Salon b

When I arrived, I said I wanted my hair trimmed. A young woman, I believe her name was Megan took a very long time to trim around the bottom of my hair. I began wondering. She acted like she was done. I have layers. I asked if she could trim up the layers. She was lifting hair like she had never touched it, snipping here and there. Kicker was she said someone had to check the cut. Another person showed her all the mistakes. More cutting. My point is I should have been told this person was in training. I was a unsuspecting customer. My hair no longer has «long» layers. I should have walked out. I don’t recommend this place to anyone.

Jennifer Gray is the best in town! I have been going to her for years and I will not let anyone else cut and color my hair! Jennifer is very friendly and stylish! She always has the best hair style so I trust her with my hair 100%! The salon is very trendy and clean! The staff is also very friendly! Jennifer is amazing!

Chantel is great! I came here to surprise my grandma with a hlhc and she did a fantastic job. It was very reasonably priced but also chantel knew exactly what my grandma wanted! I had to translate because she doesn’t speak English but even with that barrier she did great!

CHANTEL is THE BEST… I can ALWAYS count on her to do the very best on my hair, she is my eyes (wear glasses) as my only daughter lives in ALASKA. ALways the consumate professional she works with the seasons and chooses the best colors for me. AVEDA products are the best… been coloring for years and swithched to Aveda. my hair is thick and healthy… thxs CHANTEL … YOUR THE BEST…

I drive from Berkeley to Sacramento since we moved two years ago to get cut by Scott and colored by Chantel. Consistency is the key here.
I’ve gone to other salons where about every 4^th or 5^th visit, something comes out wrong. Color is blah, cut is off… but never here. That’s what I pay for – service I can count on and results that make me look good every time. You can always tell by the compliments from strangers.
And best of all is they are on schedule. I have never had to wait because there was a back-​up.

I’ve been going to Salon B for about a year. This salon is fantastic! I see stylist Megan and she is awesome. Every appointment I’ve gone to she sees me right on time and has such a friendly demeanor. I’m naturally a light brunette and get blonde highlights done. She always makes my color look awesome and changes it according to the season. She does a fantastic cut and always gets me the best products for my hair. They use Aveda products which are amazing! I highly recommend Megan, she will give you the 5 star treatment!!!

I am in disbelief at my treatment at this salon and would hope that no one else has an experience like the one below.
I have been a loyal client of this salon for many years having had treatments from blow drys to highlights to the Brazilian blow out. My wash, blow, and flat iron routinely take 50 minutes due to my long curly frizzy hair.
I made an appointment with «M» my regular stylist and was 10 minutes late to my appointment due to an unforeseen traffic build up nearby (after being on time for all prior appointments). I called the Salon to let them know I would be late at which point the stylist who answered the phone said my regular stylist was out and she («J») would be doing my hair instead. When I arrived «J» turned me away because she would not have enough time since she had a client scheduled at 7pm. I offered to wait until her 7pm client was complete and she declined.
I felt disrespected and treated as unimportant, even though my stylist was changed without my notification and the appointment slot was inappropriately rescheduled.
I had thought that the owner would care about how I felt and was treated, being a loyal client, but when I spoke with him about the incident, he claimed that the salon had notified me of the change and left me messages. This is frankly untrue as I have always reliably received their communications by phone and email including the email confirmation with stylist «M» on the specified date.
In regard to rescheduling me for a 30 minute slot instead of a usual longer slot, he said nearly word for word:
«I am looking at your record now and if it’s taking 60 minutes to do your hair then I am losing money on you and I had better re-​think my pricing strategy.»

I have been going to Salon B now for about 6 years on and off, and I must say I never leave unhappy. From the cheerful happy greeting when you call to the wonderful compliments as you walk out. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. My last visit was with Jenna, she is absolutely amazing! I went in for a trim, which was exactly what she did, sounds easy but you know how a «trim» can turn into a short cut that you’re unhappy with. I was so happy with her great customer service and friendly advice that I decided to do balayage highlights. They look amazing! My hair looks and feels healthier and revived! Jenna you’re awesome thank you!

My stylist’s name is Jenna and I’m pleased to say she took great care of my hair, and gave me what I was looking for. A golden color! I was given a complimentary hand treatment for waiting 15 minutes, which was perfectly ok. The staff were knowledgeable and generous and made me feel like a priority. They have a great selection of hair products and also a reward system. I can’t wait for my next appointment. If you want to be treated nicely and have your hair looking great I would suggest to look no further, you found it.

I got a simple updo (65) done for a wedding by Jenna. I showed her a YouTube video of they type of look i was looking for-​Elsa inspired. It took about an hour considering that she played around with my extra long hair untill we found what looked best. I also made a last minute appointment, so I was really happy that it wasn’t crowded. Jenna was wonderful and we got a long great. My hair was really intricate and I defiantly stood out in my backless dress. It was an enjoyable experience.

I’ve been going here for about a year after relocating from New York. I was given a stylist by the name of Chantel, very young and seemingly upbeat, and as if she really loved her job. She was given a hard task, to turn my, then black hair, brown and then into a nice shade of blonde without destroying my hair. Over time we did make that healthy transition and I still have all of my hair and it is pretty healthy considering. However, about 6 months into seeing her she went extremely light on top and it really looked horrible and was not what I was going for, so she fixed it with toner. All was good for about another 6 months and then I went to see her 3 weeks before going to New York for the holidays, and she messed up once again, but this time it was not such an easy fix. I had very nice ash blonde hair with my natural dark roots (very in style right now), she somehow turned all of my roots this blazing orange color!!! I was so upset! She was double booked during this visit so she was NOT very attentive to my needs, and honestly didn’t even seem sorry or like she wanted to fix it, like she was more concerned about her other client. I was given the one of the hair washing assistants and she was rough on me, ripping the brush through my hair, causing even more damage and she soaked my entire back while washing my hair, I sat there freezing the rest of my visit, with absolutely disgusting orange roots that I absolutely did NOT ask for nor want. Long story short, she didn’t even try to fix it, I called and complained and they offered up the owner to fix my hair, I agreed. But when I got there, I was once again given Chantel and her «fix» was to cover up all my highlights with dark hair color. So basically it was a complete waste of all the money I had spent over the year putting all those highlights in. I was left with dark hair on top and yellow hair on the bottom. $ 400 later, and after going to three other salons, my hair is fixed, no thanks to SalonB or Chantel. I definitely do NOT recommend her or that salon. If you want beautiful hair do not go there!!! Beware!!!

Salon B is the best hair salon in Sacramento. Scot Clark is on par with high end LA salons like Sally Hershberger. I got a pixie cut done at Sally Hershberger in LA and Scot is the only person who could keep it stylish here in Sacramento. He even gave me a classy mohawk. Instead of the razor work they use in LA, Scot uses precise cuts that grow out cleaner. Instead of shaving the side of my head for the mohawk, he took a long time and hand trimmed everything giving a soft, classy look that felt amazing. Scot also is really good at considering your head shape to make your cut compliment you personally. He never blindly applies a look I show him from a magazine. With my pixie/​mohawk he always kept in mind growing it out in the future so I never went through any awkward phases.
The staff are really nice. They offer you a drink and a scalp massage before your cut. The rest of the stylists are very talented because Scot puts them through a vigorous educational program before giving them a chair of their own.
If you have a short do, you can have a free touch up between cuts.
See for yourself– websites for other salons show pictures of the chairs and mirrors and waiting couches, but the Salon B website shows actual haircuts Scot has done and is capable of.

P1 has done it again. I’m always happy with the results! He’s not a magician but a careful listener who tries to bring out the beauty from within. Thank you to Emiko who always share care and concern to my needs. The staff and owners are friendly too!

I did say you have an awesome team. Its true. And on the other hand you are not good at all, you handled the situation the most terrible way possible. And yes they did lie. I’m not some ignorant person to post fake reviews. I tell how it is. I was NEVER told to put on a robe. I walked in through the door. Megan introduces herself to me and tells me where to sit, we talked about what we were doing and SHE PUT ON a regular body cover and took me to wash my hair and from there on out she blew dried my hair and then started coloring my hair, I only other thing I had on was a towel around my neck pinned with a clip, even then it wasn’t on good she kept pulling it down. Ya I’m not deaf so i definitely WOULD have heard if she told me to put on the robe thing. No body talked to be there Except Megan, and I said Hi to Susan. So stop making up the story that there were 2 people that told me cause I was quiet and didn’t talk to anyone.
And how professional are you calling a client an extortionist.
extortionist means: someone obtaining (something) by force, threats, or other unfair means.
Very nice definition of me. Thanks

I have been going to Greg for more than 1 year because my really good friend recommended him. I’m so glad I made the change and plan to continue my journey with my hair guy at his new stop «Salon B». For those of you that have not heard of Salon B what are you waiting for go check them out! Ask for Greg, you won’t be disappointed. Not to mention Jenna his assistant who is also amazing, they make a perfect team! Thanks Greg and Jenna, you the Best!

I got my haircut and colored at Salon B by Megan! And she did such a great job! I got a shoulder length bob haircut that turned out just the way I wanted it! I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she did a great job at recreating it. I also got a caramel colored ombré that is just perfect! I highly recommend this place. She gave me a complimentary drink and a hand and arm massage too! The environment is friendly and professional!
I’ll definitely be back!!!

I bought a silent auction item back in February and there was a gift card for $ 50 toward a haircut and color. Well when I called the number, Ameko told me that the salon was closed. She said I’d be able to use it at Salon B since many of them went to Salon B.
I was across town running late so I called to let them know. When I arrived, Megan gave me a great greeting. I showed her a picture of my previous color and she accommodated. Since I was half an hour late, Megan and one of the assistants both ended up coloring each side of my head. Talk about team work to make up time lost since there was an appointment after me. I was so grateful for that. I She was very sweet. I asked if she could take a picture of my hair since I do that after each hair apptointment. I am happy with my new color and cut. Love that they give you hand and arm massages while you wait for the color to set it!
I really like the mirrors on the walls! I couldn’t believe how big the place is and how many stations there are! The owner was right next to us doing someone’s hair. I told her kudos on the look of the place!
The only reason I gave 4 stars is that you have to use the stairs and my knees weren’t too thrilled since I’m on a cane. They told me there was an elevator but it was all the way in the middle. For me that makes no sense to go all the way to the middle and to use the elevator when the salon is up the stairs right from the parking lot. Too bad it’s not downstairs, however the service was great!!! Thanks Megan!

My friend recommended Susie at Salon b for an «edgy» haircut. And she was right!
I had some less than adequate experiences elsewhere and was hoping to fix my uneven, heavy, floppy, short cut into a hot, edgy cut. Susie did exactly that. She listened to all of my hopes and helped me decide on my final cut. My hair is so light and happy now!
The salon is clean, and the front desk attendants were smiley and professional.
I also loved that they have a rewards program. You can get dollars off your next haircut for writing a review, referrals, and booking your next appointment before you leave. AND if you need a complementary «touch up» between appointments, just show up and ask. No appointment necessary. They will just squeeze you in.
I’ll definitely be back to see Susie.

You need to go to this place. Simple as that.
I saw a gal named Susie, and to be honest, she is my ‘hair salon soul mate!‘
She took my long, unhappy, brassy, rats-​nest of a head of hair and turned it into a fun, short, natural chocolate brown easy to manage masterpiece! I was so happy!
The most affordable, greatest looking hair cut and color I have ever had. The service was great and it was just the right amount of time. I will never go to a beuaty school again!
The only trick is finding the place, but after the first time, you will always know.
I live in WALNUT CREEK, CA… and I WILL BE BACK TO SE SUSIE!

Going to Salon b is a lovely experience. Usually, getting a haircut is awkward and stressful, but Salon b makes it pleasant and comfortable. It’s a classy place that knows how to handle hair.
Nicole, the girl who cut and colored my hair, knew exactly what she was doing, and she set me at ease. She completely understood what I wanted; communicating my hair vision was fun and productive, instead of frustrating and worrisome.
While working with my hair, Nicole was precise and gentle. She has excellent customer service skills and proactively helped me with a couple issues. We talked a little, and she was pleasant and friendly; but she’s not overly chatty, which was a great relief. For most of the time, I just relaxed and zoned out in a pretty atmosphere full of delicious, relaxing smells.
My hair color turned out absolutely gorgeous. Even better than I had pictured. This was the first time I’d ever had my hair dyed, and I just wanted to do it once for fun. But I think Nicole has converted me into a regular. The color is similar to my natural dark brown (I didn’t want any bleaching), but it’s infinitely richer and healthier and deeper, with a sexy auburn sheen. It looks both modern and natural. Love love love.
Everyone who works at Salon b goes through extensive training, which I find comforting. Our easy communication also put me at ease. I didn’t feel on edge the whole time, wondering if she knew what I meant and how to tailor it for my hair type and face shape. She explained a couple things along the way, and I felt like she really knew what she was doing.
The cut wasn’t quite right at first; but when I explained, and she understood the problem and knew how to fix it. I think I caused the problem, but Nicole was super nice about it. Within a minute, I could see the problematic detail disappearing and the perfect shape coming into being under her capable hands. I kept asking for a little more of whatever she was doing, and she kept doing it cheerfully and effectively. After this change, I was terrifically pleased with my hair.
I also enjoyed Salon b’s little luxurious touches, like the complimentary tea and coffee, and the ridiculously delightful hand, arm, shoulder, neck, and scalp massages accompanied by essential oils and soft lotions. The atmosphere is pleasant; it looks upscale and it’s on the second floor so you have a bit of a view. The music is enjoyable (on a broad range from Simon & Garfunkel to pretty piano music to Celo Green). Every person I dealt with was pleasant and professional.
