Behnaz is a Vidal Sassoon–trained master stylist who has been cutting hair for 39 years, since 1987. Every haircut is designed around your face shape, your hair’s texture and the way it naturally falls, so it looks polished the day you leave the salon and stays easy to style at home.
She is best known for short hair and precision cuts: sleek bobs, graduated and asymmetric bobs, pixie cuts and crops. Her Google reviews most often mention her Vidal Sassoon training, her precision cutting and her bobs. She also cuts long layers, curly hair and men’s hair with the same attention to detail.
The Vidal Sassoon approach treats a haircut as a design. Hair is cut in clean, controlled sections at precise angles, so the shape is built into the cut itself rather than created with styling products. The result moves naturally, grows out evenly and falls back into place with minimal effort. Read the full guide to precision haircuts and the Sassoon method.
The bob is Behnaz’s signature. From a blunt one-length bob to a graduated, stacked or asymmetric bob, or a chin-length bob with short micro bangs, each is tailored to your jawline, neck and hair density. Fine hair looks fuller with a strong baseline, while thick hair is balanced by removing weight from the inside so the shape sits smoothly. Thinking about a bob?

A great pixie is all about proportion: the right length on top, clean lines around the ears and a neat, tapered nape. Behnaz cuts pixies and crops that frame the face, from soft and textured to sharp and tailored, and can pair them with bold color for a statement look. Growing a short cut out? She can shape each stage so it always looks intentional. Thinking about going short? Read Is a Pixie Cut Right for You? And if you’re growing one out, see how to grow out a pixie or bob.
Behnaz has long specialized in cutting Asian hair, including Korean, Japanese and Chinese hair. Asian hair is often straight, strong and dense, and it can stand up or flip out when it’s cut short. Precision cutting, careful weight removal and the right texturizing techniques help it lie smoothly, move naturally and hold the shape of a bob, pixie or layered cut.

Curls shrink and spring up as they dry, so curly hair needs a cut that respects the curl pattern. Behnaz shapes curly and wavy hair to keep the silhouette balanced, reduce bulk in the right places and let each curl sit where it should. See how Behnaz approaches every hair type.
For longer hair, face-framing layers add movement and shape without sacrificing length. See Long Layered Haircuts in Sacramento for the types of layers and what to expect. Men’s cuts, from classic side parts to textured crops with tapered sides, receive the same precision.
Every haircut starts with a free consultation about your hair history, your routine and the look you want. Behnaz finishes with a style and tips for recreating it at home. Many clients pair a cut with highlights or balayage.
A precision cut uses the Vidal Sassoon method of cutting hair in clean, controlled sections at exact angles, so the shape is built into the haircut. It falls into place naturally and grows out evenly.
Short, precise shapes lose their line quickly, so most bobs and pixies look best with a trim every 4 to 8 weeks. Longer hair can usually go 8 to 12 weeks.
