    Styled cornrows by Shanaye - 10/10
    Andrew S.

    I'm from the SF Bay Area and I'm used to having a supply of places to do cornrows. However, ever since I've moved to Santa Barbara, it's been difficult to find stylists who have specialization in braiding hair. I drove an hour out to Camarillo to fulfill an appointment with Shanaye I had made less than a day before in order to braid the top of my hair. I've had cornrows at least five times before by professional stylists - so just in case, I expected the meeting to take a while. I had made space in my schedule to account for three hours. Shanaye only took 45 minutes to give me - I'm being one-hundred - the best braiding I've ever had. I was afraid to ask for the style because many people charge extra for challenging cornrows. Many people in the area that I had counted on before to 'hook me up' wanted at least $40 for the design I got done today. Shanaye charged me $30 (with $5 off for being a first-time client). Not only that, but I had felt welcome as soon as I step foot into the studio. It was a family-oriented environment - there was daytime television playing and Shanaye greeted me instantly upon my entrance. Shanaye is very easy to talk to. I don't usually say that liberally - I'm not a sociable person. However, it was effortless to have a relaxing conversation with Shanaye. There was a period where the other stylist joined in a topic. I never felt any pressure to talk or prove an image - this can be a huge problem for customers unfamiliar to the culture present in other studios that specialize in urban hairstyles - overall, I felt welcome at Simplicity. I only wish that I lived closer so I could come here more often. Fortunately, this isn't the last time that I'll see Shanaye. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get their hair braided.

    Before and after of my hair from Rosa. From the get go Neesha the owner was very kind and quick to respond about what I wanted and set up an appointment for me. Rosa was very sweet and listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations of how I thought it was going to turn out. So if you're looking for a place to get any sort of salon treatment done I suggest simplicity

Thank you again Fatou for my amazing knotless braids! you killed it!

    I absolutely love this place. I've gone here twice and I'm able to get a full weave and closure installed in less than 3 hours! My last salon, a full weave was an all day event. My stylist is Shanaye and she is absolutely hands down extremely professional. She is ready to start when I arrive and does not need to take breaks or jump to another client while doing my hair. Shanaye also cares about my natural hair and gives a lot of advice on keeping my natural hair healthy while wearing a protective style. The shop is immaculate and the staff seem very friendly. Shanaye and her team welcome all different hair types as the staff is diverse. Their motto on the wall (and I'm paraphrasing) they work hard to make you look beautiful...I'm going to have to come back and correct that. Nevertheless, I look forward to working with Shanaye in red future!

    I just want to thank Lady's at Simplicity Hair Studios!! My daughters hair, nails, and makeup looked so beautiful for her Prom.

    The hair salon part of this Salon is horrible, I had called before I went and asked how much a trim was she said $40, not telling me how much a flat iron and style would hike up the price. If I need it was going to be that much I would've just went to my regular hair lady and got weave. I was trying to save money but the overall total was $105. I went to my bank and filed a claim, let the lady know that did my hair if my bank reached out to her and never got a reply back until yesterday. I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair trimmed and it didn't even look similar to the picture I will attach it below, AND I will attach all the screenshots of the conversation with the lady that did my hair (Rose). But I went back to my regular hair stylist and told her about the Simplicity place and she didn't have nothing but bad things to say about them. I even told my mom and she said the Camarillo Salon that she goes to didn't have anything good to say about them either, they told her to never go to that hair salon and right when I stepped out that salon after she was done with my hair I told myself I was never going to go back. they got me fucked up. If i could give them zero stars I would

    I really enjoy the environment at this salon. Everyone is nice and friendly! Shanaye does a great job on my hair and she does exactly what I ask of her to do in a timely manner. Carmen is the prefect person to go to for a hair cut. I have been going to this salon some years now, and I have never see Carmen do a bad cut yet. In fact, she cut my hair in the perfect Mohawk. I love my cut. I would recommend this salon to my friends and family, and I drive from Eagle Rock, Ca to get my hair done there. Great salon and great people!

    Sue did such wonderful job on my hands and yes I'm certainly a male who happens tone into this stuff.
    Reece B.

    Sue did a nice job on me. Look at my acrylic nails with French white tips in the background. I'm a male and I have had people comment on my nails plenty of times. This is such a wonder privilege to have French white tip acrylics as a male person and enjoy every moment of it. This person Sue did such a nice job on me.

    Out the door!! Thank you!!!!

    Neesha is amazing!!! I just moved to Ventura and desperately needed a stylist. She listens so well and really knows her hair products! She will be my regular stylist from now on!! Call her today!!

    Very bouncy and free

Nails- I get hybrid gel when I go. Quality is fantastic each time and she's always honest around designs she can and can't do. She takes great care in shaping, filing, and even thinning out the underside or inside part of the nail. My nails last 2 weeks and 3 weeks if I file them down myself so they don't get too long. Haven't tried the pedicure but people always seem to get them. Service- Nancy and her team are lovely. It can be a mixed bag on warmth, but I think it's really dependent on you, the client. Not every stylist is going to become your best friend or be your therapist. And coming from an Asian background myself certain mannerisms and body language might come off to people with non-Asian backgrounds as cold or rude. Nancy is really just a quiet person, you can even tell when she speaks Viet she is very soft spoken, so don't take her reservedness as her not liking you. I think any introvert can empathize there. Once she warms up to you she is really lovely. And even after all that and you still feel like it ain't just try somewhere else, no need to leave a review unless she cut your finger off. Logistics - **CASH ONLY** so prepare ahead of time **TEXT HER** yes it's true. She's probably busy doing nails so it's easier for her if you text so she can reply on her free time. **Advance notice for designs** I always send her a picture if I want a certain design so she can schedule accordingly. Highly recommend to give her a shot!

The staff also wears gloves when handling our nails. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with no limited capacity. They are sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent. They share the lot with several other establishments. Parking spaces are decent as well. Staff: The staff here are very nice, friendly, and professional. My friends and I got the gel manicure and regular pedicure. We actually wanted nudes colors for BOTH our mani and pedi, but the person who did our pedi gave us a gray-ish looking color one. It did not match our mani, and we only realized it a couple of hours later. We had told her we wanted #488 for both our toes and fingers. The colors on our fingers were correct, but not our toes. That's why I removed one star. Thankfully, many of us wore long dresses for the wedding, and people were not paying attention to our toes. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Smiley does my nails. He is a perfectionist and truly an amazing artist! I've been going to him for over 20 years! Getting an appointment is not a problem. They'll fit you in, if at all possible. They're so friendly and accommodating. My daughter got her nails done by Smiley for her prom and was ecstatic! They really looked beautiful! Jen does amazing pedicures!

I requested a Deluxe gel pedicure ($40) but when I paid they said they had to add the gel ($55). It makes sense but I wish they had more transparency on their pricing. Another reason I am not giving them a higher rating is this last time I went, I did not enjoy my experience. The guy doing my nails complained that they were very fragile and broke off. Which is true, and I did not blame him for that, sometimes my nails break off easily, this is not the reason for my rating. The reason I gave a lower rating is 1) he decided to use super glue on my nail and 2) he cut me a few times. This is the first time someone has used super glue because my nails were fragile. Maybe he was trying to cover up something. Not sure. But the cuts he made hurt a lot. He didn't do my gel application, another nail tech did and when she would use acetone, it burned A LOT. And she had to file my nails a little more because the first guy missed some spots. The place overall is very clean and welcoming but I'm not sure if I will go back again.

    I went in on Wednesday March 18th for a gel-x manicure. This salon is not my norm as I typically go…read moreto Top Nail but decided to give this local salon a chance. As of Thursday March 26th I have lost the thumb nail on my left hand and the nails on my left index finger and left middle finger are lifting and preparing to pop off. If you look at the photos attached, you'll see the nail came off of my finger smoothly, there is no tearing of the natural nail because the nail did not come off from force but from improper application. All the loose nails are on my non dominant hand so it is not from misuse or strain. From the start of the appointment things weren't going well. As she put the nails up to my finger, they felt too wide. When the manicurist, Kelly, was trying to glue the nails on, she was squeezing my fingers so tightly that they hurt and were turning bright red. She tried to cure the nail under the blue light but kept accidentally hitting it with my finger and turning it off. She was going in circles the entire appointment trying to keep the light on and turning it off. When she would finish with a nail she would use her nail to scrape the glue from my nail because since the nail was too wide it was being glued onto my skin. This was my first sign that she is inexperienced. When she finished with my right hand I looked at it and was horrified, two nails were visibly crooked. I said something and she just brushed me off and said that she would file them so they were not crooked. This makes no sense because the base of the nail will still be misaligned no matter how much you file. I expressed my concern again and she again brushed me off. When she got started on my left hand I expressed concern over the fact that the first nail she put on (pinky) was again crooked. She seemed frustrated and TORE THE NAIL OFF MY FINGER AGGRESSIVELY. I won't go into detail with the other concerns, you can see for yourself the unnatural pink, crooked nails, overly thick French tip, etc. To top it all off it took her almost two hours to apply the nails!! I sucked it up that they might not be visually what I wanted, paid, and left. But now that the nails are all lifting and coming off after only having them on for a week I had to write a review and warn others. I have had countless gel-x sets put on at Top Nail and have never encountered such poor technique and application. This was genuinely the worst manicure I have ever received. So disappointed and would NEVER recommend someone visit this salon. I genuinely would've been better with press ons from Target. This was a complete waste of two hours of my time and $75.
