My passion in the beauty industry started at age 5 when I realized that I loved to play with my dolls’ hair. After not being satisfied with the dolls’ hairstyle, I decided to cut it and style it to my own liking. After not having any more dolls to give “makeovers”, my next clients were my 2 sisters. I gave them a new hairstyle every day from my own imagination. Not only did I give my sisters new hairstyles, but also designed and made clothes for them to compliment their new look. After receiving my university degree in Child Psychology and working in the field for many years, I realized that my true passion was in the creative arts, specifically cosmetology. By working in the beauty industry for over 20 years, I have developed many great relationships with industry professionals and most importantly, wonderful clients who give me the satisfaction to come to work each day. Salon Bravissimo’s management and staff, along with the fantastic, professional, and artistic work environment, inspire me to be more creative and passionate for my art.

I met Behnaz by chance and I got lucky. She is a master stylist. She knows what looks good and I always feel beautiful afterwards. I am happy I found her!
My hair has always been complicated but Behnaz gave it a great cut that lasts!
I have been coming to Behnaz for several months now. I had struggled finding somebody really good and coming to Behnaz she is amazing. I'm so glad I found her. She has chosen a great cut for my hair and face shape. The color is beautiful.
I love my hair highlights by Behnaz she did an amazing job and was diligent about giving me the results I wanted thank you for finally giving me the place to get all my hair needs I have been searching for a long time
I love my haircut very much! I have searched and searched for the right person that can cut my curly hair in such a way that gives it movement, compliments my face, and gives my curls new life. I've finally found her and I am very happy!
Behnaz was very professional and mannered, I love the haircut she did a great job. Thank you..
Behnaz styled my hair for years…. Then I moved away. I came back to sacramento for a week and did not want to miss a hair cut and visit with her! She’s the best! Very precise and gifted! Also, she has great personal style❤️
I love getting my hair done by Behnaz. Very knowledgeable, she recommended a new style I’ve never tried and I have gotten so many compliments! Will definitely be coming back for as long as possible.
Do it! Book with Behnaz. She is a pro - shaping and color that fits the updated look I am after. The shape holds well between appointments.
Behnaz is amazing! The worst thing about moving is finding a new stylist to trust with my hair, but I’m so glad I found Behnaz last year. She always works wonders with my hair; and I walk out feeling so beautiful
Wonderful color and cut, super personal- highly recommend!
Behnaz is a genius. She always gives me a smart hair cut, and makes me look great. If you are a South Asian woman looking for someone who knows what to do then Behnaz is the one to go to!
Behnaz is the best. I am coming back to Behnaz after several years. She is talented and my hair has never looked better then when she does it. Her haircuts are done with precision, and she is a master of color and a master hair stylist. I am so glad to be back. I highly recommend her. I love my hair thanks to Behnaz!
Behnaz is absolutely incredible! After trying (and failing) to color my own hair during the Covid lockdown, she saved me. I went in with no idea what I wanted to do with my mess of hair and left happier than I anticipated. I've had 3 appointments so far and plan on continuing to book with Behnaz.
Behnaz is a true master! I love my curly hair, but it is always hard to menage and style. In my new town, I could not find a person who can style and cut my hair well until I met with Behnaz. Behnaz knows what is best for your face shape and your lifestyle, she makes very helpful suggestions. I always get amazing cuts from her. She is very caring and makes you feel like family. I am so grateful that I found her!
Behnaz is the only stylist I feel comfortable cutting my curly hair! She always listens to what I want and gives realistic expectations of what is best for my hair health and texture. The salon is extremely clean and I always leave my service feeling fabulous!
Behnaz is a true expert and professional at cutting hair. I really wanted to find someone who knew how to work with my type of curly thick hair, after getting short clipper cuts at random places over the years and finally being ready to work with my hair instead of against it. She is meticulous, attentive, and has the technique to consult, cut, and send you home with the right products and routine. I’m 100% satisfied with the way my hair looks and get great feedback from others too.
I’ve been coming to Behnaz for haircut and color. Wonderful experience and she always does a great job. Knows exactly what works for my hair.
Behnaz is a true artistic genius! My haircut is always perfect and beautiful. Also, she is able to cut my hair in a way that it grows out well and only needs minimal styling to still look great! This is so important for an entrepreneurial mother of three teenagers. To top it off, Behnaz is a pleasure to be around. Thanks so much for my last beautiful cut, Behnaz!
Behnaz is a true artist. I needed a change from my tired, dry, frizzy gray look. She masterfully created my sassy, fresh look. I’ve received many compliments from family, friends and strangers alike. Thank you Behnaz!!
Behnaz is the best! It is so difficult to find someone who can cut women’s short hair - Behnaz is a gem!!! She handled my fine straight thick hair, with cowlicks and all, like a master. Absolutely love my new cut!
Behnaz is the best! Not only are her hair skills unmatched, but she is so kind, patient, and professional. Behnaz takes her time to understand what one needs and will never disappoint! I am so happy I found her!
She is amazing! Colors my blonde hair perfectly!
I really enjoy Behnaz, she did a great job with my precision haircut and color.
Benhaz did a spectacular job on my long bob. I’m growing out damage from another stylist and she gave me advice on different approaches I can take to get the long bob of my dreams. I already booked my next appointment!
I have wavy/ curly hair and was really nervous to find someone new in the Sacramento area. Behnaz has been great. She knows how to work with my hair, and is willing to get creative with it which I LOVE. She always puts me first and takes the time to make sure I love the end result. So happy I found her!!
Wow! I have been getting my hair done by high end salons for years and I can’t believe I found someone in Northern California. Behnaz is truly amazing. Her ability to cut and color is like no other. You can tell from start to finish she has mastered her craft. You will not get a run of the mill cut. You can even tell by her technique during the cut that she stands out from the rest. I would highly recommend her!
Behnaz is friendly, compassionate, a good listener, and a talented hair cutter. Today was my first time beneath her shears and from a bedraggled ragamuffin I emerged a chi chi cosmopolitan professional with a look of polish and pizazz.
I was very tentative as my previous experiences with getting my hair done in the US had not been very good so far! I had gotten tot he point that I would wait 6 months until I could go back home to Italy and get my hair done there. Behnaz made me feel very comfortable and I immediately knew I was in the hands of a true professional. She listened very attentively to what I had in mind and recommended the best haircut for my lifestyle. I was very pleased with my final results. I am definitely going back again! Thank you Behnaz!
Great experience she did an amazing job!! My haircut was perfect!
