Brianna is absolutely amazing and has a true talent and gift at her craft of making you and your hair, look like the best version of yourself! I came to Brianna with short bob length hair that I had hacked into myself, leaving everything uneven and looking so bad, that all I felt comfortable doing, was wearing it in a short ponytail to hide what I had done to it. I didn't want to go any shorter but was really wanting to add some length to my hair to make me feel more comforable in the growing out process, which I knew would be a good 6-12 months. So I was on the hunt for someone who was really good at putting in hair extentions, and who could create a longer hairstyle that looked super natural. Not only did the extentions need to be installed well, but then the color and cut had to be done to make it all cohesive and natural. Well...Brianna friggin Nailed it! I was doubtful that I would walk out liking it, but I was feeling so hopeless about my hair situration, that I figured I'd at least try this option and if I hated it, then I could always take it out and put it back in the ponytail. All I can say is I'm so glad I found Brianna and decided to trust her. She has helped me feel more like myself again and get my confidence back. I'm excited to not only continue to work with her while I have the extentions in, but work with her on my color and cut after. She is worth every penny! read more

I called two days ago to make an appointment to get my hair highlighted/lowlighted and a cut with no return call from anyone from the salon.

Terribly over priced which would be more acceptable if they knew how to do hair but they are terrible at their job and ruin your hair or dont do what you wanted to do to your own hair then they charge you 5x the price a normal salon. DO NOT GO HERE there are such better places to go that are actually professional and don't charge you thousands for terrible work. If I could leave 0 stars I would. They scam you for your money and ruin your hair. read more

Eva did my cut and color a few days ago and to say I'm blown away would be an understatement. This was the best experience I've ever had. She listened to all of my goals and explained everything she'd be doing! The salon is beautiful, she was so professional, and my hair turned out better than my expectations. I was slightly nervous going from blonde to brown but Eva made the experience easy and enjoyable. Everything from the color, to cut to styling was perfect!! read more

This is the best hair salon that you can go to anywhere. I don't trust my hair to anyone else anymore. SB Salon gets it right every time. I always come for blonde highlights, and they always look so beautiful and natural. When I've gone other places, they've turned out brassy. This salon is so beautiful and you feel pampered from the minute you walk in the door. Then you walk out of the door looking like 1 million bucks. Prepare yourself for the compliments! read more

I have always in had wonderful service from Brianna and her staff. They put up with me as I don't come in consistently.i have had the same stylist for over ten years. My stylist isn't always available therefore I really appreciate Brianna and her staff getting me in and welcoming me with open arms. They are all well trained and very knowledgeable and sweet. read more

I've been getting blonde highlights with Eva for about a year now, and she nails it every time! She has such a talent for creating a soft, natural look and blending everything flawlessly. Eva is incredibly sweet, makes me feel totally comfortable, and really listens to what I want. I always leave the salon feeling beautiful and refreshed. Plus, the little touches--like being offered a drink or snack--make the whole experience even better. I can't recommend Eva and this salon enough! read more

In a word, EXCELLENT! I made an appointment with Mollys d arrived a few minutes early. First, the space is amazing and so chill and relaxing. They offered water an a Spritz - so great and refreshing. Molly is a truly wonderful professional. She asks questions and discusses your ideas for your hair - cut, color, style, etc. She was really amazing - she did everything right and my hair looks truly the best it has looked in years! Molly is very thoughtful and has the best vibe! Highly recommend Molly and the SB Salon! Try it if you haven't. It's totally worth it! read more

One of the best experiences at a salon that I've had. They were really thoughtful and made sure I was happy and comfortable with the length of bangs and layers at various steps in the process. They successfully kept my hair very long as I wanted! They made me a nice cup of coffee and were friendly throughout. AWESOME service and AWESOME final product. read more

I have been a client here for a few years and I just love it. Brianna always does a fantastic job and I walk out feeling beautiful. The salon is clean, bright and full of friendly people. Im so happy that Brianna was able to expand the salon and grow her business. I am a brunette and have referred my blonde friends to her and they are equally happy with their results. If you are looking for someone who knows what she is doing and will listen to what you want, I highly suggest you make an appointment and support this female-owned business. read more

I'm new to the area so I did a little online research and found SB Salon. I had a haircut with Brianna and she did a fantastic job! I loved the vibe in the salon, everyone was very friendly and full of youthful energy. I've had issues over the past few years with my hair aging and growing much more slowly and she gave me some great recs on how to keep it heathy. I'm also very particular with my cuts (my hair is fine and blonde so it's not very forgiving if I get a bad cut) and she honestly did a fantastic job right off the bat. Will def go back! Thank you :) read more

In the many years I've had Yelp, I've never left a review. However, I'm so happy with the service I received here that I decided it was time! I had long, dark black and was desperate to get an ombré. I had gone to local salons and come out dissatisfied. A few months ago, I ended up trying SB Salon and got paired with Reese! She was realistic that I may not be able to get to my ideal hairstyle in one session, but after five hours, I absolutely loved how it looked. I wish I had known about this salon from the beginning. Today I came back to get it touched up and I have to say I am more than thrilled with the final product! Thank you to Reese for amazing customer service. Can't get over how much I love my hair now!!!!! read more

I just moved to the area from Fort Lauderdale. I absolutely loved meeting and getting my hair done by Reese. She has amazing energy, she intuitively knows how to make hair look incredible no matter what the client asked for. I walked into the salon with no confidence in my hair or the way it looks. I walked out ready for the runway. I've never felt more beautiful and confident with my hair. She has an amazing aura and you will guaranteed walk out with your dream hair. She is a gem. The salon itself is so clean and filled with natural light. It smells fresh and like the best shampoos. I overall enjoyed my experience and rate it a 10/10. I will be a loyal client at sb salon as long as I live in Santa Barbara. read more

I cannot recommend this salon enough. I got blonde highlights from Molly and she crushed it. I mean, seriously the best color I've ever gotten. All the stylists were so sweet and welcoming, with coffee, fun drinks and snacks I wanted to stay and hang out all day. 10/10 service and quality, worth the price to have it done right! read more

Love this place! I came here for the first time on Saturday and was very pleased with how my hair turned out. Reese was very attentive to what I wanted and did a beautiful job on my color and haircut. Thanks SB Salon! :) read more

I was at a loss for what to do with my postpartum hair growth but Hannah came to my rescue. As a new client she put me at ease, was so easy to talk to, and I left the salon with restored self esteem. read more

I had been putting off getting my hair cut after I moved to the Santa Barbara area because when I've moved around in the past, I've had some not so great experiences finding new hair stylists. I shouldn't have worried though because when I finally booked an appointment here with Sierra, I got one of my best haircuts ever! She listened to what I wanted and made my hair look great! I will definitely be coming back. read more

This salon was so cute, and I really enjoyed my stylist - Hannah! I booked a blowout, and Hannah gave me the curls I wanted. She was very sweet yet efficient! read more

I visited for the first time and I love this neighborhood salon. It does everything right. The website has an online booking capability which is really great for when you're trying to book something last minute online when it's after business hours. Love that. Also - kudos on the class factor. I like being offered a beverage such as tea or water when I arrive and they go above and beyond to settle you in - you're going to be there for a few hours so that is truly helpful. My service was great - I'm a brunette so it's pretty easy to get my brown going in the right direction - but they did a great job and Sierra and her assistant Molly were really lovely to work with. But when you're at a salon at the end of the day you're spending a good amount of time chatting with the folks there and I really enjoyed the staff. Everybody was really professional and friendly and I truly enjoyed my time while they sorted out my color. Do not hesitate to give this salon a try; the owner clear takes a lot of care in choosing great folks and setting a great environment. read more

I found Studio B on Yelp when looking for someone to color correct my hair. I am brunette and had a poor highlight job and was in dire need of color correction. Sierra is literally a magician - my hair is absolutely gorgeous now with the most perfect highlights that are exactly what I wanted! Could not be happier. Extremely professional, clean, and lovely salon- would highly recommend Sierra and Studio B! read more

I booked an appointment with Molly for a blowout and style for my daughter's wedding. It was just perfect in every way! Molly was patient with me and my hair look fabulous when I left and stayed perfect all night long! Thank you Molly!! read more

6 months since I had my hair dyed by Sierra Lippert and i still LOVE the color. When I came to Sierra I was desperate for a color correction. I used a red box dye in my hair during covid and damaged it so bad I thought it would take a year before my hair was soft again. Sierra scheduled me an appointment last minute 3 days before my birthday. She listened to everything I wanted and got the end result down to a T. I told her I prefer my hair a bit on the darker side. And I told her I would prefer I don't have to routinely dye it. 6 months later and I still LOVEE the color. I walked out after the color session with hair that felt softer and healthier than before I dyed it. And then not to mention Sierra is the sweetest hairstylist I ever had. She was so kind. Completely worth the rates they charge. read more

I moved to Santa Barbara a little over a year ago. I typically drive back to SD to see my stylist that's been doing my hair forever. But I realized I needed to find a salon closer to home. So I did some research and went to Tenaya at Studio B. My goal is to go from dark to light and still keep my hair on my head. So going into my first visit I honestly wasn't expecting too much. With that being said, I'm beyond pleased and pleasantly surprised. Very professional and personable. Fast yet efficient and she got my hair lighter then I actually expected. She did an amazing job. I highly recommend Tenaya if you're looking for a stylist. The salon itself is nicely done and follows all COVID rules and regulations. read more

Ingrid is amazing! We are new to the area and I was so happy when I met Ingrid for my first appointment. I was sort of overwhelmed from the move and she was so sweet and fun and recommended places to check outbased on what I told her I liked. She listened to what I wanted for my hair and made it exactly as I'd hoped and even better! read more

I rarely cut my hair because I have a hard time finding a stylist that does a consistently good job. However, I struck gold at SB salon with Hannah Platt. She is THE best. She took such awesome care of my hair, fixed the lopsided layers that were done by a different stylist (not from SB salon), and educated me on how to maintain healthy hair. I super appreciate the time she spent cutting and styling my hair. I recommend anyone in SB or adjacent areas to book with Hannah. read more

This was by far my BEST experience with a hair salon (or as I call it a haven) in Santa Barbara. To give some background, I came in distraught & frantic from 2 negative Ulta hair salon appointments. I won't go into it other than to say, I came in with blue/grayish roots & a COMPLETE color correction disaster. I was so upset to ring in my birthday weekend with this mess but I started calling up salons, even though I had very low expectations that I would be able to fix it on the day of my birthday coming from NorCal to Santa Barbara. Studio B answered my inquiry (and my prayers) very quickly, worked around my already jam packed schedule of appointments. I came in for a quick consult before running to my next appointment & they made me feel understood & SANE from all the doubt the previous salon manager had left me with my confusing hair color. The ladies at the salon were so comforting, so helpful. Shoutout to the wonderful lady who got me a charger & champagne to celebrate my 22nd, shoutout to the gorgeous salon owner who patiently listened to me/made me feel welcome... and MOST IMPORTANTLY CAITLIN, a goddess of a hairstylist. You listened to my concerns, gave me a very fair price point as a freshly graduate college kid, completely saved my hair in the span of less than 2 hours. I know I'm ranting but truly this appointment seemed to be fate showing me & restoring my faith in true artistry in the Santa Barbara hair business. Thank you guys so much I'M SO THANKFUL I will always be coming here every time I visit *cue tears of gratitude & joy* read more
