I had a color and Brazilian blowout about 7 weeks ago. With Linda. As I read the reviews, I can agree, but all Linda's reviews are for cuts and colors. I had a color great job. BUT the brazilian blowout should last a bit 4 to 6 months. At a cost of appox 250 to 350. Not many people I know can spend 350, including color. Every 6 to 8 weeks. I can't. I had to have it redone at the same time I had my touch-up. So, in my opinion, I spent 500$ for a 250$ process on my hair. I'm not sure if it was a lack of knowledge or caring But considering that the reply to a text I sent a few days after the visit and was told some places are tougher to reach so it can behard to reach not come back let me see... I have had Brazilians for over 10 years. First time this happened, so I will go with lack of professionalism. Color cut great other process becareful read more

Linda has been doing my hair for a couple decades now, but I still look young!!! The Aveda color she does for me looks very natural and does not damage my hair. The haircuts and styling she does are always amazing. She listens to what you want, and is a trusted confidant as well. Now my sister and I both get our hair done by Linda and we would not go anywhere else. I highly recommend Linda and Mirage Hair Design! read more

Patty is the best!! I've been coming to hear for a while now and couldn't be happier about the way my hair looks. Thanks Patty read more

I chose Mirage because I love Aveda coloring. Ruthee did a nice job on my color. She did a Brazilian Blowout for me and it was great - I've been having them for about 10 years and love them. The second time I got the Brazilian Blowout I was not happy. When I told her it didn't last, she said "Oh, I used a different product" I told her I didn't like that product, but continued to go to Ruthee for color and cuts. I scheduled another Brazilian blowout and was very specific at the booking that it needed to be the Brazilian blowout, not any other product. I even confirmed that when I confirmed the appointment. Well, guess what? When I texted her, from out of state at an important event, to tell her that again it didn't 'take', she said, "Oh, I'm getting certified on the Brazialian Blowout next week". What a waste of my time and money! read more

Tammy at Mirage is an absolute sweetheart and amazing at what she does! I'm a bootcamp coach and I work in a restaurant and my nails take a beating. They always look great and they hold up to everything. She takes her time and she has the gentlest touch. Thank you Tammy!! Love my nails! read more

Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting Linda. She's ver personable. She totally understood what I wanted my hair to look like. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Lynda. read more

Another great Yelp find! I was in town for a special party and wanted to get a nice blow out for the evening. I left an email request on the website on Thursday night and received an immediate response back that I would be contacted in the morning for an appointment. I received a call in the morning for an appointment at the time I requested. I arrived early at the salon and was immediately and warmly greeted by the woman who called me the day prior. Linda J. took me to her station, discussed what I wanted for my hair, what I was wearing and what type of party I was going to. I am not super particular - I just want a nice blow out so I left everything up to Linda. Great shampoo - I forgot how much I like the feel and scent of Aveda products. Linda did a fantastic job on my hair! She didn't rush, we had a very nice chat about lots of things and I asked if she would tease the top of my hair which she did. My blow out looked GREAT! It was exactly what I had envisioned for the evening and it really, truly lasted. And I danced ALL night! I was really surprised how it lasted! If I am in the area again, I would definitely go back to this very nice salon and see Linda J. read more

Finally--someone who I can trust to cut my hair!! Jenny was recommended to me by two trusted friends, and they were right. She was professional, talented, and very thorough. I had my (very curly!) hair washed and cut expertly, followed by a gorgeous blow-out. I left the salon feeling confident and lovely. Jenny, you are a talented goddess, and I am yours for life. read more

This is my second time getting my hair done by Lexi at Mirage. She does FANTASTIC work. She took my hair from a dark auburn to a bright blonde and you know what the best part is.....no damage. Nope my hair is not fried or feel dry, nothing. It feels and looks amazing. I HIGHLY reccomend her. I asked for her business card and ill attach a pic below with my before and after read more

See all

I love Aveda products, and use them exclusively ... so after moving to Simi Valley recently, I went to the Aveda Salon here - Mirage. The first time (Oct '12) was great ... Linda cut my hair, understood exactly what I wanted and I loved it. 2nd visit - color - whoa! Marisa blew it! I'm a last minute person, so called on a Saturday morning and not surprisingly, Linda was unavailable. Hoping for an opening through some last minute cancellation, I asked the receptionist if an experienced colorist was available, otherwise, I'd schedule. She assured me Marisa could see me in an hour and was experienced. I had "virgin" hair, meaning I had not colored it in years (it's naturally NOT gray) ... it's a medium brown, and I wanted multiple caramel colors as highlights. I used their magazines to show Marisa examples ... she brought hair samples and I picked specific colors. Besides highlights, she suggested I color the whole thing. 3.5 hours later - my hair was significantly darker than it is naturally, except for white highlighted strands, which were uneven, heavy on the right side of my head, and barely visible on the left. It reminded me of a bundt cake with white frosting. It didn't look embarrassing ... it just looked too dark for my complexion, like I didn't get it done professionally. It was rainy and dark on the day, and I was exhausted and hungry after being there 3.5 hours. I figured I'd see how it looked in the sun. Slightly better, but not really. So I returned on Tuesday (with my friend to witness) to tell Marisa the color is not what I asked for. She insisted it was ... I asked her to hold the hair samples next to my hair, to show IT WASN'T ... Marisa blamed my hair, saying it must be too porous. She offered to redo it - What I wanted was a partial refund so someone else could fix the color, but I reluctantly agreed to let her add "caramel highlights" around my face. I went to the Receptionist to schedule an appointment, and she said Marisa's schedule was WIDE OPEN (alarm - doesn't have any clients). I scheduled for Saturday at 10 am. I also left a message for Linda to call me; I thought the owner should be aware of this poor service. On that Saturday morning, I pulled into the parking lot when I was 11 minutes late, and the receptionist called and said Marisa was no longer available to do my hair at all that day and to reschedule. Wow! I drove to the nearby Target to pick up some items ... upon leaving, I decided to revisit the salon to ask for a partial refund in person AGAIN instead of rescheduling. When I walked in, Marisa was sitting in her chair looking through a magazine ... no client ... the whole salon was busy except her. Because I'd worked in a salon moons ago, I realized she doesn't have a regular clientele, not even on a Saturday morning! No client, just sitting there, but unavailable to do my hair! Again I asked for a partial refund, Marisa refused. Linda never returned my call. Besides paying for Marisa to practice, their service is unacceptable. read more

Irene was very cool. I could always expect good results and attention to detail. She's very good with men's hair. Even on busy days, she never gave me the impression that she was rushing or taking short cuts. Right now, she's at the top of my list all-around (taking into account price with performance because we know there are stylists that blow your mind but cost your arm and leg). Small, nice, friendly salon that's not pretentious; tucked in between Baja and a donut shop. The parking is easy. Call in your appointments, avoid walk-ins. $25 for men's cut is a bargain when I compare with the unpredictable cuts from chains. read more

I recently started having my haircut at Mirage, by Marisa. All I can say is, if you are going to get a haircut in Simi Valley, or even in a surrounding city please do yourself a favor and see her, men, women, senior or child, she does it all and she does a great job! I know because she cuts my hair, my wive's hair, my sister in law's hair and both of my daughter's hair. She always does a great job and takes her time, instead of rushing like other stylists I've visited in the past. Cut or color, she's the one to see. I read a review by a woman named Monica and I'm pretty sure she's a nut job!! Ignore her review, and see Marisa, you'll be glad you did. read more

Great little find in Simi ! Love aveda products so I decided to give it a try. Jennifer is so great! She really takes time with you and really cares about how you feel. Her shampoos are the best!! Give her a try... She won't disappoint! read more

I called during business hours and left a message. Two days later and still no return call. This has happened more than once. I guess they don't need my business and it's time to find a new salon.. read more

Went to this establishment not too long ago to get Aveda facial cleanser. I cant seem to steer clear of Michelle(receptionist). She is helpful, but defensive and super strange. After purchasing the facial cleanser, I got home and realized it wasn't the one that I normally get. I called the shop and got Michelle. She always seems cheerful at first, but when I ask to speak to the manager Linda, she becomes hostile with me, and wanted to know what the problem was. When I explained the problem, she told me to just bring it back, and she would give me the other one. When I came back in.........Immediately, she says to me " here, just take this one, and give me the one you have. She was rude, pushy and being a Bitch. After we swapped the products, she tells me "have a good day" with a scowl on her face. Right then and there, I asked to speak with the manager. She reacts again, very hostile and nasty "what do you want?!" I told her that I wanted to discuss the Aveda cleanser line that they carry. Again, very hostile response........"everything we have is right there!" She then says to me "Sir, we are a happy family run business, and don't want any problems, if you don't like the way we do things.....leave!! In fact.....please leave now.......you are disrupting our business and making everyone uncomfortable!". At Michelle's request, I did leave, and haven't been back since. At the time, I wanted to tell Linda how much I was enjoying the Aveda products......and ask if they were available online. Michelle ruined this interaction that I could have had with Linda. Michelle feels the need to be ugly and protect the salon. She is really scaring away sales. She should not work here. The BITCH needs to go!!! read more

I love my haircut and color done by Linda....I have problems with thinning hair, and she layered it in a way that my hair actually looks fuller. I highly recommend the Mirage salon. read more

I haven't gotten my hair done here, but I go to Tammy for my nails. She is just wonderful! She has flexible hours and is willing to work with your schedule, either opening early or staying late if needed, to accommodate her clients. She's warm and friendly, and she does a great job with manicures, pedicures, acrylics, and waxing. HIGHLY recommended! read more

Linda and her team always give me a great cut and gorgeous Aveda color. I love this place!!!

Lexi is awesome ..saw my mess of hair and knew my frustrations everyone in the salon very nice and I love the Aveda products I also felt like I was having aromatherapy the whole time I was there will definitely be coming back to my Dr Lexi as she continues to ALWAYS make my hair look its best...so lucky i found this place read more

I asked to have my long hair cut layered. Instead she cut it straight , and couldn't even blow dry it to style it well. Will not be returning. read more

I have been getting my hair cut here for years. If you are looking for a men's hair cut, Patty is the person. You will not be disappointed.

I recently received the best haircut and partial highlight of my life from Linda. The cut was exactly what I wanted--including the length (this NEVER happens for me) and layers--and the highlights have grown out beautifully without the trashy line between the dark brown and blonde. The prices are beyond reasonable for what you get. Until my awesome haircut I had really, really long hair that would cost double the starting price for a partial highlight. But not at Mirage!!! Seriously, even with long hair it was only $75. And it looked more natural than the $130+ highlights I was getting in San Diego. I sent my husband to Linda for a haircut as well (and he is super picky about his hair) and he always comes back very happy with his haircut. One day he decided he didn't want to take the 15 minute drive and went to a local barbershop and they butchered his hair. So he ended up driving to Linda 30 minutes later to have his hair fixed and she did an amazing job. He learned his lesson. Go to Linda. read more

Been at this salon before...people are nice...but their service (which what we really go there for), is less than sub-par. For example, today I swung by the salon to pick up some product, I only got one Aveeda, because I did not have all the information for the 2nd product. So, I went across the street to do grocery shopping...maybe 35 mins, top. I went back to the salon because this time I had the name of the product...now its around 4:05pm. The girl who "helped" me the first time around clearly sees me looking for the product and tells me that their register is now closed. I wasn't sure I understood her, when: I said, "I was just here a half hour ago" Blondie: "its after 4pm and we close the register" I said: "what? I just want to get this one product" Blondie: "we don't sell any products after 4pm" I said: "and this is a successful business?" Blondie: "what?" I said: "exactly!" Their business is open until 6pm on Tuesdays...yet they close their register at 4pm!! There are no signs near the register or anywhere else in the salon...a complete waste of time...and who doesn't sell a product when the person is right there...especially since I had been there just a half hour before?! No, I do not recommend this salon...service is sub-par and they can't see the value of a sale when its begging...must be nice to be independently wealthy. read more

Jia is the best. She's experienced, skilled and fast. I tend to feel uncomfortable in salons because I am not a girly girl, but I feel very relaxed here because Jia is so down to earth. In addition to my regular haircuts, Jia did my hair for my wedding and pulled off a miracle. She got my hair to defy its natural tendencies for the entire evening. I felt beautiful and got tons of compliments. Her prices are reasonable, too. read more

I also recommend this salon for Aveda products and if you need an expert hair cut, please see Jia. I moved to California three years ago, and I finally found a great hairstylist. read more
