Cheri Bibi

The best. Local stylists that have a ton of experience. Great atmosphere.

I highly recommend getting a haircut with Heather! She is very nice and friendly, and I love my haircut. She gives you a little head massage when shampooing your hair too. She is meticulous and takes her time to make sure your haircut is excellent. The product she used also made my hair smell super nice. I will be sure to ask for Heather next time I need a haircut!

I really enjoy getting my keratin treatments from Nada and her assistant, Christy. They’re friendly, professional, great communicators and I really appreciate how Nada listens and supports me and (my aging) hair! If I had more ca$h to invest in my hair and time to spend at Cheri Bibi, I’d be there more often! For now, I look forward to going every few months and enjoying the experience and results. THANK YOU!

I love this salon; everybody is really friendly and professional. I really like Sedette, she does my color and my cut and she is WONDERFUL. Not only does she do a great job, but Sedette always budgets more than enough time for each client. She is never in a rush or a hurry and because she spends a little more time on her appts. there is always a «cushion» in case somebody is running late — she just doesn’t run over and cause you to start late. She takes her time and you get the sense that she has the time to do everything right in a relaxes manner. When she does the shampoo I swear she spends 10 minutes on the head massage — it is SO great. Makes my day and totally relaxes me. What she offers for the price is a total value — you always get a wonderful service on top of the cut and color. And she is very sweet and friendly; I always have great conversations with her. Highly recommend the salon and of course please book Sedette!

Great salon! Ryan was my stylist and he was amazing. The shampoo was über relaxing and the blowout was really meticulous. Extra points for being sweet and for fostering such a positive atmosphere in the salon by complimenting a coworker. The receptionist was very accommodating and always had a smile on her face.

Jeff Matson has been cutting/​styling my hair for years. He does an excellent job and has an artistic eye for creating a look that fits my appearance/​work/​and style. Jeff is meticulous and his cuts look great even as my hair grows between cuts. I HIGHLY recommend Jeff and the entire Cheri Bibi team.

I came to Nada (pronounced Nay-​dah) before my wedding, for some color correction, as recommended by my sister in law. I wanted a much more subtle look to my highlights, and I showed her pictures I found online. She ended up doing a highlight with a toner to fix it. Nada was very accommodating, and kind, and was confident with her skills. I would absolutely recommend her!

Literally been coming here for six years for Nancy. Never been disappointed, never had anything go wrong. All their products smell good, and everyone is friendly.

I have been seeing Victoria McHone for 2 years and absolutely adore her! I don’t think I can go to anyone else. I have never in my life been so satisfied with my hair stylist; she really knows hair and is such a fun person to talk to. I can go in with an idea and some photos and she’ll explain the pros and cons of my vision and together we map out exactly what I want. If it’s not perfect she has me come back and fixes it free of charge.
Victoria can do dark and light, as well as bright colors (I tried purple tips for an event and it was perfect!). She got me into doing keratin treatments which has made a world of difference when styling my hair, and uses eco-​friendly hair dyes. I also have referred my fiancé and brother there and they’re hooked as well.
Cheri Bibi is an incredible salon in itself as well. The location is great, and everyone who works there is very friendly, especially the owner. They have tea and cookies and hair dryers outside looking over a pretty garden with a fountain! I have had Heidi fill in and color my hair when Victoria injured her wrist and she did a great job– she blow-​dried my hair so well I had other hair stylists ask me about it when I went out to dinner. I’ve never had Sedette but I get to peek over and admire her impressive up-​dos.
I highly recommend Victoria and this salon!

Jeff Matson did a phenomenal job on my husband’s hair for our wedding recently. We wanted to go retro and he NAILED it! My husband said his experience with Jeff was tht he was extremely professional, easy going and he loved his hair cut! He’s received soooo many compliments both from our wedding at work on his new hair cut!

I’m a little late posting this, but Victoria does amazing hair! She is so knowledgeable and friendly! It may have been the best salon experience I’ve ever had…

I am so glad to have found this little gem. I was referred to Victoria by a coworker. I am really not picky about my hair for the most part. If I get a bad cut I don’t panic… it will grow back. Coloring however I have hesitated just because of the maintenance and I like to go lighter which often means damage.
When I went to see Victoria my hair had not been colored in about 7 years– so I was a little nervous.
She did an AMAZING job and was extremely knowledgeable. Had a lot of tips and tricks for keeping my hair super healthy. Won’t go anywhere else as long as I am in SB!!!

Sadly, my very favorite stylist has moved out of town, but I still wanted to give Cheri bibi a good review. I am a sucker for a good haircut as it is, but I count down the days to my next appointment at this salon because the whole experience is just lovely. The location is beautiful, they use Bumble & Bumble supplies, and they always offer beverages and cookies while waiting. Everyone who works there is pleasant, and they clearly work to build real relationships with their clients. I have been going here for almost 2 years, and I have never seen anyone leave with less than a glowing smile on their face!

Shannon is my hero! Try going from typical chest length SB blond hair to a platinum pixie and feeling comfortable, cared for and absolutely in LOVE with your new hair on the way out the door. I was ready, but inch by inch she checked in with me and made sure I was feeling ok. She even stopped me from going shorter and told me to wait a few days and come back. I went back today and she made every shaping request I wanted and even added her own expert opinion for free. I absolutely love my pixie and will be a life long client, short, long, blond, brown… All you really need is a stylist that has amazing talent and is a good listener. She has both! Thanks Girl!

I love going to this sexy little vintage-​chic salon to see the ever lovely Nancy. Nobody has taken care of my hair better than she has.
I’ve been blonde to brown and blonde again with her. When I wanted to grow my natural hair out for ahwile she dyed my hair to match my roots perfectly. I grew it out for two years and nobody could tell the difference between my natural grow and the dyed hair.
She just recently turned me into a blonde beauty. Ok, well the hair part is pretty at least. My hair is never over-​processed or damaged when I work with her. She also has a great eye for haircuts and takes her time.

I LOVE Cheri Bibi!
Sedette is an incredible stylist and ALWAYS does a great job with both my color and cut. She’s a sweetheart, always fits me in to her busy schedule (even on short notice) and I have such a great experience at the salon! I’ve even asked her to make a change to something I thought I wanted done (a darker color) and she fit me in immediately and fixed it no problem. I see her regularly but on one occasion when she was unavailable I went to Ryan and he did a great job too!
I’ve been a fan for almost 2 years and I always find cute jewelry to buy while I’m there as well. The nicely landscaped back patio area is tranquil and relaxing.
Cheri Bibi will not disappoint!

I have been seeing Victoria for eight years now, and I currently drive all the way from the Bay area to get my hair cut/​colored! I am admittedly extremely high-​maintenance and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. She always take time to listen to what I want, asks questions, and looks at any pictures I bring in. I think it’s important for a stylist to also advise you, and she will let me know what will look good with my face and work with the texture of my hair. I trust her so much now that I let her pick my colors for me because she is especially talented at choosing what will look good with your skin tone. After a fiasco when I insisted she take my hair black and it looked terrible (just like she warned me it would) she even fixed it for me the same day. As a bonus Victoria gives an amazing scalp massage when she rinses your hair!
***Last time I visited she has updated her color line to an eco-​friendly company

This is the place to go, it’s clean and beautiful. Everyone looks kept and professional themselves, so I trust them with my hair.
Nada did a really amazing cut for me awhile back, and then she followed it up with an unbelievable coloring job too– needless to say it’s a haircut I’m still talking about! :)

I went here as a recommendation from a friend. I was looking for someone to do my hair for my July 2010 wedding. I had a hairdresser in LA, but not in SB. This place is very nice and comforting. The staff is very nice. I was told to ask for Heidi and I couldn’t have been more pleased. We did an initial consultation and she really seemed to understand what I want. We then had a trial run and funny enough, what I wanted didn’t look good on me at all. Heidi recommended something that I first didn’t want at all, but then ended up looking amazing.
Come the wedding day, she came out to the home to do my hair. I warned her ahead of time that my dad was a retired hairdresser and be prepared for critiques and she took it in stride. I could have had Vidal Sassoon doing my hair, and my dad would still want it changed. She was super friendly, outgoing, a great hairstylist, and I would recommend her in a second for any wedding hair. And she is very reasonably priced!

My son, daughter, & myself have been having our haircut by Heidi at Cheri Bibi for the past year. We have been extremely happy with our experiences every time we visit. Heidi is both consistent & personable, and will always accommodate last minute requests when able to according to her schedule.
Highly recommend Heidi and the Cheri Bibi Salon!
