Amazing facial treatment. Beautiful space, very clean and welcoming. Have had a facial and eyebrow threading. Highly recommend Spa Cia.

Andrea gave me the BEST massage ever! I am a massage therapist and have been receiving and giving massages since the late 90's. So believe me when I tell you how good she is! Andrea has a excellent touch. She worked out all of my tight spots especially my hips. I feel 10 years younger! I am staying at the Hilton Beach Resort and I am so glad I went off campus and found this hidden gem ! Spa Cia boutiqueis quaint and I cant wait to visit again from the Bay Area with my friends for a gals weekend! Bravo! read more

Alicia is beyond talented and knowledgeable! I've done micro blading, facials, waxing and massage services. She is so caring and kind while offering solid advice. I was having major skin issues and she brought my barrier back to life with the enzyme treatment. Thank you! read more

Alicia has been taking care of my waxing services for years! She's super sweet, flexible, and very talented. Highly recommend. read more

Such a contrast to the facial I got elsewhere! I tried another place in SB about 6 weeks prior to this one and it was very underwhelming. I was planning on shopping around for a good spa but I think that I'll have to stop at this one. Alicia was amazing! I'll definitely be requesting her next time. She asked me about my skin (already a step up from the previous place I went to) and was clearly so knowledgeable about how to help it. I have frequent breakouts on my chin which she let me know was likely hormonal. I had figured it was dietary. She then asked me about medications that I am on, and whether I was a vegetarian (which I am). When I left she recommended some omega blend vitamins to take which would help better than topical treatments. The actual facial was so relaxing. The cinnamon mask that she applied had a faux heat to it and I could really feel my acne coming to the surface. And she is an amazing masseuse! She massaged my shoulders which I desperately needed. I only splurge on facials every 6-8 weeks but I'll definitely be back here next time. read more

Alicia is wonderful, on the ball, and does a great job with the waxing and threading I've had her do twice now. The shop is calm and soothing as well. Am def a repeat customer. read more

I got my eyebrows threaded by Alicia and they came out perfectly! She was really, really nice, paid attention to every detail, and the environment was so calming. She also gave me a bunch of tips about how to take care of my skin. I am hoping to return for a facial soon! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to get threading done. read more

Spa Cía - Perfect brows by Alicia. - Massage Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Love coming here and getting my eyes threaded especially since it's hard to trust someone with your eyebrows. My first time here, was 2 days before my wedding day, and she did an amazing job!!! It's Such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, and the owner is amazing and likes to connect with you. My go to place. read more

My experience at Spa CIA was amazing! I received the Cia Special which includes a facial and 30min massage. Alicia was incredible to say the least. If you are considering this service just stop thinking about it and go, your body will thank you. I really can't say enough good things about my experience. I hope to be back again soon! read more

Went in for my first massage ever actually. They were prompt. Alicia walked me through the process and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed through the whole thing from start to finish. After the massage was over the only negative thing was I wish I had bought 90 minutes instead of 60 because it was amazing. I felt great for the rest of the day. I would definitely recommend this place read more

I love Alicia and Spa Cia. I think I've been a client for nearly 6 or 7 years after finding her with a groupon. I've done facials, massage, and waxing and she is wonderful at all of the above. I'm currently doing the DMK series with her, which I would highly recommend. This little spa is tucked away, upstairs on State Street. It's definitely worth your time to find this gem. Love Alicia! read more

The most delightful spa tucked away around the corner off State Street! Our massage therapist (Andrea and Alicia) were so pleasant and incredible. Cannot wait to come back!! read more

On 1/6/24, I had a classic facial service with Marissa. This was the first facial I had in probably 20 years, and I booked an appointment because I was on a weekend girl friends getaway to Santa Barbara. I knew I would be relaxed, but this experience was on another level of relaxed! The vibe in this quaint spa is very quiet, serene, and peaceful. Marissa herself is a calming presence, and I felt comfortable immediately. The room was the perfect warm temperature, the lights were perfectly dimmed, and soft music was playing in the background. The classic facial services includes a light scalp, neck, shoulder, and arm massage, down to the fingertips. And the foot massage was just enough pressure to induce even more relaxation. Marissa gave me such a great facial, with my skin feeling so soft and healthy afterwards. It was the highlight of my weekend getaway. If I come back, I hope to book with Marissa again! Thank you! read more

I was able to very easily make an appointment for a Brazilian. It was the first time I had ever had sugaring done an I was pleasantly surprised. Ripping hairs from your nether regions is never a fun time, but it was as good as it can be. I would definitely recommend Spa Cia. They are a bit difficult to find, so give yourself a little extra time. read more

Highly Recommend!! I had an amazing facial experience. My skin feels so amazing and the message was very well needed. Will defiantly be coming back to see Alicia! Thank you so much! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while! I recently got a Brazilian Wax from Alicia and let me tell you it was the best one I've EVER gotten!! She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable which is really important to me. Also she uses sugaring instead of traditional wax and it was the most painless experience I've ever had with waxing. She's made a lifelong customer out of me!! 10/10 would recommend read more

Alicia's massage blew me away! I was only in town for 24hrs and I had recently injured my back during my CA road trip. I needed a skilled CMT ASAP! After reading her awesome Yelp reviews, I called Spa Cia and was able to get in right away. Lucky me! Alicia was so kind, very knowledgeable and honed in on every muscle that was causing me distress. She knows her anatomy and gave me the Pro CMT treatment I was praying for. I am also a CMT (something I chose not to tell her) and finding another therapist that I like can be difficult. She rocked my world! Thank you Alicia, my angel!!!! read more

I received my first ever professional massage from Selah and although I can't compare to other places, I can say that this was an incredibly relaxing massage. From the moment I met Selah, she was welcoming, informative and just the sweetest. I typically don't relax, my body has never really been in a state of relaxation and I let Selah know that. But wow, I was so relaxed, I almost fell asleep at one point. Definitely an incredible massage, I'll be going back for another! read more

Spa Cia is the best for waxing!!! Alicia takes her time and is soooo meticulous. The space is very cute and clean and parking is very convenient:) read more

My first bikini wax at age 61. After 30 years of marriage I'm single again. She was so real and so professional. Thank goodness! I encourage you to call her. She made it all feel ver natural, even for an old la read more

From my wife...great communication, ease of making appointment, pretty and clean setting, wonderful appointment with Molly, will definitely be back! read more

Very clean, prompt, and concise service. She takes care in what she does and it is very much appreciated.

I came here for the first time several days ago, and I was impressed. I've only tried one other place in downtown for my Brazilians, but this place topped it. Her methods were very sanitary and she has a no double-dipping policy, which I put a lot of importance to. She was friendly, attentive, very informative, and very quick. She finished my Brazilian in 10 minutes or less with minimal pain and what more can you ask for? Definitely coming back! Another plus: first-time customers get $25 Brazilian or $5 off any other waxing treatment (check her website)! read more

Alicia and molly are such wonderful girls! I will come back regularly! They really know what they are doing! LOVE LOVE LOVE SO MUCH! read more

This was my first visit to Spa Cía and I'd recommend it to anyone! Alicia and Molly were very sweet and gave my friend and I recommendations about Santa Barbara. I saw Molly for some waxing and a facial. The facial was so relaxing and a good wind-down from both the week and the previous hair removal. I wish I could get them here all the time. Thank you, Molly and Alicia! read more

Both Alicia & Star are absolutely amazing! I never write reviews on yelp, ever, but I felt it was important to elaborate on just how great they both are. I started going to Alicia when I was in high school and she has always been so sweet, easy going, excellently priced, and quick (Brazilian waxes). I've never had a bad experience. She makes it incredibly comfortable and her place is adorable! I met Star just in the past year but she is SUCH a sweetheart, and genuinely cares about your skin and how it reacts to different techniques and chemicals per se. She recently started "candying" for my Brazilian, due to my proneness of ingrowns. It's amazing. She always explains in full detail when I have skin care related questions! Seriously, I highly recommend Spa Cia for all treatments! Star and Alicia are incredible. read more

Wow, just wow. Alicia! I have had pretty terrible eyebrows my whole life. Bushy, dark, shapeless. I have gotten them done by at least 7 other professionals and the results were always the same, still shapeless. So i walked into Alicia expecting the same and WOW was I surprised. She herself is sweet, cute, welcoming. Her ability to shape your eyebrows where it gives your entire face an extra point on the scale is uncanny. I not only recommend her, I myself will never go to anyone else. SHE IS AMAZING! Long story short: She makes you feel comfortable immediately, takes the time and effort to really give you what you want, affordable, and does eyebrows PERFECTLY read more

Well... Yelp says 5 stars is "as good as it gets" but Alicia and Danica deserve 100+ stars!!! I have been seeing Alicia for waxing for several years now. She is quick, efficient and gentle. I have had some scary experiences with waxing here in town and Alicia is second to none. Her spa is very clean and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. I recently had shoulder surgery and booked a massage with Danica to work out some of the kinks I had developed in my back in result to compensating for the injured shoulder. She is SO in tuned with the body and has hands of an angel! She is very knowledgeable of human anatomy and instantly knew how to heal my pain and which connective muscles were causing the pain. She is intelligent, intuitive and passionate about her work... A true healer! I would HIGHLY recommend Spa Cía and these 2 ladies for any of your skin care and body work needs... They ROCK! read more

I've been to Spa Cia four times now for eyebrow maintenance and facial. Alicia is incredible, beyond incredible. She is so knowledgable and has given me both the skin and eyebrows I've always wanted but never been able to achieve. I got the basic facial and it was so relaxing and luxurious. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Had a Brazilian wax with Alicia at Spa Cia and she is AMAZING! Not only did she talk me through the whole thing, but she made a very uncomfortable situation, completely relaxed. It was like getting a wax from your best friend! Best part of the whole wax is the product and technique she uses. Waxing, no matter where on my body, normally give me some sort of a reaction, but not this time. Not one drop of blood or red rash at all - sugar waxing. The spa is located right on State St, and is very quaint. Decor inside is very calming and well done to create a welcoming environment. Won't go anywhere else in the future now that I have found Alicia and Spa Cia - highly recommend. read more

This place is a hidden Gem! It's right off State, but you feel whisked away into an enchanted enclave of indulgence and relaxation. With her refined, yet so comfortable decor and furnishings you feel transformed from the moment you walk into Alicia's beautiful little spa... The spa and her space is clean, comfortable and set up w/ all the amenities and then some. Alicia, the owner, is exceptional! She is bright, professional, nurturing and very good at what she does. Her facial treatment included massage of neck/shoulders, hands/arms AND feet! One of the BEST treatments I've ever had!! read more

Amazing Brazilians! Alicia is amazing at what she does and gives me the best Brazilians I've ever gotten.

I visited Spa Cía for the first time today, and I had a great experience! Alicia threaded my eyebrows, and she did a fantastic job. She is very knowledgeable and told me a few tips about how to fix my eyebrows. She also listened to how I wanted my eyebrows to be done, and I think they look great. The atmosphere is calming, and the bed that they provide is very comfy. I definitely plan on returning! read more

I had a terrific Deep Tissue massage from Selah. After having spinal fusion surgery two years ago, I still have some issues with pain and occasional muscle spasms. I have had a number of massages now - and none were as effective, and long lasting, as the one that I got from Selah. In addition to her talents, she is very warm and accommodating. Highly recommended. read more

I got a massage from Selah, and loved it! I was super sore from 2 days of skiing and 2 days of sitting in the car, and she was able to work out all my stiffness. She was great about communicating with me to make sure the pressure was good, and that she hit all my problem spots. read more

I had a great experience at Spa Cia. Alicia was quick to respond to my call and Molly was great to accommodate my last minute appointment. Molly was sweet and did a great bikini/eyelash tint. The place is clean, music was great, and the services are very fairly priced. I would definitely recommend Molly and this salon to anyone! read more

I love this place! Alicia amazing very patient Professional she did a wonderful job on my eyebrows recommending 100%

I just had my second facial appointment at Spa Cia with Alicia. Friendly and knowledgeable, Alicia is a gifted esthetician and massage therapist. My skin looks and feels great and I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Thank you Alicia! read more

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Alicia! She gives, by far the best Brazilians in town. I tried a couple of different places before going to her and all of the Brazilians were painful and took quite a long time. Alicia's are so quick and pain free and she makes it very comfortable for the client. She has also transformed my skin, which used to be very dry and had some acne. I had tried a million different skin care products. Now, after using her skin care products my skin is moisturized and completely acne free! She also gives AMAZING massages and facials! Her space is so clean and relaxing! Not to mention that she is the sweetest person and will always do her best to help you even if it is a little out of her element! She goes above and beyond and provides her client with an exceptional experience! I recommend her to everyone! 5 stars for sure:) read more

Star is amazing. Quick- as painless as waxing can be. Accommodating, kind and a good sense of humor!
