I should've left this five star review over a year ago when she did my hair, but I am leaving it…read morenow because she deserves so much credit. I'm a natural auburn redhead and so I appreciated her. Still keeping my natural color but adding some blonde to it. That is not an easy task. KRESA is amazing at what she does. She made me feel so good after my appointment. To this day, I have not found anyone that can cut and color my hair like her. It's funny because when I first went to the salon in Ventura, it was because I was housesitting for my parents and since I live in a small mountain town I rarely get my hair done and I thought while I was there, I could do it. Little did I know that I knew Kresa from Bakersfield. I used to get my hair done at her salon that she owned, but didn't have the pleasure of getting my hair done by her. I live about five hours away and I am absolutely considering driving that far to get my hair done once I get a new job. If you need your hair done, seriously go to Kresa.

I moved to Ventura a few years ago, and I was on the hunt for a hairstylist who not only does an…read moreamazing job but is also friendly and professional. One day, while getting coffee at Palm & Boy across the way, I noticed a charming salon. Curious, I stopped by and was greeted by a lovely receptionist who immediately connected me with Corey. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery! Corey is not only skilled but also incredibly kind and compassionate. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine care, and I'm so grateful to have found her at Matiz Salon. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and I always leave feeling amazing. Highly recommend!

This was our first time here, and we had such a great experience! They were very accommodating and…read morewere able to book us an appointment right away, which we truly appreciated. The vibe in the salon was welcoming, relaxed, and positive -- it made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. Jennie did an amazing job on my daughter's hair, the color turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we expected. She was so patient and kind, and really took the time to make sure everything was perfect. She made my daughter feel comfortable the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. We're so happy with the results and will definitely be back!

I have had super bad luck with hairstylists since I moved to Ventura. Today I had an appointment…read morewith Emma at this salon and was excited because my hair badly needed color and a trim. I was very clear with the receptionist about what I needed when I scheduled the appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and was told Emma was running half an hour late. When she finally came to fetch me she asked me what she could do for me. I told her. She said, "I don't cut short hair. My specialty is long hair." What kind of stylist can't cut short hair? She agreed to color it and tried to book me for the following week for a trim - with another stylist. I don't want to wait another week for a trim! The color she put on my hair was so dark it's almost black and does not match the color I already had. Guess I will have to start all over again from scratch. It's so very, very upsetting and disappointing.

Just wanted to give a refreshed review as I've been going to The Ivy Mae Salon for the past 4 years…read morenow and want to update you all that it is still my go-to spot. I no longer live as close to Ventura as I did before, however I will still make the long drive to get my hair cut by my girl Angie. It's crazy to think how long we've known each other now and I will say she is probably the only person in this world I trust with my hair. Her attentiveness and attention to detail when it comes to doing my hair all these years has never faltered and I will continue to be a loyal customer. Thank you Angie!

I liked this place for the most part. Just some feedback on some improvements, offer guest WiFi…read morebecause the cell phone signal here is really bad. It's extremely slow and annoying especially if you are sitting in the chair getting your hair done for a long time. The bowl to wash your hair is not that great compared to other salons I've been to since the water slips through your back. The restroom isn't wheelchair accessible due to a couple of small steps. A foldable/portable wheelchair ramp could make the space more inclusive for people with mobility needs. This can be placed on the side on a as needed basis. Overall, I liked this place though! Staff was very nice and color was great.

Steph is amazing! I always feel like a brand new person after every appointment with her! Unlike…read moreother places I've visited, she is very efficient and appointments don't take all day to achieve what you want.

I had old color that needed correction and I was badly in need of a cut, she listened to what I wanted and suggested what she could do that would work and her confidence totally put me at ease.

All that PLUS, Shag is an independently owned salon? Five stars, for sure!
