My husband and I had our hair cut and colored today by Charles, the owner. Charles is very talented and has a terrific personality. He is warm, kind, funny, and entertaining. There is never a dull moment with him. The salon is beautiful and clean. They take the COVID virus very seriously and keep everything sanitized. Yes, masks are required and worn by all the staff. This salon has been a fun place to go because everyone there is terrific. If you are looking for a great place to have your hair done, this is the place. read more

Jenna was amazing!!! Best balayage I've ever had. You know you got a good Balayage when you can wear it straight and it still looks natural and Blended. She also gave me a fantastic hair cut. She was incredibly thorough and friendly. She listened to me and it turned out perfect. I can be a pain in the butt and she never made me feel like it was a problem. Just wanted to make me happy. WILL BE COMING TO HER FROM NOW ON!!! read more

I've been going here for about a year since I moved from Southern California. Melissa cuts and colors my fine hair (which can be difficult to work with) and does a great job. I highly recommend her. Also, this is the only salon I could find that does semi-permanent color and they use a high quality non damaging product. Unlike with permanent hair color, my auburn color doesn't get over saturated and it has a nice red in it each time. I have naturally dirty blonde hair so it also helps the roots to not look stark when my hair grows. The salon also uses Kevin Murphy products and you can get a good sized trial sample before buying the full size. Melissa also cuts my son's hair since the child's salon across the road was not doing a good job. You have to know what you're doing when you cut short hair and Melissa definitely knows how to cut hair well. Hope this review helps someone. read more

Skincare and lash extensions with Gina at William Charles Salon is the best in Sacramento by far! She is an absolute artist when it comes to lashes, people always ask me if my lashes are real and how amazing they look. She is also fabulous with the more life experienced skin, her microdermabrasion and peel combo facial leaves my skin looking refreshed and youthful. Gina has been my esthetician for over seven years, and my skin has never looked better. I have had so many compliments on my skin and lashes and I know it is Gina I should thank. Book with her today, she is the best!! read more

Charles at William Charles Salon is just amazing. Lily for the best nail service- her Gel last! Pita gives the most relaxing, rejuvenating facials! Pita also does threading- I had never had my eyebrows threaded and wasn't sure about the process but she was quick and painless! Charles takes the time to go over your hair cut/style options so the end result is a very satisfied customer. Both of my daughters and I have been a customer of William Charles Salon for years! I just love the full service salon and the friendly atmosphere. read more

If anyone is going here, you made a right choice. Got my hair done by Matha Her and she fixed my quarantine home bleached disaster into a new queen. She also gave me such great advice on the after care and recommended products she was using my hair that day. Morocco Oil is my ultimate fav now cause my hair ends up feeling silky than my dead frizzy hair back then. For pictures, follow her insta @matha.her read more

Melissa is awesome! I'm trying to grow out my hair and old color. And it showed! Melissa suggested a few little low lights to blend my natural color. Oh my gosh! It worked. Gone is the color change line. I love it. Melissa listens and then offers suggestions. She is very easy going, not pushy at all. I will be returning. read more

I found Vanessa through her Instagram account @fabness . I instantly made an appointment after seeing her work. I've never walked out disappointed. Whether I've wanted tips, no tips, simple or nail art, she does it and does it very well. Its the best nail experience I've ever had. Not only is her work phenomenal, Vanessa is such a sweetheart. Great work and great company!! read more

WARNING: Okay so I got my nails done at William Charles salon in old Roseville by Vanessa Torres on Wednesday July 15th 2015 I went in she was super nice and inviting, but I had a 4pm appointment. I got there a half hour early and she didn't start on my nails till 4:30. She was using a different method than I had tried before she did sculpted nails. I was intrigued so I wanted to try them out. So she then applied the set and I loved them she was awesome perfect length shape color. Except for the thickness she had told me they should be as thick as a penny and the glitter will also thicken it. I said okay no worries. I don't think nails should be 3x a penny in thickness. Only my thumb was like that. I got home still loving my nails and a short 3 days later nails just started popping off like nothing 5 came off.... Pretty upset I texted her and she wanted to make it right I was very appreciative for that. But what had happened when I got them "fixed" was inexcusable all of the nails she "fixed" we're crooked way longer than the others and are all over just awful! I'm warning everyone not to go there. I don't have the time or patience to go every week because she has messed up. I am posting pictures below for you all to see please SHARE so no one else has to go through this... Not to mention my best friend went right after me and hers have fallen complete off we never plan on returning to William Charles salon!! On another note two days after she "fixed" them they are all coming off again. I'm appalled NEVER will I ever go there again. Please don't waste your money. I wish I could give them 0 stars.... read more

Today I had an appointment! I'm very happy! Jenea was awesome! Very easy to talk to. She knew exactly what I was wanting and gave me a great cute cut! Very clean friendly salon w great prices! I already made an appt for dec!!!!!!! wish I would have went sooner! read more

William Charles Salon in Fair Oaks is beautifully decorated, inviting full-serve very accommodating salon. Bright and cheery with a nice mix of modern and romance. A tasty selection of refreshments are offered complements of the salon. The place is sparkling clean and centrally located in Old Fair Oaks. The stylists are talented professionals and produce beautiful results. The reason for 1 star; the owner is a nosy gossip, rather dramatic and everything is a crisis! I've shockingly overheard him talking unfavorably about other people on more than one occasion and openly complain about day-to-day challenges as if the "sky were falling" in an unreasonable display of emotional theatrics. Even though Charles appears as charming, the negatives outweigh this appearance. This type of behavior is expected from my 10 year old daughter but not from a business owner. I was referred by a co-worker to get my "color fixed". I had been thru a few "color experts" and needed help. The referral did come with a small degree of warning that the owner is a bit of a gossip-monger which I chose to ignored. I thought the comment was harsh and considered the source. After a few visits, I came away thinking the statement was dead-on if not understated. Although I've never had a better cut or color EVER and I enjoyed the ambiance looking forward to a relaxing service, as time wore on, it became obvious it wasn't worth spending two hours laced with unneeded drama! The moodiness was unpredictable and sometimes things were more calm than others. I thought I would give the benefit of the doubt for a few visits and try to meditate thru it but the salon is small and difficult to block out other conversations or rantings!! I also thought that the owner would realize he was unconsciously chasing off customers. (My co-worker also stopped seeing Charles and so has the referral I sent to the salon). My last visit was the turning point and I am in search of a new colorist...not easy especially for course graying hair. read more

I really like this salon. Mary is my stylist and she does a fantastic job, she knows her way around a mixing pot. 67 years old is to young to have grey hair, in my opinion. Charles, I think he is the owner, is just a doll! If you are looking for professional, knowledgeable, listening and motivated people who love what they do, give William Charles Salon a chance. read more

I was told about this salon from a co-worker. After reading the first review I was a little nervous. My co-worker told me Charles was great and to just trust her. So I did and let me say I am ever so pleased with my hair cut and color!! Charles listened to what I wanted and went to work. I have to say I will be going back in three months for my touch up and hair cut! read more

Love this place, especially the nail lady Lili. She is so good at what she does. She takes her time making your nails feel and look great.

Joshua is AMAZING. I have FINALLY found a stylist that I want to stay with FOREVER! I had always heard of people having "their" stylist.... and in the meantime, I would go to a person once, or twice, and never return because I didn't LOVE my hair. My hair is thick and curly/wavy... So it was easy for stylists to say "no problem, I know how to cut your hair"... and then really leave me with something.... mediocre/ unmanageable... Not until Joshua Jones at William Charles Salon, have I known what it feels like to LOVE my hair. He has done my hair about 6 times now, and I have LOVED my hair ever since that very first time. He gave me a cut for my hair type, face shape, etc- all while listening to what I wanted and adding what I needed. My color is amazing, my cut is FANTASTIC. I've never received so many compliments on my hair, but more importantly, I've never LOVED my hair as much as I do. I highly recommend going to Joshua!!!! It was such a great choice. As for the salon, it's such a gem. The ambiance is amazing, you get offered wine, tea, coffee, or water, it's a high class salon without being intimidating at all. This is the place to go. I really could go on and on about this place and my stylist, but will just say this, try it out!!! read more

New to salon, but happen to get CHARLES, OmG what a great stylist, listens & didn't hack @ my hair It get's better, & better.. Plus he works around my schedule, if possible. Hot chicks everywhere, thanks to Charles, U R a doll. Lizardo :-) ooOo read more

My hair dresser Alisha really listened to what I wanted and did exactly what I asked. I asked to become more blonde, and she made it even more amazing then I expected! She saw mistakes my previous hair dresser made a corrected them without any problem!! since then I have been getting compliments on how awesome my hair looks! If you go here try to book Alisha!! I mean they are all great but this is who I am going to for now on!! read more

I walked into this salon looking for a product 5 years ago and was greeted by Charles. He was so friendly and accommodating, so I bought my product and called back to set an appointment. It's so hard to find good quality people who know what they are doing when coloring hair, but I took a chance and made an appointment with Charles! After 5 years now I wouldn't go to anyone else! He's the best. read more

I just started getting my nails done at this salon and one of the first things that impressed me was how clean it is! Not only is it clean, but it is trendy, and the entire staff are friendly and welcoming. Charles, the owner is present all the time and he does everything he can to make this a first class salon. This salon has received many awards for outstanding service and color. If you are looking for a great all service salon,this is it! Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

William Charles Salon...what can I say ...this is THE BEST salon. I have had my hair colored for many years at some of the very best salons in Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara and Sacramento and no one got it right until I went to Charles. The color is equal to the great hair cut. I think what I appreciate the most is the care taken in understanding the whole person and helping me with skin care as well as hair care. The atmosphere of the salon is very pleasent and welcoming. I would highly recommend this salon to anyone. My granddaughter, who has very curly unmanageable hair, is truly pleased with the cut and treatment she has received. For anyone of any age, this is the salon for you if you want a great cut, great color and folks that care about YOU! read more

My fiance got a haircut & styling suggestions from Addison and it looks absolutely amazing, can't wait to get in for a cut and color!

Lili is the most fantastic manicurist I have ever come across. Her gel last weeks (not 2 tops like other places, we are talking 4+ weeks) and her pedicures are heavenly. Not to mentions her pricing is very competitive. I highly recommend Lili read more

I recently went to William Charles slim and saw Melissa I love the way my hair turned out. Looking forward to coming back.

THIS PLACE ROCKS! Melissa gave my hair exactly what it needed and her & Charles pulled me away from my idea of wanting to go from blonde to black and I am so glad! They were both incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and the salon is so clean and well designed. Will definitely be back to see Melissa again! read more

Can't agree with the other review at all. I have had a fabulous haircut and inspired color from the day of my first appointment. Service is fast and the place is lovely. People are nice and what more could you ask. read more

I am so happy that I found this salon!! I followed Lily, who does my nails, here and found the cutest, cleanest, most adorable salon. I'll never go anywhere else. Charles, one of the owners, is now doing my hair, cut and color. He does a fabulous job, he's reasonably priced and has THE best personality. He gives discounts to students and all three of my daughters now trust him with their hair too. He decorates the shop so beautifully for each holiday, always has fresh water flavored with fruit or cucumbers, they serve you treats, baked goods, etc and have the best selection of hair products I've seen. They are one of the few salons that carry the Moroccan Oil products and have such a big selection. Everyone in the shop is so friendly! I can't give this salon enough stars! read more

I've gone in twice to get color. The first time was great. The second time was terrible. The color was way too dark, and I didn't even get a cut! I was not only disappointed in the color, but the lack of customer service was the topper. I'll be trying someone else. read more

Mary is the best stylist that has ever lived in the history of ever. She applied expert knowledge to my difficult, short haircut, and even improved on it. I needed highlights, and told her to go for whatever she thought was best. The salon came very highly-recommended, so I figured at at the least I would look very interesting. She matched my skin tone and base hair color, and added a touch of punk to make it really fun. I absolutely love it, and her. read more

charles is an excellent stylist , he listens and honestly tells you if a certain style will work for you based on your hair texture and face. i see him in the evenings after work and it works for me and my busy schedule. i also love the stylish decor of his salon, he is quite creative and talented in more that one way. and i might add a great sense of humor!!! read more
