I had a massage this morning with Jesse, using a Living Social deal. I was a little nervous to have a male massage therapist, but Jesse is a really kind, gentle person (but with powerful hands!). I relaxed immediately and it was the best massage of my life! Some massage therapists focus very specifically on certain body parts and the rest of your body feels kind of disconnected - Jesse did the opposite. Somehow, he seemed to always be paying attention to my whole body. It made me feel like I was in some kind of wonderful energy cocoon, as strange as that sounds! Their prices are some of the cheapest in town, which is incredible to me. What a great experience - I'll definitely be back! read more

Got massages here last May and they were great! Such friendly service! Will definitely go back next time we're in SB!

So I am a little bit of a spa snob!! I am all about the ambiance and the overall experience! I give Kaye 5 stars!! Not only was the massage increadible, but the ambiance was very clean, modern, and relaxing! The sheets and blanket on the table made me feel incredibly comfortable! I have been to some very nice places for massages and this place was an a+!!!!!! read more

This is by far...hands down, the best massage I have ever gotten. It is truly wonderful and completely rejuvenating. I have been getting massages for years, and after moving to SB I found this hidden gem on groupon and have continued using their services. Kaye and Jesse have each given me a massage and are both equally talented. They listen to your requests and make the experience very relaxing. I felt very comfortable in the environment and plan on returning. Besides, the prices are unbeatable!!! Thank you! read more

Great massage. Very fairly priced for SB. Beautiful treatment rooms. Very responsive staff was flexible with scheduling needs. Will return for sure. read more

These guys came to my niece's bachelorette party and did a FANTASTIC job!!! They were so intuitive as to what we each wanted. I had a back massage and it was excellent. Not only that, but they were so friendly and fun - it felt like they were part of the party! I highly recommend them! read more

I received a gift certificate for an hour massage with Kaye. I went in this morning for my massage and was very pleased! I showed up about 15 minutes early and Kaye was already set up and ready for me. She was friendly and provided me with a relaxing session-just what I needed! The salon itself is pretty small, however the room was larger than your typical massage room which was nice. The salon also has a nice deck that has ocean views if you want to relax outside for a bit before or after. Another plus, Kaye is available by texting which was convenient! I hope to go back for more services soon.Thanks Kaye! read more

Such a great place! My masseuse was Jesse and it was probably the best massage I've ever gotten. He was great at finding and focusing on knots and was very thorough (I even got an ear massage). My only complaint is I would've liked a warm towel or something to wipe the oil off after. Overall, great experience, great price, would definitely do it again. read more

What can I say other than I am officially a regular! I purchased the couples massage on Groupon, which I have to say is an amazing deal considering how wonderful my massage was. My boyfriend loved Kaye, she was very attentive to his neck and back which are his problem areas. His comment was that she was the perfect combination of firm and relaxing. I absolutely adored Jesse! He was very professional and I was in complete bliss the entire time. I love a firm massage and he definitely delivered, I felt all my kinks and tension disappear. We left feeling like new peaceful people! Overall they were warm and created a welcoming environment for complete relaxation. We both can't wait to go back and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I bought a groupon massage and boy was I happy I did! Jesse was one of the most talented masseurs around and I get a lot of massages. He knows the body and how to work professionally but hit the areas that many other masseurs would miss. He style is very firm which I like but I do think next time I would have him ease up a bit just so it is more relaxing. However with this said my body feels better than it has in ages. He will be the first call I make when I get off the airplane from my vacation to work out all those kinks! read more

Had an amazing (first time) couples massage on valentines day last year. kaye worked on me & every muscle felt so relaxed during & for the rest of the day. My husband had jesse and he loved it! he felt nice, loose, & relaxed. They only expose the body part thats being massaged so you feel cozy all the time! Salon space is nice, relaxing & spacious, parking is good, & easy to find. (Second floor) kaye & jesse are sweet, professional, and they both have awesome strong hands! read more

The room's atmosphere is superb and the view from the back patio makes the place truly refreshing. I felt extremely comfortable with Kaye and the pressure was exactly how I asked for it to be. read more

My husband and I have been to Kaye and Jesse twice for a couples massage and I would highly recommend them both. Their space is small (which I personally love), but well appointed and soothing. Moreover, they're both excellent masseuses! If you're thinking about a massage - definitely check out Upscale. I've been to numerous spots around town and I'll be coming back here. read more

The best massage place ever! I was comfortable the moment I walked-in. Not only are the massage done wonderfully, but their customer service is unbeatable. See you soon!!! read more

I moved to Santa Barbara from the East Coast and found Upscale Massage through a Groupon. Jesse is fantastic. I have lower back issues from a surgery about 20 years ago and explained this to Jesse. He knew exactly what to do by working on my hip flexors, which loosened the pressure on the lower back. I am also impressed by the professionalism. Always on time, always courteous including thoughtful reminders, even after I had to reschedule three times before finally making my appointment. I bought the full package of nine sessions (very good deal) and will continue on a weekly schedule going forward. Thanks Jesse and Kaye, so happy I found you! read more

I recently enjoyed a 90 minute massage by Jesse and it was really superb. I gave birth to my baby girl less than a month ago, so I was feeling 1) not great about my body generally, and 2) exhausted and generally stressed / tense from the pressure of being a new mommy, and let me tell you, this massage was exactly what I needed! Jesse could not have done a better job - he made me feel totally comfortable and at ease, and the massage made all of my new mommy stress and aches just fade away. I really felt like a new person afterwards! In short, this was one of the best massages I have ever had and I can't wait to book my next appointment. I highly recommend Upscale Massage. read more

I and my husband have got couple massage from Kay and Jesse twice. We both really satisfied with the massage. I do facial myself and have been thru many massage lessons. So I know what the good massage should be like. And both of them do really good in pressure and speed as long as you can tell them what you like. read more

I scheduled my massage with Jesse. At first, I wasnt sure how I felt about having a male masseuse, but Jesse was incredibly professional, and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable. I felt great for days after, and I still dont think the shoulder knots are back!! He did an excellent job, and was very responsive to my needs. I highly recommend Upscale, and plan to return soon!! read more

My best friend and I went to Upscale Massage yesterday and had 90-minute massages. They were absolutely fantastic! Kaye and Jesse were very professional, knowledgeable, and very accomodating. Top notch! I can't wait to go back for my next massage! read more

Great massage. She really worked on the spots that needed it most. I really like the zen feeling of the space and the fact that it's dimly lit. FYI- if you want deep tissue, you must request it and it's $20 extra. I highly recommend Kaye. read more

I have had massages from both Kaye and Jessie, and they were great! At the end of one of their 90 minute massages I am so relaxed I can barely stand up. They are set up to do couples massage as well which is fun. Another poster complained about not enough pressure and that was not my experience at all. I was pretty amazed that Kaye was able to keep up such good strong pressure for 90 minutes without interruption. It makes my hands hurt just thinking about it . . . read more

My boyfriend and I went last week and had a couples massage that I purchased off of Groupon. We have only had a few couples massages but enjoyed our experience here. I had Kaye and he had Jesse. Kaye did a great job with working multiple areas and making the massage feel longer than an hour. She covered pretty much everything and I really liked the oil. My boyfriend said he like Jesse a lot as well! read more

Was so pleased with my massage with Jesse. Nice quiet location and very friendly and prompt response when leaving a message! One of best massages I have ever had! read more

I was asked before the massage started regarding any areas I needed work on. The environment was comfortable, friendly, RELAXING. That is why I went, so much stress in my life, I thought it was worth a shot. I got my massage from Kaye through the Groupon. But I also met Jessie, they are both nice people. First time I was there I was amazing by how good it felt, the massage was a full 90 min but I wished it was longer. I've been there 2 more times since and each time was as wonderful as the last. Early in each massage I was asked about the pressure and if I wanted it firmer or more gentle and adjustments were made accordingly. I left each time feeling lighter. 3 last things 1- the location was only slightly difficult to find (parking lot was obvious, you just need to go upstairs) 2- I think of the episode of Modern Family where Phil gives Jay a massage and Jay blurts out "I love you!" I've thought of that scene a few times during the massage. 3- it takes a bit of time after you leave to reengage the real world read more

Regular massages with Jesse at the Lotus Spa has helped me more than physical therapy and chiropractic combined. I have been going to him for over a year and a half now. I have always felt comfortable, safe and listened to. I purchase deep tissue, as that is what my body needs but when I have occasionally wanted a relaxing swedish massage, he has always lightened up accordingly. I believe that the negative post earlier about feeling uncomfortable had to be some sort of miscommunication. There is no doubt in my mind that Jesse is absolutely professional, honorable, and upstanding. He has always draped appropriately and has never made me feel uncomfortable in any way. Because of my trust in his care I have also sent my daughter and my son for massages, when they have had sports injuries. I've had only super positive feedback from everyone I have sent there. He is a genuine healer with both skill and intuition. Jesse and his partner Kaye are a magnificent team, very professional and full of integrity. read more
