I had such a great experience at G Spa, definitely 5 stars! I've seen Karen and Ashley, and they're both amazing. They make you feel so comfortable, take their time, and really listen to what you want. I've had Botox and lip filler done, and I'm so happy with my results. Everything looks super natural and exactly how I envisioned. The whole team is professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Highly recommend G Spa if you're looking for quality treatments and people you can trust! read more

I went in to The G Spa to see Karen for neurotoxins. She's extremely thorough, kind, patient and thoughtful. The front desk is also amazing. Highly recommend going to see them. read more

I love my new face!!!! The same old me but 15 years younger. I had such a pleasant experience with Ashley RN and the staff. I will be returning soon for another round of Dermal fillers and Botox. Thank you ladies!!! read more

The two stars would be for the friendly service, but other than that. I'm very unsatisfied with the outcome of my 10 treatments to remove my tattoo. I'm going to quit here because of the hyperpigmentation scarring, and the ink, still very visible I will attach photos There is also a white pigment change that is similar to the ones on my neck under my eye, right below where I had had the laser. I don't know how that happened, but it happened after the last treatment in short on a mess. read more

The "The Office Manager", Kathy is the reason I will not return. She is condescending , and unnecessarily controlling. I'm guessing that perhaps her job title as office manager has gone to her head . I found the atmosphere very unprofessional. Diane, the aesthetician is very good and a sweet person. If she ever goes somewhere else, I would enjoy working with her again. read more

I'm sorry to say i booked an appointment at the G-spa for filler. I went to my appointment and was told I need a treatment before I have the filler because it will be obvious that I had fillers if I didn't get this treatment that cost $600.00. They called it skin vevve, or something like that. I said ok thinking this is what I needed to do. I was feeling very uncomfortable about the situation I was in so I called a friend that has had fillers and she said it didn't sound right and gave me the name of her person in ventura. I called them and they didn't understand why when this skin vevve is the same thing as the filler I was asking for but doesn't last as long and is not as good as what I wanted.The filler I wanted is $900.00 a vile at the G-Spa and my new appointment in Ventura is $650.00 a vile. I never write reviews but felt I needed to do this to let my fellow older ladies that you really need to research what you're doing. I was also told I would need 8 viles , I'm guessing that they were thinking I want to look 40 years old when I'm 69 years old but that is not my goal. My goal is to be the best 69 year old I can be. Keep the faith ladies, research. read more

I had a severe negative reaction to a filler, which, yes, I know can happen. I experienced a fever, highly flushed face, horrible itching and burning. For near 2 weeks I slept with 3 ice packs on my face, went to 2 Dermatologists for treatment then 1 to my primary physician and an additional appointment on an emergency basis to finally get some relief with shots, creams, and a course of steroids. The G Spa office was notified and the front desk did ask me to call back with results, which I did the first week, however their owner, a physician herself ,did not call back for a conversation to help me in any way. Since it was so severe the second week, I reached out again to the G Spa to Spa to have a conversation and was not contacted. I ultimately called back again and was told my case was noted and Dr. Griffin would not be contacting me. So much for patient appreciation or perhaps learning some treatment info to assist a future unlucky patient. Very dissapointed and quite frankly shocked at their lack of concern or follow up. I was not looking in any way to be hostile. I only wanted to have a conversation and additio ally give the Dr. Griffin so.e potentially helpful info for the future. read more

I've had a different person do my Botox each time and every time they've been extremely kind and I've been really happy with the results

Love The G Spa! The girls are so sweet and funny and the staff does a great job! Dr. Griffin does a thorough consultation before any work and she really opened my eyes to the possibilities of Botox in other areas of my face. Usually I go in just asking for units in my forehead and she provided great suggestions for a more youthful look in other places. Cayley is a newer injector and she did such a great job with my Botox, touch-up Botox, and I was her model for lip filler - she was phenomenal. I didn't feel a thing and she made me very relaxed and comfortable during the process. Painless and they look awesome! Finally found my SPOT! thank you all! read more

I love this spa. I've been seeing Dr. Griffen for nearly 3 years now and I would never go anywhere else. I have horrible TMJ and she truly takes the time to listen and makes sure I feel comfortable with any procedure. She never pushes and has been the only person who has helped with this struggle. She is kind, honest, and amazing at what she does. Also, the women at the front desk are so sweet, helpful, and comforting. Thank you G Spa! read more

I had Botox recently around my eyes. The procedure left me with deep embarrassing welts. G Spa refused to refund my money.

Dr Griffin is amazing. You will leave feeling refreshed, happy and younger. Never over done. Dr Griffin and her incredible staff will make you feel like you are the only patient. I have never felt rushed. I only go to the G Spa with Dr. Griffin because I only go to the best. Never go anywhere else. read more

I Love The G-Spa!!! SUPERB Doctors And Staff!!! I LOVE my new face and lips!!! I wanted more, More, and MORE Botox, Lip Filler and anything else I felt I needed. BUT! The Dr said, "No. I'm sorry. I'm not going to do that. I have to protect you from yourself". I love that she was not out for my money. I love that she put the importance of the natural look before the "almighty dollar" in her pocket! I highly Recomend The G-Spa!!! read more

The "consult" is a $150 sales pitch for a variety of services or products never asked about. My questions and area of concern weren't addressed or examined until after the sales pitch. Very little listening happening here, such a a shame. Save your money. read more

I left The G Spa in tears recently because I was so happy with the results I received from just a few minor treatments. Awhile back I saw Dr. Griffin for lip filler, but she's a doctor of integrity and honesty and also has a very trained eye. She informed me that due to previous filler, my top lip was protruding, looking very unnatural. She was able to simply dissolve the filler, for a VERY small cost and then with her artistic eye, gave me filler that made my lips proportionate to my face. I also had smile lines that have been bothering me for years and she was able to get rid of them within minutes with a few pokes of filler! My brother is a renowned facial plastic surgeon and when he saw me on Zoom afterwards, he was blown away! (Yes, I go to Dr. Griffin for my Botox & filler and not my brother). I can't stop looking at my face and smiling!! Thank you, Dr. Griffin!!! read more

If you need tattoo fading or removal, this is the place to go. The G Spa has been a welcoming and stress-free aspect of my life that I actually look forward to visiting. I've never run into a problem with scheduling, treatment services, or location. the staff are all extremely friendly and accommodating, and they keep a nice relaxed atmosphere. Cayley was my nurse for treatment; her positive attitude and friendly demeanor made the treatment process so much easier. The staff at G Spa ensure you have a clear understanding of the service you're asking for and talk you through the preparation, treatment, and recovery processes in depth. Highly recommend for anyone considering tattoo removal/fading. read more

Dr. Griffin is amazing, she listens to what patients want, does an incredible job with treatments and does not try to oversell you on additional treatments that you don't want or need. Her prices are very reasonable which I appreciate so much! Thank you, Dr. Griffin! read more

well... as we get older we become aware of every line, wrinkle and the texture change in our skin. I had never been to a medi spa and I finally got the courage up to go. I was referred by a friend to the G spa. I am so happy I went. Dr. Griffin and her staff are amazing, professional and talented. I was so nervous!!! I had no idea what I needed... Dr. Griffin was so amazing! Now The G Spa is my beauty secret. I love the Pico laser , Botox and the lip moisture treatment. I have referred my friends for some facial filler and they love it read more

Cayley is the best! I was nervous about laser hair removal- about the pain and the results. She answered all my questions and the pain was significantly less than i thought it would be. Plus the results have been amazing- i've only had 3 sessions and i have no hair left under my arms and am nearly there with my bikini area. Cayley is so sweet and makes you feel comfortable during the whole process. Highly highly recommend laser hair removal with Cayley!! read more

Hello! I've done multiple sessions for tattoo removal. I have also done the picosure facial laser for acne scars and both have been with RN Cayley Cline!! She has been the sweetest and makes you feel so comfortable. She's super gentle and if you're in any pain during tattoo removal she will talk to you about doing lidocaine injections at the site. Never skip on the lidocaine injections.. they're a life saver, they will save you from so much pain. The staff is amazing at the front desk and never pressures you into buying more things. They talk to you about what your goal is and what you want done and are super informative. I love them! read more

I know plastic surgery and beauty treatments are extremely personal, and sometimes subjective, but the reason why I came here was for the EmSculpt, so I can't review this business based on anything aesthetically related. After I had my daughter, I experienced Diastasis Recti, and sadly, I felt like it changed my stomach muscles permanently. There are ways to fix it, like with surgery, usually during a tummy tuck, but I don't want surgery, and I don't want a tummy tuck. I just want my muscles to be put back together. So after some research, I learned that EmSculpt helps with Diastasis Recti. This spa is one of the only spas in town offering this service. EmSculpt comes as a series of four, 30 minute weekly sessions, so budget your time and schedule carefully. Depending on how much fat you carry around your midsection, they will determine how intense they will go on the machine. Mine was around the max of 60%. The EmSculpt Neo also has radiofrequency to help tighten the skin. I don't have a lot of fat on my stomach, but keep in mind, this machine will not resolve any love handles or any issues you have on the backside, unless you use it to build booty muscles. It's just working on the front core, which is fine, because that's what I signed up for. Well I'm not seeing dramatic changes in my body, but I was petite to begin with. I am however, feeling stronger with my core! I may sign up for another four sessions, to try to keep working on stitching together the muscles that were torn apart. But overall, I think I love the machine. It doesn't hurt and once you get used to it, kinda relaxing. Once I feel safe enough after the pandemic, I will sign up for Pilates to keep working on this issue. Dani at the front desk is the EmSculpt expert and she spent so much time discussing this product and what it could do for me. I appreciate that we have this service in town for women who want to try an alternative to plastic surgery. read more

Seriously the best in SB!!!! Sweetest group of gals and will always make sure your needs are met above and beyond

I got my lips done with Cayley Cline back in December and I am writing a review because I am STILL OBSESSED!! Not only did she take the time to establish where my lips were uneven, but she even consulted with another doctor which made me feel so well taken care of. My lips are now perfect and even and full and I feel better than ever. She was so incredibly nice and I am definitely going to be going back to her for more filler, and botox!! read more

Special shout out to Nurse Cayley Cline at the G Spa. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I wanted to try Potenza as I've been hearing really good things but was nervous about the procedure. Nurse Cayley put me at ease by explaining each step of the process. She is very skilled and I had no discomfort whatsoever. Cayley is kind and personable and above all an expert at skin care. I've seen her 3 times now and am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Potenza and if you're on the fence, reach out to Cayley and she'll answer all your questions and you'll be in good hands! read more

I absolutely love G Spa! I have worked with Caylee for injectables, tattoo removal, and potenza. Caylee is great I highly recommend her. Also I've started with sessions of em sculpt neo with the help of Dani and Taylor. They are so knowledgeable on the equipment and always check in with me during the sessions. I'm doing my waist, abs and already after 2 sessions I notice a total difference. G Spa is my one spot shop for all things medi spa! read more

Dr. G and her staff are fantastic. I've been going to her for several years and she has a wonderful eye, always making you the best version of yourself and within your comfort zone. She is a true gem with a great sense of humor!! read more

Cayley was great during my treatment, and I can't recommend her enough. She was very careful, professional, and kind. The front desk managers were also very kind and respectful, and they took great care in making sure clients were seen. read more

#CayleyLove 100% recommend! I wanted to take a moment and tell the world what an amazing experience I am having with Cayley at the G-Spa in Santa Barbara! There are so many good things to say about Cayley and the G-Spa I don't even know where to start... I originally consulted with the G-Spa for laser hair removal yet, decided to prioritize Picosure laser facials first because my melasma (sun damage from medication) was beginning to get so bad it was affecting my self esteem. I had a dark sun-moustache on my upper lip that was not only embarrassing but, a sore subject after a medication caused this abnormal facial discoloration (I was never told by my doctor that I was on any photosensitive medication). So, after thinking it over for a bit, I decided to get started on a spot treatment of my upper lip with the Picosure laser. When I started working with Cayley and the Picosure the results were immediate! I could see a reduction in the dark pigmentation of my upper lip and the pigment looked like it was breaking up. With each session I have seen a reduction in the degree of my stubborn melasma and the sessions have been worth every penny!!! I no longer feel like I have to wear makeup going out of the house and I am no longer embarrassed to be on camera or have a phot taken without makeup. Cayley and the G-Spa have been life changing for me. I'm excited to say now I am doing both laser hair removal and Picosure laser facials with Cayley!!! The laser hair removal I am having done are touch ups on laser hair removal I had 15 years ago (with another provider in another area). I am very happy with the concept of laser hair removal (if you are on the fence DO IT!!! It is soooooo worth the money!) and loved the work I had done over a decade ago yet, some "Hi, I am here!" hairs have popped back up. There are very few hairs but, just enough to be annoying! So, finally I decieded to get that done too as a gift to myself. Working with Cayley on laser hair removal has been great! She is so kind, patient and professional! I highly recommend Cayley, The G-Spa and their hair removal/Picosure laser to anyone who would ask! Goodbye melasma! Goodbye unwanted hair! Hello me! read more

Never go to Dr Griffin!!! Not only did she deform my face when I went to have it fixed or get my money back because the results were so obviously horrible, she would not admit her mistake even though the before and after was extremely obvious. Then I was verbally assaulted by the entire staff including Dr Griffin who told me to go $@$@ myself and she did not give $&@$ about me even though in our first appointment I explained I am coming back from 4 years of spine surgeries, 70 weeks in the hospital and over 5 surgeries for a rare spine condition that very painful and I wanted to start with a little pick me up looks wise to make me feel better. All in all I paid 2000 dollars to be deformed and verbally abused I have never been spoken to like that especially by a Dr to tell me to go $&@$ myself and she doesn't give $&@$ about me is just so unbelievably unprofessional and to let her staff of 4 grown women attack me in a tiny room while I am seated for her mistake is just down right wrong!! When I said I wasn't leaving until she dissolved the giant lump in my lip she threatened and called the cops to intimidate me. When I was just expressing how livid I was with results. Never go here unless you want to support a women who obviously does not care about women at all and just wants to get as much money as she can charge then when a mistake is made verbally assault your patient and threaten to call the cops if I don't leave with out being reimbursed or fixed, just so they can over charge me and get away with it. They refused to give me my medical chart which is legally mine, as well as my before and after picture, or an exact break down of what was used in my face and where and the price of each thing. Also if she tries to comment on this I recorded the entire encounter so I would happy to post that of the entry staff yelling at me and Dr Griffin herself saying she does not give a fuck about me. I left there sobbing and shaking because of how abusive they were it was extremely traumatizing first to have my face deformed and then be spoken to in that manner and refuse to fix the problem or give me a refund and when I said I am not leaving until one of those things happens they did from now what I have read there go to calling the police as if I did something wrong. We are going I will be proceeding with legal action. Update went to my normal person, Claire at Dr novatt she was able to dissolve the Giant lump in my lip, she found no evidence of filler anywhere in my face but the giant lump in my lip which after it is dissolved I have to have it redone because she ruined my bow and lip line on the right side....so I have no idea what I was charged for as they would not give me a breakdown of what they put where and my medical file. My mother had to call to find out what they put in my face as they would not answer me. She was also able to fix my brows from almost reaching my hairline!! Also just chatting in tube waiting room another young women said she went to the Gspa for the "5minute nose job" and it was completely botched and Claire is fixing that as well. No one could believe what I had gone through at the Gspa but I am just thankful for kind honest doctors in our town like Dr Novatt and his team no of which would ever say anything like that to anyone or botch them in the first place!! I am still completely traumatized!! read more

I have been going to the G Spa for years now. I am really grateful to Dr Griffin for having such state of the art equipment, and such a caring and professional staff! I love that I don't have to drive to LA to get the caliber of treatment I desire. Dr Griffin is very knowledgeable and caring. One of the few doctors that is actually protective of women's health. She is highly informed and has helped me stay at my optimum for my age. I truly appreciate her! And I truly appreciate her caring and meticulous nurse Diane! Her nurse, Diane, is excellent! She sincerely takes an interest in her patients! I trust her completely. She is very professional, caring and highly skilled with years of nursing experience. She is meticulous in her work, and I know she respects my time and money; I always leave feeling she went the extra mile for me, as she does for all her patients! The front desk staff is nothing short of adorable. Really kind and professional young women. I enjoy interacting with them! I highly recommend the G Spa! I thank Dr Griffin for her level of knowledge and care for women's health. I thank her for staffing the best nurse, Diane! I thank her for such an awesome front desk staff! They are professional, polite and kind. read more

Caley made me feel super comfortable and did an amazing job!! Highly recommend her and this med spa

I saw Cayley for lip injections and she did an incredible job! It was my first time receiving any sort of medical spa treatment so I was unsure what to expect, but Cayley did a great job explaining everything and answering all my questions. But most importantly, I love how my lips turned out -- very natural looking, simply accentuating my natural shape. read more

I had an incredible first experience at The G Spa. I have been looking for a laser hair removal spot in town and so glad I found them! The front office was extremely helpful on the phone when scheduling and when I came in for my first appointment. Cayley was incredibly knowledgable and comforting through the whole experience. In the past the laser hair removal procedures have been painful but this one was the complete opposite. I am looking forward to my next appointment and learning about other treatments they offer! read more

I've been going to the g spa for 4 years now and have had the best experience with Cayley Cline! She is super professional and goes out of her way to make sure that I'm comfortable every step of the way with laser hair removal. I've been so happy with the results as well! Can't recommend her enough. read more

I had a great experience at my appointment for laser hair removal and prepaid for another session, when COVID hit my appointment was cancelled via text message but I was never refunded my deposit. I have called numerous times leaving voicemails and no one has contacted me. I have since moved away from the area and cannot go in person to speak to anyone. Would not recommend pre paying, not trustworthy customer service. read more

Posting from iPhone because I am so elated with results! Monica is maybe the most knowledgeable and passionate aesthetician I've met. Formerly at Bacara and Camille, the young SB native has a background in makeup. She worked with a celebrity makeup artist in LA. Clients included Eva Longoria, Tori Spelling (a year behind me at Westlake School for Girls), and Kate Hudson (of whom I am not a fan but whose makeup and skin always looks stellar). Dr. Kathleen Griffin, owner of G Spa and a gynecologist, opened this total woman operation (inside and out) in 2004. It's a great spot--33 W Mission--with ample parking and it's not downtown. That's a plus in my book. I was at a wine /cheese event here to learn about the membership: 100/month with a 75 sign-up charge and 6 month minimum is a remarkable deal. Monthly benefits include Venus Freeze, microdermabrasion, various facials and more. Membership entitles you to a treatment as well as discounts on fillers. Dysport is cheaper here (5 without membership and 3.70 with). That's half the going rate and cheaper than med spas in ads for ridiculously cheap fillers you see in the LA Weekly and wonder, "Where the hell is that?!" I'm a WLA snob of course. I know Pasadena and Glendale and East/West Valley but North Valley and Glendora are terra incognita. And I thought Riverside was in the OC, which I despise except for Laguna. Having potentially offended a couple million people, let me assure SB and LA people that this spa, while not as visually lush as Evolutions or MAI, is a top notch facility. They sell product I will likely buy after the samples run out. Thank you, Groupon. If you buy get 3 for 150, not 1 for 69. So happy. read more

Excellent! I have been here for both laser hair removal and Botox. They are incredibly efficient and I never wait too long to get an appointment booked. They have a text/email reminder service that is a life saver, as I can be scatterbrained. Dianne (laser hair removal) is friendly and accommodating! Christie (Botox/face) is kind and well-informed! Big thanks to Sarah who recommended the OxyGenetix foundation - she was so knowledgeable and helpful in finding me a color that fit (this foundation is AH-MA-ZING!) Hannah was nice and helpful with explaining procedures. I also recently spoke to Cat (Kat?) who was also friendly and knowledgeable about the staff and services. All round a great place for services. Highly recommended. read more

This place hurt me! I have never been in so much pain and there is a doctor knew that I had sciatic nerve pain. I did the M sculpt procedure and it caused so much pain. They do not hold up the guarantee on their website that you will be happy. And are constantly harassing me for $800 for putting me in pain and making me lose two days of work. Do not waste your time or money here. read more

I'm disfigured as a result of a bad laser treatment. The first was not good, but I gave them one more chance and the last treatment with someone else is what scarred me. I have to go to a dermatology specialist now. The scarring may never go away sadly. The only thing they have provided is a refund. I'm paying out of pocket for medical care as a result. My self esteem and confidence is down the drain. read more

I have been going to the G Spa for over a year and I am so happy I found them. Dr. Kathleen Griffin and her staff are so kind and make you feel welcome. Dr. Griffin is so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things to you and only recommends what she feels would benefit one. I will sometimes email her to ask her a question on a procedure I am thinking of and she is quick to respond back. Her office is always able to accommodate me even on short notice. From botox to filler, and Emsculpt Neo I could not be more happier with their services and prices. They are amazing. And they also have a smaller office in Los Olivos with Nurse Kristie Devine who just did filler on me and I am so pleased with her artistic eye and her attention to detail. Thanks again for your services. read more
