Hai decided to call me today, on a holiday, concerned about my bad review. He offered to do my hair again or give me a partial refund (everything was terrible, but only a partial refund?). He made the excuse that it was the first time he had done my hair and it takes time to figure out what's right. I came in with specific colors in the brand of hair color this salon carried and somehow he still managed to massively mess up my hair....over six months ago. I had it fixed a long time ago and wouldn't risk someone who clearly has zero self awareness (calling me early and repeatedly on a federal holiday I had off work, but didn't get to enjoy thanks to the incessant calls) touching my hair again even if I was being paid to do so. Stay far, far away from Hai and this salon. They cannot be trusted and they really don't care about the customer at all. Hai, if you bother to read this, never, ever contact me again. I'm not interested in your excuses nor will I accept your bribe in order to remove my negative review. read more

I love the vibe in this salon and Saul is a true artist when it comes to cutting my hair. I have never been to stylist who as skilled as Saul or as meticulous. Plus, he is just a nice guy and makes me look forward to to getting my hair cut. Highly recommend! read more

Saul is the absolute best. We moved over with him from Hoshall's to Echelon and he's been cutting my family's hair for the past decade. My hair is very straight and many hair stylists don't manage it well but Saul is the best of the best. I've just been getting cuts recently but in the past I've had highlights and they were done expertly as well. Can't recommend enough! read more

Stylist: Hai The only good thing was that the appointment was scheduled only 2 days in advance. BUT -- The first color failed & ended up dirty blonde but was supposed to be DARK BLUE. I got the wrong color on the 2nd dye as well, which is now green, but was supposed to be light blue. Plus, the wrong area was dyed. I told him I wanted a pinky-thick streak on both sides & ended up with a span as wide as my hand. Not pleased at all. I never leave bad reviews but here I am now. read more

I called this salon in a panic due to a DIY trim that ended poorly on my long fine hair. My call was answered promptly, and she referred me to Hai. Hai called me within the hour to schedule me and fit me in to an early appointment 2 days later to fix my cut. The establishment was clean with a nice homey feel. Hai is so nice and did a quick but thorough consult on the cut before washing. When I say this man looked like Picasso cutting my hair, I mean it. He took my hair from all angles, tilted my head every which way, and corrected any spots not perfect after drying. He spent the majority of my hour long appointment simply cutting. I asked for a V cut with long layers and face framing. Took exactly how much off that he said he would. It looks phenomenal. Hai was very gentle with my hair, being that it knots up way too quickly and the strands are very fine. I'm sure you will love his work just as much as I do. read more

I was trying to refrain from writing this but I am too angry and I have to tell my experience. I had been seeing a hair stylist here and I have been feeling uncomfortable with her for two years. She has never seen me that she hasn't scolded me for one thing or another. In text, she was nice enough. But in person was where her grumbling and scolding started. Three days before I went for my appointment, I had visited my dad who was sick. But we didn't know until the next day that he had Covid. Now, I shared this with her. She asked me questions about that situation. I told her I had no physical contact with my dad and he was wearing a mask. I felt fine. Covid didn't hit me until 6 days later. I texted her and asked her if she was ok. She said she was fine. But the next day, she texted me and said, "I think you were irresponsible for coming here without a mask when you knew you had been exposed." It didn't occur to me to do that but if she had asked me to wear a mask, or asked me to reschedule, I would have not said no. She had to put all the onus on me and take no responsibility. For four years, I had avoided covid and not had so much as a cold. I thought I was home free, especially since I didn't feel sick for five days after. That was the final straw. I told her I was going to look for another hairdresser. I think out of her anger, she also butchered my hair the last time I saw her. I asked for one inch trim, she took off three inches. I asked for long layers, which I always get with no problem. This time she chopped off the layers short so I can't do anything with my hair. They have scissors and they think they have power. She took out her contempt on my hair. I'm not going anywhere near this place again. read more

I have been going to Echelon Salon & Liisa for 3 years now. Liisa is an amazing professional! She is a perfectionist whether it be cut or color and I always leave feeling amazed by her magic! The salon is immaculate and everyone that works there is very friendly and inviting. I am so grateful to have found Echelon when I moved here. read more

My teenaged son who is picky about his hair saw Hai (pronounced Hi) for a haircut. He looked terrific! Great quality cut and style, perfect for my son's age and style. I highly recommend Hai for an exceptional look at a reasonable price. read more

I am new to the Folsom area and after a few hair salons over the past several months I have found Hai who is now my "forever" hair colorist and stylist. Echelon is a darling down to earth hair salon with a friendly and happy staff. Thank You Hai- you are extremely talented and you were able to create what I have always envisioned for my own personal look - Finally. I found Echelon through reading multiple positive reviews. When I went in for a spur of the moment short shag haircut, Hai also took the time to add some beautiful highlights and a styling lesson to help me recreate the look at home. I can tell that Hai takes his art seriously and his ability to create color and cuts which current with todays styles. read more

It was my first time at this salon. After several weeks of research and friends' referrals, I made my appointment with Courtney for highlights and haircut. Courtney was great! She listened to my needs and was very accommodating. Love my color and haircut! Definitely highly recommended! read more

Echelon Salon - New do! - Hair Salons Near Me - Folsom, California

I recently got ripped off by Francisco. We agreed on a certain color for my extensions & he didn't do as we agreed. I paid $200 for the extensions which he agreed will work & later he said won't work. I can longer wear them or return them. He also charged me $100 to dye it & charged me twice for a haircut (he said he didn't but I later found the charges). I paid because he can be very confrontational & I didn't want to deal with that. I later contacted the manager for some advice & to see what my options are & she never called me back! read more

The ladies that work here are amazing. Very polite and positive. The colorist is highly skilled. I am very happy with my stylist. Prices are reasonable. read more

Francisco did an amazing job fixing my hair after it was sadly messed up by another stylist at a different salon. I honestly couldn't be happier with the result and how much I needed this fix !! Not to mention he is the happiest person you could have doing your hair! You can tell how much he loves his job! read more

PSA!! DO NOT SLEEP ON JADE! She killed it again! Cut and color this time I absolutely love it. Thanks boo! read more

Francisco did an amazing job as always! Always so sweet, funny and does an amazing job at his work. He's very attentive which I appreciate. Definitely recommend going to him for all your hair needs!! read more

4 months after this cut I FINALLY had enough length to go in for a trim at a different salon. Whatever massacre Liisa did to my hair is still around, some layers were so choppy there was nothing to do but continue to wait it out. If someone was doing your eyebrows and they ruined a chunk and didn't let you know you would request a refund, no? Never again. read more

Lisa! Did a wonderful job on my hair. Very professional, took time, left extremely happy! Lisa even took my hair donation and sent off for me. Wonderful experience, will be back!! Thank you Lisa. read more

This salon is PHENOMENAL!!! I have been searching around & came across reviews for Echelon, 95% being so positive, gave it try. First walking in the salon is very cute & in a great little pocket before the rainbow bridge in Folsom. I was paired with Hai, a very sweet man, who transformed my hair stunningly. He cut about 7 inches (my last haircut was about 2 years ago & only had it trimmed once in that time span so it was in desperate need of change) & I could not be happier. I said I wanted bangs again & for my hair to shape my face & some laying/thinning (I had 2 ft long hair that is very thick) & it turned out better than I had hoped. I am shocked he does not have more reviews. PLEASE call & ask for him as your stylist, I will be seeing him regularly now, he said for my hair about every 8 weeks to come in for a touch up so I will be doing so. Thank you to this amazing salon & my wonderful new hair stylist. You're amazing Hai! Thank you again for my beautiful new hair. read more

Okay so I searched for weeks for a great salon, we moved from the Bay Area and had only been in Folsom a month. In the Bay Area we had been seeing the same hair dresser for a decade... she did my daughters first cut and everything! I chose Exhelon because of the fantastic reviews... I should have actually read them deeper. The 5 star reviews are mainly for Jade who specializes in curly hair. I got Shelby for my 8 year old baby rapunzel and wow do I regret it! The ends of my daughter hair are not even or blended- all I wanted was a simple trim to clean up the ends and some long layers. I could have gone to super cuts for the same results and 1/4 the price.. I even tipped her $20 because I thought it looked great until I got her home and held her still to brush her hair out.. terrible! Man I'm so upset! read more

I took my mom here for her birthday to get her very first diva cut. In case you don't know what a diva cut is it's a haircut that's a specially designed for people with curly hair. My mom is been rocking her natural curls for many years and I thought a diva cut would be a nice way to in enhance how beautiful they are. We were able to make a last-minute appointment with Jade who had a little bit of time in between two appointments. While she wasn't able to do the full on style with my mom's curly hair she gave us a cheaper rate because of it. She did a great job cutting my moms hair and my mom really enjoyed the process. I will say the only problem was that my mom kept saying she wanted shorter hair and Jade seem to not want to do it supershort. I think if my mom had brought in some pictures it probably would've helped! Next time I come I will definitely make sure to bring pictures so that we can accurately describe exactly what we're looking for. I'm looking forward to getting my own diva cut in a few months. I think it's worth the drive out to Folsom to go visit Jade in case you don't live in the area. Not only is she nice, she's extremely talented and finding a good diva cut artist is hard to do. read more

Liisa is amazing! She pays attention to detail, offers great advice and knows what she's doing. I always leave feeling fabulous! read more

I started writing this review while I was sitting in the salon under the dryer because I already knew that my curls were going to come out looking real righteous!!!! First time coming to this salon I was actually referred by another salon and I'm so glad I went. Jade is her name and slaying is her game!!! Not only did she bring my curls back to life she was extremely sweet down to earth and fun to be around. She knew a lot about curly hair and she knew the exact cocktail my specific curl type needed. Thank you Jade so much. read more

I have naturally curly hair that I've worn straight for 21 years. Finally I decided to embrace my curls, so I'm going to Jade for deva cuts to transition my chemically straightened hair to all curly. She is awesome and just a ray of sunshine. She knows so much about curly hair! I will definitely continue going there for her deva cuts. read more

Have had a couple plunders with my hair lately... However! Courtney totally gave me my blonde locks back!! Quick at her craft and I walked out that door feeling great. Very thankful to have found her & totally recommend for all you blondes out there. Thank you Courtney (Salon practices safe COVID measures for those interested) read more

Shelby ROCKS!!! I had my hair totally reconstructed by Shelby. I was a total mess. Shelby spent 3 and a half hours removing old hair color, conditioning my hair, new color, style hair cut and styling it to perfection when done I felt absolutely Beautiful. I would recommend Echelon to everyone looking for a Totally Professional Hair Beauty Salon. read more

First off, I had a very warm welcome, and was offered coffee or a water as I walked through the door. I got checked in with Courtney and was sat down right away. She made me feel very comfortable the whole time, but stayed focused on my hair. Courtney kept asking questions to make sure I was comfortable with everything she was doing with my hair. I love the results, this is exactly what I was hoping for read more

I have been going to this salon for years! My stylist is Lauren Rooney, who does exemplary work, and everyone compliments how my hair looks! Recently, she had a child and went on Maternity Leave, so I tried another stylist at this salon, named Courtney Nelson. She also did an outstanding job, and she explained how to keep it straight. (I have frizzy hair naturally), so now I have a good idea of how to take care of my hair and keep it straight. read more

I've been looking for a new stylist as my former one moved away. Always dread the experience but this time was wonderful. Courtney at Echelon did a fantastic job with my long thin fine hair. She had good suggestions and the final result was more than I expected! Thank you, Courtney! read more

I am new to this hair place and I am so happy I found it. Courtney works wonders on my curls and just did an amazing color!

Courtney did my hair, and I was so happy! She worked so hard to make sure it turned out great. I went for a sunset blend of colors including orange, pink and purple, which she helped me pick out. The colors worked on my skin perfectly. I would definitely recommend her! read more

First time at Echelon Salon and it was very good! Shelby was my stylist and was so friendly and professional. The atmosphere in the salon was so inviting and fun. I loved my cut and have already made my next appointment. I highly recommend this salon for your next haircut. read more

Had my first cut since November just a few days ago. I've read in so many reviews that other people have a similar problem - they go to a stylist, get a great cut then go back a second time and get a terrible cut. I know we all have bad days, but that has been a constant theme in my hair cut experiences. My hair is curly, but kind of fine and light weight. I often straighten it. I prefer to have my hair cut after it's been straightened so that I can see it lay clean and even, and so that it looks good straight because when I wear it curly it does what it wants! Mary Ann did a stellar job!!!! She listened to me and explained things to me on a level I could understand, and she could tell I'm low maintenance with my hair so she did the straightening and cutting without any product - because in reality, how many of us have and properly use all those products that make our look amazing but unattainable???!! So I walked out of there with a great cut! Now - since then I've worn my hair curly and straight and it looks great both ways! She was such a joy to be around and did exactly what I asked while using her professional judgment. I can't get over how happy I am with my hair! Thank you Mary Ann!!! Also, the salon is super established, tucked in a quiet professional building, very clean and tasteful on the inside. Masks required. SUPER comfy chairs for when they wash your hair! read more

I am an out of state college student and i refuse to see anyone but Emily. She has been doing my hair since before I left the state and she is still the only one who does my hair. She is one of my first stops every time I plan a trip to come home. She is always able to give me what I want. I'm so indecisive so she will dye my hair blonde and then the next time I see her, I'll be asking to be brunette, and she always delivers. The color is always better than what I thought I wanted, and my cuts have never been short of perfect. Emily also gives amazing spray tans that look natural and last! My tan before vacation didn't fade or start splotching at all. I love the vibe of the entire salon, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I would recommend this salon, and Emily, to anyone in the Folsom area! read more

Cute little salon with a friendly staff. I love my haircut, it's exactly what I asked for. Plus the stylist did a great job styling it afterward. It cost $45. I went from long to short hair so that I could donate my hair to Locks of Love. Conveniently they mailed the hair to LoL for me. read more

I absolutely love Echelon! I've been going to Emily for years and I've always been more than satisfied! She always knows what I want when I switch it up from light to dark blonde or vice versa. I even took my grandmother to her and she loved her haircut! She also does amazing eyelash extensions and spray tans. The whole staff is incredibly friendly. I've recommended to all my friends and would recommend to anyone! read more
