Love this shop! Anyone giving low stars are just being evil and nasty. Her products are hands down the best. Whatever conditioner she makes for the hair is like magic. My hair has been growing out much more healthy and my daughter's hair is so long. We both wear press and she makes it look so straight. read more

The stylist used Suave hair products in my hair but wanted to charge Premium prices! I would NOT recommend her to anyone!!

Ms V is amazing!! When I first went to her, my hair was choppy and extremely damaged. After seeing her (semi)regularly for trims, my hair is growing so well!! I typically get a silk press and they last for weeks. She is efficient and great at what she does! read more

Salon Exsalonce - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

I made an appointment for Saturday morning. The owner texted me Friday night 8:30pm and said: "Confirming your hair appointment tomorrow Saturday@10:30am." I didn't see the message until after 9pm, being late and being unsure that I needed to respond to a message that says it was confirming my appointment, i decided i would reply in the morning. Unfortunately, i received a text at 6am(not 12 hours after the "confirmation" and only 4 hours before i was scheduled), that said since I hadn't responded, my appointment was cancelled! WTF?! I was a first time customer and was never told that I must confirm my appointment. It seemed like some type of scammy way to cancel clients you've overbooked and blame them. I was all the way turned off by that and so I was cool about the cancellation. However, later in the week, I still needed my hair done, the yelp reviews still seemed solid and the place is 5 minutes from my home. So, against my better judgment... I made another appointment. I'm tender headed. Therefore, I untangled my hair before I went in. However, the stylist decided to first wet my hair and then proceeded to crudely rake through it while wet. It hurt! At one point... after lots of flinching, I finally spoke up and asked her to not comb my wet hair. She continued to do so! Mind you, this was not with conditioner or any other product to help with detangling. It was my wet, weak hair vs. raking combing that made no attempt to minimize breakage... either by finger detangling, by holding the roots, nothing! Then I sat under the dryer with the conditioner and was rinsed again. Then blow dried. Which was more yanking and raking and breakage! Tbh, it was like either having a beauty makeover Day with my high school friend or having my hair done at a white salon that just has no knowledge of black hair care! Both unpleasant experiences! Then came the flat iron. She seemed to be in quite a hurry. I could feel the sizzle of the flat iron burn my scalp at every pass and i could feel my hair snap at the end when she completed the pass. Lots of flinching through out! At that point, I'd had enough and I actually told her I wanted to pay her and leave with the half done style. What happened next was that she decided to tell me that because I was deaf and unable to wear my hearing aid to communicate with her... MY lack of communication was responsible somehow for the fact she was burning and breaking my hair and causing me pain to the point that I wanted to leave. If she needs to communicate so desperately to do her job... pull out a pen and paper! Seriously, what do you need to communicate while doing my hair? Since she told me she was almost done, I decided to let her finish. Miraculously, she was suddenly able to use a flat iron without burning my scalp and ripping my ends. Which she also tried to make my problem... by saying that i needed a trim and that was the reason my hair was snapping so much at the end of the pass. Surprisingly, when she slowed down... the snapping of my ends was no longer an issue! The cool part is that I'd actually made an appointment for a trim, as well... but there was no way I was going to let her near my hair with scissors!! The whole "lack of responsibility " and blaming customers vibe, though ...I just have no tolerance for that!! I can only imagine the reply that will come to this review. If she does reply, read it closely and see what you see "between the lines!" Honestly, the appointment was a month ago. I forgot all the many things i disliked. But the gist is this: she doesn't know how to care for black hair and doesn't have the patience to give it the TLC it needs and deserves. Don't waste your time or money. And, btw, be prepared to pay more than she quoted on the phone... but blame you...yet again... for not knowing that she charges based on length and thickness of hair. It's just a "No," for me. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

Awesome great professional and peaceful place. I love Vee she's cool and knows her stuff.

OMG not only was the service EXCELLENT Vee is even better I definitely will be back. I done found me a hair salon y'all. I'm very pleased. Thank you Vee read more

Went in with 14inches of perfectly healthy 4 c hair for a trim and silk press , after 8 months of no heat and wearing braids. And now my hair is brittle , falling out , with permanent heat damage . I did let the stylist know and she took 0 accountability & after showing her the state of my hair she completely denied it even being damaged. My hair is almost straight like I have a perm . Do not go here if you love your hair the way it is ! Natural ! if you must travel to another city , do that. read more

Wow! No chemicals and my curly locks were light and straightened! I am impressed by V skill and efficiency in her trade! read more

Salon Exsalonce - Before and after! - Hair Salons Near Me - Sacramento, California

Great service! She fit me in last minute. I have been to way too many people here in Sacramento to get my hair cut and each time I have been disappointed. Ms. Vee knew exactly what to do. She is old school and doesn't take short cuts. She listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted! I have found a new and final hairdresser. She also told me again how to maintain my natural curls all day and it is working. read more

Amazing experience! Vee made me feel like family. From the moment I stepped in, until the moment I left I enjoyed my experience. I've been living in Sacramento for 3 years and it's hard, VERY hard to find a salon. I was use to my old place back in the Bay Area, but Vee reassured me that I was in good hands! Literally! She followed all CDC guidelines due to the pandemic. Her other client was also welcoming! Overall, I am planning to come back for a trim in a few months! I also appreciated all the hair care tips since I am a new mom. Check this place out! You will not be disappointed! Thank you again Vee! read more

Good stylist. I liked how my silk press came out. The stylist is nice. I stopped going because location was far from my side of town.

I found this salon on a search and was able to get an early next day appointment ASAP with Miss V. She washed, deep conditioned, straightened​ and trimmed my hair for only 85$! We had the best conversation during my appointment I felt as if I knew her for years. She is the sweetest hairstylist​ I've ever met and had trouble finding one in Sacramento. She revived my dead ends !! Check her out ! read more

Ms. V. Provides a safe and clean business and is very professional, pleasant, and courteous while explaining her processes. I recommended my daughter to her shop and she also had a great experience. read more

Very disappointed with my last visit for me and my daughter. I forgot to comb out her hair and Vee embarrassed me the entire time we were there. She was upset and it was all my fault. NOT! We were sitting there for over 30 minutes. She saw us walk in and when she finally approached me. She was not nice at all. I should have just left but I didn't. I adopted my daughter ( she was my niece ) she is biracial. My daughter had a haircut by her grandmother. Because it's been a year and a half I went back to Vee she was mad about it. I guess I wasn't taking care of her hair the way I should have. OKAY! No need to be rude and embarrass me the whole time we were there. She also cut my hair yes it was not even. I told Vee how much I wanted cut. She took off way more than I told her. I also noticed she used the same comb on my hair and my daughter's hair with those sterilizing the comb. I still gave her a $30 tip, even though she didn't deserve it with her attitude and being rude. Didn't even say thank you! I'll never go back again. You don't treat your customers like crap and embarrass them because they didn't come back to you. There's a lot I am learning and I am trying but it wasn't nice of her to judge me. VERY RUDE!!! read more

Vee is so awesome. She's personable, friendly, professional and prompt. I love how she truly cares for her clients.

Ver is great with her sheers! Finally found someone I resist with my Jaír. Got a beautiful silk press that lasted weeks and when I washed it out my curls were on point! Ready for my 6 month refresh! read more

If I could give "Salon Exsalonce" 10 stars I would! Vee is THEE BEST!! (She is the owner.) I have been coming to Vee for about 13 years now and I always leave feeling glamorous! I have tried many other stylists in the past with many bad experiences. I thought I would never find a good hair stylist that really knows what she is doing. But once I found Vee I never had to look elsewhere. She is extremely knowledgeable and reliable. I usually get either a relaxer or a sew-in (weave)/extensions. No matter what texture the hair, it always comes out so pretty. What I really value about Vee's work is that even when she braids your hair away for a weave, she washes and deep conditions your natural hair to keep it healthy at all times while it's up. She always remedies any issues I have with my hair. Most recently I started to experience really bad shedding. I think it was due to a combination of my birth control method, hormones and other factors. Anyway, Vee recommended a protein treatment between my relaxer touch-up. After she applied the protein treatment, my hair stopped shedding completely until it was time for my touch-up! And even then the shedding was very minimal. Amazing! My natural hair is now past my bra-strap and really healthy. Her prices are affordable also! Lastly, Vee's kind, authentic and genuine spirit make it such a pleasure to keep coming back. Vee is highly recommended for whatever hair needs you may have. She is very versatile in her skills and abilities. You will get a ton of compliments when your hair is finished. :) Just A natural hair artist! A~ read more

They are so friendly and professional! I called and talked to Joy and she has amazing prices and she asked me questions and made sure I was prepared and set proper expectations for me. She even walked me through picking the right hair, over the phone. I had called about 5 salons before this one and they were rude and their prices were high, but Joy was so polite and made sure that I had untreated hair (I got Senegalese twists and they won't look right with relaxed hair) to make sure I would get my desired look. The appointment was great ! Joy did my hair in the time she specified on the phone, even with me taking a lunch break. She even recommended products to use to upkeep my new hair style and told me how to wrap it at night. Vee, is also so nice and courteous and professional. We had a great time and I defiantly highly recommend these ladies to everyone!!! read more

I started coming to Ms. V five months ago and I have been so happy with my hair. I don't trust anyone with my hair due to the poor hair care of past stylists. Ms. V brought my hair back to life! From the clarifying washes where my scalp and roots of my hair are so fresh, to the deep conditioning, to the styling. I always leave the salon feeling good and looking good highly recommend! read more

Customer service was very poor and hair dresser was very opinionated about my hair and the style I was aiming for which she didn't know how to do it . I was willing to get my hair done they way she felt comfortable doing it and refused to do it , honestly I just think she didn't want to do my hair what a waste of time and gas and I had an appointment set. read more

Ms. V !! The shop was clean. She was punctual and ready to go. She took her time to make sure my daughter's hair was washed, detangled, deep conditioned and trimmed. I will def be back again!! And thanks also for recommending products to help with her hair. read more

It is my belief and experience that a proclamation of Christianity does not automatically prove one's christianity especially when one's actions show otherwise. ALL customers should be treated with respect and professionalism. Speak to clients with respect even when there may be a minor disagreement. read more

Been going to vee for well over 15 years! She has always been a joy to be around. I will never go any where else (i have gone different in the past and left disappointed) vee has ALWAYS given me the best flat iron...never any damage and i have thick natural hair. She is not scissor happy so i always have her trim my hair. She she is a Christian woman and it shows. She usually plays gospel music which i enjoy. I cant say enough good things about vee...just go to her and let her work her magic! read more

I recently moved to the Sacramento area and was looking for a new stylist. I Googled the hair stylists in the area and it was God's divine plan that He allowed me come across Salon Exesalonce today. When I entered the salon, I immediately felt the peaceful atmosphere. The salon was nice and extremely clean. Mrs. Vee did a wash/conditioner and a much needed hair trim for me. I loved the fact that she took the time to listen to exactly how I desired my hair to be styled and she certainly delivered. I enjoyed the salon experience that I received from Mrs. Vee and I absolutely love my hair (that's says a lot because I'm kinda picky ), and so does my Hubby. Thanks Mrs. Vee and I look forward to seeing you again. Peace and Blessings to you! read more

Vee is absolutely amazing! I've been going to her for over 10 years and love getting my hair deep conditioned. Her flat irons come out super straight even on natural hair. The prices are very reasonable too. Highly recommend Salon Exsalonce. read more

I had been going to Vee for a while and she was great. One day I took my daughter to her shop and she wanted to "clean up my daughters ends" she said. I politely asked her to please just cut the ends. She replied with "I told your ass" I was in disbelief .. in front of my daughter? and there were other children in the salon.. I was very polite and I suppose she was a little frustrated because that day my daughter had to have her hair de-tangled because she had braids in the day before. and another girl had to have her daughters hair de-tangled as well. The thing is if your frustrated because of that.. you need to still be professional. I knew I was going to pay her extra for the extra work she provided with de-tangling my daughters hair. but cursing and disrespecting me was not the way to handle that. I never write reviews but that upset me. Even more I'm such a nice person I just don't understand why she would disrespect me that way. Will never go there again! read more
