the following review reflects my treatment, rather than services received:…read more FBS is a quiet and peaceful place, so the cold and abrasive attitude I faced was unexpected. I went in for a teeth whitening service from Stephanie some time in 2017. As someone who has extensive experience in maintaining client relations, I was genuinely confused. I sensed a condescending attitude in the worst moments (in one exchange with Stephanie: "there's this term, you definitely wouldn't know it, that Germans use to describe middle pain 'mittelschmerz'", haunts me to this day not because her attitude was unbelievably holier-than-thou), and apathy in the best times of our appointment. I politely thanked her for my service at the end, which was when she was the nicest and proceeded to seat me at her computer to write a positive review on google (which I've since deleted). To be fair, the ozone whitening treatment deserves 4/5, as she was really gentle and meticulous with my teeth. My feelings and comfort - not so much. Some will like her stories. Beware if you like to feel welcomed when receiving personal services. It took me 3 years to post this because I genuinely have a hard spreading negative reviews (I definitely didn't want to leave a harsh review as the experience was still fresh and emotional) but if I couldn't feel better after all this time, sharing is appropriate.

I just got my eyelashes permed yesterday with Stephanie and they look absolutely gorgeous! I chose…read moreto get the eyelash perming as an alternative to eyelash extensions (which Forever Beautiful Spa also offers) because they are less maintenance which I love as a mother of a young child. She also sells an excellent growth serum that I used (as suggested) before the treatment. I feel like it made my lashes look thicker and longer, and now that I have the perm it looks almost as if I had gotten extensions. I Love them thanks Stephanie! I posted pictures above for those of you thinking about getting it done.

Vickie Waite was one of the hair and make-up stylists for my best friend's Santa Barbara wedding…read morethis past weekend. While the other stylist, Julie, did my hair I jumped in Vickie's chair for some makeup love...and hoped when she was done with me you wouldn't be able to see the signs of last night's margarita hangover in my eyes. And she got the job done... Vickie mentioned that the bride had asked her to give everyone a natural look, but I'm one of those girly girls who loves a ton of makeup (the more...the better) so with the bride's permission I asked her to make me super glam instead. She pulled out the smoky purple MAC eye-shadows and got to work. Oh, and there were eyelash extensions involved too, which got me super excited. 30 minutes later I was very happy with the results and didn't ask Vickie to change a thing...and I'm not one to be shy when I think I'd prefer something else. And the other gals looked beautiful too when Vickie was done with them.

I am originally from San Diego but was getting married in Camarillo. I was not familiar with the…read morearea and I was having a very difficult time finding a hair stylist for my wedding day. I had done two trial runs already with two separate hair stylists and was not very happy with the results. I finally found someone only TWO weeks before my wedding to do mine, my mother, and my sisters hair.... cutting it way too close. Unfortunately, three days before my wedding, my stylist had a tragedy in her family and could no longer make my wedding. Talk about a bride's nightmare! However my stylist had already contacted Vickie Waite for me and had given her all of my details, pictures of what I wanted done, and set her up as a replacement. I had never met her nor done any test runs, but I went with it and crossed my fingers. Vickie turned out wonderful! She came to our hotel, brought all of her supplies and extra just in case, and most importantly she worked with me and listened to what I wanted, even redoing my hair if I did not like it. She did a great job on my family, and stayed to touch up our makeup and help take pictures and videos while we were getting ready. I am very happy to have had her!

The rest of the staff are all very welcoming and there are good vibes all around.

If you are reading this review, you are looking for a hair stylist in the Ventura area, and I can…read moretell you that you need look no further. Melissa Lyn is outstanding in every way. I went to her in November, a rush job I needed done just days before Thanksgiving. I found her here on yelp, just like you, and called with very little real hope of getting an appointment on such short notice, and pre-holiday at that! But the good Melissa Lyn was able to book me that week, and I could say that 'the rest is history' or that 'I haven't looked back', but this is yelp, and details are essential. I moved here recently from the bay area, and just as many of you are, I was dreading the needle-in-a-haystack search for a new hairstylist, and alllll that goes into it. It's important to mention here that just 6 weeks earlier I had been to a different salon in Port Hueneme, one that came pretty well reviewed on yelp, and well, I began hating my color within two weeks, and she totally jacked up my cut in the back. Melissa Lyn gave me the stylish color and highlights and flattering cut I wanted. That was two months ago, and when I saw her again for a root touch-up and a few more highlights just last week my hair STILL looked good! She truly is a genius with color and texture, and has an eye for precision in her cuts. And as so many others have said in their reviews, Melissa Lyn is one of the most genuine and delightful people I believe I have yet to meet. I wish we were best friends, too, because she is exactly the kind of person you just want to be around all the time Melissa Lyn's talent and skills as a hairstylist are only out shined by her amazing beauty and consummate vibe. Her blow dry was utterly amazing...I don't think I have ever enjoyed having my hair brushed and dried so much, EVER! And as an artist, she has a great reverence for her craft, and holds a spot among the best in her field by no accident and not by luck (or by faked reviews on yelp like SOME people do), but because she holds her profession with veneration. Don't waste anymore time or effort looking for a stylist...you just found one. Your hair and your conscience will thank you, and you'll be telling all your friends to go to Melissa Lyn, too!
