I can't recommend Kirsten enough. I'm very particular about my lashes and she somehow gets them…read moreexactly right every time! Full, but never that "brooms for eyelashes" look I worry about. Beyond the lashes, though, she's honestly become one of my favorite parts of self-care. Sitting in her chair feels like getting pampered and having a mini therapy session haha she's such a good listener and makes the whole experience feel grounding and calm. On days I just want to listen to a podcast and nod off, she's totally in for that too. If you're picky like me and want someone who truly pays attention to what you're asking for (and actually delivers!), she's your girl!

I was so lucky to have Kirsten as my esthetician for my first lash lift. I haven't worn mascara…read moresince my appointment (3 weeks ago) and my lashes are just as curled as when I walked out of the spa. The whole process was very relaxing, the spa has comfortable beds, lighting, and music. I WISH I was local to Santa Barbara and could go to Kirsten again because I am now obsessed with my lashes and will be getting them done again. I also got a brow wax during my appointment and was so impressed with Kirstens attention to detail. I haven't had my brows professionally done in years and her shaping has made my brow maintenance so much easier. I really appreciated her approach to shaping and could tell she understood how to work with my specific (very thick) brow type. I will definitely be back at Lucent the next time I'm in SB!

I honestly can't believe what a difference a quality hair session can make. I was really hesitant…read moreto get my hair done since it's been so neglected and I've had some less than stellar experiences in the past. The salon was clean, bright, and easy to find. Plus parking was a breeze, something that can be rare in Santa Barbara! I was seen almost right away and so happy that I let Jaida do what she felt was best. I felt like I had her undivided attention which is such a nice feeling vs having someone do your hair who is balancing 10 other things and I felt and she was so incredibly sweet and helpful. My hair was completely transformed and I felt like I walked out of there like a new woman. I highly recommend this salon and even more so Jaida and Kelsey if you want the best blonde specialists. Price was reasonable and if I wasn't moving in the next few weeks I would definitely be a regular.

Amy Rae and Kelly are skin goddesses…read more There is no one on this planet who I could recommend for skincare more highly than these ladies. I've been seeing Amy Rae for nearly 5 years (since moving to LA) and recently had a few appointments with Kelly. Both of them are SO knowledgable, kind, and...gentle. Skin can be a very delicate topic (I know it was for me) and they handle it with CARE. But also, they get the job DONE! I love that the products they use are natural and they've never once tried to "sell me" on anything (although, that hasn't stopped my from buying nearly everything from Shea Terra ...teehee). Finding humans who are honest from the start and truly care about helping you find a solution to whatever it is that you're coming to them for...can be hard to find in such a big city.

Amy Rae was able to pinpoint my active acne zones and tell me what was causing my breakouts. I came in for a simple rapid detox facial and left feeling radiant and relaxed. I learned so many things about my skin that no other aesthetician ever took time to talk about. I highly recommend Amy Rae Aesthetics, and can't wait to come back! :)
