Wonderful Hydradermabrasion facial! Lisa was absolutely professional, thorough and gentle. My skin felt fantastic and rejuvenated, after a very relaxing hour. I would highly recommend Lisa and Santa Barbara Spa! :)

Absolutely love Santa Barbara Spa! It’s so convenient and easy to get an appointment. And the services are so well priced and high quality. Shelby really knows how to stack services so I can get a lot done in a short amount of time while still walking out feeling relaxed and looking refreshed! It’s such a cute space, the products they use and sell are amazing, and I always fall in love with something new every time I come in! Love this local spa.

Came here during our vacation and my husband and I had the best facials from Shelby and Lisa at Santa Barbara spa. I got the dermaplane facial and an eyebrow wax and eyebrow tint and my husband got the hydrodermabrasion facial. It was such a cute atmosphere and they have a whole skincare boutique and gift shop. I came back yesterday for a rapid spray tan and it looks so natural and beautiful and they customized the whole experience for me! It was such a fun treat and I can’t wait to come back when I come back to town!

I spent 75 minutes of pure bliss in Shelby’s hands. It was the most amazing facial I’ve ever thought imaginable. She did massage while the anti aging masks worked their magic on me. The spa is immaculate yet loaded with all the best equipment for a most professional experience. Even the shopping in the front of the store was so fun. I was able to stock up on all my favorite lingerie . I highly suggest you give SB Spa as a gift to someone special or better yet Treat Yourself.

Santa Barbara Spa and the owner Shelby are simply the best. I have been receiving services from Shelby for over 5 years. Her attention to detail is outstanding. Her facials really are the best and she gives the an amazing massage as part of the service. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Spa!

This spa is the best!! I see Shelby regularly for brow waxes and eyelash tints and the results are perfect every time. My eyelashes stay dark for WEEKS and I get so many compliments on my brows. I have also gotten my brows and lashes done by Lisa and she did an absolutely amazing job! Both Shelby and Lisa are so detailed and thorough- I’ve never left the Santa Barbara Spa with even a single hair out of place. They are the best in town and I will never go anywhere else. I also always feel good about spending my money at a true “mom ‘n’ pop” establishment. The SB Spa is a family-owned business and you’ll often see Shelby’s husband Rob at the front desk when you walk in. Shelby, Rob, and Lisa are so warm and friendly and genuinely care about all of their customers. Don’t sleep on this local gem!!

My husband and I got spray tans here and we were so happy with how they came out! There wasn't any streaking or weird hand/foot marks - it was all so perfect and balanced and stayed on for over a week. Can't wait to go back, thank you so much!

Shelby provided the most amazing facial for me. Her presence was wonderful as she worked on me, and I felt refreshed and renewed when she finished my session. She also played my favorite music Ashana during the treatment which took my experience to a whole other level. I loved my facial and I highly recommend Shelby for her services. Thank you.

I always have an amazing experience with Shelby at her cozy studio on Upper State Street. The space is not only adorable but impeccably clean, making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. Shelby has a knack for creating a comfortable environment, and her attention to detail shines through in her top-tier waxes and flawless spray tans. I couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a skilled and welcoming aesthetician

I'm not great at self care but my skin hasn't been the same since going through chemo, so I came here for a facial and was not disappointed! Shelby did an amazing job, listened to my skin care concerns, and used products that made a positive difference in my skin's appearance. Shelby is knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive. I HIGHLY recommend Santa Barbara Spa! I won't go anywhere else.

Gorgeous gorgeous tan :) Lisa was so lovely as well! I'm new to Santa Barbara (and America) and Lisa made me feel so welcome and gave me ideas for exploring Santa Barbara while I'm in town. Highly recommend!

1. Knowledgeable and professional. Shelby, the owner is the aesthetician. She's quite knowledgeable about her products and skin. She educated, but did not up sell. She's a natural at this and I look forward to returning. I told her I liked deeper pressure on the Massage part and she was great. They offer a red light therapy on your face and your neck. This is why I decided to give them a try. 2. Ambience. What a cute little spa. When you walk in, you feel like you've just stepped into an oasis. Welcoming chairs, water for you, some lovely items from Jewelry to skin care products, as well as work out and hat attire. It was well spaced, so it was relaxing, but there was some thing to peruse while you're waiting if you wish. 3. I spoke with her husband, who is also her business, partner, and Lisa, at the front. They both were very good. Scheduling was easy. I actually got quite sick and so I had to reschedule and they were very understanding. 4. Easy parking across the street at CVS. I'm so happy to have discovered this spa for Facials. 5. Homegrown, local. She grew up here and has decided to stay and invest in her community. I love supporting local., Whether new to the area or homegrown. This is a wonderful small business that I highly recommend.

Truly the best facial experience I’ve ever had. Shelby is an expert and my face has never looked more relaxed or glowy. I can’t believe how good the facial massage felt! Will definitely come back soon!

Professional, quick and amazing every time I pop in. I recommend her to friends and family and have been a loyal client for at least two years now. My go- to for personal care services. A true artist:)

I was searching for a place to get my eyebrows threaded and after reading reviews decided to give sugaring a try. I have very sensitive skin and have been getting my eyebrows threaded for years (almost a decade!) but Shelby changed my life with my eyebrow sugaring! No joke, my eyebrows look the best they EVER have. Somehow she magically made my eyebrows look thicker (which I wanted)! I am even using less brow product right now because the shape she created is amazing. I will definitely be back and would highly, highly recommend everything about this spot. Thank you so so much!

Shelby is the best! She is very knowledgeable, precise and clean. I never break out after my services as I usually tend to when I go somewhere else.

Shelby is the best!! So many options and services, always kind, and pays attention to detail. Love the online scheduling feature.

Shelly was so amazing! I’m a esthetician for 20 years and she was so professional and she was attentive to myself and my friend. Definitely highly recommend her and her space was so relaxing. She follows the Covid protocol and very clean and sanitized .

If you’re looking for a high quality experience in a relaxing and safe environment, go no further. Shelby at Santa Barbara Spa is the best esthetician I have been to in Santa Barbara and beyond. From waxing to facials, Shelby’s attention to detail and her gentle touch cannot be beat. I just love the spa environment she has created and can’t wait to go back for a facial ASAP!!

I have been getting waxed for years and I recently tried sugaring-Shelby did an amazing job and I will not go back, I love sugaring! I noticed there was less skin irritation/sensitivity vs. waxing because sugaring pulls with the hair instead of against it. I also have less ingrown hairs and have slower and less hair growth than with waxing. I definitely recommend coming and getting sugared by Shelby-I am so happy with the results!

Love it

Shelby is the only person I will trust to wax my eyebrows! I've been going to her for over 10 years and she is meticulous. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I love Santa Barbara Spa, Shelby is the best. Shelby is the only person I would go to for waxing before my wedding, I completely trust her. I also love the facials at Santa Barbara Spa. Shelby does a beautiful facial that deep cleans my skin and still makes me feel relaxed and nurtured. The spa is located in a great shopping center with lots of parking.
