I was in Santa Barbara over the holiday and happen to get a facial from Jesse. Since I knew…read moresomeone very close to her, I found her. She is a hidden gem. She has her very own private facial suite. I truly enjoyed her care and attentive fingers as she revitalized my face. After having a baby one year ago ~ I barely have time to take care of myself like I used to. The facial left my skin soooo soft and refreshed. I am also using some great products she recommended, especially the Murad Vitamin C facial. AMAZING! I just used it and it left my skin glowing. Please go see Jesse if you are looking for a private facial experience.

I hardly had any eyebrows left after years of pulling, despite using serums. Melodie was extremely kind and gentle throughout the entire process.

Amy Rae and Kelly are skin goddesses…read more There is no one on this planet who I could recommend for skincare more highly than these ladies. I've been seeing Amy Rae for nearly 5 years (since moving to LA) and recently had a few appointments with Kelly. Both of them are SO knowledgable, kind, and...gentle. Skin can be a very delicate topic (I know it was for me) and they handle it with CARE. But also, they get the job DONE! I love that the products they use are natural and they've never once tried to "sell me" on anything (although, that hasn't stopped my from buying nearly everything from Shea Terra ...teehee). Finding humans who are honest from the start and truly care about helping you find a solution to whatever it is that you're coming to them for...can be hard to find in such a big city.

Amy Rae was able to pinpoint my active acne zones and tell me what was causing my breakouts. I came in for a simple rapid detox facial and left feeling radiant and relaxed. I learned so many things about my skin that no other aesthetician ever took time to talk about. I highly recommend Amy Rae Aesthetics, and can't wait to come back! :)

Thank you Jackie for perfecting my wedding makeup! There were not that many options for places on a…read moreMonday morning that could do makeup for under $100. This really is a local find, so many fun home options, a spa, and makeup. You can get toys for your kids and hair care in one place.

Would absolutely recommend for someone who wants a natural look with an affordable price for an elopement.

Was not so subtly followed around by a female employee and she pretended to fix merchandise while she was actually just watching me like a hawk the entire time I was browsing. I can only assume this was because I'm a minority. I didn't see any white customers being followed like I was. This happened more than once. I thought it might have been a weird one time thing so I decided to give them another shot but then it happened again. So now I know what they're like there. They only seem to care about their wealthy white customers and treat everyone else like a criminal. Disgusting and no thanks.

Hands down one of the best spa experiences of my life, and what a gift that it happened on my very…read morefirst day in Santa Barbara. From the moment I walked in, Grace made everything effortless. She got me checked in, oriented, and completely settled with such genuine warmth that I felt taken care of before the treatment even began, and that kind of welcome sets the tone for everything that follows. And then Daniel. Literally the best massage I have ever had. He is not just a therapist, he is a guru, working with a level of intuition, wisdom, and energy that goes far beyond technique. He seemed to know exactly what my body needed before I did, and I left feeling restored in a way that was physical and something much deeper at the same time. Truly the best of the best. I am so grateful to this whole team for the care, the presence, and the peace they created. I will absolutely be back, and if you are anywhere near Santa Barbara, do yourself the favor. I'll be back!

I can't recommend Kirsten enough. I'm very particular about my lashes and she somehow gets them…read moreexactly right every time! Full, but never that "brooms for eyelashes" look I worry about. Beyond the lashes, though, she's honestly become one of my favorite parts of self-care. Sitting in her chair feels like getting pampered and having a mini therapy session haha she's such a good listener and makes the whole experience feel grounding and calm. On days I just want to listen to a podcast and nod off, she's totally in for that too. If you're picky like me and want someone who truly pays attention to what you're asking for (and actually delivers!), she's your girl!

The whole process was very relaxing, the spa has comfortable beds, lighting, and music. I WISH I was local to Santa Barbara and could go to Kirsten again because I am now obsessed with my lashes and will be getting them done again. I also got a brow wax during my appointment and was so impressed with Kirstens attention to detail. I haven't had my brows professionally done in years and her shaping has made my brow maintenance so much easier. I really appreciated her approach to shaping and could tell she understood how to work with my specific (very thick) brow type. I will definitely be back at Lucent the next time I'm in SB!
