I 100% recommend The Color Bar to all my friends! Everyone is so kind and thoughtful, and the work they do is 10/10. Tara is OUTSTANDING. Anyone who objects is wack or psychotic. Been going here for years and have always loved the vibe, the quality, and the kindness. One of the best salons in VC. read more

This was our first time here, and we had such a great experience! They were very accommodating and were able to book us an appointment right away, which we truly appreciated. The vibe in the salon was welcoming, relaxed, and positive -- it made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. Jennie did an amazing job on my daughter's hair, the color turned out absolutely beautiful, even better than we expected. She was so patient and kind, and really took the time to make sure everything was perfect. She made my daughter feel comfortable the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. We're so happy with the results and will definitely be back! read more

I am absolutely in love with this place! The staff is very welcoming and friendly even if they are not your stylist. It's so easy to communicate my wants and Kelly executes it every time! The salon is always clean which makes the experience even better. You really don't know what you have until you lose it. I haven't been back in a while and I wish I came back sooner! Thank you Kelly for always taking care of me! Will always recommend The Color Bar! read more

I've been to numerous nail techs in VC and LA and nobody does it like Adenna! I live in LA and have no problem going out of my way to see her. She always gets it right! Now being at the color bar too such a beautiful, cozy place in a perfect location. I can't recommend Adenna (@thebossofnails on IG) enough for the perfect Russian manicure. She takes her time so don't go in a rush, but you will not be disappointed! My nails are healthy and natural thanks to her! read more

More than one time, their "barber" person (M****) didn't return my message when I was simply trying to schedule a haircut. I was initially attracted to this business, because I thought the word "Color" probably referred to them being friendly to all the different kinds of people represented in the diversity of a rainbow. LOL, I don't really know why I was excluded or forgotten, but I can say when I lived in San Francisco for several years, I always felt welcome in every business I walked into, regardless of where others might identify me on the rainbow of humanity. read more

I recently left a review for Jacob , stylist at the color bar. Great vibe, California eclectic. Jacob did a color correction. It's beautiful. He then gave a cut and blow dry which was pretty awesome. read more

Marisa Prizzi has been my hair ANGEL for years! Not only does she always execute the color I'm going for, but she also always gets my haircut down to perfection. One thing about her is she is ALL ABOUT HAIR HEALTH! She always makes sure that you can get to the color you want and is honest if you can/cannot get there the first time around, but will work with you to get where you want without causing any unnecessary damage to your hair. She is the sweetest person and can vibe with anyone. She also has done multiple of my family members hair as well. I miss her here in the Bay Area but I know she is just going to flourish over in Ventura! Here are some pictures of the different colors and styles we've done to my hair in the span of 7-8 years together. And this even all of it either read more

KELLY at The Color Bar is INCREDIBLE. I couldn't recommend her enough! She is so kind and does a FANTASTIC JOB every time. She's probably stuck doing my hair forever haha.

I can't say enough about Kelly at The Color Bar. I searched high and low for someone in Ventura County that could take me from my black hair to a vibrant purple that I've always dreamed of. Kelly was practical and straightforward with the process and timeline of the transition to get me where I needed to be, which I SO appreciate and hope others do too. She truly wanted what was best for my hair (and me!). read more

The color bar is full of great stylists and such a cute spot! I cannot recommend Tara enough! Not only is she an incredibly talented stylist, but she's also one of the kindest and most genuine people I know. I only trust her with my blonde! She also is a pro at extensions. I love my i-tips! Whether I'm going in for a full refresh or just a quick touch-up, I always leave feeling confident and beautiful. She truly listens, pays attention to every detail, and somehow makes the whole experience feel like a hangout with your best friend. Tara is the best! read more

Tara was on time, gave me the cut and color I wanted and we talked like we were old friends.! I will be going back

i would give this place absolutely ZERO stars if possible. they destroyed my sisters hair, and when i tried to explain the situation, they HUNG UP ON ME. and i tried to call back to get a resolution, or at least the owners number, and they called me "psycho" and hung up again. HORRIBLE customer service and overpriced scam. unless you have a humiliation and deceit fetish, DO NOT COME HERE. and if you are the owner reading this, message me IMMEDIATELY so this can be resolved, that is if you have integrity and actually care about the customers satisfaction more than a paycheck. i had to call for my little sister because she's in a vulnerable space right now. this needs to be resolved IMMEDIATELY. read more

This place is AMAZING! I came in for their free cut for LGBT folks day, and decided to get a color for Pride Month, too. My stylist, Marisa, was FANTASTIC. I sent pictures ahead of time to give her an idea of what I wanted. She talked me through her process, we made some adjustments, and it came out amazing. Honestly one of the best cut and colors I've ever gotten. I've only had it a few hours and have already gotten a ton of compliments! I cannot recommend this shop, or Marisa herself, enough! The vibe here is great, the talent is off the charts. Do yourself a favor and come get your next cut and color at The Color Bar! read more

Marisa Prizzi cut and styled my hair! From the moment I walked in, her energy was warm, welcoming, and friendly! She asked me if I wanted tea, coffee, or water. Marisa did a fabulous job of my hair and also left me with so many product recommendations specific to my hair needs. Not only did she listen to what I was looking for, she also educated me with hair knowledge. I appreciated that a lot. Thank you for your beautiful and fun energy! I'll be back in a couple of months! Great vibes! read more

I just went there today for the first time. Jacob saved my hair. He was able to correct my hair color and brought it back to life. Not to mention, I loved our conversations. I love how healthy my hair looks. Thank you Jacob. I will be back. read more

I recently had my very first facial with Gabby the aesthetician! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel welcome and comfortable. Gabby carefully looked at my skin and customized the treatment to my needs, including gentle extractions. The whole experience was relaxing, and my skin felt refreshed afterward. Since my visit, my acne has improved a lot and I will provide some pictures below! Gabby really knows her stuff and is so passionate about skincare and has great recommendations for daily products that have worked great for me and my skin type . I highly recommend her and can't wait for my next appointment! read more

Daisy was so kind, sweet, friendly, and took the time to answer the 900 questions I had about my hair. Ultimately we went for a reshape instead of a chop because my end goal is to grow out. She shaped my hair PERFECTLY it lays exactly how I want it to. It was such a relief because my whole life I've been so let down by hairstylists I ended up just learning how to DIY my own haircuts. A bad haircut can be pretty devastating. So this was my first time getting my hair professionally cut in 6+ years so I was extremely nervous but Daisy made the experience perfect. 100% will be coming back she has a client for life. read more

I booked an appointment a few months back, and I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately, I had booked the appointment time incorrectly by a half hour in my own calendar and missed my appointment. That's on me, totally my fault. However, I had reached out a few days ahead of my appointment to confirm and never received a reply, nor did the salon reach out to me to confirm. Then, when I showed up a half hour late and no one was there, I was confused and the stylist never even reached out to see why I was running late and didn't seem interested in understanding what happened. I declined to reschedule because the communication was poor and left me feeling blamed for the whole thing. Now that I think back to the initial booking process - my first contact gave me the number of the stylist rather than attempting to making the appointment for me or at least having the stylist reach out themselves, leaving it up to me to do the work, which just feels like poor service. All of these missed opportunities could have been easily fixed with some very simple communication. read more

Daisy is super bubbly and friendly. I was very comfortable with my hair cut. Other salons I have gone to made me feel uncomfortable but daisy made this experience wonderful. I felt comfortable expressing myself and the vibes were immaculate. She gave me exactly what I asked for which was a wolf cut and everyone around me says my hair looks way better than before. I highly recommend to come here and i highly suggest booking an appointment with daisy. My wife, my sister n law, and even my mother all have came to get a haircut with daisy and absolutely love her and her personality. Even the salon itself has such a good vibe. read more

I got my hair done early in September and I thought I already had done a Yelp review, but it didn't go through!! My best friend and I got our hair done together by Marisa!! We had such a good time with her! I told her exactly what I wanted and she did it 100% how I imagined it. I also loved the energy of The Color Bar and the staff. The entire experience was a 10/10. I felt so comfortable with Marisa and she is so talented!!!! I recommend going to her if your local or from out of town. I'm usually picky about newbs doing my hair. Marisa was ON POINT!!! I'm so glad I got to write another review. read more

This is a review for Marisa I know her from the Bay and was very sad when i heard she moved.

Even when there was a confusion she was always willing to clarify or fix it for me.You won't regret it trust me! read more

Marisa is my stylist and she is phenomenal. Her vibe is like nothing I've experienced. Never felt judged in her chair-she's always made me feel welcomed and taken care of right away. Her work is amazing and she listens while also suggesting the best route which is safe for my hair. She's so talented! She will be your new bestie from the moment you talk with her, you feel like you've known her your whole life, she is so down to earth. Her goal to figure out what you want and then she goes beyond your imagination of what you thought. I'm so grateful for Marisa and the safe space she gives her clients. Thank you Marisa! read more

Marisa worked absolute magic on my hair! I wanted a particular hybrid pink-purple, and she was patient with me until we got the color I wanted. She made me feel comfortable and kept me in the loop about what she was doing while I was in her chair. She was also super helpful with tips about aftercare for the color and for my curls. I love love love it, thank you Marisa! read more

I've said it once and I'll say it again. I LOVE THE COLOR BAR. I go to Eleanor each time and adore her work. She is a TRUE ARTISTE. The atmosphere of this place is magic, unlike any salon I've ever been to. It's so cool and casual and doesn't smell of chemicals somehow. The other stylists always chime in and end up chatting with Eleanor and I as she works on my hair - it's so fun and comfortable and feels like I've known everyone for years. Go make your appointment, you will not regret it. This time I got balayage and k18 treatment and wOw, YeS. I feel revived on a spiritual level. read more

The Color Bar is an amazing salon full of high energy, positive artists that know what they're doing when it comes to hair. My husband has been seeing Lara and we both absolutely love what she's done styling the post-COVID casual look. We loved her so much that we even referred my picky, opinionated mother and she came back raving! (There should be a bonus star on Yelp for people like her...) When it came time for me to get my hair bleached, cut and styled for the first time since lockdown began 14 months ago, I also naturally chose The Color Bar and teamed up with the very talented Amanda. The richness of my color and how gorgeous it looked after she cut & styled it was unmatched. She took her time and really cared about the final outcome. She's earned my trust and I'll absolutely be seeing her again. I'm looking forward to experimenting with different colors and shades in the future. Finally, I have to add that The Color Bar has a very inclusive feel to it. Whether you're shy in a salon setting or looking for a progressive salon that is LGBTQ+ friendly, this should absolutely be your first choice. You can feel it the moment you walk in the door. Thank you Amanda! Looking forward to seeing you again! read more

I made an appointment online and got my cut the same day. I have long hair with layers I love and Marisa did a great job giving me the exact trim I wanted! She's a go-to stylist in my book! read more

First of all, this salon is SOOO cute and inviting, I really enjoyed the ambiance. Jacob was able to get me in same day for a tone because the stylist I went to where I live had screwed up my hair and not listened to what I wanted. Jacob validated to me, listened to what I wanted, and executed it perfectly. He is also so so friendly and easy to talk to which is important for a stylist. I 1000% recommend him and I've found a new person to go to when I am in town! read more

Best salon the 805 hands down! Got a trim/fade +straight shave done by Maria. Good vibes and good people!

Love everything about the color bar, from location to staff to quality of cut and service! You can't go wrong here, the vibes are just so welcoming and open!! I go to Tara and she is hands down the most amazing and talented hair dresser I've ever been to. You can tell she's passionate about her work and genuinely enjoys what she does. On top of all of that she really knows what she's doing. I saw her after YEARS of not cutting my hair (due to a different hairdresser giving me a wrong cut that traumatized me!!) and she made me feel so comfortable and the cut she gave me gave me the confidence I've been lacking in my life. (I have LONG hair and she gave me the best layers and the cutest face framing!) IF YOU NEED A HAIR DRESSER GO TO HER (or anyone at this salon they're all so sweet here ) read more

I highly recommend Marisa! She refreshed my color and cut over the weekend, and I could not be more pleased. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and was super patient with me as I was impulsively changing my mind on the length of my bangs. She is very thoughtful on listening to your needs and what you are hoping to achieve with your visit. read more

Had THE best experience with Marisa! I came in for a partial and trim. She definitely listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. I found her Instagram to be super helpful before I booked my appt @coloredbymarisa. She is definitely one of the top stylists in Ventura so I highly recommend getting an appointment! Also, she is very uplifting and fun to be around. When I was leaving I told her " not sure if my hair has ever looked this good" and I've been getting my hair lightened for 20 years. The salon is very spacious, the vibe is down to earth, and welcoming. read more
