Studio Brit

I walked in with a bad red dye job and Phillip sorted me out. He was highly recommended by friends and he didn’t let down. Patient, talented, and funny. I plan on going back and I’m am an extremely tough customer. Studio Brit can handle anything!

I went in with high expectations for this salon. I asked for a very short hair cut (almost a pixie). The hairdresser gave a great shampoo and conditioning and spent the next hour on my hair. The front looked good but I was left with a mullet in the back that I later discovered at home. Towards the end of the haircut another client walked in and I feel like that’s why he rushed through to finish the job. He didn’t even offer to dry or straighten my hair and only used products to style. I ended up walking out the door with semi wet hair in the early chilly morning.
As it was the first time I had gone this short I was very excited to see the results, but all I could see at home was the ugly mullet that I had to cut with my own scissors. I’ve been growing my hair out ever since. The cropped haircut that I asked for could have been done much better.

Aja («Asia») Lopez was incredible. On the first visit, she cut and styled my hair like she had been doing it for years. She has great energy and is very professional yet personable. Great experience!

Jenae is awesome and does the best highlights in town! Thank you!

Got a cut & partial highlights with Jenae. She was absolutely wonderful to speak with, but of course it was the final product that really impressed me. She was more than willing to go above and beyond to give me the look I was going for. Personable, talented, and located extremely conveniently downtown. Everyone else in the salon is a pleasure to be around as well, so you really can’t lose!

Shamefully, I had not had a hair cut in more than a a year before I stopped into Studio Brit today on a whim. I am so glad that I did! I was fit in as a walk in, and Jenae did a fabulous job! I will no doubt be back to Studio Brit in the near future. Thank you Jenae and Studio Brit!

Aja Lopez was amazing. She not only did a great job styling my daughter’s hair, but she needs to be recognized for being such a nice person. I had my hair done at another salon and it turned out badly.
She fixed my hair on the spot, no appointment and just made me feel great. I can’t thank her enough.
She made my day !

Jenae is Amazing! I recently purchased her groupon, and am so happy that I did! I have been into Studio Brit before many times with to get services from Philip (the owner) I even followed him from the salon he used to work at, so I knew that anyone who works with him, has to be great. The groupon was for a haircut, deep conditioning, blow dry and style. I have naturally curly hair, so I’m always hesitant going to new people for a cut. Jenae made sure she knew exactly how much I wanted cut off before she did anything. She also walked me through every step and showed me tips on how to get my hair salon straight. Another thing I loved about her, was that she was extremely friendly! It was like one of my best friends was doing my hair. We talked the whole time like we had known each other for years.
I am so pleased with the results and the experience in general, that I have already made a second appointment.

Philip has been cutting my hair since the early ’90’s! Damn that’s a long time. He’s the best in town. Make an appointment, you won’t be disappointed!

I went to Studio Brit yesterday for the first time for a cut with Philip! He was really great! He was flexible with getting me in for my appointment and was very prompt when I showed up. He started with a 5 min neck and scalp massage which was heavenly. We discussed what I was looking for and he delivered exactly that! He was very informative regarding which products I should use on my hair. Philip is definitely a professional-​he has been doing hair for over 30 years and he knows his stuff. He gave me his honest opinion on what would work with my hair and what wouldn’t. I loved my cut and can’t wait to go back for my next appointment. Thanks again Philip!

Philip set me up with Aja to do my hair which is not easy to cut. She did an amazing job, making even a 55 year old man like me look good. Local, friendly & easily accessible. Highly recommend Studio Brit.

I’ve been getting my hair done by Phillip for a couple years now. I have to say, he is great! My hair always looks fabulous after an appointment with him and my color is always wonderful! I always have people asking me where I get my hair color and cut done because it looks so great. The other stylists I have seen do great work there as well. It’s more expensive than some of the cheaper salons, but definitely worth every penny. You won’t regret trying it!

I really love Nise! She gave me a great shoulder/​scalp massage before my shampoo, then really took her time listening to what I wanted… I have wavy hair, so a good cut is sooooooo important since I like to let it go natural most of the time. Though I really felt she took her time, I was in and out in an hour with a gorgeous blow out. It’s small, intimate space with lots of natural light. Highly recommended!

As I waited to see Phillip, I tried to review in my head all the issues with my hair:
— it is thinning due to a medication I recently stopped
–it is damaged due to improper styling
–it is randomly curly due to chemo
–it is graying
–I had a terrible colorist make it too dark
–I have NEVER had a stylist give me good advice … bad cut
Hmm. After listing this in my head, I thought I would scare him. I sat in his chair and mentioned three or four of the above. He asked a lot of questions: How do you style your hair? Would you wear fringe if you did not have thinning? What color was your hair naturally? And more.
He came up with a game plan that started with a 15 minute chair massage… no charge. no kidding! Then an hour long hair treatment. Then a great cut. A lesson in styling. A lesson in products. «It’s all about the products honey!» A lesson in blow drying. A lesson in manipulating my hair, like a crazed hair model.
In the end, I looked like I had trouble taming my thick luscious locks!
In two days I return for color session number one! I cannot believe this guy is in Santa Barbara!

I haven’t been to a legit salon in a long time. Studio Brit is officially the place to be. I’ve often gone to the cheap $ 20 places where you end up praying your hair grows back to not look so straight end cut. Studio Brit showed that not only is it possible to fix damage but to cut hair and make it complimentary to your facial features.
I had royally messed up my hair and needed help. After years of salon dying my hair black, my (brown) roots had started to grow out. I tried to help the process by using a decolor product. It ended up bleaching my roots and leaving peek a boo patches of black and brown throughout. I had seriously contemplated shaving my head.
After reading Unilocal reviews on this new salon, I called Studio Brit and was recommended to see the owner, Philip. What a guy! I was instantly greeted and offered something to drink. The salon’s style is a nice mix of modern and funky. I felt welcomed and comfortable. Philip and I talked about my hair’s history, problems and damage. He did a wonderful layered cut and showed me upper end products that will help the healing process. They carry many products that will get your hair healthy and are informative on every bottle. As for color, he recommended I try an ombré look and I come back and see Yvette who is really good at it. I just saw her today and was blown away. She read my mind as she recommended I go with red shades. I allowed her full creativity and it paid off in the end. After lighting the black with bleach, she used a light shade red and pure red throughout as highlights and a dark violet red underneath. My hair looks and feels 1000xs better.
While I highly recommend Phillip and Yvette, I’m sure all of their staff is as talented and professional. When you give them a call, be sure to describe what process you’re looking for and you will be recommended to whomever could help you best.
As far as price goes, the old saying is true… «You get what you pay for.» In my personal case, I feel it was well worth the $ 200 and some change.
Thanks Studio Brit! See you for my touch ups and regular cuts!

Phillip is simply the best there is. Period. I’ve been going to him for decades and he’s always up on the very latest trends — knew about things before we saw them for ourselves in Europe (and they had just happened there — were the very latest) so yeah, this is as good as it gets. Go!

Tried Studio Brit for the first time on Wednesday and loved it! Ivette is talented and helped me with my color. She’s friendly, listens and gives great advice. Since it was my first time getting my hair colored, I was nervous but when I saw the end result I absolutely loved it. Thank you, Ivette for helping me transform my hair! I love my new haircut and get a lot of compliments on it:)

I’ve been following Philip from salon to salon for years now. He always does an excellent job with my hair, both cut and highlights. The highlights look amazing, actually. Natural and flattering. The cut always grows out well, which is really important to me ’cause I don’t have the time or money to go to get my hair done (done right, if you know what I mean) more than three times a year! Philip is worth every minute and every penny.

I had the best hair salon experience here! I came in with fried, brittle ugly orangey hair and Nise transformed it into soft, healthy, beautiful brown locks! I had already been to other salons to get this fixed and they not only couldn’t but charged me a lot to do nothing. Nise cut, color corrected and deep conditioned, leaving my hair better than it’s been in almost a year. If you’re sick of not getting what you want from a hair stylist then look no further, Studio Brit is where it’s at!

Hottest new salon in town! Go to Daniel or Ivette. Ivette is very skilled in all colors of ombrés! Erin is awesome as well!
