Best Hair Salons in Sacramento, CA
Compare 100 hair salons in Sacramento, California with Google ratings, services and online booking. The top-rated spot is Take Care Barbershop with 5.0 stars from 173 Google reviews.
Sacramento's directory covers 100 salons and barbershops, and the lineup leans hard toward barbering: men's cuts and fades are the two most common services, each listed at 22 shops. Natural and textured hair is well covered too — braids, locs, and protective styles each show up at 18 places. About 72% take online booking, so you can usually hold a chair without picking up the phone.
Which services are well-represented
Barbering is the backbone here. Men's cuts and fades top the list at 22 shops each, with beard trims close behind at 20. If you want a clipper cut or a clean fade, you have plenty of room to be picky.
The next tier is broad and even: women's cuts, styling, and blowouts each land at 18 shops, as do braids, locs, and protective styles. That's a solid base for both everyday maintenance and protective-style work.
Color is thinner on the ground. Highlights, all-over color, and balayage each appear at 4 shops, and extensions and weaves at 6. These service tags only tell you the work happens somewhere — not that a shop leans into it — so read the individual listings before booking a big color or extension appointment.
Booking and ratings at a glance
About 72% of these salons let you book online, which is high enough that online booking can be your default filter. The rest still take walk-ins or reservations by phone.
Roughly 73% of the salons carry a star rating, and those ratings average 4.73. That's a healthy baseline, but an average hides a lot — a 4.9 from 30 reviews and a 4.6 from 600 tell you very different things. Weigh the rating against how many people actually left one.
How to use this directory
Start with the service you actually need. Filtering to fades, braids, or blowouts narrows 100 shops down to a workable shortlist fast.
From there, sort by rating but read the review count sitting next to it, and check whether a shop takes online booking if that matters to you. When you call or book, name the specific style you want — a "fade" can mean a low, mid, or skin fade, and "braids" covers everything from box braids to cornrows — so the shop can confirm they do it before you show up.
