Chanelle is truly an artist. Whether I wear my hair curly or blown out, she somehow makes it look incredible every time. Her cuts are consistently spot-on, and her coloring technique is so skilled and thoughtful. What sets her apart even more is how much she genuinely cares about her clients. When I started having reactions to hair color, she took the time to perform skin tests with different color options until we found something that worked safely for me. She never rushed the process and made me feel completely cared for. I'm so grateful to have found someone with both exceptional talent and such a high level of professionalism and kindness. I can't recommend Chanelle enough! Thank you, Marissa read more

I tried for 5 days to get a reservation and nobody ever responded so I booked elsewhere! Service requested but never delivered! So disappointed! read more

I love Chanelle, she's amazing. I want her to cut my hair forever. I really like this space too, lots of parking nearby is a huge plus.

Thairapy is NOT closed. Appointments are made with each stylist or by email. I was there the other day and they are working on the issue about being closed. read more

I've been seeing Saki for several years for color and cuts. She is so talented and easy to work with, she listens and is very trustworthy! I just brought my daughter to her as well for a pixie cut and it came out great. Highly recommend Thairapy for a relaxing and reliable salon experience. read more

Lupe is amazing. She tackles my gray and my hair is always silky. I highly recommend her services.

Thairapy is a very pleasant and modern environment with extremely talented stylists. My personal choice is Saki, an extremely talented professional with a sparkling personality. I waited through her maternity leave and after today's appointment remembered why. It's conveniently located across from the La Cumbre plaza and upper State Target with adequate parking. Full service for both men and women. A five star experience awaits at very reasonable rates. read more

Erik is the best! So talented and knowledgeable. Love his vibe and chill demeanor. I am loving my hair so much after baby lights, color, tone and cut. Can't wait to go back! read more

Thank you so much Tiffany for my fresh cut and dye. She was so sweet and did an amazing job. I was actually recommended this place by a coworker friend, and can now recommend it myself! read more

Sadly after numerous attempts to get an appointment by email, phone and text we were unable to connect, not sure if they are short staffed or there is a communication issue, but unfortunately it was not meant to be. read more

Chelsea is a great hair stylist! She listens, she's nice, and she's good. She's great with color as well as haircuts. And their new salon is so chill. read more

Unfortunately, I tried to give this spot a try on 2 occasions due to location but the experience was unprofessional with a lack of respect for customers' time. Bad vibes and energy here too. There are so many other options with excellent service and great vibes, thankfully. read more

So of course I needed to get my hair done for the holidays, and since my hairdresser Karinna just moved here, I'm glad I was able to continue being he client. I totally love this new place. First of all it's only 5 minutes to my home, and location is amazing!! So great to have Peet's coffee next door, Karinna while my hair was under heater she went to get me coffee!! The salon itself is cute, waiting area is super cute with an assortment of candies to help yourself, not a candy person so I skipped all that but it's just cute. Another thing I really liked was having the color area separate than hairdressers station. And of course I love the work Karinna did on my hair, I told her I wanted to go a bit darker for winter and I totally love my new hair color!!!looking forward to my next hair service!!! read more

Thairapy Salon - Hair color area, Peet's coffee next door!! - Hair Salons Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

To preface my review, I'm rating Thairapy off of 1: the actual haircut, 2: cost, and 3: service. - I got my haircut done by Chamise. All in all, from walking in the door to walking out, the process took 24 minutes. This includes the wash, cut, and blow dry. Now, I did get a pretty basic haircut but I paid $75 total and I feel like if I'm spending that much on a haircut, then I should at least have spent 30 minutes in there. I'm happy with my haircut, but it's not incredible. I give it a 4/5. - cost: 1/5. Like I said, $75 for roughly ~25 minutes just feels hasty. I should mention that I was 15 minutes late due to post-work traffic, but as soon as I walked in Chamise seemed agitated. I apologized but she told me she'll "blow dry it halfway" to save time. Damn, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that me being late would diminish the service I was receiving. I didn't need it blow dried at all, but I think she should have at least asked if it was okay to do so rather than just telling me. Conversation was dull, not that I cared, but it just felt a bit awkward after I arrived late. - service: 1/5. After seeing all the 5-star reviews I was so determined to book here. Mistake. I had to call Thairapy 3 separate times on several occasions, message them on FB, and DM them on Instagram twice before I could actually get a response. Their website doesn't have an online booking system either. Their website states that haircuts PLUS style are $50 but for some reason Chamise was $70, and another stylist, Kat, was $75. I received a haircut and zero styling... So be wary of that. Their availability wasn't the greatest, but they are flexible if you have to reschedule. Actually reaching them for an appointment was just frustrating. Overall, would I come here again? I think I'll try out some neighboring salons before that happens. read more

I was recently in SB on a work trip, stopped into this cute little place and sat down in Erik's chair. I explained what I wanted, he made some suggestions, asked some questions and went to work. He is a master with those razor and sheers. I absolutely loooove the end product. To top it off, he cut it to where I can put my hair up in a clip (as I normally do and when I let it down, it curls and falls so pretty!! Perfect and feels so light without losing the length. Thank you! I will be back to see you soon! read more

See all

I just had my first visit here and I'm thoroughly impressed. Karina is not only incredibly sweet and kind but she is a very skilled hairstylist. She really knows her stuff. I feel lucky to have found her and looking forward to my next appointment. read more

This salon does everything. Amazing service, great prices, and professional care. I myself do not color my hair but from going to this salon since it's opening I have seen so many gorgeous colors and looks come out of this amazing salon. Chelsea is amazing. Easy to talk to, open, and honest. She is able to create looks and cuts with ease! She gave me the best pixie cuts and I was truly so sad to have to find a new stylist after being relocated to a different city for work. Chelsea is a hair artist that truly is an expert in her craft. Beautiful location near la cumbre plaza with huge windows to create a lovely ambiance throughout the salon. Also extremely clean!! Thank you so much, Chelsea, for giving me the coolest hair and being an awesome human to be around. read more

Finally found a hair stylist that I absolutely adore! Erik has been there for all my hair needs and is an absolute pleasure to talk to. If you want an honest opinion on something this man will let you know about what works and what doesn't work. Also, has amazing advice on upkeep! He books up quick so I would advise you call and make an appointment 2-3 weeks in advance. read more

I've been having my haircut with Karina for the pass couple of years. She bring life to my hair every time I go in for my usual haircut. I have natural curly hair that I style with hot tools periodically. No chemical treatments and no hair color treatments. Karina is very knowledgeable and always remembers my hair and just knows what's to do. What I love the most is how honest she is about what will work and does for your hair. She is so kind and in no way is her honesty brutal, she simply cares about you and your hair. I look forward to my haircut appointments, it's just a therapy session all in one. Everyone at this salon is so welcoming and the salon it self is clean and inviting. Products they carry are amazing, I highly recommend buying their products with the help of your stylist. Thank you Karina for keep my hair healthy!!! read more

On my mom's recommendation, I brought Gabe a big challenge. I have been growing out my grays for over a year. A majority of my hair is still brunette but with my wedding day on the horizon I wasn't sure how to embrace my "mature" hair to fit the occasion. Gabe totally put me at ease and expertly blended my face-framing grays softly with my other natural colors. It was so affirming to talk with him about my wedding style and hair goals and watch him work his magic to make the dream come alive. He is an artist and went above and beyond in helping me look my best for the Big Day! I can't recommend him enough! read more

Every time, I leave her chair looking and feeling beautiful. Check out her IG for gorgeous transformations! read more
