Best Hair Salons In Santa Barbara

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to the talk of the town for years to manage my hair loss and have been very happy with the service. Nico is very talented and professional.“

“Excellent service and staff,
Leanna did the best haircut ever !!!
( Beatles Haircut, very rare style, very 1960's style )“

“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!!“

“Lupe is my go to hairstylist I don’t trust salons with my curly hair because I’ve been let down before but I finally found my girl Lupe ?? everytime I get highlights with her I get so many compliments thank you for helping this mama feel pretty everytime highly recommend this salon ??“

“Brie (sorry if my spelling is off!) is awesome. She listened to what I wanted, even though I’m sure she wanted to take off more, due to damage. And my hair looks spectacular. I feel like this cut is going to grow out really well, too. She’s easy to talk to, also. I would definitely recommend Brie.
Thanks:)“

“Vanessa spent a lot of time talking about the color and cut I wanted. Which was nice, instead of just jumping into whatever. She ended up doing highlights and balayage in my hair. I let her do whatever she asked since by that time I knew she knew what she was doing. I really like the color and cut. I am pleasantly pleased. Her prices are fair, which is very much appreciated.
I will definitely be going back to her. She’s my definite go to.
She’s also very down to earth.
Thank you Vanessa ❤️“

“I’ve been going to Chandler Men’s Salon for over 10 years. Gillian does an outstanding job, is always friendly, and consistently provides a great experience. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your hair for that long, and Gillian has never disappointed. Everyone at the salon is welcoming, professional, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. I highly recommend Gillian and the entire team at Chandler Men’s Salon.“

“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!!“

“I could not love Amanda and her salon anymore, the Salon is calm and beautifully decorated, with a lovely set of stylists and clientele. I've seen Amanda for at least 5 years and she's always done a beautiful job and is able to get my thick hair highlighted, cut and dried under three hours! I highly recommend Leone salon!“

“Jade W. did my hair and I’m genuinly really happy with how it turned out! I don’t trust a lot of people with my hair, especially since it was naturally dark virgin hair.. so I’m pretty picky, but she made me feel comfortable right away! She really listened to what I wanted and didn’t overdo anything, which I appreciated. By the end of it alll she made me lighter brunette with dimension that looks super natural but still has depth and movement. She’s meticulous and good with details and the blend is really soft so it grows out nicely without harsh lines.
The whole appointment felt easy and not stressful, and you can tell she knows what she’s doing without making it feel intimidating. If you’re someone who’s picky about your hair like me and wants a brunette (even better go blonde) that isn’t one-dimensional, I’d definitely recommend her!! 10/10“

“I went to Norma. I explained what i wanted (lighter and natural looking and able to grow out easily) and she executed perfectly!!! She spent the time to be very detail oriented and then used a toner and a very flattering cut. I have never been so impressed with the results. They look natural and not like streaky highlights. ? recommend. I found my new hair girl ??“

“My experience with Kalib is always superb! He listens attentively to what I am looking for and if for some reason I am not thrilled with the outcome, he generously offers to schedule again to ensure I am happy with it. I throughly enjoy our conversations and deeply appreciate his radiant warmth and welcoming personality.“

“I saw Dana for a medium cut and she was so nice! She really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. I'll definitely be coming back.“

“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 only the highest praise for the services I’ve received from Hair by V. Being a cosmetologist myself, I am very particular about who works on my hair and how I want it done. Vanessa is such a perfectionist and such a pro. After losing my long time hairdresser a few years ago, I’ve struggled to find the right person. I feel so fortunate to have found her and I’ll be a loyal client for years to come. I ALWAYS receive compliments on my hair! Thanks V, Love ya girl?“

“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!“

“Fabian is a great hairstylist. Very calm and relaxed like his shop Sequel. Sequel has a nice hidden plaza behind where two adjacent restaurant/bars are to enjoy while waiting. Highly recommend Fabian if you don’t know what to do with your hair and bring a photo. He’ll let you know pros/cons and what goes good with your face and body type. He will also go into detail about the hair product based on hair type and style.“

“Tiffany is great and she hires good people too! And beyond her obvious wisdom and expertise with hair & beauty (even though it's really about what's on the inside!), she listens well to random people who drop by her salon to say hello, and aren't even a regular paying cu$tomer (yet); like me.

So, what's that tell ya?

If you need your hair, etc. done, I highly recommend Blossom Salon.“

“I've been seeing Selena for hair coloring services for years and the experience has only gotten better since she and Elyse opened Luce. It's a cute salon is clean and thoughtfully styled. The ladies are so welcoming and always do exceptional work, whether it's coloring or extensions. They offer high quality products and work with you to understand and help you achieve your hair goals - mine being blonde coloring, long length, and more volume, for example. I highly recommend the salon, Selena, and Elyse!“

“I've been going to this salon for ages, all the stylists are incredible, and had a Magic Sleek straightening procedure for the first time. I've been doing Keratins for years, but decided to try something new. Ariel was the stylist and the results have been amazing. This procedure is far better than a Keratin and my hair has never looked better. I highly recommend this salon and Ariel.“

“They took me at the last minute and she gave me an exceptional haircut and style and minimal time, but I came out feeling a lot better than before and I think they provide excellent service“

“Went to Kimberly’s Wig Shop & was very impressed with how attentive the owner was. Of course I needed to buy a wig cap which makes sense for the safety of others trying on wigs. I was able to purchase a wig with the honest advice for the owner which I appreciate because she has a lot of experience & I was new to getting a wig. I will definitely go back to purchase another wig in the future. I recommend Kimberly’s shop for anyone needing to go local.“

“Hair doctor ! ??? in and out and my hair colour is exactly how I wanted it! Time
Flew by !“

“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!“
