As a salon owner I am extra choosy when it comes to trusting someone with my hair. I visit Santa Barbara all the time but it's been years since I had a trusted stylist here. Sima is an absolute genius and if I could I'd whisk her back to Nashville with me! She so expertly developed a plan for both cut and color that she knew would fit my style, face shape, lifestyle, and profession and I couldn't be happier. There's nothing like the confidence that comes from great hair and I am so thankful to have found this gem. I will be back as soon as I can!

What a hidden gem!!! I was fortunate to find Fay and team while I was in a really big transition from colored brown to my natural 80% grey! Only the most talented and trusted hair artists like Fay can pull this kind of highlight blending off, believe me. She cooled down my brassy highlights and toned the brown to ashy. This strategy, that she seemed to know innately ,really helped me to tolerate the grey growth as highlights worked really well as she was very talented and they look completely natural! Before she did the color a cool updated cut helped kick things off and worked really well with my style - like I was her old friend! Crazy great talent here and she was training a young lady and I really loved that too and the whole vibe!!! Thank you Fay and team!! You guys rock!

I rarely write reviews, but I have to share my awesome haircut experience with Sima. Let me start by saying that I'm a 27 year old man and moved to Santa Barbara last year. I've been struggling to find a haircut facility/artist that could cut my hair the way I wanted. I tried a couple of barber shops and salons prior to this one, but was never truly satisfied until I now. Sima was awesome from the moment I stepped through the door. She offered me coffee and listened to my requests while providing feedback. She asked lots of questions and made sure she fully understood what I wanted. As she was cutting my hair, she explained what she was doing and the effects of each cutting tool and technique she was using. After the haircut, we finished up with a shampoo, head massage, and a styling. One of the best haircuts I've gotten in a long time. I will be making her my exclusive stylist in Santa Barbara. I paid $50 + tip and it was worth every penny.
