Had a hard time finding this place, as it has moved for the third time in recent years. Now it is in a Sea Bridge community . You have to turn right into a driveway off Victoria with no name. The pic is not accurate as how the Salon looks today.

Nelly cut my hair, and she absolutely chopped it. I told her just 1 inch because I’m keeping the length she cut 5 inches. I asked her for long layers, she chopped each side it’s horrible!!! I asked for her to round it around my face she didn’t know how. My hair looks awful!!! I am so sad with what she has done with my hair.Service: Haircut

It's been 10 years since I've been at this place and I hope they have improved . Going there was one of the worst experiences of my life. They keep sending me emails so I finally decided to write a review. I treated myself to one of their high-end facials which was very expensive and the owner/ manager at the time did it herself. She talked on the phone the entire time to a friend or to other people in the salon. It was not a very relaxing experience. She rushed the facial and tried to cut corners by giving me an Express facial ,which left out three or four steps I had paid for. I brought this to her attention and she did do one of the masks that was included but left out the special moisturizers Etc. She also tried to steam my face but couldn't get the steamer to work. What kind of high-end Salon would not have a steamer that worked! They were also supposed to do extractions and she did a few around my nose and that was it. Then there was the eyebrow waxing. While she was talking on the phone she was going to wax my eyebrows. When she dropped hot wax on my face, I had had enough. I had prepaid for the facial with my credit card. I asked for a partial refund was told they couldn't do that because I paid for it on a special. Then she had the gall to ask me if I was going to tip her! I felt so pressured I actually gave her a tip! What an idiot! I was so upset I didn't even write a review. But now I am and I hope you don't have the same experience that I did and I would stay far far away from these people.

I love the location and feel of the salon. It was cozy & welcoming. The staff was super friendly and professional. Nellie is a wonderful human being & did my Brazilian wax AND it was my first time!! She made me feel super comfortable & we ended up having a wonderful conversation & was able to laugh (even thru the pain lol). I will definitely be back.

It's been a minute since my last massage and facial!! I decided to come to Bella Mar from a Groupon. Boy I am glad I did. I don't know if you've seen the first episode of The White Lotus, but I seriously came out of that room like Jennifer Coolidge! Nellie Ayala was incredible with her hands. I highly recommend her! I know now when I am in Ventura where I will go for a great massage and facial! Thank you Nellie .

Incompetent service and even worse customer relations/support. Nelly is one of the absolute most rude people I have ever met in my life, not to mention horrible at her job. I seriously question why anyone would ever hire this disgusting person.1 star is too good for her disrespect and incompetence.Service: Hairstyling

Worst customer service owner Nelly yelled at me over the phone and hung up on me after she messed up my hair!

Those people have no massage license and they do make massage.I had a terrible experience and I notified the Ventura county about it after which I got threaten by Jason (I think that was his name/ the "receptionist" who was in the same time "Masseuse " with no license ) who said "My aunt works in the Ventura court..".This place is full of trauma and drama.

Loved Nellie and Sean! Scheduled hair and makeup for my 17 year old, and a facial with reflexology for myself... If I'd known they were a one- stop-shop, we would have done our Manis and Pedis here as well ? Hint get down that way but a few times a year, but we'll be back!

Honestly, the worst haircut I have ever received. Uneven, stark "layers" so blunt they looked stacked. I am fixing it myself. Shampoo or conditioner left in my hair, very rushed... extremely unhappy. I will never go back and I do not recommendService: Haircut

Nellie did a great job on my hair from start to finish with color, cut and style. Adam (aka Shane) is an amazing asset to Nellie in scheduling, confirming and being so personable. Will definitely go back to have my hair done by Nellie. She also has a variety of items for sale in her shop.

I was pretty nervous coming to a new salon after having such a rough highlight experience at another place...Nellie did an AMAZING job on my hair and was able to get a really good idea of what I wanted for both cut and color after less than 5 minutes of chatting about my vision. My hair is very long and Nellie was able to complete my cut, deep conditioning and full highlights with toner in 90 minutes flat. That's less than half of the time I've spent in a chair with less experienced stylists! Will 100% be back. Thank you Nellie and Shane for your help!

Love Love Love this salon! What a hidden gem! Great location, easy to find, plenty of parking... They are a full service Day Spa & Salon AND boutique...from bling shoes, to jewelry, purses, clothing, skincare, Youngblood makeup... whatever your fancy! Nellie and Shane are so friendly and professional! Ready to help with all your beautifying needs :o) I came here to have my tapes for my extensions changed out... Nellie (owner and stylist/esthetician) was so sweet and accommodating as I literally only wanted just that-while she normally offers a full extension service (as all the other salons) she was willing to work with me THANK YOU SO MUCH NELLIE! Her pricing was fair as well! (Unlike the others). I began to call around because my girl who's been doing my extensions for 7 yrs moved out of state and I'm not kidding...No one was willing to "just change out my tapes" - the normal service is taking out the extensions, washing, drying them and the clients hair at a minimum of $250. There were a couple I found that were willing to do what Nellie did but for an exorbitant price! I'm so grateful to find that Bella Mar truly is a full service salon who cares about their client's wants and needs! Thank you again! I highly recommend coming here!
