I will update my review on that. I also, ordered the toner which I have not tried. When I run out of my current face care products, I am going to order all of them from Lisa, the owner at Lucia. I placed my order with Nicole, and she was wonderful. I highly recommend these products. My last visit there, I spent a fortune buying tons of Christmas gifts here. Everybody loved what I bought them. If you haven't tried these products,I highly recommend it. 1/27/26

She was meticulous with both hair and makeup, creating a look that truly felt like a dream--effortless, elegant, and perfectly suited for our Big Sur wedding. Her caliber of expertise is unmatched. Rhonda has this incredible ability to listen to your vision and elevate it with her artistry. Every detail--from the soft waves in my hair to the flawless, glowing makeup--lasted beautifully throughout the entire day (even with ocean breezes and happy tears!). Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also made the getting-ready experience feel special and serene. I can't imagine having anyone else by my side on such an important day. If you're getting married in Big Sur--or anywhere--do yourself a favor and book Rhonda. She's in a class of her own.

She made me feel so confident and beautiful, and her calm, kind energy was exactly what I needed that morning. From the very beginning, Rhonda listened to what I envisioned and absolutely nailed the look. I felt like the best version of myself--elevated, elegant, and still me. And let me just say... even on one of the windiest days, my hair stayed perfect. She worked some serious magic with both my hair and makeup--it held up flawlessly all day and night. I am beyond grateful for Rhonda's incredible work and would recommend her to anyone looking for an artist who not only delivers stunning results but also makes you feel completely at ease and radiant on your special day.

She originally did my engagement shoot, then my wedding (taking care of my entire wedding party and making sure make up was age appropriate for my little sisters & niece) and just recently my maternity shoot.

I will continue to use her for any make up services in the future. 2/22/19 This woman is an amazing artist! She really listens to what you would like for your special day. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out for my engagement shoot and look forward to working with her on the wedding day. She was very accommodating and is priced very well. She truly made me feel beautiful and like a princess. Thank you Katy for your service!

Highly recommended!

I had a life threatening experience on 11/25/25 with Dr. Ratchford when she recently opened her new…read moreoffice in Cambria. She was supposed to prep for a broken crown. She asked if she could use a jaw opener because it helped her work. I didn't know what it was and agreed. Once it was in my mouth I was thoroughly incapacitated from the intensity of the pain and pressure on my jaw and palate. She didn't do any work, instead told me there was a cavity and I needed a root canal, both things she would have already seen on the xrays. She pushed me back in the chair, no water, and left me for just under an hour at a slant backwards. When she pulled me up, I was very dizzy. No water, no help, no offer of help. The temp she put in was only half of a tooth. She did not remove the half of the broken crown still in my mouth, so the assistants struggled to make it and were only able to make a half a temp. The doctor stuck a blob of cement on it and stuck it in, no sanding, no water, nothing. I wobbled badly when I got up, so dizzy. They all gasped, but no one offered water or help. There was a time when I couldn't gulp and it was scary. All she did was write a referral to someone to do the root canal, but she also requested that they remove the cavity. When I asked her why it was taking so long, she told me all appointments are 2 hours. I am a senior with a severe disability in my neck which I went out of my way to tell her beforehand. Look it up people, what she did to me could have been fatal. She had no reason to use the jaw opener either. She has refused to repay me $902. When I requested the refund, instead she sent me a check for less than half along with a stack of new charges for this appointment where she did nothing. I have the evidence for all of the above. BEWARE!!!

The deep tub was also perfect for a long soak and overall the property and the area were quiet. I was glad that we had a fireplace and air conditioning because we needed both during our April stay. We didn't have breakfast other than coffee, so I can't comment on that. I agree with other reviewers that the hotel doesn't quite fit the upscale image on the website and social media. Customer service was similar to what we encountered from Morro Bay up to Ragged Point: more standoffish than expected, but ultimately helpful. All in all, we would stay here again if we wanted another retreat on the Central Coast.

The store is hidden away behind the Garden Shed on Main Street in Cambria, and there is lots of free parking in the back.

Each area seemed to be dedicated to a different musician. There was a black room with lots of OTT clothes and a large picture of Cher. The next section had a picture of Annie Lenox, with a rocker vibe, lots of tops and jeans. There was also clothing with pictures of the Beatles, and Beatles cards. Rock star coffee table books rested in a shelf, alongside elegant tote bags. Lots of creative cards and thoughtful books were on display! It's an intriguing store with lots of creative merchandise, all worth a second look!

The massages had good technique knowing where knots are, but little pressure and actual manipulation of muscles. I think we paid 175+ a person, and 2 people total came for a group session while visiting Cambria. If it was 60/person likes cheaper massage parlor then I'd give them 3-4 stars for the price-for-value. Old reviews are 5 stars so I wonder if there was a change in staff or management? Or friends leaving reviews? Either way mediocre massages at a high cost of what a hotel charges.
