I'm visiting from NY and needed shampoo and blowout. Faye was wonderful and highly recommend.

Exquisite highlights by Toy! I get lots of compliments on my hair now. I think she's been a stylist for about 30 years and it shows. I'll be back! read more

I have been going to Alma for 12 yrs for pedicures. She is always on time, follows sanitation guildlines, and makes my feet look and feel great. I always look forward to seeing her. read more

Was seen at the fair oaks location & was scheduled for highlights & trim with A gentleman , unsure of his name . I was pleased with the outcome of highlights & color , the hair trim was terrible , the ends were only supposed to be trimmed but now my ends look worse than they ever looked & hair is very choppy. read more

Best place ever! Always willing to accommodate me and just flat out wonderful people! I always feel 10 years younger and awesome after having my hair done here. I Love Toy and Emma. They are the best! read more

Toy gave me an AMAZING balayage after I totally butchered my own hair with a box kit. (I know, I had it coming). She did everything to fix my wedding hair including fixing color, cut, and she placed and also cut my volumizing extensions. She had an assistant with her and together they made sure everything dyed even by pulling foils and stopping the dye process while new foils were going in. She wasn't winging it - Toy is a pro. It was a long session and she offered me a Diet Coke and styled my hair perfectly while drying. Going back today for my second appointment to get the roots touched up. 5/5 for Salons within. read more

I walked in to the Carmichael location for the first time to find out more about their services and possibly make an appt. I stood at the front desk for over 5 minutes while people swept the floor, BS d etc and NO ONE asked me if they could help me, they just looked at me. I said GREAT SERVICE and walked out and still no one said a word. What a joke BTW, I have lived right near here for 9 years and always thought the place (from the outside) did not look very inviting. The previous reviews sounded good (then I noticed that they are all years old). Inside, the place looked tacky and depressing. read more

Disappointed in my facial: There was no one at the reception desk when I walked in Salons Within I waited for several minutes, while watching one lady get her hair styled, until another slyest asked if I had been helped yet. It is a no frills salon, so don't expect to be offered any tea, water, or other beverages. The salon needed to be cleaned. The glass display shelves were displaying more dust than anything else. The room where facials are given is a dark depressing room with dark brown walls, brown wrinkled sheets, and dust on the shelving. It is also RIGHT NEXT to the mani/pedi stations - which was very loud! Impossible to have a relaxing facial. Patsy should have stepped out and ask them to keep it down a bit; or at least apologized for the noise after I made a comment that they sure are loud out there. The facial itself was just so so. If I had to grade it I would give it a D. My skin did not feel better; it did not look better. I can do better at home. Patsy likes to talk, I know about her long hair dogs (Chihuahua), her health, her 2 sisters, her commute, where she worked before....but she never asked anything about me, or what I had planned for the rest of the day. It was all about her. The facial did come with hands being moisturized, and massaged, which is typically an enjoyable plus; sadly it was her finger nails that I experienced most. Not relaxing, not enjoyable. I purchased a Groupon for a facial from Patsy, the esthetician at Salons Within, but sadly would not go back even for $1. It was a waste of time, and money. read more

I get my nails done here in Salons Within from Sarah in "The Gel Queens." She does an amazing job and is absolutely creative. I am in love with my nails every time I go. I have never had a bad experience and her prices are relatively cheap. Only bad thing is she is very popular so is booked a lot but if you get your nails done she is definitely worth it read more

I have been going to Kristina for .... 10 years?! She is so amazing! Despite my move to Colfax, I continue to make to trek to see her. I get so many compliments and am constantly giving out her cards. I would recommend to anyone. I love that she actually cares about my hair, and will tell me what to do to protect it. read more

I know some may wonder why i go to a Salon and not a Barber. The reason why is after getting my hair cut by Kristina i feel like i have my swagger back. That confidence and clean feeling like that old Spice guy. I've been to a Barber and places like Supercuts, nothing against them but i just know when i come here i know what i am getting myself into. i have been getting my hair cut by Kristina for 7+ years and unless both of her arms fall off I am coming here. Ok maybe that's a lie there are a lot of great stylists in there that i could still go to. Don't forget to go to Hagen's next door for a tasty freeze equal to Merlino's if not better. read more

Ok, so if you are going to see anyone see Toy. Awesome haircuts and great prices. I am always pleased when I leave the salon. She is a mom and loves to talk and get to know you. I went to high school with her son so I was refered by a number of people and let me tell you totally worth whatever you pay. Its a fun friendly enviroment and while youre there youre pretty much treated as family. When youre done run over to Hagens Freeze. They operate that too! Totally a great family with great businesses! read more

I have been going to Mitch for a few months for color and haircuts. My style is awesome and I get lots of compliments on it. Thanks, Mitch! read more

First time at Salons Within my appointment was with Marliyn. She is fixing my hair , I colored it and it did not come out right. She highlighted my hair and did a great job. I'm happy I have a good stylist that knows what they are doing. read more

I get my hair cut and colored by Dianne. I get so many compliments on the color!!! She does a great job. Highly recommend!

Salon Xpressions - Re: Jill Marlin/Stylist and Cosmetolgist- 7846 Fair Oaks Blvd., Carmichael, CA 95608 ... Jill presents as a very professional and experienced hair stylist for women and for men as well! After witnessing her artistry of styling my daughter and my daughter-in-law's hair over the past few years ,... I had to give her a try. Having run the gammit with Hoshall's in Carmichael over the past 10 years, I have to say that Jill has them BEAT DOWN, "HANDS DOWN"!!! Twice the value for half the price!!! She's local, and she's good!!! If I may add; beyond a very nice setting, the waiting lounge makes you feel "relaxed and at home." No!... I ddn't get paid for this "Post"; I just like the place! Check it out and tell me if you don't agree! read more

Is there anything more nerveracking than finding a new hairdresser? I was referred to Marlyn at Salons Within by my boyfriend's mother, who has great hair. From the outside, the place doesn't look like anything more than another building next to an old Hagen's orange freeze but inside is huge and beautiful with many stations, nice couches, coffee and magazines. Marlyn made me feel instantly in good hands. I have long, thick and wavy hair that I hadn't cut in ages and I just wanted someone who understood how to cut curly hair. Marlyn gets it. She's experienced and confident, knows how to make my hair look good. She even explained to me why thinning is the wrong idea for my hair and I'll say I'm never going to thin it again. She understood the style I wanted and cut conservatively and asked my opinion along the way so I would get just what I wanted. I recently returned and she gave me probably the best cut I've ever had. What more can you ask for from a stylist? Plus, she's got a great collection of zebra print! read more

This Salon Is So Nice. It Is Very Homey/Relaxing Feeling. All The Ladies Are So Nice Got My Hair Done Today By Toy And She Is AWESOME !!! I Absolutely Love My Hair & They Have Reasonable Prices. Will Be Definitely Going Back To This Salon Love It. I Highly Recommend This Place !!! read more

I go to Kathy Lauer at Salons Within. She is excellent with color and really knows how to cut curly/wavy hair, which takes skill. She's also a great person to chat with and very accomodating! read more

I got the the worst haircut I've had in many years from a woman named Karen who works at this salon. If you're 85 and want to look like you're ready for the nursing home, she's your gal. Just had this hatchet job done last week, and every time I look in the mirror I feel like crying. Do yourself a favor and find somebody else. read more

Just had my first appointment with Chad, I am absolutely blown away. After three terrible experiences with other salons in the area I got lucky and have found a great hairstylist. I was going down the list of local salons again the other day and had called about 7, none of which answered the phone, this was the first salon that answered and I am so glad they did. It was obvious as soon as he started that he knew exactly what he was doing, extremely talented and knowledgable. I will not be going anywhere else. I highly recommend Chad and this salon. read more

I had my hair cut, styled, and highlighted by Ashley. She was on time, very kind, and my hair looked so beautiful. It is nice to leave the salon feeling wonderful and I will continue to have Ashley cut/color my hair in the future. Thank you for a great experience. read more
