    Went in today for a blow out, an hour and 45 minutes later I left with dirty hair and whatever this is, I mean what can I expect for 30$ but still... this is the worse blow out I've ever had. My hair was pulled out, the towels smelled dirty. The "wash" was half done. Just a mess.

    I had asked for a cute bob was going for a big chop to get a cute bob and it turned out horrible, I can't wrap my head around how you mess up a bob this badly, Sacil did my hair and I wasn't given a refund due to booking policy which i guess I understand

    Kristina is amazing. I go to her for facials for about 2 years now, and my skin is beautiful…read more She is very professional, kind and considerate. She honestly tells if some treatments or product wouldn't be good for my face/skin. I definatley would suggest her service to anyone.

    I started coming to this salon randomly because it's right down the street from my house, and I've…read moreseen Abel, Katie, Madeline, and Heather for my hair. Today was the first time I've ever been charged extra for a "curl/flat iron," even though my hair wasn't curled or flat ironed at all. The haircut itself was nice, but the blow-dry was honestly really bad--it looked like I tried to do it myself and failed. I didn't say anything in the salon, but when I got home, my friends pointed out how bad it looked, which made me realize I wasn't overreacting. Overall, I do like this salon, especially for walk-ins. If I had to rank the stylists I've been to: Madeline is definitely #1--she did an amazing job with both the cut and styling, and there were no random extra charges. Abel also did a great job with my highlights. Katie and Heather would be tied. They're both very nice, but Katie cut my hair noticeably uneven--I even had coworkers telling me not to go back to her, which is why I stopped coming to the salon for a while. Heather did a good job with the haircut itself, but the styling was not good. I wouldn't have minded as much since I planned to redo my hair at home anyway, but being charged extra for styling that didn't turn out well is frustrating. I was actually going to ask to skip the blow-dry, but she said she needed to dry it to see how it laid and refine the cut. If it had turned out good, I wouldn't have minded the upcharge--but paying extra for something that looked this bad is really disappointing. And the extra charge wasn't explained it almost seemed like she was trying to sneak it in as she whispered to the receptionist to help her add the charge. If I return l be sure to only schedule my appointments with Madeline (:

I said sure that works i don't mind! she then reached out and said, unless you can come in tonight in 30 minutes? so i'm across town and i drop everything to go and do her the favor and came in the night before my appointment. it's an empty salon, late, and dark out. It was just us! I think the experience itself was great! She made me feel welcomed and was sweet and grateful i came in so last minute. the shocker was the price!! the website listed $65+ for a haircut. I've gone to salons with that range and it's no more than $70. To my surprise when the total was $100??? for a haircut?!!! mind you she did a dry cut. no wash no blowout no styling. i asked for a trim and long curtain bangs. the over all haircut itself was quick. i didn't take much of her time. but for $100?? for a dry cut??? that blew my mind. and i still tipped

    I moved to Ventura a few years ago, and I was on the hunt for a hairstylist who not only does an…read moreamazing job but is also friendly and professional. One day, while getting coffee at Palm & Boy across the way, I noticed a charming salon. Curious, I stopped by and was greeted by a lovely receptionist who immediately connected me with Corey. I honestly felt like I hit the lottery! Corey is not only skilled but also incredibly kind and compassionate. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine care, and I'm so grateful to have found her at Matiz Salon. Every visit is a wonderful experience, and I always leave feeling amazing. Highly recommend!

    I should've left this five star review over a year ago when she did my hair, but I am leaving it…read morenow because she deserves so much credit. I'm a natural auburn redhead and so I appreciated her. Still keeping my natural color but adding some blonde to it. That is not an easy task. KRESA is amazing at what she does. She made me feel so good after my appointment. To this day, I have not found anyone that can cut and color my hair like her. It's funny because when I first went to the salon in Ventura, it was because I was housesitting for my parents and since I live in a small mountain town I rarely get my hair done and I thought while I was there, I could do it. Little did I know that I knew Kresa from Bakersfield. I used to get my hair done at her salon that she owned, but didn't have the pleasure of getting my hair done by her. I live about five hours away and I am absolutely considering driving that far to get my hair done once I get a new job. If you need your hair done, seriously go to Kresa.

    I truly did not want to write this review about my experience at The Color Bar on June 27, 2026…read more However, after a new stylist declined to schedule a second appointment following my disclosure of what happened, I felt it was only fair to share an honest account so prospective clients could make an informed decision. I will not publicly disclose the name of either stylist, but I am willing to provide that information if contacted directly. I was at The Color Bar for approximately six hours. The foils on the right side of my head seemed to be processing normally. However, after the stylist remixed the color and began applying it to the left side, the foils became extremely hot. The heat was burning my neck and scalp, and my hair itself was burning. I was terrified that my hair was going to burn off, so I began pulling out the foils myself. They were so hot that they burned my fingers as I removed them. Even the salon owner felt the excessive heat. I did not learn until after the incident that she was the owner, but she did not show any concern. The stylist at The Color Bar accused me of putting something in my hair that caused the burning. However, the only product I had used was a natural black-hair shampoo approximately two weeks earlier. I have never experienced anything like this--not even after using boxed hair dye. In an attempt to correct the color, the stylist applied a toner that left my hair looking essentially black. My hair is neither thin nor straight, so perhaps its texture was more challenging for her to work with. However, I trusted that she had the experience necessary to color my hair safely. My hair was severely damaged, my shirt was left with major bleach stains, and although I did request a discount due to the less than professional service,  I was still charged and PAID HER $300. I have included pictures showing the bleach damage to my shirt from that appointment. Despite everything that happened, **I never became angry or raised my voice.** I showed the stylist considerable grace because her child had also been at the salon for several hours, and she shared that her husband had been deployed that day. In August, I visited a stylist at another salon, which I will not name in this review but it's at Hollywood Beach. During that appointment, I privately explained what had happened at The Color Bar and why my damaged hair required extra conditioning and care. When I later tried to schedule a second appointment, she declined to book me and said she had spoken to the other stylist - I didn't even provide her with a name, just an initial! (I could barely remember her name). **I cannot know exactly what was said between the two stylists, but I was shocked to be blamed for what happened**!! The fact that one side processed normally while the newly mixed color on the other side became dangerously hot speaks for itself. Clients should be able to trust that their hair will be treated safely. If something goes wrong, they also deserve honesty, accountability, and compassion. I hope this review encourages others to book with caution, research their stylist thoroughly, and ask questions before committing to a service. Regards, Ventura Resident
