Amazing experience, very attentive and really knows how to style. Looking forward to a return visit

I have been going to Miguel for a few years now and I'm always happy with the results! This last week I decided to go from dirty blonde with highlights (which is my usual) to a strawberry blonde/rose gold color. It isn't an easy color to get just right but I absolutely love how it turned out! I wanted it to be mostly a natural looking color with subtle pink highlights and he did an excellent job weaving them in. I love my hair! Great service, great price, and overall just always a good experience. Thank you Miguel! read more

Love miguel. He's responsive to messages and is always on time. He's great with my kid too!

I really really REALLY wanted so badly to love this place.. Miguel is seriously the sweetest man and I loved the location.. The ambience, hospitality and openness of the salon, all beautiful! And located right across from the DOCO! I just wish I could say the same about my haircut Maybe it was my fault for not explaining properly, or maybe not enough clarification? I probably should have followed up with previous photos for reference, but I asked for the sides of my head trimmed down/faded down with a drop fade at the back of my head (v-shaped) leaving my length at the top long with a quarter inch trim towards the back, as I would be growing the top crown and about an inch below, out. Essentially blending the back of my head down to cut down the mullet I had been rocking for a few months (giving an boy cut with an undercut fade). Instead I got my right side shorter than my left side (right side about a quarter of a centimeter above my ear, with my left being about a quarter of a centimeter lower than the top of my ear) where I part my hair and back of my head looking choppy. Added to partial cut of the sides of my head with no fade with some parts having not been touched at all. I usually am really flexible at what we do with my hair and generally like to give hair artists somewhat of some freedom to do what they think best.. So much so that if an artist is not comfortable with doing a specific type of hair style, finding something that's easy for them and complimentary to me until I can find an artist who can execute what im looking for. Again, maybe I'm at fault for not better explaining what I was looking for but I hope this helps for constructive criticism of what I received read more

Marcela is amazing. My hair has never looked better I had black hair before and wanted to go light. Was scared bc my hair is not the easiest to color bc it's course, dark, curly...most hairstylist mess it up or get overwhelmed but she didn't. She's is magic :) I'm so happy to find my new hairstylist in my new town. Thank you. Getting ton of compliments today!! read more

My sons have been going to Miguel for haircuts for two years. He is reliable and professional.

There is a large parking garage just across the street from the building Escobar Salon is in so it is easy to find parking. read more

I was lucky to find this Salon and Miguel a couple of years ago when I moved to Sacramento. I have thick, mostly straight hair with a few waves and it has a mind of its own. Miguel is one of the few hair stylists who was able to tame it into a manageable and wonderful haircut. I now get compliments all the time! His salon is warm and friendly and his prices are very reasonable. If you are looking for a great salon, you have found the right place! read more

Miguel is great! His salon was big spacious and clean and it felt very welcoming. I highly recommend!

A great haircut with a friendly smile. Miguel has been cutting my hair for several years now. He knows how to best cut my hair and always does so with great conversation and some laughs. I drive up to Sacramento from San Francisco to see him. read more

Went to get a haircut for my daughter. He did such an amazing job! We are very pleased! He's a hair magician! I made an appointment for myself for next time! read more

So I just had my first haircut done by Miguel today. And I have to say that the reviews are so true! Miguel is a genuine and down-to-earth guy. I would totally come back the next time I need my haircut. Also a note, he recently just moved locations! You'll find his studio inside upstairs on the second floor. Just look for suite 200; the sign wasn't listed yet BUT it will be soon! His new studio is beautiful but still in progress. read more

I hope this corona virus has kept him in town. I thought about him the other day and I pray he didn't leave. I have course l, curly, wild hair and he is the only person I've ever met than can tame my locks. I have been to many different ethnicities women and i always left feeling unhappy. Not with Miguel. I felt like singing west side story. I will never go back to anyone else. My hair has never felt so great. He also recommended I cut more off than I wanted to and I did reluctantly. It was a great decision. I honestly can't say enough about this experience. I took a Pantene commercial style video but I can't post it. It maybe on his IG if you're interested. read more

Like a lot of others I care how my hair looks and I know it is difficult to find someone to cut your hair the way you want. I've been lucky in San Francisco, LA and Austin find hairstylist who cut my hair the way I like and was able to go to them for years. For the 3 years I've been in Sacramento I've been unlucky in that I've tried a number recommended stylist and the best I could do was almost acceptable. I tried Miguel four weeks ago when he was in a temporary location and it is the first time I got a good haircut in Sacramento. Miguel informed me when I have my hair cut last time that it was moving to his qown location and would be there soon. I have to say I was astonished today when I entered his new salon which is an incredible place to get your hair cut in a light filled room overlooking K St. and see and feel all the new wonderful energy there I've been able to make regular appointment and I am lucky again in regards to having a great place and a wonderful stylist to do my hair read more

The best experience I've ever had! Miguel was super knowledge and took his time! Everything was great and I have 0 complaints! Not only was he able to squeeze me in last minute but he was able to fix my terrible haircut that I got the day before and completely made my day! He's a literal angel and I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Haircut was exactly what I asked for and I appreciated the advice but lack of shaming about coloring my own roots. I parked in the Plaza garage where there are lots of shops that can validate. I will definitely be back! read more

Miguel cut my hair for over 5 years when he was located in San Francisco. He always knew exactly how to cut my hair without me having to remind him and when I did a "touch of color" it was very natural looking. No one really noticed. :) Super friendly and always full of great conversation and a really good listener too. read more

Great haircut and still looking good a few weeks in. I'll definitely be back! My thin fine hair can be tricky to manage and style, so it really needs an expert cut. Miguel gave my hair a nice shape with clean lines and a little layering. The salon is in a cool second floor space overlooking bustling K Street and you may get to meet Chino, Miguel's friendly canine sidekick! Next visit, I'll plan to schedule right before happy hour or a night out so I can explore the downtown nightlife looking great! Thanks, Miguel! read more

Great location and great Haircut! Btw the salon is on the 2nd floor. Just go up the stairs and make a right for suite 200. Salon is on the right hand side. read more

Tried Miguel today after a long spell without a hair cut. Miguel gave me a thoughtful precision cut, fixed my own botched trimming, and made me feel like I was important to him. He was warm, very careful with each snip of the scissors, and gave me a new, sassy look. He especially paid attention to the fall of my salt and pepper hair to highlight the best aspects of having it show off the natural color of it. And that at HALF the price of my former stylist' I look forward to seeing him again. read more

Returned my message for an appointment in a timely manner, and did a fantastic job trimming my hair (mens medium length hair). Was extremely helpful with tips on hair care, and his studio was clean/inviting (especially important because of COVID, I was never uncomfortable). He was really nice as well. Will definitely come back! read more

Funny and great guy to conversate with, but most importantly does an amazing job in getting me the hair I desire!

I absolutely love this Salon!!! Miguel not only makes me feel beautiful, but he also does my hair. He's done an amazing job following Covid regulations and protocol, making me feel safe and comfortable in the salon read more

I LOVE this salon! I have been going to a salon in the same section of downtown for years and thought that salon was great. I followed my stylist/colorist Tracy from the previous location to here. She is WORTH every penny I pay and THIS salon just feels elegant. Miguel has decorated this salon to please customers.

Miguel took my appointment pretty last minute and I really appreciate that. The haircut was quick but not rushed, and he asked questions to make sure he was cutting exactly how I wanted.

My daughters finally noticed the difference in my hair and wants to copy it.. thanks Miguel!

He is so amazing at getting the exact style you want! He knows how to do hair and helps you play with different styles to really find your shape. I asked for some curtain bangs and he framed my face to perfection! If you want a short cut he's the best person to go to! read more

Miguel is awesome! He really took his time on my hair to made sure it comes out exactly how I wanted it. He's also a great listener and conversationalist. Had a great time getting my hair cut. Thank you Miguel! read more

Can I just tell you how exciting it is to have your hair cut by someone with skill who uses scissors and doesn't rely on a #2 guard clipper? Miguel is kind, he's funny, his price point is excellent, but most importantly, he knows what he's doing and takes his time doing it. He's gained a new client in me and I will definitely be going back again and again. read more

I had such a great experience at Miguel's Beautiful Salon. He is insightful about hair and takes the time to talk with his clients about what would be best for them. The salon itself is gorgeous, open and inviting. The sound of the train rolling by and the charm of the building is delightful. Miguel is so kind, a wonderful host and Hair Dresser. He made me feel at home, offered me tea and gave me great recommendations of where to have lunch after my appointment with him. I am pleased with my cut, he gave my wavy hair life again and I've gotten so many complements. Best Salon in Sacramento, couldn't beat the price! read more

Miguel does my color and also has mad scissor skills. He is a great listener and really worked with me to create the look I wanted. His new salon is light and bright, and he serves tea, too! read more

I still love Miguel and highly recommend him. I've been seeing him since 2008 (!!!) and I am so sad to hear that he is moving to Sacramento. Miguel knows hair. Period. His listens to my requests and tells me if I'm being a little too crazy. ;) He understands color too. I get complimented all of the time on my highlights. He is reasonably priced and very fun to work with! Also, I just got married and had Miguel do my up-do for my wedding. It turned out great. I got so many compliments on it! I normally have very fine, very flat hair. In 90 minutes, Miguel turned my hair into a gorgeous up-do with body that lasted over 16 hours! Love you, Miguel. Keep me informed when your work brings you back to SF for random weekends! read more

I looked all over Yelp looking for a place to get my hair done, I usually go to my friend to get a highlights and haircut, but he left town and moved out . Im very particular when it comes to my hair, it took me a while many months. Then I found Miguel here on Yelp, he cut my hair, highlights and base color, I was soooo....amazed very impressed about the result. He was meticulous and patient. He treated my hair very gently. I love the way he cuts, colored and highlighted my hair...my husband liked it very much. I will definitely return to him on my next hair and color/highlight and I will highly recommend him to all my family and friends. read more

Escobar Salon - Great job Miguel - Hair Stylists Near Me - Sacramento, California

Miguel is your go to hair stylist! I highly recommend him if you want an excellent haircut. He is not only skilled, is charming, has a sense of humor & most of all a very pleasing personality! Thank you for my new do, Miguel, am looking forward to seeing you again! read more

I'm really picky with who I let cut my hair, but with my barber moving out of town and with me growing my hair long for the first time ever, I was in need for more than just a barber. I went in very hesitant and looking for just a consultation, and came out with a really great haircut! Miguel made me feel really comfortable, as it was very clear he knew what he was talking about. I had no idea what I wanted or needed to do, and Miguel immediately knew what would be best. He took the time to explain why he suggested what he did, and did exactly what he offered. I will definitely be going back to see him! read more

Love this guy!! Just visited him for the 1st time today. He listened to what I wanted and built from that. Super friendly and fun to talk to. I'm a firm believer that you need to have a good relationship with your barber/stylist and he did not disappoint. Beyond that, the hair cut was amazing!! Last but not least, the layout and view at his salon makes it super relaxing. Will be back for sure!! read more

Miguel is a nice person and we had really good conversation, but my highlights its not really good. The lines are not clean. I have some parts full of highlights and other part nothing! Also my front and bottom of my hair are different shades of highlights. read more

I've been going to Miguel since I stumbled into his chair in the Marina years ago. As most of us do, I like to consider myself fairly low maintenance in the hair department. My request is beyond simple: reasonably short length, no crazy styles (soccer mullets, faux hawks, spikes), accuracy and consistency. My biggest challenge has always been the last concept - consistency. It is beyond annoying when the length and shape keeps changing. Especially for going into work, I do not want a 'high and tight!" I know it will grow out, but I do not want to look like I just came back from boot camp when I go back to work. And don't think I don't know when you are trying to be creative with your little faux hawk by cutting a little too much off the top of each side, or getting a little too crazy with the disheveled spikes. I know it must suck with people like me making uncreative requests, but I will let you put gel in my hair for the mold of your choice as I leave - it just has to get back to normal right after. No, Miguel performs to exact specifications each time! And, while I am sure this is boring and annoying, I respect that he keeps notes on the details so we don't have to go through the dance each time. He uses scissors primarily so I don't have to worry about showing too much skin. like an overdressed child with a once-a-summer buzz cut. read more

Miguel is fantastic! I have this funky hair that always seemed to go in all directions. After I see Miguel it not only looks great but it also stays looking great. A certified hair magician. read more
