What top notch service from Kevin the moment you walk in to his Salon. His Salon is clean and so well decorated. He takes pride in everything he does. We started with a great informative consultation with so much detail. Love it! I went in for a Cut and Basic color. Kevin does what your hair needs! The Hair Treatment to my box color hair was amazing and still is! While the treatment was doing its magic, he gave me a hot towel treatment around my neck...and a little bit of ahhhhh. I love my cut and the color we chose was a Mahogany. It's lovely. My hair looks and feels amazing. It's not just Kevin Michael Salon. It's an experience!

Kevin Michael Salon - I love my Hair Color and Cut! - Hair Salons Near Me - Antelope , California

See all

What a long overdue review! Today marks twelve years going to this talented stylist and gifted colorist and he well-deserves these five stars. I first found him when I was looking for help correcting a hideous color job from another salon and he definitely rescued me! Kevin Michael, even after all these years gives a thoughtful consultation before he starts working. He has a commitment to continuous education to keep fresh, modern and is an educator to other experienced stylists as well. His memory for names, faces and situations is uncanny and every time I go to the salon it's like seeing an old friend. He is very mindful of a clients time and as a result, you are always in the chair promptly with the beverage of your choice... I leave feeling beautiful and confident every time! read more

Kevin Michael Salon - haircut with long layer - Hair Salons Near Me - Antelope , California

Just had my first cut at this salon and it was a great experience! Kelli is very warm and welcoming. My hair looks great and I really appreciated the awesome scalp massage during the wash! Thank you! read more

Kevin Michael Salon is WICKED wonderful!!! A long long time ago there was a girl, who had just received a promotion at work, with long-unstylish-bad hair. One day, as she admired her friend's hair, she asked, "Friend, where oh where do you get your's done?" To her surprise, the friend described a magical salon that could transform her into this other person; into this professional woman she envisioned. Behind all the magic her friend dropped the hint of this mysterious man named Kevin Michael. This girl we speak of knew she HAD to meet him. Fast forward nearly 4 years, many amazing hair cuts, and the move to RED HAIR...the girl is extremely happy!!! I constantly get asked who does my color and where do I get my hair done. I have referred many people to the salon and no one has left unhappy regardless of who does their hair! Kevin is brilliant and runs a clean, fun, lively establishment. Why haven't you scheduled an apt. yet?!?! It is so easy... love them x1000 read more

I only lived in Sac for a year, but even after having lived in LA, NYC, Paris and SF, I can honestly say that Kelli is the ONLY person who has ever cut my hair where I've always left 100% happy with the result. Honestly, Kelli is one of the things I miss most about Sac. read more

Words can't describe how thankful I am to have found Kevin. I live in Roseville but gladly make the drive to Sacramento to see him. He's a genius with color and cuts my hair unlike anything I've ever experienced before. His care and products have transformed my hair. Plus, he's a blast to spend a few hours with. He has a heart of gold and a wicked sense of humor. If you're looking for a new hairdresser, look no further. 6 gold stars. read more

I can easily give Kevin Michael 5 stars. Since I've been giving myself haircuts (if you consider shaving your head a haricut) for the past 5 years, I'm not too familiar with the hair styling/ hair care industry. Both Kevin Michael and Kelli made this visit a comfortable and very enjoyable experience. I recieved an amazing haircut and mane control at an afforable price and the atmosphere was fantastic. I can honestly say that I'll never take clippers to my own head again. I have found where I want my hair to be done. Thank you so much! My girlfriend now loves my hair and can't keep her hands off of me! read more

Danielle is fairly new to Kevin Michael and she is fantastic! I was greeted on time and we had a discussion about my hair and what I wanted to do. I showed her a few pics and then we headed to shampoo. Amazing! Shampoo with a steam towel and scalp massage. She is very friendly and knowledgeable. My hair turned out perfect, I truly looked just like the pic I showed her. Reasonably priced as well, especially for what you get. I will be back! read more

Kevin Michael Salon - These products are yummy! - Hair Salons Near Me - Antelope , California

I just got my hair done this week at Kevin Michael Salon for the first time. The salon is great, comfortable and the staff was so nice. It was refreshing being in a place that they made you feel like "one of the family". I went in with an idea of what I wanted and what I didn't and gave my head over to stylist Lindsey and she did a great job! Honestly was better than I was even thinking, it was perfect. I have only had it done for 3 days and have been stopped by at least 5 people asking where I got my hair done, and without hesitation I made the referral!! I will definitely be going back and am thinking of trying some of there other service too! read more

They do amazing work! Danielle did a great job with my hair! The shop is so nice warm and comforting will definitely be going back! They make you feel like you're one of the family! It was non stop laughing in there with my stylist, the owner and other clients! Thank you Danielle for being amazing at your job and thank you Kevin for your salon! They are a must go to! Never had such a good time getting my hair done! read more

Kevin Michael Salon - New hair do! Amazing transformation! Love my hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Antelope , California

AMAZING! I walked by Kevin Michael Salon almost everyday and i always seen amazing work being done, one day i decided i need to call and make an appointment to fix my jacked up hair. I got a call back almost immediately, Kelli took me in that day and as soon as i took a step in the salon i felt so confortable. Kelli takes so much pride in what she does and it shows in her work. I love my hair! I love the time i spend in the salon! After years of not so great colors and cuts, ive found my STYLIST AND I LOVE HER! read more

So I have never spent more than $15 on a haircut in my life. I usually go to those lovely Super/Trend Cuts and/or Great Clips, or something of the same mediocre quality. But I wanted something new with my hair, and I didn't want some random person to fuck it up. So I decided to go to this joint, and I'm glad I did. Now, granted I don't have much experience with nicer salons, but this one was great. My hair was done by Seth Parker, and he did a great job. The price was acceptable to me, $30. And for the amount of time he spent on it, it should have cost more. You can make an appointment online which I loved. I hate talking on the phone to make an appointment, so the online booking was great. The salon is nice. Not located in the best place, but it was nice. I think they should just pick it up and plop it in midtown, but that's really me being too picky. The shampoo and scalp massage is fan-freakin-tastic. LOVED IT! And my hair looks great. I will have to get used to my new style, but it will be fun. So, yes, I do plan to go back. Even though it's more than I'm used to spending, I think it's worth it. So check them out if you're feeling stuck in a hair rut and tired of crappy salons. read more

OK, so I have been getting my hair done at KMS for about a year now, and there are probably 467 reasons why I love, love, love love it. First and foremost, my hair looks great. I see Rachel Aston and she does an absolutely fabulous job. My hair has never been healthier, and I feel like she actually listens when I tell her what I want -- oh, and she gives the world's BEST scalp massage when she shampoos. I haven't had my hair done by Kevin, but I have seen his work and it always looks amazing, too. I also love the atmosphere. It's a small salon, but I love that about it. Reading over these reviews, I have noticed that some people have commented on the location. Is the building itself the trendiest or newest? No. But, they have done a great job decorating it on the inside, and the products/ appliances they use are just as good as anything you will find in the more expensive midtown salons. Plus, it's located right on the border of Land Park & Midtown, so it's super convenient for those of us who live in Land Park/ Pocket. Oh, and another bit about convenience -- you can book appointments ONLINE! I love that. But, as always, it really comes down to the people. It took me over a year after moving here from SoCal to find a place where I felt comfortable with the atmosphere and the prices. Twice I went to one of the big salons in midtown (I won't mention names but it starts with an "M", ends with a "C" and cost me $300 for a highlight and cut before tip), before realizing that I could actually fly down to San Diego and get my hair done there for what that place was charging. Rachel's prices are much more reasonable, and I don't feel like I'm on parade at the hipster club while under foils. All in all, I completely love KMS. I cannot recommend highly enough. read more

I was introduced to Kevin through a very trusted, known, and talented industry professional in LA nearly 10 years ago. As I traveled back home to the Sacramento area often, and he came highly recommended, I thought I'd give him a try--and I am not someone to trust easily right away, especially with my hair. But I was so impressed with not only the end result, but with Kevin, too. His personality is infectious and it's clear that he not only loves what he does, but is damn good at it, too. Over the years, I've lived in various parts of the world, finding local stylists wherever I was--but I always came back to Kevin. After going to high-end salons in LA, NYC, London, and SF, I've never found anyone I liked more (as a person and as a result) as Kevin. So much so, that I currently drive several hours just to get my hair cut by him on a regular basis. And because of all of that, I've built a relationship with Kevin that goes beyond just a stylist, to a dear friend. I never thought when I first got my hair cut by him, that I'd actually get a great friend out of it, too. And while I've never had the experience of Kelli cutting my hair, she's just as personable and funny--making the environment of the salon that much better. The people that I've heard go to her swear by her, as well. I highly recommend Kevin Michael Salon. I've liked him so much I've been coming here for nearly 10 years, and will continue to do so for the many years to come. read more

Oh Kevin Michael, I wish I knew how to quit you. Me and the husband were loyal Kevin Michael customers for the 7 years we lived in Sacramento, following him from salon to salon until he finally opened his own place (yeah!). Well, we moved to SoCal two years ago...and we still travel to Sacramento twice a year, specifically to get haircuts from Kevin Michael. Why go to all that trouble? Well, Kevin never disappoints; he is thorough, dependable, creative, accommodating and warm. He has become a true friend who can always make us laugh, even during trying times. Plus, he started cutting my daughter's hair when she was just 7 months old; I trust NO ONE else with her long tresses. And she loves him just as much as we do. In short, Kevin MIchael is worth every penny we spend and every mile we drive. You won't be disappointed. read more

The salon is cute, tucked up inside a little victorian, you get a relaxing scalp massage and a warm towel to go under your neck. I used to go to Holly Pinto when she worked here and here attention to detail on cuts was amazing. I always got compliments on my hair after seeing her. Plus she is the sister of this guy I went to middle school with AND she's really nice, and not 'too' chatty if you know what I mean. read more

Simply stated: Windy is amazing! Professional, wonderful personality, and amazing esthetician! Her waxing is precise and near pain free. Her facials are divine! Relaxing, soothing, cleansing and habit forming. She sold me a clarisonic and now I won't wash my face any other way! Windy is a little piece of heaven in downtown Sacramento. Thank you! read more

I JUST came back from Kevin Michael Salon for a cut. Summer was my stylist, and she is AMAZING! The prices are great for a salon with such talented stylists. She washed, cut and styled. I'm the kinda person that will literally cry over a bad haircut for weeks, and I told Summer of my fears. She gave me the best cut with long layers I've ever had. I was referred to her by my girlfriend, after she and her mom both got great cuts....so i know she's consistently awesome. The products they use are great, and unlike all other salons, they don't try to put a gun to your head to force you to buy them after they use them on you. Love that. The salon is super cute. To those people whining about the location not being in midtown, I'd rather have a cute salon with cheaper rent (meaning better prices for us customers). Unlike midtown, there is PLENTY of non-metered parking right out front. Next I'm trying their spa services (wax/facials) because your first visit is half off! Doesn't get any better than KMS! read more

Kelli: best men's cut I've had. Smart. Great service. Great price. Great advice. Lovely person. Wish I lived in Sac. I'd come here all the time. read more

It is my pleasure to give a 5 star review on The Kevin Michael Salon & Staff. The salon was Amazing and vey clean. All health care protocols were spot on and made me feel safe. I left a message yesterday afternoon, within 24 hours I had a response. Kelly was my stylist, she provided a thorough consultation, and determined what was my best color and highlights that would work. Both Kevin and she are ultimate professionals. My hair is very curly and full and she was right on target in her assessment. Their expertise and concern for me being satisfied is beyond immeasurable. Thank you again, See you for my next color and highlights in January. read more

woo hoo, needed a walk-in haircut on a saturday afternoon when my salon was closed. My man says "let's try that salon on 15th over by Tower Theater." I walk in and am promptly greeted by Kevin himself. Ask if they have any walk-in times available, he checks the computer, asks me politely to wait a sec while he checks with a stylist, and books me for an appt with Angie w/in the hour. He asks if I'd like to stay and wait, offered me coffee or tea, but i boogied on home and came back an hour later. Angie is awesome. Got my hair washed and cut in a diagonal cut, short in the back exactly how i wanted it. The salon was fun, the chitter chatter was not personal, in fact some of the ladies in and out sounded really happy with the salon. Like they have made a really good personal connection with the styleists. I will be back! Thanks Kevin Michael salon for snagging me up as another loyal customer. read more

Kevin Michael's Salon knows how to make you feel at home. The Salon: The salon is the perfect size with a warm and welcoming ambiance. You're always welcomed with a smile, a place for your coat and purse and a cup of coffee (if you want one). The Eufora hair products they sell and use are amazing. I love that Kevin chose salon/hair products that are "green" and don't test on animals. Location: I don't mind the (sorta new) location really. It's close to the freeway and within walking distance to Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Tower Cafe and Target. Kevin and crew: I love the people here. The salon is always full of happy people telling jokes. Even the customers are friendly and fun to joke around with. Your hair cut comes with an amazing shampoo/head massage/warm towel and styling. It's nice. If you have to change your appointment, they get you in as soon as possible. I've never had issues with changing my appointments. Kevin knows how to make your hair work. If you aren't happy with the color or cut, he's more than happy to work with you to get it how you want it. Kevin has a happy and easy to talk to personality. I have been a loyal customer for the past 7 years because Kevin Michael cares. Having a warm/welcoming place and friend to go to for a hair cut and color is a really nice thing to have.... especially when it's your only "me" time. read more

I've been coming to KMS since Fall of 07......back when they were still on 16th Street behind Ernesto's. I miss that location :( I like the new location too but it's on the other side of the bridge. Us midtown people don't like going anywhere pass the bridge lol. The new location is smaller but cozy. All the stylists are in one room not like the old location where they had different rooms and 2 stylists per room. KMS is a fun place and a very chill environment......most hair salons are not. They offer all kind of services here... Haircut, Hair-coloring, Styling, Facials, Waxing, Make-Up, and they even have a retail store inside (hair products/face creams/lotion). They currently have 3 Stylists on staff...my fav is Mr. Kevin Michael himself. He's very nice and he talks A LOT lol. Which is great because he makes my time there very enjoyable...and I spend a lot of time there. He's really good at what he does. Just tell him what you want and he will work his magic on your hair. The things that man can do with scissors. I'm really difficult when it comes to my hair. When I walk into the Salon I have a certain haircut that I want in my mind. Post haircut...if I don't like that cut on me Kevin Michael would not hestitate to give me a different cut without charging any extra fees. His prices are reasonable compared to other salons around the downtown/midtown area. My last haircut was back in May when I went in to get my hair chopped off for Locks of Love. Kevin Michael took $5 off my haircut because I was donating it. Heart him! If you want to book an appt with Kevin Michael make sure you call about 2-3 weeks in advance. He's a very busy man. If you can't wait 2-3 weeks ask the receptionist to put your name on the waiting list and most of the time he'll get a cancellation or 2 and will get you in sooner. read more

This review is not so much for the salon, although it is quaint, but most certainly for the superstar genius hairstylist, Elly Kubota. She is a hair goddess walking amongst us, a muse for the hipster hair styles that speckle the midtown streets, a dependable beacon of hope for all those who are lost. I can't rave enough about her. I have been going to Elly for almost 4 years now, with the exception of last year since I moved to Portland. I have followed her career to 3 different midtown salons. Since moving to Portland I have experienced two of the most awful cuts ever, and seem to run into the same fate over and over. Most hairstylists just don't listen. They see your hair as they want to and not as you have so long imagined it. After those awful experiences I said no more. I will never ever go to any other hairstylist as long as I live. No amount of desperation will force me astray again. I came back to Elly recently and she performed a hair miracle. I feel like me again. Now if this review seems a bit shallow and dramatic, so be it. I, however, value the relief and confidence that a good haircut can do for the soul. Prices here run around $50-$60 for a cut and that includes the most amazing scalp massage and wash, cut, and a great style (especially for those of us blessed with curly hair, she's a pro at blowing out those curls). read more

Kevin Michael Salon is the BEST. Kelli Manes is excellent. We discussed what I wanted in hair style. She listened and I went from long to short hair and it is exactly what I have wanted for years. So easy to take care of and I won't go anywhere else. Kelli does a great head massage while shampooing your hair. I'm looking forward to next visit. Friendly atmosphere, very clean, prices reasonable. What more could anyone want? To go anywhere else, you are wasting your time. Kevin is a sweetheart and only has the best stylist. read more

I was looking for a new aesthetician in my neighborhood. I found a review of Windy (yes, Windy not Wendy) on Yelp and gave it a try. She is...incredible. A 75 minute facial with Windy is everything a facial should be. I didn't think I could find anyone as good as Elizabeth at LaBelle Stanford in Palo Alto, but Windy is incredible. She is very skilled, makes my skin glow and includes a fantastic massage amidst the other traditional facial components. The only negative has nothing to do with Windy, but the hair salon noise, conversation and music does tend to compete with the relaxing music in Windy's facial room. I tend to overlook this, mainly because I am pretty much almost asleep at many points throughout the facial as it is so relaxing. Thank you Windy! read more

Kevin Michael transformed my hair 8 years ago and i have never looked back.. hands down best salon in sacramento and anywhere else as far as im concerned... love them! Cut color anf full experience A+++ read more

Kelli is the Queen of Hair Color! She mixes up the colors and turns my ash brown and gray hair into a deep auburn with violet under tones that is so rich I get frequent compliments on the color from strangers. She is also funny and sweet. I look forward to seeing her and Kevin every five weeks. read more

Best salon in Sacramento HANDS DOWN great atmosphere great people great vibes .. They make everyone feel equal and at home . *highly recommend read more

Where are more stars when you need them?! I'd give ten. Seriously. Number one: I've never been moved to write a review on Yelp. Number two: I live in Portland and wait to get my haircut until I'm in Sacto JUST so I can stick with Kevin! (I used to live here.) I tried finding a new stylist but NOTHING compares once you've seen Kevin! I also noticed Leah transform a 'bad dye job' from another salon and though I haven't had a cut with her, clearly she's gotten some 'Kevin magic' just by being around him! What makes Kevin so fantastic is not just his skill. He CARES. He takes his time and isn't satisfied until he's clear that he can walk home knowing that he did a great job and gave the customer his full attention. That's something you can feel. I've never been to anyone else like him and hope not to ever have to! You won't regret it if you go. And, be sure to book far in advance ... word is getting out that he's fantastic and last I heard he was booked out until August! read more

The review and stars are for my last visit, as previous experiences were good. Sorry to read from another review that Holly is gone, I went to her a couple times and she did a good job. This last time, it was a last minute thing for me, so I just asked for anyone who was available. They gave me three options with the only person available. Should have been a clue. It was in the afternoon and dude was real busy making plans for the evening and chatting with other customers (which I don't mind at all, I am there for a hair cut, not to make a friend). Seemed nice enough, but then things got weird. He asked if I wanted my hair blown out, and I said that wasn't necessary (cause he clearly had stuff to do and I always go home from getting my hair blown out to wet it down to get rid of the excessive pouffiness). He kind of seemed to lose his stride at that point. He did blow part of it, said it was necessary to cutting it (area around my face) and moments later said we were done. It was rather abrupt. Now, I should have been more careful and inspected more (I was relaxing and spacing out while he was cutting), but I guess what he did was just stop cutting my hair right in the middle. Within a couple days it looked like I hadn't gotten a cut at all, except a couple things stuck out funny. I went elsewhere the next week and the woman cutting me said that the back had "holes" where someone started layering, but maybe didn't finish, or just layered tons in one spot and not at all in another, very inconsistent. I don't think he cut around my face much at all. Hey, maybe the guy is awesome and just had a bad day. If anyone knows where Holly went I would like to know! edit, just want to mention that wasn't my only experience, and everyone has have a distracted hour at work a few times. I'm sure if I'd gone back and said "dude, wtf?" it would have been cool. went four times, and they are 3-1. read more

AWESOME!!!! My husband has been going here for a few years now, and when I moved to the area I tagged along with him...Soooo glad I did! I am really picky with who touches my hair - I went to the same hairdresser for 16 years and refused to go anywhere else, even after I moved out of area. Then I moved countries and couldn't go there any more, so I let my hair grow, and grow and grow. Flash forward a few years later and my hair was down to my butt. When I first started going to Kevin, all I wanted him to do (I'm sure much to his dismay) was to trim the ends. I had gotten very attached to my long mane and wasn't ready to do anything with it that resulted in losing more than half an inch. He somehow managed to make it look great, even by just taking the bare minimum off of it. Then one day, I decided enough was enough, and decided to get it cut for real. Despite my big decision, I was still pretty nervous about getting it shorter, but Kevin was fantastic about it and made me fee totally at ease. He then proceeded to give me an fantastic below shoulder cut, which I was in love with - despite holding 15 inches of hair in my hand ( I donated it). I live in San Jose and work in San Francisco, so could go to any number of highly rated salons, but I refuse to. I (and my husband) are more than happy to travel from here to Sac just to get our hair cut with Kevin. Also, not only is he an amazing stylist, he is also just a great guy. Funny, sweet and so creative. And I couldn't finish this review without mentioning miss Kelly too - whilst I have not had my hair cut by her, I have had it washed by her and witnessed her work, which is also awesome - as is she! So, in short, do yourself a favor and get over to the salon - you won't regret it!! read more

Kevin Michael's did my sister's wedding, and did an amazing job on myself, my sister, and her bridal party. I would recommend this salon to anyone! If I lived in Sacramento, I would visit this salon frequently. The staff are extremely friendly and they do excellent work! read more

Windy, your amazing. Every time i come to have a facial or waxing service done, I feel so comfortable. I appreciate the thoroughness you have, when working on my face. I am so grateful to have met you Windy. You give me hope that my skin is & will be better. I feel more confident because of my complexion today & I am told by many that my skin is looking amazing. People actually tell me i look smoother & well rested. So, to my future, i believe i will look as good as i feel. thanks again my friend. Love everything you do. Muah! Kurtis read more

I've been a client at Kevin Michael salon for a number of years. I can honestly say my expectations have always been exceeded. Kevin and Kelli are true professionals who provide great service in a comfortable, casual, and fun environment. They truly care about their clients satisfaction and go the extra mile to prove it. read more

Kevin Michael Salon has moved to 2405 15th Street (next to Miyamoto Travel) and they are remaining awesome by dressing up like the different stages of Madonna for Halloween. My stylist is going to be Cone Madonna. Don't go for second best, bay bay! read more

After trying to find a local salon for my son's back to school hair cut, I settled on this one because of the other Yelp reviews. We weren't disappointed. First of all, we were greeted with great warmth immediately by both the owner and the other staff person there. Even the client in the owner's chair was nice! We had to wait a few minutes for Rachael to arrive, but we were a few minutes early too. Rachael was super nice as she tried to both accomodate what "mom" wanted and what the "client" may want. She totally communicated to his level and made him comfortable. He is still talking about his first "salon shampoo". He got a great cut at a high service level (but not crazy salon pricing). Highly recommend. read more

Kevin is the most creative and thoughtful hairstylist I know. Best in Sacramento! When I started going to Kevin's years ago, he transformed my hairstyle and matched it to my looks and personality. Going to Kevin is not just getting your hair done, it's an event. read more
