Best Spa Salons In Santa Barbara

“Oksana made my first facial ever so relaxing. She took her time with my facial! Highly recommend“

“Jessica is absolutely amazing ! I’ve been seeing her at Elemental Skin Studio for facials, and she has completely transformed the way I take care of my skin. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to skincare and acne, but also so kind and supportive throughout the process. She always takes the time to explain everything she’s doing and always gives helpful tips tailored to my skin’s needs. Her studio is peaceful, clean, and welcoming! I couldn’t recommend more !“

“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.“

“Gabbie is truly the best in the business. And not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, professional, & skilled with lashes, but she is just an all around gem of a person. I will never even consider trusting anybody else with my lashes!!“

“My Sunday afternoon ritual. I love how you can walk right in and they take you back to a room without any wait. You get to enjoy a nice quiet space with a very affordable full body massage with hot rocks and oil. The ladies are the best! Their attention to detail is out of this world. Thank you for taking care of us.“

“I received a gift card for Treat & made an appointment for a facial. Jamie was the technician & she was fabulous. Everything used smelled great, and she did some lymphatic drainage that felt wonderful. The spa itself is beautiful and rooms are private and quiet for your service. Absolutely no complaints about service, atmosphere, or value. However, the prices were on a card that came with the gift card; on their website; and under glass at the front desk but I was charged more than advertised. When I asked why, I was told the prices had increased. I was surprised and paid the new price and recalculated the tip based on the new price. I believe if your prices change, your website, anything with prices printed on it, and anything posted on the premises should all be updated immediately when the new prices go into effect. Also, when checking in, it should be mentioned that the prices have increased. I did not think the person at the front desk was professional about the price change at all and looking back I should have politely insisted on paying the advertised price.“

“Truly the most relaxing and uplifting experience. Received a wonderful facial and massage and had such a pleasant visit. The spa itself is serene and warm. Would definitely recommend!“

“I have thick eyebrows and have gone to several places over the years. I booked an appointment with Becky and now she is the ONLY person I will let touch my eyebrows! She is amazing, skilled and extremely pleasant to be around. I highly recommend her!!!!“

“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!“

“I have been a client of Audrey and the ZenSpa for many years, but have never had a facial. I finally decided to treat myself to one, and am so happy that I did!!
From the moment you enter the ZenSpa, the subtle aromas soothe and relax...and smell so good!
Audrey tailored the facial to suit my specific needs and it was just what my skin needed. Audrey is incredibly knowledgeable and her touch is so very gentle. In fact, when I left, I could barely function, I was that relaxed!
I can't wait for my next appointment.
Audrey's level of care, is second to none. I highly recommend that you book a treatment at ZenSpa...you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
Go ahead ....and love yourself ?“

“I used to use clusters but got recommended here so i decided to give it a try, safe to say one of the best decisions i've made! my lashes last so long and i notice no damage on my actual lashes. very happy returning customer“

“Great experience every time I go into Spa Cia! Alicia is so kind and thoughtful, she’s amazing at what she does. Highly recommend booking any service at Spa Cia.“

“Roxanne is so lovely! She made my waxing experience very comfortable and easy. Peaceful and relaxing space!“

“The spa itself is beautiful and welcoming. Celeste is very knowledgeable and provided me with excellent options for my first visit. The facial was wonderful, so soothing and relaxing. The plush recliner was something new for me. So much more comfortable than a massage table. My skin was glowing afterwards! I would highly recommend Estetica mia. I already booked my next appointment!“

“Absolutely wonderful! I got a deep tissue massage and all my pain went away! So thankful! 2 hour massage priced perfectly.“

“Had a great experience today at Float Luxury Spa. Daniel was amazing and made me feel comfortable. I’ve only had 1 massage before, over 20years ago and it was a horrible experience! I was very nervous and Daniel had me feeling relaxed in no time. He listened to my concerns and provided exactly what I was looking for. I definitely recommend him! Daniel succeeded in getting me over my massage phobia! lol

The staff was wonderful and accommodating to my needs. I was very happy with my experience.“

“Been shopping here my whole life! Funnest beauty supply for consumers. Excellent gifts for self care. High quality shampoos etc crystal nail files, spa treatment.“

“Raquel is the best aesthetician I’ve ever had. She’s warm and friendly and still highly professional. I look forward to each visit!“

“Marissa is absolutely amazing! She took such good care of me and took the time to understand my needs, preferences, and goals with my skin. She is a joy to talk to, she made me feel so comfortable, and my skin is absolutely glowing! Her space is also incredibly clean and cozy. I highly recommend Marissa to anyone looking for a facial in the Santa Barbara area.“

“Yolanda is amazing and I have been going to here for the past 4 years for my waxing treatments and massages. She is professional and knows what she is doing, but also is very personal and likes to have fun! I would highlight recommend coming to Spa Escape for any treatment.“

“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!!“

“My mom and I were looking for a facial in Santa Barbara and were so happy we found this place. We were both able to get in last minute yesterday, which felt like such a treat, and we each had Alyssa as our facialist.

She was an absolute doll !! so sweet, accommodating, and made the entire experience incredibly relaxing from start to finish. She took the time to really understand our skin, listened carefully to our concerns and needs, and was very thoughtful and prescriptive in her approach. On top of that, she was just genuinely lovely to talk to, which made the experience even better. We both left feeling refreshed, taken care of, and glowing.

Highly recommend this spot — and definitely book with Alyssa! We’ll absolutely be back and plan to make this part of our regular routine. ✨“

“I’ve been to Evolutions Spa twice now, once for a med spa service and more recently for a day spa massage, and both experiences have been consistently exceptional.

My first visit was for a med spa treatment, and everything was handled with a lot of care and professionalism. Nothing felt rushed, everything was clearly explained, and as a first time client they took the time to walk me through all the options and pricing upfront so there were no surprises. It felt thoughtful, organized, and very comfortable from the start.

Today I came back for a day spa massage, and it was just as impressive, if not better.

For the day spa experience, they encourage you to arrive early and stay after your appointment to use the amenities, which makes it feel like a full reset rather than just a service. The sauna, showers, and locker room are all beautifully maintained and feel very clean and elevated, with secure code lockers, multiple robe and sandal sizes, and attention to every detail. The little details really stand out too, like hair ties, combs, razors, envelopes for jewelry, makeup remover, body lotion, and other thoughtful essentials available in the locker area. My favorite part was the sauna, it made such a difference in how relaxed and grounded I felt going into my treatment.

The tea lounge is another highlight. It’s softly lit with a waterfall feature, cucumber water, small snacks, and a curated tea selection, creating a calm, quiet space that naturally slows everything down before your service.

The front desk staff were also consistently kind and welcoming. Melisa was so kind and welcoming and really made me feel at home. She gave me a full tour during my first visit, never rushed anything, and made everything easy and comfortable while answering all my questions.

For today’s massage, I saw Vickie, and she was sweet too, truly an angel. I didn’t even have to explain anything, she just knew exactly where I was holding tension and worked on those areas perfectly. I work out regularly and also sit at a desk for long hours, so I tend to get pretty tight, but it honestly felt like she could read my mind.

What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere during the massage. There was a gentle ceiling fan running and at first I thought it was a sound machine because the sound was so soft and steady. It genuinely sounded like rain in the background, and paired with the music it created such a calming, immersive feeling.

After the massage they brought me a glass of cucumber water, which was such a nice finishing touch. I finished with another sauna session and a shower, and I left feeling incredibly refreshed. Sometimes leaving right after a massage you can feel a little dazed or groggy, but this felt like a reset on top of a reset. I walked out feeling completely clear, clean, and renewed.

I genuinely left feeling rejuvenated, like a completely different version of myself.

Overall, Evolutions Spa has been exceptional across both visits. It’s thoughtful, well run, and genuinely restorative. I won’t be going anywhere else.“

“I’ve been going to Santa Barbara Spa since it opened and love all of the treatments I’ve gotten. It’s a relaxing and welcoming place. I also love all of the products Shelby sells at her spa. I highly recommend!“

“I found Caren about a year and a half ago after getting fed up with still having adult acne in my mid-twenties. I had literally picked up my prescription for accutane, which I swore was going to be my absolute last resort after struggling with cystic acne for 10+ years, but decided to try her as my final attempt to clear my skin before trying accutane. After about 4 months of working with her and religiously sticking to the routine she put together, my skin cleared up. This is going to sound like a fake ad, but I have had ZERO cystic break outs once that 4 months passed and we got my skin under control. Something that I thought was impossible without internal medication given my acne was hormonal. I can genuinely say that Caren changed my life, and I feel so grateful for her help in getting my confidence back! If you have skin issues, even ones that seem impossible, Caren will help you figure it out.“
