This is the salon I have needed. Every stylist knows how to work with curly hair!! I was skeptical that this place may just be a fancy place saying they specialize in curls, but I was happily surprised. I love the time Liz took shaping my hair and telling me the best way to take care of it. She listened to me and customized a plan that could work with my time. There was no pushing of products or rescheduling right away. I love that. Will definitely be returning to continue service. read more

I've been coming here for probably 4-5 years now, and there's a reason I keep coming back! I've also started bringing my kids, and it's always such a welcoming, fun, comfortable experience. A huge shout-out to Aubrey Perez, the owner, who is just the best. She's created such a warm, welcoming space, and she really understands textured hair. I always leave feeling like my hair is healthier and happier, with my natural waves actually working with me instead of against me. The cuts grow out beautifully and make my hair so much easier to manage at home, which is exactly what I want. She also works wonderfully with my kids, and especially my son's specific and unique style requests. It's become our family's go-to place for haircuts, and I genuinely look forward to going. Highly recommend Aubrey and her team! read more

I have had MANY bad haircut & style experiences. So many that I just stopped going to get my haircut for about 10 years. I am almost 60 and my curly hair now needs pro help. I filled out the new client info for Classic Curl Salon and got a call from Mikayla. Day of service, she listened to what I wanted then cut, washed and styled my hair. I LOVE IT!!! She gave me detailed instructions on how to maintain the health and curl. Since I have dry, lightweight hair, I only wash once, maybe twice a week. So, when it came time several days later to try to replicate what Mikayla did (I NEVER can do what the stylist does), I followed the step by step instructions and tips she gave and I did it! I have the healthy bouncy curls she created all over again! I am beyond happy with this place and Mikayla. Wish I knew of it years ago!! I recommend it to anyone who has curly hair. read more

Well, I don't think my stylist was exactly familiar with my type of hair.... My husband wanted to book me an appointment as a "pick me up", since ive been self conscious and struggling with my hair a bit recently. I went in for a curly set. Victoria was my stylist and she was very sweet. But I do think she was over did it with gel and creams. It's pretty heavy and feels awful, and it did not exactly work as a " pick me up". But the prices are amazing, and the staff is all very friendly. I just think perhaps I needed a more experienced hairdresser. Photos are of my hair usually, and the last one was my hair after I got home read more

I didn't end up visiting this salon, but I'm reviewing based on my experience while researching. I found a stylist, Iona, on TikTok and asked a simple question about her experience. Instead of answering, I was redirected to her page--which didn't address my question--and never received a follow-up. She did, however, later engage with another comment suggesting that having curly hair and attending beauty school equals "a lot of experience." That may be a starting point, but it's not a full qualification for someone seeking an experienced stylist. As a potential client, I have every right to ask about licensing and experience before booking. That's not disrespectful--it's doing due diligence. I also did some research and saw she was tagged in a recent Instagram post suggesting she may currently be working as a mentee. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does indicate she's still building experience, which doesn't align with what I'm personally looking for. If my questions caused offense, that's not my intention--but it's also not my responsibility to manage someone else's reaction to reasonable inquiries. I'm allowed to do my research and make informed decisions. The lack of direct communication and professionalism was a turn-off. Customer service starts before the appointment, and this interaction didn't leave a good impression. read more

Went in for a haircut I booked same day, but there was an unfortunate miscommunication. However, the owner quickly reached out to me, took full responsibility, and remedied the problem. While initially a bummer, the owner put me first and quickly solved the problem! read more

I came in today for a curl consultation with Iona. I recently had found her page on tik tok and as someone who struggles with their hair, Iona was extremely kind, helpful, and informative. She taught me what products will help define and moisturize my hair as well as how to take care of it. I'm excited to come back for a cut soon!:) read more

Searched so long online for a curly hair stylist that was accepting new clients, had availability within approximately a month, and wasn't charging $300+ for a haircut. I found The Classic Curl Salon and specific mentions of Emmily being great and so I booked a haircut with Emmily on The Classic Curl Salon's website. Right before I left for my appointment, Emmily text me letting me know she was running behind and I didn't mind at all because she told me in advance and I know things happen! When I walked in the salon, it was bright and had a cheerful vibe and I was immediately greeted by Emmily. She didn't rush me at all and before I sat in her chair I was able to use their clean restroom in the back. Emmily had a great presence, was very social, pleasant, collaborative, a great listener, and it was immediately obvious that she's very experienced and knowledgeable. Just by looking at my hair she could tell what had been done to my hair previously both cut-wise and color-wise. I showed her a couple pictures for inspiration and she understood exactly what I wanted in my haircut and worked so quickly achieving exactly what was in the pictures shown! In addition, Emmily advised me on hair products to try for styling to achieve some different results and for hair growth and scalp nourishment as well. Emmily certainly knows how to cut curly hair, achieving shape, texture, and volume as well as how to style for bouncy beautiful curls. I'm so happy I found a new stylist, all the long searching was well worth it and so is the drive from Sacramento to Folsom. read more

I came in for a last-minute consultation after struggling with my curls for a while, and Tamara immediately made me feel heard and validated. She even fit me in for an appointment the same day! I trusted her to cut as needed, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My curls feel so much healthier and look amazing. I'll definitely be returning--thank you so much for everything, Tamara! read more

I had an excellent experience at Classic Curl- Victoria was my person. She is friendly and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I invested the time trying to understand my curly hair. I love the way my hair came out and I'll be back.. read more

I've been going to Emmily for 5 years. She's the ONLY person I trust with my hair. I've followed her from Oakland to Folsom. I moved to New York in 2023, and I fly back to San Francisco, rent a car, and drive the 2hrs each way to get my hair done. Like she really is a 6 hour flight + 4hrs of driving good. She is so warm, kind, and talented. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Great, fun vibe at this place; I enjoy seeing everyone having a good time. Tamara is my stylist and she's fantastic highly recommend her. Always good to take in reference photos. I appreciate that nothing ever feels rushed or overbooked. I'll share some Before and After photos read more

I came here to cut my hair after 5 years and booked Emmily. She was extremely welcoming and made sure I was comfortable with snacks, drinks, and the restroom before she started her process. She looked over photos with me for what I wanted and adjusted as she cut. She explained why she was cutting it and then gave me instructions on how to care for my type of hair. I learned a lot and felt well taken care of the whole time. I definitely recommend coming to Emmily and this salon in general because it's so welcoming and they really care about your curls. read more

So happy with my experience here. Lilliana was prepared and did an excellent job listening to what I wanted and answering all the questions I had. It was obvious that she genuinely cared. She was incredibly sweet, took her time, and it felt like we were speaking the same (curl) language - I've never had that in a traditional salon. This was my very first time going to a curl specialist and getting a dry cut; the cut is beautiful and the curls are moisturized, defined, and really just living their best life. I'm looking forward to going back! read more

I'm brand new in the area and was having a difficult time finding someone who could cut naturally curly hair, let alone specialized in it, so I didn't hesitate to drive the 45 minutes to Folsom (a surprisingly charming town that I'm glad to have seen) when I heard a glowing review of "The Classic Curl Salon." I could not have been more delighted with the strangely different approach to cutting hair that Victoria used on my (badly in need of cutting) head of silver curls. And it looked terrific this morning despite walking the dogs in the rain last night and sleeping n it for 8+ hours! Assuming I can manage using the products and scrunching it myself after shampooing, I will happily make that drive on a regular basis to continue with Victoria because the cut looks great and feels just right. Highly recommend. read more

Clean and comfortable salon environment. My stylist was Lindsay. She was great and I will definitely be going back to her. She did a great cut/style and patently answered all my questions. Since it was my first dry curly cut she explained everything as she did it, from the cut to the stlye. She even recommended reasonably priced products that I could get at target or cvs upon request. read more

Okay so I haven't always loved my curls, mainly because I didn't know how to style it and I never got a proper haircut. I've always gotten a dry cut with my hair straightened. There are no good curly salons near me so I decided to venture out to Folsom to try this place. I was apprehensive at first but Tamara was so sweet and funny and made me feel at ease with the whole process. I spent about 3 hours there but it didn't feel like it. I have never loved my hair this much or received this many compliments on my hair! I will definitely be coming back and recommending this place to all my curly hair friends read more

We had an amazing experience with Victoria at The Classic Curl Salon. This is my first real review in years on Yelp. I haven't had a good reason to. Thank you Aubrey and Victoria for a perfectly fabulous experience and we WILL be coming here from now on. I have been trying to understand my daughter's curls and could not find the education I needed to get the defined curls I was looking for. We are so pleased. Thank you! read more

This salon should have way more than 1 five star view! I am totally in love with this super cute space. The staff seemed very friendly and helpful right when you walk in. I had my first curly hair cut with Aubrey the other day and she is the absolute best! She was welcoming, and made me feel at total ease the entire time. :-) I am a biracial woman so my curls like to act up (lol!) but she totally knew exactly what my hair needed and it turned out super beautiful! So looking forward to keeping up my curly hair routine with Aubrey! She's a must book as I'm sure her whole staff is!!! read more

The Classic Curl Salon - Day two total bed head but the curls are still beautiful without any curl fresher yet, thanks to Aubrey! - Hair Salons Near Me - Folsom, California

I just got my curly cut done by Emmily and it turned out AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about her! I have thick, coarse, curly hair and have abused it for years with coloring/bleaching and heat. She was so knowledgeable about my type of hair and explained how to repair the damage I've caused. She taught me so much about how to care for my hair and style it. She recommended products specific to my hair type and needs. She listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations with the cut! I have never been able to wash and go, but she somehow made this dream come true and I could not be happier! read more

Just got my first curly cut from Classic Curl. Can I just say that I love Liz's work? Not only did she give me a great cut, she gave me an entire tutorial on how to keep up my curls at home. AND IT WORKED! I also appreciate that she didn't try to upsell me on products. Highly recommend this salon for us curlies. read more

Aubrey saw this review and was apologetic. She provided a refund, which I appreciate. She also said she will communicate more in the future. read more

I cannot say enough! I'm truly over the moon. Emmily cut and colored my 3a curls. I have never been to someone who TRULY knew how to cut curly hair and have been satisfied with my stylist for over a decade. Little did I know what I was missing! Best cut of my life! I was almost emotional walking out with a fully styled head of hair--I didn't need to ask for it not to be brushed but finger raked. Emmily knew. My hair can be a lot of work and is emphatically NOT soft, but walking out, my curls were defined, soft, shiny, and I could literally run my fingers through my hair... (which I don't do because it changes the umph more than I want, but today didn't). This was the best kind of magic. I don't have enough good to say about this experience. I will definitely be a regular. read more

I've been going to Mikayla for my cuts for maybe 2-3 years now and I refuse to see anyone else! My natural hair is now the longest and healthiest it's ever been (it's definitely been a process) and I receive so many more compliments when I wear my hair down, even when it's straight. I appreciate how Mikayla takes her time with shaping my hair and cutting layers piece by piece, and always checks to make sure I'm happy before taking any more length off. I even messaged her outside our our appointments because I was having trouble styling my natural hair, and she took her time recommending some techniques and products that have made all the difference for me. All of the ladies in the salon are so welcoming and kind, but if you're looking to start your natural hair journey I can't recommend Mikayla enough :) thank you always! read more

Emmily is amazing. She has turned me into a curly girl. I always hated my curls until now

I have been to this salon three times. I was seen first by Aubrey, the owner, and then twice by a stylist named Emmily. My experience has been fantastic each time! They are super knowledgeable about curly hair and take the time to communicate in detail each step of the process. I get cuts and color (grey blending highlights) and I've been really pleased with the results each time. They have a cool thing where you can come and get really affordable- even free- trims between cuts. Also- everyone has been so kind and down to earth. The products they use are super nice too. You feel like you're getting a quality experience but in a comfortable and laid back environment. read more

I took my 8yo daughter here to get a haircut. She's had a few inches cut before at a other salon (Straight Up Curls), but it was so expensive and required a dextox before, so I didn't want to pay $300 for a detox + cut. I was recommended this place, since they cut children's hair. My daughter wanted her hair cut shorter, but the technician started off cutting it short and was very cavalier about just chopping off so much right away. By the end it was just a short haircut, it was uneven and even had one long curl left (I ended up cutting that at home). I waited a few days until I could do an at home wash to see how it looked, but was definitely uneven. I'm just really sad that nowhere in Sacramento area has either affordable curly haircuts, or ones that are affordable are mediocre. I think this salon may be what people are looking for, but we will probably keep looking. read more

Aubrey is absolutely amazing! I am so thankful to have found her in the Greater Sacramento area. I tried another curly hair stylist in the area, but she doesn't compare to the work Aubrey did. The salon is super cute, sanitized and I feel very comfortable in the space. She is friendly, professional and so good at understanding curls! Aubrey is certified in Deva & Rezo. I was looking for a major change and she helped me achieve it! read more

I finally found someone who understands how to cut curly hair and bring out its best features! Aubrey listens to what I ask for and has never disappointed. She's helped me learn tricks and tips to make my curls bouncier (it's only taken 50 years). She's worth every penny and more! read more

I've been on the search for a real curl cut.......after years of having my hair wet, stretched and blow outs with product, I've finally found someone who took the time to assess my hair, texture and listen to what my concerns were. No judgement on cutting my own for the last few years since I became "gun shy" to go to a professional since it would only result in my having to grow it back out to make another attempt. Emmily was wonderful. Even after she gave me a dry curly cut, washed and maximized my curls, we took a little bit more hair off......I never felt rushed to have my appointment over, and she sincerely wanted to make it known we were in it together for the best outcome. I loved I wasn't required to do some weird detox or pre-appointment seminar as some salons require, it was a "come as you are" and let's figure it out vibe. She's my new go-to stylist!!!! Thank you Emmily! read more

I received a curly trim and color from The Curl Dr., Lindsay. She was so welcoming and made me feel SO comfortable and taken care of. I haven't had anyone touch my hair for 10 years due to bad curly haircut trauma lol Nobody in my hometown growing up knew how to cut ethnic hair. I found this salon, super stoked. I'll be coming regularly for trims and color. I live in Humboldt, the travel is worth it. Thank you read more

We recently brought our daughter in for her first haircut ever and the stylist, Victoria, was a GEM! She was so kind and genuine and she patiently trimmed, washed, detangled, etc. my kids very, very long hair. The salon itself is quite nice, cozy without feeling too small at all and in a beautiful area. My daughter left positively glowing, saying it was "a million times better" than she thought it would be in the best possible way. We will definitely be back to see Victoria in the future! read more

The business owner and I spoke and she went above and beyond to make this right. She offered me a refund and to have me come in as it's growing back to make sure it is what I want.

Thinking of having a haircut by a professional who specializes in CURLY hair? Run, don't walk, to Abury! She is a curly girl's dream! Over the years I have been to different stylists who were Deva trained but, hands down, Aubry is the best! And she is right in FOLSOM! She has made my life so much easier by cutting my hair CORRECTLY! I don't have to fool with it anymore - it just does it groovy curly thing! She is a pleasure to work with and a very savvy business woman! The website is excellent and I got a text to schedule my appointment within a couple of hours of filling out my info. The whole experience was great! You will not be disappointed! read more

I have been going to Aubrey for hair cuts since she was in Alameda. I had the WORST curly hair in the world but with her cuts and assistance with styling and product I'm LOVING my hair for about 4 years now. She is an EXCELLENT style for all things curly - worth EVERY penny! My daughter, who lives in Italy, also makes sure to get her hair cut by Aubrey every time she visits. Sorry it took me so long to provide this review Aubrey! read more

I am new to the area and have never used a Solon that specifically cuts curly hair. I was a little scared and nervous. I also don't get my hair cut on the regular so when she told me the cost I was at first thinking I might cancel lol, but I kept it and I am soooo glad I went. Aubrey listened to me and my needs and met my expectations. She gave me instructions on how to take care of my hair and showed me as she explained. I also left with it all in writing. I felt good about continuing my curls at home. I have definitely found my new local curly hair stylist. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Aubrey is. My hair has always been my nemesis and she has taught me to embrace my curls and love my hair. Her cuts are perfection and her color spot in. She is open about what can and can't be done with my hair texture. She is the consumable professional and a patient teacher. read more
