Got to see Zach for the first time in 6 years! Always great. The stupid governor has made it very difficult with the 25% rule. Prices went up but that's understandable. Always my place in SB. read more

Zach got me lookin proper, my hair is ready for quarantine part deux. I've been coming to this place for about seven years now, and they give the most consistent and high quality cut that I've found. Both Zach and Nolan are skillful, they listen to what you want, and they deliver. read more

Amazing! So from the moment I walked in I was greeted by Zak with a friendly warm invite. My stylist was Nolan who literally breathed life back into by dryed weathered hair. Love the color and the trimm. Highly recommend this salon to all. 5 stars read more

I really like the way I was treated at TRiMM. Zac was my hairstylist and he was just very cool--- he listened a lot and was supportive of certain things I wanted help with (I have unusual hair). He tried to explain the things hairstylists look for when they evaluate someone's hair to be colored--- I like learning things! Also, very GOOD prices for the service--- for me that's paramount The other guy (Nolan?) was also very cool--- these kinds of things make a difference! PLUS: there is a dog named Fritz who gives you love . It was not a "pretentious" place yet it was sophisticated... Redken Shades EQ was what Zac toned my hair with and it looks good! Next time I want to go for a really unusual toner--- maybe a strawberry tiny--- was thanks! read more

Samara is an excellent stylist with over 35 years. During covid I watched her thoroughly disinfect. The salon follows protocall. This salon is one of the best of sb if not the best. Samara is excellent at color cut and blow dry as well as getting punk fun colors in if you want. she cuts hair with precision. my hair doesn't feel damaged. she used a styling serum that was amazing. it took 5 hours of her hard work and the price is well worth it. If you want someone whose got expertise go to her. Shes legit and authentic as they come. She even consults with you prior to making an appointment for free. Trimm is also very groovy and has neat artwork. Great location and easy street parking. Also plays a lot of good music while doing hair. I will continue to go to her..the integrity of my hair is great and shes got a lot of experience with cut and color. I love her and my hair looks and feels amazing!! read more

I love this salon! Sarah J is an amazing artist.. perfect cut and color every time. I used to live in SF and spend waaaay too much money at a high end salon. Over time my hair ended up getting completely fried from the products they used for my color. Sarah uses much more gentle products and recommends good home care based on hair type. Because of this, I've been able to grow my hair out much longer than I have ever been able to before, and it's healthy! Imagine that. All for a fraction of what I used to pay. Also, the salon itself is great - fun decor, mellow and inviting atmosphere. Go see Sarah J! read more

I'd been dying my hair dark brown at home for about a year when I decided I wanted to go blonde again. This is a tricky task (especially since my hair turns orange very easily) and I was nervous to say the least. Nolan put in highlights to make my hair look naturally blonde again and he even made it look a little ombre like I was hoping! He walked me through what he was doing and corrected the inevitable hints of orange with a toner. I usually walk out of a hair salon wishing something was different but this experience was great! The price was extremely reasonable as well- less than I was quoted at Fantastic Sam's!! Marla usually does my hair, but she was on vacation at that time. She also does great cuts at very reasonable prices. The only complaint I have is that it takes awhile to get ahold of them to schedule an appt. Don't bother leaving a message, just keep trying to call. I highly recommend this place!! read more

Wonderful service and talent! I love my new hair color.....thank you! I highly recommend this salon.

Noland is the best in Santa Barbara. Fair prices for amazing cuts and color. I send all my girlfriends to him as well and they adore him! He is the only stylist to have ever told me "No. We are not doing that to your hair. You can go get it done somewhere else, but not by me." That is when he truly won my trust. I always want a professional who knows what's right and wrong for the type of hair I have, and he is it!! read more

TRiMM Salon Color Bar - That purple ombré though!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I was lucky to find this place in the midst of all the other flashy salons in the area. While humble looking on the outside, you find its quite the opposite once you walk through the doors. Funky art, 80s music bumping, and the nicest hair stylists you'll ever meet. I had the newest member of the Trimm team, Chelsea, do my hair and let me just tell you she gave me the best blonde I've ever had. Usually I'm a beach blonde kinda lady, comparable to Miranda Lambert or Heidi Klum. This one around though I wanted to go beige blonde for winter like Taylor Swift is rocking right now. Yes, name dropping all over the place. Chelsea could tell right off the bat that I am very particular about my hair and so she knew the pressure was on. Not only did she did she execute it 100%, she also did it in a pace that was respectful of my time. I would be stupid not to go back to her. Cheers to good hair and good vibes! read more

Awesome cut again! I drive all the way from Los Angeles to see Zack and Nolan. Worth the trip every time. They listen to what you want. It's alway good vibes and I leave happy. Thanks guys!! read more

TRiMM Salon Color Bar - Loving my cut! Thanks Zack! - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

All I can say is I love Marla. She is my hair superhero. As a kid I was seriously traumatized by a "haircut" experience. I don't do scissors. Marla was the first professional I entrusted my hair to- almost a decade ago - have since only seen two others & only because of the thousands of miles of distance between us. Not to mention the killer hairdo I always leave loving- but she is gentle1 and patient with me & my fearful irrationality of scissors and major changes. I love Marla, my new hair Thank you all those at Trim for the great atmosphere and a pleasure to get hair done! read more

I had a great experience meeting Nolan and getting a color and cut today. I will def be back. Great atmosphere and great conversation. Def recommend. read more

This place is great and you can't beat the price and service! I'm a natural blonde who has been self-coloring my hair for a year and generally relies on SuperCuts when I need a trim, so pampering is not something I do often. However, I hated my hair and needed a confidence boost. The reviews for this place were great so I gave it a shot to call at 2pm on a Saturday for a cut and color and made an appointment with Zack at 4pm. To be honest I am intimidated by a crowded salon with a chatty Betty judging my unkempt hair but this place was the polar opposite of that. I arrived about 10-15 minutes early and we got started right away. I had no idea what to do, what I wanted, or how to do it. I essentially told Zack to do whatever he wanted and he worked some magic. The color came out great and the cut he gave me was done with precision and care. Additionally, he's a cool guy who was easy to chat with. I love the ambiance of the place and will definitely be back. Edit: So, it's been a few months since I had my first color and cut here. I didn't think this great spot could get better, but it did! I had to make a weekday appointment with Zack and brought my 4 year old. It's impossible to get a kid to sit still for a couple of hours, but everyone in the shop was great. They interacted with her and gave me a few moments to enjoy and pay attention to my hair. Sara(h) and Shannon hung out while Zack diligently worked on my hair. I came out with a happy head and happy kid who can't wait to see her buddies again. I really can't recommend this place highly enough. There's a "hair mechanic" who will fit your style here. read more

Nolan is about as badass as a stylist gets. he's honest and ridiculously talented and takes an immense amount of pride in his salon, the people he has working for him, and their overall product - YOU! I never left with anything less than a masterpiece, and I still lament that I live so far away. prices are totally reasonable, shop is fun and upbeat without being irritating. have I mentioned Nolan?? BEST. STYLIST. EVER. plus he's adorable and easy to talk to. read more

Nolan is amazing!! I always used to get a hair cut every year, year and a half because I honestly didn't notice the difference- BUT Nolan's haircuts are so fabulous and reasonably-priced I went 4 months in between! They grow out even better too:) read more

Been going to Zack for a number of years now. Not only does he give a great haircut, he offers a friendly experience. I go in once a month and look forward to catching up with him every time. He has become a great friend over the years. He takes his time to make sure my cut is perfect. I consistently get compliments on my hair- even from my friends who are stylist. I think his quality would cost 60% more anywhere else than what I pay. I have never considered going anywhere else. read more

I would only recommend one hair salon in S.B. to anyone: Trimm. I went there every couple months for about two years; the only reason I don't go anymore is I moved out of the area. Brad is an awesome stylist and an awesome guy. The first time I went in to see him (on a friend's recommendation), I had never colored my hair before and didn't know a thing about it -- I had no idea how to tell him what I wanted, basically. Somebody had told me beforehand I should pick a photo of a girl with hair color I liked out of a catalog or magazine and bring it with me, so that's what I did. Brad replicated it precisely, and he did it again every single time I went in for touch ups. I'm sure all the other stylists are great, too, but I can say for sure that Brad knows what he's doing. And he's a great guy (doesn't try to make too much small talk, which is nice), he's fun to be around, and he does really awesome hair for a completely reasonable price. I recommend Trimm and Brad. read more

I am new to the area, but I am so glad to have found my new go-to salon in Trimm! Each time I have visited I have been very pleased. The staff is fun and professional. My cut and color always turns out exactly as I requested. This is not your fancy, up tight salon so be prepared to relax in a very casual setting. You will leave looking like a rock star for sure. Thanks, Trimm! read more

Absolute best in town, no question. I will drive from out of state to see Nolan, he's the only person alive I trust with my color needs. You guys rock :) read more

Nolan is a MAGICIAN! I am always leery about going into new Hair Salons, but boy am I glad I took a chance and saw Nolan. I can truly say that this is the best Haircut I've ever had, and the Ombre Highlights he did were Amaze-balls! He listened and gave me even better results than I ever imagined. I am picky and know exactly what I want, and most of the places I've been to, I've not gone back after the first time. He truly, pleasantly surprised me and delivered above and beyond my expectations. My husband agrees that this is THE BEST Haircut I've had, and is relieved hahaha. (We all know that if we get a bad haircut, the husband won't hear the end of it lol) So He is very grateful :) Thank you so so much Nolan and TRIMM Salon! I will be back!! read more

I love Trimm! I go to Chelsea and she always does a fabulous job with my difficult hair and is super pleasant and funny! I will be a customer for life!! read more

Nolan is the best with blonde weaves I've ever had- he is a scientist with color. I use to jump around salons for years but now I'm sticking with Nolan forever! I get women ask me all the time where I get my hair done at? Trimm! It's casual nothing fancy but a great fair price . read more

Trimm was opened by Nolan Brooks who used to work at salon Bamboo. I have been getting my hair done by Nolan since I was 16. He has always done a great job with the color. I am always getting people who ask me who does my color and I refer them to Trimm. Trimm salon is not located in a pricey area of town, which is why I think Nolan has kept his prices very reasonable for the services. The salon itself is electric and as soon as you walk in you think "cool." There are about 4 or 5 stylists there. Its by far the best kept Santa Barbara secret.... read more

Love this place! Nolan is a master hair highlighter. The salon is friendly, knowledgeable and laid back. I recommend this place to everyone I know! read more

I love this place! The people are cool, the place is chill and the price is reasonable. If you want a laid back atmosphere with great service, this is the place to go!! read more

Been seeing Zack for 7 years now. He was recommended to me by a friend when I moved to SB for school. I've tried getting my hair cut at a variety of places for in SF, Berkeley, Oakland, Santa Rosa, even Berlin and no one comes even remotely close. In 7 years he has never once given me a haircut that wasn't great. Also Zack is just an extremely good guy and it's been cool getting to know him over the years, I always look forward to seeing him. read more

After months of looking for a new hair dresser with reasonable prices I think I just found one. I am from the bay area where people charge ridiculous amounts to get your hair colored so I thought id try trimms as I was down here visiting friends for Halloween weekend. Not only did was Nolan quick with doing my hair, he knew exactly what I wanted. I went from a bright blonde that was beginning to look very brassy and he transformed my hair into a beautiful dirty blonde. Since then I've been getting complements from everyone. Couldn't be happier. Walked out of there for only $90, and I have long hair. So yeah I tipped him $15 thanks Nolan! read more

Sarah Jackson is the best stylist ever! Love this place!

Nolan is an awesome hairdresser! He begin cutting my hair around 2001-2002. I followed him when he changed salons. He cut my hair for about five years while I was attending UCSB. Since then, every time I come to Santa Barbara to visit I have him cut my hair. I have yet to replace him since 2005. I always felt great when I left his chair! I recently visited this past weekend 4/14/12 and Nolan washed and styled my hair for a night on the town. He made my hair look great and it made me miss him cutting my hair even more. It is definitely worth visiting this salon! :) read more

Nolan and Brad are the best, end of story. Don't waste your time elsewhere.

Great group of hair sylists! Very laid back and no pressure. Highly recommend going there. I have had both Marla and Zach cut my hair.

Zach is the man. Super friendly and always gets it right. Has always gotten me in the same day which is a huge plus

A haircut to remember and go back for more! I was a walk in client 10 years ago at the salon Nolan worked at before venturing out on his own and opening Trimm. He was so attentive and obviously skilled and I felt confident that I was in good hands from the beginning. The satisfaction I had with my haircut, followed by the compliments after have made me a loyal client. I have seen his amazing color transformations as well with other clients. I happen to love my natural color, so I won't be doing that, but if I did I would trust Nolan without reservation to work his color magic. I am moving from Santa Barbara in a few weeks and one of my stresses about moving is not having Nolan to trust with my hair. He truly cares about you and and wants you to look and feel good. And he has the extra touch to do that. I will not move away without getting one more haircut from Nolan. And I know it will be so awesome again, that it will be some time before I have to brace myself to trust someone in my new town to try to fill his magic shoes. read more

If you have bad experiences elsewhere in Santa Barbara and are worried about finding a stylist you can trust, look no further! I have gone to many other salons in Santa Barbara and my hometown of Los Angeles, and this is a better haircut than I have received in even high end salons. Brad is truly a great stylist who listens to what you are looking for and doesn't disappoint! Got so many compliments on my hair after going here--definitely try this place out!! read more

Thank you so much for changing my hair color back to its natural color. I love it - Awesome!! Also it was nice not to have people running around me while I was having my hair done, like at other salons. You have a nice comfy little salon!! I will definitely be seeing you in a few weeks!! read more

TRiMM Salon Color Bar - TRiMM - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Trimm Salon is the best salon in Santa Barbara! Kudos to Brad for being the best in color in the Santa Barbara Area!

So... ima make this very short and simple just got a haircut from this place, thought I would check it out because of the great reviews of yelp.. worst haircut of my life.. it seemed like the hair stylist had no idea what she was doing. My hair is completely uneven. So bad I actually felt like crying and I am a 20 year old guy. I went to a different barber shop later that day so they could shave my head. Maybe they cut women's hair really nice but guys do not come here unless you want people laughing at your haircut. read more

Such a wonderful experience here with Nolan. I have thick and unruly hair that I'm always afraid to get cut because of so many poor past experiences. Nolan was fantastic about explaining everything he was doing and addressed what I had wanted and been concerned about perfectly. Loads of fun to chat with during the cut, and did a really phenomenal job (was complimented on it constantly!) Highly highly recommend this place, and to top it all off, the prices are totally reasonable! read more
