Maines Salon never fails to make people feel like they are anything less than beautiful with their friendly faces and their exceptional skills.
I went in for a cut and balayage done by owner Sydney Young, and I was extremely impressed. Not only was my experience fun, engaging and relaxing throughout the whole process, but the results were outstanding. Young and two of her fellow stylists have more than a total of 25 years in the hair business, and their knowledge really shows through their beautiful work.
Not only will you leave with a fresh look, but their pricing is very reasonable. A standard women’s cut at Maines Salon is just $30 and a men’s is only $20. If you’re looking to change things up, a full color is $80 and full highlights are $100. The average price for a balayage at a typical salon is $180 to $200, but when I received mine at Maines Salon, it was just $125. Don’t get me wrong, hair styling is expensive! However, at Maines Salon, both your cut and the experience is worth every cent.
Overall, Maines Salon brings some serious competition to the hair business with their phenomenal skills and magnificent service. This place is a hidden gem that sets the bar high for salons in Ventura County. Take a visit to Maines Salon, and you’ll see why.
