    Hair by Behnaz, Best Salon Sacramento! Highly recommend! I've been coming to her for a few years now, and I am always thrilled with the results. She is incredibly talented, uses precision haircut, she's done training with Vidal Sassoon, she's consistent, and genuinely cares about her clients.

  • 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!

    Behnaz is the best hair stylist I’ve had - thanks to her, I get so many compliments on my hair! She is Sassoon-trained and is a master of the precision cut. Behnaz gave me the most perfect precision bob, which is one of the hardest cuts to do. She knew the length that would look best on me, and was able to make my super-fine, straight and thinning hair look its best, and thicker. Because she does a precise cut, it grows out beautifully as well. In addition to being an excellent stylist, she is such a kind, lovely person. I had been looking for years for an expert stylist that could cut a perfect bob on my fine, thin hair - and I’m so happy I found Behnaz - she is the best!

    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 had a wonderful experience with Hair by Behnaz. She listened to every detail, including keeping my length, long layers, off Center part and creating more fullness on top. For years, I didn’t go to a salon because my hair was always cut too short. I finally found a hairstylist who listens and she did an amazing job. I feel ten years younger. Thank you Behnaz Sacramento Hairstylist!

    Definitely run don’t walk into the loving and extremely talented arms of actual artist, Behnaz at the salon Bravissimo. Her skills, expertise, and experience are unmatched in the Sacramento area. I am so truly grateful to have found her here after much research and experience in several cities, including NYC and L.A. where I have been fortunate in who I located I had returned to this area and found mediocre results with someone downtown who wasn’t worth it the time and money. After receiving an actual butchering in reverse, I desperately needed a correction and found that straight away with Behnaz. Going again from longer thicker hair to a very short pixie type cut is not something everyone can pull off, both customer and stylist, as it has to be **JUST RIGHT.** and it is exactly that with Behnaz. Also, she truly hears from you what you want and gives very realistic and helpful feedback and she is the one that can get you there with the shape, texture, weight and flexibility of the style, which will be cut in a way that enables it to grow out to be seamless as well. Color skills are also out of this world and worth every penny, every time. Go see her, don’t wait!!

    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.

    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 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.

    Having recently moved to Sacramento and having met her in a memorable drop-in visit a year earlier, I can’t believe that I found the best hairstylist in Sacramento! The precision cuts and color perfection that Behnaz delivers, combined with her kind and caring personality, I couldn’t ask for a better stylist to trust with my hair 🥰

  • Hair by Behnaz is hands down the best salon in Sacramento. I needed a precision haircut and color correction, and she absolutely nailed it. The color was blended beautifully, and the cut fixed everything I was unhappy with. My hair looks so much healthier now, and it actually has style! I get compliments on it all the time. Behnaz is Vidal Sassoon trained and it shows. She was professional, attentive, and clearly very skilled. This was such a great experience—I’ll definitely be coming back!

  • I’ve been going to her since I was little, and even now that I live in a different state, I still come back just to have my hair done by her—and that says everything. She is incredibly talented, precise, and consistent. Every time I leave her chair, my hair looks and feels amazing. She truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work, and it shows in every detail. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair.
