Michelle is incredibly talented. She took my brows from circa-2000 over-tweezed vibes to healthy, full brows that actually shape and balance my face. The transformation is subtle but powerful. Polished, natural, and instantly makes my whole face feel more put together. On top of that, she is a gem of a human. She takes her time, truly listens, and clearly cares about her clients. You never feel rushed, only thoughtfully cared for. At this point, seeing Michelle is a non-negotiable part of my ongoing beauty regimen. Trust her. Your brows (and your face) will thank you. read more

I get a wax and tint from Natalie almost every month for the past 5-6ish months. She's so skilled in being meticulous and precise as well as truly listening to and understanding what you want. Every time I go in I know I'll be more than satisfied with my brows instead of going in anxious. I've had past experiences elsewhere that has made me weary of just seeing anybody to do my brows, but Natalie has absolutely squashed those fears with her skill and personable and attentive nature. I don't do any other kind of maintenance in terms of appearance so spending at a higher price point for what I know is a quality service is not an issue whatsoever. If you're someone like me, I highly recommend montecito brow studio because you DO get your money's worth! If you book yourself an appointment, be sure to book Natalie! She's seriously the best and you won't regret it! read more

For the past 5 years, every appointment feels like a special treat! My teenage girls and I always look forward to our visits, and Natalie never disappoints!

absolutely adored my brow specialist, and will 100% be going back. she was knowledgeable, and made such an inviting atmosphere that i didn't feel too embarrassed about the messy brows i showed up with 10/10 read more

I had came in today for the first time and was scheduled with Michelle for my appt. Let me tell you, her location is the cutest, easy to find/get to area with spacious parking! (Little things I look at.) I was immediately greeted by Michelle as she checked my temp and examined my eyebrows to shape for the first time and wax. It took at total of 30min, but within that time she was so personable, professional, and friendly that it seemed like I known her for years! My eyebrows was exactly how I like it at the end of the result. Full, thick, and cleaned up sharply. I drove a little over and hour for this appointment and did not disappoint! I will be visiting this place often and trusting her with my brows from now on!!! I recommend this place to anyone who needs a real eyebrow queen to wax their brows!!! Thank you Michelle!! =) read more

I did my first visit this week, and Natalie took care of my eyebrows. She took time to listen to what I loved and what I'd like to improve on my eyebrows, she helped me pinpoint new additions to my skin routine to help grow out my eyelashes and eyebrows. She made sure to check in about the shape before waxing too, which was nice reassurance. I left feeling great about my eyebrows, and now when I fill them in with my brow pencil, they come out perfect! I will certainly be returning on a regular basis to Natalie. read more

Michelle was amazing. She took time to see what I was looking for and really spent time to get the best results I've ever had. Thanks Michelle! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! My eyebrows have been, for lack of a better word...messed up..so many times! My wedding is coming up, and I knew I would not have enough time to grow out my eyebrows again if they weren't done right. So I looked around. It's pricey, compared to what I've paid for before ($20 at most) but it's worth the QUALITY. Michelle is now the only person I plan to go to for my brows. If you are reading this and deciding between two places...go to Michelle! read more

Michelle K Montecito Brow Studio - The best my brows have looked since....EVER! Thank you Michelle! This picture doesn't do her work justice, they are beautiful! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Being a professional in the beauty industry, I am very particular as to whom I trust to provide me with my beauty needs. After moving home to Solvang from LA I began my search for a brow artist. Days of research and reviews read I had no doubt Michelle was my girl! I was absolutely ecstatic after my first session with her. I am a devoted every 4 week visitor for now over 4 years. Her studio is the best of the best! You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Michelle K Montecito Brow Studio - Makeup Artists Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Natalie is by far the best brow expert ever. Been to the best in LA and NYC prior and my brows have never looked this good.

I have been to many places and tried many approaches when getting my brows done. This is by far my favorite place I have been to, and Natalie won my heart over as far as an eyebrow artist. From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave they offer nothing but friendly professional hospitality. Not only did Natalie ask me what my eyebrow goal was and what her professional recommendation was, but she made sure I was calm and comfortable during the whole process. I had not done waxing in over ten years due to horrific experiences, but after my experience with Natalie my heart knew it would be unacceptable to go anywhere else. The experience and results really make the money worth it. Already recommended to my friends and family. Want a place where you know you're eyebrows will be looking perfect and you will be 100% satisfied? THIS IS IT! Another major bonus- ITS PAINLESS! love love love read more

After having numerous bad experiences with waxing, I vowed to never go through that again. I tried threading for a bit, but to be honest I've never been satisfied with how my brows have turned out. After discovering this place, I can confidently say that I am extremely satisfied with my eyebrows! I made an appointment with Natalie and she completely transformed my eyebrows! She made my waxing experience extremely relaxing and she was super sweet! I will definitely be coming back to this brow studio! read more

she's still the best. sometimes you just need to get your brows groomed and out of desperation, you just go somewhere else cause there's really no choice but to take a risk or look like a caveman for the next couple of days. for women, looking like a caveman means that we can't leave our homes or interact with anyone that we know or hope that we don't run into anyone that'll want to conversate with us in public. LET ME JUST TELL YOU that not ALL Anastasia brow people are created equal. Yes, Michelle has been trained by the brow wizard herself and Anastasia trains others in other locations, but just because they're an esthetician that's been trained by Anastasia doesn't mean that they get all her skills. Michelle was one of the rare ones that soaked up the knowledge and powers and actually does her job WELL. I've also gone to other people that others recommended and swore by and seriously, it just wasn't cutting it for me. My brows still came out crooked (not by much.... but when you've had perfection, it definitely makes a difference) and I even got a chunk of my brow taken out while they were "reshaping" aka giving me bald spots!!! Being a student with a very unpredictable schedule has left me to miss the appointments I did schedule with her, which is why I've fallen in the trap of going elsewhere because I was desperate. It's not worth it. Just go to Michelle. Stay in your house for a couple days and avoid human contact and reward yourself with beautiful brows. I only recommend Michelle and yes, she's a little bit more expensive... but I guarantee you that you will never find someone who makes your brows look this fabulous anywhere else. It's worth every single penny and honey, the money I saved going elsewhere has left me frustrated and incredibly upset every morning when I do my make up, especially when it comes to filling in my brows. Just go to Michelle Kass. read more

If you are looking for the best eyebrow waxer in Santa Barbara look no further!!! I will NEVER let another person touch my brows. Michelle has a passion for making others beautiful and she cares about each one of her clients. You know it's good when your husband makes a comment about how good your eyebrows look!! Eyebrows are such an important part of shaping your face so you don't want to mess with someone who doesn't know what they are doing. Go see Michelle and I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Michelle is a brow GENIUS, there's no other way to put it. I had over-plucked brows from years of less-experienced waxers/threaders "just evening it out," and it was so bad I went all over Santa Barbara looking for someone who could really help. Michelle was the only one who took the time to really figure out my shape. Unlike at other places, where growing out my brows meant feeling gross for weeks at a time and just suffering through it, Michelle showed me where I needed to let my brows fill in, but I always left feeling like my brows were "done." She is the only person I've ever known to do brows so well they look BETTER as the weeks go by. She's truly amazing, I have complete faith in her ability and will never go anywhere else as long as I live here. From the bottom of my heart, Michelle, thank you so much! Brows are such a crucial part of your face, and anyone knows that there's nothing like beautiful brows to make you feel pretty and put together. Worth every penny. read more

I have been going to Michelle for almost a decade. Since then, I have lived in Boston, Taipei, and now in Florida. During this entire time she is the ONLY person I have trusted to touch my brows. She does an amazing job shaping beautiful, natural brows - it's magic. Not only that, but because she understands brows and waxes to your natural shape, there is such minimal maintenance and they retain their shape wonderfully. Currently I only go back once or twice a year when I am in town, and do not touch them otherwise, and I'm amazed at how well they keep! I cannot recommend Michelle or her studio highly enough. read more

Michelle is by far one of the best beauty business owners. Her studio is top notch with impeccable design...Her eyebrow service and Natalie's eyebrow service along with her Microblade service by Jeana are alllll so beautiful, perfect and meticulous. So worth the money and I will never go anywhere else. It's like eyebrow art. read more

I love this place !!! it's a little more pricey for my liking but oh so worth it. i go to Natalie, who does an amazing job & always takes her time with me. read more

After watching a few friends go to Michelle & liking their results I gave her a shot. At 24, it was my first eyebrow wax of my life! I had always plucked on my own & thought my results were "good enough." I love the Anastasia method with the stencils, it really makes me feel sure that the brows will live up to my high standards! I see Michelle every couple months with some controlled self plucking in between, my brows have never been better! =] read more

I took my little one for her first eyebrow shaping for her upcoming 8th grade graduation, and she loved it! The artist is so talented and gentle, and she perfectly mapped out Sydney's facial structure to ensure she had a natural and polished brow. We will definitely be repeat clients! read more

After completely messing up my brows with a brow razor, Michelle worked her magic and saved my brows and gave them shape!! This was also the least painful eyebrow waxing experience I've ever had! Thank you so much Michelle!! read more

Michelle is amazing. I won't lie, it's more expensive than your average place, but it's important to me to trust that my brows will be accurately and beautifully shaped, and by a professional, kind, and welcoming person! Michelle was nice and it was painless :) read more

Absolutely love them! Was a little bit scared at first because there was some drastic changes to my brows, but they have never looked more even and well done before. 10/10 recommend read more

Michelle is the absolute BEST! She is an eyebrow magician. I am obsessed with my brows after I leave her studio every. single. time.

Michelle not only managed to squeeze me in when I accidentally showed up a week early for my appointment, but she did an absolutely spectacular job with my brows. Believe the hype. As someone who has had enough terrible brow waxes to fear walking out of the salon looking like an extraterrestrial, Michelle immediately put me at ease and found a style that left my brows looking natural but neat. read more

Yesssss. Just finished my first appt with Natalie. She's amazing. I've been trying to grow out my brows after some tragedies at nail salons and other places and she took her time to map out my brow shape and explain exactly what she was doing. She left them as full as she could so I can continue to grow them in. I'm so glad I found this place! Absolutely recommend especially for those who have been growing your brows out and need a fresh outlook on your shape! A++++ read more

Absolute Best Facial Waxing In Town I have been having my eyebrows done by Michelle for years. She changed my life. Her work on my eyebrows has given me confidence I never thought I could have. She recently added face waxing. I was privileged to have her wax my face for the first time this week and I am so happy with the results. I could not recommend her more highly. read more

Michelle is the BEST. I have had a real hard time finding shape for my brows but she really fixed them up perfectly. She is very sweet too!

I just had the luxury in experiencing a brow shaping appointment with Michelle for the first time. I cannot wait to go back to her! First off-- she gives off such a positive, happy vibe and I felt really comfortable with her. Second--My brows look beautiful, I am so happy with what she did! This girl knows her stuff and I hope others can stumble upon her like I did. Thank you so much, Michelle! read more

I loveeee this brow studio! I've gotten my eyebrows done at other places but none of them compare to this studio. Natalie does my brows and she's not only is she sweet, she's really talented at what she does. She waxed my brows twice already and knocks it out of the park every time! She's really friendly and makes you feel comfortable. She really takes the time to shape the brows perfectly for your face. I will definitely be coming in again in a few weeks! Thanks Natalie! :) read more

I recently moved to New York and I am so bummed because Natalie will not be able to do my brows anymore! Natalie is sweet, fun to talk to, and is a perfectionist when it comes to giving her clients their best eyebrows possible. If you are looking for someone to do your brows in the Santa Barbara area, look no further! read more

Michelle is absolutely amazing!!! She saved my eyebrows after a traumatizing experience at Benefit Brow Bar & I have been going to her since for almost 2 years. I recommended her to my roommate & she is obsessed as well. She has managed to transform my thin sparse asian brows to a full shaped arch. As a college student, her rates are definitely on the pricier side for me but it is so worth it knowing that my eyebrows are in good hands every single month. Plus, she is extremely personable & always fun to chat with (: read more

I am not one for primping.. I mean if I can do it myself I do.. that is until I had Michelle do my eye brows! WOW what a difference it made- it was like a face lift! I had over plucked my brows.. I really never thought about them until my own Mother said your eye brows are awful thin! Opps.. that is when I found Michelle.. she shaped them and told me to stop plucking.. which I did and now they look beautiful- and she sold me these cool templates so I can fill in where I need to.. she is on my must do list in my world of primping. She has a adorable clean space and is always upbeat and friendly- quick, easy and fast! Love her! read more

I'd first like to say they are extremely nice and friendly here. It seemed clean and from what it looks like, they are following all Covid guidelines. However, when it came to my brows I wasn't so satisfied. I scheduled a brow wax after 4 months of not getting them done. Natalie did the usual of asking if I use any products such as retinol, retin-a, etc. I told her that I do use differin (OTC) on my chin area, and that I always have, and that prior to Covid I would regularly get waxed while using it. I told her I am aware of lifting, and that I have minimally lifted before, but that I understand that as a consequence and am ok with proceeding. I wouldn't book an appointment knowing these things if I wasn't ok with it. She told me she didn't feel comfortable waxing, and that she would rather pluck, and that it would be more expensive. I don't like the look of plucking but I proceeded anyways (this is where I should've declined service and walked away). Well I let her pluck them, they turned out nothing like I had wanted. Too thick, no clean lines, lack of shape, etc. Had she waxed me like I originally requested/booked for, and potentially lifted my skin, I would not be leaving a bad review because I was aware of that going into this! Two lessons for this salon: do what the customer asks since they are paying for the service OR add a note in the booking platform saying you will refuse wax service if client uses any of the above products. read more

After going to countless eyebrow places and trying every method from threading to sugaring and waxing I can honestly say Michelle is the best! She is so gentle and personable it makes coming in a pleasure. Her knowledge and expertise are unmatched and I can say I have truly found the only person I will let touch my eyebrows. Take it from someone who has had a fair share of people taking too much or leaving my eyebrows missing hair in places and go the the eyebrow goddess, Michelle! You definitely won't leave disappointed! read more
