Clara is amazing! She goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients. Her shop is very clean and cute! I am so happy I found this gem in SB. I'd highly recommend booking an appointment. read more

Came to get a pre-vacation spray tan so I could blend in amongst all the summer tan bodies. Was sprayed by Emma and she was so sweet and professional, made me feel comfortable instantly! The tan was PERFECT, looked incredibly natural and I am still just as tan a week later. I have never had a tan that lasted this long! I will be back for ALL my spray tans! read more

Clara is the best! I had my first Brazillian with her almost a year ago and now I'm in every three weeks! Her spot is decorated SO cute she could be an interior designer if she wanted. She uses sugar to wax with so it washes off so easy compared go other waxes that can stick to your clothes. She has a sweet and charming personality so you don't feel too uncomfortable getting pantsless. 10/10 would recommend read more

Amazing experience! I live in the OC, needed a last minute facial and face wax. Ms. Depaola accommodated my last minute request and greeted me with the best customer service I've received in a long time. I am always weary about facials as you never know if you'll walk out with extraction scars or pain. She was so gentle and my dead skin came to life! I also had my eyebrows done which was a huge risk as Ive only allowed two people to touch my brows in the last 15 years. Wow! Perfect shape and she gave me exactly what I asked for and better! Her prices are amazing, easily would have paid triple in OC! read more

Clara was awesome, went in for sugaring hair removal and she was so professional made me feel right at ease. It was my first time getting service done but she was so friendly and nice that I immediately felt comfortable. I loved the results and have already booked my next appointment, have also recommended her to my friends one of which has already booked her appointment. read more

Clara is so sweet and professional! She has outstanding customer service and she does a great job! I got a spray tan and loved the way it turned out, it lasted a long time and smelled great. I highly recommend her, plus why not support your local businesses!! I will be back! Thank you love! read more

Clara is amazing. I found this place with her groupon deal, and was so surprised to find my favorite esthetician from honeys branched out into Goleta. We need her here. She offers awesome waxing at affordable pricing. I recommend this to anyone in need of a quality wax, and friendly atmosphere. read more

Love this place and love Clara! Really fair pricing, especially for students and she's got those cool older sister vibes. The decor is also super cute read more

Clara was quick! I was in and out in 15 minutes. The wax that she used was great in that the barely-there redness I had went away in about 5 minutes. And best of all, that wax didn't cause me to break out like I normally do after a waxing. Her prices are so insanely reasonable!!! The only thing I wish she would have done was trim the length of my eyebrow hair and do a quick once-over with tweezers for my upper lip. I'm used to that at the other places i've been to as it just makes everything look a lot neater. But otherwise, Clara was quick, professional, and GENTLE! Will be back for sure! read more

I am not one to write reviews, however, I felt so compelled to after one of my services done here at SweetCheeks by the owner, Clara. I had first come across her business when she was renting a space on Hollister and I would go for sugaring services. She was always really sweet and professional and I totally loved how affordable and accessible her services were. Fast forward, as I recently moved back to Santa Barbara, I had been looking for a place to get eyelash extensions. I ended up having a terrible experience with another local business and that's when I saw that Sweet Cheeks also did eyelash extensions, so I booked an appointment immediately. This is when I learned Clara's business had now moved to Isla Vista and upon first entering her space, I was so impressed and at awe with how far along the aesthetic and aura of her space looked and felt like. She was still the sweet and professional woman I had met all those years ago and she left my eyelashes to perfection for my birthday! So I ended up booking her again for a refill. Unfortunately, one of my eyes for whatever reason didn't retain the eyelashes and more than half had fallen off within two days since my refill. I was hesitant to reach out to Clara to see if she would fix the issue (having had a terrible experience with a previous eyelash extension esthetician) but decided to anyways. Clara was super responsive and had me come in immediately to resolve the issue. She spent an hour and a half fixing both eyes free of charge and offered some reasons as to why it could've happened. She left my eyelashes looking AMAZING. I truly love her professionalism and care/attention she provides all her customers. Go and support this Latina owned business--you will definitely return. read more

very sad to leave a bad review, people never responded, never was able to reschedule. did not technically no-show, called several times before and did not get a response, never got my money back. read more

Sugaring or waxing of any kind, especially down below, can be kind of scary, but Clara makes the experience quick and painless. She is super sweet and makes sure that you feel comfortable. Also, her prices are very affordable for a college student like me ((: read more

"Clara was fast, kind, and friendly. I'll be back for my next sugaring service with her!" My previous post as a happy customer. Clara has decided to personally attack me as a client because she kept making schedule errors. She never communicated with me that she preferred ONLINE BOOKING only and kept letting me schedule via text with her (I do that with all my other estheticians) but she kept double booking me because of it so couldn't see me when I was scheduled and then her new system never notified me of my appointment until an hour before, I couldn't make it and felt really bad but she then decided to blame me for all of the errors and said I was "aggressive" even sent me screen shots of my messages to her (which none seemed aggressive) and pretty much went off on me. She made me feel like I was a criminal for giving her business which I find odd. As a fellow esthetician this type of behavior between a client and professional in the service industry is not acceptable. *Blocked* good riddance read more

I don't do a lot of Yelp reviews, but Sweet Cheeks deserves a very well-deserved 5-stars! Every time I've gone in for waxing and tanning services, I have been impressed. Clara does a fantastic job. My legs and eyebrows looks great, and her spray tans are perfectly done. I get lots of compliments. Her manner is professional and efficient, and as an added bonus, she's as sweet as can be.Her shop is cute too. I can tell she is very meticulous in all aspects of her business. read more

I scheduled an appointment with Clara for an eyebrow wax and somehow it didn't show up in their system. Despite my appointment not appearing in the online booking system, I only had to wait 15 minutes for Clara to show up and immediately usher me into the back to proceed with the wax. She was extremely accommodating despite the miscommunication and gave me the best eyebrow wax I've had in a long time--I will definitely be returning! read more

Clara is great! Went here for sugaring after my friend recommended it. Clara makes her clients feel welcome and is very professional.

Clara is super nice and welcoming! I love coming to SweetCheeks it's clean and the experience is alway great. I love the way Clara does my lashes every time. Her work is consistent and she is always professional, highly recommend to friends and family in coming in to check out SweetCheeks:) read more

I found Sweet Cheeks initially from Groupon and I couldn't be more glad that I did. Clara gives her best in keeping her customers satisfied! I get sugaring done and she is very thorough and efficient. She makes the whole process go smooth and as painless as possible. If you are a student, there are some sweet deals as well. Make sure to check it out if you want an honest and loyal service! read more

This place is AMAZING! I'm naturally a tan person but wanted to be extra tan for stagecoach. I was really nervous because I've never gotten a spray tan and I didn't want to look orange but my tan came out perfect. Sweet cheeks is AMAZING in customer service. Not only did I get to reschedule my appointment for an earlier time, but after I left I didn't wear pants and I got an imprint Mark and my tan rubbed off. I was able to go back in the same day and have it fixed for free. Later that night I spilled juice down my leg causing instant streaks and they offered to AGAIN fix the damage that was caused my be. I absolutely love this place !! read more

My first Brazilian experience here at Sweet Cheeks was so wonderful! Clara was so sweet and attentive to needs. She knew to talk through the tough spots and made sure to explain how sugaring worked. The technique they use to wax makes the experience quick, easy, and did not leave any lasting bruising or marks for me personally. The axxess deal and discounts she offers for students makes it a must try spot and you will definitely want to return! Thank you again! read more

AMAZING!! For so long I have been looking for somewhere I could get my brows done locally. I heard from a friend that Sweet Cheeks was the place to go so I decided to give it a try. Clara is professional and keeps her studio very clean. As far as the service goes, I was not disappointed! My eyebrows looked amazing by the time Clara was done with them. She is a very sweet person and I am glad she was accommodating with getting me in. The ample parking was a plus! I will be back again :) read more

Clara is the greatest! She is really sweet and very professional. I always feel very comfortable with her through out the whole process. She really knows what she is doing. Highly recommend! read more

The brazilian sugaring doesn't capture all the hairs, and I think it is more painful than hot waxing. But, I suppose sugaring is still beneficial in the sense that it does not irritate the skin as much as hot wax. However, the full body spray tan I received here was not as satisfactory. It was maybe $30 at least, and it wasn't as dark as I wanted. And I'm not sure if the application was uneven or what, because within two days of my appointment, my stomach was already streaking and not developing correctly. It looked strange. read more

I had such a positive experience at sweet cheeks. I was so scared to try sugaring the first time. However, Clara, (the Esthetician) made me feel very comfortable and I got such good results, that I now go to sweet cheeks regularly for a Brazilian. I recommend everyone to go to sweet cheeks for hair removal. read more

Just discovered this place today. Found it on Groupon and it was such a pleasant surprise to see Clara again, this time owning and managing her own place! I got a sugar Brazilian. She's very thorough and gentle, makes it a comfortable experience for you and she is so friendly. Highly recommend it! Loved it, will be going back! read more

Came here after months of not touching my brows due to a terrible brow experience...Clara knew exactly what to do for my brows regarding my face shape and personal thickness preference! I would have liked them to be left a little more natural, but am glad that now they can grow out with the integrity of their natural shape. Took off a star because she was fifteen minutes late and I had to wait in a small room with a nauseating amount of perfume and other chemical scents, and there's a red, burning area under one of my eyebrows that hasnt gone away since the waxing (four days ago). But I would definitely trust Clara with my brows anytime!! And I'm super picky:) read more

Clara is super sweet and did a great job on my brows and Brazilian. I love that this spot is little local and not far from my home. Hidden gem for sure. Definitely will be back. read more

Did an amazing brow waxing!! My eyebrows look so much better now. Will definitely be back!! Thanks so much :)

I hadn't been waxed in over 2 months, so I was long overdue. She was very nice, and didn't make me feel bad for not coming in sooner. She was extremely fast and efficient, and she could tell that I was in more pain than normal (since I waited so long) that she tried to keep me distracted with casual conversation. She's been waxing for 6 years so she knows what she's doing, and you can tell by the work that she does. I left with a pre-booked appointment for next time! :) read more

Great experience getting a bikini sugaring. I keep telling all my friends about this place! Carla is super sweet and I walk away so happy every time. If you're on the fence, go for it. Carla makes the whole process so pleasant and the end result is wonderful! read more

I went to Clara three months ago to try sugar paste hair removal for the first time and had such a great experience that I've been back 4 times since. She is so friendly and knowledgeable about her services. I highly recommend her! read more

Amazing! Clara was incredible! Today was my first visit and will definitely be coming back for eyebrow upkeep! Love,love,love!!

I've been meaning to write a review for Clara's salon for a while now. Clara is the best! She's always so lovely and provides superb service at unbeatable prices. I recommend her to my friends all the time. Definitely check out Sweet Cheeks (right behind Mission City Auto)! read more

Clara is amazing! Super friendly, easy to talk to and great customer service. I already booked my next appointment and I cant wait to tell all my friends. read more

I cannot express how excellent Clara is at what she does. She is professional, patient and she always makes you feel comfortable. Not only does she make time to book whenever I need to come in, she is also very understanding when I've had to cancel on short notice (not to make it into a habit) however, it was comforting to know that she is willing to accommodate and reschedule whenever necessary. This is the first place I have ever done sugar waxing, and I will never go back to regular french wax. Sugar wax removes any dead skin, it will not burn you, and it is also a lot more sanitary. Aside from the excellent services, Sweet Cheeks has to be the cutest boutique I have ever been to. If you have the chance to come here, I promise you wont regret it! read more

Clara is great! The location of the building is super convenient for UCSB students and the prices are even better. She is super friendly and talks to you the whole time while doing a very thorough job. I haven't gone to anyone else besides her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a quick and painless experience. Plus her space is super cute and welcoming. read more

Clara is great. Went in for a spray tan (my first time ever) and she made it so easy and comfortable. She talks to you the whole time, which makes standing there naked a lot less awkward lol. Very cute little place! read more
