    I had the best experience here! It was my first time getting my hair cut here and I booked with Samantha Manuel. My sister also gets her hair done by Sam and recommended her to me. Sam was an absolute delight to talk to and I felt like she really cared about my preferences. She did exactly what I asked for and transformed my hair that I hadn't cut for over a year. I also loved the smell of the products that she used. I will be coming back for sure!

    I've been searching for a curly hair specialist for months. I haven't let anyone touch or cut my hair in about 7 years. Needless to say my curls needed help. MEGAN ACOB is who I ended up choosing and trusting and I'm so glad I did. She listened to all of my concerns, talked me off the ledge of anxiety multiple times, didn't push me to overdo my comfort levels, and seriously soothed any apprehensions I had. Megan worked with my schedule, helped teach me how to care for my curly hair, and gave me the cutest bangs and a light trim. I've never properly valued a hair artist like I do with Megan. She let me ramble about my interests and hobbies without missing a beat. Seriously so pleased with my new hair. Thank you again, Megan! You're a true hair-texture sorceress. I can't wait to get to know my new hair! Pics attached

    Maytee did an awesome job on my hair! She stayed within my budget while executing a look that was both beautiful and natural looking. I love the placement of the highlights and how it blends well with the rest of my hair. I also had natural redness at the ends of my dark hair caused by sun exposure and dryness, but she flawlessly blended the new colors and my nasty ends don't look gross anymore! I was also worried about the look not being noticeable considering my natural hair is already dark, but the change was beautifully there and I'm excited to go out with my new look! My hair now looks healthy and shiny, and has that perfect amount of "oomph" and sexiness! Another thing I was concerned about was cost, and all of this was well within budget! Thanks, Maytee!

    Serene environment with talented stylists. I got my hair cut for my wedding by Holly and she did a lovely version of Bridgett Bardot's haircut, thank you

    I've been to Heather a couple of times now, and have loved both experiences. I wanted quite a drastic change, and after looking at the reference pictures I brought in she sculpted something that both worked for my hair, and executed what I wanted. She's honest, helpful, and a true artist!

    Could not love this place more than I do! Absolute gem of a spot. Came in for the first time to get a long put-off haircut today after doing some Yelp research for a salon... beyond glad I went with The Banyan Tree. First of all, street parking is a breeze and who doesn't love that? Secondly, it's such a great space just to walk into. Lots of plants, a sweet sitting area, and plenty of handmade pieces decorating the place; nothing uppity or cold about it. Also, they offer water in a glass not a plastic bottle and I appreciate that minimization of waste! Really makes your experience welcoming and cool from the get-go. My cut was with Megan and simply put: she's f'n awesome. Really took the time to talk to me about what I wanted (a lob kinda), how my hair behaves in general, and what I tend to do with it. She was super supportive of me doing a big chop (around 12 inches) but made sure to remind me to keep in mind that my hair will behave differently than some of the trendy lob images online. It was a breeze to chat with her during the cut as well; I appreciate organic convo! Literally talked about everything from food to star signs to cultural themes and then back to food again. Alongside the fab experience, I ended up with a haircut I absolutely love. I have NEVER had short hair in my adult life, I was honestly a little nervous but I'm super stoked about my short hair now. Megan hit the nail on the head as far as what I was picturing. I genuinely couldn't be more happy with where it ended up!!!! Anyway, love it. Love my hair. Love Megan. Go here. Ok bye.

    Ask the Community - The Banyan Tree

    Do you use ammonium-free hair color?

    All of the stylists are independent contractors and use a variety of different products. It's best to reach out to a specific stylist

    I really have so many questions about a kids cut. How can I speak with an employee?

    Our contact info is under our profiles on the website :)

    Hi. Is Kristina still working at Banyan Tree?

    She is. She's on maternity leave until April.

    What are the prices for a women's haircut?

    I believe it varies by stylist. I would recommend using their website to reach out to someone to get a quote.

    Do they use redken products?

    We use a variety of products for color and backbar currently including redken, davines, eleven, and kevin murphy

His hours are only Wednesday through Saturday. As other reviewers have said, the parking situation is scarce. The salon is located in Land Park between Sac City College and Meet & Eat, by the Plaza Cervantes Park on 11th Ave and Freeport Blvd. There are free spaces along the curb right in front of the business, but the slanted spaces facing the grass are 15 minutes only. On the other side of the grassy area, they say 1 hour parking until 7 PM, and the ones along Freeport are for Zipcars; the rest is residential. I was told that the parking enforcement isn't as bad now since it's summer and school isn't in session, but I expect that when it is that you'd have to move your vehicle mid-hair appointment. A bright, clean, and inviting Aveda salon space. Only a brief wait (minutes) before being seen by Stephen, I declined refreshments but they did have sparkling water. I had shown some inspo photos which were more conservative collarbone-length A-line angled bobs with or without wispy/blunt/curtain bangs. Ultimately, I went even shorter with a chic layered bob with side-swept bangs. Dry chop first, then the shampoo/conditioning before the real cut and styling/blowout. Stephen has over a decade of experience and has been at Moski for almost a year now. Easygoing relaxed conversation but quality work attentive to detail and the finished look came out super cute for this last part of summer! Definitely feeling fresh and loving the new hair.
