Waxing near Isla Vista

“I can't say enough great things about Annie and her nail salon! Her designs are truly incredible, and her attention to detail is unparalleled. On top of that, the quality of conversation makes every visit enjoyable. My girlfriend comes here regularly for her nails and toes, and she always comes home with unique designs, stunning colors, and nails that last over a month.

I finally had the pleasure of bringing my soccer-worn, ugly toes in for some much-needed care, and Annie worked her magic—cleaning them up and making them look presentable again. The service is top-notch, the location is wonderful, and we highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for high-quality nail care.“

“I’ve gone to Karmella since I’ve moved to Santa Barbara and she’s absolutely amazing. The easiest wax I’ve had and she goes so quick too! I definitely recommend going to her. 100000/10!!!“

“Hands down the best spray tan in Santa Barbara! Amazing experience in a super cute environment, the tan was super even and beautiful and natural looking, and it lasted longer than any other tan I've ever gotten! The compliments were endless, everyone thought I had just come home from Hawaii!!“

“I have received facials from Denise since 2015, before she opened her private business and provided her amazing services in a salon. I followed her business in 2017 when she opened her studio, as she is by far the best esthetician I have been to. This week, I am turning 23 and extremely happy with my skin. I used to struggle with cystic acne during my teenage and young adulthood years. Denise taught me how to prevent acne scars, calm my face, and protect myself from severe breakouts. Now, after using Accutane (I chose this treatment as cystic acne began to prevent good sleep), I only get hormonal breakouts a maximum of once a month, and I have suffered VERY minimal scarring! She is extremely well-educated in skincare and the science behind the skin microbiome and what it needs to glow! I 100% recommend Denise!!“

“I MISS Yvette doing my hair and our chats! Free therapy and tons of laughs with the absolute BEST hair coloring and cuts in the county! When I lived in south Florida I’d visit home, SB, and purposely get an appointment that was when she was in a place in La Cumbre plaza Omgosh my whole family’s been going to her for prob 25 years! Hoping to visit this summer and without a doubt will be seeing her! Oh and her brother I think his names Carlos, he’s incredibly talented also! They’re the best duo and always so fun!!“

“I am delighted with the services provided at Santa Barbara Spa. Shelby a talented aesthetician and business owner! She is friendly and affirming. The staff are welcoming and the spa itself has a relaxing vibe. I have found the services to be excellent and affordable. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Spa!“

“Amazing experience! I got a wax and tan, and being pregnant it was kindof intense (lol) but Jamie made me feel so comfortable and really took time to get all the details perfect.“

“Alex is very knowledgeable on what she does, and she does everything with passion. She makes my waxing experience very comforting! I love her work!!!!!“

“David is so sweet and he killed it! I love my hair. It looks so good, and i'll definitely be coming back. He styled it so well.“

“Love this place, she does an incredible job and tries to make it as painless as possible?“

“Champagne Nail Bar did a professional and creative approach on my young daughter's nails. Thanks!“

“Went to go get my hair cut and highlights two days ago! First time going and booking with the lovely Jordan. She did an amazing job! My hair cut is amazing and I am in love with it. Jordan is the first person that cut my bangs right here in SB and she made it look beautiful ? I'm so happy! Will continue to go here for my hair cuts and color! Thank you Jordan!“

“You can never go wrong with Montse Aesthetics, Montse has done my lash extensions several times & man she always does an amazing job!! can’t forget Viri she does awesome work as well! I recommend them all the time !! They are so welcoming & their location is beautiful & easy to find parking ☺️ !! I’ll be back in a few weeks for my fill!! Thank you ladies so much! Keep up the good work.“

“I always get my hair cut by Martha Lugo - she's really great! I'm a guy with mid-length, very curly hair and I find that there's a lot of variability in how good people are at cutting curly hair so that it still looks good when it's dry, or when it's windy, etc. A friend with curly hair (who's since moved out of town) recommended Martha to me as someone who's good at cutting curly hair, and she's always done a great job for me! I've been coming here for years now and had my most recent haircut a couple weeks ago.

Martha is also very friendly, remembers details from things we'd talked about months earlier on the last visit, and always works with me to figure out how long I want it to be and how I want it styled. I'd definitely recommend her!“

“Visiting the area and I read reviews in hopes of finding a good nail salon. Minhly's was great. I made an appointment
for the mid afternoon which I would recommend, so there would be no wait. Minh was friendly, considerate and an experienced professional and provided nails that were just the way I like it. Great experience at this longstanding, fanily run place and I appreciated the fair price for the quality of work. I will return when I get the chance to visit Goleta again.“

“The lash extension fill were really well done, high quality, and looked great!

I liked the chill, comfy vibe of the place. It is right next to a cafe so I could pop over and get a bevy before carrying on with my day! Super convenient and relaxed!“

“Best value haircut I’ve probably ever gotten. I started with Supercuts affordable, but horrible, and then for the last year or so I went to a nice salon downtown and got pretty good cuts but was paying over $70. Bri is a master at non-barber style men’s haircuts. The attention to detail and end result were incredible. Because it’s half the price of what I used to pay, I can now start getting more frequent haircuts and staying looking sharp in my professional life, huge!“

“Pretty. I had chosen a color in the beginning. But they ended up not keeping track of my color. So mid-appointment I had to choose it again which was stressful and I couldn’t see all the options from the pedicure chair. I’m still pleased with the outcome though and good service. Hold on to the nail color you choose until they grab the bottle!!“

“Cheri was amazing, took great care of my hair. She's very knowledgeable on hair and maintenance and the experience was quite lovely. She colored my well beautifuly and her sense of style is superb; highly recommend.“

“Keota is a magician. She does wonders to your hair you wouldn’t even believe it was you’re real hair. I was beyond surprised after she showed me the final result. It’s as if you were to go to a salon in beverly hills but 10x better and a whole lot more affordable. She has stories for every occasion and will never keep you bored. If you are looking for any hair service she has perfected it. Keota is so kind so funny and insanely talented. I will never go to another place when it comes to my hair.Service: Balayage“

“Visiting from out of town and found a great place to get a gel manicure! Hanna did a great job! ?“

“The experience I had with Geneva was unlike any personal service I have ever received in the best possible way. It was facial combined with some cranial sacral work and a neck and shoulder massage. It was one of the most relaxing and restorative experiences that I have ever had. Up until yesterday I thought I didn't enjoy facials. My skin looks incredible today AND the facial felt delicious. Who knew that those two things could go together? I have had a lot of different kinds of energy work but the cranial sacral work that she did was unlike anything I've ever experienced. It was deep and transformative. I have very sensitive skin and everything she used was healing and soothing to my skin. She is able to tune into her clients in a very personal and specific way that allows her to give you exactly what you need. She charges a fraction of what I've paid for facials that didn't even come close to being as good as this.“

“I love the service and quality! It is such a peaceful experience. Having a nice cup of Vietnamese coffee while getting my nails done is exactly what I need to improve my mood each time! Everyone is very friendly and the owner is always welcoming and accommodating if I ever come in without an appointment.“

“Julianne is a genius with hair color ! She not only does amazing work she also does what’s best for your hair recommending the best products to use within your budget! Love her !“

“This guy is super legit just like any person he And his wife has their days and what I mean by that is like everyone good mood bad mood moderate mood but whatever the mood his nails are always consistent and I would recommend this nail salon above any of the bougie nail salons in Goleta and Santa Barbara County try them out for size you won’t be disappointed“
