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!

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 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 love this place so much, I drive 40 minutes from Moorpark regularly to get my hair and nails…read moredone. Kia is a Vivid Hair Specialist who has transformed my hair from its natural brown to teal, then pink with extensions, and now purple with a silver money piece! She's super sweet, and she's always been very realistic with me about what kind of maintenance certain colors or cuts need. (Despite how it may seem, I like low maintenance even though I still want fun colors.) For the time and service she provides, her rates are very reasonable. I've looked forward to every visit with her, and I feel like my self-confidence has grown not just because of my beautiful hair but also because of her positive and empowering outlook! Ariel is an amazing nail artist! I was never one to get my nails done regularly (low maintenance, like I wrote), but when I was getting my hair done, I'd see Kia's nails (always done by Ariel), and they were literally fantastic. So I gave it a whirl and got some fancy nails for a business trip. And then I asked for some fun nails for a wedding. The more I visited the salon, the more I enjoyed the ladies that worked there and the energy that I felt, and the more I wanted to come back. Now I come every 4 weeks for Ariel to do my nails. Each time I come with an idea or inspiration from Instagram, and Ariel makes magic. She's a true artist! I've never had her repeat a design in the nearly 2 years I've been going, and she's never once told me she wasn't capable of doing something I asked for. Even when I've arrived late (more often than I care to admit), she's been wonderfully kind and patient with me. Between these two wonderful ladies, I feel more beautiful and feminine than ever. I truly feel like they're my friends, and I'm so grateful to have found them and that I get to benefit from their expertise.

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.

I moved to California a little over a year ago, and finding a new stylist was intimidating. Even…read moreback home, I struggled to find someone I could really trust. I'd gone to "premium" salons, chasing consistency, and still got hit with hidden bowl fees, plus stylists who somehow never kept my color in stock, even when I booked months ahead. I get fantasy color and have been trying to grow my hair out, which never went well either, since every stylist insisted on cutting off way more than I wanted. When I moved to Ventura, I reached out to several stylists, and most either never responded or took over a week to get back to me. Daisy was the only one who was prompt, so I booked with her, and I'm so glad I did! She's one of the most professional and talented stylists I've ever worked with. My hair has grown out about six inches while she's carefully maintained my ends, and even with root bleach and fantasy color layered on top, it's never felt healthier. She's also incredible with cuts. My natural waves have never laid this well. On top of the skill, Daisy is warm, genuine, and just a joy to be around! The Color Bar has great energy overall, without the weird drama you sometimes get at other salons, and Daisy is a real standout there. I can't recommend her enough. I love her. ~Bobbi

It didn't feel intimidating at all. Trying something new with your hair can be nerve-wracking, but Trista made it exciting instead. I'm so happy with how it turned out, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a perm!
