I booked a 90 minute hot stone massage this pass weekend and wow what an experience. Not only is the atmosphere comfortable, I experienced the magical and healing hands of Yolanda. This was not the first time and won't be the last. Come experience the healing and warmth of Yolanda. read more

This spa is so cool. Yolanda is an artist an her art is displayed around the whole spa. She is a talented artist and a very talented masseuse. I love the LED light therapy face masks that is sold here. Super friendly service and really good vibes. You feel like you are with friends "where everyone knows your name" as soon as you enter and I can't wait to come back. I can't wait to try her other services like facials and a long list of other high quality products and services. read more

Yolanda gave me an amazing hour and a half facial. The massage part was very through, magic fingers that had me feeling like I was floating on a cloud. What ever she did to my skin and products she used I was glowing for days after. read more

Yolanda is the best in town for eyelash extensions. They are classy (not tacky!) and last until they grow out. She offers so many services, all of which are great. Can't wait to book another massage. Thanks Yolanda! read more

I always look forward to my appointments with Yolanda! She is hands down the best massage therapist in town, and she has such great detail to lash extensions. Not only is she an artist with everything she offers but she is warm, inviting and so kind! read more

I have been seeing Yolanda at her fabulous salon for about five years. She does the BEST eyelash extensions-- I love them so much! I've also had massage, make-up, and eyebrow waxing done there. She always exceeds my expectations. Such a talented esthetician! Yolanda is masterful, super hygienic, efficient, reliable and great fun to be with. I am giving her TEN stars! read more

I had the most amazing experience with Yolanda at Spa escape. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the wonderful energy and see how much care and time she has put into her space. It is very clean, organized, personalized, and light feeling. Her massage was very calming, effective, and just exactly what my body needed. She made sure to check in with the pressure and if I needed more or less. I did the deep pressure release, and I highly suggest this for any person that works, feels stress, or literally just exists in this world. The massage table is also the comfiest thing I have ever laid on. Everyone needs to try a massage with Yolanda, your body will thank you. read more

Spa Escape is just that...a wonderful escape from these trying times. Just what I needed. Yolanda is magical, the massage was one of the best I've ever received! I don't usually get facials but Yolanda suggested that I get one and I'm really glad I did. The products she uses were amazing and I've started taking better care of my skin thanks to her suggestions. Thanks so much, I'll be back! read more

I just recently bought an Axxess book and was looking for a Brazilian wax. Looking at all the spas it's hard to choose just based on price because they are all about $50. So I was looking for something that would stand out and behold Axxess deal for 25% off first service! It's nice too because getting waxing can become expensive doing it every 3-6 weeks. I am still a student and so I'm not making a full income. It was nice to go into the site and see that select services had student discounts (and those not listed have 10% applied). Also some services have even more discounted If you pay in cash. Anyways, my experience here was great! Yolanda made me feel so comfortable in a scenario where you can be pretty vulnerable (I mean your bits are out so how can you not be vulnerable right?). She did the hard wax on me because my skin is pretty sensitive. I alpreciated her teaching me about different waxes and different types of hair follicles. She was very professional and genuine, which made me very comfortable. Originally I was going to try out different waxing places to see what I liked best, but I had such a great experience here that I know this is my new place. Booked my appointment right there...are you in three weeks. read more

Yolanda is the only person I trust with my eyebrows. I've gone to multiple people over the years and no one does as good of a job at perfecting my eyebrows than her. She doesn't let me leave until I'm completely satisfied with how they look. She gives some of the best massages I've ever had, and got me into tinting my eyelashes which always look so beautiful after she's done tinting them! I always leave feeling relaxed and beautiful! read more

Yolanda is extremely knowledgeable on her different massages techniques and her beauty enhancement experience. She relieved me from my exhausting back pain and stress by giving an amazing hot stone massage and she even took the the time to give me a full set of lashes extension after seen the horrible painful work someone else has done before . I highly recommend Spa Escape!! read more

I had the best time at Spa Escape. The owner was super nice & took lots of Covid health precautions that made me feel better. It has been a year since i had a massage & hers was lovely. She worked out any tension I had in my back & shoulders. Her spa is lovely, clean & soothing. I will go back for sure. read more

This was my first time trying lashes and I have to say, I had the best first experience. Yolanda was funny, gentle and professional. My first set took about 2 hrs, she took her time and made sure I was happy with them. I was nervous at first but not after a while. I truly enjoyed my experience and will be back for my fill. Can't wait. read more

Yolanda is a master at her craft. I had my first massage in forever with her today, and boy do I feel better. My job (bartender)is very active, carrying heavy things and on my feet for long hours at a time, and she she made me feel like I can breathe better since my back is so much looser. She is excellent at working out lumps from old surgeries, arthritis, and chronic pain in general. I highly recommend. read more

Yolanda is truly the BEST! I have never gotten more compliments on my lashes! She does such a great job! So thorough, takes her time, they look stunning every single time! And honestly, when its time for me to go get a fill, they still look stunning! I also see Yolanda for massages too and let me tell you, she's your girl for massage therapy! I have had a displaced collar bone for over a year and she's the only person to actually make a huge difference in my pain levels, management, and keeping me going! She makes you feel right at home in her shop and has such an amazing energy, you'll never want to leave! read more

I went to see Yolanda last week to have a facial, massage and have my face and eyebrows waxed. I was so impressed with her space and the care that she gave me during all of my services. I knew how amazing the massage would be because I've been to her before for a massage (she has hands like no other!). I hadn't been waxed or had a facial by her before and I was so impressed. My skin has never looked so good! I will definitely be going back soon. I highly recommend Yolanda and Spa Escape. read more

Yolanda is an incredibly talented massage therapist, in every way possible. You know when some people just have those magic healing hands that can be strong and get the knots out, but can also give goosebumps from the lighter touch? After an hour in her hands, I feel so relieved of all my pain, stress, and worries. To top it all off, Yolanda is very sweet, easy to feel comfortable with, and has warm, welcoming energy. I go to Spa Escape as a treat to myself, and could not be happier! Thank you, dear Yolanda! read more

What a arrogant answer from the owner. Instead of trying trying to work with me as a customer you come up with, "I was nominated for best of?"what a joke! What does that have to do with anything? My skin disagrees with you. read more

Used Spa Escape for my wedding hair/makeup, and hair for 3 bridesmaids for my wedding on 4/22/17. Yolanda did a great job, and I was really happy with my look! Day-of she and her assistant showed up on time (10 minutes early) to my hotel. Both women did a great job and I was very happy with my hair/makeup and my bridesmaids hair day-of. Yolanda was very professional and up front with all the pricing, and listened to what I wanted for my makeup trial. read more

Update: 8/30/19 If I understand Yelp correctly, it is used to relay information to others- either good or bad. My experience personally was bad, and if a customer wants to take my review into consideration, that is their decision. I understand your intent was not to libel me, per your reply, but you also have to understand that this is my review of your spa and my experience. Per my first review, my mistake is accidentally booking two separate treatments. But also, like what said you are going to work on, there was no communication to help me with that process. So please, erase all my information and I hope the best for you and your store. Update: 8/19/19 After replying to me on here, the owner found it hard to leave the situation alone and continue to further mock me. She even voted my review "funny". Thank you for cheating me out of my money along with making a paying customer deal with a continuing problem. Please work on your business and move on. Than Original Review: Cheated me out of my money from my groupon. Gave no instruction or help in booking an appointment. No parking when I got there. Were not thorough in explanation of the process so ended up booking a 2 hour massage on top of my Groupon. So confusing and I paid a shit ton for it, learned my lesson to not do this ever again. Today got a text from her assistant asking people to vote them for Best Spa in SB. I didn't want to nor did I ever want a text from them again. Asked to delete my number from their subscription list. Then her assistant followed up with a text telling me off after this whole situation happened 5 months ago? Never wrote a review until now because better left in the past and it's a small business. But such disrespect for me when I was speaking my mind and explaining how I felt cheated by the whole process and for it to be rehashed now and for her assistant to take her boss' side of the story? Of course she will! Of course everyone will when you do not hear both sides of the story. "Not cool." read more

Spa Escape - Spa Escape replied to my review and then further it by voting my review "funny".... cool. - Day Spas Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This was my first time getting eyelash extensions. I was told from a few friends that they are a little weird to get used to...they must have had them done at the wrong place! Yolanda was so thorough and extremely professional, I honestly don't feel my extensions at all! I've had so many compliments and most people just think I'm blessed with long lashes . If you're looking to get extensions Yolanda is the lady to see! read more

Amazing place to escape for a massage and facial. I was in Santa Barbara in town for a work event and wanted to get a nice spa experience. Yolanda was very detailed and thorough. She uses Epicuren which are great enzyme products for my dry and tight skin. Yolanda is very personable with a great personality. Her massage put me right to sleep! 5 stars all the way. read more

Yolanda is an amazing deep tissue massage therapist!!! I highly recommend her. At their website you can easily book an appointment online.

I am addicted to Spa Escape! I have gone a few times now and always want to write a rave review. I am a dancer and former athlete with some serious injuries. I have been to physical therapists, trigger point therapy, rolfing, and tried many massage therapists in hopes to find some relief and permanent healing. Yolanda is the absolute best so far as she not only has the professional knowledge and experience required, but she also has an intuition and healing hands for what is not working so well. I have been amazed each time and I am going to continue with Spa Escape as my therapy for healing. I see other reviews describing her as having magic hands, and I definitely agree. Magical, intuitive, and healing. Thank you Spa Escape and Yolanda! read more

Yolanda is amazing. We randomly stumbled upon her in a last minute attempt to get massages during our vacation in Santa Barbara and we lucked out. She came in early and adjusted her schedule to accommodate us. She was so good that she had a cancelation later in the afternoon and my friend went back for a second massage! We will be planning our next trip to Santa Barbara around her schedule :) read more

Yolanda gave me a luxurious 75 min facial, including foot and upper body massage. She accommodated me being 6 months pregnant and made me very comfortable. She is knowledgeable and attentive. The atmosphere is relaxing and down to earth. read more

Yolanda is AMAZING! I hired her for my wedding hair and makeup. Not only is she incredibly affordable, she takes the time to truly listen and understand how you want to look and feel on your special day. Her fun and vibrant energy kept interacting with her fun and enjoyable. I felt like one of my girlfriends was doing my hair and makeup. This is not to overshadow her professionalism. The was so wonderful to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you Yolanda!! read more

Yolanda did an amazing job on my new lash extensions! She is thorough, precise, and creative, a true artist. She gave me a perfect set of lashes that really flatter and accentuate the shape of my eyes. Not to mention, Yolanda is a lovely person, just a pleasure to be with! Spa Escape has a relaxed feel, immaculately clean, with spacious treatment rooms. Best lash extensions EVER!!! read more

I found Spa Escape through Groupon and am so glad I went! Yolanda gave me a fantastic massage--she couldn't massage my back because I had a rash on it, so she focused on my legs, feet, arms, and hands. This was definitely the BEST foot massage I've ever gotten--most masseuses don't spend much time on the feet! I then got an incredibly relaxing facial from her--so much so that I fell asleep for a little bit. I do tend to fall asleep during massages/facials if they are relaxing enough, so this is usually a compliment. She was super friendly and even asked if I had a music preference before we got started, and also made conversation with me during the treatment which helped me stay awake for the first half of it, haha. I absolutely LOVED the hot towel on my back at the end, topped off with a quick shoulder rub. It was the perfect end to this amazing treatment. I would say this was probably one of the top spa treatments I've ever gotten in Santa Barbara. I will definitely want to come back at some point! read more

Have had two facials now at spa escape. Both were a great experience! She gets your skin really clean and uses high quality products. The massages are a nice addition to the service. Definitely recommend the pumpkin apple facial. read more

I went in for a massage because I work out every day and I'm constantly sore. I got a deep tissue massage and Yolanda (spelling?) really listened to my needs and did a amazing job. I could tell she really knew what she was doing. I've been to a lot of different places and this is my new favorite. I'll be returning for regular massages from now on. I highly recommend getting a massage here! read more

Yolanda's hands are amazing. This was my first full hot stone massage and I will definitely be back. My neck and back are my problem areas, and they feel like new after my session... the entire appointment was customized with an oil I got to choose, and I really loved the aromatherapy experience. read more

Just what I needed and Yolanda was incredibly relaxing. It was nice because you could tell that she still enjoys the craft. Can't wait to try the Hawaiin massage next!! read more

I came here because of the deal with the SB Access card. Yolanda gave me a wax. It went great, she's awesome and it was way easier and more comfortable than I thought! Will be returning!! read more

Yolanda is fantastic! I'm actually a fellow massage therapist and pretty picky about my massages and Yolanda is able to give me what I need. She is strong and able to work on those deep knots but also has a lovely soothing touch that allows you to feel like you got the work you needed while also getting some nurturing yumminess. I look forward to my next massage! read more

I went to spa escape for waxing all 4 years when I lived in Santa Barbara. Yolanda is professional and super sweet. Price was the best in the area. The interior design felt luxurious and relaxing! read more

Yolanda is amazing! She is so sweet, professional, and an amazing massage therapist. She always makes me feel like a million bucks and that's why I've been coming to her for over 5 years. I even got my boyfriend hooked on her massages too. Her space is inviting, adorable, and you truly feel as if you have escaped the hustle and bustle of every day life when you're there. Thanks Yolanda for your wonderful services. read more

I've been looking for a massage therapist & esthetisian for some time & I'm so happy I found Yolanda and Spa Escape. The salon is clean & welcoming. Yolanda is friendly & very outgoing. She gives a fabulous massage & facial, adjusting to my individual needs. I'll be back again soon. read more

I absolutely love coming to Spa Escape for my monthly deep tissue massage and facial. Yolanda is very sweet, professional, and knowledgable about great products for face and body.

Yolanda is all around amazing! This was my first time ever getting eyelash extensions and she was so knowledgeable and took her time to make sure my lashes were looking ON POINT. She even did a last minute eyebrow waxing and it turned out just how I wanted. The space is cozy, cute and welcoming. I'm so incredibly happy with my experience, my lashes and eyebrows! Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting eyelash extensions as Yolanda had me walking out feeling super beautiful! read more
