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

Sugar SB is truly the best! I started going there when they first opened and have continued to only trust them with my sugaring. I live in San Diego now and still drive up there at least every 6 weeks to get my sugaring done!! Michelle is hilarious and completely takes your mind off of the whole process with all her funny stories. I've never been treated by any of the other Sugar girls, but I've met them all in passing and they all seem amazing - truly the most welcoming, sweet staff! They also now carry the cutest clothes and accessories - it's always such a treat going into Sugar 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. Do yourself a favor and get sugared!!! read more

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

I've had lash lifts done before, but nothing compares to the quality and care you get at Sugar! Sienna did my lift and tint and they turned out absolutely incredible. I have naturally long eyelashes and she was able to get them perfect and curled. She made the whole experience so comfortable and relaxing, I felt so taken care of the entire time. If you are looking for a lash lift and tint, Sugar is THE place to go. I definitely will be coming back. read more
