A blessing and a curse! That's what having hair that is similar to a horses tail is. Thick, heavy and lots of it. Not an easy task to find someone who understands hair like mine. Not easy finding someone that keeps up with the current, hip, today styles. But no more. It was sooooo frustrating to go from stylist to stylist trying to find someone with the talent to cut my hair, but most importantly, have the cut look good while it grows out 3-4 weeks later. I've wasted so much money and time (waiting until the awful cut grows out) on incompetent people. But no more. Liisa, owner and stylist extrodonnaire, has been the person handling the scissors or razor on my hair for over almost 10 years, (yes, this review is way, way past due!!) I get pretty bored with wearing the same look and have gone from super short hair to shoulder length hair. Liisa always has up to date knowledge about whats new, what's hot with hair styles, but most importantly, whether or not they would work for my hair and face. The proof: after Liisa worked her magic scissors on my hair, women AND men compliment my hair, and to me, that speaks very loudly about the talent Liisa has. Recently, my number two son got married and all the girls were wearing vintage hair styles from the 40's. Liisa, again, was my answer to looking and feeling absolutely beautiful. Wearing my hair down, with a flip curl, my style was spot on with my dress and makeup. If you have short hair, Liisa is for you. If you have medium or long hair, Liisa is for you. If you like to rock your look, feel beautiful and know you look it, give Liisa a call. Oh and ask for several of her business cards as you will be handing them out to people who ask you "where did you get your haircut done, I love it!" read more

Mary is the most amazing stylist/colorist for short blonde hair! I am among the many girls who can't get the right cut or color blonde EVER! until I came to Mary. She knew what to use how to tone and what products to use to keep the white blonde I love so much! I get compliments daily on my color and cut! I can tell you if you are a blondie....she's your best bet! read more

I've had my hair long for as long as I can remember. People know me for my long luscious curls, and I think they look great (on the days that they cooperate). BUT! I was getting tired of how long it took to get the curls looking good and presentable for work everyday. I'm the kinda gal that is NOT crazy about beauty routines (I wash my face with bar soap!), so spending more than a few minutes on my hair every morning was just becoming a drag. I've also started to jump on the wave of embracing your curls, nourishing your natural hair, and rocking the biggest curls you can possibly muster, so I figured that a good haircut could give me the volume I was looking for. Enter Jade. She is the sweetest tiny human, and she was not scared of cutting off my hair at all! Before I learned anything about Devacuts and curls, getting my hair cut was always a nightmare for me, the hairdresser, and all the aftercare that ensued. Jade went in, and hacked away at the jungle of long curls with no fear. I have to admit once I saw my hair on the floor I was in shock. This took a bit of time to get over--it's a big change! Once I started to see my curls drying and taking shape, I started to LOVE what Jade had done to my hair! I still can't believe it, but I know that I love it! It's short, and spunky, I feel rad in it. I think I look super cool, and I feel like it's so much more ME. Needless to say, if I could give her 10 stars, I would. Beyond me loving the haircut, she is extremely talented on her own merit--I would trust her with whatever you need! read more

After moving from San Jose to Citrus Heights I really needed to find some one who I could trust to style and cut my hair!! I asked around and my friend gave me Lauren number. Oh my! I love her! Definitely will go back and refer! read more

I had a great experience with Jade! She definitely knows what she's doing and is super sweet. I had called the salon based on the yelp reviews and she happened to answer the phone. Usually, I wouldn't schedule a hair service with someone I don't know or wasn't referred to but, she made me feel confident in choosing her as my stylist. I came in not knowing what to expect really but had hoped for the best. This lady knows hair is all I have to say, and this is coming from someone that went to some of the best and highly rated salons in Oregon. I appreciate her kind demeanor, and her confidence in her work doesn't leave any room for hesitation. The results I achieved were fantastic and I am very pleased with her level of expertise. Thank you Jade, you're a hair goddess for sure!!! read more

If you are looking for a salon in the Folsom area don't bother looking any further. Echelon has proven to be nothing short of amazing. The owner, Liisa is warm, caring, and does fantastic work.

Her hair has never looked better. If your reading this review I highly suggest reaching out to her. You will be happy you did! Her work is flawless and she continues to deliver the same results.... read more

Jade !!! She did it again, my 2nd deva cut with her and she tamed the beast. When from a frizzy lion to soft tamed curls and told me everything she used in my hair so I can adjust my product combo for a better look read more

So I was going to another salon In Folsom, off of Sutter Street and I was super uncomfortable with the judgey and catty environment. I changed over to the Echelon Salon and the minute I walked in the door I was welcomed with smiles and positivity! Not only did they allow me to bring my sleeping baby, the sweet ladies helped keep him entertained while my hair finished processing. Being a mother is one of the most stressful, and exhausting experiences. But because of the girls there, and my fabulous stylist Shelby, I was able to walk out of there with a happy baby, and I felt like a MOVIE STAR! I would HIGHLY recommend Shelby because she thoroughly walks you through every step of the process, and makes sure you are satisfied with your wants and needs! She has taken care of my hair the entire lightening process from dark to blond, and Its super healthy and of course GORGEOUS! Thankyou Echelon for being so great! A good mom is a happy mom! read more

I wrote a review about Mary on 5/27/2017. We ended up working it out and she reimbursed me for my haircut. Thank you Mary. But as far as the owner's response about me posting a review about a Southern California Echelon Salon and having a Stressful week that never happened. I have never posted another review about any other Echelon Salon in Santa Clarita, the one in Folsom is the only one I have ever been to. read more

I'm happy to say I've found my new salon! I recently moved back from Southern California and was extremely nervous about finding a new stylist, but I couldn't have been happier with the job Jade did. It's hard to find a stylist who's a pleasure to talk AND makes your hair look spectacular. I needed a fresh cut and some balayage that would look good growing out and the color came out perfect and looks so natural! She nailed the layers and color for my face shape and skin tone and I would highly recommend her to friends and family. The photos speak for themselves! read more

Just Awesome....Thank you Courtney you are amazing. YOU used your skills to make me look beautiful again. I love my hair colour. I love this place, everyone is super nice and the atmosphere is relaxed. I'll definitely tell my friends and family about my wonderful experience at Echelon. Ciao read more

Sherry is awesome! I don't do much to my hair, but I've been wanting to try out a curly perm for a long time. My hair is naturally stubbornly stick straight and would never hold a curl despite curling rods and tons of hair spray. I found Echelon through some very positive online reviews, and made an appointment. It was pure luck that Sherry picked up the phone that day, and I'm so glad she did! She worked with my schedule and seemed almost as excited about my hair as I was. It turns out that my hair is super resistant to pretty much everything, so what is usually an hour and a half long process turned into 3 hours, but it came out exactly how I wanted! I'm getting compliments left and right, and when people find out it's a perm they say that it looks really natural. I am so incredibly happy with this cut and perm, and I will definitely be going back to Sherry now. BTW, this salon accepts cash only, so hit up an ATM before arriving! read more

Go to Mary! Girl knows what she is doing. I have searched high and low for a good stylist- I love her!!!

Angel spent 7 hrs. on my beautiful wifey today and her hair looks amazing. She went above and beyond to accomplish a look that Elisa has been working toward for a really long time and I love it. Just wanted to say thank you! :) read more

Mary is a magician! I know hairdressers don't like when we expect them to magically make us look like the pictures we bring in, but Mary really is amazing! My friend recommended her to me and now I'm recommending her to my friends (hopefully that doesn't mean it will be harder to get an appointment!!). I absolutely LOVE my hair and am glad to have finally found a hairdresser I can trust - and who I love chatting with while she does her magic! :D read more

Having curly hair, I can be very particular about my hair dresser. I was in the market for a new salon, and randomly called this salon, asking for their best stylist for curly hair. That happened to be Sherry. My appointment was great. Sherry was friendly and made me feel comfortable. As she cut my hair, I could tell she understood how to cut curly hair, something no other stylist had ever conveyed to me. The clincher, though, was her styling of my hair. I have always had stylists blow out my hair straight because not one stylist I have been to was able to style my hair curly. They always made my hair crunchy with too much product or triangle shaped with no volume at the top and roots of my hair. My hair never curled correctly but would look frizzy and wavy. But amazing Sherry did the impossible; she actually styled my hair exactly as I like it, with very little product or effort. I was so impressed. Sherry and Echelon Salon have earned my business for life! read more

I've been going to Liisa for as long as I can remember! The few times I have gone to any other hairstylist outside of Echelon, I have had to go back to Liisa to get it fixed. She listens to what you want and will work with you until you are satisfied. She also recommends products to help you achieve that salon look at home. She (& her entire team) stays up to date with current style trends and techniques. There is no one better than Liisa in the Sacramento area! read more

I have never felt so welcome and comfortable at a nail salon. Miranda, the nail esthetician, has a private room in the salon and gives you 100% of her attention. She is extremely knowledgeable and I walked out with one of the best mani-pedi's I've ever had. The place is very clean and all the equipment is new. I made two more appointments before I left. read more

Mary Hargon is the person to go to! She is amazing! She's young and hip, knows color very well and she is super easy going and easy to talk to so the time goes by quick! I have been highlighting my hair for about 20+ years and I am very picky and have tried hair stylist from Downtown Sacramento to El Dorado Hills and I have stuck with Mary for the last 3 years because she knows what I want and does it every time! I have seen others in the salon do amazing work as well I think you can't go wrong here! It's a beautiful salon as well! I highly recommend! read more

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now, because Sherry is wonderful, and there aren't enough stars to give her the credit she deserves. I had been searching for a Deva Curl Stylist in my area, and found Sherry based on her outstanding Yelp reviews. She managed to turn my frizzy, out of control waves into pretty, natural curls, and taught me how to style my hair with my new haircut in a way that I can (with a little product) just leave as it's meant to be. , On top of Sherry's amazing skills, something else that sets her miles apart from stylists I've seen is that she is incredibly thoughtful, intentional, and intuitive. She set aside several hours for me on the first visit, listening to what I wanted and talking me through the entire process as she cut, washed, deep conditioned and styled my hair. I learned a complete regimen for nourishing and taking care of my curls. She even mixed up some products to give me the perfect look. I know that she will never rush me, and she offered ideas that tap into what I really want for myself. (Click on my profile photo to see the result). Sherry's attention to detail and finesse as a stylist left me feeling like a million bucks -- all for an affordable price. Most importantly, she is a phenomenal human being. I really look forward to seeing her, to her kindness, patience and sense of humor. Thanks Sherry! You are the best of the best! read more

Yesterday i had my gel mani and a deluxe pedi done by Miranda. She is awesome! She has her little private area for her clients, is very clean and really knowledgeable! I love her selection of polish. I bought 3 more gel manicures! read more

I have been going to this salon for many years for nails and hair. I love the stylist I have there. Her name is Sherry. I Always love her ideas for hair colors. She has done many cuts and colors for me and it ALWAYS turns out the way I like! So comfortable the atmosphere and a nice place to chill. read more

If there is but one single reason to go to Echelon, that reason is called Sherry. Back in 2003, I stumbled upon Echelon when going to a much fancier and pricier salon across the street. After that salon dyed my hair lighter but refused to tint my eyebrows, I found my way to Echelon to a very nice stylist named Sherry who noted my sheer desperation with having significantly darker eyebrows than my newly tinted hair. These short visits went on for awhile until finally, I thought...this stylist gets me and I started booking appointments with Sherry. Throughout the years, she has cut my hair, dyed my hair, given me highlights and to this day, there is no one that knows my hair like Sherry. No one. This woman knows color and she knows style. She does anything from the ombre style to the crazy off-the-wall colors. Love her. Echelon is such an amazing salon. You walk in and everyone is not only talented but also very friendly. Before and even now, whenever I've walked into the more pretentious salons, I always felt that I was being judged by the overly fashionable bordering on tacky 20-year old stylists. That's not a great feeling to feel when you're sitting in a chair for a few hours trying to make superficial conversation with a stylist. At Echelon, and especially with Sherry, the hours have always flown by with good laughs and a killer hairstyle at the end. I can't emphasize enough how great this place is. Prices are reasonable and the stylists are talented and wonderful people. read more

I called and scheduled an appointment with Courtney after reading good yelp reviews about her. She's awesome. Friendly. Cut and color perfect. So happy and will for sure be my new stylist! read more

This is a great salon. These ladies are master colorists in the Framesi color products (which are high quality products). They are masters at their craft. Liisa, the owner is fantastic, and so is Jessica. I highly recommend this salon if you are in the market for a new stylist. Ask for Jessica. read more

I get my hair done by Sherry and she is so great at what she does! She pays so much attention to detail and makes sure that I leave feeling confident and feeling fabulous! When she colored my hair that was the happiest I have ever been with my hair! I have gotten so many compliments over the color and the cut. She also recommends products that she truly believes in and only when she feels like I need them. In no way do I ever feel like she is trying to "up sell" me. She gives great head massages when she washes your hair and I definitely recommend her to my friends, family and to YOU! read more

Sherry at Echelon is the person to go to if you want excellent color, cut, or straightening. Was looking all over Sacramento for months for a salon that could handle my curls. Luck/fate came my way. I was referred to Sherry and almost 10 years later, I am still driving to Folsom to maintain my locks! Sherry is a natural with color and has a confidence that will reassure you that you will be leaving looking amazing! Schedule your appointment today! You will not be disappointed! read more

I LOVE Echelon! Liisa (who is also the biz owner) has been doing my hair for almost 20 years. Before this, I'd struggled with hairdressers who didn't know how to manage my baby-fine, flyaway hair. Liisa is a true professional -- she is a superb hair stylist and colorist. She has awesome experience and keeps up with recent trends. She listens to any needs/concerns, and works with me to find the optimal style. I LOVE my hair!! The salon is a very attractive and welcoming place, and there is nice camaraderie among the stylists. It's a great place to get pampered! I also appreciate the free Wi-Fi. read more

I've been seeing Angel and she does amazing work! I'm a non practicing cosmetologist and I'm always hesitant to let people touch my hair; usually I leave with a mess and have to go home and fix it myself. Not this time, Angel took her time to do it right the first time and after my second visit we stayed right on track and I left even more thrilled! This salon is adorable and the Stylists are great! read more

I started coming here about 6 months before my wedding. I wanted my hair to be the perfect color for my big day, and it was. I see Mary for my cuts and color. She is affordable and personable. I know several men that get their hair cut there too and continue to go back. The best part of the whole thing is when she is washing your hair she gives you a head message for like 5 minutes. Its amazing! read more

Haylee did an awesome job with my cut. She was professional, confident, personable, detail oriented and explained what she was doing. She made sure I was happy each step of the way. I will be returning to see her for color next time! read more

Emily is the best! I had long hair with grown out highlights for way too long but Emily encouraged me to get balyage and I fell in love! She did such an amazing job and cut my hair short and just the way I wanted. She knows what I want better than I know myself! I get complimented on my hair daily! read more

Love this place! I found Liisa after searching throughout Sacramento for the right person (apparently I'm picky :)) and have gone to her ever since! She's absolutely amazing, very accommodating and listens to exactly what I want every time. You'll definitely be in good hands here! read more

Scarlett. So happy you have found a new home. Your stylist ways never cease to amaze me. I never leave feeling like less than 100$. I recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you. :] read more

What a wonderful salon! My experience has been with Haylee and she is fabulous! She does an awesome job with hair coloring, but also does eyebrow microblading and eyelash extensions too! (She has done all those for me and I would highly recommend!) Haylee can be your one stop shop for beauty. LOVE HER! read more

Courtney is a fantastic hair specialist! She listens to what you want and works her magic!
