Salon Nuriche

Recently had a facial and pedicure done by Brian! He was very personable and very good at what he does! He has a passion for his profession and you can tell! The salon itself is absolutely gorgeous and such a relaxing atmosphere. This is definitely my new go to place, highly recommended!

I can’t say enough good things about Katrena. She did my hair for my wedding and it was beautifully done. She was so easy to contact prior and I even had to cancel our appt due to my makeup person canceling on me. But I had such a good feeling with Katrena that once I was able to find a different makeup artist I decided to rebook with her and I’m glad I did. I showed photos for how I wanted my hair done and she matched it. She even showed my maid of honor how to pull my veil out and how to change the real gardenia out of my hair to replace with a fresh one. We did a hair trial and I had her do my hair day of wedding and Courtney did my bridal party. We loved our updo a with braids incorporated. One of my wedding party is getting married in July and wants her hair done here. I highly recommend Katrena and Courtney! I loved talking with her to as we were getting ready. Superb quality and excellent service!

Brian is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he professional but he is personable. He has chosen wonderful colors for me and always does a great job. He is flexible and always works with my busy schedule. I would recommend him to anyone!

This review is for the wonderful & most fabulous hair stylist, COURTNEY PADILLA.
She is an expert in every area of hair. From bleach to color to extensions to cuts & styles, she can not only do it, but she does it WELL!
I will seriously never go to anyone else for my hair again. She is a true professional, and such a sweetheart. She holds a great conversation, and works to accommodate your schedule the best she can.
I have been bleaching my hair for years, and trying to grow it long at the same time, which is no easy feat. She has kept my hair extremely healthy while achieving the level of blonde that I want. I’m happy to say I have the longest, healthiest hair I’ve had in years. Courtney listens to your wants/​vision and truly makes it happen. She does a beautiful job showing you different options and walking you through the process of what you’re having done. Courtney is beyond fantastic, and works with you on whatever look you are going for.
I have followed Courtney to Salon Nuriche from her previous salon because I am so impressed with her and so happy with my hair.
Salon Nuriche is also is very clean, with great décor that makes it feel warm and inviting and in a great location in charming downtown Auburn.
If you are looking for a new stylist don’t hesitate to call Courtney! She has been doing my hair for years, and I walk out feeling like a million bucks every time!

Once again I had such a lovely experience. The salon is so beautiful and relaxing. I even had a chair massage with Bob while my color was processing! Two thumbs up for this hidden gem!

I have been going to Mary for over 10 years and was so happy when she decided to open her own salon. Salon Nuriche is a 10! The salon is so tastefully decorated and the staff, all friendly and professional! Whatever you need, updo for a special occasion, style, blow dry, color, fingers and toes, they do it all very well! Also, they carry a great line of hair products.

I have to admit, I am not the kind of person who has her hair done on a ritual basis, I typically settle for what is close by or convenient, and Salon Nuriche has broken that mold for me! I love going here so much! Katrina has cut, styled and colored my hair for a couple of years now and it never disappoints! The feel of the salon is so warm and welcoming. Mary the owner is an absolute doll and her creative style comes out in her work and in her business. Everything from the tastefully done interior decorating to the friendly staff is inviting. Each stylist takes the time and attends classes to keep them current on all the latest styles… this is the first place I went to that talked to me about cutting my hair to MY FACE, not just a cut that would work on everyone… they really take the time here… I know that I will get the look that I want, the comfort and relaxation that everyone deserves and leave feeling fresh and confident.

GREAT atmosphere. I have known Mary for sometime and she really created what she would want in a salon when she opened Salon Nuriche. Top notch service…

As a first time client at Salon Nuriche, I wasn’t really sure what to expect BUT was really super pleased with the experience. I received a gift certificate from an auction benefit I attended and was excited to use the products in my gift basket (Redken and Pureology) and try a haircut from a fun new stylist, Brian Greco.
Brian was such a delight, telling me all about his travels and sharing about his fiancé, who is what brought him to Auburn from the bay area. The conversation flowed easily and I very much enjoyed the amount of time Brian took with my hair. He gave me honest and helpful input on what would be most flattering for my face and still be a youthful and fun cut. I left VERY happy!
Brians business cards lists him as not only a stylist BUT also as a color specialist, which is exciting to have in the area. Its so often that stylists will be a «jack of all trade» instead of really taking the time to become a true specialist at something… so I am very pleased to find out that Brian is a color specialist :)

I’ve been to Salon Nuriche several times now. I was referred to Katelyn by a friend. I’ve been to several salons in the area and have had a lot of mediocre haircuts. Katelyn really nailed it! I knew what I was going for and I wanted a cut that was edgy and funky, but still manageable for a fast lifestyle ie; able to be put up in a ponytail. She turned me on the this idea of a faux-​bob. I got all the funky chunky layers on top with some longer layers as well. So I’m able to braid the longer layers if I want and pin it under the short ones for a short hair look. So great!!!
Katelyn also framed my face really nicely and gave me great bangs that are strait! Seems like most stylists can’t cut in a strait line! lol. But Katelyn did an amazing job. I left feeling like I just got a cut in a high end salon in L.A. This is the best cut I’ve ever had in my life and every time I go back she listens to exactly what I want and does a great job.
I recently moved to Oregon and tried getting my hair cut by someone there. They did a horrible job. I literally had to come back to California to get Katelyn to fix it!
I definitely recommend asking for Katelyn.

I have been seeing Katrena for Color and Highlights for three years now. She is always professional and does an awesome job. I disagree with the previous reviewer. Katrena is very mature and always has been. I have seen her every 6 – 10 weeks for the past 3 years and never saw her as immature. There was one time when I wasn’t completely happy with my color. I brought it to Katrena’s attention and she promptly fixed it. The Salon is very nice and cozy. I love the layout and the ambiance. If you are looking for a nice experience and a great color, cut and style, see Katrena.

Bottom Line: great place. Calm and artful décor. Reasonable prices and personable service. The stylist section is a little nosier than I would like but definitely worth a try if you are looking for a new stylist or manicurist. Not sure if the place offers massage.
Longer version if you have time to read: This little gem is located in a spanish style house. The conversion from house to salon is seamless. Although it is a small space, it doesn’t feel cluttered in the least. The décor is calming and peaceful. The lighting is bright and sunny and the place has an airy feel to it.
The place has several spaces. The ones I noticed and liked are: a stylist area in the front of the salon, a hair wash and drying area and a mani and pedi area with great cooper bowls. The bathroom is clean and comfy with plants, lotions and candles. This place does not have a lot of cluttered décor — just a few nice touches here and there. I loved the overall tranquil and relaxed atmosphere there.
The prices are reasonable. Hair cuts are about $ 45. I had color correction done (yikes) and it cost me $ 50. What a bargain! I was VERY happy with the result. My color came out even and a pretty shade of brown.
Disclosure: I followed my long time stylist there. Obviously, I like her or I wouldn’t go there.
My only caveat is the stylist working area can get a little loud. If all four people work there at the same time with blower dryers or loud customers — it may not be very calming. I didn’t have this problem but could see it coming.
Recommendation: Yes. Definitely worth trying it out. I really liked the ambiance (that is half the battle with salons, right?). The prices are fair and it is hassle free. Personable service on top if all.
