Dolce Vista Salon

I love Ivette Lugo!!! I have curly hair and I also like straightening it with an iron depending on the need. I love the way how she appreciated my curls and told me that she would give me a style that suits me in curly and straightened hair. I didn’t like my hair curly that much cause I didn’t know how to manage it curly but after this hair cut I don’t mind my hair either way thank you so much Ivette!!!

Kellie is a amazing! I’ve been seeing her for 6 months and she changed my butchered hair to a beautiful blonde! Will see her until I move or die :)

Excellent pedicure! Duyanh (Deanna) was very good. Conscious of cleanliness. Massage of feet was awesome. Pedicure was the best I’ve ever gotten. Definitely going back again.

Mark McKee is magic. He is the best stylist I’ve ever had. The first time Mark cut my hair, he simply looked at my hair and told me all about my texture and which direction my waves fell, then gave me a gorgeous haircut. I’ve been addicted ever since! If you are searching for a stylist who will understand your hair (cowlicks and all), work with your hair’s texture (even those random wiry strays — where do those come from?) and cut it beautifully so that you’re your most GORGEOUS self, his name is Mark and he’s at Dolce Vista Salon.

The staff is extremely friendly and always offer me a beverage upon entering and then I am put into a state of relaxation. Courtney Shannon is the best! I call or text and get in Quickly. Call and say Freetime sent you! They will all laugh.

Highly recommend Mark McKee at Dolce Vista Salon. He’s superb at his job and a genuinely nice guy!

I have been going here for years. Courtney has been my primarily stylist for years and I cannot recommend her enough. Besides being great at what she does she is really fun to talk to. When I needed a haircut and she was unavailable I have had other people at the salon cut my hair and I have always been very happy.

Love this Place! Courtney Shannon is amazing. I went in to try the «Ombré» look and she did an amazing job! I received so many compliments the next morning at work! She made me feel comfortable and asked me the next morning via text if i was ok with the look and if i needed any touch ups! She is amaxing love her, will definitely go back!

I was lucky enough to meet owner and hairstylist Courtney Shannon a few years ago through a Groupon offer. Her salon is clean and comfortable with a cool vibe and friendly staff. It always make me feel so special when they offer me tea, coffee, or water when I get there too. Sometimes it’s the little things! During my first visit, I got a full set of highlights and a hair cut because I wanted to be a little more blond for summer! I figured that since it was a Groupon, I was taking a chance. Well, Courtney is amazing and she did exactly what I had envisioned with my hair – from the cut to the color to the styling. She had me feeling like my favorite celebrity when I walked out of there! Needless to say, Courtney has been my hairdresser ever since. Over the last few years, she has always been able to interpret exactly what I want to do with my hair – whether that is a shorter haircut, just a trim, spicing up the blonde, or changing it up with lowlights. She just gets it! And I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hairdresser in town who «just gets it» and who you can trust to make you feel beautiful and fabulous. Dolce Vista Salon is the place to go!!!

I love coming here — I discovered it thru a Groupon and have been coming to Courtney for 2 years now. The atmosphere is great and she does an amazing job. Listens to what I want, willing to change thing up and make recommendations. I highly recommend!

The best hair experience of my life. I have been coming to this salon for ever 6 years. From the people to the ambiance. It’s a ten all around. My stylist is Bessie Signorelli and she’s the absolute best. Most diverse in hair and styling. I would recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.

Outstanding!
I got the mani /​pedi groupon offer for 47.50 with Paraffin wax. Wondeful.
Dynnah works alone in a beautiful, peaceful space in the same building with Upscale Massage. No annoying music or chatter of people jammed together like sardines. And the chair is terrific.
Her teen daughter was reading a book and we chatted a bit.
I brought my own color – Essie – and she has MAD polishing skills.
I’m going to go back for a polish change on my hands as the gels she uses are not CND. I hate Gelish and OPI is no better for gels. She does use a shellac I might try but even though it will be more for my next mani or pedi, it’s well worth it.
I loathe manicures and pedicures and this was the first one of my LIFE I really enjoyed.

I have been looking for a sanitary mani/​pedi. Very hard to find. And it’s here. The foot tub is lined with new plastic for each pedi. For the manicure, emory boards only used once per customer as well as the scrub block. Plus, the chair has the best mechanical massage yet. Dynnah is lovely! All very relaxing.

I too came in because of the groupon and had a great experience. I basically wanted the same length as I currently have, just add some bangs and clean it up. Jennifer was super accomodating, recommended some cutting tips, showed me how to curl my hair with a flat iron and did a great job on my bangs.
They were also really sweet with my groupon as I wasn’t sure if the person I gave it to had actually used it before it expired. They said come in anyways, even if it was used. It ended up not being that way but I was really impressed that they would even risk it.
I will be coming back for sure.

I also had a Groupon to see Jennifer and was thoroughly impressed. I’ve been to several nice salons in Santa Barbara and she surpassed everyone else I’ve seen. She was thorough, listened well to my input and wants, and also had great ideas of how to improve my hairstyle. She was also very pleasant to talk with — it wasn’t awkward small talk for an hour.
The salon itself was very clean, bright, and open. I liked it a lot and would definitely return.

Oh Groupon… how you haunt me with your sneaky lil email deals daily. I am always terrified of what you might become… especially when it comes to hair!
Let’s be honest, a good deal is a good deal… Salons are no exception.
I was nervous. I just moved to Santa Barbara and I have had 2 other un-​remarkable salon experiences.
Jennifer was my stylist, and moving forward will be my stylist. I LOVED my experience at Dolce! I appreciated so much that she bothered to explain what she was doing with each step. This took away from my anxiety in a big way.

Being in the beauty industry I’m very particular when it comes to hair! I went to Dolce Salon for a much needed overall color job and I was impressed with the cutover service and even more with the work done. I have very dark hair and wanted to lift the color by two shades. Jennifer not only nailed my color but she cut my hair with long and short layers perfectly. I highly recommend Jennifer!

There was a groupon here so I figured I’d take the risk and try it out. The place is really cute and clean. Overall just had a good vibe. I got my haircut with Jennifer who was friendly and did a great job. She didn’t take forever but I also never felt that she was rushing. For $ 30 I got a wash, cut, and style. Since it was a groupon deal I’m guessing it would regularly cost about $ 60.
I have found my hair cut place in Santa Barbara and will definitely be a returning customer!

Bessie is the best hands down! She is up to date on the latest and greatest technique & Styles, she is fun and fabulous! My son and I just love going in to get our hair done and this is the first person who was able to actually give my wiggle worm a great stylish full blown haircut, and he has great hair now!!! She is just a treat the whole way around and we love her and the salon!!!

You have to go to Courtney Shannon! She is the best!
