Since I have lost a lot of hair from washing, blow drying and styling almost everyday I'm being careful with my hair now and especially when it comes to choosing the right hair salon. I came to Bernaes and the first thing they did was to have Avanie deep condition my hair to make it look healthy and alive again. Then she blow dried my hair with a round brush (this is the best part guys, I literally feel like 'big hair don't care'). After that, Maurice trimmed all the dead ends and added more layers. Now my hair looks so healthy and shiny and silky. When I went to the mall after, I got so many compliments and even my fiance said, 'this is the way I want your hair to be but nobody else could do it before'. The curls stayed the same till the end of the day and even when I woke up the next day I didn't have to style it. You gotta check out Bernaes! If they can help me they can help you! read more

Bernaes - A Stellar Artist at work - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

They do wonderful hair, but when I called, I was quoted $75 for a wash, trim and flat iron. My normal stylist at another salon was busy so I decided to come here since they did a beautiful job on my wedding hair. Anyway, I was asked if I wanted a deep condition. I said no. Not this time. I get all done, get ready to pay... $125. They decided to not listen to the customer and go ahead and do the deep condition anyway. I went ahead and paid, but I don't know that I'll be back. When a customer tells you what they want, you do that. Nothing more. Nothing less. That's highly unprofessional. Otherwise I would have given you a 5 star review. Do better. read more

This was the absolute worse experience I've ever had! I just recently visited Bia salon in midtown Sacramento for color and trim. I was there for 11.5 hours! I asked for a light brown sandy color with caramel tones and blonde highlights. I even provided a picture. I had 4 stylists including the owner working on my hair. They bleached and striped my hair completely, damaged my hair after I made it very clear that my hair was very healthy and it took 3 years to nurture my hair back to health from previous damage. I overly expressed the importance and my concern of maintaining my natural curl pattern. They died my hair multiple times and the end result was bright orange hair aka a bad bleach job. They charged me $190 to make me look like a clown! I had an upcoming conference for work and needed my color corrected asap! The stylist did not return my call and the owner has yet to return my call. I had to find another salon on a Sunday to correct my color and ended up spending $590 on my hair in a weekend for results that are still not what I asked for to begin with. And the stylist that corrected my color almost didn't touch my hair because I had quarter size burns all over my entire scalp! I will never set foot in that salon again and I highly recommend you don't as well. Not even a star from me. Sorry but not sorry, that was the absolute worse experience I've ever had! And my hair is damaged all over again. Thank you Bia salon. read more

I got approached to come try them out via a yelp invite and I am really pleased with the results. I had been slowly working toward a pixie cut for years. I've had medium to long hair my entire life, but I always wanted to commit to short hair and was just too afraid to really go through with it. So, long story short, Bernaes did an amazing job and really respected what an obstacle the cut was for me. I was told my stylist normally specialized in color (which I've got an appointment for in about a week), but she was also really comfortable giving me the cut I wanted. I brought in a picture of what I wanted. She glanced at it and then managed to mirror it perfectly. Now that's a seriously good memory. But even beyond the style, the thing that really made the difference for me was how engaged my stylist was with me. She knew I was nervous about going short and she talked me through it the entire time. We cracked a lot of jokes and by the time I spun around to see my new look all my anxiety was gone. So, she aced the consultation and the cut. I get non-stop compliments on the new style and am so happy to have found a new salon I can really trust in Sacramento. read more

BIA Salon is my first choice for hair care when I'm in the Sacramento area!!! Owners Maurice and Carnette Burnett are top notch professionals who combine their 20+ years of experience and flair for cutting-edge style to provide a salon experience that is one of a kind!

BIA excels at knowing how to accurately assess the hair needs of each client and offering options to suit their preferences and lifestyle. I also appreciate the warm and friendly atmosphere that I encounter every time I visit. The staff at BIA are upbeat, professional, and go out of their way to make sure clients walk out the door 110% satisfied on all fronts!

This is definitely long overdue, but I came in her 4 weeks ago needing a new hair cut and one that wasn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. I did some Yelp searching and found Bernaes. I emailed them on a whim with no idea of who would be my stylist. I was blessed to get Alicia who took EXTREMELY good care of my hair and knew EXACTLY what I was looking for! I haven't felt this good or confident about a hair cut IN SO LONG! My hair is healthier and growing EXTREMELY fast thanks to her! She was patient and so so sweet. I wouldn't let another person touch my hair besides Alicia! read more

Bernaes - Front and side view of my hair! - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Omg I have been going to this and the owner's Maurice and Carnette's version of this salon since it was in Citrus Heights! Naturally I chose them to do my hair for my wedding. Unfortunately I will never return to their salon and I will do everything I can to let everyone know how crappy they made me feel on my special day! I walked in on Sat August 8 for a style, no shampoo blowdry, just a style. A young girl said she was going to get me started, she tried to take me back to the shampoo bowls when I informed her I was just their for a style. She gave a me a wierd look and asked if that's what I usually do when I came in, I said no, but does it matter? If the "Bride" tank I was wearing wasn't enough to let her know I was getting married, I let her know what I was looking for. She then proceeded to demean the hair choice I wanted, and after the barrage of neck snapping and really rude comments like, "...If that's how your husband wants to see you then fine I'll do it..." I decided I had enough and got out of the chair and left. Carnette one of the owners was in the reception chair and did nothing to try to relieve my stress or the dilemma that her stylist created. I will never give them my business again, it's a shame because being a woman of color it is difficult to find a good stylist! read more

I love this place. They are professional and attentive to my needs. Alisha did my hair and she is frindly and made me feel very comfortable. I have found my Salon. Thank you Jesus! She knows how to do everything. She can color, braid, sew ins, care for natural hair, blowots. She also tells me how to care for my hair away from the shop. I really love this place. read more

So I can't remove my previous review, but I will update. After my previous experience they were quick to respond to my problems and offer a solution Bernaes is still my go to hair salon. I tried another salon and have to admit the grass was not greener on the other side. Looking forward to my next visit before my first international vacation. read more

I started going to the BIA salon and October 2011. I was referred to Ashlea by my niece whom Ashlea had did a color, cut, and a relaxer SO well I was totally impressed. At the time I was doing my own relaxers at home (big mistake) so when I saw Ashlea she gave me a full assessment of my hair and told me how overprocessed it was. I knew it was over-processed because no matter what I did to my hair, it was always dry. She totally rehab my hair. It took several months lots of protein treatments and deep conditioning and regular trims but she got my hair together. In September 2012, I decided to go the natural route and cut off all my hair. I have really thick hair that tends to grow pretty fast and Ashlea is able to deal with it. Unless I want braids or weave; I have not nor do I plan on going to another stylist. Ashlea is not just a hairstylist that can get your hair whipped but she specializes in hair care. She will educate you what is going on with your hair and suggest what you should do. Also important to note, I live in the East Bay Area. I have to drive over an hour to get to the salon and pay $5 to cross the bridge. But I believe once you find something good, just stick to it. In my opinion, it is worth the drive. I have referred friends and my sisters to Ashlea, I wouldn't do that if I didn't believe in her work or this salon. Also some other things you may want to know is: they have parking for their customers on the side and depending on the time of the day, there maybe parking on the street. They have a website if you're curious about what services they offer and the price. The salon is near some food places just in case you need a bite to eat. They take credit/debit cards. read more

Kelly is amazing. She knows how to do everything. If you are looking for great styles and great knowledge ask for Kelly. I will definitely be back!!!! read more

I've had my hair done by Carnette and I was very pleased! She took care to style my hair exactly the way I wanted it. The salon atmosphere is fun, without being over the top as some salons can be. I like that the stylists there are cutting edge and at the top of their game. I will definitely return to BIA Salon! read more

This was my first time at this Salon. I wanted to have my locs colored and a friend recommend Yvonne. She was wonderful.First off, she was ready when I arrived and took me right back. She did a consult first and explained all the different options. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I let her do what she thought would work best. While she colored she explain what she was using a why and always made sure I was comfortable. The other stylists I encountered where also friendly and helpful. I am SO happy with the results. My locs came out gorgeous. I will 100% come back to Yvonne again! read more

Been here a few times. I have natural hair --very very kinky, thick, and hard to tame... but I hate going to shops because I fear the loud kids, long ass wait, charge of arm and a leg...BIA was reasonably priced (I got a wash, deep conditioner, straighten, trimmed for $65!) and wait was not unbearable, atmosphere was coo. read more

I went to this salon a couple of years ago and had a wonderful experience, so I was very disappointed this time. I went in for a wash, blow dry and flat-iron. I have very thick curly hair and was disappointed with the poor and half-hearted blow dry. Although my stylist Jimena (sp?) did not blow dry my hair, I raised the concern to her at which point she became very defensive and began arguing with me. She also seemed exasperated with my hair and did not seem to care when I flinched in pain while she was combing. At times she would stop to check her nails and took a smoke break while in the middle of styling my hair, which was very unprofessional. If I EVER return, I will make sure not to book an appointment with her. read more

I have been going to Prashante and I referred 4 people so far. I wish I knew she was here a long time ago. She is very nice and I like how she trimmed my hair. I always say hair stylists are scissor happy, but she isn't! I have natural hair and I want it to grow out so I'm pleased with all the styles she has done on me. I trust her very much:) read more

I have really tried to like this salon. Each time I've visited this salon transparency around price and services have been an issue. The first time I was quoted a price and paid more than twice as much. Later I thought that was cleared up but the last time I visited, I was told that washing my hair was a la carte fee when that was not the case for the first visit, where I was charged for conditioning my hair but was not informed that it was a deep conditioner, thus extra. So I was charged to wash the hair color out of my hair? Maybe I'm old school but I thought BASIC washing and conditioning a client's hairs was a part of the salon owner's overhead. It's almost like buying something and being charged for the credit card machine transaction fee. Lastly, my hair was packed full of oils that resulted in my pillow cases being badly stained and for 2 days the back of my leather chair in my living room and even the chair at the nail salon had large oil spots from the head. I'm not sure if I will return, because I really like the spirit and customer service at this establishment. But I need to get to where I really love my hair as walk out of the door. Unfortunately, that has not happened. I will remain hopeful that I can patronize this salon again. read more

Guys don't typically have a salon preference, but I can honestly say BIA Salon is not only the place for my wife but for me too. Not every salon establishment can cater to both men and women effectively, but BIA does just that. I'm a lifetime customer. read more

I have been taking my 5 year old daughter who is mixed to BIA for about a year now. We see Alicia who is nothing short of amazing. My daughter has hair that is not just a mix of textures, but is so thick she could share it with 3 other kids! I am a Caucasian mom and I just don't posess the knowledge or talent to handle her beautiful hair. I am so happy I found this place, there is nothing Alicia can't do and she is so good with dealing with my daughter's squirming and complaining. She has taken her hair to a whole other level. It is healthy and always beautifully styled. She can do ANYTHING we ask her to do. We are regulars now, every 3 weeks. I am so pleased I don't mind driving downtown from Folsom. Sometimes we have to wait a little but that's just how it goes. I get fantastic service and she knows exactly how to care for my daughter's hair. This is one happy and relieved momma!! read more

I'm not one to do one of these, but I must say, I'm highly disappointed in the customer service and quality of care they gave to me. my hair had been free of chemicals for 4 years before I had returned to my childhood salon. I came in to have my hair permanently curled. Bernas was the only salon who I in trusted my hair with.. 1st mistake they put me in the hands of a woman who has never did that hair process before. But because she was under the supervision of Maurice, I trusted her because I trusted him. They test strand my hair to see how my hair world react. My hair passed with flying colors. I came back at a later date to get the treatment done.. during the process I felt like the styles did not spend enough time neutralizing the opposite side of my head from which she was standing away from.. (neutralizing is the most important part of a chemical process. It keeps from the chemicals burning your hair out)..I reminded her multiple times to me sure she gets the other side of my head. And she continued to a sure me that she had it covered. anyway.. when it was all said in done it looked good for about a week.. then my hair began for fall out in clusters.. clusters the span of hair from root to tip... so much hair was falling out of my head that when I showered the drain of my shower clogged. I called them immediately and told them my concerns..I scheduled for the next available bringing bags at a time of hair to show how much fall out had been occurring. they looked at my hair deep-conditioned it washed it and told me they didn't know what I was talking about, that none of my hair was falling out.. 2 days later my hair was literally coming out in my hands so I went back to them with another bag of hair in hand. I bought the products that they use to wash and condition my hair thinking that the product I was using was causing my hair to fall out.. nothing was working. I called and demanded to speak to Maurice about my hair. He told me to come in as soon as I could so he could see what was going on because I told him that I was Finding bald spots in my hair.. when I made it to the salon and he took a look through my hair, he laughed and said that he thought I was describing the hair fall out as alopecia.. 4 months had gone by and my hair was still falling out. out in clusters from the begining of my roots. Out of those four months, they gave me 4 free hair wash and conditioning treatments. After that, they started charging me to grow back my own hair that they burned out of my head.. I am still so heart broken that someone who I'd been going to since age 7 and am now 31would be so cruel and unprofessional. I referred ppl to them, I modeled for them and looked at them as extended family and this was how they did me.. to busy counting money lost instead of taking care of their long time customer. I lost about 35% of my hair from the root., I can only wear my hair in certain hairstyles so you don't see the terrible hair breakage that they caused to my hair. My hair was so short to the point where I couldnt even braid it to put a weave in it, to grow it back. I will NEEEEEEVVVVEEEEERRRR SET FOOT BACK IN THEIR SALON. Nor will I help put more money in their pockets by referral. Admitting to their wrong doing is definitely not their strong point.. customer service upon their error is temporarily in their vocabulary.. if you worked hard to grow your own natural hair out and u treasure your hair, then I tell you today, save your money and go somewhere else cause if they mess your hair up, they will not assume fault and you will be paying for their error... read more
