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.

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.

Tatiana's work is truly terrific, unique, creative and beautiful! I was desperately searching for a stylist that would understand my wish for a unique bridal headgear styling, like a whole messy braid/updo with flowers situation... and believe me, after talking to a few stylists I cannot overstate how grateful I am for Tatiana as she is literally one of a kind. She was recommended to me by my formidable photographer Michelle (of Rad & In Love) - and what can I say, this was just the perfect testimonial! For our first trial session I brought some vague ideas and Tatiana instantly got my style and essence. She really took the time to create several diverse and unique braid styles, personalized to what I had in my mind and every time I looked at the final result I was just stunned! I was really happy for a second session to decide amongst my multiple favorite options. Trial sessions took place in Tatiana's wonderful and sunlit Santa Monica study where I instantly felt pleasant and relaxed. For the final styling session on my wedding day Tatiana came to my home and in a very professional and relaxed manner she dealt with all the chaos and thrills of a bunch of wild and excited girlfriends. All in all, I highly appreciate her skillful and expert way - I was so in love with her hair & make-up styling, it just made my wedding bliss even more perfect. Thank you so much, Tatiana! read more

After doing a considerable amount of research for hair and make up artists for my wedding I finally decided to go with Braid and Makeup Studio. This was my very first time getting my hair and makeup done by a professional and I am extremely grateful to have found Tatiana.

She answered all of my questions and was very attentive, patient and professional throughout the whole 'getting ready' process. My hair and makeup looked AMAZING and I received a ton of compliments! Thank you Tatiana for making me look and feel like a princess on my very special day! I highly, highly recommend Tatiana for all of your hair and makeup needs! read more

I was extremely happy with Tatiana's work and talent. I went to her for hair and make-up for my photo shoot. I'm always hesitant working with make-up artists because being Indian, not all artists know how to blend color and make-up well and she did a marvelous job. I love how she continually asked if I was comfortable with the colors and hair. Some make-up artists feel offended if you comment on their approach and she is totally not like that. She wants her clients to get the exact look they want. I would go to Tatiana again the next time I need my hair and make-up done. read more

Rachel was so sweet and fun to talk with -- she instantly put me at ease. She did both my hair and makeup exactly how I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself. I have fine, thinning hair, and she did such a beautiful job styling it -- it looked full, soft, and romantic. My makeup held up perfectly through the entire ceremony (even though I cried a lot!), and everything photographed so well. I can't recommend Rachel enough to any bride looking for someone who's talented, kind, and truly cares about making you feel your best on your special day.

Since I am in town, I made a special effort to go see her today. If you are looking for a talented and wonderful cosmetologist, look no further! Teresa is such a kind person and really listens to her clients. Her prices are very reasonable as well. The salon is very clean and has a comfortable waiting area. The chairs that you sit in to have your hair shampooing are the most comfortable I have ever seen at any salon.
