their work has spoken for itself. This place is amazing. The place is always always busy, even if there is a 3 hour wait. Even if there is an appt you scheduled, this place has been blessed by God’s grace and wonderful people. Debra and Jesse, please don’t ever leave. You guys are artists. I wish nothing but the best for this place.

I went here and they had an awesome price of $ 12 for a man’s haircut and they did a great job with my medium fade over and combover. Good customer service too. Highly recommend.

Fui a este salon basada en los comentarios de Unilocal!!!Y la verdad me encanto me atendio la señora Graciela muy paciente ya que tengo el cuero cabelludo sencible y mi pelo es largo y con mucho volumen!!! Llegue con mi pelo dark chocolate con highlight y le dije quiero un rojo pero no escandaloso me aplico el tinte me puso un tratamiento y cuando me lo desenredo ni lo senti !!! Quede super satisfecha !!!

If I can give a 0 star, I would!!! I made an apt for a haircut with Sandra for 5:45pm and I got there at 5:50pm. When I came in, I was greeted by Sandra, who seemed surprised or unaware of my appt with her. She was cutting a guy’s hair so she told me to wait a bit. After 20 minutes, she was done with the guy’s haircut and told me that her assistant (daughter) will wash my hair. However, she asked another woman to sit down & begin cutting her hair (this woman was a walk-​in, who came in after me). After waiting 40 minutes, I got a phone call and stepped out for 8 minutes. When I came back in, I was supposed to continue to wait. I approached the assistant to check on Sandra. The assistant said she wanted to wash my hair, but I was on a phone call. She asked me to wait a bit while she comb someone’s hair and she will wash my hair after. I told her forget it, but they don’t care. WORSE CLIENT SERVICE EVER!!!

I’ve been going here for the last 5 years. Sandra is amazing! She always takes care of me and of course my hair. Always making sure my hair look the best. I wouldn’t go to any other salon! Love her and love her salon! Would highly recommend it! Oh and she sure does know her colors!

I am truly happy with the way Sandra work she has an awesome team and I would not change her at all

This lady called hair stylist messed up my hair so bad I would not recommend anybody to come here. I made an appointment with Sandra and i had to wait 2 hours for her to do my hair I expect if I make an appointment they well attended me at the hour I made my appointment she doesn’t even do you hair she sends her assistant to do everything wash dye etc she just supervise what the assistant does after everything all she does is cut the hair again makes the assistant blow dry it. I use to come here but after 4 times coming here and Sandra not doing my hair I give up. Besides the quality of the dye was so cheap that made my hair damage made my ombré hair look like yellow ombré instead of blonde ombré after everything Sandra has done I left and found a new hair stylist that I love never coming back to this place

I love it there. Vero did my ombré hair and it came out fantastic. I was very happy with the job!

Silvia turned me into a blonde without damaging my hair! She is wonderful! If u want a platinum blonde and no damage, go with her. She does magic. Best stylist by far!

Honestly went here based on the Unilocal reviews and all I can say is I’m over the moon happy on how Graciela cut my bob.
I was nervous going into a new salon, but I’ll be going back for maintenance on my bob with Graciela she checked with me on the 1^st cut if that was the length I wanted off and we decided to go a lil shorter.
Gotten so many compliments on how neat and precise it is.

To all our most appreciative customers we would like to inform that we are having technical difficulties with our phone line if you need any service or need to contact us please feel free to call Sandra at (626) 251‑5735 thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

Best place EVER! So I was referred to go here from one of my friends! The owner (Sandra) has some ideas on what to do with my hair. After talking and showing me samples! We came out with some great ideas! She offered me water, tea or coffee! I was so happy with the outcome ! Long drive, worth it!

I’ve been on a hunt for a good hair dresser and I have found her! SANDRA is her name! I originally found this salon on Unilocal thanks to all the great reviews on here… I came in as a walk in and she fit me in. In-​between her clients. I had to wait a minute but let me tell you it was totally worth it. She was so nice, friendly, talkative. She gave me the look I was looking for! I will continue to come to see her! I absolutely love my hair. She even asked «ARE YOU SURE YOU WANNA CUT YOUR HAIR»? Because I went from long hair to a bob… We’ll over all I would recommend anybody and everybody. Also she is up to date with all the new styles! I also got to see the other girls work on there client and they all did an amazing job.

Overall it was a pretty good experience.
Gabriela was professional and quick. She cut my hair then cut and curled my wife’s hair.
The shop has 5 chairs to cut hair, 2 chairs to wash hair, and 2 chairs to dry hair. The waiting area only sits about 5 people. The ladies in the shop speak English and Spanish.
The only thing I didn’t like was that they turn you towards the little tv on the wall when they cut your hair. I prefer to look in a mirror while they cut my hair.
