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 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!

    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 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!!

    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 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!

    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 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!

    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!

    After moving here, I had to find a new hairdresser. Very scary project. Of course I had a couple of disasters, lol. But then I found Behnaz. She is a keeper! She listens, and everytime I got the cut I wanted. Her coloring is excellent too.

  • Behnaz is an artist. She took me from a long, overgrown, and outdated cut to a cute, modern, and easy to maintain style. She takes the time to customize my cut to suit my hair type, face, and life style. I receive many compliments on my haircuts, even from other stylists. Behnaz is very professional yet down to earth and easy to talk to. You will be in good hands with Behnaz!

    Behnaz is amazing with hair. She gives expert cuts that are stylish and easy to maintain. My hair is cut so well that it looks great even when I don’t style it. Behnaz is warm, friendly and really cares about what she does. She takes the time to listen then works her magic with great results. She has training, including Vidal Sassoon, and experience that set her apart from other stylists.

  • 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 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.
