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 am so grateful that I found her!

Lis TestaI 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!
Alba BoyerWow! 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!
