I love this salon, the nicest people are here! Cesar does a great job. I'm in and out in 10 minutes, he does a great job just trimming the dead ends and he's length sensitive. I won't go anywhere else as long as I'm Santa Barbara. read more

This place was amazing. Besides the next-door owner was super mean and rude! I would come back if I wouldn't get yelled at by the owner of the B beauty. read more

Love! This place is amazing! It is a family owned business and they are both amazing at what they do! I went to Cesar to get a hair cut, and it was in an out so fast! He did an amazing job! I was so impressed I booked an appointment to get a balayage with Yvette and i loved it. She is so honest about what colors my hair would pick up and the goals of the brassy red color I had. She left my hair feeling amazing and looking even better! I really appreciated her taking her time to do this! She was so quick and the cost was way better than many other places! Thank you! :) read more

Distracted and inattentive stylist. Stay away from this place! The male stylist was annoyingly distracted the whole time, misgendered me and spent the entire session mansplaining how I should take care of my hair. He stopped cutting my hair mid-session because a stray cat started meowing at the door and he spent a few minutes to feed it, and then while he was mansplaining how hard water damages hair, he stopped again to go into the back to get a water softener shower head to show me. I just wanted a haircut! read more

My family and I love coming here! Yvette is so great and patient with our toddlers. She is never fazed when they start crying or try to wiggle out of the chair. She's been doing my husband's haircuts for years and I love when she styles mine for events. This is also a family owned business and they treat everyone like family. read more

We have been treated like family every time we go. They do such a good at cutting your hair to look good for your body type. Cannot say enough amazing things about this place. Do yourself a favor and come in for a cut read more

Went in for my first haircut in Santa Barbara because I'm originally from LA. They took me right away and I left feeling fresh and rejuvenated! Great haircut and all the dead ends are gone! He also did a great job layering my hair!! Will definitely be going back. read more

BEST haircut in town! Cesar is a Master!! My haircut only takes minutes and I love how fast he is. Not only do I get a haircut and shampoo when I go in, Cesar teaches me how to take care of my sensitive scalp and what products might be doing me harm. If you're looking for a haircut, make sure you call ahead and schedule something with them, they are pretty busy. Like I said, this is the BEST place in town for a haircut! read more

I wouldn't recommended this place for eyebrows. I asked the guy for a clean up only. Instead, he stripped my eyebrows super thin and it literally looks like someone drew a line on my eyebrows. read more

I have known Cesar for 18 years. From when he worked at fantastic sams to trade secret where I met his sister Yvette and followed them to their new salon(yes Im a follower) cesar does my eyebrows and depending on what style or color I want i have either one of them do my hair... Yvette knows how i love my length and of course cry when i cut my hair(yup Im that girl) but none the less she makes me feel at home. Cesar and i can have a good joke going my entire visit. Besides he adopted my pup and has been a great doggy dad! I recommend these to amazing humans! You will never regret it. Once you have your stylist you wont turn back. As i have learned when i cheated to get my eyebrows done(dont do it)! Where ever they go i shall follow! Keep up the great work guys! Love going to your office and having a fun time for whatever service i need! read more

Cesar and Yvette are amazing hair stylist. Highly recommend for all family members from hair cuts to colour. A+++++

I love the owners (brother and sister)! They are so welcoming and their shop has a very family-oriented feel, especially when they bicker like siblings. Lol, it's so cute !!! They really take the time to make sure they are cutting your hair the way you would like it to turn out. They don't rush things, but they don't take forever either! I would highly recommend, and they have the most affordable prices for the best service !! Most places in sb charge a ridiculous $80 minimum (I would know, I called at least 5 places), but I received my fabulous new haircut for $30 :). read more

This is the BEST salon around. It's a family friendly business. Cesar is fabulous and my whole family has been getting our hair done by him for the last 17 years...it's a little difficult to find, but I would definitely give it a try. read more

I always struggle to find eyebrow place that doesn't mess up my eyebrows! Yvette does great with eyebrows and uses hard wax so I can go around town after without puffy red skin. She is also awesome with hair cuts. I have been lucky enough to be able to pop in on walk in basis and have her available. read more

Yvette and of course Cesar too, are among the best hairstylers! Very efficient and always respectful or clients' time. Prices are super reasonable and always willing to make people happy. Thank you guys!! read more

Love this salon and the Stylists. I've been going to Yvette Alarcon for over 5 years now back when she worked at Trade Secret and she is amazing. She's always up on the new trends and her work is amazing. Have never been disappointed, recently she added highlights and although I was a little afraid to try to go lighter (I wasn't sure it would look good on me) she assured me that it would look great and she was right, I love the color and have been getting many compliments. She is an artist you won't be disappointed. read more

Cesar and his sister team are amazing. Very skilled stylists with great personalities. Excellent customer service and the amount of services provided for the cost is unrivaled. There is coffee area on site also, so you can sip while waiting. Be sure to make appointment because they may be very busy. Cesar cuts my hair for many years. He always cuts my heir the way I want it and sometime he gives me advice to take care of it too. Every time I walk out with my hair in style. Highly recommended. read more
