Hair Salons near Isla Vista

“I’m very happy with the service, the lady was so kind and patient. I got a butterfly haircut with her, she took her time to make sure it look good. Very happy with the results!!!“

“I’ve been to Anastacio a handful of times and after years of not being able find someone in Santa Barbara who can cut my thick hair well, I’ve found my guy.

Anastacio is professional, focused and does a great cut. I’ve been to excellent stylists in LA and NYC and Anastacio is one of the best cuts I’ve ever gotten.

Highly recommend.“

“Katherine has been cutting my hair for over a year now, and she’s the only stylist I’ve found who truly knows how to cut my hair exactly the way I like it. Before finding her, I went to several other hairstylists and salons, but I never had great experiences and was often disappointed with the results.

As a guy who’s very picky about who cuts my hair, finding Katherine was a game changer. She understands my hair, listens to what I want, and consistently gets it right. One thing I really appreciate is how well her cuts grow out. I can go 5-6 months without needing a haircut and only come back for a reshape.

Every time I sit in her chair, I feel completely confident that my hair is in good hands, and it always comes out the way I want it to. Katherine’s attention to detail, skill, and consistency are why I keep coming back. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist they can truly trust.“

Xanthia cut my hair and taught me a lot on how to take care of it as well.

As a queer person myself, I've never felt more safe and welcomed in a haircut place than this location and I strongly recommend others to try this place out.“

“I found Daisy from a Nextdoor post and decided to book. I’m so glad I did! Her and Jazzmin have amazing energy and really make you feel welcomed.

I’m a bit sad that haircuts are so far apart because it felt like everyone was old friends in the salon. I look forward to coming back!

I booked a trim and conditioning treatment. My hair feels so soft and I got so many compliments on it that night! I definitively recommend coming here.“

“I MISS Yvette doing my hair and our chats! Free therapy and tons of laughs with the absolute BEST hair coloring and cuts in the county! When I lived in south Florida I’d visit home, SB, and purposely get an appointment that was when she was in a place in La Cumbre plaza Omgosh my whole family’s been going to her for prob 25 years! Hoping to visit this summer and without a doubt will be seeing her! Oh and her brother I think his names Carlos, he’s incredibly talented also! They’re the best duo and always so fun!!“

“I have received facials from Denise since 2015, before she opened her private business and provided her amazing services in a salon. I followed her business in 2017 when she opened her studio, as she is by far the best esthetician I have been to. This week, I am turning 23 and extremely happy with my skin. I used to struggle with cystic acne during my teenage and young adulthood years. Denise taught me how to prevent acne scars, calm my face, and protect myself from severe breakouts. Now, after using Accutane (I chose this treatment as cystic acne began to prevent good sleep), I only get hormonal breakouts a maximum of once a month, and I have suffered VERY minimal scarring! She is extremely well-educated in skincare and the science behind the skin microbiome and what it needs to glow! I 100% recommend Denise!!“

“Ayoola Braiding Bar INC is hands down one of the best hair salons I’ve visited. The stylists are experienced, friendly, and dedicated to delivering excellent results. They listened carefully to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. My braids look amazing and feel very natural. The environment was welcoming and professional, making the whole experience enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends and family!“

“Great experience! Lindsey was amazing – extremely knowledgable about hair. She really listened to what I wanted, and was thoughtful in how she approached executing it. Very happy with my cut and style, and looking forward to seeing her again! There was also a parking lot right in front of the salon.“

“Was assisted right away. Got the cut that I asked for in very little time. Perfect.“

“Just had my first appointment here and had a wonderful experience with Adela. I got a perm and she did such a great job. I have quite thick& extremlyy straight hair and she was so diligent and patient. She did a great job at answering any and all questions I had and made me feel very comfortable! It is quite difficult to find a salon that does perms in the 805 and Adela totally came to the rescue! I am so pleased with the results :’) the salon itself is so cute w so much character. I love to be in a salon that has personality & fun decor haha! Overall I had a great experience and I will be returning to have Adela do another perm in the future! Highly recommend!“

“I've tried so many places for my 3 boys, myself, and husband. Nobody compares to Carol. She is a thorough professional and the nicest person you'll meet. Never going anywhere else.“

“I have been going to this location for years. Audrey is quick, friendly and does a fantastic job. She is the only one I will let cut my hair.“

“I hired TEAM Hair and Makeup after a couple of friends had great experiences, and they truly lived up to the recommendation. While they are the more luxury pick price‑wise, it was worth every penny for their organization and attention to detail. Before my trial, they sent multiple preparation forms that made everything feel seamless. I was paired with Karina, who was patient, easygoing, and incredibly detail‑oriented. Mar also offered insight into my look, and together they created such a fun, supportive environment that made me feel confident heading into my wedding day.

They took all my feedback for the day‑of look and were so attentive. I loved that they sent a full schedule a week before the wedding, complete with assigned time slots for everyone getting hair and makeup. It made coordinating so simple and saved me from being the “bad guy” assigning a 7am slot.

On the wedding morning, the front desk sent them to the wrong building, which caused a delay, but they handled it with total professionalism. Karina spent so much time making sure I felt comfortable and relaxed, and it made the morning feel calm and pampered. I loved my hair and makeup.

I would absolutely recommend TEAM to any bride who wants to feel pampered, confident, and beautifully elevated on their wedding day.“

“Great place to find any beauty products.
First time trying the hair salon in 2026.
The team is very knowledgeable. Great experience!“

Highly recommend Alan if you’re looking for someone who truly cares and does an amazing job every time!“
