1. Knowledgeable and professional. Shelby, the owner is the aesthetician. She's quite knowledgeable about her products and skin. She educated, but did not up sell. She's a natural at this and I look forward to returning. I told her I liked deeper pressure on the Massage part and she was great. They offer a red light therapy on your face and your neck. This is why I decided to give them a try. 2. Ambience. What a cute little spa. When you walk in, you feel like you've just stepped into an oasis. Welcoming chairs, water for you, some lovely items from Jewelry to skin care products, as well as work out and hat attire. It was well spaced, so it was relaxing, but there was some thing to peruse while you're waiting if you wish. 3. I spoke with her husband, who is also her business, partner, and Lisa, at the front. They both were very good. Scheduling was easy. I actually got quite sick and so I had to reschedule and they were very understanding. 4. Easy parking across the street at CVS. I'm so happy to have discovered this spa for Facials. 5. Homegrown, local. She grew up here and has decided to stay and invest in her community. I love supporting local., Whether new to the area or homegrown. This is a wonderful small business that I highly recommend. read more

After years of over threading my eyebrows, I finally found Shelby! I struggled with finding a consistent, reliable person that could do my eyebrows without thinning them out too much. Threading and waxing caused me to break out as my skin is very sensitive. Often times, my eyebrows/skin would be so red and bumpy from the irritation. However, I discovered sugaring from Shelby and I'm so glad I did. Shelby is very professional, friendly and has a great aseptic technique. The spa is super clean and has a very welcoming feel to it. Shelby did sugaring on my eyebrows. The whole process was painless and Shelby really took her time to make sure that I was comfortable and that I loved the results. I can't wait to keep going with Shelby! Keep up the great work! read more

I fully trust that Shelby's assessment of my skin was accurate and I will use her recommendations moving forward. I was so impressed that I booked monthly treatments. What a gem in San Roque! Book a service and go! read more

Shelby is AN ANGEL. She takes care of my brows like they are her beloved newborn babies, carefully tending to them with utmost precision and love. After a wax and tint, I always leave feeling amazing and someone inevitably comments moments later on how great my brows look! So five stars for the brow love and a bonus five stars for Shelby herself; she is charming, funny, warm, and super reliable. Naturally I also need the occasional facial or when I'm feeling wild, a whole set of lash extensions! All of her services come with the same attention to detail and expert care. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

After the place I regularly go for waxes closed during the pandemic, I found Shelby and Santa Barbara Spa and am so happy I did! She was professional, efficient and friendly. She asked me questions and truly listened to what I was wanting in terms of my eyebrows and they looked terrific after a year of no waxing. I really appreciated that she took the time to understand what I was going for and to make sure I was comfortable. It was also super easy to make an appointment online. Would definitely recommend! read more

I had a facial with Shelby today and she is so kind and knowledgeable. She made me feel so comfortable and had some great tips for taking care of my skin at home.

Where do I start , Shelby is amazing !!! Product knowledgeable and cares about her clients . I've seen Shelby now twice and will be my go too. (Best shoulder and head message ever ) read more

Shelby was recommended through social media and after 6 months of not getting waxed I finally felt safe and ready to get them waxed. Making an appointment online was super easy. Due to Covid, the table was set up outside but it's still very private. I had a lip wax and brow wax and she did an amazing job. My brows are super tricky bc they are two totally different shapes, naturally. She kept the thickness of them and managed to shape them into actually looking alike. I love my brows now! Shelby was very professional, had a consent form, took temperature and wipes everything down before her next client. I felt really comfortable. I found my new brow esthetician! read more

Shelby is amazing!!! Her place is so cute and cozy and welcoming. She does a really great job at making you feel comfortable, easiest person to talk to. I went in for a wax and she made sure to check in with me during the wax and helped make the experience a breeze. She pays attention to details and really takes her time with the process. I was very satisfied with the results, will definitely be returning! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a wax :)! You will immediately recognize the passion Shelby has for this job and how much she adores her clients. read more

Flawless brows executed by Shelby every time. I feel so lucky to have found her and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking serious eyebrow rehabilitation. I have had my eyebrows waxed and threaded for years and never felt listened to, or that I paid for what I actually wanted. From my very first experience at the Santa Barbara Spa with Shelby, I could tell it was different, she was gentle, meticulous and went extra lengths to ensure I was comfortable and understood. After many visits, I'm always surprised at how full and healthy she manages my brows while having the expertise to know exactly what hairs to remove that would create the most complementary shape. I've always had one of the two compromised when asking for full and arched looks that left me with thinner brows with super unnatural arched shapes and until I had a consultation with Shelby, I just accepted that reality. After multiple visits I realized she really worked hard to find a sweet spot for my eyebrows, and what seems like a small service created such remarkable results for my confidence. I feel my eyebrows have reached a new prime in Shelby's hands and I return to the Spa for Shelby's technical work, honesty, unmatched hospitality. read more
