I can't recommend Kirsten enough. I'm very particular about my lashes and she somehow gets them exactly 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! read more

I was so lucky to have Natalie (owner) do my eyelash extensions! She was so kind and created such a comfortable environment! I didn't give her much to go off of in terms of what I wanted, but exceeded my expectations with the look! I love Natalie and will definitely be going back. read more

I was so lucky to have Kirsten as my esthetician for my first lash lift. I haven't worn mascara since 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! read more

Ive always been hesitant about fake tans because I have sensitive and dry skin, but Kirsten completely changed my mind. I tried a few spray tans with her before my wedding, and the results were flawless every single time. No patchiness, no orange tones just a beautiful, natural looking glow. Now I'm hooked on spray tans with Kirsten instead of spending hours in the sun and risking skin damage. I can't recommend her enough! read more

I got my first spray tan from Kirsten and it was amazing! The vibe during the service was so comfortable and the tan gave me such a beautiful glow, no creasing & no patchiness. I was shocked at how amazing it looked. Thank you Kirsten!! Definitely my go to in Santa Barbara! read more

OBSESSED WITH KIRSTEN! She has a very personalized approach every time I see her. You'll leave feeling so good about yourself and not even wanting/needing to wear makeup. I've done spray tans, lash lift + tint and (my personal fav eyebrow lamination + tint.) I save the lashes + spray tans for special occasions but the brows are a regular part of my regimen and I HIGHLY suggest. Great vibes, relaxing space & staff. I have very sensitive skin (I touch my face and it gets red) but none of the product used has ever left me with a reaction. Just general redness that goes down within an hour. Sensitive skin girlies not to worry! read more

just moved to Santa Barbara and I lucked out, Natalie the owner is the best! she got me all ready for my wedding- told me which services I needed and didn't need (we love an honest queen) everyone was raving about my tan at my wedding (she got me all glowed up via spray tan) and I can't say on here what my husband thought of her waxing and sugaring skills but let's just say we're all a fan of her work read more

This was my first visit to Lucent and Kirsten was amazing. I got a spray tan and everything was so easy. I will definitely be back!

I have faded micro bladed eyebrows so I decided to see if Kirsten could do anything with my sad eyebrows before I'm forced to get them touched up. My fine eyebrow hairs point downwards and just don't do very much. Kirsten not only cleaned up my eyebrows with a wax and lamination but she TRANSFORMED them. My eyebrow hairs now lay where I want them and somehow look fuller. It really looks like she magically planted more hairs in my eyebrows! I can't thank her or recommend her enough. read more

My search for an eyelash extensions place is finally over!!! Can't recommend Kirsten enough. I'm Korean and have short, straight lashes so it's always a gamble when I try a new esthetician. Kirsten made me feel so comfortable, was patient in listening to my needs and challenges I've had in the past, and made sure I left feeling 100% satisfied. Her technique is great, and my lashes feel so healthy and the extensions last really long!! I've been back for about 5 fills now over the past several months, and I can't imagine going to anyone else. Thank you so much, Kirsten!!!! You are a true gem! read more

Kirsten gave my brows an AMAZING makeover. She did a wax and a lamination/tint and they looked so perfect. She kept my natural shape and I left feeling gorgeous and my eye color popped with the tint. If you need an esthetician in Santa Barbara this is your GIRL!!! 12/10 recommend! read more

Natalie is the best in the business. I've been going to her for 11 years and will never change. Her waxing is waiting quick and she does a phenomenal job. Her lash work is amazing. Highly recommend for all services!! read more

Natalie is a brow wizard! She always makes my asymmetrical eyebrows magically look symmetrical! She's also detail-oriented and efficient (and a cool person)! I've never left feeling disappointed! I highly recommend! read more

Love this spa!! The hydra facial works wonders. Great sugaring as well. Totally recommend

First off, wow. My friends and I were looking for a place to get monthly maintenance work done, and I searched high and low to find this place. We went, but I kept my expectations low because I am loyal to my person in Los Angeles. And also, I like to think everything in LA is better. I was/am wrong. My friend went first, and she is incredibly neurotic. She came out PRAISING Natalie. Then my other friend went in to get her first sugaring ever. She, too, came out much happier on the other side, which is hard to say because.. well the entire experience can be a little harrowing. And then I went it.. and quickly out. Natalie does great work- thorough, thoughtful, and the perfect mix of professional and friendly. She uses medical-grade cleaners and cleanses and sanitizes her work station and door handles between each client. I definitely recommend Lucent and Natalie. read more

Jamie did an incredible job with my lashes. Was super helpful in finding the right ones for me. The space is calm, clean, relaxing and has an incredible view. Will definitely be back! read more

A hidden gem conveniently located up State Street. I've dealt with relentless adult acne for the past four years and was pretty much resigned to my skin behaving bizarrely forever. In September, I booked a Hydrafacial at Lucent as an impulse buy for a "me" day. I usually get a facial once a year and wasn't expecting more than some time to relax. I got a phenomenal facial from Diana, who is insanely talented and so skilled at what she does! Though I was expecting to just pop in and out, she immediately took to getting a thorough understanding of my skin, its problems, the products I use, and my skincare routine. She gently suggested I make facials a regular thing and confidently stated "We can get you to a point of not needing to wear foundation in no time." Challenge accepted. Sure enough, after about four more appointments, I can go foundation-free after nearly a decade of daily wear. My weirdly-behaving acne is almost gone and no longer pops out when I'm stressed, eat dairy, or go through hormonal times. Diana is amazing, with such calm energy, and she genuinely CARES about your skin and your needs. You will leave with a glowing face that you can sustain. This is the only place to get your facial. read more

I'd like to start off by saying I was a little hesitant going here at first, I use yelp heavily for reference into the products or places I go and there weren't many pictures to go off of. That being said I am so happy I went anyways, I made an appointment with the owner herself and I couldn't be happier. We started off with simple eyelash extensions as I have never had them before and wanted to start off with not as dramatic. They ended up absolutely beautiful. I just had my second appointment yesterday for an eyelash fill and a spray tan. I think I will definitely be doing more dramatic lashes my next appointment but she takes her time and makes them absolutely beautiful, natural looking. They feel amazing and the quality is awesome and I now have super gorgeous eyelashes. This was my first spray tan I have ever gotten in my life so again, super nervous. I'm not even too comfortable with myself naked let alone someone else seeing me but she made it so comfortable and walked me through the whole thing. I was terrified of that spray tan "orange" but I look glowing and can't wait to go to a wedding tomorrow. I will recommend 1,000% to go here for any of your skincare needs!! Note on my pictures I attached, the tan looks a lot darker in the picture due to lighting. Will try and post one in natural sunlight. read more

Nathalie is FANtastic, she did a FABULOUS job on my eyelash tint and eyebrow shaping. Her prices are right on the mark and not SoCal ridiculous. I left feeling pampered and COVID safe. Will definitely return, THANK YOU Nathalie! read more

I got full volume eyelash extensions with Violet. She did such an amazing job! I love my eyelash's. Highly recommended

A girlfriend just came to visit me from out of town and had the most beautiful, natural looking lashes. She said that they were faux mink. After doing some research I came to Lucent. The space is serene, clean and the staff couldn't have been kinder. I ended up getting the full set of faux mink and couldn't be happier. I have had lash extensions in the past but they weren't the look I was going for. I wanted soft and feathery not fake looking. They do offer the more dramatic look and I may do that at another time but it's not the look I wanted to achieve. I'm very happy with my experience and have already referred a couple of friends. :) read more

For a long time I was embarrassed of my skin. I had the worst acne in the world that I hated showing my face in public without thinking someone will only see the giant planets that were growing but now I don't have that fear. Thanks to the wonderful Natalie I have never been so comfortable in my skin. I never wear makeup because I confidently want to show off my clear skin and its glow! You wouldn't have believed how bad my skin was but thanks to her skin care regime recommendations, facials, retin-a peels, and listening to her...she just made my skin the best it has ever been! Thank you Natalie! You are truly talented and magical. I've been seeing Natalie for about 6 years and she only wants what is best for her clients. Not only has she been helping my skin but is an artist at my brows. I highly recommend her to everyone! My picture is recent: a couple weeks after a fourth peel, no make up, no filter read more

Lucent Skincare Santa Barbara - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

I can't say enough about this place. It's beyond clean (for the covid concerns), professional, and pure quality. The staff is amazing and they make you feel comfortable( which is difficult for a person like me that deals with anxiety). This was my second treatment. I noticed a difference in my dry skin, spots, acne, blackheads, and oily forehead after just ONE treatment. I am the type of person who believes I can fix my problems at home with out the big bucks of treatments. But let me tell you... They are reasonably priced and it's worth every penny to start to love your skin. I wish I started this years ago without throwing money away at products I see online that don't do anything. I drive from Pasadena area to get my treatments once a month. It's a family owned business and we all know how important it is to support small businesses in this time of insanity. They have won a life long customer. Keep up the amazing work. read more

Lucent Skincare Santa Barbara - After a hydro facial getting a relaxing mask! - Skin Care Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

First of all, this place is amazing!! The staff is flexible, it's meticulously kept, Natalie is a true professional and the outcome was perfect. I booked a same day appointment, had my brows waxed & tinted, eyelashes tinted and am returning for a spray tan. I am so happy that I discovered Lucent and would highly recommend this business. read more

This place is amazing. Natalie did an awesome job on my brows. My eyebrows are super difficult and I am never happy with this results, until now! I love what she did. It's like she knew what I was going for and just did it! I also got a lash lift. Another great decision. Bye bye makeup! I will be going nowhere else! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the beta experience! read more

I've met dozens of Estheticians, facialists, dermatologist, and other skincare experts. So the fact that Natalie is the only one I go see regularly is a testament to how amazing she is. There is something about her no-nonsense, practical approach to skincare that's refreshing, reassuring and most importantly effective. Over the course of several in-office treatments with Natalie, I've seen a radical difference in the texture and appearance of my skin. Tip: free street parking, by appointment only, and overall affordable. Natalie is the best esthetician you'll find in Santa Barbara. She's extremely knowledgeable about skincare and uses the highest quality, noninvasive products. She's the perfect combination of a gentle touch yet tough enough to properly treat and heal skin from the inside out. Aside from her services, I truly enjoy every time I see Natalie. Her esthetician room is calm and relaxing. She herself is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted and positive individuals I've ever met. I trust her to tell me what I need to hear because she radiates with sincere care for her clients and a commitment to skincare. So wether you are going for lash extensions, hydro-facials, spray tan, wax or what have you, you know you're getting the best treatment in Santa Barbara. read more

Ladies if you want great lashes - look no further! I started going to Lucent Skincare in 2015. Honestly, I still get compliments and people often ask we where I get mine done. Natalie, Rachel, & Violet have all done my lashes and I love how they all do a consistently reliable and beautiful job. I really appreciate this because I can always go at the same time on the same day. You get what you ask for. I often see really dramatic lashes, but being able to have a more natural looking set put on I feel is harder to find. The ladies at Lucent really will listen and meet your request accordingly (dramatic, natural, or somewhere in between) I also throw in brows and a spray tan when my time permits. I love how the tan makes me actually feel better (and Not! Orange or smell bad). The salon is upstairs in a well light building with a beautiful of the mountainside. It's clean w relaxing music playing. Tea and treats are often set out. Go early, unwind, and do something nice for yourself! You won't regret it. read more

I got a hydra facial from Natalie a few weeks back and it truly has done wonders for my skin. I have pretty bad hormonal acne and two weeks after the facial my skin has been the clearest it has been in years. So happy I found Natalie at Lucent skincare and can't wait to get my next facial. read more

Used a Groupon 60min facial deal with Diana! Very thorough, relaxing and peaceful environment. Just what I needed before the holiday season. She's the best and will definitely be back! read more

Rachael was really nice and took her time doing my eyelash extensions. I think she has great talent applying eyelashes, they suit my eyes well! The eyelash extensions are comfortable and feel weightless attached to my natural lashes. They also give my lashes more length and volume without looking too dramatic for the daytime or for work. I have gotten extensions done three other times (at other places), and this is the first time the lashes and the adhesive do not feel uncomfortable. I am really happy with the outcome. The location is a little different, it's in a room in SB Yoga Center. Small, but still clean and enough room to get everything done. read more

Honestly Natalie is the best. I left feeling fly BUT NOT TOO FLY. Natalie executed perfect brows for my man face. She made me feel very comfortable and really understood my bone structure and an appropriate brow shape and color for it. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for great service and amazing execution. read more

Natalie and Hydrafacials go together like PB+J! She does a phenomenal job! She has nursed my overly sensitive skin back to health so gracefully and painlessly. On one occasion I got an allergic reaction to an acne mask and she took me in immediately and masked me and worked on my skin until the rash and allergy subsided. She is pure magic. I cannot recommend this place enough, you must try! read more

Natalie is amazing and all of her services are fantastic. A good friend of mine had never had her eyebrows done, but had been wanting them done, so for her birthday I sent her to Natalie who was so gentle and did a fantastic job! Her waxing is great. I am a HUGE fan of the EYELASHES EXTENSIONS! She fit me in one evening, we talked, she worked, I swear I hardly even felt her adding anything on to my lashes, she was so gentle. When I got up and looked in the mirror I was amazed how awesome they looked and now I don't have to wear eyeliner or mascara - I am sold. read more

They got me in for an appointment very quickly and it's super reasonably priced! I love how my eyebrows look after

Natalie and Lucent Skincare are my dream come true! You can get everything you need to be beautiful done here and believe me you will be more beautiful when you leave there than when you walked in! I started seeing Natalie for a brazilian over a year ago and immediately loved her! She is so nice, accommodating, gentle, funny and obviously AMAZING at what she does. Her brazilians are flawless, fast and so comfortable and now that she is running her own place she is even better! Lucent is located in the yoga center and it is so mellow and relaxing there, the studio she has is decorated so serenely and makes you feel so calm. I recently had a facial and an eyebrow tint done along with my monthly brazilian and afterwards my face was glowing and as creamy as butter and my eyebrows have never looked better! How does she work her magic?! I honestly cannot say enough good things about Lucent and Natalie; the prices are great and I look forward to any occasion I can go in and get beautified! Thank you Natalie for making me look and feel so beautiful you are like my fairy godmother for all things beautifying! read more

I booked online waited over an hour and the lady never showed up. They said I needed to text her so she knows. What's the point of online booking. read more

Love Natalie! She's the sweetest, most caring person and her Hydra facials are luxurious and effective. I purchased a whole series!

Diana absolutely amazing ! I've had facials done all over the US and in other countries and I never had one as amazing as I get with her. I came in with really bad acne and started doing facials with her Monthly it's been four months since my first facial with her and my skin has never been better. One thing I love about this place is they don't push products and do a very natural approach to caring for your skin. Diana specifically responds to my texts and calls instantly no matter what time of the day it is to make appointments and ask questions about products I want to buy. She genuinely cares about your best interest and I will never let anyone else work on my skin again! read more

Natalie is the best! I had my lashes done a month ago and just went back today for a fill and they're so beautiful! I'm so relaxed while she works I fall asleep and wake up and she's already done! I highly recommend! read more
