I had such a wonderful experience. I was thankful that Haven Salon was able to take my mother, sister and myself on such short notice for my elopement wedding. We had such a fun experience being able to do our makeup and hair the day of my wedding together. The salon is located right next to a lovely cafe with great food too! Our hair and makeup came out so nice. Thank you to the entire staff, especially Brian and Cindy, for making my day special and for being so accommodating. Thank you! read more

I always love my hair after Lety does it. She is very talented and my cuts and color are always exactly what I wanted. Thank you Lety!!

Haven also have a lot of young very talented people if you are looking for an edgy look/ Love it and the atmosphere in there in too. read more

I got my hair done there with Beatrice and I ended up with the hair color I never asked for and my shirt bleached. I recommend going with Tanya she fixed my hair and is the most sweetest person out there. read more

Had average blow dry for 65$.I used to get my hair done by Dyson and I thought this place located in Montecito had high standards.Lol, was disappointing,because I didn't really like how my hair looks after that. read more

Had another wonderful visit at Haven Salon today. Cindy Brokaw is a master colorist and always makes me look good and feel good. Highly recommend her and her team. read more

I started going to this salon about a year ago. I wish I had gone earlier because my hair was a mess. It was damaged, full of split ends, and thinned out from a horrible hair dyeing experience. I did not feel confident at all until I met Celeste. She has done wonders with my hair and the difference is noticeable in thickness and texture and my hair finally looks healthy again. Trust me when I say I am the pickiest person ever, and I am telling you ...Go to her! You won't regret it! I finally feel confident in myself again and am so appreciative of my experience. read more

Thank you for making my night so much more special. My updo and make up were amazing and I'm grateful for your kindness. Everyone on the staff made this nervous lady feel very special. read more

I came in wanting a perm because I've always admired the natural curly looking hair. I was helped by Cindy and could not have had a better experience! She was kind, informative, and honest. She listened to what I wanted, and I walked out after my perm appointment with the boss test smile on my lips because I loved my new hair. She took the time to explain the process to me, and made sure I understood why she did certain things so that it would match my vision for natural looking curls. Would highly recommend! read more

Kudos to Chantal who is an amazing colorist and beautiful person. Her work is SIMPLY SUPERB! So happy to have discovered such a great salon and primo stylist. Chantal is nothing short of phenomenal. read more

I went here and had my hair trimmed washed and styled, I was beyond satisfied. Everyone here is so sweet, the owner was very welcoming, and Leddy who did my hair did an EXCELLENT job. I will absolutely be going back! read more

Beyond!!! I actually showed up a day early. And I definitely did not expect them to take me. It was my mistake. But they did and she could of not been kinder. I would 100% recommend and go back myself when in the area. read more

We were at Santa Barbara and my son got the best hair cut! They were very nice and the salon is in a great area.

Tanya is amazing! I had never been to this salon before,, just found it on Yelp. She gave me a blow dry and style for a wedding I was attending. Best one ever! My hair looked amazing and was exactly what I asked for!! She did a blow dry, flat iron and put in some light waves at the end. She is really good!! read more

We all know your hair stylist is one of the most important persons in your life. You literally trust them with your life and happiness Hair is no joke and finding a good fit is vital. So I'm an LA native and though I've lived in Santa Barbara for over 12 years, it was just this December that I realized the trek to LA for my hair upkeep was just not manageable. So after hours of research and referrals, Celeste at Haven Salon was who I decided to trust my locks with, after spending twenty years with my previous hair stylist. Haven Salon is such a sweet spot. The owner is wonderful and inviting and they have water and snacks and you feel like a part of family. Celeste is one of the hair stylists that is young, super helpful and checked in each part of the process to make sure I was happy and comfortable. Best experience ever! I've been back twice and feel like I've finally found my go to hair guru in SB! read more

I have limp, fine hair with plenty of gray. It was a mess! Lety Lemus found the perfect color for me. Then she cut and styled my hair so that it looks full and suits me. She was so friendly, too. The salon is open with good air flow. I highly recommend Haven Salon, and Lety Lemus in particular! read more

Great service and amazing results! Saw Jessica for a full highlight and I am in love with the results. Overall amazing experience!

So, so glad I decided to get my first real haircut (aside from two little trims) for the first time in two years here. Celeste was amazing from start to finish and I left feeling so happy with my hair. I came in with a general style idea and she was so kind, knowledgeable, and informative about what would work best with my hair type and how to adjust. Looking forward to going back for a trim in a few months. read more

I had a great experience at Haven. Tanya did a fabulous job coloring and cutting my hair. Thanks.

Lety did an amazing job coloring my hair. It was my first time doing anything like that with my hair, but she was helpful going over examples beforehand to get an idea of exactly what I wanted. I was very happy with the results and will definitely be coming back! read more

What an incredible experience I had today at this salon. Thank you for helping me transform into my most beautiful self. I look forward to continuing elevation. read more

A wonderful, relaxing highly professional salon. I will definitely return tho I'm a "newcomer" at HAVEN . CHRISTINE was great..followed guidelines to a tee while making me feel totally comfortable. And my roots color has been better than other places I've gone to. read more

Cindy does a terrific job with both cut and color and has been excellent at translating my vision into reality--with some gentle suggestions along the way :). The salon carefully follows covid safety guidelines, so it feels very safe. read more

I'm leaving this on behalf of my best friend who I know is too sweet to leave this review. She called the salon needing help with a root touch up, and "Lety" told her she 100% had time today and to come on in. The moment she got in, my friend had told her that she wanted to go into the hair salon bc she herself was tired of doing it on her own because she didn't know what she was doing. She made that very clear to Lety, and this woman took advantage of Marilyn and took the easy way out to do her hair. She used 30 developer and applied it directly onto her scalp 2 times despite Marilyn telling her over and over again that her scalp and hair was FRAGILE. No foils or any kind of protection. She begged Lety to take it out bc it BURNING her and her response was "beauty is pain". So of course everything was patchy and orange. Instead of finishing the job with lower developer, she said she never had time for this appointment in the first place and kicked her out. What kind of licensed "hairstylist" thinks a bleaching to platinum is only going to take 2 hours? Later on I found out she was INCREDIBLY rude to Marilyn throughout the appointment and I didn't hear it bc I sat at the other end of the room. My best friends scalp is COVERED in blisters. COVERED, and she's been in pain ever since. I feel terrible leaving this review bc every single other person there was incredibly sweet and I'd trust them. However do NOT use Lety, I should have told Marilyn to walk right back out the door the moment I saw what LETY'S hair looked like. The blisters are so bad it's genuinely lawsuit worthy. The way Lety behaved was was appalling to me, which is crazy considering she's at least 30 years older than I am. It was a worse job than Marilyn had ever done at home, and I wished I realized the extent of it before we left. I think most people would hand Lety's ass to her after that experience. Looking at the other reviews, Cindy is far more talented so stick to her. read more

Cindy works magic with my thin hair. I've been coming to her for years and I have given her absolute autonomy over my hair. She never disappoints and I get lots of compliments. Can't recommend her enough! read more

I get to go there today! I've been going to Haven Salon and Cindy for a few months now and I am so pleased. The color she uses looks great, is gentle, and the cut makes me feel pretty. I enjoy my time there and I would have my hair done every day if I could. Cindy uses gentle styling techniques such as finger combing and shows me how to get the same style at home. Thank you, Cindy! read more

I went to Haven salon to get a hair cut and full highlights last week. Their website stated that these services would cost $270, and as a college student, this was my maximum budget. I made an appointment for these two services but when I was checking out after my hair was done, I was shocked when I was being charged $390 without tip! I was appalled. She had done a $120 toner to my hair without consulting me first. There was no point during my visit where she had told me (or asked) she was doing this to my hair, yet charged me an EXTRA $120 for my visit. When asking for my money back, I was offended when my hair stylist, Beatrice, blatantly lied to the owner about having a "consultation" (I had never had a consultation) where she had "told me" she would have to do a toner to my hair. In addition, she had lied about needing to do highlights for 5 inches of hair growth, when during my visit she explicitly stated she was working with 2 inches. I was never given my money back, and I feel robbed. DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SCAMMED!!!!! read more

This Salon is outstanding! Our family recently visited the area and I needed to get my three teenagers cuts. I also needed to get a highlight and haircut. Very risky to adventure to a new salon for this much. I did some research and found Haven. I called the week we were arriving feeling that it was probable they would not be able to accommodate all of us for the upcoming weekend. Brian could not have been nicer and more accommodating. He listened to my needs set up the appointments and followed up with a text with directions and a beautiful lunch spot recommendation as well. We left our appointments with 4 beautiful haircuts and 2 of us received highlights. My husband said it is the best my hair has looked in years! My girls saw Tanya and I saw Cindy the owner. My son also had his haircut by Cindy. We live in San Diego and will make this an annual event to get our "back to school" haircuts because they are truly that good! read more

We came as a bridal party and the salon staff was wonderful. We had a great time, quality hair and makeup, and would recommend it to any large group. Thanks for a fantastic morning celebrating the bride! read more

Nothing but great experiences here! I have been coming here since they opened due to a recommendation, and I have never had such beautiful hair until Haven Salon started taking care of me. All of the experiences that I have here are spectacular, and they always nail the look that I'm going for without any problems. read more

I gave my wife a gift certificate for Christmas with Cindy the owner. All I can say is Wow!!! She looks 10 yrs. younger great job Cindy! I also go there for my hair cut. I've been seeing Shantal for several months the best cut I've ever had! Today I asked her if she could trim my goatee I walked in and she took care of me right away! She's also a great barber and loves doing it no frills unless you want it. Great job SHANTAL!!! Check her out if you want a shave and a hair cut very reasonable also. read more

Cindy at Haven Salon is hands down the best colourist in Santa Barbara. The salon is beautiful, with nice treats to eat, coffee, tea and a wonderful staff who cater to your every need. All the stylists are amazing and very talented. They listen to you! I would not venture into any other salon--non can match this wonderfully talented and friendly place. read more

This salon is absolutely wonderful! I went to Stacy Wallace for a full weave and cut and I have NEVER been so happy with my hair!! She brought my blonde from dull and brassy to warm and vibrant - and it's actually shiny and soft for the first time ever. I hate streaky/stripey blonde weaves but she made mine look so natural just like I was hoping for!She is an incredibly talented color specialist and I could not recommend her more. She also gave my hair the most perfect cut, it actually has style now and feels thick and healthy. Not to mention she is so sweet and fun to talk to. I have received so many compliments on my hair since. Leaving the salon I felt beautiful, thank you Stacy!! read more
