Really lovely environment with great stylists! They were also really quick with my root touch-up and haircut

TERRIBLE WORK The owner didn't even stand behind her work when I wasn't happy with it , she kicked me and my mom out with a rude attitude and mannerisms and , tried to charge me more when she didn't give me what I asked for. If she was more respectful and responsible for my hair not being what I originally asked for I wouldn't be writing this review read more

This salon was able to accommodate my last minute elopement in less then a week. I was greeted with a smile and a delicious coffee. Everyone was very nice and they were able to capture the exact look I was hoping for. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for hair and makeup at a reasonable price. read more

It was my first time visiting this salon, and not only did I get a day-of appointment, Jasmine made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She did an AMAZING job on my blunt bob cut- her attention to detail is out of this world. I'll definitely go back! read more

Sorry, no. I'm looking for a new stylist, so I booked on the site, but I had the wrong date. I booked a lengthy weave and highlight thing for 3.5 hours, costing $300. When I got there and learned I had the wrong date and the wrong person, I met with a lovely hair stylist, and we decided I just needed a root color and pull through to the ends - no toner, no weave. I was there for 1 hour maximum. They still charged me $300, and when I contacted Cindy, the manager, she said the stylist had told me I had gotten a weave and had even checked the cameras and more services. No, I didn't. The site costs shows that my services should have been about $150. I was hoping for a small return because 1 color, 1 hour really is not a $300 level. I was the only one in the salon which is never a good sign. Super bummed by this interaction. read more

Haven Salon is pure magic! BettyJean is a color genius--my hair has never looked this vibrant and healthy. The staff is genuinely warm and attentive. The complimentary coffee with cinnamon is the perfect cozy touch. 10/10 read more

Have to leave a review for Amber, she's amazing! She squeezed me in last minute and did such an amazing job. I had previously dyed red hair from a permanent dye and I went in for a gloss to see about boosting the health and vibrance. My hair is softer, healthier, and there's so much fun dimensions of color between daytime out in the sun, inside, and nighttime. It's a really beautiful color! Thank you Amber! read more

I'm forever indebted to Nancy for blessing me with an iconic perm that's allowing me to live out the best version of my 80's childhood perm dreams. Never permed before, was a tad paranoid and Nancy was patient and collaborative with me, taking time before we started to talk through all my questions and concerns. And the results are beyond... I told her upon seeing the results, I'll go to my grave with permed hair, it'll never be straight again! read more

I just had to leave a review for Beatrice. I'm from out of town and was so lucky to get a last minute appointment before my birthday :) Beatrice was so amazing from start to finish, I told her my concerns with how dead my hair felt and how I wanted my color revived. She gave me her suggestions and saw through my worry (with color) and reassured me I would love the end result and she was not wrong I'm so blown away by her work. The salon itself is absolutely fabulous, I felt so comfortable and the owner Brian greets everyone with so much hospitality it was amazing. I had a Brazilian blowout and some color gloss all over treatment. I just wanted to say thank you so so much, I'm beyond happy. read more

100/10 This is my all time favorite place. It's located in a cutesy part of town next to a cafe. Lety is amazing and is the only stylist I've seen here. They have comfortable seating at all stations which I love when I get a wash done. They also offer refreshments upon arrival. Very sweet and local salon. Would recommend. The price was higher than my budget but for the quality and customer service I just kept coming back to see Lety! I recently moved out of town but if I ever visit I'll get on their books! read more

The vibe of this salon is amazing and all of the worker are so sweet and welcoming. I have really long and thick brunette hair, and I typically have a hard time finding someone to trust enough to cut my hair. Ingrid has quickly become the only person I trust with my hair. She is seriously so talented with her work! I can show her a photo of what I want or even describe the look I'm going for and she never fails to make my hair look fabulous. She is super sweet, never cuts off more than I want, and always asks if I'm happy with how my hair looks throughout my haircut process. She recently has started adding tinsel extensions to my hair and it is literally my newest obsession. The quality of the work done here is amazing, so if you are looking for a super welcoming salon with amazing stylists, then you should definitely check out this salon!! (: read more

Wonderful service . Friendly receptionist . Smiling faces . My aunt loved her hair thank you

Nancy has been doing my extensions for the last 18 months and I couldn't love my hair more. They blend perfectly and no one knows I have them! She is honest, thorough and simply the best when it comes to extensions. If you're interested in extensions at all definitely make an appointment with her! read more

When visiting my mom at a retirement community in Santa Barbara area, I called for a haircut appointment for my 91 yr old mom. Haven got her in right away and treated her like a queen! The stylist did a great job and the cost was competitive. read more

Hi, they're very nice people, though it's incredibly overpriced for the value of delivers. I asked for a. Color. And I was very disappointed to receive something quite different from what I had asked for I brought pictures. I had a conversation and they said they had everything need to succeed. But I'm left with slightly red hair too dark and a black beard which looks really weird. The haircut was very good. read more

Got a haircut from Ingrid! She is super friendly and my hair turned out great I love it I can't stop looking at myself. She did exactly what I wanted. (Mostly reshaping and curtain bangs) She also washed my hair which included a little head and neck massage and head scratches. I love a relaxing haircut. It was also super easy to make an appointment. The salon is very clean and the area is nice. Easy parking. read more

So sad to see that Beatrice was let go.... She's the best!! If you can't get ahold of her to book, like myself and others struggled to, her number is 805-721-6734 and she is NOT only in Ventura but is in SB. I really liked this salon and she was the best part. Was sad to hear about the disposability of employees. However, still grateful for how the salon treated me and allowed me to get my friends in for a booking! Haven salon is great to its clients. read more

Nancy saved my hair! I had a horrible haircut done somewhere else. The layers were choppy, it stuck up everywhere, it was uneven, and I had no idea what to do with it. I was in a panic. I reached out via Yelp and heard back almost immediately. They were able to squeeze me in last minute (within the hour) to try and fix it. I thought I'd have to start new and cut it all off, but she was able to soften everything and made it look so good! She was pleasant and easy to talk to, and the salon was very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place and won't go anywhere else now. read more

Ingrid is magical - I said it a few times when she was building an up 'do with my shoulder-length lob for the beach wedding I was attending later that afternoon. We talked through the limited options while trying to pile my short-ish hair as high as possible on my head. She worked MAGIC on my hair which was perfect for my dress, and added the sparkly headband I brought with me. I felt so pretty, it was perfect! read more

The best cuts and color north of Los Angeles by FAR! Lety and Cindy are amazing! Every time I have had a situation where I needed to unexpectedly travel or appear on a program, or speak at a conference Haven Salon has found a way to make sure that I not only get an appointment, but that I look fabulous every time I leave Heaven Salon! I have met so many wonderful people there. Brian is always grabbing me a coffee or helping me pick out products or making sure I am booked for my next appointment. They have become like family to me. Cindy is the Owner and she has the most integrity of anyone in the business! Thank you everyone at Haven Salon for being so wonderful to me. I get cut and color every time and couldn't be happier. Thank you Haven family! I love you! read more

I do not disagree that Lety is talented, however, in my opinion coloring and highlighting blonde is not her greatest asset. Yes, I used Madison Reeds root touch up to hold me over, but that shouldn't have had any impact on my highlights. I had a consultation with Lety and we agreed that it would take a few times to get my hair high lighted to the level I wanted. I can't remember exactly how many times I was in her chair, but it was many and in a relatively short period of time. And, as what my original post stated the results were NOT what we discussed. After the debacle, she took a picture of my hair and compared it to the picture I gave for reference and there was no comparison. My hair looked bluish purple - NOT what the picture portrayed. Also, I am not aware of ANY discount you are spoke of. read more

Beatrice. If you need color/highlighting/balayage. She is the best. I called in to get an appointment with a colorist-and somehow managed to score Beatrice. The detail work she did on my highlights, mixed with her precise sectioning and care, made me now a forever customer of hers She also walked me through pricing, and was straightforward on what she was doing the entire time. If you have long hair and are doing highlights-book an appointment for 3 hours or a little longer. She will take your hair and transform it into exactly what you want. Highly recommend this salon-and highly highly recommend Beatrice as the color specialist. read more

Shoutout to Nancy! As we all know it's hard to find a hairstylist who you can trust to deliver results that you love, but she gets it done. I have a hard time deciding what I want, but consulting with her made it easy to figure out the right color for me. I highly recommend her for coloring services. read more

wasn't pleased to have gold highlights put into ash hair. Oh well, have since found reliable honest colorist!

Incredibly happy with my haircut! Nancy was amazing! Thank you for taking me in last minute!

Absolutely the best salon in Santa Barbara. Cyndy is renowned as a colorist all over town but does not color my beautiful silver which I am very happy with but her cut is always just perfect. And the cuts look even better as they grow out. The pampering is great. Wonderful conversation when you want it, quiet comfortable and peaceful when you do not. I cannot recommend any more highly. Book early. Book now! read more

I highly recommend Haven Salon - they saved the day!!! After a horrific morning of my hairsylist standing me up on my wedding day (@ Salon Del Mar, Santa Barbara). "Haven Salon" was the first to reach out to me after franticly leaving voicemails to every hair studio in town. Pressed for time Beatrice was very accommodating and empathetic to my situation and was able to squeeze me into her busy schedule last minute. I showed a picture to Beatrice and she gave me exactly what I wanted for my special day. She felt really bad that she had to do it in a hurry but I was more grateful than ever. Beatrice is very professional and experienced, I will definitely come here again for sure. Although I don't live in the area, I will make a point to come visit. The salon itself is clean and pretty with a chill ambiance. Ken at front desk was super nice and friendly and even went out of his way to bring pastries for my sister and I from the cafe nextdoor. I Appreciate you! Thank you for making it happen! read more

I truly recommend this place Letty and Bryan are some of the nicest people I've interacted with. I had wavy/straight thinning hair so I decided to get a perm and my hair has so much volume now and curly I love it. I felt welcomed since the moment I stepped in the salon and was also given snacks. It was just such a great experience and Letty explained everything she was doing to my hair so well. Highly recommend. Go check this place out ! read more

I'm new to the area, hadn't found a salon yet so I decided to highlight my own hair. Huge mistake-think bright orange spots in the front and crown of hair and not pretty ones either. I was taken by the accommodating owners of Haven Salon. They arranged for me to meet with Nancy in a timely fashion. She was absolutely the most professional, caring (I was miserable) and well organized person I'd met in the industry. Right away formulated a plan. During my time with her I found she had worked with my daughter years back and we had no idea she was here now! My gratitude for my awesome color correction, hair styling and meeting my new hair stylist runs deep. Everyone at my meeting that evening complimented my hair! Nancy, thank you and many thanks to the owners for their quick response to my hair emergency! Easy parking, easy to find and absolutely gorgeous salon. Super professional, yet low key secret of Montecito. I'll be back! read more

First time at this Salon. I had a wonderful, relaxing, welcoming experience. Lety did my hair. She was very helpful, really listened to what I wanted, very professional. My hair looks amazing. I am so happy, I will definitely return. My favorite salon in town now. Highly recommended. read more

The absolute WORST customer service experience. We will NEVER step foot in this place again. My 16yo daughter booked an appt online for 12:30pm but she didn't realize travel time. She called to say she'd be late. We ended up getting there just right before 1pm. The stylist (who's not on their website but maybe her name is Beatrice?) says she doesn't have time for the highlights service requested. She could do half the head and return another time for the other half, or get a hair cut. Then after 30min washing my daughter's hair in the back, she said she has no time for the haircut but we are obligated to pay her $200 for the highlight service that we were late for. She called the owner who came out and harassed me for being late and that they don't have time for any services but they will charge me $200 since my daughter agreed and marked an x next to their online agreement form. They want to charge $200 without any services ??? Ludicrous. What kind of customer service is this? You get better at Super Cuts. As my daughter is sitting in the chair waiting for a hair cut I didn't want her to walk away without getting anything done. They finally agreed there is enough time for a hair cut. So even though a hair cut is $110 they charged me $200. next time I will record what this owner has to say. So very rude. I've since called my cc company. They have said I don't ever have to pay for services I did not get. They recommended disputing and placing a complaint with the bbb. update: 4/29/22 Yes I am the mother who was harangued by the male owner of this salon. You are right my daughter is 17 less than one week ago, not 16. I misspoke. And YOU were not there. So the book you've written to save your face is INCORRECT. We did not miss this appt. and made every possible effort to get there with SB traffic. Our daughter attends a local boarding school and she forgot how long it takes to get there with traffic. To tell me there is no time for a hair cut and I will still need to pay you $200 is robbery from an unconscionable business. I had to spend 10min convincing him there is enough time for a hair cut as my daughter is sitting inside the salon, in a chair with dripping wet hair, waiting for a hair cut. By this time, I had been there at least 1/2hr. I would have walked out then and there but for her I let them give her a hair cut. Shame on YOU. Doesn't seem like you know the primary tenet of any successful business is good customer service. Thank you YELP for providing a platform for consumer advocacy. Currently credit card company has a dispute with Haven Salon for charging for services not rendered, highlights not haircut. BBB review has been submitted. read more

Great atmosphere, Service and great People make this place a 5 Star... read more

I think a good hair dresser needs 2 basic qualities to achieve good haircuts. One is cutting skills, another is sense of aesthetic, and sometimes the latter is more important. Besides that, people in this field need to absorb new things everyday to meet all kinds of demands. Tenya was polite and nice, but I don't think she has seen more than I have, but I can't blame her, I was working for Vogue China and had many opportunities to be very close to ppl who are inspirational in this field. So when I said I want a " not too edgy " mullet, I was expecting she can also bring subtlety and elegance, " not too edgy " doesn't mean mediocre. But most of the time she was using a teeth thinning shears, which can not really produce " subtlety " or good layers. I suggest she practices more with real cutting scissors and learn more senior/fancy cutting skills, short haircut can really test a hair dresser, maybe that's how she learned from school, but again, in this field you really need to learn something new everyday. And when I got home, I noticed the 2 sides of the top area are not even.....so I don't know what to say, and it says on their website my haircut suppose be a $40 "haircut short", but she charged me $60 before tip without any explanation, or there's nothing says on their website that it's $1/1min....I'm confused. So after all I'm not happy about the result, but it's already done, so there's no way back. read more
