I've been searching for a curly hair specialist for months, and if you have curls, you already know how real that struggle is. I'm very particular about who touches my hair, so finding the right person felt nearly impossible--until a little moment of serendipity changed everything! I was getting a pedicure when a prettyl woman with curls walked into the nail salon. Before I left, I worked up the courage to ask her if she knew someone who specialized in cutting, treating, and styling curly hair... and to my surprise, she said she was the one! Her name is Neisha. I booked an appointment with her the very next day at Salon Philosophie in Vacaville, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the energy was warm, welcoming, and positive. Everyone made me feel right at home, and you could tell by the clients walking out that people were leaving feeling confident and happy. Neisha herself is amazing--so sweet, attentive, and professional. What I appreciated most is that she asked detailed questions about my expectations. It's rare to find a stylist who truly listens instead of just doing what they think is best. I asked for a trim and highlights, and she absolutely delivered. I am in LOVE with my color! She also gave me a silk press, which came out beautiful. I'm a natural curly girl through and through, so it didn't last as long as intended (sorry, Neisha! ), but I especially love how the highlights look with my curls--they really pop! I will definitely be going back to Neisha and highly recommend her to all my fellow curly girls looking for someone who truly understands textured hair. Salon Philosophie is also a one-stop shop--they offer braids, weaves, silk presses, color, cuts, and more. They even have a nail technician and a barber on site! I've already recommended Neisha and the salon to several friends, and I genuinely stand by my recommendation. Thank you, Neisha, for helping me fall back in love with my hair! read more

I went to Salon Philosphie to get my hair done for a birthday party. Champagne did my hair. I got a shampoo, blow-dry, and silk press. I got great service, and the price wasn't bad either. Champagne got me in and out. I was pleased with my hair and got tons of compliments. I had a really good experience. read more

So. . .I scheduled a hair appointment for both of my daughters. Beforehand, I had been in communication with Iliana and it took me a minute to get our schedule down but she was super patient with me. One of my daughters is extremely tender-headed but Iliana was very patient with her and even encouraging saying things like "girl you got this!" and being playful with my daughters to help make them more comfortable. She's extremely professional, very kind and has really good energy. The entire shop has a really good vibe and we felt welcomed from the moment we walked in the door. We fell in love with Iliana and truly appreciate her skill set and her personality!! We will DEFINITELY be back and I encourage anyone who is in the area to book her because she is the best!! Thank you so much Il read more

Several stylists consistently fail to adhere to scheduled appointment times. While the owner provides excellent service, I recommend she consider onboarding more reliable staff. read more

I tried to be patient and give this Salon a chance, but I DO NOT recommend this Salon for the following reasons. 1) The owner Sophie takes WEEKS to get back to you for an appointment, IF she ever responds at all! HOW RUDE!! 2) Sophie and her staff call their place of business a Salon however it should be called a Cosmetology School because their work is inconsistent and mediocre, they still have TONS to learn before calling themselves a Professional Salon. 3) Sophie and some of her staff members are HIGHLY IMMATURE and UNPROFESSIONAL. Their behavior resembles that of kids in jr. high school that compete with each other as they sit around speaking negatively, gossiping and laughing at their clients right in front of them. If you do not want to have this type of experience, or to waste your time and money, then go find a five star Salon where they know what true maturity, respect and professionalism are and actually know what they're doing when you sit in their chair... I FINALLY did! read more

Iliana is the best! I started going to her about a year ago and have had multiple silk presses, braids, keratin treatments, partial weaves, and crochet. My curly 4 a/b hair is so much more manageable, longer, and thicker now! She is always on time, has great energy, and her prices are very affordable! I recommend her to people of all hair types. She can truly do it all! Thanks Iliana! read more

I couldn't believe how gentle and caring she was with my granddaughter. My granddaughter (age 5) was desperately in need of her first trim. She washed, deep conditioned, blow dried and styled her hair. Her prices are very fair. Wonderful and clean atmosphere!! Will be bringing her back again and probably for braids as well. Thank you. Pictures are not in the correct order, but you get the idea. I was very happy with the outcome! read more

The owner was very nice and accommodating, but as for one of the cosmetologist name Iliana she was very unprofessional and totally does not no how to braid.. my son got his hair braided yesterday 8/27/2025 it was different size braids with twist alternated they were unraveling and blunt cut at the bottom. When I called her this morning to complain she expressed that she wasn't going to refund me or redo his hair and proceeded to put glue at the ends to stop the unraveling, it was Totally unacceptable.. the Owner of the shop Sophie after me calling back to speak with her told Iliana to refund me.. she did with great attitude and didn't know the difference between being called a layman and lame.. she need to stick to silk press only.. I had to correct her being she tried to tell me I was wrong for calling my son a layman ... she said your wrong to call your son Lame... I had to explain to her the difference and to refund me so I could get my son to his appt at another shop... and also it only took me 30 mins to remove the mess Iliana put in his hair read more

Best haircut i've ever had!! Most haircuts end with my hair being too short but Iliana came through ! All my dead ends gone and hair feeling healthier than ever, after that scalp massage I feel like i'm seeing clearer! She's very sweet and super funny had me laughing the whole appointment. I've never been one to write reviews but Iliana deserves a five star review after a five star service. Excited to go back for the next trim. read more

Visited Salon Philosophie on 4/11/2024. The shop was clean and I received a warm welcome upon entering. Worked with Iliana for a first time color. It was a great experience! She made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions, even from our first interaction regarding my service request. She provided different color options prior to the appointment, which I really appreciated. During the appointment, she explained each step of the process, and even provided a bottle of shampoo to help keep my color in good condition. Would definitely recommend Iliana to anyone, and will be back for services in the future! read more

Great salon! I don't give 5 stars often but this one fully deserves it. I hadn't been to a salon since the 90s so when bringing my 7yr old daughter here it brought back great memories of sitting under the dryer, chatting and cracking jokes with both customers and the stylist and just enjoying yourself. Scheduling with Ophelia was very easy. She was very responsive and worked with my daughter's school schedule. She gave hair advice and made my daughter comfortable as it was her first time at a salon. While her shyness kept her from engaging more, she loved every minute of it and felt like "a big girl". It was also nice to see other kids at the salon and I'm sure that helped my daughter feel at ease. As I sat waiting I realized that all of the stylist there were pretty good when doing other customers so I'm confident that the entire staff is talented. Thanks for the amazing, first time experience Ophelia. We will be back soon read more

Due to moving I had to find a new stylist closer to home. I was leary because I have mixed hair and have had some bad experiences. I loved my last stylist so having to find someone else was a hard decision to make. Luckily I found Salon Philosophie and Mick. Mick is terrific! She listens to what you want and is very easy to talk to. She specializes in braids but can do anything. I've had a relaxer, a GREAT cut and color. My hair was being stubborn on the color but she collaborated with the team and I have a healthy high end looking color despite my hair not wanting to cooperate. Which leads me to the salon, it is a great energy with all kinds of clients, skills and services. They are individual stylist but there to lend expertise and make sure clients are taken care of. Looking forward to trying the smoothing treatment instead of relaxer next time. I'm glad I found this place and glad I found Mick! read more

I get so nervous trying a new hair stylist but This salon was so professional and kind. Mick had my hair(I have a lot of it and long) looking healthy and gave me great advice on how to maintain it. She was so cheerful funny and easy to talk to. I felt blessed to have someone hear my fears, ease my nerves and do such a nice job. I can't believe this multicultural salon is located in Vacaville. I'm elated to find such a gem. Highly recommend them. I had a trim, deep condition,blow dry and style. read more

This salon filled my heart with hope yesterday. My 6 year old daughter has a tender head and previously had a traumatic braiding experience. The entire staff wrapped their arms around not only my daughter but myself too as we both shed tears and worked through the fear. Champagne was fast and willing to work with a very uncooperative little girl. Sophie and Ophelia stepped away from their client's to help my daughter feel safe and cared for. Even the clients in their chairs were cheering us both on. Such a positive and empowering salon. We will be back! Thank you Salon Philosophie for making my girl smile! read more

I loved how my hair turned out. My stylist Aphelia did a partial sew in. She had great Customer service. I felt comfortable the whole time. She did get interrupted with other clients a few times and stopped working on me to do other clients. The process could have been shorter, but it wasn't bad. Overall the whole salon is very nice and clean. She did a great job on my hair. I will come back to her. read more

I've followed Julie from Lovely Nails to Salon Philosophie. I've been coming to Julie for 3.5 years twice a month and she never fails me. The best gel mani and pedis known to woman. She doesn't do acrylic false nails but who cares! My nails are stronger than ever and grow like crazy so no need for falsies and acrylic which is horrible for your nails btw. Come to Julie she's amazing! Love this lady! Also Josh is stupid crazy with a pair of scissors. Josh is my go to for all my cuts. Does amazing on bobs he even styles my wigs. Best hands down with a short cut or weave. Plus he twerks at work what else could you ask for One stop shop ladies and gents. Try them out! read more

I am so grateful that I met Ophelia and Sophie! Ophelia does my hair and I've never been happier! My cousin Lorna referred me.I got the Beverly Hills J smoothing treatment and it looks as if I have a perm in my hair but thank God I don't. I haven't had a perm in 18 months but all of my friends thought I did. My hair is growing and is very healthy now thanks to Ophelia! I love Salon Philosophie! I referred my friend Nina and she was ecstatic! My cousin Yolanda was pleased as well with her hair style, the atmosphere and the prices. Great shop, great ppl, great conversation and great snacks Carolyn read more

I wanted a drastic change to my hair, and I'm very pleased with how Sophia executed my haircut. To begin, I wanted to target a salon in the Fairfield/Vacaville with a reputation of serving customers who were Black simply because I'd feel more confident that they'd know what to do with my hair-- and I wasn't disappointed, because they/Sophia did! My main goal was to change my hair from thick/curly/dry to something more manageable, so I opted for a keratin protein treatment with heat and a trim (though I will still have to keep up with product and drying it, I think it is a much more simplified process). Product was applied quickly without confusion, processed within 30 minutes, dried, and styled (total appointment took about 2-3 hours). Sophia was very accommodating and eager to answer any questions I had. Thanks for the appointment today! read more

Great atmosphere and great staff; everyone was professional and friendly and for a first visit I was very comfortable there. This salon is a lot closer to me than the drive I was making from Roseville to the Bay Area and well worth the few extra miles drive past Sacramento. Ophelia did a wonderful job and as I got my hair done, I watched all of the staff do their thing...natural hair, perms, weaves, flat irons, short cuts; they do it all! 4-15-17 update...I took my daughter to get her hair done. She's 4 and it was her first time in a salon. She got her hair washed abs conditioned as well as trimmed and flat ironed for the first time... Ophelia did an amazing job. She's great with kids and my daughter's hair looks fantastic. By the way, my daughter has a lot of hair and doesn't like me combing it but that wasn't the case at the shop. read more

It's so refreshing to see two sisters who have a booming business; and are both mothers/wives/and entrepreneurs! Sophie and Ophelia are amazing. The other stylists are really good too. It seems as if they can do any type of hair. I was referred by a friend and I've since referred three people as well as had all of my daughters get theirs done too. My Yelp picture is after Ophelia's amazing trim and style! Love this place, they go far beyond the typical salon vibe. They keep it lively, very posh and clean, and 100% professional. read more

I just moved to the area and was in desperate need of a cut/trim. My curls are not consistent so it's hard to find someone who can make to my crazy curls, look flattering. I was nervous but Ophelia suggested a great cut for both curly or straight styles. She was sweet, patient & very informative on styles & products for my hair texture. The whole staff was actually very sweet. They checked on me regularly to ensure I was comfortable & fed with free water & snacks! I will definitely be coming back. read more

If you have multi racial hair, you know how hard it is to find a place that you feel comfortable in and actually knows how to take care of your hair. I think I have found my place. I came in today on a whim, I was dreading doing my own hair for mothers day and saw a friend post this business on their Instagram story. I thought what the heck let me call and see if they have any availability. By some miracle, Tondenisha squeezed me in. I was so skeptical and scared because I have not gotten my hair professionally done since the beginning of the pandemic. Not to mention other places left a bad taste in my mouth and just never seemed to fit the bill. I am so glad I went because my hair came out soft, silky, and healthy. So pretty and ready for mothers day. She gave me the most amazing Almond butter deep conditioning treatment that saved my dry hair. She was so gently while detangling I was so relaxed. She works fast and efficiently and you can just tell her hands have had years of experience, she knows what she's doing. Not to mention she was so kind. I can't wait to go back and start my color journey. I am so happy I took the chance and came in, my hair came out wonderful. The shop is nice and clean and everyone is so nice. I will definitely be back! read more

I had scheduled a trim and it was the worst experience ever. The woman literally brushed my hair down and cut just the very bottom of my hair. Didn't go through the "layers" of my hair to get rid of the dead ends like a typical trim appointment would consist of. I then asked her to fix the face frame for my hair and she just jacked my hair up! What really made me most upset was she was so focused on her phone and kind of dismissive. It was unfortunate because I had seen the woman's hair she had done before me & it looked decent. I ended up having to go to Ulta to get it fixed the next day. I will not return here! read more

Sophie did my eyebrows and basically performed a miracle. I had NO eyebrow hair due to over plucking! She basically had to create something from scratch. I love how they turned out and the time it saves me from having to draw them in everyday! She also did highlights on my hair and those came out beautiful! She's very kind and she will listen and address any concerns that you may have. She's a a true professional and her place of business reflects it. The place is clean and decorated very nice. Plenty of parking and easy to find. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because I have not had the opportunity to have my nails done there so I don't know about their nail services. But I'm sure they do a great job as well. I would definitely recommend this place for all your beauty needs! read more
