I had a combo of microblading and powder brows done today per Melodie's suggestion due to my situation (Trichotillomania). I hardly had any eyebrows left after years of pulling, despite using serums. Melodie was extremely kind and gentle throughout the entire process. After she drew the outline of the proposed shape, I asked if I could FaceTime my sister to confirm the shape and she said to take as long as I needed. The process went so smoothly and I am extremely happy with the result the color is taupe). I will be back in a month for the recommended touchup. read more

I have been considering getting my brows done for at least two years. I did a lot of research and finally made an apt. with Melodie. I could not be happier. I elected to have nanoblading. Melodie was kind, gentle and professional. She explained everything and I love the results. I'll be going back soon for a different treatment. read more

Melodie is AMAZING. I cannot recommend her enough. Got powder brows from her and she did such an amazing job. Going back ASAP for lip blushing, eyeliner, and microneedling. She is so talented, kind, and does the best work. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but Melodie truly changed my life. I had years of sun damage and dark spots from being outdoors, and after spending a lot of money on dermatologists, creams, and lasers, nothing really worked. My skin always looked uneven and tired. After seeing Melodie, I can honestly say my skin has never looked this good. She knew exactly what to do and took her time explaining everything. The results are incredible. My skin is clear, smooth, and even again. The spots that used to bother me every time I looked in the mirror are almost completely gone. It feels like she gave me my face back. I'm still amazed every time I see my reflection. Melodie is the real deal and I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I received a facial and radio frequency treatment before my wedding and I am THRILLED that I did. I looked so radiant and flawless on my special day. My experience was more than an excellent facial, though. I felt so held and cared for. Not only did I find one of the best aestheticians in the area (she really knows her stuff), but she's incredibly sweet and thoughtful, too. I definitely had some pre wedding jitters, but speaking with her and hearing her calm wisdom really put me at ease. I'm definitely going to go back to her!! Thank you, Melody!!! read more

I was very happy with Melodies services. she did wonderful job on my eyebrows, and made sure i was happy with the results.

Melodie did such an excellent job in micro blading my brows and adding permanent eye liner. She took extra care and results are beautiful.

My ophthalmologist recommended permanent eye makeup to reduce the inflammation of my eyes caused by eyeliner. Even though I used a "pure" product that was supposed to have minimal flaking my eyes were constantly itchy and inflamed. I was very concerned about the process and selected Melodie Girarde, an aesthetician who came highly recommended by a medical aesthetician who works for a well-known Santa Barbara plastic surgeon. I was extremely pleased, both with the result and also with her careful process and her focus on avoiding infection and any later problems. read more

Melodie is an artist! She is so calm, professional, and incredibly good at what she does. I am not a "spa" or "makeup" person at all, but I always wanted permanent makeup. I have been nervous a lot during the process but she has been steady and caring helping me through it all! And, I look fab and never have to apply makeup again. Trust her and know that she knows what she is doing - both color, the process of permanent makeup and just being a very kind and guiding light. read more

My lips are ruined from her lip blushing technique. I'm a model and actress and put the utmost importance on looking natural, not to mention I had important meeting in a few days she said I would be fine for. Biggest regret going to her. She only cared about getting paid. Her work looks fake. I will pay for far too long for this. Hope this helps someone out there. Do not do lip blushing ! read more

I found melodie from a recommendation from a roommate who was very pleased with her microblading. I decided to take the leap. I was very happy with melodies patience with questions about the procedure and does follow up very diligently. the color we chose is perfect as red hair is challenging to match. I had literally no eyebrows and now it looks like real hair. I am also planning on doing microneedling for skin rejuvenation and scars. very pleasant experience. very punctual and melodie really put me at ease. will be back! read more

Melodie was awesome! She was professional, friendly and I felt like she really knew what she was doing. Definitely will be back! (Had a bad experience at another place and she completely erased it - and has me feeling good again!) read more

Absolutely amazing! So impressed with my brows. I received microblading for the first time and Melodie is fantastic.

I'm excited to see the end result in a few weeks! *Pics are before microblading and RIGHT after finishing* read more

Melodie was such a pleasure to work with! She's very friendly and very knowledgeable, and you can tell that she's passionate about her job. She did a micro needling treatment for me and I cannot wait to schedule my next one because the results are already so great! I went in with my concerns being skin texture from acne, pore size, and melasma. Before the procedure we sat down and went over my skin care routine and lifestyle. She tries to tackle your "problems" with a really holistic and well rounded approach, and talked to me about all the factors that can contribute to melasma which I thought was a really thoughtful touch. The procedure itself went so smoothly and she made me feel so comfortable. Healing went well, I actually used one of her Collagen Boosting products for aftercare and I actually really liked the product. Overall the experience was positive from beginning to end and I will be making my next appointment very soon!! read more

I would 100% recommend Melodie to any and everybody. She is not only an incredible person but is also incredibly talented. One of those truly genuine people that deserves huge success and I know she will achieve just that. I had my eyebrows micro bladed about a year ago from another business and was not totally satisfied with them so I decided to look at Yelp and Google to see who was highly recommended. This is where I was able to find Melodie. I filled out the information online and got a text from Melodie the next day which was a Sunday. She was super accommodating and got me in a few days later. Some other places I was contacting, I was unable to get into for months. When I entered the salon, I was impressed how clean and welcoming it was. Melodie was working with another client but welcomed me with open arms and took me into the room to discuss my eyebrows. She asked me what my concerns were and what I wanted improved with my current eyebrows. Then she got to work and told me what she was doing to help improve my concerns with my brows. She was very thoughtful throughout the process and made sure that it was not painful (she numbs the area before starting to help with that). It was like talking to a friend that I had known for many years. This process is not un-painful but her kindness and our conversation helped to ease the pain. I am completely satisfied with my eyebrows and the color of them. I will defiantly be going back to Melodie for skin issues I have had since I was a teen. She is amazing with what she does and has lots of certifications to prove her ability and willingness to make her business succeed. read more

I have been considering getting my eyebrows microbladed for a while now, but only committed to actually getting them done when my daughter had hers done by Melodie. She did such a meticulous job that I was sold! Upon meeting Melodie, she made the process so calm and explained in detail the whole process and what to expect after treatment . I loved her kind sweet patient spirit, and was blown away by the results, as I was very precise as to what I wanted. she did not disappoint and blew me away with the final results!!

My second session with Melodie!!! I am absolutely obsessed with my results from the lip blush and micro blading, I can't remember the last time I wore makeup! Melodie is truly the absolute best in Santa Barbara, she definitely makes you feel at home and comfortable and her prices are unbeatable read more

When you walk into Melodie's office space, it feels warm and inviting. And then you meet Melodie. She is a good listener, warm, kind and has an air of confidence in her job. I had previously had semi perm eyebrows done and the color didn't last even a year. I had it touched up 3 times. Of course I have oily skin so I expected that. However I decided to try someone else for a touch up and contacted Melodie. She is so kind and evaluated my brows via text with photos and offered me powder brows after I explained that the previous color didn't last. I just had to write a review NOW....I haven't even had the brow color boost yet and I'm already over the moon with my powder brows. The color has hardly faded (and this is the time it is supposed to fade). I've had several compliments and I just can't wait to see the finished product. She did an amazing job with sketching them and let me help pick a color that I thought would look good. I can not recommend her enough. Oh and her prices are extremely fair and competitive. My only regret is not seeing her first. Thanks Melodie! Can't wait for the touch up! read more

I found Melodie through my friend who had microblading and absolutely raved about her results with Melodie. I reached out to Melodie and she was able to work with me on the same day. I am visiting from LA, so i felt lucky to get in! I had powder brows done and in the past, I had microblading done in San Fernando Valley and it was a horrible job. Melodie color corrected my eyebrows and did a removal of old green ink and they look amazing! I will definitely come back to get a facial and lip blush and Melodie has a very professional demeanor and her beautiful office is very sterile. She explains the process and plans it out with you to relax you. Overall, look forward to seeing her again soon! read more

She takes care of her clients by individualizing their vision on the end results. I love her studio it's comfortable, cozy, inviting, cute, but most of all clean and safe.

I had reservations about permanent make-up. I did a lot of research and honestly, did not like what I saw. My darling neighbor had her brows and eyeliner done and when I complemented her, she told me Melodie Girard did them. I called for an consultation and after speaking with her, made the decision to have my brows and eyeliner done. Melodie was professional, yet comforting and answered all of my questions, kept me calm (I was nervous) and let me know the steps she was taking as she went along. Outcome? I love my new brows and eyeliner. They save me time every morning plus I look a hell of a lot better when I wake up now. I was particularly concerned about the look being less than "natural" as I don't typically wear a lot of makeup. She nailed it. I have received so many compliments, and most importantly, from my harshest critic, my daughter. She kept telling me how great I look! So, if you are on the fence, call Melodie for a consult. She'll be honest, and if you're not sure, she can work with you to determine an application that you will be comfortable with. I cannot say express how much her work exceeded my expectations. She is a wonderful person too - a delight. read more
