Got my hair done here at the start of the month. I loved it then and I still love it now. I had a stylist for around five years that i went to religiously and i have to say that the location and the overall service was enough to make me a new follower. At fifty, I've grown intimately familiar with salons -- some glamorous, some forgettable, and some that make you wonder if you should have simply stayed home with a silk scarf and a prayer. Silhouettes by the Beach Salon, however, is in an entirely different category. The moment I stepped through the door, I had the uncanny sensation of being welcomed, not just scheduled. And for a woman of my age, who has attended more charity luncheons and cotillion rehearsals than I care to count, genuine hospitality is something I notice instantly. read more

ZERO stars based solely on the dishonest and unprofessionalism of Taylor aka "Bobbypins blush and blowouts." We booked Taylor and her wedding "team" over 9 months ago. After several attempts and failed communication, my fiancé and I finally got confirmation for a trial appointment. Not only did I have to arrange to take the day off of work, we were going to drive 2+ hours to get our trial hair and makeup done for our big wedding day. The night before we had not heard a single thing from Taylor. No address. No confirmation. Nothing. So, not wanting to drive 2 hours with gas prices and cost of goods being what they are, we reached out AGAIN only for her to not answer. An hour goes by and we are literally getting in the car to leave and Taylor texts us telling us that she's getting over a cold and needs to reschedule. Not cool. This isn't even the worst part. In this day and age and with Covid and all, people get sick. We get it. The absolute worst part was that she was posting all over Instagram, literally minutes later, how she was at church with her kids. Then at the beach with friends. And so on. Talk about UNPROFESSIONAL! So not only do you cancel as your clients are leaving to drive 2 hours to see you but you then lie about it. Not cool. We decided that it was best to not move forward with Taylor and her services for our wedding. We requested that our deposit be returned, since it was 4 months ago now, and she agreed. She then lied not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES about returning our deposit. We asked for a confirmation because she kept saying "I sent the payment" and she literally ghosted us. So, a bad review is not only due but earned. Taylor, shame on you. Do yourselves a favor and STAY AWAY. Not worth your time, money or effort. read more

I found this salon through Groupon, for a deal on a Brazilian Blowout, and now I'm hooked. What a wonderful experience! This salon is top-notch. Located right on the marina, this salon is brimming with beachy breeze (which is a big plus if you're getting any kind of coloring or chemical treatment!) and natural light. I also appreciated the relaxed, happy atmosphere. Kelly did my hair, and she was so kind, the two-hour Brazilian Blowout treatment went by in a flash. This salon really cares about your hair! Kelly took the time to make sure my bleach-ravaged mane was as smooth and strong as it could possibly be. She is truly an expert with years of experience. I've been to other salons for keratin treatments and Brazilians, but I can honestly say my hair has never been prettier and healthier than it is right now, a day after my appointment. A few notes: 1. My appointment was booked a week-and-a-half out. 2. Brazilian Blowouts aren't straightening treatments--they're strengthening treatments. 3. Like most salons, there may be a small additional charge for length. So grateful for Kelly! Can't wait to return! read more

My hair dresser Kelly has been cutting my hair for about 4 years now and this time was the last straw . I have naturally strawberry blonde hair and wanted some copper highlights and a little red but when she was done with me my hair was like a red Hot Cheeto . I looked like bozo the clown. Manic panic !! This was the first time I have ever highlighted my hair and this experience was horrible. Then she tried to color correct it and added brown to the front. That was it for the night. I came back the next day to have her try to fix my hair and she bleached it and she added brown and she had it darker brown. It was so splotchy at the end I could've went to the store and did it myself. I was supposed to go back in Friday and have her do some copper highlights and all my friends told me don't go back so I went back and got my money back and I had to go somewhere else and have it color corrected and spent triple the amount..She lost three customers as me and my children go see her never again. And the attitude she gave me when she gave me my money back after She saw how good my hair looked after going somewhere else. She didn't even recognize me. Sorry Kelly read more

I decided to go here after reading the other reviews on Yelp and it was not a let down. Today was the first time I have been to this salon and the first time I have cut my hair in over a year. Needless to say I was nervous and skeptical. I decided to book an appointment with Laura. I called and left a message for her on a Wednesday, hoping to get an appointment for Saturdays. Laura returned my call the next day and was available on Saturday. When I walked in I was greeted right away and offered a drink. The salon looked and had a clean feel. She was running a little late but I didn't mind because she texted me and gave me a heads up. I really appreciated her letting me know what was going on opposed to me just sitting there with no clue. Not to mention the beautiful location and salon made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Laura was super nice and skilled. She listened to what I was looking for, asked about my daily maintenance and what kind of up keep I was comfortable with. I was super nervous the first thirty seconds then Laura made me feel like I had been going to her forever. We chatted the whole time but it didn't feel forced. No awkward or fake vibes! She explained what she was doing every step and why, which made me feel confident in her. At the end she even told me different ways to style it, which I thought was above and beyond. The whole experience was wonderful. I walked out feeling refreshed, happy and confident. I recommend this salon and will be going back! I have defiantly found my new hairstylist. read more

Found my new stylist! Seriously my hair felt so dry and I haven't really don't anything to my hair in months. Laura definitely transformed it without cutting a lot off. She gave me the texture I needed in my super thick hair. Feels a lot softer and carrying less weight on my head. She knows what she's doing. read more

Found Kelly through her Groupon online and my experience with her was wonderful. She does a wonderful job cutting my hair and she is very sweet and easy to talk to. read more

I am so frustrated and upset. I've recently moved to Oxnard and was in search for a new hair stylist. I stumbled on Silhouettes when I saw that they had a deal on groupon. I checked yelp and saw all the great reviews and wanted to give them a try. I was super excited to get my hair cut since its been almost a year since my last one. I bought the deal which by the way didn't say that I had to get my hair cut by a specific person, I read it multiple times t make sure so when I called to make the appointment I knew who to ask for. The first TWO times I called it went to voicemail, mind you I called during business hours on a Friday. I finally got through and talked to Kelly on my THIRD try, I mentioned the groupon deal and that I wanted to schedule with Laura since she had so many great reviews on yelp. Kelly told me that there are only two people participating in the groupon deal but she would pass the message along to Laura and have her give me a call, she took down my information and promised to pass along the note. A couple of hours later I called back (FORTH CALL) since I hadn't heard from anyone, I talked to another girl and she told me she will also pass the message along to Laura. The next thing I know I looked at the clock and its also closing time, I figured I'd give it one for try and see if I can schedule an appointment for the next day (FIFTH CALL)... no one answered the phone. I called the following day around 11am (SIXTH CALL), I talked to another girl and asked her who is participating in the groupon deal, she said Annie the owner was, I asked to talk to her so I could schedule an appointment. She said Annie was with a client and once again took my information down so that she could call me back. I waited another 2 hours and called back (SEVENTH CALL). I talked to Kelly again, she said that Annie is with a customer and Laura just left. She also said that Annie had texted Laura and asked her to call me an hour ago so I should get a call back any minute now. That was 5 hours ago, I'm going to assume I'm not getting a call back since they close at 6pm. When I was on the phone no body ever mentioned that they accept walk ins, if I would've known I would've just showed up and waited. But instead I waited by the phone for a phone call that never came. I expected more from a salon that had 5/5 star ratings. Instead I got bad customer service. Yes I bought my deal from groupon but I was looking for a good stylist to stay with for the long run. At this point I wouldn't go there, if I can't even get a call back what guarantees do I have of actually getting a hair cut. So at this point I cancelled my groupon deal and am continuing my search for a hair stylist. Thanks for ruining my Saturday Silhouettes by the Beach. Word of advice, if you say you're going to call a client back, you should do just that. I'm actually a really understanding person, I understand you get busy and forget and I was willing to let it go but by the 7th call enough is enough. read more

I had an awesome experience this last weekend with Annie! Scheduling: I saw her Groupon deal for a Brazilian blowout. I had called two weeks or so prior to make an appointment. I know generally hairstylists can be booked for weeks so I wanted to make sure. I didn't receive a response but left a message with my info and was called back in the next day or so and booked an appointment. I love that this salon is open Saturdays! I work 8-5 and live in Goleta/SB so weekends are the ideal time for me. My hair story: For you curly girls out there, I have 3A/3B curls that frizz up like crazy unless I put massive amounts of mousse and leave in. I don't use sulfates or silicone products anymore and that has helped but I still get frizz living on the coast. I like wearing my hair natural but love an occasional blow dry or straight look. I have gotten 2 Brazilians and 2 keratin express treatments in the past 4 years. I love that the keratin smooths your hair but doesn't kill your curls. Pricing: Silhouettes has a fair price for the treatment comparable to my experiences in Orange County. I payed more for my keratin express treatment in Santa Barbara and it lasts for way less time! Heck no I'm not doing that again. Ask about the groupon deal! Experience and Outcome: Hair came out super smooth and soft as expected! Blow drying time is cut to less than half of what it used to. I just washed my hair today and I'm loving my softer curls. Annie was super friendly and sweet. I have crazy hair and it can be quite difficult to work with, but she was a champ. I'm excited to see how this treatment turns out these next few months! read more

I had a great experience at Silhouettes Salon. I called to make an appointment and they were able to fit me in same day. I love their location (Ventura harbor), it was nice to be able to head to towards the water and relax a little while I got my hair done. Rebecca was my stylist and she made me feel totally comfortable and not rushed at all. I was worried that since my appointment was towards the end of the day I wouldn't get the time and attention that was needed but I was very wrong. After I was shampooed and conditioned Rebecca cut and styled my curly hair. While she was styling it she suggested she straighten it so she could do a dry cut on it just to make sure it was right. I was happy with the end result and very happy with the customer service. PS - They have very reasonable prices too! read more

I was recommended to Silhouettes by a colleague who has always said good things about the salon. Due to prior traumatizing situations at hair salons, I had neglected doing anything with my hair for over 4 years. I finally worked up the courage to come in and I'm so happy I did! Laura was excellent! I really felt like she listened to what I wanted and she delivered!!! I have long hair and was scared of losing length but she did a FANTASTIC job of keeping my length and making my hair look and feel so much healthier. The salon itself is super cute, very clean and the owner is very nice too. I will definitely be back to see Laura again. I'm hooked! read more

I am a client of Laura at Silhouette Hair Salon and I return to her for many reasons I see positive. Laura has a great ear for understanding what you want and a speedy mind for recommending great alternative styles to benefit your lifestyle and comfort into a new transition of hair. Like many, I am booked throughout my days more so than not which means I have little time for daily upkeep and uncertainty as to when I am available to return for maintenance. Ironically, like many, my desired hair style was just that...high maintenance...or so I thought. I had been thinking of going a few shades lighter but had my concerns regarding the health of my hair, the drastic change and the inability to maintain my look as my hair length grew. Laura was aware of my concerns and had many great options that gave me what I wanted and most importantly, avoided ALL my concerns. I am have been incredibly happy with my new look since she has been servicing me and stand by the products she has recommended to keep my hair healthy, smooth and tangle free. The Salon itself is very inviting and the location provides many things to do before or after you are serviced. Sincerely, Very happy client! read more

I've been in this salon multiple times and the staff is consistently welcoming and cheery. The salon is clean, modern and inviting. They offer a wide range of services: cuts, retro up-dos, feather hair extensions etc. The last time I was in I had a pedicure by Jimilyn, she gives a great massage and the service included a sugar scrub and cucumber heel therapy! Just what I needed after a long week of work. read more

Love love love This place! So welcoming and everyone is just so nice! I used to go to pin ups and just be ignored by the owner and everyone there except my friend Joanna who now works at silhouettes and is still my hair stylist. She has never disappointed me and I would Strongly recommend her to Do hair!!! She is amazing!! read more

I had my appointment with laura today and it was great! I used a groupon which laura usually does not take, but she was nice enough to accept my appointment anyway. She really took the time to listen to what i wanted to do with my hair and was thoughtful enough to ask how i styled my hair when i go out to determine the appropriate length of my layers. Pros: Cute boutique salon on the harbor. Lots of good stylists to chose from. Cons: SUPER hard to make an appointment. I called several times during their business hours and no one picked up. I ended up physically going to the salon to make an appointment. BUT, laura books her appointments directly so I'll be calling her direct line from now on. Overall I was pleased with my cut and I might just let Laura be my stylist from now on. read more

I have been to a few salons in Ventura, and have never felt very much loyalty to any of them. However, after using a Groupon for Cut & Color at Silhouttes, I think I finally found a place to get my hair done! Anne was my stylist and was awesome! I always appreciate when a stylist actually does their job, evaluates your hair, and gives you a good professional recommendation. Anne totally did this! I left feeling great, and my hair looked amazing! I plan on going back for a mini spa day, and use another Groupon I purchased, get a pedi and my hair done. Excellent salon, in a great location! Give it a try! read more

I absolutely loved my hair ! It was my first time there and Laura was AMAZING super super friendly and happy we literally talked the whole 3 hours I was there ! I was only left alone for about 15 minutes when I was in the Dryer but she was so attentive! I wanted a drastic change of look and she made my vision come true ! I went from super super long dark heavy hair and I left with a short balayage texture hair I am In love and so is my husband ! Lol .. I will never ever let anyone else touch my hair but her from now on! read more

I love how they treat me and make me look like a million bucks for considerably less:)) I'll be coming here again and again plus it's a fantastic location! What a find! read more

My family and I went on vacation for Labor Day this past weekend, and my hair needed a cut; BADLY. So, I opened my phone and searched for the best and closest locations from yelp users and this place won my business. They were very courteous and helpful, seeing as I was from out-of-town, and they were able to book me rather quickly, giving me a price quote over the phone. Rebecca is who I ended up with, though the rest of ladies were super nice to me while I was waiting. They even had a coffee bar, which was a nice touch. I needed a color correction to blend my natural roots with my bleached ends, something that I have had done wrong for me in the past. Rebecca NAILED it. With the lowlights mixed in with new highlights, I looked and felt amazing. When I got back into work this morning, my neighbors in the next office didn't even recognize me at first! My husband sure did a double-take as well! Thanks, Rebecca and Crew. I will def be back :) read more

My hairdresser, Krista recently relocated to this salon and it is at a great location at beautiful Ventura Harbor. The salon has a friendly, laid-back feel with lots of windows and light. Krista is a gifted stylist and has been doing my hair for a couple years...she is fast, thorough and is good with color and cuts. Highly recommend her! read more

Laura did my hair for my wedding. It went from a frizzy mess to absolutely beautiful. She completely calmed me down and made the whole day better, and my hair was absolutely perfect for my day. I will love coming back here. photos to come!! read more

It's a new salon with cute interior in the Ventura Harbor. Not too big or too small, the staff is super nice and the big plus is they provide nails, hair, massage, skincare and waxing services! read more

Wonderful ambiance- laid back but very professional. Rebecca is the perfect stylist - she listens to what you want and makes sure it matches what really suits you. Let me put it this way, I drive from the valley to have Rebecca cut my hair. Enough said. read more

I had Annie, whom I found out is the owner, cut my hair. Gorgeous studio, and she was so nice. She worked me in pretty last minute considering the fact that this is a hair salon. She made me feel so relaxed and at ease immediately upon entering, and knew exactly how to cut my hair in a way that it looked so amazing, and would handle well no matter how styled. I've never really gone to an actual studio, but I've been dying to find a regular place I can visit, and this has definitely become the place. I can't speak for the other stylists (though they seemed sweet as well) but I would suggest that if you need a place, go here and ask for Annie because she's nothing short of wonderful. read more

I've been getting my haircut by Kelly for over 7 years now. She's amazing! I have thin long hair and she always layers my hair so that I have "volume". The salon is nice and clean... And right by the beach! read more

Do NOT let Laura cut your hair!!! She is inexperienced and unprofessional and does a terrible job. She charges top dollar but has not earned that rate. She gave me a terrible haircut! It was crooked, un-even and not at all what we had discussed. She needs to pay her dues and practice, practice, practice. Also, she tries to impress her not at all cool friends who hang out in the salon! Those great reviews about Laura are written by her. They are not based on fact. She is TERRIBLE. She, herself has a terrible haicut read more

Got my hair cut by Rebecca. She did an awesome job! She listened to what I wanted and suggested some good options before she started cutting away. She really payed attention to the details of what I wanted and even trimmed my beard up. She is awesome at hair & she made the hair cut very enjoyable! Thank you Rebecca!! read more

I got my hair colored by Laura and I love it!!! She knew exactly what I wanted and also took time to show me how to style it different. The salon was clean and everyone was friendly. They also offered me coffee and made me feel welcomed. I cant wait to go back to Laura!!!!! read more

My daughter and I both received great haircuts from Annie on New Years Eve. She did a really good job by taking time to listen to wishes and concerns. This was our first time there and we will return. read more

Last weekend I had an appointment with Joanna @ Silhouettes. Being that it was my first time there, I was nervous trying someone new. But, trust me, toss those nerves aside! Joanna is one of the best stylists I have ever had. She did a wonderful job all the way around! Great color, cut and style! It doesn't get better than that! It's so hard to find someone who can do all three services with such perfection. I am extremely picky about my hair and was 100% satisfied! Highly recommened!!! read more

I found this salon with a special on Groupon and decided to try it after reading all of the great reviews and I was not disappointed! It's a very nice salon - very clean and comfortable. I had an appointment for a haircut with Annie and she did a great job of listening to what I wanted and then cutting it to the length I desired. I also needed some highlights added to my hair so I made another appointment for that to be done last month and she did an excellent job. I am so happy that I found them on Groupon and they are now my new place for cuts and color! Thank you Annie! read more

This is the only place I will go to get my hair done. Laura is one of the best hair stylists ever. She helped me out of a very bad hair do, and now I won't go to anyone else. She always does exactly what you ask, or she'll show you a way to improve on your style to work best with your type of hair. I seriously recommend going to them if you need your hair done! You won't regret it!!! read more

Love my haircut. I didn't have to wait and she listened to my ideas and made suggestions for the style. I'll be back.

Just discovered this salon and it is fantastic! I wanted to make a dramatic change and cut my long naturally curly hair into a pixie. Joanna was my stylist and she did a great job. I love the way my hair looks. Super friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Will be back! read more

Laura is truly amazing! Before I saw her I had a haircut nightmare and she really took the time to listen to what I was looking for and helped correct my haircut and showed me how to style it and which products to use! read more

I absolutely LOVED this hair salon! Not only is their work fabulous but they are all so friendly! Laura is fantastic with color and I would highly recommend her! This place is a must go ;) read more

I have had two really good visits to Silhouettes with Rebecca. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my color, and no nonsense about NOT doing something I would regret. She was also generous in giving me a long consultation before I decided to do something dramatic. I got a Keritin smoothing treatment, and it has made a dramatic positive difference in my hair. Rebecca included the shampoo and conditioner in the price of the treatment, which I appreciate. I had a Brazillian Blowout once before (somewhere else,) and that was also great, but the price tag, plus the extra $50 in add on hair products made me feel like I had been taken for a ride. Great place, I am certainly going back. read more

Two words: Laura Martin! She is what all women want in a hair stylist. She is absolutely amazing!!!!!! I moved to Ventura a year ago from San Diego and after hopeless attempts to find trendy restaurants, shops, decent nail salons, etc., I left my nappy roots as is for way too long, expecting to find the same failure in hair salons/hair stylists. My hair had grown out of wack, literally one side was longer than the other. I searched and found the 5 red stars on silhouettes by the beach, and read the outstanding comments about Laura. I called and booked an appointment with her and it was the best decision I have ever made since we moved to Ventura! She is so sweet, caring, attentive, smart, and fun to talk to. But the best part is she is incredible at what she does. She is a perfectionist at what she does! My hair was literally perfect. Both sides even, and that is because she checked so many times and kept making sure I felt happy. This is seriously the best haircut I have ever had into life!!! read more

Silhouettes By The Beach - My hair by Laura Martin. Love it!!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

Laura is FANTASTIC! I have been to over 5 different shops, no one has come close to this salon. Great environment, wonderful and talented hair stylists. Due to my hair being a wreck, I was there close to 3 hours. I saw clients come and go at that shop that day and I was impressed by everyone who walked out with such beautiful hair. I can't say enough about Laura and the salon it was just a great experience. read more
