Chris and Leah organized everything so beautifully and seamlessly throughout the process, making the entire experience feel effortless and completely taken care of.

On the wedding day, Adrieanna completely exceeded every expectation with her services. Her level of talent and attention to detail is honestly extraordinary. She worked flawlessly with different hair textures, skin tones, ages, and styles, and every single person looked and felt beautiful. My makeup lasted literally the entire day and night without needing touch-ups, and my hair stayed perfectly in place through everything. The final look somehow felt polished, elevated, and glamorous while still feeling completely like me. Beyond the artistry itself, the entire team brought such a calming, positive, professional energy to the day. Everything was timely, organized, and flawlessly executed from start to finish. Truly next level in every way, and one of the best decisions we made for the wedding.

They listened to the various requests from all of us getting ready and made suer we were happy with the results before they left. They worked around a lot of different skin tones (from pale to dark skin) and lots of different hair types (including extensions) and did so without any issues or complaints!

I originally started with her for just waxing (she had a special for brow, lip & bikini) and have also done spray tans, facials, and make up. Michelle was originally working at another salon/spa, but has since opened her own and I've been very happy. Her new spa is very clean and eclectic, with a boutique in front. Waxes: From the first time I saw her, she has always put me at ease during the bikini waxing process. She has plenty of hilarious stories to tell that really make you forget what is going on down there. She always does a fantastic job on my eyebrows, which is impressive as I have naturally curly eyebrow hairs. You can tell she has a bit of OCD as she spends as much time needed to perfect your wax- going back and tweezing or trimming individual hairs. Spray Tans: I am very fair skinned and burn easily in the sun, but I've always wanted to see what I would look like a shade or two darker. Michelle told me all the steps to prepare for the spray tan, and how to maintain it. That night I was a little afraid, since the tan leaves a residue before you shower that looks about a billion times darker than you will end up. After I showered the next day, I looked amazing! It was just darker than my natural color, so I looked like I had tanned at the beach all weekend (with no sun damage!). Facials: SO relaxing! Michelle has always been great about recommending certain products for my skin, but is never pushy. I always leave feeling super relaxed and clean. My skin looks so great afterwards! Makeup: Michelle has done my makeup for my husband's office holiday party, and the makeup for my wedding (bridesmaids, mom, and myself). We all looked so good! She changed the makeup style for each of the girls based on what would look good (younger sister got a slight cat eye) but everyone still had the same theme so it didn't look like everyone was separate.

I recently had the most amazing Brazilian bikini waxing experience at Sugar in Santa Barbara, and I just have to share how exceptional it was, all thanks to my fantastic esthetician, Haley! From the moment I stepped into the salon, Haley's warm and friendly demeanor put me at ease, setting the tone for an incredible visit. Haley's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process. She took the time to listen to my preferences and concerns, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her attention to detail was truly remarkable, leaving me with flawless results that exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was Haley's skillful approach to the waxing service. Despite my initial apprehension, she made the process surprisingly painless and quick. Her confident and gentle touch showcased her mastery in the art of Brazilian bikini waxing, making me feel more at ease than ever before during such a service. In addition to her outstanding expertise, Haley's friendly and personable nature made the experience even more enjoyable. She created a warm and inviting atmosphere, making me feel like I was catching up with an old friend. Her ability to connect with her clients on a personal level is truly a testament to her professionalism and dedication to providing the best possible service. Furthermore, I must commend Sugar in Santa Barbara for maintaining an impeccably clean and hygienic environment. The salon's commitment to cleanliness and sanitation further added to my peace of mind during the visit. I will never go back to regular wax again, sugar is the only way to go! read more

Obsessed with the Sugar! I have tried sugaring with everyone that works at Sugar and they are all worth the wait. Seriously everyone is so good, gentle, and respectful. Everyone has been so sweet and gone out of there way to make sure that I'm comfortable. I used to wax and then decided to try sugaring when I moved back to Santa Barbara and I will definitely not be going back to waxing. My hair grows back slower and is finer since I started going to Sugar regularly. Michelle always gives the best advice on how to maintain clean and soft skin. To say that she has perfected Sugaring would be an understatement, because she is that talented at what she does. Celeste is hands down the Brow Queen. Satara and Kiara are wonderful and have been so great whenever I needed to make a last minute appointment. Grateful for all of these ladies who keep me feeling so fresh and so clean! read more

I love this place. Michelle is the absolute best and makes you feel so incredibly comfortable. The result itself is so pretty and gentle on your skin. Celeste does my eyebrows and she's also fantastic. I have usually always done my own but an accident put me out and i really needed a clean. Don't regret it and I'll come go to her from now on. I really appreciated her asking me what I wanted instead of telling me what I needed. She gave me exactly what I wanted and even when they have grown out, they still look put together because the shape is pretty precise. 10/10 recommend! read more

I love me some sugar! I have the most sensitive skin. I always break out with waxing no matter how perfect for sensitive skin the wax/technique is. I was nervous to try being sugared, bit So thankful I did. I have never had one single issue...no breakouts, rash, redness.....nothing other then perfectly smooth hair free skin. The girls at Sugar are amazing. They are all so kind, so professional, so welcoming. I adore them all. I have been a customer at sugar for over a year now and will never go anywhere else.

Celeste is the best, no joke, she is called "The Brow Master" and it is 100% true! She listens to what you want and does just that! She also helps you to see things you didn't even realized you needed, ie I have very light brows and was extremely unsure of darkening them but she was patient with me and slowly tinted them to get me use to it. Now I love them darker so much and see how they frame my face but would never have done that without Celeste's help! read more
