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. read more

After the place I regularly go for waxes closed during the pandemic, I found Shelby and Santa Barbara Spa and am so happy I did! She was professional, efficient and friendly.

After years of over threading my eyebrows, I finally found Shelby! I struggled with finding a consistent, reliable person that could do my eyebrows without thinning them out too much. Threading and waxing caused me to break out as my skin is very sensitive. Often times, my eyebrows/skin would be so red and bumpy from the irritation. However, I discovered sugaring from Shelby and I'm so glad I did. Shelby is very professional, friendly and has a great aseptic technique. The spa is super clean and has a very welcoming feel to it. Shelby did sugaring on my eyebrows. The whole process was painless and Shelby really took her time to make sure that I was comfortable and that I loved the results. I can't wait to keep going with Shelby! Keep up the great work! read more

Shelby is AN ANGEL. She takes care of my brows like they are her beloved newborn babies, carefully tending to them with utmost precision and love. After a wax and tint, I always leave feeling amazing and someone inevitably comments moments later on how great my brows look! So five stars for the brow love and a bonus five stars for Shelby herself; she is charming, funny, warm, and super reliable. Naturally I also need the occasional facial or when I'm feeling wild, a whole set of lash extensions! All of her services come with the same attention to detail and expert care. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Shelby was recommended through social media and after 6 months of not getting waxed I finally felt safe and ready to get them waxed. Making an appointment online was super easy. Due to Covid, the table was set up outside but it's still very private. I had a lip wax and brow wax and she did an amazing job. My brows are super tricky bc they are two totally different shapes, naturally. She kept the thickness of them and managed to shape them into actually looking alike. I love my brows now! Shelby was very professional, had a consent form, took temperature and wipes everything down before her next client. I felt really comfortable. I found my new brow esthetician! read more

Shelby is amazing!!! Her place is so cute and cozy and welcoming. She does a really great job at making you feel comfortable, easiest person to talk to.

I was very satisfied with the results, will definitely be returning! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a wax :)!

Flawless brows executed by Shelby every time. I feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking serious eyebrow rehabilitation. I have had my eyebrows waxed and threaded for years and never felt listened to, or that I paid for what I actually wanted. From my very first experience at the Santa Barbara Spa with Shelby, I could tell it was different, she was gentle, meticulous and went extra lengths to ensure I was comfortable and understood. After many visits, I'm always surprised at how full and healthy she manages my brows while having the expertise to know exactly what hairs to remove that would create the most complementary shape. I've always had one of the two compromised when asking for full and arched looks that left me with thinner brows with super unnatural arched shapes and until I had a consultation with Shelby, I just accepted that reality. After multiple visits I realized she really worked hard to find a sweet spot for my eyebrows, and what seems like a small service created such remarkable results for my confidence. I feel my eyebrows have reached a new prime in Shelby's hands and I return to the Spa for Shelby's technical work, honesty, unmatched hospitality. read more
