    Styled cornrows by Shanaye - 10/10
    Andrew S.

    I'm from the SF Bay Area and I'm used to having a supply of places to do cornrows. However, ever since I've moved to Santa Barbara, it's been difficult to find stylists who have specialization in braiding hair. I drove an hour out to Camarillo to fulfill an appointment with Shanaye I had made less than a day before in order to braid the top of my hair. I've had cornrows at least five times before by professional stylists - so just in case, I expected the meeting to take a while. I had made space in my schedule to account for three hours. Shanaye only took 45 minutes to give me - I'm being one-hundred - the best braiding I've ever had. I was afraid to ask for the style because many people charge extra for challenging cornrows. Many people in the area that I had counted on before to 'hook me up' wanted at least $40 for the design I got done today. Shanaye charged me $30 (with $5 off for being a first-time client). Not only that, but I had felt welcome as soon as I step foot into the studio. It was a family-oriented environment - there was daytime television playing and Shanaye greeted me instantly upon my entrance. Shanaye is very easy to talk to. I don't usually say that liberally - I'm not a sociable person. However, it was effortless to have a relaxing conversation with Shanaye. There was a period where the other stylist joined in a topic. I never felt any pressure to talk or prove an image - this can be a huge problem for customers unfamiliar to the culture present in other studios that specialize in urban hairstyles - overall, I felt welcome at Simplicity. I only wish that I lived closer so I could come here more often. Fortunately, this isn't the last time that I'll see Shanaye. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get their hair braided.

    Before and after of my hair from Rosa. From the get go Neesha the owner was very kind and quick to respond about what I wanted and set up an appointment for me. Rosa was very sweet and listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations of how I thought it was going to turn out. So if you're looking for a place to get any sort of salon treatment done I suggest simplicity

    I absolutely love this place. I've gone here twice and I'm able to get a full weave and closure installed in less than 3 hours! My last salon, a full weave was an all day event. My stylist is Shanaye and she is absolutely hands down extremely professional. She is ready to start when I arrive and does not need to take breaks or jump to another client while doing my hair. Shanaye also cares about my natural hair and gives a lot of advice on keeping my natural hair healthy while wearing a protective style. The shop is immaculate and the staff seem very friendly. Shanaye and her team welcome all different hair types as the staff is diverse. Their motto on the wall (and I'm paraphrasing) they work hard to make you look beautiful...I'm going to have to come back and correct that. Nevertheless, I look forward to working with Shanaye in red future!

    I just want to thank Lady's at Simplicity Hair Studios!! My daughters hair, nails, and makeup looked so beautiful for her Prom.

    This place is a one stop shop. I took my daughter here to have her hair, nails, and makeup done. They did not disappoint!!

    The hair salon part of this Salon is horrible, I had called before I went and asked how much a trim was she said $40, not telling me how much a flat iron and style would hike up the price. If I need it was going to be that much I would've just went to my regular hair lady and got weave. I was trying to save money but the overall total was $105. I went to my bank and filed a claim, let the lady know that did my hair if my bank reached out to her and never got a reply back until yesterday. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair trimmed and it didn't even look similar to the picture I will attach it below, AND I will attach all the screenshots of the conversation with the lady that did my hair (Rose). But I went back to my regular hair stylist and told her about the Simplicity place and she didn't have nothing but bad things to say about them. I even told my mom and she said the Camarillo Salon that she goes to didn't have anything good to say about them either, they told her to never go to that hair salon and right when I stepped out that salon after she was done with my hair I told myself I was never going to go back. they got me fucked up. If i could give them zero stars I would

    I really enjoy the environment at this salon. Everyone is nice and friendly! Shanaye does a great job on my hair and she does exactly what I ask of her to do in a timely manner. Carmen is the prefect person to go to for a hair cut. I have been going to this salon some years now, and I have never see Carmen do a bad cut yet. In fact, she cut my hair in the perfect Mohawk. I love my cut. I would recommend this salon to my friends and family, and I drive from Eagle Rock, Ca to get my hair done there. Great salon and great people!

    Sue did such wonderful job on my hands and yes I'm certainly a male who happens tone into this stuff.
    Reece B.

    Sue did a nice job on me. Look at my acrylic nails with French white tips in the background. I'm a male and I have had people comment on my nails plenty of times. This is such a wonder privilege to have French white tip acrylics as a male person and enjoy every moment of it. This person Sue did such a nice job on me.

    Out the door!! Thank you!!!!

    Neesha is amazing!!! I just moved to Ventura and desperately needed a stylist. She listens so well and really knows her hair products! She will be my regular stylist from now on!! Call her today!!

    Very bouncy and free

    Jennifer did a great job! And was really nice! Just a simple haircut, but Would come back again.read more

    My hairdresser was unavailable for a root touch up so I cold called and spoke with Carol who quoted…read moreme $80 for the job. After the service I mentioned the color was too light and she insisted it wasn't. Even solicited a colleague's opinion (something I learned was common practice in salons with unhappy customers). She stated it looked lighter due to "the lighting " and sent me on my way up charging me an additional $30. Being uncomfortable and conflict avoidant, I paid and tipped 15%. When I got home I took pics of the color in various lighting. Instead of a gray streak, I had a light brown one. She offered to do a repeat however, I did not trust her judgement and gaslighting tendencies. Said I was willing to have a redo by the owner of the shop which she was non-responsive to. She offered a $90 refund less her "product fee". She never replied to my question regarding the price increase. Carol was delightful to converse with during the service rendered. She probably does a fine job with her normal clients. For me and this root job, she missed the mark. Her attempts to convince me it was the right color, just angers me. I communicated with the owner via text after leaving a few VM's. She apologized for the experience and had no comment regarding the increased price. I'm hitting the box and doing it myself if I'm ever in this situation again!
