Great service. Very nice people. Very hospitable. My husband and I got the Swedish massage.

It has been four years since my last review. I thought I should update, but just to say I still go to Cielo and bounce between here and London. I always look forward to the relaxing time I have here. The waxing and facials are excellent without exception. Sometimes they run specials So I often have something I have never had before! The salon is comfortable and I am always made to feel very welcome. There is excellent parking outside, so it couldn't be easier and more relaxed. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with a full day spa treatment for him and I and it was so nice. We both got the mud treatment (which smelled amazing by the way) and then a full body massage. Both our massage therapists (mine was Roxanne) had every detail planned out. They even warmed the towels for our shower we took in between the mud treatment and massage. I didn't have to worry about anything since they had shampoo and conditioner and robes and slippers. I was seriously pampered. My boyfriend really enjoyed it too and it was nice for both of us just to relax and not have to worry and just enjoy being together. I will definitely go again and I encourage couples to do the same. For me, it's a rare occasion when I get time to enjoy with my boyfriend and what better way than getting spoiled and treated so well. Thank you Roxanne! read more

Great customer service every time I call to book or purchase a gift certificate.

I've been seeing Roxanne for all of my waxing needs for years! She's amazingly professional and a perfectionist, and helps you feel relaxed. She uses the hard wax for sensitive areas, which is much less painful. I can't recommend her highly enough! The spa itself is very cozy, quiet, and welcoming. You can't go wrong with Cielo Spa! read more

I've gotten a few signature facials now and all I have to say is best facials I've ever had. I feel so relaxed and just radiant afterward. Roxanne is the best! read more

Went in for a Brazillian, she was quick, thorough, virtually painless. Roxanne was super nice. She used a hard wax, so I'm guessing that kept the pain down. Her place is small but not in a bad way, feels intimate.I think she's only opened by appointment only. Roxanne will be my waxer for the rest of my time in California! read more

Like everyone else said...painless (almost) and thorough. Love going to Roxanne. I make all my appointments over email, she's always on time, quick yet thorough and virtually painless. Very relaxing enviroment with comfy table, the smell of lavendar and "oceany" sounds in the background. I'm happy I found her. read more

Lisa is just wonderful! I've been going to her for braxilian wax for a few years now, and even now that I live in a different city, I will go to SB to Lisa because I haven't found anyone in my area that is as great as her. The room is clean, relaxing, and conforting. She works confidently, and she is really quick! The price is also very reasonable. I would recommend her to everybody :) read more

Affordable prices, comfortable atmosphere. Roxanne was quick and painless!

We went to Cielo for part of my friend's bachlorette weekend. Roxanne was so hospitable from right when we got there by offering us plates, cups, and extra seats. Some of the girls waited outside in the shaded tent area drinking and snacking while the other girls received their services. They had no problem with us bringing our own drinks and food. All the girls said their service was amazing! We all would highly recommend Cielo, it's truly heavenly! read more

Went for a mother daughter "couples" massage as a birthday present...we have had countless massages but none as good as these. The ladies were AMAZING, I could go on and on for days, but needless to say we will defintely be back, and I will be recommending them to anyone looking for a massage in the area! read more

Fabulous experience. Trish and Brenda were wonderful and attentive. My Swedish massage was very relaxing and thorough. My boyfriend received a deep tissue massage and claims that Trish accurately found the tender spots to focus on without prompting. Overall, well-priced, online services trustworthy and highly recommend read more

Awesome! Lisa is great :) The most affordable wax in Santa Barbara and the best!

My husband and I spent his birthday weekend in Santa Barbara and we knew we wanted to relax with massages. I found Cielo Spa through Yelp and was excited to make an appointment. I was able to book our reservations online and was notified through email and text with confirmations and details. As a planner, I was very grateful for the organization. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by three staff members that offered us water and escorted us to our couples deep tissue massage. We had Theresa and Mary Jo and they were both uh-mazing! They were very accommodating, strong (got all our knots out), but also very relaxing (we both dozed off at one point). They also used very fragrant essential oils that made our massages more therapeutic and relaxing. At the end, we did feel a little oily from the massages, but we just used the towels provided to wipe down before we got dressed. We loved our experience at Cielo Spa and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality massage in SB! read more

I just received a TaTa Harper facial from Roxanne, OMG! The products are amazing but the facial was even better. The spa is charming and quiet and the staff is top notch. I can't wait until my next trip to Santa Barbara and my chance to see Roxanne! read more

I love this spa! Customer service is wonderful, I always feel comfortable, best waxing I've had done. I highly recommend it!!

After hours of researching for the best, affordable waxing salon when I first moved to Santa Barbara 3 months ago, I found Cielo Spa to be one of the top salons in the area. I read the reviews and booked with Roxanne (the owner of the spa). She was sweet and very thorough, spending extra time going over any areas where a few hairs were left over. She also allowed me to inspect my legs and see if there were any other hairs I spotted. Roxanne wants every customer to get their money's worth and will not hesitate to spend the extra time needed to make sure you are completely satisfied with her services! I wasn't crazy about the price since I was spoiled with great waxes in Atlanta, GA for 1/2 the price, which is what lead me to stray from Cielo my second month in SB. I was referred to Jen at Salon Bamboo (Brows to Brazilian) for affordable, quick waxing. So I decided why not... Well now I know why not...I had the worst waxing experience EVER! Of all the waxing salons/boutiques I've been to around the world, this was by far the worst waxing job I have ever had. I had huge patches of hair all over my legs, what's worse the Brazilian was the most painful ever and I still had all of my broken hair left over in my bikini and brazilian area after this wax. I also left with a little less skin than I came in with. After this horrific waxing incident I immediately called up Roxanne and even though she was completely booked she said she would squeeze me in and help touch up what was left over. She ended up having to give me a full leg and brazilian wax because there was so much hair left over from the previous wax. Since I wasn't expecting a full wax a week after my previous wax, I hadn't taken any Advil beforehand and was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the wax did not hurt! Roxanne was very sympathetic to the fact that I had just had a horrible experience and was very gentle and thorough, as usual. So the moral of the story is, if the wax is cheap, it'll be a cheap wax in every sense of the word! With Roxanne I am paying a lot more than I'm used to, but it's definitely worth it!!! NO MORE CHEAP WAXES! read more

Lisa does the best quick and easy and relatively pain free Brazilian wax. You will not be disappointed. Jen read more

Got a gift certificate to go and I'm glad I did. Got a massage and facial. Both relaxing, professional. Love the heated massage bed! Pamela gave a great massage, Jennifer a great facial. Not rushed, gentle and relaxing. read more

I have been seeing Roxanne, the owner of Cielo, for bikini waxes for about 9 months and she is fantastic! She does a great job and is very quick - I am usually back at work 30-40 min after I left. Roxanne makes you feel welcome and comfortable and keeps up a good stream of conversation. Even on my second appointment she remembered who I was and what we had talked about the month before. One thing I love, is that Roxanne uses hard wax! Way less painful than the wax that requires fabric strips to take it off. If you have not tried hard wax, you have to! Why go through the extra pain if you don't have to? Her prices are very reasonable for a good bikini wax and she discounts them if you are a regular (I think I paid $35 for my first wax and now pay $25 per wax). You have to make an appointment, she does not take walk-ins, so call ahead. read more

I booked a 90 minute deep tissue massage, and specifically asked for somebody that is strong and can get deep in there and work out all my knots and tightness. I just had my massage and it was probably one of the worst deep tissue massages that I have had. Midway through I had request to switch it to a 60 min massage instead of 90, usually it's the opposite. The masseuse was a very lovely and kind lady, this is not against her personally, she was just not the right person to provide a deep tissue massage, she did not have he strength or experience. After 60 min I can still feel the knots and tightness in my back. It is frustrating that I spent $130 and still need to go find another masseuse to work out my back and neck issues. read more

Good massage, very poor ambiance. The setting is completely lacking and in poor condition. I could hear people talking outside and cars driving through the parking lot. For the price, I expected some amenities like a nice dressing room and a steam room. Very overpriced; this should be half of what they're charging. I would not come again, and I'm shocked it has gotten such good reviews on Yelp. read more

Went to Cielo Spa for my Brazilian waxes for about a year before I moved. It's a pretty average price for good quality wax, and Roxanne and Jennifer are awesome! They are both very thorough, play nice peaceful music, and are great at chit chatting and keeping you comfortable while they rip hair off your lady bits. I took excedrine 30 minutes to an hour before my appointments, and it hardly ever hurt. Really, it was amazing. The hard wax they use is the best. There were a few appointments when it didn't hurt at all. I have sensitive skin (I can't ever do a $20 crappy wax; it would destroy me), and while I would be a little red and tender for an hour or two afterwards, I never experienced any lasting irritation. Cielo is friendly, sanitary, comfortable, and so worth a try. read more

Recently got a swedish massage for an hour and a half and I loved it. It was great. Friendly staff, its clean, and it smells great as soon as you walk in. I will be back for a facial or couples massage! read more

AMAZING! I'm a newbie, and got a couples massage here and it was an incredible experience. Kathryn (hopefully spelt right) had no easy task trying to work the kinks and knots out of my back, but not only helped relive some much needed stress and pain, she helped with some posture issues that should alleviate some of my issues. I will 100% be coming back to her on a regular basis, as this is something I should've started doing long ago! The atmosphere/ambiance was perfect, and it was soooooooo relaxing. A++++ read more

Just had a really lovely 60-minute Swedish massage with Jennifer. I always have some troublesome areas in my shoulders that hold on to a lot of tension but she was able to work them out really well, while still being extremely conscientious of the fact that I definitely prefer lighter pressure everywhere else. I left feeling totally relaxed. Highly recommended!! read more

Jennifer was so amazing! What a wonderful facial. Very attentive, very sweet, great job.

Wife and I had the opportunity to get a couples massage. Was greeted warmly by the staff and had a very relaxing and enjoyable massage. Definitely one of the best massages in town and will definitely come back. read more

Hands down the best pregnancy massage, ever! I searched all over town and Roxanne was amazing! I highly recommend Cielo.

Such a lovely spa with amazing aestheticians! Thoroughly enjoyed my facial! Highly recommended!

I love this little boutique. Very small and intimate. Jennifer does my waxing and massages and she's great!

My husband and I have enjoyed a wonderful couple's massage here, and I have also had facials and waxing. The owner, Roxanne, is great! The spa is cozy, relaxing, and also has great products. Highly recommend! read more

Had a fabulous couples massage in this little hidden gem!! Best spa experience in Santa Barbara and best value & we've tried quite a few!! Owner is gracious, lovely room & great products. Will be back read more

Jennifer was nice enough to fit me in for a facial last minute, and it was the best facial I've ever had. I've been to loads of nice spas - Burke Williams, the four Seasons, bliss, Canyon ranch to name a few - and this took the cake. Other than the extractions, which are never fun, I was supremely relaxed - so relaxed that I fell asleep and left glowing. I want to say that it was the incredible care and time that she took with the facial, scalp, and shoulder massage. There was some confusion when paying bc she was not aware about the yelp check in deal, which was $10 off facials. So I ended up having to pay full price - but I did so happily bc I was really satisfied with the service. Just a pointer to others who go here to make sure they confirm the deal will be honored beforehand. read more

We came here because my boyfriend took me here for a couples massage for my birthday. We did the full body salt scrub, body wrap, and oil massage. Was kinda pricey but it felt really good in the end! read more

Lisa is AMAZING!!!! The best waxer in town! You will get there, undressed, waxed and dressed again in 15 minutes!!! She is so fast its unbelieveable. I have been to a few different places around SB until I found her, the rest just don't compare. Plus she is way cheaper than anyone else in town!! The pain isn't that bad considering how fast she gets the job done! Don't go anywhere else!!!!!! read more

My husband & I got a couples massage & the service was incredible; we truly enjoyed the massages. The ambiance is perfect & it's a cute, quaint place. I highly recommend this place!! read more

I am about 8 months pregnant, and have been going to Cielo ever since month 3/4. Roxanne is fantastic. She's very good about her appts via email, and sending confirmations. Also, the massages are wonderful. I go in with pain and she really concentrates on those areas, and I feel good for another month! My pregnancy aches and pains would've been so much worse had I not gone in. She also has this talent for seeming to know when you want to be chatty and when you just want to doze - or maybe it's just that her moods match mine! read more

Cielo day spa is a hidden gem! Gina is such a wonderful masseuse. Great energy and positive vibrations just radiate from her. Love this spa. read more
