About Behnaz

Get the to know the artist

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.

    Behnaz is very professional and takes her client’s hair seriously. I am new to town so I was definitely nervous going into my appointment, but Behnaz exceeded my expectations and even took care of my damaged hair from previous treatments. She also specializes in asian hair, highly recommend!

    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.

    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 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.

    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 Doctor in hair health, maintenance, and making hair look absolutely gorgeous. She took my overprocessed, uneven hair and has brought back my curls to an amazing place. I truly recommend her work as she is a true professional with tremendous knowledge.

    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!!

  • Behnaz is great! I am picky with my hair and have tried numerous stylists in the Sacramento Area and she is the best! She listens to your request and is amazing with colors and precision cuts. She was able to correct a disaster cut and color from another place when we met and I have been a fan ever since!

  • 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!

    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!

  • 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.

    By far Behnaz is the best hair stylist that I have been to!!! I was getting non stop compliments about my color, the cut and the way she shaped my hair. She is the only one that I will trust my hair too! Above that, she is a wonderful person - not only is she beautiful outside and equally beautiful inside. I highly recommend Behnaz for your next hair appointment!!!!

    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!
