Carlyle Salon and Style Bar

I’ve been going to Carlyle Salon since the day they opened, and they are truly the best in Santa Barbara. I see Lisa, the owner, but I’ve never had a bad blowout or color from anyone on the team. I’m extremely picky about my hair, and Lisa always listens carefully to my concerns and gives thoughtful guidance on cuts and color that really suit my face. You honestly can’t go wrong at Carlyle — the atmosphere is beautiful, and they carry a great selection of high-quality products as well.

The Corner Room at Carlyle Salon was the perfect spot for my bridal party and me to get ready before my wedding! Carlyle has fantastic hair & makeup teams, but I was able to bring in my own hair & makeup gals, which worked perfectly. The reservation process was easy, communication was thorough, and the day-of experience was a dream! The Carlyle team had the room ready for us when we arrived and it was gorgeous! They placed fresh flower arrangements inside and provided us with water, champagne, and beautiful drink ware. We were also able to bring in some of our own snacks & refreshments. The space has perfect natural light for photos and ample seating in addition to the vanity stations with salon chairs. The room is also equipped with a sound system and you can connect with your phone to play your own music. It was comfortable but felt special at the same time. If you are looking for a great place to get ready for a wedding or other special event, look no further. The Corner Room was an absolute dream!

I had them do my hair for the wedding, and it turned out more beautiful than I could’ve imagined. Lisa was my stylist. I did a trial in their back room, which is super cute and newly done. I had my wedding at a venue, and they came to do our hair there on site. Lisa did such an amazing job on my hair, and she even helped me change my hair for the reception. Her assistant helped all my bridesmaids with touchups. The assistant was so willing to help with any style they wanted, as well as just curling or helping put flowers in their hair. I wouldn’t have had anyone else do our hair for our special day. I highly highly recommend!!!

Chandler always makes my hair look great. We’re successfully transitioning to salt and pepper. Excellent color work

I had a great experience at Carlyle Salon. I was not home and badly needed a cut. Chandler recommended a cut that would work for my face shape and hair type. She also answered all of my hair questions 🙂 I wish I lived in SB and would come here regularly. Highly recommended!

I was in SB for a wedding and wanted a partial updo. I had an appt with Chandler and she made so happy! In 45 minutes, she transformed my slightly frizzy hair (bad hair day from the cool SB ocean air) into exactly what I wanted for the day. The vibe of the shop is lovely and Chandler was a doll. I highly recommend this place. Wish I lived closer!

We rented the backroom for my wedding, and our experience was exceptional. The staff were fun and generous, we played music and danced. It was comfortable for all of us to hang out. Our makeup was flawless and they really made the day special for me!
