“The blow dry bar is lovely, but can we talk about their best asset. JUNE Janus. I have never had better results with highlights. It's sunkissed goodness. The results are perfect from day one, no need to tone after, no need for anything that you may have done in the past. BOOK her, if she available. I even have a hard time as she popular and for reason.“
“I have never found someone to do my hair reliably, but once Sacha did my hair I knew I would keep coming back. She does absolutely beautiful bayalage, gives great cuts and styling! One time I decided to go a bit different with red, and she did great at communicating exactly what her plan was, it came out great! I have very thick hair but she never complained about it, and she's great to chat to also.
As long as I live in Santa Barbara, I'll be going to Sacha.“
“I/we had the most incredible experience with our team of Vanessa and Christina. They are highly professional, experts at what they do, attentive to personal needs and wishes, and very accommodating. I was nervous on my trial day and Vanessa and Christina talked with me about our vibe, and my desire for a natural look and tried several different options with me. I felt like a princess on that day and it only got better. They became part of the family - it was all so relaxed and fun! Mar was kind enough to accommodate last-minute additions from a close friend and family and on the wedding day, the team stayed with us for touch-ups for photos. They gave us the ultimate look, glow, and confidence. !!“
“I worked with Mar and her team for my wedding and they were absolutely exceptional, I couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. I was lucky enough to work with Mar for hair and Vanessa for make up. The trial was both so helpful and so much fun. They were both extremely flexible and open to feedback which made me feel comfortable enough to figure out what I wanted (which was different to the inspiration pictures I had selected - they were definitely not me!). I felt confident that they understood my hair/skin and knew what I wanted. I got my hair and make up done for the rehearsal dinner/welcome drinks - I highly recommend doing this - I was feeling a little nervous with all of the festivities starting and Mar ensured I was laughing non-stop and made me so comfortable and grounded. It felt like it kicked off the weekend so nicely. For the wedding day we had 11 people needing hair and make up, and I was concerned we would be starting really early, but we didn't need to start until 10am so I could enjoy the morning with my friends. In all my times as a bridesmaid I've never experience a team of artists work so quickly, yet make everyone look so stunning. Everyone was so happy with their look, and considering someone is usually unhappy, this was a relief! I can't recommend TEAM enough - it was one of the best parts of my wedding planning process. I got married in Santa Barbara, but would recommend seeing if you can work with them wherever your event is - they're that good!“
“I've had my haircut by Nancy a few times now. She does a great job every time & I would totally recommend her to friends and will be a return customer! Thanks, Nancy!“
“Ashley truly is a master of her craft. Her cuts are amazing, as she takes into account your lifestyle and if you will ACTUALLY style your hair the way the cut is supposed to be styled. I normally curl or blow out my hair so we decided on a very layered 90s cut. I get so many compliments! Thank you Ash!“
“Tracy is an expert hair colorist! She always listens to what I want, and knows the colors that work best. She does a great job giving me a beautiful style, while keeping my hair long. Tracy has an amazing way of balancing my desired look while keeping the health of my hair in focus. I highly recommend her!“
“Always love going to Salt; It's super easy to text Sierra and book appointments quickly without the hassle of the app which is also easy to use but of course she's so customer-focused and responsive she's great at texting; rare in this day & age! Super conscientious about getting back to you & getting you in. I go in for my color which is always great but today booked a quick haircut and she completely accommodated me by letting me leave without the blow-out and discounted it off which is incredibly helpful because I don't need the blow-out (my hair is up all day for work) and it makes it into an affordable luxury which I love. Everyone at the salon is friendly and sociable and you always feel like you're part of the Salt fam. It's a new gem in town and the salon has a unique feel with super modern & clean minimal set-ups which actually make a lot more sense than the tried and true stations that most salons op for; I love their re-imagining of what a salon station should be - it's great. Free waters and drinks while you're there and it's easy to get in quickly. Great spot - give it a try!“
“I recently received a men's haircut from the owner, who's been in this space for over 20 years. She was friendly, fast, and a true pro. I didn't want a super-short barbershop cut, so I decided to try this salon. She handled things with just a pair of scissors but she quickly got the job done. I'll be back!“
“Attentive, always gets my hair looking great, with a wonderful sense of humor! I love coming here.“
“Adorable one-seat shop, which makes for a more unique and intimate setting. Owner is classy, friendly, and very experienced. Come see Varni!“
“They are Fantastic! amazing job! Makeup stayed all day! I’m someone who never wears makeup and the thought of someone doing my makeup scared me because I thought it might be too much. But they did the most perfect natural look, & my skin still looked like skin. 100% recommend. They were so sweet and accommodating when I asked them to do both my mom and sister’s hair last minute. Cannot praise them enough.“
“Went to Ryan & Deborah for 13.5 years off & on while living in SB. Best hair salon in the 805, hands down. Ryan does GREAT things with men's hair, and Deborah is also good for men's, but excellent for women's. Wish that i could find stylists this good in San Diego... i really miss them!“
“The shop was recommended to me by my roommate. My hair seemed so dry and decided I wanted a wash and blowout. I ended up having some waxing and getting a special conditioning treatment. Everyone in the shop is helpful and entertaining and knew their business. I will go back again soon and recommend them to others!“
“this place is awesome and the lady who cut my hair and my girlfriends hair is so nice and friendly! will definitely be coming back.“
“Absolutely love it I going pretty offended cost more money than previous place but it's ok. I love it.“
“Vanessa is seriously the most incredible and talented hair wizard there is and ever will be. She always manages to work with my disaster hair situation and help me last minute. I am so beyond grateful for her amazing work and help. As a performance artist I really need my hair to look good and this woman always makes magic! I would be nothing without Vanessa! She is so talented and I’ve tried to go to other people and there is no one out there with her expertise and profound knowledge of hair wizardry. I am so grateful. I’ve gotten my hair done here a few times and I will go nowhere else. I don’t live in town but she is well worth the three hour drive.“
“Nice Salon with talented stylists. This one has good parking and is easy to access. I would highly recommend Arleth.“
“This salon/barber is such a unique experience! My lovely stylist, Giane is my girl!!! She is so kind, professional and incredibly talented! If I lived in Santa Barbara-- we'd probably be besties! Im glad I forgot my hair tools because she did such amazing job with my beach waves and happy up half down hair-do. I'm ready for a beautiful wedding today! Thanks Giane!“
“Recommended the best service and above all the treatment is the same for everyone, there is no VIP for anyone, everyone is equally well drunk.“
“Today is Thank You Thursday in Yelp land, and I'd like to express my gratitude for this salon, in particular, Shawna L. I really messed up trying to do my own roots and made a giant mistake in doing so. I called her pretty last minute, before an important date, and she came in EARLY (8:15am) just to help fix my disaster. Not only that, but she did an AMAZING job. She left no trace of my mistake, and she gave me some rocking bangs, which really elevated my overall look. I was about to go on a first date with a fluorescent, 2 inch wide, skunk stripe down the center of my head.... And she really saved the date (which is tomorrow, wish me luck). Almost ever person I saw today complimented my hair. THANK YOU SHAWNA!!!! And thank you to this cute salon that made this miracle happen.“
“I had them do my hair for the wedding, and it turned out more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. Lisa was my stylist. I did a trial in their back room, which is super cute and newly done. I had my wedding at a venue, and they came to do our hair there on site. Lisa did such an amazing job on my hair, and she even helped me change my hair for the reception. Her assistant helped all my bridesmaids with touchups. The assistant was so willing to help with any style they wanted, as well as just curling or helping put flowers in their hair. I wouldn’t have had anyone else do our hair for our special day. I highly highly recommend!!!“
“Great pedicure. Great Pedicurist. The loud disquieting profanity from the hair salon was NOT great. Stylists complaining about their clients, blasting profanity like we were in a Men's locker room, random friends of people that worked in the salon strolling in like they're not supposed to be there because they knew they weren't. Acting like they don't know how to behave in a salon because they clearly don't. I didn't expect Salon Del Mar to be like the Four Seasons but I didn't think it was going to sound like an underground barbershop after midnight“
“Went to visit the area (amazing!) and on the recommendation of my friend, I booked an appointment with Leana. I was SO nervous about getting a haircut and my hair is badly damaged from all the color over the years so I was really happy with the care and concern from this stylist who listened to me and offered reassurance. I am very pleased with the results and HIGHLY recommend this stylist (and this salon which is very nice.) The service is excellent, I felt like family! The ambiance of the salon was very comfortable and welcoming: a treat for myself and I am glad I went and trusted her. My hair is much healthier now and Leana gave me tips for care as my hair grows out. I will definitely be back!“
