New Model Salon

Went for the second time in a month. I was recommended from a friend. Booth 6 did an excellent job the first time so I decided to come back. Another barber said he could take me, I told him I was waiting on 6. He says he won’t have time and he could take me. I said OK I’ll try you, how are the fades. He said never mind with your attitude I won’t take you. Him and another lady begin to yell at me and curse me in English and their language. Terrible customer service!!! I would not recommend and its too bad because I’m sure the work is good, but who would want to be part of that atmosphere

If you’re looking for a quick haircut at an affordable price, this is the place! She straightened my hair afterward but don’t expect a lot of small talk and a shampoo. That’s just how Vietnamese people run their business — efficiency at an affordable price. I’ll definitely come back. I usually have my mother cut my hair, but she’s pretty conservative (anything that isn’t long layers is too much for her to deal with). I wanted to try an undercut for the first time and was kind of nervous about it. I also asked her to trim my hair and keep the long layers. I came in with a few pictures to show the stylist, and she was quick and accomodating. I appreciated that she asked me twice just to be sure where I wanted her to cut and at what length. She joked that my mother, father, or boyfriend would have a fit with this edgy haircut, but that’s precisely why I needed to go here to get it done lol!
The haircut came out to be $ 12. After I added tip, it came out to be $ 16. They accept credit card ($ 10 minimum), which is wonderful, because I forgot to stop by the ATM to get cash. The receptionist was very friendly as well. She told me she’s been here for 20 years and has never seen me around before (I live in Elk Grove, and my mom usually cuts my hair). When I called ahead of time to set up an appointment, they told me that I could just walk in. I put my name down and waited for 5 minutes at 4pm on a Friday. The haircut took maybe 15 minutes, tops. Thanks, New Model Salon! I’ll let my friends know :)

Whenever I got my eyebrows done by Angela, they were perfect every time. However, she no longer works here. Does anyone happen to have any of her contact info? I never grabbed a card and I really would like to see where she relocated! Any who, Lisa also does a fine job with eyebrow waxing and she cut my niece’s hair very nicely!

Good with the haircuts but NOT too Clean… used stuff from the SOILED drawers! Guess they don’t know about the health department! Not coming back until they Clean Up their act!

They always over thin my eye brows& I always have to grow it out too get my natural thick look back. But I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl & im 19 now! Never got my hair cut anywhere else.

No fuss cut ‘n go. That’s what I’m talking ’bout. Don’t expect small talk or even hair washing here (if you don’t ask for it), but for $ 7 for a men’s haircut and $ 10 for a one-​length women’s cut, I was a pretty happy camper. Although the place was pretty full when we walked in on a Saturday afternoon, there were plenty of barbers, so we were seated about 15 minutes after we walked in.
I was slightly worried about the quality I would be getting at the price, but I was pleasantly surprised with the Asian lady with a waist-​long ponytail who cut my hair. She was quick and efficient about cutting one layer at a time. Additionally, I usually have to request them to only use scissors (vs. those thinning shears) so I don’t get even more split ends. However, the lady exclusively used scissors without my prompting. I asked for one inch of hair to be cut, and she did exactly that — nothing more, nothing less. Usually at these cheapo places, I get way more hair chopped off than I want. She had pretty long hair herself, so I guess she could relate to how difficult it is growing out hair. After the cut, she promptly started using an iron to style my hair, and it was so soft and nice afterwards! No frayed, crispy, or frizzy ends like I usually have after a cut. It was so nice I didn’t even want to go swimming afterward for fear of ruining it.
Where has this salon been all my life?!
As for the men’s haircut, I’d have to give it 4 stars. They can do very simple buzz cuts, but they aren’t as good with longer men’s hairstyles, like the faux hawk. The layering just isn’t as smooth throughout, and they aren’t really good at dealing with cowlicks. At least they can understand English and follow instructions though.

I came here on review of the previous Unilocal who gave this place a great review but I regret coming in here.
I got seated pretty quickly, down at station 5 she asked what I wanted and I told her.
Shorter layers, just a trim no more then an inch. I told her the previous salon I went to didn’t do a good job at blending in the layers and I wanted that fixed.
Things were fine.
Then she whipped out her scissors are started hacking at my hair. She started grabbing chunks of my hair and snipping away.
Her method of layering was nothing like I’ve ever scene before. She barely measured anything out. Didn’t check to make sure my hair was even. I watched as she snipped random parts.
I wanted to give her a chance, maybe this was her method and she would fix it up. But no, she snipped and chopped around my head and started to curl my hair so I couldn’t see the terrible job she’s done. I rushed home and dumped my head under water, dried it and took a look from the back. It’s not even. Hair (usually) should have symmetry. I don’t have that. I bucked out $ 12 to have a lady have fun with my hair.
You have been warned about this shop.

I have been here many times. I found it on accident and I badly needed a trim. I met Lisa and I will never get my hair cut by anyone else again. She and everyone here are sweet and polite. It’s pretty busy so call ahead. My hair is to my waist and I am charged $ 20 for a trim, wash, and style. It’s unbelievable. I send my dad and brother here too. Tip big! They deserve it.

I’ve been going to this salon for 10+ years. The service is outstanding & the staff is extremely friendly & helpful. The prices are unbeatable and I would highly recommend this salon! Love the ladies here!

Me and all my friends have been going to this salon for 10+ years. They’ve been around for a long time and they cut really good hair for $ 7 there’s always a long line cause they do such a goodjob always and forever will go here

This place is small and a little elusive, but I was so happy I found it! It is in the same parking lot as S F supermarket and Quickly on Mack Rd. I came in on a Sunday afternoon and just walked in. They had a sign in sheet… Had to wait about 15 – 20 min, but no biggie… (I was still trying to decide what I wanted). I asked for a trim and bangs. Since my hair is so fine, she gave me advice on how to volumnize it. She did not chat with me too much, but that is fine because I like to just relax when I get my hair done. But she was super nice and let me know what she was doing along the way. Got my hair trimmed, banged, and styled (blow dry and curled) for $ 12! Thanks Vanessa!

I’ve gone here 3 times now. The last time is today. I just received a haircut from the younger Asian guy who has his station towards the end. He rushed my hair cut and the back of my hair has a lot of unevenness. He did a really really bad job. One of the worst if not the worst hair cut I ever received. He wanted to get rid of me and it took him like less than 10 minutes. There were not anyone around also so I do not understand the rush. I wanted a 2 on the sides and a short fau-​hawk. He left the back of my head basically uncut with the 2. I am extremely angry right now. I will not be going back and I do not recommend this IDIOT to anyone. The old Asian guy is very good though.

Asked Hung to give my bf a haircut… Took him less than 10 mins and he’s already finished. The result is ehemmm… Will not be back. Unfortunately, we didn’t find his talent suits our tastes.

Came back for a haircut and eyebrow wax. I wasn’t satisfied with the haircut at all. I showed the dude pictures of what I was looking for and he probably looked at it for like 10 seconds and moved on. I was looking for a high 1 on my sides and after seeing that it was a 3 on the upper-​sides, I asked the dude to give me a 1 on the entire side and he was clearly not happy about it.
The eyebrow was was still pretty good. But, after getting them threaded regularly, I don’t think I would recommend getting them waxed over threaded.
Cheap as hell though. Everything was cheap as hell.

What a gem.
I found this place from its Unilocal reviews and treked over to their slightly hard to find location. Totally worth it. The place is adorably cheesy and outdated, like something from a 70’s movie. The gal (I’m trying so hard to remember her name now… I think it may have been Tiffany??) was soooo sweet and delightful to talk to. I got a phenomenal haircut and then got my eyebrows waxed, too.
The total came to $ 18 ($ 12 haircut, $ 6 eyebrows). Wait, what!?! I’ve never had such awesome service at such unbelievably low prices. Tip like a mo-​fo, and enjoy!

Been going here for my brow waxes. The same lady does my eyebrows for me and she always does a fantastic job. :) Maybe i should ask her for her name next time but she was one of the younger ladies.

Came here on a monday… empty wich is sweet !!! Guy cut my hair like the pro he is. Def coming back.

I thought id check this place out after reading all the reviews. From outside this spot looks a bit outdated but, on the inside is where the magic happens, I asked for Hung (not sure about spelling sorry) and was promplty seated and asked what kind of cut i wanted.
I got a high fade which Hung did very well, not to mention super fast with crazy precision (hes been cutting hair for 18 years). I was out probably in under 15 mins from the point i stepped in the door. An added plus is they only charge $ 7 which leaves plenty of room to tip for my awesome haircut!

Hands down my favorite place to get a haircut. I love this place. You can’t beat $ 7!!! Quick service too!
I’ve been to many other places in Sac to get my haircut and so I know you won’t be disappointed here.

Popped by here after reading a few Unilocal reviews. This place is fantastic. Angela gave me the haircut I wanted and all I had to do was show her a few pictures and in about 15 minutes I had exactly what I imaged. And what’s better– it was only $ 12! Also, it’s right next door to a Quickly so I could grab a boba and takoyaki afterwards! It’s only missing a star for two reasons: 1) I called ahead to try and make an appointment and they said I couldn’t because they weren’t busy… and then I showed up and had to wait 20 minutes. 2) The staff could have been a little friendlier.
Definitely coming back, though!
