Best Beauty Salons In Santa Barbara

“I booked an eyelash lamination same day - with Yazmine. She's AMAAAZING!! Super professional, extremely gentle - which is what you want when dealing with your lashes. I'm very happy with the results just look at them! will definitely be going back!“

“It's been at least a year since I have had a professional facial. Taylor is the best and there is a reason she is booked out so far in advance...worth the wait. It was fun and relaxing but educational all at the same time. How is that even possible? Can't wait to use my new products. Highly recommend if you want to pamper yourself and also walk away empowered that you know what your skin needs!“

“When I moved to Santa Barbara, I googled "best salons in SB". This one showed up at the top of the list. It did not disappoint. Breanna (owner) is an artist and a lovely human being. I have now been going for two years. The salon has such a cozy fun vibe, with exceptionally talented stylists. Highly recommend.“

“I came out of town for my son's wedding. I found Chi Beauty Artistry on Yelp and Belle did my makeup and hair. I called Belle to book my appointment 3 weeks before wedding. She texted me the day before and asked to come early so I could have more time to get dressed. She showed up on time with her chair and make up case. I showed her a few inspiration pictures and she just knew what to do with my Asian skin. I trusted her to design my hair. My make up and updo hair looked so elegant! She is punctual, experienced and fun to work with. Thank you Belle for making me look beautiful on the big day!“

“Valeria is amazing (to say the least!)!! I used to feel the need to wear makeup to try and "hide" the imperfections of my skin, however, that is no longer the case! I have seen such great improvement in my skin and now feel more than comfortable going out without having to wear anything but sunscreen! She's seriously the goddesss of skincare!!“

“I had the bright idea of tinting my eyebrows at home and somehow they turned orange. I called Jen and she was able to see me right away. It was my first time at her studio and she made me feel right at home. He studio is clean and beautifully decorated. She did a pro job and I'm happy with the results.“

“First of all, Emma provides a genuinely wonderful facial. The brand she uses is top-notch, and her touch is both therapeutic and soothing. What I appreciated most was Emma's genuine dedication to my skin and the results of the facial, even though she knew from the start that I was only visiting Santa Barbara and unlikely to return. Emma's passion for helping people find the best skincare routines and solutions was evident. She offered educated advice and detailed information about the product line she uses, but only after I asked for more information. This meant she wasn't trying to push products on me. At the end of the session, she sincerely invited me to follow up with her if I had any questions about the facial, the products, or anything about Santa Barbara since I was just visiting. I had an absolutely fantastic facial with Emma. The service was wonderful, the experience professional, and meeting Emma was great all around.“

“I have been going to Victoria at Studio S for the past year and a half and I have never been disappointed! She always does exactly what I have envisioned :) she is a perfectionist and will do whatever it takes to get it just right! She is always so happy and bubbly, so the whole experience is perfect 10/10 recommend her - she also works Sundays which is unusual for a hairdresser and I am so thankful to her! This is the color + cut she did the day before my wedding day, I loved it!“

“I’ve been to see Cody severe times for Botox and waxing. She is amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and heard.“

“Very friendly and professional; honest; great results! She made me feel comfortable and listened to all my thoughts and concerns.“

“I have been going to Amy for many years! She really goes that extra mile to thread/shape my eyebrows based on what suits my face. I'm beyond thankful I found her, bummed that I'm moving but will see her any chance I have when visiting“

“I am a repeat customer of Dahlia's. They are often busy, so you may want to call and find out the availability and wait time. They do accept walk-in's, unlike most places.“

“Keota is such a creative and positive person, I am stunned! She took me in not knowing how MUCH hair I have. She had a window scheduled for average (normal) hair length and thickness. Still, she was laughing even though she was running against the time towards her other hair appointment after me. And; she made it!!! Not only is she a beautiful mind but also she's really honest and talented. My haircut is super good and the color- soooo beautiful. Thank you Keota, you made my day.“

“Sammi has been my hair stylist since 2006. I have followed her to a few different salons in Santa Barbara and Montecito where she worked over the years, until she opened her own salon, 1329 Salon and Spa. I can't say enough about Sammi. She is just outstanding. My hair always looks amazing thanks to her. I have referred her to many of my friends, who have become Sammi's clients over the years, and have loved her services.“

“Mishay is a great salon! I've been seeing Brooke for years and she's an absolute gem besides being a top stylist. Brooke has always done an amazing job coloring my hair, she's a real perfectionist and is one of the sweetest people I know. I would definitely recommend this place for sure!“

“I love Katy! I had a Brow Lamination and a Brow wax and she made my Brows so beautiful !! Katy has the cutest place all decorated in pink. Katy is my go to Brow girl and the sweetest !!“

“Tracy is an expert hair colorist! She always listens to what I want, and knows the colors that work best. She does a great job giving me a beautiful style, while keeping my hair long. Tracy has an amazing way of balancing my desired look while keeping the health of my hair in focus. I highly recommend her!“

“Tina was awesome and sweet. She works alone by appointment and also for walks in too. But be sure to make an appointment or call ahead as she is by herself.“

“I recently received a men's haircut from the owner, who's been in this space for over 20 years. She was friendly, fast, and a true pro. I didn't want a super-short barbershop cut, so I decided to try this salon. She handled things with just a pair of scissors but she quickly got the job done. I'll be back!“

“Keota is a magician. She does wonders to your hair you wouldn’t even believe it was you’re real hair. I was beyond surprised after she showed me the final result. It’s as if you were to go to a salon in beverly hills but 10x better and a whole lot more affordable. She has stories for every occasion and will never keep you bored. If you are looking for any hair service she has perfected it. Keota is so kind so funny and insanely talented. I will never go to another place when it comes to my hair.Service: Balayage“

“Gabbie is truly the best in the business. And not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, professional, & skilled with lashes, but she is just an all around gem of a person. I will never even consider trusting anybody else with my lashes!!“

“Cloud Nine introduced beauty into my life in a whole new way and I've felt better about myself ever since! I initially went for *proper, natural-looking lash extensions (umm, instant game changer!), but have since kept it as my go-to resource for all my skin care needs. Crystal has always been so helpful in guiding me to choose products that fit my needs and ONLY the things that I need - nothing more than that (which feels really good in a world of seemingly unattainable "beauty" that tries to sell you more and more to the point of women looking like their faces have melted!). She's helped me feel truly beautiful and LIVE on Cloud Nine, which has spilled out into every aspect of my life!Services: Eyelash extensions“

“Connie does the absolute best job on my hair every time! I would highly recommend her because of her amazing high quality work, I always walk out of the salon super happy.Services: Haircut“

“Friendly, professional, and really listened to what I wanted even though I didn't know that to CALL it... and the space was clean and peaceful (quiet) without feeling "pretentious".“

“I just walked in without an appointment, I was feeling very insecure about my botched haircut that I got from a previously bad stylist. I walked in without an appointment and she just took me right into a chair, connected with me and listened to my concerns. She basically held my hand for 10 minutes through a bang trim, then taught me how to blow out and style my bangs. She went above and beyond and I am so pleased with her. I will go back anytime I am in Santa Barbara.“
