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 can’t say enough good things about Tami at Talk of the Town! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and listened carefully to exactly what I wanted. My hair extensions turned out absolutely beautiful—blended perfectly, looked incredibly natural, and completely transformed my confidence.

Tami is not only amazingly talented, but she’s also kind, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients. She took the time to explain the process, gave me great advice on maintenance, and made sure I was happy with every detail before I left.

I’ve received so many compliments on my hair, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re considering hair extensions, I highly recommend Tami at Talk of the Town. She truly has a gift and provides an exceptional experience from start to finish!“

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

“Karla is super talented and wonderful to work with! She understands blonde hair and has a great eye for color. So glad we found her! Highly recommend.“

“Chanelle is amazing! I've had the best curly cuts with her and they grow out great too.“

“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:)“

“First time here and I definitely loved it. Celeste Zepeda was very detail oriented and walked me through the whole process. Love how my hair came out!!“

“Briana was a pleasure to work with.
She did such a wonderful job livening up my natural hair color.
I love the way it looks and feels.
Thank you Briana!“

“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!!“

“Loveeeed my haircut with Kalib. He brought my hair dreams to life. Can’t recommend enough.“

“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 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 ??“

“Elyse is an amazing colorist. I am always getting compliments on my blond hair. People think it is my original color. (Ha!). Elyse is a wonderful person, always accomodating, and fun to be around. I admire her imitative in opening her own salon.“

“Jeff has been my stylist for almost 20 years. I have short, difficult hair which he cuts and colors every six weeks. The color always looks natural and the cut is very precise. Jeff will take whatever time is necessary to get it right. The resulting hair style can be a little edgy (by design) but always looks professional when necessary. Jeff is a keen student of the discipline and keeps up and learns new products, techniques, etc. Besides the superior cosmetology skills Jeff has a wide-ranging intellect and it’s a pleasure to talk to him during my visits. I was thrilled when he and his wife Nada opened their own salon, which is right downtown. Going there is always a pleasant experience.“

“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!“

“I have gone to Lana at Sequel two times now and am so grateful to have found her! She really listens to how you want your hair cut and makes the hair style look so beautiful. She has given me the best hair cut I have gotten in years.“

“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?“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Salim revived my curly hair. Best haircut of my life. I don’t think I will ever go to a different person if I can help it!! If you’re at a loss with your curly hair, go to Salim!“

“Cannot say enough good things about this place. The absolute BEST.

Truly saved the day by squeezing me in last minute, and they did such an amazing job. Will be returning and sending everyone I know to them! Also the kindest, most talented women ever. Thank you thank you thank you 🥰“

“Go to Nancy! Love my hair cut. Have had so many bad hair cuts and it's great to find someone I can trust. Just got a simple trim and face framing but she did a fantastic job.“
