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.

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.

Elaine ShanWow! 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!
Jeniece WnorowskiBehnaz is great! I am picky with my hair and have tried numerous stylists in the Sacramento Area and she is the best!

Karsten DanielsI 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!

Olga GonzalezBehnaz 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.
Mark OhanesianFantastic pixie, precision haircut!! I constantly get comments on how great my hair looks.
Karen WillcutBehnaz 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.
