We stopped in and moisturized + my friend purchased several bottles of fragrance and bath bombs for our group to feast on during our trip. The salon is in the back hidden from the street and regular shoppers, which I appreciate because the fewer people who see me with wet slicked back hair, the better.

I was introduced to stylist Denise Heller two years ago by a mutual friend. I was visiting Ojai…read morefrom San Francisco and was desperate for a cut and color. I absolutely loved what she did then so, when I returned over this Fourth of July week Denise was able to book me for a cut, color and brow shaping. She usually books up 2 to 3 weeks in advance but because of the holiday, and the shift in scheduling, she was able to fit me in. So grateful! Denise is gifted and can look at a person and tell them exactly what's needed to make them look their best. I decided to trust her because my hair had grown really long and she knew I wanted to keep the length. She did some beautiful framing around the face and used product that gave my hair a really high shine. I couldn't be happier. She also taught me how to blow dry properly and how to use teasing and a roller to give my hair some volume because it's very thin. She also had time to shape my brows properly. Not only that she's a great person to have "girl talk" with! I highly recommend her and the staff at Glo West. You Ojai locals are so lucky to have her. Update 7/6/2018: A reviewer below insinuated that I was solicited to write a positive review. This is not true. Businesses ask clients to "yelp" them all the time. My experience at Glo West was positive in 2016 and again on my return visit this past week. I took the time to write the review because I was very happy with how my hair and brows turned out. Kudos to Denise, who used to manage the coifs of the Hollywood set, and knows how to make a person look their best.

My hair was severely damaged from neglect and the hard water in Ojai I've been washing my hair with for two years. She was confident and efficient and within two hours she answers all of my questions, washed, dyed, cut and blow dried my hair. She highly recommends OLAPLEX and uses it at her salon, I've ordered their shampoo and conditioner and hopefully will be able to maintain healthy hair until I see her next. Such a well rounded hairdresser and business owner is highly sought after and so be prepared to adjust your schedule to assure an appointment. Additionally, higher prices should be expected considering her expertise and products. Ultimately, if you are desperately looking for a trustworthy and professional salon to personalize their services to your hair needs and type like I was, I cannot recommend Proper Beauty enough.

I also got a consultation for extensions that I asked about for an upcoming event and feel confident about purchasing the ones she recommended. Nicole is such a pro who very obviously loves her job and to make sure you end up with exactly what you envisioned - in fact I couldn't have imagined my hair looking this great, so she exceeded my expectations. (Now I won't have to think about letting my hair go gray for a long time!) Nicole pampered me and ended up spending way more time with me than was originally scheduled, which I appreciated. I really enjoyed her company and will be her client forever. I'm thrilled I went with the recommendations I have found here and am sure you will be too. (Photo taken next day, having slept on it)

I've been a loyal client of this salon and of Jen for nearly eight years, always receiving…read moreconsistent results and trusting her fully with my hair. Unfortunately, my most recent appointment in September was one of the most upsetting experiences I've ever had with a professional, and I feel it's important to share what happened so others know what to expect. I came in for the same highlight service I've received for years, right before an important weekend of extended family photos. For the first time, something went very wrong: my natural base color-- which has never been touched in eight years-- was visibly lifted. My hair looked washed out, too warm, and completely unlike every result I had ever had from her. I sent photos immediately, and she agreed at first that the highlights didn't lift correctly. She offered to come in on her day off, which I appreciated, but the correction did not fix the problem. Instead, I was told that the issue was because my hair "wasn't clean enough," and she strongly defended her brand-new assistant, even though the only difference between this appointment and every previous one was that the assistant applied the toner. I raised my concerns respectfully, but was met with dismissal, defensiveness, and comments that felt extremely invalidating and gaslighting-- including being told that maybe my emotional life was the reason I didn't like my color. This was particularly hurtful, because what I was seeing in the mirror was very real. She eventually issued a refund, but never apologized for the mistake, never took responsibility, and--most disappointing--never once attempted to fix it or reach back out to make it right. I reached out again with kindness, clarity, and photos, explaining exactly what was still wrong with the color. She never responded. It has now been two months with no follow-up whatsoever. Because of the result, my family photos that weekend were ruined for me. I have spent months feeling unlike myself due to the dramatic change to my natural base color. A highly reputable stylist in a nearby town reviewed my before-and-after photos and confirmed that what happened was not my fault, that the base was clearly lifted, and that the way the situation was handled was unprofessional and disappointing--especially given my eight-year loyalty. Thankfully, this new stylist is now helping me correct the damage over a series of appointments to return my hair to the natural, flattering color I used to have. It genuinely saddens me to write this review. I valued the years of trust I had here and I had hoped for accountability, a sincere apology, or even a simple willingness to help me correct the issue. None of that happened. I'm sharing this so others know that if something goes wrong, you may not receive the honesty, care, or responsibility you would expect from a professional. My hope is that no other long-term client has to experience the same level of dismissal or emotional distress I went through. If the owner ever chooses to reach out and sincerely make this right, I would be glad to acknowledge that. But as of today, two months later, that has still not happened-- and that is the most disappointing part of all.
