She is so sweet and personable and did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup! I had shown her a few references of some soft glam looks I wanted and she definitely delivered.

Weddings days can be super stressful and it's nice to be able to rely on someone to make you look your best on your special day. I felt right after home with Tatiana and can't recommend her enough!

I also got a consultation for extensions that I asked about for an upcoming event and feel confident about purchasing the ones she recommended. 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 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.

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.

Sometimes the makeup artist needing a few moments of no head movement to do things like eyeliner, and the hairstylist would ask the makeup artist to step back for before unleashing a big cloud of hairspray.

I have tried contacting them since and maybe received one response. Last night I received an automated email from a bankruptcy lawyer stating the business has "ceased all operations effective 10/24/19" but somehow my artist is still assigned to my event and I will need to contact my artist directly with the information given in the email. HOWEVER no contact information has been given for my artist other than the first name "Gaby." We called the business contact number - just rings and goes to voicemail. We called the attorney listed in the email - basically was told to leave my information, the name of the company and how much I'm owed and my name will be put on a list.. however the impression that is being given by the attorney is that it's not guaranteed I will receive the money back and he "knows nothing" about who to contact regarding the situation.. My wedding is in 2 weeks and now I am having to stress last minute to find a hair AND makeup stylist that is available on my date. It's literally impossible. It's very clear that the company had to of known they were filing for bankruptcy within this month, yet continued to book services and accept payments from people booking for future events. It is shocking to me how a company could so easily take advantage of people and is now causing multiple brides extra stress to find a new service provider for their wedding, with little to no time to do so. I will definitely be contacting the Better Business Bureau.
