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.

I spent hours researching hair/makeup vendors for weddings because I didn't want to end up looking like a raccoon on my wedding day. The thing that really sold me on Cheek to Cheek was that another reviewer had said that she cried most of the day and her makeup did not budge - I can now agree as I laughed, sobbed, and danced my way through the day and evening, and my makeup. Did. Not. Budge. (It did come off with makeup wipes after the wedding when I wanted it to) Cheek to Cheek Artistry is a wonderful company with incredible artists, I cannot imagine going with anyone else for that day. Shout out to Louie and Sam for being so amazing, and I am so happy I chose Cheek to Cheek artistry! I also want to mention that I did my trial for my engagement photos during a time when my skin was breaking out so badly and I had bumps and redness and even pus (I know, it was gross and traumatizing), and I had such low self-esteem. When I got to see the end result from my trial, I almost cried because I got to see myself without the blemishes which I had been living with for about a year at that point and was so worried would never go away. Even though my skin has recovered, I'll never forget the relief I felt looking in the mirror and knowing that no matter what kind of breakout I may develop before my wedding, Cheek to Cheek Artistry can take care of it. Cheers!

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.

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.
