Gillian A.

You don't know how happy I was to finally schedule a haircut appointment after being fully vaccinated (my hair was heading towards hip-length, eep). I scheduled for Angie as she seems to be one of the more popular hairdressers here (at least the most name-dropped). She's definitely a popular choice because on my appointment date she was 1 hour behind schedule. She was very apologetic though and despite the slight inconvenience (good thing I didn't have anything planned right after the appointment) I was impressed on how thorough she still was throughout my appointment. For example, I've never had such a long shampooing session at a salon before this time; I almost fell asleep with all of the complimentary head massaging. Anyway, as for my haircut I asked for a cut of several inches as well as some re-layering. My end-result hair looked fine at the salon when my hair was fully straightened. However, my hair is naturally wavy (she noticed this as well after my hair dried at the salon) and after a hair wash and hair air-drying at home, I noticed some parts of my hair with unnaturally-looking blunt ends. They're not too noticeable from afar and I'm just hoping that they will be less prevalent as my hair re-grows. Never had this issue from previous hair dressers I've had also for hair re-layering. Overall, Angie is a very sweet, patient lady but can be a bit prone to overbooking appointments. Also, would recommend showing her a photo of the haircut that you want for safe measure.

Located in a plaza called Founders Landing on Whitelock and Atkins. Women's hair cut $30 I made an appointment for a trim. The salon is no frills, standard strip mall type of place.. No shampoo.. i sat in the designated chair and told my stylist what I wanted and she got to work. No small talk and I like that. I didn't even get her name. She flat ironed my hair and cut in sections with the occasional spray of water. They didn't have a receptionist so every time the phone rang my stylist or the other would leave their client to answer the phone. I'm happy with the cut but the test, I think, is always how it looks when it grows out and it has been about a month and the cut is growing out well..

This is my third time coming here and Angie never fails to deliver what I want :D I showed her these two pictures and she cut my hair exactly how I was envisioning! It was $30 but I gave her $40 because of how much I love my hair Side note: I appreciate how Angie never cuts shorter than what I ask for! In my past experience, whenever I ask for a certain length, they usually cut it shorter than what I want. I can always trust Angie though :)

Angie did a great job with my haircut!

I knew that I made an excellent choice when I found Angie! She listens carefully to my wants and needs. Sometimes, she also gives kind suggestions of what she thinks would suit better for my hair type etc. I am so glad that I've given her suggestions a try! Lately, my hair has been very dry due to the hard water at my house. I tried a hot oil treatment and now my hair is moisturized, bouncy, and silky! I found out recently that there are bundle deals. It will depend on the thickness and length of your hair. My hair is a little longer than my shoulders and it's not too thick. A hot oils treatment costs $50 for me. Also, a regular hair cut usually cost $20 for my hair length. With the bundle deal, a hot oil treatment was $50 and my hair cut was DISCOUNTED to only $10! YAAAAYYYYYY to saving $10! I love coming here to see Angie. Modern Beauty will have a forever customer-ME! I hope this info helps! Xoxo.

Called today to see if there were any walk in spots. My hair was WAY over due for a cut for over 6mos. Thanks yelpers. The reviews for this place seemed to be all over the place. I came just for a cut not Color. Place is clean, quiet. This seems like its Vietnamese owned? Mostly Asian customers today (Female). Angie took me. Very friendly. She did a dry cut. -I showed her some pix of long layers -she asked me how much I wanted to cut off.. i needed about 2-3 inches.. after getting some Blonde in my hair over 8 mos ago.. -she went to work. -30-40 min later and 19.00 bucks i was a Happy camper. Id come come back again for a trim! What a deal! Gave her a nice tip.

Terri did hair color violet red ,trimming, air treatment .She did a great job and such a good customer service. My husband loved my hairstyle

I went here because the review was really good & my mother in-law fav salon. My hair was really straight & I don't like that much, so I decide to do permanent curl. I'm really happy the result plus alot of people telling me it looks nice. A day after the treatment I felt stinging & itchiness behind my neck ( picture uploaded). I do research the procedure/process for permanent curl & I was ... she did not apply lotion in my skin! She just rolled up a towel over plastic around my neck before she start. About 30mins she rinsed my hair. I asked her if I can have other towel to cover my ears & wipes the water dripping all over my back, my left side pant was wet too. She was in a hurry since she have few customers waiting. I just want others to be aware & preventing this to happened again.

Tina no longer works here. I goto Mindy now. Who cuts my hair perfectly in the faded Asian hair…read morethat sticks up like a microphone. Sounds funny, but eh, at least I don't have the mushroom top head look. My thick hair and the cut I want is not an easy hair cut to do. The description sounds funny, but with gel it's a clean military look or akin to school kids going to grade school. Not my thing but, the maturity aura can be fixed with longer hair on top. Believe the best way to say is it that I have a heart shaped face. That means the top of my hair should look like an egg to my preference. The haircut I want isn't for the faint. Mess up and you cannot fix it. It's why most fades on my hair type sticks out and is not flat on the sides like a flat top. Once Mindy understood I was willing to take the risk, I was rewarded in something that many hairdressers cannot cut and or is willing to do. Which is to fade free hand, then rat tail comb fade the edges on top with a clipper and texture with scissors. Mind you I watched a long time before giving her the go ahead to take the risk. Sounds a lot of work right? Hair dressers will complain doing this type of cut. It's a lot of work, will take time. Mindy does this for me. And for that I tip well. To be fair, I get my hair cut once a month. But it's usually the best way to learn as the hair has grown out and everything needs to be redone again. Note. Tip what you can, I usually tip hourly wage max to half. Mindy gets more, that's how much I like the cut. 15 to 25 percent minimum wage is a good tip. That being said Mindy takes time, is patient, and remembers you. Everything you would want in a hairdresser. I really should come every two weeks but I got things to do. Mindy does textbook style hair cutting. Which doesn't work with my hair cause you don't really expect an Asian with an Afro like hair type, thick, and straight. Takes time to learn cultured hair types. My hair is a rarity. Mindy learned quickly how to cut and tame it. Qualities of a true hair dresser. Note. I got my hair cut by Lynn too. She's good, but she's busy and I believe she understands my haircut and hair is annoying to do. The guy and new girl are good too. Just a preference and patience to be had.

Show her a photo of the look you want, and she'll bring it to life with precision and artistry. I originally went in just to recolor my hair, and she suggested adding highlights. Yes, it was a little extra, but her pricing is incredibly reasonable -- and the results were worth every penny. I couldn't be happier. You'll see in the photos how the color shifts beautifully depending on the light. That's Lynn's talent: dimension, detail, and pure skill. I absolutely love her work and her eye for perfection. If you're thinking about a color refresh, you won't regret trusting Lynn's expertise.

10.26.2026 - James Mark Salon Spa | Elk Grove, CA…read more Sometimes, you don't realize how much you've missed a place until you walk back through its doors. After nearly 18-19 years, I finally returned to James Mark Salon Spa! The last time I was here was around 2007 or 2008. Back then, I had several services done, including hair coloring, haircuts, facials, microdermabrasion, and other treatments. I have so many memories of coming here! Life took me in different directions over the years. Between moving to Texas and eventually returning to California, I spent a lot of time helping people close to me through some major life changes. Somewhere along the way, I put my own needs on the back burner. So, coming back to a familiar place felt like a nice opportunity to finally do something for myself. One of the reasons I returned was James. He worked on my hair years ago, so there was already a level of familiarity and trust. I wanted curtain bangs and some added volume to my long hair, and I let him know what I was hoping to achieve. We started with a shampoo and conditioning treatment using Kérastase products. What a treat! My hair felt wonderful, and the scalp massage was such a relaxing bonus. It was exactly the kind of little pampering I didn't realize I needed. After that, it was time for the haircut. I got my curtain bangs, but we kept them on the longer side to give them enough weight to work with my stubborn cowlick. If you have a cowlick, you know exactly what I'm talking about! James also added layers throughout the back to give my hair more movement and volume without taking away too much of its length. I was really happy with how everything turned out. My hair felt lighter, had more shape, and the layers gave it the extra volume I was looking for. I also appreciated James taking the time to share some advice about hair treatments and my gradually thinning hair. It's something I've been meaning to address, and it was helpful to get his input. I know there's still some work ahead when it comes to taking better care of my hair, but at least I'm making a start. Funny enough, I walked out and realized I had forgotten to schedule my next appointment! Maybe that's a sign I need to get my hair routine in order first. LOL! All joking aside, I'm glad I came back. Sometimes we get so caught up taking care of everyone else that we forget to make time for ourselves. This visit was a nice reminder that a little self-care goes a long way. If you're in Elk Grove and looking for a salon where you can enjoy a little pampering and get personalized attention, I'd definitely recommend giving James Mark Salon Spa a try. Whether you're looking for a fresh haircut, layers, styling, or a little time to treat yourself, it's worth stopping by. And if James is working with your hair, you're in familiar hands if you've been coming here as long as I have! After all these years, it feels good to be back. Sometimes, it's nice to return to a place that already feels familiar.

After too many disappointing experiences at budget salons, I decided to try a local spot with a…read morehigher price point ($75) and booked a haircut with Lilly, a junior stylist. Lilly was fantastic! I asked for a layered cut with plenty of face-framing pieces, some side bangs, and to keep my length. She absolutely nailed it -- you could tell she's a perfectionist, making sure every detail matched what I wanted. The cut came out better than how I envisioned. I'll definitely be booking with Lilly again next time I need a fresh cut. Parking: Plenty of space in the shared lot.

My hair was nearly all one length, some old dyed hair that were near the ends, and sitting below my lower back. Bleh. I was referred to Lien here by my sister. Making an appointment was quick and easy. Lien was very flexible which was great for me! The salon is very large and can seat I want to say at least 8-10. They did have a back part of the salon where I saw employees and clients head in and out of. I didn't need to go back there since I was only getting a cut but from my view I could see this is where clients can go to sit under the heat lamp. And from reading prior reviews the other part of the back section is for a visit to their esthetician. I showed Lien my inspo pic for long layers. She made it clear that the image would show choppy layers if not styled which I wouldn't style everyday. I trusted what she decided to do and LOVE it! At least 4-5 inches were cut + more when she moved towards layering. We made great conversation, pricing was very reasonable, and the salon was a space I would love to come back to. Thanks Lien for giving my hair the TLC it very much needed! :)

I didn't have an appointment and just walked in on a Friday afternoon, but they greeted me right away and got me seated quickly, which I really appreciated. I was happy to see Kevin again since he did such an amazing job on my haircut last year -- and once again, he did not disappoint!

He couldn't follow the long layer patrern, It's so choppy and the layers do not flow. Then he also thinned my hair out. I don't ask to have it thinned out. He then charged me $95 for roots color, bad choppy trim and a blow out. I paid $100 in San Mateo to fix his choppy hair cut. I can't go back again unless it's just to color roots and blow out.
