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!

I was so lucky to have Kirsten as my esthetician for my first lash lift. I haven't worn mascara…read moresince my appointment (3 weeks ago) and my lashes are just as curled as when I walked out of the spa. 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!

My biggest fear was streaky hands for a wedding (a lot of ring/hand photos) but they did a tremendous job. Highly recommend for everyone but especially the brides!

But she works quickly, makes it as comfortable as possible, and walks you through the process so you're not just gripping the table in silence. I have sensitive skin and this is one of the few places that doesn't leave me irritated for days. Everything she uses is all natural, and my skin handles it well. She also offers spray tans if that's your thing. The bathrooms are actually clean. Not "we wiped the counter real quick." Clean. Complimentary tampons and wipes are stocked, which tells me she's thinking about her clients beyond the appointment. There's free Jolly Ranchers and gum in the waiting area. A little sugar before the sugar. Booking online is easy. There's plenty of parking in the back. I've been coming for years and I still drive from Ventura. That's not casual loyalty; it's because she's that good.

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.
