Nathan Michaels Salon

This review is only about Kimthy.
She is rude AF. She didn’t do what I asked her to and then charges me for something I didn’t ask for or agree on. When I told her how I felt, she told me to go somewhere else to get what I want because how she charges is probably out of my budget. All I asked was for some highlights/​babylights… it’s the same color as my faded out box color after she was done. She wanted me to wait until it fades to get what I want.
She is fluent in English and modern but with an ugly attitude just like previous salons I’ve gone to. I should of went back to a previous hairdresser even though she moved to North highlands. Now I know.

Evonne is not only the best hair stylist you will find in Elk Grove, but she is the best one you will find anywhere.
She can do anything you ask her to do cut or color wise and she is one of the most genuine/​sweetest person you will meet.
She’s great at explaining the whole process to you and helping you understand the different steps you might have to take to achieve what you are ultimately looking for.

Wish I could I give more than 5 stars for Kim! Third time coming to her and the results have been fantastic. Friends and family are telling me my hair has never looked better! Best colorist and stylist in the area… thanks Kim!

Hair Goodess Evonne herself does my hair when I go in!
She is so amazing and I swear she can duplicate anything I ever ask her to do!
She can fix any problem I have as well.
I have to admit I cheated on her once and ended up looking like a brassy penny but she squeezed me in and made me look amazing as usual!
She is quick, reasonable and does a fantastic job.
I always have her balayage my hair for me and it’s never streaky or have a hard line or anything!
I completely recommend her! And you’ll love her too!

I was happily surprised with this off the main road spot. In elk grove, along the blvd. there are a ton of salons — especially for hair. I went here off Unilocal reviews and was treated to a wonderful hair cut by one of the owners! He deep conditioned, fixed the bad layering a previous stylist had created and was very pleasant to boot. Highly recommend and pricing is fair.

Evonne does my hair and she does a great job, despite her long list of clients she hasn’t raised her prices to ridiculous highs like some other stylists although it’s not cheap, it’s worth it. The health of my hair has improved since I started getting my hair done by her, the color looks great and I don’t have to get it done quite as often as I used to because her technique lets it grow out naturally. I wish I could move this Salon to Sacramento instead of Elk Grove. They are professional and it’s clean in there and I would recommend the salon and Evonne to anyone.

I have lived in 3 different countries and 4 different states in the US. Considering myself very picky about my hair, by far this is the best hair Salon I have been at. Best in Sac and Elk Grove area for sure. Mike always knows what I want and does it even better than what I had in mind. Mike is very detail oriented and really puts his touch in what I told him I would like. He always listens and he takes his time to get it perfectly and beautifully well done. I know all of their hair stylists take great care of their clients and are very nice. Thank you for a great experience every time I visit you!

Do not go to kim/​kimthy… I saw her work on Facebook her pictures were great. I showed her a picture of the exact colors I wanted. But NO! my hair wasn’t even near the look. my hair turned out to be an ugly orange … she also said it would be $ 150 but in the end she charged me over $ 200… she’s also raising her price an extra $ 5 after August 1… she also pulls ur hair very hard! Do not go to her or this shop ! You have been warned !!
Bottom line: my hair is not worth $ 200! Not a happy customer!

Hannah does such an amazing job. I have never loved my hair so much. She has done my hair a couple times but this new cut was way over due

It’s been close to a year since I’ve gotten my last haircut so I decided to come back to Nathan Michaels salon. It was such a spontaneous decision because I was in the area after doing errands and I was wondering if they have any spots open for a hair trim with layers and long bangs. Hannah was at the front and greeted me right when I walked in the door. She was extremely friendly and told me that there isn’t any openings for the time I walked in, but she has a spot available for me 2 hours later if I wanted to come back. Since I live in the area I figured I’ll come back, mind as well right?
Hannah was so sweet and was great with my hair. She communicated with me the entire way and made sure that she did not cut too much but also wanted to achieve the look that I wanted. She took her time with my hair too which I really liked. The service which consisted of a dry cut, wash, and style started around 4:20PM and I got out around 5:15PM so she really took her time and made sure I liked everything.
The ONLY reason why I’m taking a star off (I wish I could just take half of a star off) is because it was uncomfortably warm/​hot in the salon. Like I was dripping sweat down my back the entire time and just felt uncomfortable for that hour I was sitting. It was nothing that Hannah did wrong at all because she did a fabulous job with my hair and I would recommend to her to everyone!

I found my stylist Evonne on Instagram and knew I had to book an appointment with her for balayage after seeing photos of her work. I came to her with quite a challenge and she handled it so well! I had previous grown out dark artificial hair color and as a hair stylist myself, I knew it wasn’t going to come out in just one session.
During my appointment with Evonne, she was super friendly and clearly explained every step to me. So much of the old color was removed and I know in my next session, it’s going to be just where I want it! Her balayage application was flawless and super blended.
As for the salon itself, it as adorable, and very clean. All of the other stylists clients left with beautiful hair. I would highly recommend Evonne and the salon as a whole!

My hair stylist was Evonne. I showed her pictures of what I wanted my hair to look like and even brought my friend in and said I wanted what was on her head. Balayage/​Ombré. And I know everyone’s hair is different and every stylist is different but she wasn’t really interacting with me.
After the whole process of coloring and washing, she had me sit facing away from the mirror and after blow drying my hair, she started curling away without even asking me. I don’t like when hairstylist curl your hair right after they colored it without showing you how it looks straight because they do it to hide their mistakes.
The results wasnt what I was looking for at all and I didn’t realize that until I saw my hair in natural lighting and I paid 200+ including tip! It just looked like she dyed it all around to a lighter brown and the job seems like I can do it at home.
The most disappointing thing is that she didn’t even offer a partial refund or to fix it or a discount on my next visit. (Never coming back even if she did) Her exact words was «there’s nothing I can do about it». Uhm excuse me? if you’re charging $ 150+ then you better make sure your customers are happy with the results. She claimed that my hair wouldn’t lift any lighter so I went to another hair salon, got a second opinion and got my hair lighten at that salon. Then I contacted Evonne again proving to her that my hair did go lighter with no harm or breakage and Evonne’s reasoning for my lighter and better looking hair is that it was my second session at the other salon. Uhm, I got my hair done not even a full 24 hours after getting my hair done by her. She also claimed that she uses high end expensive product, if your products are so high end and expensive then I should have walked out with results I wanted.
The way she handled things was not professional what so ever. You can’t even complain to the Nathan Michaels owners because she’s an independent and rents out her own space.
If you’re looking for a Balayage/​Ombré type of hairstyle, go to Luxi Hair Salon. Eva is really great at what she does and actual cares about her customers and she charges less!

I was super lucky to have found such an amazing hair stylist at Nathan Michael’s Salon. I was having a super stressful day at work and decided I needed a change! So I did what any girl does, I decided to get a haircut and an ombré. When things suck you change your hair right?!? I made my appointment for after work and was excited to see that the salon stayed open until 7, unlike the other ones that closed early at 5. That was the first brownie point!
When I got there I was greeted by a friendly face, and we got started right away on my haircut. Hannah did an amazing job on my hair. I really appreciated that she listened to what I wanted and did just that, unlike other hairstylists that seem to take liberties with your hair thinking they know what will look best even though it’s not what you wanted at all! Hannah did a great job on evening out my layers and getting my hair to lay just right.
I went back on Saturday to get my balyage ombré done. Again, Hannah was super sweet and listened to what I wanted and did just that! I love the way my ombré turned out and I had a great experience with the salon I found by chance on Unilocal!I lucked out finding Hannah and the salon. I’ve gotten compliments on my hair ever since and have been referring people to the salon. I will be making an appointment this month to bring my mom and aunt in to get their hair dyed and cut. They loved my hair so much they wanted to go too!

Ummm if you’re not already going to Evonne, then I have no idea what you’re doing with your life. She is absolutely amazing. She always gives me exactly what I want. I’m a red head, and red is by no means an easy color to work with. She is so sweet & fun, as well. The salon is clean and easy to find! Book with her early though, she gets busy, fast.
Doing a very cool blonde/​silver next. I can’t wait for my mini transformation.

The amazing and beautiful Mrs. Kim did my hair.
The picture speaks for itself.
This is the: Ombré Balayage.

Just like many of the other Unilocalers that have written reviews for Nathan Michael’s, I discovered this place because of Groupon and I’m so glad I’ve found it. My sister and I have been growing our hair out for awhile and decided it was time to take the plunge and hack it off because we were sick of it. We both have really thick hair and combined with the length, it was starting to get really heavy. We had appointments with Evonne this morning and she did an amazing job! She was really easy to work with, fun to talk to, and actually took her time to give us the haircuts we wanted. I’m totally obsessed with my hair right now. I keep swishing it around because I haven’t had my hair this short since college. My sister wasn’t sure of what she wanted so Evonne gave her suggestions and in the end my sister really likes her haircut too.
I’m so happy I found this salon because it’s much closer to my house and there’s a lot of parking. This place is GREAT!

At first I had a hard time making an appointment as I called on Monday. No one returned my calls that morning. Since I had a Groupon & lived in Elk Grove, I drove to the salon. Veronica was there & she helped make my appointment with the first available hairdresser who was Kimthy. I just asked Veronica if Kimthy is good with short hair? She said she’s great no matter what.
Deborah the owner called me the next day as I had left two messages on Monday. I just mentioned to her that I had driven to the salon the day before & made an appointment then. I was just worried that maybe they had gone out of business & I had the Groupon for nothing. But it calmed my fears by driving there & the owner called me too.
I got to the salon a little early. Kim walked in right at 10 & started on me right away. She’s super pleasant; knows her stuff. When she was done she had pretty much cut my hair the way I liked it. I was very pleased and happy with her. She has been cutting hair for 10 years now. Kim is 30 years young and an Aquarian.
She’s Cantonese Chinese too like me.
Even when I left the lady after me said what a cute haircut! That made me super happy. Now I have a hairdresser in Elk Grove that is close by!
I was able to use the Groupon with no problems. Because Kimthy did such a good job I will stay in Elk Grove and continue being her client.
If you’re looking for a new hairdresser in the Elk Grove area please give Kimthy a try. She works very hard from Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am until as late as needed; she mentioned she has worked as late as 10 pm!
You probably surprised that I didn’t knock down 1 star.
If I could I would have given Kimthy 10 stars!!! Give her a try; I’m thrilled I did!

After years of going to the same hairdresser for my haircuts & color, I decided I wanted a change and try out someone new. I did my research on Unilocal and this establishment caught my attention mainly because of their 5 star rating and reviews. I decided to make an appointment one evening and was told Kim will be my hair stylist.
I haven’t had a haircut in about a year and the color on my hair was fading out, so yes my hair looked hideous. Kim was very personable, accommodating and such a sweetie! I showed her a picture of the color/​highlights I wanted my hair to look and she worked her magic for the next few hours. After waiting about 2+ hours, I was anxious to see how the color turned out. The color slowly appeared while she was blowdrying my hair and I was surprised the color matched perfectly to the picture I showed her! She even styled and curled my hair which made it look even better!
I would highly recommend Kim for color and cut. With 10 years of experience in hair, she definitely knows what she’s doing. It’s been weeks since I last saw Kim and I’m still getting compliments on my hair!
Thanks Kim! ;)

Getting my hair cut and colored by my cosmetologist, Veronic Burke. Shes really talented and I recommend her to anyone who loves to be adventurous. I do my best creative thinking in the summer and thus I get more creative with my hair. With Veronica’s touch we added more golden brown highlights with a nice blend of mahogany to light golden brown and even a splash or two of bright fuchsia/​raspberry chunky pieces. I love it!
The prices are quite reasonable for the amount of time and work that a doo like mine takes. The environment is very relaxing and the client chairs are sooo very comfortable. Nathan Michael salon is about relaxation, comfort, and getting your hair on! So if you like to get your scalp massaged, which I love, and need to feel good about yourself you should go see Veronica at Nathan Michal Salon.

If I can give Kim more than 5 stars I would! I found Kim from a friend where she worked at where i use to eat and i always complimented her on her hair cut and color, she hooked me up with Kim and when I first met Kim, she spent time with me and talking to me about my hair. I felt really comfortable with her and let her have full reign of my hair. She gave me an A line haircut and I was in love. Her color technique is out of this world. I seriously think she is the very best in color. I have gotten so many compliments on her cuts and colors.
When you sit in that chair and she works her magic hands on your hair, you will walk out feeliing beautiful!
My thoughts about cost… sure you might think it’s a bit on the expensive side, but it is worth every cent. Cheap is not always the best price when you have to go somewhere else to fix it! Why go to someone who screws up your hair, doesn’t know what they are doing, the color is off and you walk out just hating it… Kim is worth every cent!
