She is so thorough she will not leave one pore clogged or a hidden pimple behind your ear or neck etc un popped. The way she massages product into your skin is magical, feels amazing, releases so much tension and is just better than any other facial I've gotten (and that's a lot and at really top spas). It actually ruins any other facial you might get on vacation or something comparing it to her lol. Even after having my makeup taken off and pimples squeezed I leave looking somehow better than when I arrived. I trust her completely when it comes to my skin and face she knows what's best and has my best interest. Morgan is truly a master of her trade there is nobody better!

This is the only place I'd go to for microdermabrassion when I used to live in Santa Barbara. It's…read morea doctor's office, the microdermabrassion performed by a Nurse practitioner, Melita. She's very gentle with extractions, that's one of the reason why I only go to her. I used to have problem with acne and have sensitive skin. I've tried everything and nothing works. Aesthetica Skin Care acne line, Dermystique really works for me because it's gentle and non oily, it's great for sensitive skin. As a satisfied customer for 4 years, I highly recommend this place and their products. For those who live in San Francisco - she does microdermabrassion in SF once a month. Recently , I moved to bay area and so happy to find out that I can still go to her for my skin care.

The style of the clothing at this store is based in India. There's a good selection of Hindu gods and Om Symbols on their T-shirts, as well as other religious iconography. This is a large store. It is really offers a lot of clothing and other items such as bags. The aisles are well organized and it is very open and airy. One of the things that I find interesting/amusing about the store is that they have a few signs that say no photos or videos. As a consumer, and a Yelp advocate, I find this rather interesting because of the fact that it's really photographs that bring customers into a store. If you've never been to a shop like this, you like to see what they have to offer. And, photos is one of the best ways to illustrate this. But, that's just me. Overall, this store is good addition to the Santa Barbara State Street array of shops.

The space is lovely and calming and Kristie and Cydney made me feel right at home. They are both extremely skilled and used a combination of massage and facial techniques that allowed me to fully relax. I'm incredibly picky about the products I put on my face since I break out in rashes with anything that has parabens, etc. DNA is organic, but also clinical--my skin looked brighter and more radiant after, but wasn't irritated at all. It also smells amazing--everything from the cleanser to the pumpkin enzyme mask has a lovely scent. Truly a wonderful experience that I hope to repeat very soon!

From the many years of struggling skincare, I feel like I have finally found my saving grace. I…read morehave been struggling with acne and irritable skin my entire life and nothing has worked and no skincare specialists have been helpful towards a solution. UNTIL I found Drift and the estheticians, Kristie and Cydney. For the first time I have found hope and experienced results from their products and their incredible facials. I have found my skin therapists!! Drift is located in a intimate space in a beautiful home design center, which immediately makes you feel unguarded and relaxed and at home. As you walk closer towards the space you begin smell the essential oils and start to feel yourself 'drift' into a cozy vibe. Their warm and friendly greetings made me feel very welcomed and I was extremely impressed by the visual concept of the room. It is clean and uncluttered, but feels very comfy and warm at the same time. They greeted me with a beverage and took time to talk to me about what was going on with my skin and what problems I am try to resolve. It felt very open and comfortable to talk to them, I actually got very emotional when opening up about my skin. They were very sensitive and made me feel safe about whats going on and provided a hopeful outcome. First impression - on point! I then got ready for my facial that was being conducted by Cydney. The bed was heated and was incredibly comfortable and the smells were very calming all around me. She explained how they were going to customize my facial according to my skincare needs and also introduced some of their electrotherapy equipment, which I have never experienced before. She started off by massaging my scalp and that helped me get into relax mode to really enjoy my facial. Her touch was the perfect amount of pressure and flow, and the way she applied the products was very graceful and not irritating. Her massaging techniques and application felt very professional and caring. I could feel the products working on my skin without burning, itching, or drying out my skin. She introduced warm towels after exfoliating and that felt amazing. While the masks worked its magic on my face, she massaged my hands and feet. She was very careful about the electrotherapy, which was used to help break down the acne by minimizing the size and redness. She made me feel very comfortable with the new equipment and walked me through it so I did it at my own comfort level. As she finished her treatment, she massaged the moisturizer on my face and gave me my last massage by working it into my neck and shoulders and scalp. Leaving me feeling rejuvenated and healed. Her overall flow from start to finish was fluid, consistent, and caring. She was very sensitive to the amount of pressure, amount of product, and the timing (never felt rushed). The product line that is used is DNA - which is a local brand produced in Ventura that is organic and focuses on CLINICALLY treating and actually fixing issues. They have incredible ingredients, one of them featuring stem cell agents that literally erases any kind of issue after one use. The thing I love most about their products is that they do not feel heavy and greasy on your skin, but you feel it powering deeply through beyond the surface of your skin. After one session, I saw actual results which was hard to believe. I took home some products and it was incredible how fast my skin was improving - especially since the rule of thumb is to wait 30 days to see your skin adjust to any product or to see any results. This took less than a week. Matching the DNA line with their equipment of electrotherapy, microdermabrasion, and some other quality equipment I can't wait to try - they work hand and hand and works miracles. Kristie and Cydney are very knowledgable about the product line and how to pair it with the appropriate equipment to make a customized experience for you. Their expertise is clear and confident and makes you feel like you are in the right place and treating your skin the way it needs to be treated. The overall experience felt like a relief and like I finally found a safe place to be open about my struggles with my skin. They provided me with comfort, confidence, and relaxation. I look forward to my journey with them as my estheticians and skin therapists! I highly recommend Drift to you and your loved ones! Let them take you in and change your skin's life forever. Thank you Cyd and Kristie!
