Hair Forte

I went in excited for what I was having done since my boyfriend had surprised me with a Groupon from here but I left feeling dissatisfied and disappointed. Even though the cut I got was very nicely done, the actual color of what I got wasn’t what I asked for. I went in, got very little input or explanation as to what she was going to do to get my hair to look like I wanted. I had shown her a couple pictures of what my desired results should look like before we started, and when I told her that I didn’t get what I expected she just said next time you can have that done. She should have offered to help me get it to the desired results. Alicia seemed in a bit of a hurry at the end because another client came in. Hair Forte was the first and only place I trusted to chemically treat my hair and even though the first stylist that I had there did a great job, this experience left me feeling like I had the balayage done at super cuts. :/​I always felt going into Hair Forte was a treat, but I won’t be returning because of this experience.

Ive seen Ashley 2 times already. The first time was through groupon and I loved it. Very knowledgeable with a great personality as well. I wanted to go from medium brown to blonde and she said she will go as light as she can cuz she didn’t want my hair to get damaged so she did a light brown caramel so pretty I actually really loved it. My hair is curly also and it looked good natural too. Its been hard for me to find find someone that can work well with my hair type they always fry it it’s really frustrating so I’m really happy with Ashely’s work. The 2^nd time I paid full price and it was so worth it she even trimmed my hair and styled it. I wanted to go lighter of course. She did like a combination of blonde balayage and highlights which looks sooooo good when i wear my hair natural. I don’t even want to straighten it anymore. My hair has never stayed this healthy and soft before either. Ashley really knows her stuff and I trust her completely with my hair. Can’t wait to go back again:)

Leyah is amazing! She takes her time to color my hair. This place is super friendly and cute. This is my first time coloring my hair blonde and I love the result. Leyah is the person to go to!

Terri is fantastic. She has an uncanny, keen sense of color. A friend of my found her by noticing someone’s color. My friend loved Terri and referred me to Terri. I’ve been getting my hair cut and colored by Terri for 6 – 7 years. I’m always complicated on my color. It looks natural, never off. Always perfect.

Ashlee did an awesome job! She accomplished exactly what i was looking for, and no other stylist could! Got the blonde locks i was hoping for. Hint: dont buy the groupon! It takes 50% away from them. Instead mention the groupon and theyll honor it!

Loved my experience at hair forte! Ashley knew just what I wanted and did a great job. Cute place too!

Came here to try balayage for the first time. I spoke with Leyah who scheduled me an appt with Ashlee and I’m glad I did. She’s super sweet and really did some magic on my boring brown color. Definitely coming back! All the girls there seem super friendly and are good at what they do. Thank you, hair forte! :))

Best place to get your eyebrows threaded at. See jeet if you want to make your eyebrows to look amazing (:

Teri is the bomb, I have been coming to her for years and she never fails to do an awesome job!!! Highly recommend her for men’s haircuts!

I was reading bout hair forte I forgot where I was reading lol but I was reading bout leyah and she had alot of good reviews so I decided to book appt with her I glad that I did cos she very bubbly and professional and know what she doin. I feel very comfortable at her salon it very cozy. I had an ombré balayage and I love it. A year later I don’t get my hair touch up or trim I got preg and couldn’t do much (traditionally). My roots was Growing out and my old ombré balayage was growing out with split ends lol but she did a trim and new ombré and balayage but since I hadn’t done my hair for so long I guess it didn’t turn out exactly the color I want but I definitely gna go back for another session to get it lighter. leyah is great and very friendly I would recommend her.

I live in NYC and was in Sacramento for my best friend’s wedding this weekend. Leyah and her team did the Hair and makeup for all of us bridesmaids and family members. We came to the salon and had the best experience! Generally, I find, that wedding makeup is caked on, and just way too over the top… Leyah and her beautifying squad did such a gorgeous natural-​looking job on the makeup, and the hair was phenomenal as well. Thank you Leyah for prepping all of us to look our best for one of the best nights of our lives. You did an amazing job! Highly recommend this place for any big parties needing to beautify for a special occasion.

After going through a horrible experience at a nearby salon, I stumbled across this Gem. Leyah is my new go to hair stylist! Even though her shop was closed, she still opened the door for me to talk about what she could do for my hair. Scored bonus points for me already .
Leyah is a total expert and you are in good hands if she ever gets to do yours! She gave me the best perm I’ve ever gotten in my life! I also received a complementary eyebrow threading by another employee, but I didn’t get her name (I wish I had asked before hand!). My eyebrows turned out excellent and I love them so much! They have the perfect arch!
I highly recommend this hair salon. Prices are very reasonable and they have such great service! You can tell Leyah really loves her job. She treats her employees well because everyone seems pretty content. She’s very funny too. I didn’t witness any negativity in the salon at all and the atmosphere was only filled with positive vibes. Heck, I would totally work for Leyah if she wanted me to! It definitely takes a one of a kind boss to be liked and Leyah is definitely one of them. Will for sure be going back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ve been looking for a place that does henna in Sacramento for a long time, and finally found Hair Forte! Jeet was very sweet and helped me pick out a design for each of my hands. She did a beautiful job on both designs, and also did a small fish design on my mom’s leg. She also threaded both my mom’s and my eyebrows for free! They look amazing, I’d definitely recommend coming to Jeet for all of your henna and threading! Very reasonably priced, beautiful, professional service.

I found this salon on a whim several years ago when I lived in the area, and ended up becoming a regular of Leyah’s. As a hair stylist and artist, Leyah does an excellent job on my hair every visit. She is very attentive and friendly, and gives me just the cut/​color that I’ve been looking for. I really like that Leyah also takes the time to professionally style my hair (not every salon does this, or if they do, they do it very minimally). I always leave my appointments with Leyah looking and feeling like a rock-​star.

Love my hair color and highlights ! I walked in with a urgent need for color and a cut. The girl was so helpful suggesting colors to complement my skin tone and also did a color correction. My hair turned out better than I could have imagined. Also I received a hair cut that made my hair feel thick and was actually even! I love love love this place and will always recommend it to anyone. They aren’t pushy and the prices are fair. Also the products are great. That’s why I am returning today :)

I may have found a new stylist! Ashlee was amazing this afternoon when I came in for a hair cut. I had pretty long hair and I wanted it cut to my shoulders. She listened to exactly how I wanted it and I love it! She was also super friendly and talkative which makes the experience that much better. Thanks Ashlee!

I went in today for my first time! Ashley did an AMAZING JOB on my ombré violet hair! She added pink in to make the colors pop. and it is gorgeous. She was extremely friendly as were the other members of the staff.
It was a biiiiitt expensive but other than that I enjoyed my visit.
Thank you Hair Forte.

Pretty unhappy with results. All gray still showing after root cover up. Called to get my hair recolored and it took me 6 phone tag calls until I gave up. Also for being a salon in a strip mall, roots plus basic trim = $ 140…hmmm

Im new to Sacramento and have been looking for a new stylist! Thanks to Linda, I was finally able to get that blonde ombré I’ve been obsessed with getting! I told her what I wanted and it turned out amazing! I even loved the way she styled and curled my hair! She was super sweet, patient, and listened to everything I wanted! I have already scheduled my next appointment with her next year! Soo excited about this place! Everyone is nice and they all work together! I love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

U WOULDNT EVEN GIVE THIS PLACE ONE STAR!!!
Leyah — cocky stylist who only brags about her work. She should let her work speaks for her.
I went in to her an ombré done and the whole time she talked about her price ranges (120 – 170) because of her great work.
She curled my hair and it was ok. Plus it was late and dark. She charge me $ 120 discount price, she claimed. The next day I washed my hair and realized how uneven and harsh my ombré is. I was so unhappy! Called her and she was so rude about it.
Services sucks. I will never go back or recommend anyone to go to her.
