Corina started doing my hair MANY, many years ago. Then I had the brilliant idea of moving away. For the next decade, I bounced from salon to salon, convinced I would eventually find someone who could do my hair as well as she could. Spoiler alert: I did not. It finally dawned on me that Corina isn't just a hairstylist (and Salon owner). She's the unicorn. After a decade of subpar hair, I've moved back to the area and made my way into Corina's chair again. My hair has never been happier. If you're looking for someone who knows what they're doing and makes your hair look better than you imagined, Corina is the one. read more

Corina did an amazing job on my cut and Brazilian blowout! I appreciated the time Corina spent in making sure I got exactly what I wanted while understanding all the details of the Brazilian blowout process, her attention to detail was great. Highly recommend AU salon and Corina! read more

Au Salon - Waiting and wash area - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

I've been coming to Au Salon for a couple of years now, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. Every visit is such a treat -- from the warm welcome when I walk through the door to the incredible care and attention I get from Corina and the team. Over the years, Corina has truly gotten to know my hair and what works best for me. Whether I'm coming in for a fresh cut, color, or just a little refresh, I always leave feeling completely renewed and absolutely in love with the results. The consistency, professionalism, and genuine passion at Au Salon are unmatched. They make me feel like more than just a client -- it's like visiting friends who happen to be incredibly talented at what they do. I couldn't be happier and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else! read more

I cannot recommend Corina and AU enough. Corina has been cutting hair for over 20 years, and it shows in every part of the experience. She specializes in curly hair (though she truly works beautifully with all hair types), and her technique is unlike anything I've experienced elsewhere. She uses a thoughtful, curl-respecting approach that prioritizes movement, shape, and how the hair actually lives day-to-day -- not just how it looks when you leave the chair. Every single time I leave this salon, I feel confident and like my best self. That's something I've never been able to say consistently about any other salon. Even when other stylists at AU have worked on my hair, the results are always excellent -- which speaks volumes about the overall standard and culture of the salon. The service is also incredible: shampoo, conditioning, intentional styling, and such a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere (plus the added bonus of a glass of wine). You never feel rushed, and you truly feel cared for. I actually found Corina years ago through a chance conversation when I worked at West Elm -- she came in as a client, we got to chatting, and I asked if the salon did men's cuts. I've been coming here ever since. Life got busy and I was away for a bit, but coming back reminded me why I won't go anywhere else. If you're looking for a stylist who understands your hair and a salon where you'll leave feeling confident, polished, and yourself -- this is it. read more

Brooke was so kind and patient! She made the experience so special since I haven't been to a salon in two years. The salon was beautiful and relaxing. I got a haircut with a color correction and it was fast, easy, and I love my hair. read more

As a disabled person I highly recommend the Au Salon, not only for the accessibility, but for the care their hairstylist's take when providing service for their clients. The upmost regard was used when collaborating about what I wanted for my hair color, as well as all the extra accommodation I needed for my disability. I personally went to Emily and got a haircut a few months back, then decided to pull the trigger and have her color my hair. The best decision I made for myself was coming back to Emily at the Au Salon. The salon itself is in an amazing location in midtown. I highly recommend this Salon! read more

I could not be happier with how my hair turned out. I asked for a butterfly cut and a blowout and Corina delivered exactly that. No awkward moments, the music was 10/10. I went in feeling like a witch and left feeling like a bad b!tch!!! Which says alot because i'm usually verryyyy picky about my hair. However, I truly had my Carrie Bradshaw moment strutting down 19th street. Parking was easy to find btw. The vibes were immaculate. If I had all the money in the world I would spend it at Au Salon. The staff was so welcoming and accommodating, I felt so safe and relaxed. read more

I recently was reunited with Corina and am SO HAPPY to have her back in my life! She was my hair stylist for almost 10 years before we lost touch. If you haven't met Corina, she is A VIBE and really makes your time in her salon an experience. The salon is clean, stylish, and luxurious. She did an amazing job (I knew she would) transforming my hair. She heard my vision, made her own suggestions, and took me from heavily highlighted closer to my natural hair color but with gorgeous, chocolatey/coffee, rich dimension. She nailed it.

AMAZING...Seriously the most amazing experience we've had in our 14 year journey to find someone who can cut my daughter's thick, curly hair! After many years of tears and traumatic haircuts we finally found Michele at AU Salon! This was the first haircut where my daughter had a smile on her face and the only tears were from me because I was so relieved and happy to see my daughter leave a haircut feeling beautiful and confident. From the consultation appointment to the actual haircut appointment, Michele listened intently, asked questions for clarity and then meticulously cut my daughters hair to perfection. Her attention to detail and precision while working with my daughter's hair was an experience I will never forgot! In addition To the excellent haircut by Michelle, the salon itself was so warm and welcoming. The owner made us feel right at home the first time we entered. They definitely have a client for life.

I have been going to Corina for about 10 years now and have finally followed her to her very own salon and I'm so glad I did. She is amazing at her craft especially with color and style! Most times I walk out of the salon wanting to go out on the town rather than home with how great I look and feel! Her new salon is cool and chic yet cozy like you're kicking back with your best girl friends. And big bonus! She's fun to be around, listens and has a huge heart. And a shout out to Sammi too, another up and coming stylist who has followed Corina...what does that tell you? Book an appointment, you may have just found your new stylist! read more

Yesterday I went to Au Salon for the first time. I was so impressed with the facility I did not feel like I was in Sacramento. It was very upscale and the service was phenomenal.

Prior to beginning my service she sat with me and discussed my vision and shared her wealth of knowledge with me as to how we could attain My goal She Has a great sense of humor which helped provide a very enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend you try this salon. read more

I absolutely love this salon and everyone who works there. I made appointments for myself and a friend so we got to experience and interact with a few of the stylists. Corina is an amazing colorist and cutting specialist ! The stylists were fun and professional and answered all of our questions and concerns about our hair. I have tried many different hair salons as I travel a lot for my job, and I am thrilled to have found this new place close to home ! AU is everything a high end Salon should be, but with a price point that feels good. I was so pleasantly surprised by the amount of time and care the professionals at AU Salon spent cutting and coloring my hair. We started off with a consultation and we they talked about what we wanted, and what was realistic for our hair type... that alone was worth going. I am really impressed with how thorough the process was and I am very happy with my cut and color! I am definitely returning. read more
