Love my haircut and color by Kayla. I asked for curtain bangs and mid-length layers. She did such a great job. Thank you so much.

Everette did a great just on my cut- so knowledgeable and left my hair feeling light, moisturized and easy to style. To help keep my length- which I thought was all dried out and split- he recommended a hard water cleansing treatment and it made my hair so soft and locked in moisture so we didn't have to cut as much off! Very kind, friendly and a great vibe read more

I've been going to Ashton for over a decade, and I honestly can't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair. She has this incredible ability to really listen--not just to what I want, but to what my hair actually needs. Every appointment feels like a collaboration and I always leave feeling like the best version of myself. The salon itself is such a cozy, inviting space. Ashton's created an environment that's not only stylish but also super welcoming. Whether I'm going in for a refresh or a full transformation, I know I'm in good hands. read more

This is a hard review for me to write. I went to Salt + Mane to see Becca - I've known her and trusted her for years. I work as a model and actor and am often asked to change my hair at the request of my agents, and she has never let me down. Until now. Over the months of September to October, I visited her about 4 times to slowly work my way from long dark brown hair to a light brown/blondish blunt bob. Somehow, after that process, I have ended up with an orange, striped, uneven, choppy layered bob. I could go into detail, but truthfully, I don't understand how it ended up this way. I blame myself for maybe not explaining well enough? But my hair looks nothing like any of the inspiration photos I've shown her. Not to mention, my hair seems way thinner than it has ever been and I'm wondering if she may have thinned it with shears as well. I've now been to another stylist who informed me that the haircut was not only uneven and poorly done, but the color is not blended and there is a band of old red color still lingering on the top of my head. Because of this, I'm going to have to spend more money to redo the color, and lose out on modeling & acting work while I wait for my hair to grow - which could take years. I really loved her and trusted her, that's why this is so hard to write. However, I just can't deny how awful this turned out and the toll it's taken on my mental health and my career. See pictures attached for reference. She issued a refund for the cut, which I am grateful for; however, it's still hard for me to fathom the amount of money I spent on the color as well for it to end up this way. It is truly painful to write this review and I'm devastated this happened. I wish Becca all the best. read more

Ashton did such a beautiful and attentive job on my hair today. So excited to find this magical little salon in Ventura. Can't wait to go back! read more

Had similar experience with Ashton a few years back. Got home and saw hair color with lighting I am familiar with. It was terrible. When I asked for a revision, she was, to say the least, very unprofessional read more

I went to Ashton Arca at Salt & Stone for a brunette gloss (a basic, rich medium brown color I've had time and time again my whole life ) and left with BLACK and PURPLE-hued hair. It was the worst color I've ever had. I told her my hair was fine, fragile, and grabs color quickly. She glossed me TWICE without adjusting anything or using a porosity treatment (something I now know is a major no no). I even said in the chair that the tone looked off, and she ignored me. My scalp stung when she applied the root color and it was ultimately burned all over and dyed a purple hue as well. It is still stinging the next day. I mentioned it and she said it was normal for some mild stinging when applying the root color. This has never ever happened to me before and I've been going to salons for 25 years. And in the biggest breach of trust, we discussed only doing a demi-permanent color on my roots to be gentle and I found out after the fact she used harsh PERMANENT color directly against my consent. This is malpractice and completely unethical. I really can't believe it. After the appointment, I asked for a full refund multiple times. She refused and only returned the cost of the gloss and tip, even though the problem affected the entire service. She kept the charges for the root color and blow dry, even though I had to go home and immediately wash my hair with clarifying shampoo to try and fix the result. That didn't work, and the color still looked awful. She admitted in writing that she made a mistake and that the color was never supposed to turn out black and purple, yet still wouldn't refund me in full. I didn't feel safe going back to someone who let me walk out looking like that and refused to take full responsibility, not to mention burned my scalp and went directly against my wishes for the root color type. My family and friends were shocked, and even my former stylist couldn't believe how badly a simple gloss had gone. I've now booked a full correction with a professional at my own expense. I would not recommend Ashton to anyone who expects professional color work or basic accountability. read more

This salon is always so perfect! Every time I go, I'm always so happy with the vibe and staff. I've followed Becca from a previous salon and she has been my favorite person to cut/color my hair. It's always a 10/10 and I leave feeling like my best self. She's not only open and welcoming but she always knows what I want for my hair before I do. I definitely recommend her to everyone I know for a great experience from start to finish. read more

I had called Juliet for a wash, hair dry, and straightening. When I got there she recommend getting a TRIM for my dead ends, I said yes because I didn't mind a little trim, next thing I know she has taken off 3 inches. When I went in my hair was past the middle of my back and now it is to my shoulder blades straight and I have very curly hair which she knew and stated it will shrink up. I am very disappointed. I have debated posting this but I am a teenager and I have saved my money for this and I am very disappointed and sad with how short and how my hair turned out. She was having to much fun with the clippers and that is quite sad. The vibe was good just the outcome of the hair was very bad and sad. read more

Beautiful salon and great blowout with Destini. I am glad to have such a great option for hair in Ventura!

Absolutely in love with this cut and color from Nicole! I'm pretty casual and don't do much with my hair, so I just asked for something natural and let her work her magic. It turned out better than I could've imagined! I'm leaving the salon feeling like a goddess, which is such a treat as a mom who usually doesn't take time to get done up. And on top of that, Nicole is the absolute sweetest! read more

I can't rave enough about Ashton, her salon and her team! Aside from her talent, the salon is clean, bright, airy and whimsical, parking is never an issue (there's a plethora behind the library across the street), the vibe is always positive and welcoming (never judgy or gossipy). Now for Ashton, she's just a dream of a human... her warm, kind and authenticity radiates, she's always actively listening and effortlessly attending to everyone's needs... I refer to her as an Earth Angel :) Her skills are unparalleled - She REALLY knows her stuff and takes her time, is gentle in her approach, thorough in the technique and always delivering exactly what I ask for. Absolutely LOVE her! read more

Really friendly staff. Worked miracles in my hair. Other salons turned my brunette hair orange while Veronica made it blonde. Truly knows what she is doing and me being introverted she didn't need to hold a conversation which I appreciated! Definitely will come back. read more

Salt + Mane Salon - Hair - Hair Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

Everett is literally the best hairstylist everrrrr. This is coming from someone who cherishes her hair to an unhealthy extent and does an insane amount of research before committing. He got my hair to a color other stylists haven't been able to replicate - and in a healthier way for your hair. He made sitting in a chair for hours entertaining. I finally found a stylist I want to stick with. Highly recommend - especially if you're a blonde looking for warmth instead of cool tones. read more

I have gone to Oakley Singer for years for platinum/very blonde hair and I'm always so impressed! She exceeds all my expectations and is so fun to spend hours with! I highly recommend her! read more

It is rare for me to write negative reviews. I try to compliment employees' work. I will start with the positive. My hairdresser was pleasant during the whole process. However, after my haircut, I was billed $123.05 (including tip) just for a wash and a simple cut. This simple procedure at this price was outrageously expensive. I wish the hairdresser was upfront about the prices, and I wish the prices were on their website. $123.05 is much too expensive for a haircut, to get my hair washed, and towel-dried/blow-dried. I went in asking for a haircut and they charged me for a wash even though I did not ask for it. This is very deceptive customer service. The outrageous price was not worth the service provided. I wish I could have received a refund. read more

Everett did an absolutely incredible job, I wanted my hair short and he got it the perfect length and made sure I didn't have any bumps when it laid over my ears. he did such a good job with my colour and our appointment was so fun. He made it such a warm and welcoming environment, I will definitely be rebooking! read more

I am so glad I chose Salt + Main for my first Ventura haircut! Ashton is so warm and gracious. A true artist. She carefully took the time to understand what's up with my hair-- how to improve upon the previous cut, which was done elsewhere, addressed the texture and the hair's overall behavior. She understood what my goals are-- to help it grow out long again. Ashton reshaped the cut, made it look amazing, and carefully showed me how to make the best of my curls. I am totally going to make this salon my home place. read more

This place is amazing in all aspects. The location is perfect and parking is so easy given the area. The vibe of the salon is on point and the stylists are very inviting and talented in their craft. I'm in the process of going platinum and Ashton was straight forward with how to get there(from dark brunette) while keeping the integrity of my hair. In just one visit she got me to a great level. I'm not sure what number blonde I am but I am thrilled with my first session. I asked for dark roots and light around and she gave me just that. The haircut was perfect too. Everything about this was nothing short of incredible. I definitely recommend the stylists here, especially Ashton. read more

I have gone to this salon twice now for a haircut by Veronica. I really enjoy the atmosphere of the salon. Veronica has cut my hair really well. She provides a wonderful head massage as she washes my hair which is really important to my experience. She has great information and suggestions for care of my hair. I would highly recommend her and will continue to see her. read more

Veronica is super talented! she took me from a heavy solid color to a very natural brlunette by only covering my greys lightly and turning them in to highlights! highly recommend. read more

Had my first appt at Salt + Mane yesterday - a blowout with Destiny. Def recommend Destiny if anyone in Ventura is looking for a blowout before an event or just because :) Cute salon, loved the aesthetic and the massage chairs while you're getting your hair washed are amazing. read more

I have been to numerous salons within the county over the years. Heck, I've even gone to the Valley to get my hair done in the past. Let me just say I'm so glad to have been referred to this Salon here in Ventura! I love the front desk staff, I love the color scheme of the salon (yellow and grey), I love the glass front windows, I love everything about Crush! Veronica was referred to me a while back, and as I have curly/wavy hair she has been able to cut it perfectly every time. I have high expectations and I'm very high maintenance! I don't say that to be cocky it's a fact. Veronica is professional, thorough, detailed, respectful, and listens to me jump back and forth. I never really know what I want going in, but when I leave she's hit the spot and my hair looks fabulous. Thanks Crush Salon & Veronica! read more

Veronica is incredible! I don't like to color my hair, so I was looking everywhere for someone who was also known for their haircuts. Veronica is just that!! I knew I was bored with my hair but didn't really know how to explain what I wanted. Veronica was incredibly knowledgeable about how to cut my hair for my face shape and gave me really great tips on styling as well because let's face it, I knew nothing. Thanks so much, Veronica! read more

Salt + Mane Salon - Full Highlight - Hair Salons Near Me - Ventura, California

My first visit with Veronica was so awesome! She took time to listen to my (clunky) explanation of the natural style I was looking for and added her professional insight to achieve the look I was going for. I felt comfortable and enjoyed the pampering! Finding a new hair stylist can be stressful, but Veronica made it a very pleasant experience :) Her availability is also great! read more

I absolutely LOVE my hair, cut by Veronica. In fact the whole experience made my day. First, she asked what I wanted in my haircut and I could tell she was really listening, taking in everything I was saying. Then, she asked if I'd like to start with a therapeutic hand massage with essential oil. I of course said YES! I'd never experienced this before it was such a luxurious treat!! I felt so relaxed and blissed out, like I was at a spa! Then she proceeded to cut my hair, and it is the best cut I've ever had!! She added some curls at the end (after asking my permission of course) and I walked out both looking and feeling AMAZING. I don't know how she did it, but the cut is so great, I literally can do nothing to my hair and it looks styled. People have even commented on this. Veronica, I am so grateful I found you. The whole luxurious mind/body experience you offer - including the best haircut ever - is such a gift to your clients. I'm booking my next session far out in advance because you're so popular, and deservedly so!!! read more

I was visiting my hometown last weekend and needed a cut and high/low lights. Which is risky, since I don't live in the area and don't know the reputation of any stylists other than YELP reviews. It was a last minute booking which makes it even more challenging. I searched different salons on YELP. I found Salt and Mane and accepted the first stylist who was available, who was Tenley. She didn't expect someone with short hair since I requested highlights. She asked many questions about high/lowlights and my preferred type of cut. She also made suggestions and explained the suggestions. I'm glad I went with her suggestion of using low lights that blend with the natural color of my hair. What I loved about Tenley is she worked as if my hair was a piece of art, which reflects the words used on the website. Tenley took the time throughout the process to make sure I was going to be satisfied with the cut and color. I give big props to Tenley for asking questions, making suggestions and paying attention to details of how and which instrument to use to create her art. I might even make an appointment with Tenley next time I'm in town. read more

Had an appointment recently, hairdresser was very nice. Atmosphere at the salon was nice too. At the same time the quality of haircut is not matching with price, I had to fix some lines after visit. read more

Veronica does my hair and she's just the best! Like many others, I ruined my hair during lock down and I'm truly amazed how Veronica has maintained my hair after my bleaching disaster. If you are looking for a natural sun kissed look, you should see her! She easy to talk to and can help you find a look that works for you without compromising your hair quality. I have total trust in her. read more

Megan is the best!!! She did my moms hair after a absolute hair catastrophe done by another stylist at another salon.

I am a visitor to Ventura, CA and made an appointment with Veronica for a cut, color and deep conditioning. I explained to Veronica what I wanted done, then she made recommendations for my cut and color that were better than what my long-time stylist has been doing for me! A very nice touch to the start of my appointment was a relaxing hand massage with essential oil. Veronica did an excellent job with my hair and if I were staying in Ventura I would most definitely be going back to her! Thanks so much Veronica!! read more
