Adriana was my hairstylist for the last 3 years until I moved out of Santa Barbara. I loved my hair after each haircut. She listens to your preferences and do her best job to achieve the result you want. She is also very friendly. I haven't found a hairstylist yet in my new area that can cut my hair the way Adriana did. Read Less

Sahara did not disappoint. She was pleasant and did a great job of giving me the cut I wanted based on the picture I provided. I was able to make an appointment the same day I called(which was also Valentine's Day). Although $52 for a haircut is a little much for my budget, leaving with exactly what I envisioned wanting for my new hairdo was worth it. If you are interested in doing something drastic, but scared the results may not be what you were after, then I suggest you stop worrying and book an appointment with Sahara. Read Less

Thank you Lizzy! I called cutting edge in the morning and luckily got in the same day with lizzy. I received an awful haircut the day before at another salon so I was hesitant going in. She was very kind and recognized I was hesitant to cut my hair shorter . She went slow in taking length off and made sure I was okay with what she was doing each step of the way and helped guide me to a great hair cut and length! I will be returning Read Less

I love this salon and I love my hair every time I leave this place. Amanda is a color wizard. I love my new short hair. It's exactly what I wanted. I have very thick, wavy hair that even when it was long, Amanda could make look amazing. I won't go anywhere else. I wish I could give it more stars. I love my new cut and color by Amanda. Read Less

Nice salon, normal prices for the territory. I have had four different employees highlight and cut my hair. No bad experiences. I felt my needs were best met by Devon so far so I usually request her. Sometimes they can take me the day I call to make an appointment but if not, I don't have to wait more than 2 days. Recommend! Read Less

After months and months of research on the style and color I wanted, I randomly decided to find a salon in town that could accomodate my needs. I called on a Tuesday at 2pm and was told we can get you in at 3:30 for the appt! Slightly hesitant at the thought of not knowing who how experienced my hairstylistight be I took the plunge. APRIL is brilliant! I showed her my picture of what I was looking for. Long Bob with Balayage. She nailed it! Today at work I received more compliments on my hair than Ive ever recieved in my life! Super friendly, fair pricing and she gives one heck of a head massage while your getting your hair washed! Cant say enough about April, I will definitely be recommending to everyone! Read Less

I went to see Sarah. I am a new client, and I decided to walk in and get a haircut. Sarah was amazing from start to finish. She listened to what I wanted and gave the exact  haircut I wanted. Very pleasant and fun atmosphere. Read Less

I've been going to this salon since I moved to Goleta about a year and a half ago.  Somehow I ended up with Nicole who has been somewhat nice, but often unavailable. Recently, I needed a quick color appt. for an event.  Nicole was on vacation so I ended up with Amanda. My hair looked nice, but two hours later bloody scabs started popping up all over my scalp. The back of my ears and hairline were on fire.  I waited a few days and then called the salon.  I left a message for Nicole for suggestions. Five days later, she hasn't called me back.  I paid $180 for this misery.  Two weeks later I'm still itching like crazy.  Calling the dermatologist Monday.  I will never go back to this salon.

This is the best salon in all of SB County. When I moved here from West L.A. in 1985, I would travel back to my stylist in Brentwood because their was no one "up here" that came close to the high standards, craftsmanship, creativity and expertise that The Cutting Edge offers. They have evolved over the years to become a full service salon -- with the very best in service. I am so happy they are here!!! Read Less

Took my 15 year old daughter to get a manicure with Cecilia Ramirez and my daughter loved  it . Cecilia painted a solid color with an accent glitter nail on each hand. Awesome job Cecilia .  We will be going back .  Cecilia also does hair and my daughter wants her to do her hair color .... love when technicians can do more thank one skill... Read Less

I received a blowout from Jessica who was so knowledgeable and friendly. My hair has some breakage due to coloring it myself for years. Jessica was SO gentle. She put me at such ease I had to fight the urge to nap while she worked. I left with some great tips on how to take better care of my hair and received complements on the way she styled it for days after. Read Less

I use Paul Mitchell products and decided to purchase them closer to my job. The receptionist did not give me the time of day, even after I had the products on the counter. I walked out. So I tried them 2 more times thinking everybody has bad days....same bad customer service. Again I walked out. Read Less

Amanda did a great job. I had a full face wax (or what ever parts needed it) and the products were gentle enough so my face did not break out and I did not have any other side affects. I highly recommend.....:-) Read Less

I came in last weekend for a haircut and some waxing services and I could not be happier. Devyn cut my hair and quickly took me from a grown out, no real style look to cute and manageable. She was friendly, fast, and skilled.  I'll be back for sure!Melissa waxed my legs and eyebrows, she also tinted my brows and eyelashes. She is AMAZING!  There was almost no redness afterwards, and it was nearly painless. The shape and color of my brows came out perfect, which isn't easy to accomplish on a natural blonde like me. Thank you Thank you both for making me feel like a new woman. Read Less

I came in yesterday after I had be dying my own hair purple for a few months, I tried to remove it myself but the "Color Oops" that I used turned my head a gross grey/green color that looked horrible! Devyn spent the next three hours trying to fix it! She was AMAZING! She made sure I was okay with everything she was doing and she took the time to do it right! I had used her only once before about 6 months ago for a simple hair cut and highlighting, yet she remembered my natural hair color and matched it back almost perfectly! She saved my life and my hair looks amazing! Would HIGHLY recommend! Read Less

Their customer service needs improvement. It's hard to find a place that can accommodate to your schedule when you work. I think if you want to keep clients you need to care about them, their hair type, hair history etc. The two times I was able to find a good day for me to go in, I felt like I was just another person in their line of customers. Don't we all dream of having THE hairstylist who knows your hair better than yourself? A girl can dream. Unfortunately, I found no good connection here. My last attempt to make an appointment that worked with my schedule failed. I was a few minutes late and they canceled the whole thing. It was upsetting on top of the stressful day I was already having, but just a reminder that some of these stylists might not be okay with you running late at all. Plan ahead and arrive before your appointment.My adventure to find a salon for my curly hair will continue elsewhere. Read Less

No stars. This salon is the worst. I asked them to use ola plex they fried my hair. I don't reccomend going here. Adrienne Messed up my hair. April messed it up. The owner is completely unprofessional and unfair. It's quite unjust the way they treat their customers. If you want your hair done right go to Walter Claudio it's half the price and they use better products. Read Less

I had Adrianna for a stylist and she completely messed up my hair. I went in to make my hair lighter and she ended up making it uneven, striped, used dye that fried my thin hair, put it under a dryer, and left it on wayy too long. It was the worst experience I've ever had at a salon and a very expensive fix when I went to a place where they rectified the mess that was my hair as best they could. Paid $200 for a completely shitty dye job that didn't get better even when I asked her to fix it. Will never consider going back here. Read Less

Such great hair salon they happen to have an opening when I came in, made me feel welcomed and cater to all my needs. Very friendly staff fast and efficient. Over all my experience was excellent and not to mention I love, love my new hair cut by Norma. If your looking for a new hair salon look no more this is one of the best by far. Read Less

I just had a massage at the Cutting Edge yesterday. All the staff were very friendly and the massage by Amanda was excellent. She not only worked on the knot I knew was in my back, but also several others I was not even aware were there. It was a great way to de-stress from the holidays. The Salon is also very clean and inviting. I highly recommend this place for a massage, haircut, or facial. Read Less

We were driving from out of town to attend a wedding but didn't want our hair ruin by the long drive. We were originally going to stop in Santa Barbara, where the wedding was being held, but after looking at the outrageous prices we decided to stop here instead. Best decision ever!They were so much more affordable than the salons we called in Santa Barbara, and they are less than 10 minutes away from Santa Barbara! The salon was clean and the staff was so friendly. Our stylists knew we were from out of town, and probably wouldn't be in the area again, and they were still so pleasant and nice.They washed, blow dried, and curled our hair, and it looked great! Even after a long night of dancing! We couldn't have asked for better. The locals are lucky to have such a modern, friendly, and affordable salon in their community! Read Less

I starting coming to Cutting Edge on the recommendation of a client. I've been about 4 times now, always see Steffani and always have a good experience. Staff is always friendly and accommodating, the whole salon is meticulously clean, and my haircuts and color are always done well. Prices are reasonable given the SB area. Appointments are easy to come by. Location convenient. I have no reason to go elsewhere and if you're looking for a new place to "get your hair did" I'd strongly recommend them, and Steffani in particular. She gives a great consultation to really understand what you want and help you understand what your hair is capable of, and more than willing to go as tame or trendy as you'd like. Read Less

I really like this place.The worst part of moving is finding your new go-to places, and finding a hair stylist is the worst. I went to the Ulta in Goleta twice and was disappointed both times. Finally, after going to Trader Joe's and seeing how busy the Cutting Edge Hair Salon was I decided to give it a try.I made a random appointment and Stefani was my stylist. Stefani did an awesome job and was very nice and personable. My hair is thick and I just wanted a simple cut with layers. She did the wash, haircut, blow dry and straightening and it came to $47. I think this is a really reasonable price (Ulta's price is comparable and both times the stylist told me they "preferred cutting dry" so didn't wash my hair, which to me is part of the experience). The salon itself is clean with high ceilings and modern equipment. I had a great experience and I will definitely be back. Read Less

My three children (6,8, & 13) and I have been getting haircuts at Cutting Edge for three years and are more than pleased with the stylists. Clean, friendly and efficient atmosphere. Easy to park and do other errands. Great family salon. (eye brow waxing services also excellent). Read Less

This is a brief review about their waxing service. I've never had my hair cut here before.The salon is located in a plaza I frequently visit (TJ's is right next door after all) so one day I decided to pop in and see if they do eyebrow waxing. First, their price for waxing is a lot more than the usual nail salons, which is around the $10-12 range. It's $19 here and with tip, you're looking at spending over $20. Despite the higher price tag, I do like this place! They use stripless hard wax. The wax is "grippier" on the hairs and as it hardens on your face, the esthetician can peel it right off. I find the hard wax to be gentler on the skin and it doesn't hurt as much. This is probably good for those who have lower tolerance for pain.I've been here twice and both times the services are excellent. The girls that did my brows always took their time and made sure to get all the tiny stray hairs. My brows always come out nicely shaped and very clean. Because they do a good job, I can go a bit longer before my next waxing appointment.The best part is there's no redness because the wax is gentler and the estheticians always made sure to sooth my skin after the waxing.Overall, their waxing services are great if you're willing to spend a little bit more. I would definitely come back again. Read Less

I have only had one bad experience and it was with another stylist. I had to ask her several times to recut my daughters hair and it was still not done correctly. However, Joanne is awesome. I have never had to ask her to re-do my hair or my childrens hair. She does exactly what I ask every time. And sometimes when I give her free reign she still does a great job as well! I only go to Joanne because she is a professional, sharp, personable and honest stylist that strives to give quality service every time no matter who it is. I highly recommend visiting Joanne at Cutting Edge! Read Less
