    Full balayage
    Skyler L.

    Let me just start off by saying, not only is Emily Thomas the sweetest person you will ever talk to, but she is also a HAIR MAGICIAN. I know this is cliche but if I could give her 10 stars out of 5 l would. Emily has taken me through 3 hair transformations and she has nailed every single one... haircut, highlights, and a hand painted balayage. If you are in Santa Barbara or the Goleta area please choose Emily to be your stylist, you will not regret it!

I've had bad experiences getting my hair dyed at other salons in SB so I was definitely nervous. In this appointment I got Vera, who was very kind. I showed her some pictures of what I wanted and I like how she showed me color swatches of hair so that I could see what I was working with. Vera did exactly what I asked for, my hair was blonder than I had expected and she was really sweet and could tell that I was a little uncomfortable with it, so she reminded me that if I wanted to fix something that it was okay. I really appreciated how she just made me feel okay with wanting to fix something and in power of my own hair, so we toned it once more. She even offered letting me come in another time to tone it again if it was still too bright for me, which I did end up doing. So a couple days after I called the day of and they were able to squeeze me in to darkened the highlights. Now I love my hair! Really appreciate how Vera took the time and the generosity to help me get the hair that I wanted(:

    I really hate writing negative reviews on any kind of service industry job, but wow... I got home…read moreand my roommates kept asking "so you really PAID for that haircut???". I don't know if maybe I did a bad job at communicating, but we talked about cutting about 2 inches, some layering, but no layering at the ends, and she cut off around 6 inches, and gave me the most horrendously blunt and uneven layers I have ever seen. The "face framing pieces" don't even reach mid ear level now that my hair is dry (I have curly hair, and she soaked it before cutting), and I'm just going to hack at my hair with scissors today to try and fix it (I don't think it can get any worse...). The whole experience--walking in, talking to a stylist, getting it cut, and paying--took less than 10 minutes, so I guess I should have expected these results. If you need your hair cut straight across, at one clearly defined level, and bring a measuring tape with you, then this might be a great option! Otherwise, I'd stay far, far away.

    If i could it would be a 0. When i walked in nobody wanted to cut my hair, looked at each other as…read moreif they were mad I made an appointment. The sign at the door about closing should have been my first sign. I asked for long layers, an inch off, and face framing. The girl was short blonde with bangs. She told me she couldn't do layers bc it would be choppy even though i've gotten layers my whole life. we went back and forth and i gave up so i said that's fine just do the face framing and cut an inch. made no sense to me. she gave me so much attitude, i know i should have left i was just anxious. the other workers got a phone call and they complained and wanted to hangup so they didn't have to accept the appointment bc they wanted to close early. it took her 3 minutes to cut the inch off. she cut off so much during the face framing, not to mention its uneven on both sides. terrified to even show pictures. took her 8 minutes. if you can't cut hair then don't be a stylist! making an appointment elsewhere to fix the damages
