Best Waxing In Santa Barbara

“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!!!“

“Michelle is kind, professional, and really good at what she does. Sugaring isn’t painless, let’s be honest. This is hair removal, not a spa nap. But she works quickly, makes it as comfortable as possible, and walks you through the process so you’re not just gripping the table in silence.

I have sensitive skin and this is one of the few places that doesn’t leave me irritated for days. Everything she uses is all natural, and my skin handles it well. She also offers spray tans if that’s your thing.

The bathrooms are actually clean. Not “we wiped the counter real quick.” Clean. Complimentary tampons and wipes are stocked, which tells me she’s thinking about her clients beyond the appointment.

There’s free Jolly Ranchers and gum in the waiting area. A little sugar before the sugar. Booking online is easy. There’s plenty of parking in the back. I’ve been coming for years and I still drive from Ventura. That’s not casual loyalty; it’s because she’s that good.“

“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!“

“Marlin is absolutely amazing! She is so attentive and good at what she does! I’ve never felt better after a wax and for sure will be coming back and will be a long term customer :))“

“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 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. ✨“

“tracy and tammi did so good! treated me very well and tracy is very good with the detail, really takes her time and does her best!“

“Superb service with heated message table and tranquil music. I’ve been going to Sharon for years for a more natural looking hybrid lash fill and it always looks fabulous!“

“Vanessa spent a lot of time talking about the color and cut I wanted. Which was nice, instead of just jumping into whatever. She ended up doing highlights and balayage in my hair. I let her do whatever she asked since by that time I knew she knew what she was doing. I really like the color and cut. I am pleasantly pleased. Her prices are fair, which is very much appreciated.
I will definitely be going back to her. She’s my definite go to.
She’s also very down to earth.
Thank you Vanessa ❤️“

“Jen is an artist!! This was my first time ever doing my brows (I was nervous) and she was super nice with me and give me confidence about it. She’s puntual, lovely and super professional.. also the space is super cozy. 100% recommended!!!“

“Wax Therapy is truly the best in Santa Barbara. Adrianna is incredibly skilled, fast, and detail‑oriented while still making you feel completely comfortable. The studio is spotless, welcoming, and judgment‑free. — I won’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend!“

“Way better than I expected! Ill admit I was a bit scared at first of getting waxed, but Lica was very reasuruing and made me feel comfortable. After the first strip it got much easier, and for the results its so worth it. She even gave great advice on aftercare. Highly reccomended.“

“I’ve been getting Brazilian waxes for years and this was the best yet! It was nearly painless. The owner is so personable and her studio is so clean. Couldn’t have been happier with my experience!“

“I recently received a men's haircut from the owner, who's been in this space for over 20 years. She was friendly, fast, and a true pro. I didn't want a super-short barbershop cut, so I decided to try this salon. She handled things with just a pair of scissors but she quickly got the job done. I'll be back!“

“Julie not only gives great facials but she noticed a spot on my face and advised me to go to the dermatologist to get it checked out. I did and sure enough I was scheduled for mohs surgery immediately! Thank you Julie for keeping my skin healthy.“

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

“Gentleman was very nice. A clean and pretty atmosphere. $65 for gel and $10 for French.“

“Just had my first haircut at The Standard. The owner and stylist Liz, was very hospitable, professional and friendly. Best haircut I’ve ever had, and her attention to detail was outstanding. The atmosphere of the shop is comfortable and well appointed. Very relaxing.Services: Haircut“

“I had a great experience at SB Nails. Bobby did an amazing job on my nails and suggested a beautiful color I loved. The pedicure was relaxing, and they even offer complimentary mimosas and orange juice, which was a nice touch.“

“I am a repeat customer of Dahlia's. They are often busy, so you may want to call and find out the availability and wait time. They do accept walk-in's, unlike most places.“

“I’ve been to see Cody severe times for Botox and waxing. She is amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and heard.“

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

“Calming and intimate nail salon. Paula and Jessica and others consistently take care with my old nails to make them look lovely. I’d highly recommend the dip powder. They are so well trained with a wide assortment of colors and styles.“

“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 !“
