Best Skin Care In Santa Cruz

“My former hairstylist had left town, and I went to go see another stylist to touch up my layers. That stylist unfortunately did not do a good job. I had chunks of hair rather than layers blended into one another, so much weight taken off some pieces that the hair was sticking up, and uneven layers on each sides. Oddly, some layers were not even taken all the way around my head—they just kind of stopped. It was truly the worst haircut I had ever gotten and also the most expensive. (Side note: do not go see William at Queen hair salon.)

After this haircut catastrophe, I looked for a salon that would be able to fix it. I wanted an inclusive and kind environment and a stylist skilled with wavy hair. I called the Nook and got referred to Myra, who fit me in the same day.

Myra worked miracles and was extremely kind and positive. She asked for feedback at many points in the process and made small tweaks that made the cut really work for me. The other stylist did some damage to my hair that will take a while to grow out, but Myra disguised most of it and gave me a beautiful and unique cut.

This was one of the best haircut experiences I’ve ever had. I look forward to coming back and working with Myra again!“

“Kelley did great with my lashes both times, I’ll definitely be returning. She is professional and friendly and has a very relaxing setup. If you’re lucky you might get to snuggle her very cute dog, Rosie.“

“Very special place. The owner is an absolute wonderful and very skilled aesthetician. The space alone is worth visiting!
She goes above and beyond. Wonderful services and left feeling 1000 percent!“

“Wendy has been wonderful for me- a first time Brazilian wax and I just got my maintenance done and it was a great return visit. The office is classy and clean and she provides other services like facials and overall it has been such a great experience!“

“Pleasant from the time you walk in until you leave. Professional. Office clean & organized.“

“Thank you for the relaxing, deep-cleansing facial, Andrea! The products felt great, skin care advice was helpful, and the ambiance was restorative.“

“Had an amazing facial with Elisa! I can't wait to go back. Her spa is comfortable and darling. Easy to get to as well. Elisa was very knowledgeable and educated. She know what my skin needed and was charming to work with.“

“Denise did an amazing job with my haircut. I absolutely love it and could not be happier with the results. She is incredibly talented, professional, and pays great attention to detail. On top of that, she is such a sweet and kind person, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking for a great stylist. Thank you, Denise, for the wonderful haircut and experience!“

“Butterfly Esthetics is one of Santa Cruz's little gems! Peggy deeply cares about her work and clients, and genuinely wants to help people. She focuses on root causes of skin health and is passionate about continuing education to provide the highest quality products and services. Her attention to detail and presence is rare, making the whole experience feel genuine and luxurious. Receiving a session feels like being wrapped in a warm, loving, cocoon, calming the nervous system and I always walk out of there in a relaxed bliss state! Also the salon is so beautiful and tasteful, truly a treat! I've been under her care for over 15 years, highly recommend her services, and often get complimented on my skin, thanks to her ;)“

“I got the couple's massage with hot tub session. Massage was more of therputic rather than deep tissue or any other. The tempo is slow and claming, the water sounds from the fountain outdoor makes the entire environment very relaxing. Hot tub area is private and outdoor. Entire place is private and has sauna and shower area as well. After massage, you're directed to the hot tub area and get to enjoy the time in the hot tub. Teas and robs and towels are included.“

“I can’t recommend Stacey & Bill enough. Stacey is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, warm, & funny! I love coming to see her for my monthly facials. I always have a relaxing and enjoyable time - and leave with glowing, glass skin. Another reason I love Bodylab is Dr. Z , who performs the injectables. He is extremely honest and conservative with his approach - which I sincerely appreciate. These two rock!“

“Stopped in to Yoso Wellness on my birthday trip. Both my husband and I had a Swedish massage and our treatments were exceptional! Shout out to Lexi and Chrissy, thank you for starting off our trip on the right foot.“

“Mel is an incredible esthetician! I’ve trusted her with everything from dermaplane facials and Brazilian waxes to skincare products, and she consistently delivers amazing results. I truly wouldn’t go to anyone else.

She’s easy to schedule with, makes every appointment comfortable and enjoyable, and always goes above and beyond to ensure you’re well taken care of. Her attention to detail is unmatched - she’s a perfectionist in the best way and always makes sure everything looks flawless before you leave.

I can’t recommend Mel and The Skin Bar highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, she’s the one. 10/10 recommend!“

“Kristela is the best for brows!!! I originally had old micro blading from 2015 done in Koreatown LA that faded really bad. Kristela was able to work over and through it and did a combo microblade ombré shading. I am so happy with the results!!! She is worth every penny, because nothing is more important than your face. And brows are what frames your face. If you're in need of a glow up, just book an appointment with her, you won't regret it, she is a brow genius“

“We had a little mix up over billing and they were totally understanding, professional, and did everything possible to make it right. Also, a lovely service using super high quality products! Now I know why everyone goes to Susan Bell!“

“Erika is so sweet and beautiful ❣️ she is really skilled and provides lasting results“

“Best facial ever! Highly recommend!
Do yourself a favor and get a facial with Shona!“

“If you’re looking for an esthetician, I highly recommend Mariah for your waxing and skin care needs! I have been going to her regularly for the last 6 months for my brows and Brazilian waxing. She is super professional and takes a lot of pride in her work. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She is very accommodating. It is also clear that she cares about her clients. She would remember things I shared with her months ago and ask me about how things were going in those areas of my life. I was impressed with how much effort Mariah puts into creating a sense of comfort and personal connection, in addition to the quality of her work. Truly a hidden gem at this salon. I am moving away so I will miss my monthly waxing sessions with Mariah.“

“I asked them I wanted natural and they gave me the exact lashes I wanted!! Im a student in this area so I am definitely going to be coming here until I graduate!“

“I LOOOVED my experience with Coco. She is so personable and made the entire process very comfortable and casual. The studio is cozy, super private, and the vibe is just right. Coco has a wealth of knowledge about skin types, hair growth, and waxing styles that made me feel like I was in good hands, especially as someone who suffers with psoriasis. She was quick, professional, and great company too :) if I could I’d give 1000 stars!! Thanks Coco, you rock <3“

“I am seeing Jessica for my dermasweeps and I love how my skin is getting that golden glow. Many friends have told me that my skin is looking clearer than ever. Moreover, the esthetician JESSICA is extremely beautiful inside out. I appreciate the level of care and knowledge she extends while treating my face. Dermasweeps here are not harsh at all, I can vouch for this place! My skin felt so much smoother and cleaner each time. Overall, I will keep going to this clinic for years to come!“

“Gayle at Body Resultlz is great. I received fantastic and kind loving care for my face and the products she uses are great quality and gentle products that my ultra sensitive skin loved! As an added bonus they smell heavenly. Gayle is quite knowledgeable and has tons of years in the skincare biz. Go treat yourself to a facial - your skin will look gorgeous.“

“Owner and esthetician, Marie, is delightful and enormously experienced in all areas of skin care, including fabulous facials and permanent makeup. I can't recommend this lovely salon and it's owner highly enough! I've been seeing her for many years!“

“I've had a lot of facials, but my skin has never looked or felt better than it did after my treatment with Janet! She is thoughtful, gentle, thorough, and creative in her approach to skincare. During the facial she added a relaxing massage and even provided some dermatological education when asked. I'm so pleased and will definitely be back! ♡“

“Sarah is amazing at what she does! I have gone to several places for eyelash extensions and I’m so lucky I was referred to Sarah because her work is perfect! She is very detailed an takes her time to make sure your completely satisfied. I love my lashes! She is also consistent and doesn’t rush through our appointments which I appreciate. I highly recommend Sarah for lashes!! Also she has helped me with some skin issues I’ve had an I couldn’t be happier with the results. So….Thank you!! Your amazing an so talented Sarah!!“
