GETTING HERE:…read more Located on Figueroa, in Downtown Ventura. She's in one of the old Victorian Houses REVIEW: Outstanding experience. Lizette came highly recommended from a friend, and I am so thankful I prioritized my health and well-being by setting an appointment for myself. I scheduled one of her organic facials, and it was a bit of heaven on earth. I couldn't recommend a place more highly to you! Scheduling via text was a breeze. Lizette is quick to respond in detail to answer any questions you have. Getting one of her facials is now a monthly mandatory requirement for my self-care. I tend to get overwhelmed, so we kept it simple on this first visit, and I bought a mask after the treatment was complete. Next visit will be a discussion on her custom makeup offerings. I 1 million percent recommend Lizette, Creme Piel. Thank you!

I love Lizette, her room is like an apothecary she asks about your problem areas on your face and…read morethen she proceeds to make up a concoction for your face needs with all her natural organic flowers, herbs, aromatherapy and products. I love that she uses quality natural products and incorporates ancient beauty tools like Gua sha into each session. Lizette is also a great teacher and wants you to keep the routine up outside of her room and provides instruction and the same products she uses for sale. Her studio is in a cute 1800 Victorian house, with old flower antique paintings and is such a warm and welcoming vibe. She also will do a custom make up, lipstick, filled with her natural products. If you're looking for a great facial with only natural products this is your place! I love all her products, botnia and francsila and she does the research on the quality of the products.

And I can finally say I have beautiful skin! I love you Alla!!!

Enter make-up artist Vanessa O, she is not only personable, but a consummate professional, your face is her palette and she wants you to walk out of her studio like a work of art, and you will. When I think someone has talent, I want everyone to experience it... Vanessa did an amazing job on Sandy S, applying eyelashes which Sandy had never had , and wow! She also showed her the different colors that worked with Sandy's skin tone and it was a complete transformation, which left Sandy beaming the entire day at all the compliments she got. When it was my turn, I told her that my beauty icon was Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and that I always looked to her for hair & color ideas. Vanessa was open to listening to my ideas and googled several photos of Tiffani to get the right look to try on me, she opted for a softer daytime look and it was truly beautiful, very natural, soft and feminine. I can't wait to go back and get a edgy, "rawr" kind of look, because I think I'm ready for that. If you are in the market for a wedding, photo shoot, costume party, casting call, modeling shoot, don't hesitate to call, her pictures don't lie.

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!

Vickie Waite was one of the hair and make-up stylists for my best friend's Santa Barbara wedding…read morethis past weekend. While the other stylist, Julie, did my hair I jumped in Vickie's chair for some makeup love...and hoped when she was done with me you wouldn't be able to see the signs of last night's margarita hangover in my eyes. And she got the job done... Vickie mentioned that the bride had asked her to give everyone a natural look, but I'm one of those girly girls who loves a ton of makeup (the more...the better) so with the bride's permission I asked her to make me super glam instead. She pulled out the smoky purple MAC eye-shadows and got to work. Oh, and there were eyelash extensions involved too, which got me super excited. 30 minutes later I was very happy with the results and didn't ask Vickie to change a thing...and I'm not one to be shy when I think I'd prefer something else. And the other gals looked beautiful too when Vickie was done with them.

I had done two trial runs already with two separate hair stylists and was not very happy with the results. I finally found someone only TWO weeks before my wedding to do mine, my mother, and my sisters hair.... cutting it way too close. Unfortunately, three days before my wedding, my stylist had a tragedy in her family and could no longer make my wedding. Talk about a bride's nightmare! However my stylist had already contacted Vickie Waite for me and had given her all of my details, pictures of what I wanted done, and set her up as a replacement. I had never met her nor done any test runs, but I went with it and crossed my fingers. Vickie turned out wonderful! She came to our hotel, brought all of her supplies and extra just in case, and most importantly she worked with me and listened to what I wanted, even redoing my hair if I did not like it. She did a great job on my family, and stayed to touch up our makeup and help take pictures and videos while we were getting ready. I am very happy to have had her!

My stylist retired and I was without a good cut for three months. I was in Ventura for a wedding…read morethis December and on the recommendation of friends in the area, I made an appointment for a cut with Nadine. I have had nothing but compliments since I stepped out of her salon - you know you hit the haircut jackpot when even strangers at the wedding tell you how great your hairstyle looks on you. I have a cowlick at my hairline and Nadine was still able to give me pretty bangs - bonus! At the bride's request, Nadine also provided make-up at this wedding for the bride, attendants, mothers of the bride and groom, and several special guests, including me. As I write this review, I'm home from the reception and after hours of happy tears, food, and dancing, my make-up looks as perfect as the moment Nadine finished applying it. She used a refreshing finishing spray to set everything and I think it was magic in a bottle. My own make-up has never looked this good!

It's hard out there for a curly-haired girl! I hope to find a hairstylist that doesn't make me feel like I'm from Mars, because of my big hair.
