I love this place so much, I drive 40 minutes from Moorpark regularly to get my hair and nails done. Kia is a Vivid Hair Specialist who has transformed my hair from its natural brown to teal, then pink with extensions, and now purple with a silver money piece! She's super sweet, and she's always been very realistic with me about what kind of maintenance certain colors or cuts need. (Despite how it may seem, I like low maintenance even though I still want fun colors.) For the time and service she provides, her rates are very reasonable. I've looked forward to every visit with her, and I feel like my self-confidence has grown not just because of my beautiful hair but also because of her positive and empowering outlook! Ariel is an amazing nail artist! I was never one to get my nails done regularly (low maintenance, like I wrote), but when I was getting my hair done, I'd see Kia's nails (always done by Ariel), and they were literally fantastic. So I gave it a whirl and got some fancy nails for a business trip. And then I asked for some fun nails for a wedding. The more I visited the salon, the more I enjoyed the ladies that worked there and the energy that I felt, and the more I wanted to come back. Now I come every 4 weeks for Ariel to do my nails. Each time I come with an idea or inspiration from Instagram, and Ariel makes magic. She's a true artist! I've never had her repeat a design in the nearly 2 years I've been going, and she's never once told me she wasn't capable of doing something I asked for. Even when I've arrived late (more often than I care to admit), she's been wonderfully kind and patient with me. Between these two wonderful ladies, I feel more beautiful and feminine than ever. I truly feel like they're my friends, and I'm so grateful to have found them and that I get to benefit from their expertise. read more

Super cute staff and vibe from the moment you walk in. I can't say much about most of their services because I have only had my extensions done there by the owner Alyssa. Alyssa is amazing. She is knowledgeable and involved but really down to earth and funny. They do have a website and social media and are still pretty new but the staff aren't new to the business. The owner even opened up a second location recently which I'm really excited to check out. She did a good job on my extensions. I went from shoulder length hair to Rapunzel hair for the first time ever and she made it easy and almost pain free. We did a mix of colors and sew in wefts and tape ins. She is very up front about cost and brands and requires a (free) consultation with you beforehand. She also allows Afterpay for the hair itself which is pretty cool. At the very least I recommend checking the salon out and talking to Alyssa if you are looking for extensions. read more

I cannot recommend this salon and the wonderful stylists here highly enough! I was interested in getting an undercut and so got connected with Perris and she is the absolute best. I'm so happy with my new style and have received so many compliments from friends, family, and strangers. So very grateful for her. Before Perris, I initially came to this salon for Em who is also amazing. She does the greatest dry cuts and I always loved how my hair looked after cuts from her. It seems you can't go wrong at this salon. read more

My goodness I have been meaning to write this review! My daughter had an appointment with Em Villasenor for her first cut ever. Em talked to my daughter about what she would like her hair to look like. She even showed her examples on her iPad to help her decide. She really took her time to make her feel comfortable and confident with her choices and she was very caring. I LOVED that she didn't come to me for what her hair should look like. I felt that this was so important and it really meant a lot. My daughter left feeling fabulous and powerful! Thank you Em for making our little ladies first cut such a wonderful experience! read more

This place was beyond amazing! I got a haircut from Justine and it is by far the best haircut I've had in years. I feel like myself again. She took the time to make sure my haircut was exactly how I wanted it. I will be back and will bring my daughters here as well. read more

Owner is such a wonderful hearted person, she helped me find a stylist in my time of need! Amelia was the one who took my request. She is an amazing person, and she took her time. Explain products the product did not ruin my hair. If anything, it feels very soft. And that's not comon with bleach. But I am 100% satisfied and I will be keeping her as my hairstylist. I highly recommend Vain salon in Ventura Amelia is a wonderful stylist! She is a keeper! read more

Natalie! She did a color correction on me from brown box dye to bright blonde: first we had a consultation where she really took her time looking at my hair and identifying the different bandings of hair color. She had great pay and time transparency and offered me an appointment the next week. When I came in for the appointment she again took her time to walk me through the process and used really gentle bleach. She made sure to get every strand coated then always checked on the development of the bleach. In the end she trimmed my hair, toned, and gave me a blowout. She is very nice and easy to talk to. read more

I went to Vain for the very first time on Thursday, June 1st because I made standing hair appts quarterly with my hairstylist, Kia, of the last 2 years! And trust me, it's the best decision of my life! I'm horrible at self-care these days, but I made a pact with my stylist that I'd come see her more regularly. So, for instance, if my hair appt was Jan. 1st, the next one would be April 1st, July 1st & so on. Each appt is when I'll decide if I want both a cut & color, or just color, because of my ever growing gray hairs. Previous to Vain, I used to go to Achitexture in Ventura, where Kia was at, but now she is here! So, of course I followed her. Vain is located in the same plaza as Ralph's, Sumo & LA Fitness. It's towards the back of the plaza. There is plenty of parking & each space is spacious. When you walk in you'll be blown away from the amazing decor! The beautiful dark floors that are black, bronze & glitter, the wallpapered walls are dramatic & bold, so much gorgeous & interesting art on the walls, clean, lux & glamorous. You honestly feel transported! The Ladies are warm, friendly, professional, not stuck up or pretentious at all. They are all so welcoming & it's the nicest salon I've probably ever set foot in! They offer you a choice of beverages! And if they have it, they'll offer you an adult beverage! On my appt I got a color & highlights for the summer. I was able to relax & destress! Kia is amazing. Not only is she a pro at what she does, she puts you at ease & she is always so fun to talk to! She is seriously like my therapist, but we can laugh together. EACH & EVERY TIME I LEAVE AN APPT WITH HER, SHE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A GODDESS! Honestly, their prices are reasonable & taking care of yourself & your appearance is an investment in yourself! I know that my stylist has her own loyal following, so I'm sure the other ladies do too! And it's pretty evident in how beautiful & stylish each stylist is. Make your next hair appointment now! I predict that they will only get busier. read more

First off, Vain is such a welcoming and eclectic vibe. Just entering the salon, you can tell a lot went into the establishment Secondly, and most important to my experience here, Beatrice is a perm magician, and the results were amazing and self esteem boosting. read more

Very friendly place! Great vibe! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. My stylist was Perris and she was very warm and talkative which is great because so am I. She did a fantastic job cutting my hair. She listened to what I wanted and did everything down to every detail. I asked if she was good at blonding but she said she is better at vibrant colors. So if you need vibrant colors, Perris is your stylist!! read more

I've been seeing Alyssa for almost 4 years now and all I can say is she's the real deal. She took me from being a redhead to a blonde in just a couple of sessions! She also gave me my first set of 20" extensions and they were PERFECT!! Alyssa's vast knowledge for her products, technique, and overall color shows in the final product. She cares about you as a person and about what you want to feel your most beautiful. She really does do gud hair! She's also created a salon space where you feel comfortable and happy while you're getting beautified. I always look forward to our chats, and chatting with other stylists! It's like a family, and she's really created something special with Vain. This is the best salon in Ventura County! Easy! read more

When I first saw Alyssa 3 years ago my hair had been fried off from a bad bleaching job. She soon got my hair looking the best it's ever looked in my life! I get compliments on my hair daily and I will always recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hair stylist. Besides being incredibly talented with hair, she's a great person. Easy to talk to and I truly feel like her salon is a safe place. 10/10 would recommend every time! I also get my nails done by Ariel once a month and she's incredible! I've never been disappointed. She can do pretty much any design you ask for. She's the best nail tech I've ever been to. 10/10 would also recommend every time! read more

BEST HAIRCUT IVE EVER GOTTEN !! I got my hair cut about 5 months ago and it is the best I've ever had. Em did an amazing job and it looks so good STILL I don't even really have to do anything to my hair when I get out of the shower bc of the way she cut it. Before she cut my hair she went into great detail about my hair and it made me feel confident in what she was going to do and taken care of. I still get so many compliments and even another hair stylist said how much of an amazing job she did. Will 100% go back read more

Kia is your gal!! I personally haven't utilized her extensions services but my sister has and she's amazing at making it look natural, matching the colors for a seamless blend, and adding either fullness, extreme length, or both!! I swear there's nothing she can't do!! read more

So excited about VAIN!! Looove the upscale atmosphere and friendly faces!! I have spent almost 10 years in Alyssa's chair and she has always made me feel so at home and taken incredible care of my hair through all different styles, colors, and life phases. She takes time to teach her clients how to care for and style their hair themselves, explaining her products and techniques. Not to mention the therapy session she throws in for free! Lol I always leave Alyssa's chair happy!! I have also been to Justine for a cut and highlights and was impressed with her work and her happy go lucky vibe. Almost like we'd been friends for years! Can't recommend VAIN enough. 10 stars. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience here. Alyssa and Justine are fantastic and they make each of their clients feel cherished. I've been going to Alyssa since I moved here last year. My hair had so much breakage up to my root and Alyssa has been a miracle worker. She is really a master colorist and does phenomenal extensions. Just do yourself a favor and check out her Instagram. I get so many compliments and the extensions blend so naturally that people can't believe it's not my real hair. My husband thought he was going bald, but since getting his haircut with Justine, we don't notice any thinning or bald spots. It has significantly improved his confidence. read more
