    A subtle balayage: dark roots transitioning to chocolate brown ends
    Sherryl I.

    Wanna hear a story about serendipity? A few years ago for my wedding reception, I got glam'd up by a team at a local salon. The chick who styled my hair left a lasting impression, though with all the wedding jitters, I didn't remember her name. Many months later, I went back to that salon looking for her, but she was no longer there. Armed with a fuzzy description and no name, I was forced to go elsewhere. Well, fast forward a few years, I have a last-minute event and my latest hairstylist is booked. My hair is a mess: ends are dry and brittle, roots are showing, blonde highlights have become ashy and unflattering. Turning to Yelp for guidance amidst the plethora of pages of hairstylists, I pick at random, say a little prayer, and settle on this page for Star Espy. No joke, I show up and IT IS THAT SAME CHICK I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG!!! It really is a small world, huh? Huge thanks to Yelp for reuniting me with such an amazing stylist! Star works magic. Don't let her age fool you. She is young, but has talent beyond her years. She's up-to-date on the latest trends, and is patient when listening to EXACTLY what you want. Prices are super reasonable. She gave my hair a subtle balayage (which I never considered before) that now transitions from darker roots to hints of medium/chocolate brown at the ends. Low maintenance with a bit of style, just what I asked for. As of August 2017, Star is located at Vibe Salon & Studios in Oxnard (near the corner of S. Victoria & 5th). She is worth the drive regardless of where you are in Ventura County.

    I moved to the area about 2.5 years ago, and I decided it was finally time to find a hair stylist down here (I used to get my hair done up in Norcal). I was referred to Star by a friend, and it was the best decision I could've made. I have to admit I did look through her instagram pictures of previous clients beforehand, and yes, it only confirmed that she was going to do an amazing job. I have really straight, fine hair, and so I'm really picky about how my hair is cut. Even the smallest mistake could look really obvious. I had my first appointment with Star about a month ago, and I prepared beforehand by taking screenshots of a couple pictures of what I was hoping to transform my hair into: a shorter mid-length from what I had, with texture and movement, and layers. I was surprised (and really excited) when Star recognized the pictures I was showing her, and I knew she was going to do a great job on my hair. She took her time cutting and styling, and it turned out amazing. She listened openly to what I wanted, and really made sure that she was cutting my hair the way I wanted. She was professional, and still super chill and friendly that it was easy to talk to her throughout the entire appointment. I am definitely going back, and I would definitely recommend Star to anyone else. She took such good care of my hair! She is amazing!

    Cool brown balayage on black hair.

    Star is amazing at what she does. I've never been so happy with my hair color. She gave me the most beautiful balayage and I don't think I'll ever go back to my dark hair. She's incredible!!

    Cool blonde partial!

    I always have a hard time finding someone who can do BLONDE well. Most stylists give warm, orange-y foils. I like a cool blonde. Star does a great job! And her prices are reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Freshly done!

    So I'm very picky when it comes to my hair, this is my second time doing a color treatment to it and I LOVED IT. The first time was a horrible experience and my hair was really damaged. I decided to go to star because of all her great work i had seen on her social media page. I went for a darker green and I absolutely love the color and the way my hair has been feeling. For starters, it doesn't feel fried or frizzy. I've gone back to star to get a color redo & I just enjoy her hospitality. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!

    Star is my go too girl when it comes downt to my hair.! i cant just trust anyone. but i know with star im in great hands. my hair always come out looking great! she is so good at what she does and keeps it 100 with everyone. she makes sure your experience is a good one. and makes sure you walk out with a smile. love her love her love her !

    And this is the first time star did my hair chocolate melt
    Cindy P.

    Wow! Star has to be one of the best hairstylists out there. I absolutely love the work she has done on me. The first time I went I got a haircut and hair treatment and I loved it, the hair treatment really did help my hair, it wasn't as frizzy and it was way softer. The times she has done my hair she's done an outstanding job. I will most definitely keeping on going back to her.

    My hairdresser was unavailable for a root touch up so I cold called and spoke with Carol who quoted…read moreme $80 for the job. After the service I mentioned the color was too light and she insisted it wasn't. Even solicited a colleague's opinion (something I learned was common practice in salons with unhappy customers). She stated it looked lighter due to "the lighting " and sent me on my way up charging me an additional $30. Being uncomfortable and conflict avoidant, I paid and tipped 15%. When I got home I took pics of the color in various lighting. Instead of a gray streak, I had a light brown one. She offered to do a repeat however, I did not trust her judgement and gaslighting tendencies. Said I was willing to have a redo by the owner of the shop which she was non-responsive to. She offered a $90 refund less her "product fee". She never replied to my question regarding the price increase. Carol was delightful to converse with during the service rendered. She probably does a fine job with her normal clients. For me and this root job, she missed the mark. Her attempts to convince me it was the right color, just angers me. I communicated with the owner via text after leaving a few VM's. She apologized for the experience and had no comment regarding the increased price. I'm hitting the box and doing it myself if I'm ever in this situation again!

My experience was a 10/10. I'll share more below :) What brought me to Taylor was the fact that my long term stylist had retired suddenly. Sadly I wasn't able to get my original color numbers from that stylist and had the stress of looking for a new hairdresser. Finding a hairstylist in Camarillo was initially rougher than I imagined - so many salons either didn't return my calls or were charging double what my old stylist did. I am so lucky I found Taylor through a mutual friend who is a client of hers and by chance this salon is also in my neighborhood. When I reached out to Taylor on social media she immediately responded. She was so sweet and helpful navigating my questions and made me feel confident that she could mirror the coloring and styling that my old hairdresser did. Taylor also could book me within two weeks AND was the MOST affordable compared to everyone else I spoke to at other salons. Walking into Le Tress Couture salon I felt right at home. The salon itself is darling, super fun - glamorous - yet professional. I was immediately offered water or a mimosa upon walking in. Taylor made me feel like I had known her forever and is beautiful inside and out, I felt so comfortable which is a big deal for me. Taylor is a Pro because I gave her one tiny photo to go off of for my old hair color and ombré effect and she nailed it! Like literally I still can't believe it. Do you know how hard it is to recreate a hair color off an old small photo? But Taylor did it - just shows you how good at the hair arts she is. Taylor really brought my hair back to life and all of my friends were impressed when they saw it. She nailed it and the salon was so cute inside. Loved the girly vibes of everyone just getting along and customers chatting, it's a place you don't mind sitting for an hour or two because it feels like a treat. Again, reasonably priced salon with A+ stylists like Taylor here. I'd highly recommend her and definitely have a new local stylist that I love. I'm already booked with her to be back soon. Next time I promise to take some pictures of the salon itself and update them here with my review. But trust me it's a cute place. Also pro tip they also do facials and have an esthetician here. The prices for facials here on their menu board looked super reasonable and I'm definitely going to come back for a facial in the future. Love that this salon is a one stop shop for hair and skincare. Taylor thank you again so much! You killed it, totally nailed my look and now you have a long time friend / customer. Friends - definitely check this salon out if you've been looking for an A+ fun salon in the 805.

Come in and get your hair cut and prepare to be entertained. This girl has so much personality it doesn't just stop here, she brings it on over to your hair! I came in with hair that was well overdue for a haircut. I have short hair and have never really been able to pick something that has the style I desired. Damarita understood that I wanted something different, yet familiar. She nailed it! I walked out of there so happy with my haircut! That girl is something else. I swear I think she is the latina Edward Scissor hands. I just kept seeing snips of hair flying and knew that it would turn out right. She moved her hands with such ease, definitely knows what she is doing. Don't be like me and park in the wrong parking lot. $19 later I wasn't happy about that. Call her if you need to know where to go. Ring in the New Year with a new style and leave it up to her! :)

Second, no matter how many times I change my hairstyle she takes it to a whole other level!

She has even FIXED every hair flop I have ever experienced when forced to go somewhere else during my travels. One thing I really love about her is her personality and passion for PEOPLE. You show up feeling like Eeyore and she has you leaving-twirling like Mary Poppins out the door! She tells you the truth -what looks good and what does not. Making you feel good about myself is important to her. BONUS -whenever I have changed my style, she proceeds with caution.. meaning she makes sure my cut requests and color are never beyond what "I think I want". Go to Damarita for the professional hair experience and positive energy!
