My daughter wanted to cut her waist length hair, up to her shoulders. I knew that I needed to bring her to Madera Salon as I remember how professional and welcoming Rachel was. In this case, Minerva is the stylist that cut my daughter's hair. My daughter LOVES her hair!!! We are grateful and so happy with how her hair turned out. Thank you Minerva and Madera Salon! read more

I can't rave enough about Rachel's talent. I've been going to salons for over twenty years, and have had 8 stylists work on my hair. After my first visit with her, Rachel's skills quickly soared her to the top of the list. She's the most consistent stylist I've ever seen, and she makes her diligent work look easy. I get a blonde weave, and she painstakingly finds the strands she bleached last time and re-touches them - something no other stylist will do, let me tell you. This way, I will never get "too blonde", which is the main risk of getting weaves all the time. Also, I told her the number of my ash-blonde toner (from a previous stylist) and she uses it every time - but something in the way she does it makes it last an extremely long time. I always thought my hair was doomed to turn brassy, but now it remains perfectly ashy for 6 weeks. I only have to use purple shampoo a couple of times on weeks 7-8 before I return for a touchup. Rachel will give you exactly what you ask for, and she will never argue with you. I've had stylists who have plum refused to give me what I wanted; one even said, "I don't think that's your journey." If you bring in a photo, Rachel will match it and have you leaving her salon looking beautiful and feeling confident. I'm so glad that my previous stylist went on a permanent maternity leave, so I could continue my "journey" and find Rachel. My hair has found a home. This is completely un-related, but she does have an entertainment center built into her salon. At the front, there's a large television with movies streaming all day long, so you won't be ever bored. (And if you're lucky, you might even get to request one. Rachel and I once sang along to a fun Beach Boys documentary.) read more

For years I have gone to a salon in Westlake and always felt like I was kind of the one that didn't fit in. These were all rich women (including my stylist) who talked about their Westlake lives and never really acknowledged me when I walked in - or included me in conversations. While it wasn't a dealbreaker, I always felt like I wasn't someone they cared about as a client. Today, I went to Madera's Beauty Salon and was stunned at how differently I was treated by Rachel and her son, Pete. I felt like part of their family. I went in for a Brazilian Blowout (with Pete) and from the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I was just part of the group. The conversation was funny, lively, educational, and just plain interesting. I loved every second of it. I think I'll try them out for a cut and color next because if they are as talented as they were with the Brazilian, I have found a new place - one that makes me feel valued and one that does impeccable work! Shout out to Rachel and Pete for teaching me about the free kick rule in the NFL! You all are just the best! read more

My daughter and I are SO relieved that Rachel was able to fix my daughter's botched haircut! Rachel's approach made the best of what was left, and my daughter's hair actually looks super cute now. Thank you for fitting us in so quickly when I called in a panic - AND for charging a reasonable price. Rachel, you're the BEST! read more

Super friendly salon. I was visiting my in-laws for a birthday party, and the owner was willing to take me in early for a haircolor (roots). It's possibly one of the nicest groups of people (family owned business, I think) that I've ever met. Price was not bad too. If you live in the area - give this place your business. The kindness of the owner and staff is worth it. read more

Pete cut my hair and it is one of the better cuts I have had! Will continue as a loyal customer read more

Rachel did a fabulous job cutting my hair and adding blond highlights to blend in my gray and brunette roots. Not only is she, as well as her son, wonderful to chat with she truly listened to what I wanted , educated me about choices and outcomes , and styled my hair with products that left my hair feeling healthier than it's ever been. Thanks to this friendly, charming salon that made me feel confident and welcomed. I'm definitely returning to this family owned gem. I left so grateful for the fair pricing and high quality service . read more

Rachael is always amazing! She loves what she does and it's a family friendly environment! She eliminated the frizz with a Keratin Therapy treatment without loosing all the natural curl; I can finally manage my baby fine curly hair and make it behave. It feels soft and healthy even after 4 months. It doesn't trash your hair like the Japanese hair straightening treatments. read more

I came in for a wash and blow dry. It was the worst experience of my life. The girl that started with me did not know what she was doing the owner took over and she was OK but it took an hour and 30 minutes to wash and blow dry my hair. I would not recommend this place. The shop was nice but the beauticians are awful. I wasted $35. read more

Needed to find a new stylist since mine had moved. Found Rachel on Yelp and since it was close to home and the reviews she had were good thought I would make an appt for my mom and myself. Couldn't be more happy with my choice. Not only did I get a great cut my mom was thrilled. First time she ever said she wanted to go in just for wash and blow dry in between cuts. Thank you Rachel for the great cuts and making my mom feel good. We have found a new stylist! read more

I have gone to so many salons and top notch recommended ones and not any could get what I was asking for and actually damaged my hair for a lot of money.

I have never been happier with my hair the color is amazing that no other hairstylist could get me. Rachel is absolutley amazing and really knows her stuff! I will never waste my money on any other one.. and the salon is so cute and really enjoyed my few hours there! Her girls are great and her son is hilarious. read more

Just dropped in yesterday for the first time and got the best hair cut I have ever had in Simi Valley! Rachel is very professional, attentive and exacting. She cut my hair exactly as I requested. I am a 69 year old male. I will be back for sure and probably get more hair cuts than I usually do as the experience and efficient time exceeded expectations. She has great senior pricing too. Thanks Rachel. read more

I dread getting my hair cut because I don't like big, noisy salons or awkward small talk with stylists. And haircuts can be really expensive, too. But visiting Rachel's small, quiet salon and chatting with her was a pleasant and relaxing experience. and her price was great. Scheduling my appointment was super easy. Rachel got back to me very quickly when I requested an appointment through Yelp and was able to book me at the date and time I requested. I didn't have any haircut pictures to show her, but she quickly found a good one for my hair type. I love the cut she gave me! She also taught me how to curl my hair and had me walking out of the salon feeling glamorous. I am happy to see this new, small, family-owned business in Simi Valley and I highly recommend Rachel! read more

I live in Simi Valley near the Ronald Reagan Library. I shop at Albertson's on Madera. I saw the new shop and a friend said she got her haircut there and colored and was very happy. I was going all the way to Woodland Hills to get my haircut. So the last time I got my haircut in Woodland Hills; I stopped by on the way home and showed Rachel my style. She said no problem I can do that the next time you need a haircut. I called this morning and she said to come in at 2:30PM. I was a little late but she still cut my hair. Amazing! She cut my hair in about 15 minutes. It was perfect. It is a short haircut and it looks fantastic! I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a haircut at a more than fair price. Thank you Rachel! read more

I'm so incredibly happy with my hair! She also gave me a wonderful cut which was also exactly what I wanted. This salon is so cute with a little rustic vibe to it. I highly recommended Rachel!! read more
