Clara is amazing! She was very gentle my first time waxing in a long time. As someone who hates strangers touching them, it is easy to be vulnerable around her while she works away. She's a great conversationalist and always let's me lead if I ask for a break or a countdown. I've been back several times and she's been able to leave me smooth and as close to painless as possible. Highly recommend her. The studio is also really clean and well lit, wish there was a fan in the room though. Other than that adorable little space! read more

I got a spray tan and lash lift/ tint from Clara and she was amazing! So so sweet and she totally got me right as someone who is very pale and has short lashes. I totally recommend!!! read more

Sweet Cheeks - Nails did! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Clara, owner of Sweet Cheeks is the best in town! I will not go anywhere else. I recommend her highly to anyone in need of waxing or lashes. She is efficient with her time and very reasonably priced; you can't get this amazing combination anywhere in Santa Barbara. Clara is truly an exceptional aesthetician - she is extremely knowledgeable and quick to answer questions. She truly makes you feel comfortable about whatever service you are choosing. I appreciate that Clara always goes above and beyond to make sure that I am 100% happy. Clara will accommodate your schedule too, she's very easy to work with! read more

I have been going to Sweet Cheeks for sugaring for years, but finally tried lash extensions for the first time! To say that I am thrilled with the result is an understatement. I feel so beautiful in my new lashes, and am so happy with the results. If you are considering trying lash extensions for the first time, I cannot recommend Sweet Cheeks enough. Clara was so kind, explained the process, and made sure I understood all of the best ways to extend the lifetime of my lashes post-appointment. Clara is an expert, and all of my questions were answered. Thank you so much! read more

I've gotten tanned, sugared, and lashed here and all have been happy experiences. Clara runs a great business and is very welcoming!! And the fact that she offers student discounts is very considerate. read more

I've been seeing Clara since she first opened and got a groupon! She is so wonderful and professional and it is worth the trip to IV for those of us who live downtown :) read more

Very disappointed. I got sugared here and was not impressed. She didn't use anything to cleanse the skin before sugaring, she didn't use powder, and no products to remove the sugar or calm the skin. She also didn't brace or apply pressure which lead to extreme bruises left on me in multiple areas. This was much more painful than services I've had at different places. read more

I went to get my lashes done with a lash tech named Veronica that I believe works here at sweet cheeks. She booked me last minute which I really appreciated. Her work is great as I have seen it from lashes my cousin has gotten from her previously and pictures of her work online, but the customer service was not all the way there. I wouldn't leave this review if I didn't think there was an issue but I don't ever want anyone to feel how I did and if she has a service she should know how to approach situations like these. The first red flag should have been that she didn't sit and try to figure out what I wanted for my set. I sent her pictures of what I wanted and she sent me what she could do which was particularly the same. Wispy light lashes. When I arrived she just laid me down and was going to begin her work. I immediately stood up Bc I felt it's important to actually communicate what I was looking for regardless of our message and explained to her what I was looking for and that I had an awful experience the first time I got my lashes Bc the tech didn't do what I wanted. When she finished my lashes she didn't hand me a mirror to immediately see the work she has done and told me she was done. when I looked at the Mirror I was shocked to see that the same has happened I didn't get the lashes I wanted or was looking for. They all held the same length and didn't have a "wispy" feel to it explained to her that I understand that they might look different Bc my eye shape but it wasn't the way I wanted it to look and it looked like a totally different thing then I asked for. I asked if there was anything we could do and she just looked at her phone and stayed silent she said the glue was too fresh and there was nothing she could do. I couldn't help but cry Bc of the frustration of not getting what I was going to pay for and her not saying anything at all to my disappointment. Instead of offering a lash removal to accommodate me since It wasn't what I wanted but she just stayed on her phone silent. This review is just for the girls that are too shy to say what they feel sometimes. If you accidentally get what u didn't want instead of trying to fix the issue she'll just stare at you blankly and not say anything. read more

Love this place! I don't go anywhere else for all my sugaring needs (I live part time in a different city and I make sure to get my appointment with Clara when I'm in town). Clara is extremely professional, fast, efficient, and gentle. Such a sweet gal too! If you're new to sugaring, this is just the place for you! read more

I've recently started getting my lashes, tan, and sugaring done here and I've had great results, my sugaring was perfect and super affordable. Every lash fill Clara has done on me I've gotten so many compliments on. I've had my friends say my lashes look more natural and fluffy compared to other lash sets I've had from different places. I just recently got a spray tan for the first time here and I'm loving it, It was really easy to do and Clara helped me feel comfortable and made me look so good! I really enjoy getting services done here read more

First time I walked into Sweet Cheeks was almost a year ago and Clara was so warm and welcoming. I had never been to the space and it's ABSOLUTELY beautiful, incredibly clean and has such a beautiful aesthetic. I wasn't aware on whether she took walk ins but she informed me on booking online and it was such an easy process(fit me in the next day!) I've gone to her ever since and each time she leaves me with great results! Thank you Clara read more

I got a volume full set done with Clara and they came out just like the picture i showed her! she finished faster than my appointment time and was a really nice person to talk to! read more

Clara has done such amazing work on my eyebrows & because of that I won't let anyone else touch them! She took a feature that I really disliked (they were uneven, wild & generally messed up from plucking them back when I was in high school) & made them into something I actually love! She's also my go-to person for Brazilians. She works delicately enough so that a process that's inherently painful by nature is more tolerable. read more

I'm a newbie at lashes and I did my research with where to go and I landed at Sweet Cheeks! The booking process is so easy and Clara always gets me in right away. So far, I've gone for a full set of lashes and a fill and she has made me feel super comfortable about if anything's bothering me and really pays attention to detail. Ive gotten so many compliments on my lashes and I love them because they look so natural! I have the volume set. Highly recommend! read more

Sweet Cheeks - Volume set of lashes - Spray Tanning Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Do not recommend! Disrespectful staff. Never showed up to my appointment. Can you imagine a business missing their appointment?? Haha

First timer here, and totally hooked on the air brush tanning offered. Immediate results and amazed at how great my tan is looking! Totally loved the convenience of scheduling online, and being able to see her availability on the calendar. The online instructions are super clear and make it super easy to schedule an appointment. She does not take phone calls, and no need to call her since everything is super easy to do online for scheduling/appointments/questions. Will definitely be returning and am excited to find a great local business like this! read more

Always great service and happy with all of my services with Clara! She is always considerate of my crazy schedule and proactive when I am due for my sugar & lashes, which is so helpful! I have had my lashes done at numerous places in SB and have not been this happy with my lashes! They are amazingly full, not heavy, and Clara is always standing behind her work making sure I am satisfied with my lashes! I am Asian and my lashes are fine & straight, so my lash extensions are important to me!!! I have been to other salons for them paid a lot for them & never had anyone tell me how to care for them correctly or check in with me to see how they are a few days after application. Clara is mindful of my past experience with skin sensitivity to the glue & hygiene, so I have never experienced any infection or reaction to the lashes or glue! As for my sugaring, no complaints always clean, easy, quick and NO HIVES! I never leave with any skin issues and none ever come up after! My tans are always even, no streaks, and no weird dark palms or feet from overspray because she applies the perfect amount of barrier lotion & is meticulous when she is applying the spray tan! Last but not least-brows! The shape is always spot on and accurate! Love them! Clara is an amazing esthetician and her bedside manner is wonderful! The salon is always clean & super cute! Her hours are awesome and prices are so reasonable! I am so thankful for sweet cheeks & clara!!! read more

This was my first time getting eyelash extensions and I love the way they turned out!

A cute and quaint place - Clara does a great job at what she does. She is very thorough, and her prices are seriously unbeatable.

Clara did my spray tan for solstice as well as a sugaring for me before my cabo trip and both turned out amazing! I will post a picture of my spray tan but not the sugaring . She was professional and sweet and she looks like a kardashian:) I liked her so much that I came back for the spray tan. Make sure you pay attention to the directions on where to go because it can be tricky to find the first time you go. The studio is super cute also! I will definitely be back :) read more

Sweet Cheeks - I'm on the right :) - Spray Tanning Near Me - Isla Vista, California

I just moved to Goleta from Sacramento and I was having trouble finding someone I can trust with my thin haired brows. Low and behold I searched on yelp and read great reviews about Clara and how she's amazing and matches your eyebrow shape to your face! She met all expectations. She's extremely good at what she does and she has the best personality. I now have a great esthetician to trust my brows with =). Clara is the best, go to her and you won't regret it. She is located inside of Shear Artistry 271 N. Fairview Avenue. suite 102 Goleta, Ca 93117 read more

Sweet Cheeks - Clara is amazing ! - Spray Tanning Near Me - Isla Vista, California

Clara is the best when it comes to lash and eyebrow tinting! Couldn't recommend her more!

First time customer, will definitely return! Clara did such a great job on my eyebrows! I had only had waxing done in the past, and the sugaring process she uses is wonderful since my skin wasn't painfully sore/red afterwards. It's always nerve racking going to a new salon because you don't how your "usual" will be perceived, but Clara listened and shaped my brows exactly as I'd hoped. Thanks again! read more

Been coming here for lash extensions , sugaring and spray tans for the past for years ! It's always clean, professional and she is always so efficient , missing getting services during this time ! Highly recommend her student deals and online booking ! read more

I have been going to Sweet Cheeks for about 8 or 9 months now and i only have the best things to say! Clara is the absolute sweetest and the salon is adorable. They're booking is super simple and she is always willing to make accommodations for her clients. I am a spray tan freak and have been going to her weekly for spray tans for some time now and they always look amazing. I never leave sticky and she always makes sure my tan looks even. I highly highly recommend checking her out and booking an appointment. She offers a ton of other services you can see on her instagram which is @ sweetcheekslovesyou read more

Clara is an exceptional aesthetician who goes the extra mile to make her clients comfortable. I have gone to Sweet Cheeks for multiple spray tans and lash fills. Clara takes the time to custom mix an organic color that will look natural for your starting color. The tan smells great and lasts a long time. I was excited to hear when Clara started doing lashes. I have gotten a full set from her once and fills twice and each time I've been very happy with the way they turned out. Full and voluminous but still manageable--not too heavy on the eyelid and just natural enough to make people wonder if they are real or not! All in all, Sweet Cheeks is a fabulous choice for a local beauty boutique. read more

I've gotten my eyebrows waxed here twice and Clara is the best! She uses French wax and it's honestly so painless; it's the best experience I've had getting my eyebrows waxed. I was nervous to try out a new aesthetician in IV, but Clara is so professional and kind. Would def recommend! read more

Super sweet!!! Best vibes and location. Def recommend for all your waxing/sugaring needs!!!

Got my very first set of eyelash extensions and I could not be happier! Clara did an amazing job. She was so sweet and gave me exactly what I wanted! I will definitely be returning to Sweet Cheeks - new fav spot in Goleta for all my esthetic needs! read more

Completely unprofessional communication skills. I called the store 3 separate times and left 3 different message via yelp throughout the span of a week. I had high hopes for the place due to the ratings, but the lack of communication (not even a sorry were unavailable at any time this week) was ridiculous. Sometimes the worst customer service is no service at all. What a shame. read more

Been coming here for sugaring for a while now and Clara is incredibly sweet and approachable, not to mention really efficient which makes the waxing practically painless. I recommend her to anyone thinking of trying out sugaring :) read more

I love Sweet Cheeks and really recommend this place! Clara is such a sweet person, very professional and patient. Her work is amazing, very time I get my lashes done by her I always got compliments on how natural they look. She's also very attentive and fun to talk to while getting worked on. I would recommend anyone to her and she's very affordable. It definitely doesn't cost you an arm and a leg when spoiling yourself with her services. read more

Can't say enough good things about Sweet Cheeks! I have been going to Sweet Cheeks for about 6 months now and I love how secluded the location is, how there is always parking and how beautiful and clean the salon is! I also adore Clara and love how she takes the time to talk to you about how your life is going. Clara could easily do my lashes in silence but I love how welcomed she makes me feel as we talk about what is pressing on our hearts that day! I love my lashes and I love the process of getting them filled while I catch up with my new friend! read more
