Denise Heller is a hair genius.     Hair Styling
Tallulah B.

Denise Heller is a hair genius. I went in specifically requesting someone skilled in cutting fine, straight hair. Only 2 out of 5 hairdressers I saw knew how to cut my hair and the last haircut was a sad, confusing looking botch job. Densie not only transformed the cut into a sleek, pixie do but she replaced all the color I lost from both haircuts. She knew exactly what I wanted without me explaining it to her. One of the best hairdos I've ever had !

Just back from a trip with my sister to Ojai. I walked into Glo West thinking I might try a new stylist for a fresh cut while in town. Lucky us, (my sister decided on getting a cut as well), we met Denise. She was so kind to fit us both in the following evening, staying late to give us the royal treatment. I asked her to evaluate a better shape cut for my face and I absolutely love what she created. My sister was equally thrilled, but since this is my yelp review, I thought it best to just show my pics. Sister's looks just as amazing. Loved Denise's confidence, candor, kindness and great professional attitude. She was so patient and took all the time needed, even after regular hours. Could not be more pleased!!

Hello everyone, my name is Lizzeth and I just had the most amazing experience in my 20 years of life ! Thanks to the beautiful Nicolette Doolittle!! She did such an amazing job with my hair and I can't stop smiling! I can't explain how happy I am with the way my hair turned out ! It was my first time here and it will definitely not be my last!! THE BEST SALON IN THE 805!

S U M M A R Y: Love Glo West! Upon visiting beautiful Ojai for a wedding, I needed a salon that could give me a blowout. Glo West, formerly known as the popular Busy Babes, did an excellent job! Although the salon has new owners an apparently some changes, it appears some of the previous employees have remained the same. The lovely Stephanie gave me the most beautiful curls, and I enjoyed showing them off later in the night! S E R V I C E S: Styling, hair cuts, deep condition/scalp treatments, gloss treatment, coloring, keratin smoothing, Brazilian blowout, extensions, facials, tanning, waxing, brow/lash tint, lash application/extensions, flash tattoos, full makeup applications, manicures (including gels), pedicures, and more. C O S T: Blowout: $40 + $15 for curls (Disclaimer: I was told over the phone that prices range depending on the stylist) S T O R E: Another perk to this amazing salon is that the store literally has all the top notch products for women and men. Hair, skin, cosmetics, body, bath, fragrance, tools, candles, gifts, etc. The selection was impressive. Some of the items can be found on the official website. N E G A T I V E S: Minus one star since they overbooked appointments, and my mom needed to find a new salon at the last minute. This was not only inconvenient, but the reception confirmed the appointment the previous night.

Valentines Day toes!

Love this salon, and Jessenia is the best!! Everyone here is nice, the salon is set up very efficiently and the retail space is cool.

Before and After (The after hair by Denise)
Cecily H.

I had Denise do my hair last weekend and have nothing but amazing things to say! I had very long, neutral blonde hair (super unhealthy) and went to a short bob with blonde balayage. I had a couple of salon nightmares last year (that involved my hair turning yellowish red rather than blonde), so I was a little nervous to go back to a salon for such a dramatic change. I showed Denise some pictures of what I wanted, and she nailed it to the T! She ended up doing balayage blonde that blended perfectly--my hair grows fast and my roots are dark so this was the perfect solution. She really took her time and listened to me, my needs, and what I wanted. From the moment she started cutting, I could tell she was a pro! Go see Denise---you won't regret it!

My ceremony updo by Stephanie!
Marianne S.

I called the week before our re-commitment ceremony and was able to get an appointment with Stephanie. We ended up running late due to having breakfast at Bonnie Lu's (YUM!) just a few doors down, and they were very gracious. Stephanie was just lovely, and took my giant mop of hair and made me look like a princess. (There will be a pic of the back of my head uploaded to this vendor's account!) My friend's daughter was there talking up a storm, asking lots of questions, and Stephanie was patient and so pleasant the whole time :) I wish we lived closer (we're up in San Francisco) so I could come in more often! This store is a complete beauty supply with everything you need and more.

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.

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.
