I have thin, boring, straight hair but every time Karie does my hair I walk out feeling like I'm wearing someone else's head, lol. She's pure magic. I've been going to Karie for years and never have I ever been anything but delighted in the results. Such a gifted stylist and just the kindest person. There are numerous hair salons in my neighborhood but Karie is my girl. And the remodel is so refreshing. It feels so open now, bright and beautifully updated. Well done team! read more

Karie has been my stylist for 6 years. Every time I leave the salon I feel great and my haircut is perfect. The new renovation of the salon is beautiful, bright, and very inviting. read more

Pinky's salon is lovely! Karie, the owner, has been my stylist for 9 years, and people always want to know who does my hair! The salon update is stylish, and the sinks are so comfortable now! read more

This used to be such a sweet local business, one where you could sip wine while you enjoyed the rotating art that the salon owners hung up for Second Saturday. Now, under new management, I'm no longer a fan. The whole place just looks like a Great Clips. The products they now sell are cheap, the new sinks they put in have these bricks in the middle of them that probably work great for people with flat heads, but not for the rest of us (you end up with water down your back). The new neon sign makes it look like a strip club. Totally class-less. read more

Pinky's Salon is the best! Karie (the owner) has clearly put so much love into the salon. The atmosphere is chic, warm, and welcoming. Every part of the salon is clean and organized. I have been a client of Karie's for a decade, not only is she very skilled, but she is also so sweet and kind. I highly recommend Pinky's! read more

I definitely recommend Pinky's Salon! The updated salon is so cute with tons of natural light. The customer service is outstanding and staff makes sure all the clients are comfortable. Great location near coffee shops and restaurants. Plenty of parking as well. read more

Karie, Pinky's owner is the best! I get so many compliments about my hair. Recently remodeled, her salon has an open, modern style. One thing I love is that she gives me instructions on how to do my hair so it looks like I just left her salon. So happy I met her! read more

Continue to love my haircuts from Carol. Also, she's just a genuinely lovely person. I look forward to chatting with her as much as I do the haircut. She helped me grow my hair out from chin-length to almost mid-back, doing maintenance cuts every few months to keep it looking nice. It was the first time I didn't absolutely hate the grow-out period! Word to the wise: Carol's schedule fills up fast these days, so I make sure I snag an appointment 6-8 weeks before I need one. I can completely understand why she's so difficult to get into, because she's awesome. But I also kind of have to blame myself for alerting all the other curly-haired yelpers to her skills! read more

Pinky's has the best value, the best service, and the best results! I see Carol for my regular cut and color - she does an absolutely fabulous job and is a joy to talk to. I can honestly say that I have NEVER been disappointed in her work, even when I go out on a limb and let her try something new with my look. The cut and the color always come out spectacular! I would highly, highly recommend Carol, or anyone at Pinky's, for their unbelievable service and unmatched customer care. read more

Pinky's is exactly as the others describe. I feel completely comfortable going on a Saturday morning with grey roots and no makeup. I leave feeling a million bucks! I see Carol L. She is amazing. I have really thick, curly hair (and I mean curly, nearly dreads) It's also 90% gray. When I met Carol, I was trying to grow my hair out long - it was all one length. It was also colored a color that wasn't that flattering on me. Carol encouraged me to layer my hair and do highlights. After growing for 2 years, I was afraid of cutting. Carol has a lot of experience cutting ethnic hair and she did an amazing job on my cut. I get compliments all the time. I've also refer lots of people to her. I love Carol and encourage any other curly haired person to give her a try - you won't be disappointed. She is fabulous!!!! Christine C. read more

This salon is great! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! John is amazing! I have been coming here for the past 3ish years now and he's the only one who will ever touch my hair! My hair isn't anything special or complicated but John sends me out lookin fabulous each and every time. I always get a personalized visit, John takes his time to really get to know his clients and does an amazing job each and every time. Highly recommend. I look forward to my visits to the salon for my trim and highlights! read more

I have been meaning to review Pinky's Salon for some time now. I was a long-time, very loyal client of Barb's when I lived in the Sacramento area. She's totally THE BEST- I continued to come back to her for my haircuts even after I moved to the bay area. Unfortunately, with my busy schedule (not to mention the skyrocketing gas prices these days..) I can no longer make the regular trips back to Sacramento. I still haven't found anyone I like quite as well out here though (Miss you Barb! Just move on out here to the bay area, would ya??) . The salon is professionally operated, and has a nice, laid-back atmosphere. I never felt rushed during my appointment and the salon staff was always friendly. Pinky's is also located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Sacramento. read more

Carol is the best!!! This is a comfortable salon where the staff has been her forever creating a great environment. I moved away from Sacramento for ten years and called when I just moved back and to my surprise and delight Carol was still cutting there. Can not recommend enough. read more

Blanca, one of the owners of Pinky's, has been cutting my hair for more than ten years. Not only is she excellent at her craft, she is also a loving and caring person. She always has an upbeat and positive attitude, whether I am there for a full cut or just a bang trim. She gives good advice without being pushy, and her coworkers and staff are professional and personable. I always feel relaxed and nurtured while I'm there, and leave feeling pretty! read more

I highly recommend going to Pinky's! Carol is my stylist and she is wonderful! I have been with her for a year after I had been with another stylist for almost 20 years! My hair was a mess -- damaged, wrong color and wrong style. Carol listened to my concerns and then made several suggestions. We went for it! And, I so happy! I look so much better and much more contemporay and youthful. Pinky's Salon overall is the place to go in Sacramento. And, they carry great products that you cannot purchase elsewhere. read more

Comfortable and professional - interesting art on the wall - when you first arrive it feels more like the entrance to an upscale restaurant. Everyone has treated me warmly and worked with my schedule changes. I just adore Carol - she has listened very carefully, trying to interpret what I meant (not what I said) so she can give me the appropriate look. After going to her for just six months, she recently gave me a new cut - and for the first time in 10 years i have a look that is just right for me. And to think I never would have found her if my person in the bay area had not gone out on maternity leave. read more

I got a haircut and dye done by Susana for the 1st time. I was really treat like a star. She cared about my opinon on the style I wanted my hair to be. She has been cutting hair for 30 years. She up todate on the trends and care what I looked like walking out. Everyone at the salon was friendly they bring you refreshments too. What a treat! read more

Blanca is the best! I come from LA to have her cut my hair!

Susie Perez is amazing!! Going to get my hair highlighted by her. Love You Aunt Susie! :)

I had waited 8 weeks to get a fresh, professional, styled haircut. With the price of haircuts, I wanted to find a reputable salon. I called Pinky's knowing it had been around forever and having read good reviews on Yelp. I told the receptionist what I wanted and looked forward to making Pinky's my salon of choice for the future..I couldn't wait. I can't remember when I was more disappointed. Things didn't go well. From the lack of greeting when I arrived to the "OK you're done now" attitude, the less than hour experience didn't go well. I've waited 3 weeks to write this and have never "yelped" anyone before now; that's how strongly I feel about my experience at Pinkys. The young woman who was assigned to me turned out to be their part time receptionist, sometimes stylist. She has potential but at this point in time she's not even close to professional; not only her cutting skills but her lack of "service" oriented professionalism taints the experience of what you expect at a professional salon. She had no clue what she needed to do with my hair or how to treat me as a new and potential loyal client. Just know, if you want at good cut, you need to ASK QUESTIONS and make sure you are not getting a "part-timer". read more

I give this salon 5 stars not because it is anything spectacular however, Rachelle who does my hair is. Don't get me wrong, the salon is clean, the people are friendly and they carry my favorite shampoo that I have not found anywhere else (to be honest I have not gone searching very hard since I can get it here). This is not a full service salon so those wanting a one stop beauty experience will be disappointed. I have had the privilege of going to Rachelle for 13+ years now and I fear the day she retires. I realize that I should find someone locally as backup since the nearly 2 hour drive is less than convenient, but It would make me feel like I am cheating on Rachelle and I am no cheater. We all have our flaws so if I had to tell you what Rachelle's flaw is, it's that she does not charge enough for her services! Really! She has only raised her prices twice in all the time I have been going to her and one of those times is because I personally typed her up a new price list. So if you decide to make an appointment with Rachelle make sure you tip her REALLY well. read more
