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.

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 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

I no longer live as close to Ventura as I did before, however I will still make the long drive to get my hair cut by my girl Angie. It's crazy to think how long we've known each other now and I will say she is probably the only person in this world I trust with my hair. Her attentiveness and attention to detail when it comes to doing my hair all these years has never faltered and I will continue to be a loyal customer. Thank you Angie!

I have had super bad luck with hairstylists since I moved to Ventura. Today I had an appointment…read morewith Emma at this salon and was excited because my hair badly needed color and a trim. I was very clear with the receptionist about what I needed when I scheduled the appointment. I arrived a few minutes early and was told Emma was running half an hour late. When she finally came to fetch me she asked me what she could do for me. I told her. She said, "I don't cut short hair. My specialty is long hair." What kind of stylist can't cut short hair? She agreed to color it and tried to book me for the following week for a trim - with another stylist. I don't want to wait another week for a trim! The color she put on my hair was so dark it's almost black and does not match the color I already had. Guess I will have to start all over again from scratch. It's so very, very upsetting and disappointing.

I liked this place for the most part. Just some feedback on some improvements, offer guest WiFi…read morebecause the cell phone signal here is really bad. It's extremely slow and annoying especially if you are sitting in the chair getting your hair done for a long time. The bowl to wash your hair is not that great compared to other salons I've been to since the water slips through your back. The restroom isn't wheelchair accessible due to a couple of small steps. A foldable/portable wheelchair ramp could make the space more inclusive for people with mobility needs. This can be placed on the side on a as needed basis. Overall, I liked this place though! Staff was very nice and color was great.

I originally left a great review but it was definitely too premature. I got my nails done here in…read moreJanuary 4th, it took 3.5 hours for my full set of gel x, cost $150 plus tip. They were beautiful and seemed sturdy. I was happy to pay the price with how gorgeous they were. By day 6, two nails had broken off. Not blunt breaks but a clean peel off of the glue. Since then, not even a month later, I have 3 nails left (I keep gluing them back on myself because it was so expensive and I wasn't really planning to get my nails done again so soon). To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Every time I have got Gel X they have lasted 6-8 weeks. For this price and time invested, this should not have happened. I've been on leave from work and resting mostly so I have not been rough with my nails AT ALL. These nails were cured several times so I do not know what the issue is. This salon was recommended to me by someone who has used them before and swore by their work. I'm not sure if it's the materials or technique but buyer beware. Gel X is not the strong suit here.

Highly recommend Sindy ( @ sindyinthecosmos on IG )…read more Today was my first time getting my hair done here and I absolutely LOVED everything about it. It's beautiful inside, everyone I met was super nice, and it felt so much more welcoming than other salons I've visited in the past. I've been dealing with some crazy post partum regrowth and recovering from some DIY damage to my hair. Sindy did a great job correcting my color and gave me literally the best hair cut I've ever had. She was super thorough and she made sure every little detail was perfect since it was my first time getting a shag cut. I left feeling like myself again for the first time since having my baby but 100x better

I've had my nails done by Hector multiple times and hair done by Holly for a (recent) smoothing treatment, and returned tons of coloring. And I have to add that the front desk staff and Freddie himself add a particular warming, homey feel that is unparalleled. Their coffee is so yummy and treats are fantastic if you need a snack! Hector is so detail-oriented and gentle with his services, I can't go anywhere else for my nails. The knowledge he has and shares as he's doing your service is so professional and useful, and he's creative to the utmost level. Holly is extremely patient (I've changed my color so many times with her due to my constant need for change!) and never said "No, we can't do that", despite some of my strange ideas. She's calm, collected, and always finds a solution to find a way to give you the service you want. Not only that, but her quality of service is fantastic. I've just moved out of the area but I'm going to miss your lovely staff at Freddie's and your amazing services!
