Nellie gave my husband a great haircut. She is a fantastic stylist. Thank you, Nellie.

This is a gem of a local beauty salon! Scheduling was very easy - all we had to do was make a single phone call to schedule. Parking is plentiful, and the entrance to the shop is right around the corner from customer parking. The owner, Anna Nellie, was lovely, and her shop is adorable. My daughter was really excited about her Brazilian blowout, and Anna did a really lovely job with it. By the end of her appointment, her hair was smooth and straight and beautiful! And it felt so soft. She was very happy with her results. We can't wait to see how long it holds up! read more

AMAZING TRANSFORMATION! Thank you Nellie! Please note that the before picture is from a different stylist NOT Nellie, I came to Nellie to fix my hair nightmare, Nellie was kind, understanding and went above & beyond to tone my hair the color that I wanted to achieve. I also had a hair cut and a Keratin treatment that will keep my hair frizz-free for months! Book with Nellie she will make your hair goals a reality! read more

Not a fan. Was there to try a new spa/salon. Interesting location. Inside was a bit of a mess. Maybe they were having a bad day, I didnt experience the friendly man or the wonderful person doing the service. I had a Groupon for foot reflexology. Well, that's not what I got. Clearly just sizing me up for future services while kinda rubbing my feet. While the dogs wander around. Now if I could get the constant Groupon adds to stop showing me them, since Im definitely not returning for full price or a deal read more

I got the best haircut in my life by Nellie. My hair is hard to manage and she did a fantastic job! Highly recommend! read more

I should the owner who is the hair stylist a picture how I wanted my hair cut and she cut it like a butch hair cut. I did go with a Voucher May that's why she did a losing hair cut with a razed I don't like razor haircuts. I like sissor hair cu read more

Nellie does a wonderful facial! The quiet atmosphere & great location of her salon make it very conducive to a perfectly relaxing experience. Looking forward to going again read more

My father bought me $100 gift card to receive a massage from this place. There is no expiration date on the gift certificate and it's signed by the owner Nelly Ayala ...I called to make an appointment and she told me she would not honor it due to a change of location.. (her new location is still in Oxnard literally down the street from her old location). I kind of went back-and-forth with her because that's not right. I still have a gift certificate. My father still paid $100... which I'm sure she already spent....She should honor her clients when she takes money from them prior to the service...doesn't matter how old it is if there's no expiration date on it !!! I could understand if she wrote an expiration date on it but again there's no expiration date . And she signed it herself. Just because you moved from one building to another building doesn't mean you don't complete your services. this is completely unprofessional I will never recommend this place!!! After I was explaining to her there is no expiration date written on the gift certificate she then hung up on me. Do not go to this place obviously Nelly Ayala THE OWNER is a thief and unprofessional !!!! And if you go to her website you can also read other reviews that have similar stories. I attached a picture of the gift certificate that I received. I covered up my last names you can see that there is no expiration date on there and signed by the owner Nelly Ayala.. she tried to play dumb and say she doesn't know who signed the certificate. Well, clearly you can see it was signed by Nelly Ayala, who is the owner of this business. Just because you move from point A to point B does not mean you take someone's money and don't provide your service. NELLY I hope karma bites you in the ass!! read more

You can't go wrong at this little boutique day spa. Nellie is a professional and master color hairstylist. Her haircuts are also great. Other services she provides eyelash extensions, permanent makeup, micro blading, and facials. Great to support a local small business (and woman owned business). read more

I received a gift certificate for Mother's Day about 7 years ago for $125 massage. I finally have time to use it since I'm not working right now because I had another baby. Looked forward to practicing some self-care and to treat myself during my free time, as I'm on maternity leave, is important to me. I explained to them my situation and sadly, they would not honor my gift certificate. I was really looking forward to getting a much needed massage, please note that their gift certificates expire. There is no expiration date noted, but they do not accept them whenever they seem fit. read more

Bella Mar Day Spa and Salon - An official gift certificate issued by this company, but they would not honor it. They told me it's been too long :( - Hair Salons Near Me - Oxnard, California

My haircut looks great. That's about where it ends - my highlights are chunky and not close to my root, she didn't tone them at all, and the whole experience was rude and uninviting. She didn't speak more than 5 words to me the entire time and rushed through everything as quickly as she could. I also had to wait an extra 30 upon arrival - which is fine, but she didn't even acknowledge it. I didn't say anything and I should have, but I didn't realize the extent of it until later. Altogether wouldn't go back. read more

I went to have Nellie do a Brazilian Blowout for me. I have had this done multiple times over the years. Instead of a smooth and silky result, my hair was completely frizzy and had some permanent weird waves in it that I was unable to smooth. When I reported this to Nellie she said she'd check with the product company. No offer to make this right, and when I asked for a refund she ghosted me. I do have photos to document. read more

Nellie did an AMAZING job!!! I have crazy thick hair that people often struggle with but she had no issues giving me such a great cut!!! I'm from out of town so, unfortunately, won't be able to use her as my regular salon BUT I'd for sure visit again if I'm back in the area!! She had great music going, an adorable, sweet little doggie, and the salon had a beautiful view, plus all these cool items she had for sale in her shop! Nellie was so kind and even asked if I wanted any more taken off when she was done, which I did, and she was more than happy to go over it again and add layers!!! 5 stars all the way!!! read more

DO NOT GET YOUR LASHES DONE came here about a week ago to have lash extensions done. I called to confirm that they were a good material of lash. So I proceeded. Upon leaving Bella Mar I noticed that they felt oddly rough and hard (I've had extensions for about a year now so I know the norm). I went home and washed and brushed them, only to find they didn't soften at all and stayed looking very unnatural. I was cooking this evening and opened my oven which was on VERY LOW HEAT ONLY TO FIND THAT IT CAUSED MY LASHES TO FRINGE AND FRAY AND BASICALLY MELT. Absolutely horrified in knowing that this whole time there was PLASTIC lashes on my eyes. MY EYES are SEVERELY irritated. I would definitely not recommend this place as a 250 degree oven melted and frayed my lashes just from grabbing something out. Many of them have fallen out as I just tried to brush them hoping they'd straighten ou After going in and speaking with the woman (Nellie) that did my lashes, she offered to compensate me a facial to make up for my horrible experience. Still would not recommend getting lashes done from here, but she did do her best to make it right. read more

My wife and I purchased a 60-minute massage and a 60-minute massage and facial, then scheduled them both for the same time We get there after several calls for directions (not helpful) and finally find it with its tiny sign in the window. We arrive and are the only ones there, yet they aren't ready and think we're going to do them one after the other, instead of at the same time. We then see that they have only one spa room with two massage tables with about a foot between them. There's clearly not room for the two of us plus the two massage therapists to be in there! Then they tell me the massage/facial was actually a facial and foot reflexology, which it clearly was not per the Groupon description. They say they'll make it work, but it's clear to us that this won't be a pleasant experience all crowded in there. Besides, they're the only two people working there. Who's going to run the store while they're treating us? Given all this, the vibe was not good and we cancelled and requested a refund. They told us that they redeemed our Groupons as soon as we walked in the door! So after communicating with Groupon the best they could offer was a refund in "Groupon bucks". Great, now I have to find something else worthwhile in Groupon, after this disaster. Needless to say, we don't recommend them. Maybe if it's for one person, it might be ok, but they're not equipped to do what they agreed to. read more

Cut my hair just like it should be - she knew all its quirks!!! Loved my color and the best part was loving on Miss. Bella loved her pink ears! Thanks Nellie I'll see you soon!!! read more

I had made an appointment to get my hair done for a special event. After driving 30 mins for my appointment, the stylist/owner informed me that once she was done with her current client, she still had another client which would take 45 mins, before she could see me. She had no idea what services I was getting either even though I had made an appointment and told her the services I wanted. Very unprofessional and inconsiderate. Would not recommend, and will not be going back. read more

Nellie was nice, but I felt like she was rushing through the highlight /haircut I purchased from Groupon. Also extra charge of $25 for adding some low lights. Was still going to try again, but they would not honor my Groupon if you are not a new customer. So instead of $47 it was going to be $120 before tip. Also, low lights washed out in a week. Lots of "up-selling) to increase total purchase. read more

Nellie, the proprietor, exudes warmth and immediately puts you at ease. She excels at attentive listening and effortlessly brings your desired style to life. The salon offers a tranquil atmosphere, ensuring swift yet satisfying service. Highly recommended. read more

My microblading experience with Nellie was great. A little bit of pain at the being of the process but the end result was worth it. It's important that you patiently wait 2 weeks before returning for a touch-up. I'm very happy with my brows. Thanks Nellie and Bella for making me feel comfortable. read more

Wow Nellie is great. Excellent stylist, best color,cut and style. I will be coming here from now on. Reasonable and she does it all.

So happy I foundBella Mar Day spa salon! After dealing with frizzy and unmanageable hair my entire life I found relief! Best hair ever by Nellie, the owner of Bella Mar Day Spa salon. My hair is amazing. It's been nearly a month since I had a Brazilian blowout treatment.... no more frizz no more split ends... No more flat iron to straighten my hair every day. I wake up with perfect hair every day. It's amazing. I've had so many compliments even from complete strangers. I wish I found the salon years ago, best hair everNellie you rock read more

Nelly and staff are awesome...warm, friendly and fun. My haircuts are wonderful. Every time I come here, I feel good.

I was pretty nervous coming to a new salon after having such a rough highlight experience at another place...Nellie did an AMAZING job on my hair and was able to get a really good idea of what I wanted for both cut and color after less than 5 minutes of chatting about my vision. My hair is very long and Nellie was able to complete my cut, deep conditioning and full highlights with toner in 90 minutes flat. That's less than half of the time I've spent in a chair with less experienced stylists! Will 100% be back. Thank you Nellie and Shane for your help! read more
