Ideal Cuts in Folsom, CA

A couple of months ago my husband referred me to this place. He had been getting his haircut here for about a year now and never thought about suggesting this place to me until he saw I was struggling to find a more affordable haircut. Compared to the crazy average price of $65-70 (before tip) at other salons for a simple woman's haircut, this place is very affordable without sacrificing quality! The staff are all super friendly and offer great customer service. The interior design is plain but that's not necessarily something I care about -- to me it's all about the quality and service the hairdressers can deliver to their customers. This place checks all the right boxes. I went to Anna as recommended and she is amazing! She is the first hairdresser I've been to in a long time who is able cut & blend my layers exactly how I want without the use of thinning shears. On top of that, she gave the best scalp massage when washing my hair; it felt sooo good. I came here last week for the second time and I will be coming back many, many more times. :)

When i got a perm they thought oh lets not cut 3 inches of his bangs with siccors, no lets cut it with chemicals instead and additionally give him bangs that will get split ends a week after a trim. Im not egen joking after couple days after i got it they mustve positioned the curling things wrong cause my hair was breaking right at the follicle maybe a mm above it and for like a month i was having to remove the broken and dead hairs. Even now, ive stopped getting tight perms and have gotten them as loose as possible but i got a trim a couple weeks ago and guess what? I have split ends again! Also im kinda annoyed that they diddnt put chlorophyl into my hair or whatever makes it smell less, it smelled a lot like tuna mixed with hair eating chemicals. Anyway toodles dont get a perm there!

This review is specifically based on the service I've received for many years and kids hair cuts. They are very accommodating when it comes to the haircut details and directions, and normally don't have to repeat myself. They are also very affordable and quick on their haircuts. Once or twice, however, they haircut techniques and results vary from stylist to stylist, some having to correct a few things from the last hair cut. And if they could sanitize combs and accessories more frequently, that'd be very reassuring. Overall, don't think o can find a better value.

Called ahead and was able to make a same day appointment. Stylists were friendly. I think it was Van's first day or week on the job and she was wonderful. She looked at my hair and gave me suggestions, and then gave me a beautiful trim. And the price was not outrageous ($30), like other salons around.

Most welcome of discovery by chance when there weren't any parking spaces in front of Meissner sewing and the only spot left was in front of Ideal Cuts! I drove there after work to pick up my sewing machine from completion of a tune up. I had been wanting to schedule a haircut or a digital perm for over one month already so decided to take a chance at this new place for a walk in appointment. There wasn't one guest inside and I was welcomed to enter and take a seat. Van greeted me with a warm smile and asked what I would like to have done. I originally mentioned a simple hair cut with layers to get more volume for my over grown long thin straggly hair however decided to trust Van with a body wave after spending some time with her. She spoke with Jenny and decided there was enough time scheduled to take care of my bodywave so I was very grateful. Both mentioned because of the heavy rain there weren't too many walk ins that afternoon. A hair stylist is a personal choice and there needs to be trust involved when it comes to getting a completely new look. I found Van to be very gentle, attentive, sweet, kind, friendly and most of all professional with her character and style. There is a calming energy about her that is most welcome after spending the day working and needing to feel relaxed and comfortable. My hair was so thin and over grown too long and although I normally get a digital perm which is healthier for the scalp I decided to have a regular old fashioned bodywave this time. Every 2-3 years I like to take a break from curling my hair and it had been about 2 and a half years since my last digital perm. I was amazed at how comfortable I was with Van since we just met for the first time as we talked about many things and shared our stories together. I could have stayed there just to continue getting to know her better and share more stories about our lives with one another. The business became very busy about half an hour after I began my process. With just Jenny and Van working alone the energy of Ideal Cuts could have become mayhem however the both of them remained calm and warm with assisting the guests and answering of the phones in a professional and friendly manner. There were about 7 other guests who were taken care of while I was waiting in between for the solutions to be timed and completed. 3 young boys, 3 men and 1 lady. I was amazed and very impressed at the calmness and friendliness of energy both Van and Jenny showed by never rushing their guests and taking their time with each one to make sure they were each satisfied and happy with their hair cuts. I am surely going to be a return guest at Ideal Cuts and I am also going to recommend my hubby, sisters, friends and other family members if anyone asks where they can go for a haircut/style and highly recommend this place!
