    I had an appointment with stylist Cas. She was amazing!! She listened to what I was looking for and took her time making sure the coloring was as close as possible to what I wanted. She was very friendly and walked me through the process. I was a bit nervous going from light hair to dark but she rest assured me and calmed my nerves. My hair came out beautiful and just what I wanted! I would definitely recommend her!

    I was referred to Dada and the Hair Parlor as my gentleman's barber last summer and I am so happy with our association! Dada is very detailed and personalizes my cut exactly the way I like it! He uses top products and includes a lot of special touches that you just don't get everywhere and at reasonable rates. The folks in his parlor are very friendly and outgoing and make me feel so comfortable when I go there. I really like the recent move to Main St. in Ventura, right upstairs from Ventiki Tiki Lounge and Lanai! The parlor has a great feel to it and the whole area has a great vibe! Plenty of parking available and easy access off of the freeway. I highly recommend the Hair Parlor.

    This shop is amazing! It's beautiful and the vibe is great. They make you feel welcome. Gemma did such an amazing job on my hair! True artist! I will definitely be going back!

    This is my first time at The Hair Parlor, nice little salon located in Heritage square. It's a welcoming place and they offer complementary drinks :) I came here to have my hair done by Brenda. Brenda just moved to this Salon but she has been doing my hair for the past year. I'm glad I found her. I was always scared of getting my hair dyed and did my research before finding Brenda on Instagram. I went to her for a Baleage, I loved it and have kept going back. Brenda always does amazing work!!

    Dada Lopez has an Awesome salon place. Great location and atmosphere. Very clean and nothing but, wonderful vibes from Team Dada, Brenda And Sammie. Brenda Hendricks did an Amazing job on my Daughter Charley's hair. We loved the beautiful cut and style! We will be back. Very impressed by all. Much Love and Aloha to Team Hair Parlor From #TeamCharleyBear

    I've been seeing Brenda for a little while now and I have to say that I am always really happy with my results. I tend to be very indecisive when it comes to my hair but she always manages to figure out what I want and delivers. She's very nice and I love this quaint little spot. While I was getting my hair done I saw some amazing work from the barber there. Seriously amazing! They both are just fantastic, I can't recommend them enough.

    I moved to Ventura a few years ago, and I was on the hunt for a hairstylist who not only does an…read moreamazing job but is also friendly and professional. One day, while getting coffee at Palm & Boy across the way, I noticed a charming salon. Curious, I stopped by and was greeted by a lovely receptionist who immediately connected me with Corey. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery! Corey is not only skilled but also incredibly kind and compassionate. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine care, and I'm so grateful to have found her at Matiz Salon. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and I always leave feeling amazing. Highly recommend!

    I should've left this five star review over a year ago when she did my hair, but I am leaving it…read morenow because she deserves so much credit. I'm a natural auburn redhead and so I appreciated her. Still keeping my natural color but adding some blonde to it. That is not an easy task. KRESA is amazing at what she does. She made me feel so good after my appointment. To this day, I have not found anyone that can cut and color my hair like her. It's funny because when I first went to the salon in Ventura, it was because I was housesitting for my parents and since I live in a small mountain town I rarely get my hair done and I thought while I was there, I could do it. Little did I know that I knew Kresa from Bakersfield. I used to get my hair done at her salon that she owned, but didn't have the pleasure of getting my hair done by her. I live about five hours away and I am absolutely considering driving that far to get my hair done once I get a new job. If you need your hair done, seriously go to Kresa.

    I truly did not want to write this review about my experience at The Color Bar on June 27, 2026…read more However, after a new stylist declined to schedule a second appointment following my disclosure of what happened, I felt it was only fair to share an honest account so prospective clients could make an informed decision. I will not publicly disclose the name of either stylist, but I am willing to provide that information if contacted directly. I was at The Color Bar for approximately six hours. The foils on the right side of my head seemed to be processing normally. However, after the stylist remixed the color and began applying it to the left side, the foils became extremely hot. The heat was burning my neck and scalp, and my hair itself was burning. I was terrified that my hair was going to burn off, so I began pulling out the foils myself. They were so hot that they burned my fingers as I removed them. Even the salon owner felt the excessive heat. I did not learn until after the incident that she was the owner, but she did not show any concern. The stylist at The Color Bar accused me of putting something in my hair that caused the burning. However, the only product I had used was a natural black-hair shampoo approximately two weeks earlier. I have never experienced anything like this--not even after using boxed hair dye. In an attempt to correct the color, the stylist applied a toner that left my hair looking essentially black. My hair is neither thin nor straight, so perhaps its texture was more challenging for her to work with. However, I trusted that she had the experience necessary to color my hair safely. My hair was severely damaged, my shirt was left with major bleach stains, and although I did request a discount due to the less than professional service,  I was still charged and PAID HER $300. I have included pictures showing the bleach damage to my shirt from that appointment. Despite everything that happened, **I never became angry or raised my voice.** I showed the stylist considerable grace because her child had also been at the salon for several hours, and she shared that her husband had been deployed that day. In August, I visited a stylist at another salon, which I will not name in this review but it's at Hollywood Beach. During that appointment, I privately explained what had happened at The Color Bar and why my damaged hair required extra conditioning and care. When I later tried to schedule a second appointment, she declined to book me and said she had spoken to the other stylist - I didn't even provide her with a name, just an initial! (I could barely remember her name). **I cannot know exactly what was said between the two stylists, but I was shocked to be blamed for what happened**!! The fact that one side processed normally while the newly mixed color on the other side became dangerously hot speaks for itself. Clients should be able to trust that their hair will be treated safely. If something goes wrong, they also deserve honesty, accountability, and compassion. I hope this review encourages others to book with caution, research their stylist thoroughly, and ask questions before committing to a service. Regards, Ventura Resident

    Just wanted to give a refreshed review as I've been going to The Ivy Mae Salon for the past 4 years…read morenow and want to update you all that it is still my go-to spot. I no longer live as close to Ventura as I did before, however I will still make the long drive to get my hair cut by my girl Angie.

I was very clear with the receptionist about what I needed when I scheduled the appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and was told Emma was running half an hour late. When she finally came to fetch me she asked me what she could do for me. I told her. She said, "I don't cut short hair. My specialty is long hair." What kind of stylist can't cut short hair? She agreed to color it and tried to book me for the following week for a trim - with another stylist. I don't want to wait another week for a trim! The color she put on my hair was so dark it's almost black and does not match the color I already had. Guess I will have to start all over again from scratch. It's so very, very upsetting and disappointing.

They were beautiful and seemed sturdy. I was happy to pay the price with how gorgeous they were. By day 6, two nails had broken off. Not blunt breaks but a clean peel off of the glue. Since then, not even a month later, I have 3 nails left (I keep gluing them back on myself because it was so expensive and I wasn't really planning to get my nails done again so soon). To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Every time I have got Gel X they have lasted 6-8 weeks. For this price and time invested, this should not have happened. I've been on leave from work and resting mostly so I have not been rough with my nails AT ALL. These nails were cured several times so I do not know what the issue is. This salon was recommended to me by someone who has used them before and swore by their work. I'm not sure if it's the materials or technique but buyer beware. Gel X is not the strong suit here.
