Cultivation Salon is located in downtown Sacramento. Typically I cannot stand downtown parking, but street parking here, has always been a breeze. I'm usually able to easily find a spot within a one-block radius. The salon itself is a breath of fresh air, filled with natural light and beautiful propagated plants. I've been coming to Ashley Markwell for the last two years for all of my hair needs, and she never disappoints. She listens attentively to my hair inspo and takes the extra time and care to bring my vision to life. Seeing her always feels very therapeutic, making the experience even more enjoyable. Hair color and maintenance can be costly, but you get what you pay for. With Ashley, I always receive top notch service and quality. Highly recommend Ashley and this lovely salon! read more

I love Devonney so much! I've been getting my hair cut by her for over six years now. She is so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I hated getting my haircut before I came to her. She made me fall in love with my hair and I trust her to do what's best for hair and my curls have never looked better. read more

I've been going here for years to see Jennae. She is fantastic and always gets the color and cut just right.

I was in need of a major TLC for my hair and luckily Ashley Rayne was able to fit me in as a new client. My sister referred her and seeing her work firsthand with my sister's hair I knew I was in good hands. Wasn't looking for a major hair color treatment, just a simple cut and overall color as I mentioned low maintenance is what I was seeking. Ashley really took the time to listen as I explained to her what I wanted and absolutely honed in on keeping my look low maintenance as I'm a new mom (time is limited) and doing something that wasn't breaking my wallet each visit. She chopped off all my previously dyed hair then gave some options for color treatment. What we went with was using a dark toner since I wanted to stick with my natural hair color. The dark toner would target my old blond yet not do as much damage per se to my virgin hair. That way if I decided to get some highlights or balayage in the near future the dark overall color wouldn't require as much time & money for me. Uhhh, yeah. Sign me up to look good while saving!!! From start to finish I had a very pleasant first time experience with Ashley. I've had a handful of hairstylists work with my hair but I felt she really listened to me with trying to achieve my hair goals. It's one thing to listen and do as your client asks yet giving your best advice or opinion based on your expertise is extremely helpful for us clients! I will be back! :) read more

I have had the pleasure of being Jennae's client for nearly 10 years, and I can't say enough good things about her and my experience at Cultivation! From the moment I met Jennae, and particularly following her transition to Cultivation, I have felt welcomed and at ease. The other stylists and the environment at Cultivation are inviting and warm, and Jennae consistently takes the time to listen to my ideas and preferences, showing genuine interest in what I'm looking for. I change my hair a lot, so this is an essential need for me! When it comes to color, Jennae is a magician! She has an incredible eye for what works with my skin tone and style. After discussing my goals, she makes thoughtful suggestions that are aligned with my vision every time. I am so impressed from appointment to appointment by her knowledge and how she skillfully blends shades to create a look that is fresh and uniquely flattering for me. What truly sets Jennae apart is her dedication to getting to know her clients. At all of my appointments, she regularly checks in, making sure I'm comfortable with every step of the process. I appreciate that she approaches her work as a collaboration rather than just a service. She always takes the time to explain what she is doing and why, which makes me feel involved and valued. The end result is inevitably what I hope for, and even as my cut and color grow out, they somehow manage to look fresh!. If you're looking for a hairdresser who excels in color, listens attentively, and works closely with you to achieve the perfect look, I highly recommend Jennae and Cultivation. read more

Victoria is absolutely amazing at cuts and color. I have long thick curly hair and she does the best with my hair. The cut grows out beautifully. Plus, she's so sweet and fun! 10 out of 10! Highly recommend! read more

Well, shucks. I tried Cultivation for the first time. I ended up with choppy, DIY-looking bangs that give toddler with a pair of scissors haircut vibe. To be clear, that wasn't the style I was going for. I'm not sure if the stylist is inexperienced, was rushed, or didn't notice, but my bangs are all over the place in length (notice the big ol' chunk missing in the middle) and lack some much needed blending. The rest of my cut is just fine - I can live with it. I called the salon a couple days later and left a voicemail (during business hours) asking if I could come back to get just my bangs touched up/blended by another stylist because I was unhappy with the results, but didn't get a return phone call. read more

I rarely write reviews, but I must say... I've been following Ashley Rayne for years now. I'm so glad that I contacted her because she always manages to work beautifully with my stubborn hair. I also know several people that go to Ashley as well. All of us happily come from all different parts of the Bay Area to get our hair done by Ashley. She is the only one we trust our hair with. I've gone to many different hair stylists from Concord, to Vallejo, to SJ and Ashley has by far been the BEST. Ashley focuses on giving you gorgeous looks while also reinforcing the integrity of your hair.. leaving you a BOMB/healthy look. I also love coming to Ashley because she is a great time to chat with. If you are looking for a TALENTED & personable stylist.. Ashley Rayne is your gal (: Cultivation salon is also so relaxing and aesthetically on point. As far as COVID precautions, this salon is super salitary and I definitely feel safe and taken cafe of. All stations, including the stylists' chairs and washing stations are sanitized after each use. At the washing stations there are even dividers between each station which I very much appreciate. Coming to Cultivation Salon for Ashley always meets my self-care needs. Here are some sneak peaks of the work has she's done on me. Can't wait to continue seeing Ashley and see what she comes up with next. read more

* This review is for Jen B * To look @ my hair it's not a work of art, or an exotic canvass of bright colors. . . . Jen said something at my latest appt and it's downright hilarious, "Julie always wants to be the ashiest of ash ash cool tones" ....... she's damn right. For anyone that wants a lighter blonde tone shade, it's understood. For me, "Ash" represents lightness; everything else is "warmth" and I personally am not a fan of the red, copper, warm tones. I'll attach some photos of the "before" which was very outgrown, faded box color, with a lot of copper tones. Next, Jen brought my hair to a very light fun blonde for the summer! Finally, last pic represents my current look with contrasting darker base + blonde balayage. -- I could go on and on about how great Jen is. She's gender fluid (neutral), non-judging, easy to talk to, has a Boston Terrier (like me!), affordable, has an EASY to use app for scheduling. -- Let's talk about scheduling!!!!! FOR ANYONE, that's ever visited Jimmy's garage in Midtown..... unless they've had a business lobotomy, their scheduling system was absolute Shh******* -- Also, a notch to the owner of Cultivation, I love the "look" of the salon. It's got that open faced layout, with fresh plant decor, inviting vibes, casual but welcomed atmosphere. I don't gather an uppity pretentious vibe...... and it should be noted that I keep an eye out for those type of behaviors when reviewing biz'. -- Check my photos, read this long *bleep* review, but most importantly..... go schedule a consultation today for cut, color, fade, trim, or full on vintage up 'do! read more

This is my first time at the salon. I went to see Sumin for hair cut and color for my wedding. The shop is minimal. I love how simple it is. They have coffee and tea which is a huge plus!

I followed my long-time stylist Brittney here! I'd follow her basically anywhere, but I'm glad she chose Cultivation! The salon is modern and chic with tons of indoor plants. I also like the range of styling products they carry, including their focus on low waste and eco-conscious packaging. Also I have to say that the wash basins and chairs are phenomenal! No achy necks here. I can't say enough good things about my stylist, Brittney. She is always so pleasant and consistently delivers exactly what I want in color, cut, and style. She also helps me out with styling tips and product recommendations when I have questions. Absolutely love her! She's one of the reasons I continued getting my hair done as regularly as possible during COVID restrictions. read more

First time here. I booked with Sierra to get a haircut and showed her a picture of what I wanted and described it. Her hair was cut into a shag very similar to what I was asking for so I felt good going in that she understood what I wanted. She proceeded to cut, dry, and style my hair with a ton of product without checking in with me at all about the cut. After the fact my hair did not look anything like what I had asked for and I had to ask that she go back through and add more layers. She did so but still not to the extent of what I was asking for, at all, but I felt like I couldn't ask her to go back in and keep changing it when she never asked for my input during the cut. My hair ended up looking more like the "before" side of the reference picture I showed than the "after." read more

I love this salon, super clean and cute and I never have trouble finding a parking spot.

I followed my #1 Brittney here and I am so happy I did - she is stellar with my caramel kinda-wavy, kinda-curly hair and turns me into Ms. Congeniality! She is especially marvelous with blonde highlights/ombre if you're looking to get that sunkissed look year round. She's given me fab looks when my hair was chest-length, shoulder length, and a bob. She even did my wedding hair! (this review is about color/cut, though I'd 100000% recommend her for wedding party) She's super knowledgeable about any hair quirks I have going on and providing recommendations on how to get the look I'm going for (at the level of maintenance I give, which is none) Through our five years together, she's recommended a wide range of stellar products at various price points, expertly hidden bald spots for me (work stress), and even incorporated a chunk I'd accidentally cut off (don't ask) into a fresh cut. She is a magician I am thankful to have on my team. She's also super respectful of my time, which I cannot appreciate enough. She gives me time approximates (2:15hr for color, cut, style...sometimes I "rain check" style for later though) and STICKS TO THEM. I SOOO appreciate this. read more

Jennae has been my go to stylist for nearly a decade now. I always come out loving my hair. She focuses on not just doing a good job, but a perfect job. Great attention to detail and she listens.

Get a ballpark price for your hair service BEFORE you sit in the chair! This is totally my fault, but, I went to have my hair done by Thu at the cultivation salon. It was my first time and I wanted some highlights and lowlights and a cut/style. I will say that Thu is very friendly and personable and easy to talk to, but a bit slow. I was there from 9am to 2:30 pm. She did have another customer come in 3 hours in and worked on us both back and forth. When I went to pay, the price was 470.00! She said the color was 385 and the cut was 85.00. I was shocked to say the least. But, as I said earlier, my fault for not asking first. My hair looked good, but not $470 good! read more

Sierra was great, she was very kind and helped me with how I wanted my haircut. I got long layers and achieved exactly what I was going for.

First time at the salon and Sumin was the cruelest most unprofessional stylist I have ever had. I did speak to the receptionist after but she said the owner was with a client so I left feeling like I was just treated like I was less than human. I definitely wasn't treated like the other guests from the get go. I felt very rushed and brushed off. My clue that she truly didn't care was during shampooing. I asked her if she had any natural shampoos as I had been in a cancer healing for the past several years and was trying to stay away from too many chemicals. She said coldly they all had chemicals and started washing without further discussion. There weee two brands she said they used and I asked which one she used, and she said the brand name, not giving any indication of care or to even check if one was less chemical laden. I let it go. Then on discussing a hair style I originally wanted an a-line bob, shorter on the back and longer in the front as I'd had a great cut like that in the past. When she put her hand in the back to show the length, I asked if there would be an a line silhouette because it seemed like almost the length in the front. She said yes but if I wanted to make it more drastic I couldn't tie it back. I asked her if she wouldn't mind showing me a picture of the two different styles just to be sure we were on the same page. She said I could look at her instagram and then looked at her watch like she was in a hurry, so I decided to just trust her with the bob she suggested which was less drastic. When she was done cutting there was no a-line at all, it looked the same length all the way around, like a simple cut from Supercuts or something. I told her I didn't really like it and this is when she got defensive and put it all on me and said she didn't know what I wanted instead of trying to fix it. I did say I asked for pictures and she didn't seem to want to show me. She kept saying it was me not communicating and when I tried to speak, she said, "can you let me speak in an angry demeaning tone"Then she said, "I think you should leave" and kicked me out with wet hair. Very unkind. No haircut is worth that treatment. The sad part is it was my first haircut in a very long time due to Covid and other health stuff and I didn't expect to be treated worse than a dog I did see all the other ladies smiling and with hot teas from their tea station. She never offered anything except blame for me being honest that I didn't like the cut. It was truly a sad experience for me, one that should have felt pampering read more

Just started going here last month but I have been seeing Ludi Duran Duran for years now! She is sooo talented! I used to drag being in the salon for hours, but ever since I started seeing her she makes the experience so easy, comfortable, and relaxing.

I will follow her until the ends of the earth for her to do my hair! read more

Love my new hair color, Ashley Rayne did such a good job, I'm so happy I got in to be a new client. If I could give her 10 stars I would. She helped me understand what color I might be able to achieve after all the years of box dying my hair black. I haven't used much black hair dye on too much more than my roots of my hair for the past year and was surprised at how good my hair lifted to a lighter color. I love the brown color Ashley put in it and that she cut the end and did super long layers so I can keep most of my length. My hair feels softer and healthy after going to her. Can't explain how much I love my hair. She is defiantly worth the wait to get into for an appointment. The hair salon is really cute as well, in a great location with lots of shops in walking distance. Thanks again Ashley. read more
