19 Blue Salon

I go here especially to see my wonderful hair stylist, Danielle! I have very long hair and she always knows just what to do with it.
She does amazing work with balyage. I had virgin hair before I came to her and was nervous about dying my hair but it was the best decision ever! I get compliments all the time and people asking me about my cut and color.
Danielle also gives the best shampoos and blow drys. She never leaves out the refreshing massage and always makes my hair look like it’s straight out of a magazine.
The overall feel of the salon really fits downtown Santa Barbara. It is very clean, high ceilings, and bohemian/​nautical. It is a very trendy salon and right next to state street.
I highly recommend Danielle and 19 Blue Salon :)

All the women here are absolutely amazing. Of course I’ll shout out to my two favorites Kelleigh and Ann. They both have done amazing work on my hair. They’ve taken me from a dark brown to a honey blonde and I couldn’t be happier!

kaleigh is awesome. so easy to talk to. it makes time fly and when you have as much as i do and youre getting a full head of highlights, that is always a nice thing. as for the highlights, they are perfect. she did exactly what i asked and i already have my next appt booked. for the blondes out there. i prefer the super pale, cool blonde shade of highlights and kaleigh nailed it. the coverage was impressive, too. if my hair is half up, in a low or high ponytail, there are no gaps of brown showing. the cherry on top is her prices are excellent. (and the salon is super cute! good coffee and good music.)

My girlfriend and I LOVE 19 Blue Salon. Kaleigh works miracles on hair and we trust only her with our locks. Highly recommended, she’s amazing!!!

Had exceptional service from Kaleigh. She did my post-​wedding hair cut and my color treatment. It was my first time ever coloring my hair and I was completely satisfied with the results. I showed Kaleigh just a few Pinterest pictures and she ran away with it. I had very little direction to give her so I was a bit nervous, but she was patient and understanding and explained the process to me every step of the way. I get compliments from everyoneeee on my hair. :) Thus, make an appointment at 19 Blue and ask for Kaleigh. Although I live in Los Angeles, I am thinking about planning a girl’s getaway to SB again, just so I can get my hair done at 19 Blue. :D

19 blue is the best salon in SB! Kellie does such an amazing job with cut and color, and she’s so fun to chat with. My hair was really damaged from years of coloring, and within just a few appointments with Kellie she got my hair to a beautiful color and finally healthy. The salon has such a nice vibe and everyone that works there is really sweet. Out of all the salons I’ve tried in SB this is hands down the best one and I will never take my business anywhere else.

I just had my hair cut by Pete and I love it! I didn’t have a clear idea of what I wanted but he talked to me about some possibilities and ended up giving me a super cute cut. I’ll definitely be back next time I need a cut :) thanks again!

I love Kellie B! She gives the best shampoo/​head massage, and cuts my hair so it looks good when I have to do it once I get home :) She cut off over 9 inches last time and it felt so good, now I’m going back to have more cut off!
The salon has a nice atmosphere, magazine selection, and refreshments. Highly recommend Kellie!

Kaleigh is incredibly talented– with both color & cut! I came to her after a tragic cut & color by a salon in SF & she fixed my coif! She’s beyond sweet & very entertaining

I’ve been going to 19 Blue for a few years now, and although I think you’re in pretty good hands with just about everyone there, I highly recommend Kim. I think she’s only there one or two days a week, but if you can get in with her she’s great with both cut and color. She always listens to exactly what I want and is honest and upfront on whether what I’m looking for is attainable or not. She also always takes her time and never makes you feel like you were rushed out of the chair for her next client. She’s awesome!

If you’re looking for the perfect ombré, go to Tawny. Not only is she an amazing person to talk to, but her color skills are out of this world. My hair has never looked better! Out of all the salons I’ve tried in Santa Barbara, 19 blue has changed my hair so much for the better!

I’ve had Kaleigh cut my hair 3 times and she does a perfect job everytime! She remembers exactly how I like it cut. She is always very sweet and fun to talk to! She always makes me a complimentary coffee too which I enjoy being the coffee lover I am. I will be taking my 3 year old soon to her for his much needed haircut before he starts preschool and Kaleigh is my girl for the job! Thanks Kaleigh!

I’ve had Kaleigh do my hair twice now, and she is just awesome! I love my color and get tons of compliments! She is really talented and was very gracious, even with my OCD! Bonus: she also pours a nice glass of bubbly for added enjoyment. Treat yoself, go to 19 Blue!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! I am new to Santa Barbara and before today, I had never dyed/​bleached/​colored my hair, but i decided it was time for a change. I did a fair ammount of research on Unilocal prior to making an appointment and 19 Blue’s ratings were high. So I decided to go for it! This salon is so cute and the staff was inviting from the moment I walked in. KELLY did a FANTASTIC job! I was so afraid to color my hair, but i showed her a picture and she did exactly what i wanted! I have long, THICK hair and Kelly worked with patience and percision the entire time. Ann (the owner) made it a point to come over and talk to us while Kelly was working – I would trust BOTH of them to do my hair. Their work is AMAZING. I will be reffering all of my friends to 19 Blue Salon from here on out :)

Went in to get an ombré done by Savanna. She is absolutely amazing! I was a little scared of having my hair dyed blonder, but it turned out amazing and exactly how I wanted it too. I’ll definitely be coming back when I need my hair done again :)

I LOVE coming to 19 Blue to get my hair done! I love the vibe in the salon, everyone is super friendly and attentive. I’m always offered something to drink when I walk in, and they always have the yummiest saltwater taffy that I eat too much of. Oh, and the selection of magazines is out of control!
I live in San Francisco, but come down to Santa Barbara to get my hair done with Monique quite often and have been for the last ten years! She is so funny, easy going and willing to do what I want her to do to my hair so I really love going to her because I leave beyond satisfied. I also love that she is always willing to squeeze me in, even if I only call a few days before. She is always looking to give her clients the best experience possible and that is honestly all I look for in a hair stylist.
I just got my hair extensions put in for a fraction of what other salons in Santa Barbara are charging and they look AWESOME! She has been doing my hair extensions since she worked at Bamboo, and I wouldn’t have anyone else do them for me. If you are looking for someone who is committed to giving you the best, I’d say go to Monique! You will not regret it!!!

Great salon. I went in July because I was overdue for color. I was visiting Santa Barbara and needed hair help. The salon was nearby so I booked an appointment. So it’s the end of August and never, ever has my color lasted this long. I had a great experience for never having been there before and I would go again. Or maybe I need to move… Ha!
Who was my master stylist magician? Can’t recall her name, but honestly everyone seemed competent and capable. Friendly atmosphere and cool shop. Also, good products I have never seen anywhere else.
Thanks!

I have been coming to 19 Blue for the last 4 years, my stylist is Savannah Weninger, and I couldn’t be happier. The staff is always friendly, and really make you feel welcome. You’re always offered a beverage after you check in — everyone is so polite!
I have a lot of long curly hair, my haircuts (with a wash and blow dry) have always been $ 45. Savannah came recommended to me by a coworker and I always refer people to her. Even if I can only make it in every few months she knows exactly how I like my hair trimmed and styled. She’s an amazing stylist — always has a new product for me to try out.
The salon is very relaxing and has the perfect laid back Santa Barbara vibe. It’s a great place to spend an hour!

Last fall I wanted to go for a big change from my natural dirty-​blonde hair to auburn, and I had yet (in my four years here) to find a place in SB I really liked. I had looked into 19 Blue and one other place, called about appointments/​availability, and honestly was leaning toward the other place, but I wanted to do it ASAP and 19 Blue had the soonest slot available.
I am SO glad it worked out that way, because Kim is the BEST stylist I’ve ever allowed to mess with my hair! She is sweet and genuine (which makes long appointments so much nicer versus the more common fake or rude stylists I’ve dealt with). She listens to what I want and gives thoughtful advice when I ask for it. She never rushes through an appointment; she is careful, meticulous and always does a great job making sure the lengths match on each side, the layers aren’t uneven or too bulky or too thin, etc.
Last night I went in to do another BIG change — this time, donating ten inches and going BLONDE! I wasn’t nervous at all, and my hair turned out even better than I had hoped!
The only reason I can’t give five stars is that I’ve had some issues with the receptionist (s) when I call to make or adjust appointments. My name isn’t super common, so I understand when people don’t understand me over the phone, but I’ve spelled it out and still been written down as «Cataba» instead of Tabitha. To their credit, though, my last couple appointment setup calls have been much more successful and pleasant.
Seriously, if you’re looking for a great place to make your «hair home» — this is it. I’ve also had a cut and color done by Shanna, and she is excellent as well. I personally prefer Kim because she knows my hair now that I’ve been with her awhile, but I’m sure Shanna and everyone else at the salon is top notch!

I met a girl who works there at a party last year and thought what the hell, why not give 19 Blue a try for my wedding ‘do consultation.
I met with Anne who is a stylist there and found her to be so much fun and knowledgable and just an all around great stylist. The place is a good mix of artsy meets professional. Great gals with great style.
I was impressed with the style I left with and that much more excited for the my next appointment Anne.
I have had some pretty scary experiences at salons and this one was just what i needed to put all those fears to rest.
If I can find something better to write about this place, then I will.
