She traveled to my hotel in Santa Barbara after a great preview session at her Ventura studio. I don't wear much makeup normally, and she nailed the "natural" look while still making me feel like a bride. My hair and makeup were perfect from start to finish. Most importantly, her calm and friendly personality made the morning of my wedding so relaxing. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel and her team are not only extremely talented but also so friendly and approachable. They listened to what each of us wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and confident with the final look. They created such a calm and fun environment on both days and the timing was seamless and well organized, which made the getting ready process stress free. I felt so beautiful, and my mom and bridesmaids were glowing all night! More importantly, we felt confident and radiant, which made the entire experience that much more special.

*****I also posted this review on the Cashmir Beauty Salon Page - Kara's place of work, but since…read morethis is mostly about how AWESOME Kara is, I wanted to post it here too. I have been getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted by hairstylist Kara Richard for over a year and a half now. This is the longest I have ever stayed with the same hairstylist in my adult life (let's just say I'm overprotective when it comes to my hair), which is certainly a testament to Kara's talent and abilities! Besides her incredible styling skills, (she's been dying my hair red since the first time she styled it, and everyone refuses to believe it's not natural - even friends who knew me beforehand need reminders), she seems to know exactly if you're in a talkative mood when you come in or if you'd prefer to simply zone out while your hair gets cut. Since I am a girl who loves to chat, but sometimes has off days (usually due to lack of morning coffee), I know that going to the salon will always be a great experience, no matter what. Kara is a great hairstylist, witty, and has great stories to tell! She constantly keeps up on the latest trends, but will always listen to what you want first and foremost (and deliver!). Cashmir is a lovely salon that hits the sweet spot between upscale modern and relaxed comfort. It is also probably the salon with the best view in Santa Barbara. Make an appointment with Kara and see for yourself! :)

I've been with Kara for tanning and hair design since she was at Ibiza and I only have positive…read morethings to say! She cares about doing a great job on both my spray tans and haircuts and it shows. I went in to visit her for the first time at the new place, Cashmir, and it is soooooo cute, super clean and very elegant--it's like a full spa experience! Kara switched from Fantasy Tan to a new company that I happened to try 3 weeks before in Orange County and LOVED. It's organic, paraben-free, vegan, aloe-based and the color is phenomenal. It lasts 7-10 days and is a natural glow. I am so so so so so excited Kara has brought it to SB :) and so happy to be tan again!

I have been shopping here for many years ... since they opened in Montecito. Usually the service is…read moregood and associates are attentive, but once in a while I feel service is under par. Today I went in and was being assisted and in the middle of a lipstick consultation, when the associate left me saying she had to assist another customer who had just walked in. I found this very rude, perhaps ageism as I am older than the other customer. I got tired of waiting and said I would come back... perhaps....

I went into CosBar to inquire about makeup application services for my mom and mother in law. I'm…read morehaving my wedding in Santa Barbara next fall, and the makeup artist that I selected for my friends and I isn't the right style for the moms. When I approached the sales associate and kindly asked whether those services are available, she faked choked and laughed in my face before she blurted out the price, as if it was going to be out of budget. It was awful. It was as if we were in the movie pretty woman. I've never encountered such appalling behavior before. For what it's worth, the prices were actually way more reasonable than any makeup artist I had looked into, but I would never subject my family to such rude behavior.

This cute little hair salon is tucked away in a popular building in downtown. Due to the…read morepopularity, there can be difficulty finding parking. However, there is a lot near by with 75 minutes free parking then you are charged after. While waiting for my stylist, i noticed a bridal party getting ready in a private room. Heather did my updo and she was so sweet! I told her what my dress looked like and the theme of my event. I gave her freedom to choose what to do and she showed me a picture of an updo. It was perfect! She did a wonderful job and was so pleasant to be with. I would highly recommend her!

She knew exactly how to give me a fresh look with style while clearly understanding all the highlight colors I wanted blended. She was also fun and personable while not trying to talk me into more products or further expenses. At the end I felt like I'd made a new friend, and wish'd I was staying longer. My whole experience was better than I could have asked for! I wish I could put her in my pocket and take her with me. I will definitely go back to her the next time I'm in the area!! Thank you Beth!
