Amy’s Skin Care

Amy’s is by far the best place for eyebrow threading in Santa Barbara. I’ve been going to her for facials and threading for over 8 years. Love her!

Amy is fantastic. I’ve been going to her for my eyebrows and waxing for 6 months now and won’t go anywhere else. She does a great job with brow shaping and her hard wax is the best one I’ve tried so far. She is always accommodating and very friendly. Plus you won’t get better prices anywhere else in Santa Barbara.

Amy always does a fantastic job threading my eyebrows. I have tried other places before finding Amy’s Skin Care, but nothing comes close. My brows always look amazing and my skin never breaks out after. Thanks Amy!

I give 100% of my trust to Amy when it comes to doing my eyebrows. I’ve only been here less than a handful of times, but I always leave her place feeling satisfied w/​my brows. I screwed up shaping one of my brows one time and came to Amy, and she managed to fix it up and mirror the shape of my better-​looking brow. Amy is a very nice and approachable lady. Just tell her exactly what you want and she will deliver!
FYI, she threads (or at least the times I’ve been there) rather than waxes brows. Pricing is also decent (~$ 20ish, I think). I pay student pricing instead of regular, but I usually round up to $ 20 anyway to tip her.

I use to be a customer for Dee other eyebrow lady in Santa Barbara, but I can’t stress enough how much more I love Amy. From her work you can tell she’s taking her time to give you a 100% job. I loved my eyebrows and will not switch to Amy. She also gives student discounts minus $ 5:) Amy you just gained a customer but also any future clients from me too. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I really had high hopes considering a nearly perfect rating with Amy for my brows, but I can literally still feel half of my eyebrow follicles tingling and crying from being threaded off…
I took 2 – 4 years growing them out to a healthy size and shape after struggling with extremely sparse and thin brows forever… I knew that it needed cleaning up and a little bit of shaping and thought I could trust her!
I was in shock when she showed me the mirror… ½ to ²⁄₃ of my original size and shape was taken off in 5 minutes! My experience was quite bad and disappointing. I wish there had been more communication in general from her about what she was doing and any little small conversation in general as an introduction. As a first time client she was never like «hi I’m Amy welcome…» She was running behind schedule and maybe that prompted her to rush and not talk, but I literally only heard a few mumbles about an arch and I was like I’ll trust you? It’s never been this thin in my entire life!
Now I’m stuck with these puny eyebrows that make me look extra mean and aren’t even proportional to the rest of my face… Even trying to fill it in with various products to make it seem thicker will look funny since there’s no hair! And another 2+ years of growing… :(
She’s very soft spoken and only asked if I was a student after and that was the extent of the small talk… I was so in shock that my brows had been but butchered! She could have slowly shown me what she was doing on one eyebrow first to see if I had Iiked it before taking off more… And to make it worse it’s uneven :(. I started to break out a bit too where she had threaded.
Be sure to make clear your expectations of what you want or ask her to slowly show you what she’s doing… Or else be extremely upset and lose your precious brows like me

I visited Amy today for the first time and I was absolutely impressed. She was quick and shaped my brows better for my face than anyone who’s ever done my brows. She asked me how I wanted them done and they looked better than I imagined they would.
I asked for shaped brows that have a slight arch and still on the thick side and she did exactly that. She took her time and made my brows beautiful. She paid more attention to the shape than anyone else. Even with all of that I was in and out in under 10 minutes.
It cost a little more than I usually pay but they look much better than I’ve ever had them before.
I’d recommend making an appointment since Amy’s place only has one parking space and she’s the only one I believe doing services there so I don’t think walk ins are possible.
Go to Amy’s and enjoy beautiful brows!

I love love love this place! Everyone on Unilocal was right about her. When I moved to SB, I struggled to find a good threading place that could keep my shape without loosing thickness. I called the same day for an appointment and she was booked but she squeezed me in. She was very gentle and she even filled them in for me which made the shape more defined. I have found my new threading lady and the price is very reasonable compared to other places I’ve been to in Santa Barbara.

I tried Amy due to all the wonderful reviews, and they were correct. She is a lovely person, and did a wonderful job threading my eyebrows. Unlike the reviews, she was quick. I was in the office for 15 minutes. I will go back and recommend to others, and it begins here.

Absolutely amazing! Easy to make an appointment and results were incredible, have been waiting for my eyebrows to finally get that shape I wanted for so long and Amy did it! I couldn’t take my eyes off them, perfect arch and shape!

Amy is fabulous! Her eyebrow threading leaves you with just the right thickness and a lovely arch (a feat in my case since I don’t have much of a natural one). I’m a redhead and have very sensitive skin and her technique is non-​irritating and never causes ingrown hairs or bumps. She’s also friendly and warm. Great all around.

I have been going to Amy for all of my waxing and facial needs. She is awesome! I would certainly recommend her!

Amy is awesome. Her waxing is some of the best I’ve experienced and she is very fast. Her office is clean and low key.

I went to Amy once I started going to school out here. I really like how Amy does eyebrows; she does them a lot like my old eyebrow lady back at home and they’re never too thin. Her shop also smells amazing, I definitely recommend her!
I went to Dee once also and though she’s really nice, she made them too thin and shaped them differently from what I like so I would recommend Amy over Dee!

I never had my eyebrows shaped before so I was a little hesitant but Amy made me feel so comfortable. She knew exactly what she was doing. I LOVED the results, i would definitely recommend this place. She wasted no time either, you will be in and out of there by no time.

Amy is awesome! Came here to try out «threading,» to shape my brows. Amy was really nice, and did a great job for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be going back.

Amy is awesome! I was tired of my other waxing lady… I’d gotten my eyebrows threaded by Amy before and realized that she’d probably do a great brazilian too… And she did!
Amy is extremely patient, friendly and, well, AMAZING! She really does a great job on whatever you’re there for. She consults with you about what you want and does a very thorough job (using different types of wax, going over the areas multiple times, etc). You can tell she cares about how you’ll feel when you leave her place.
Her prices are great and she gives student discounts! $ 12 for eyebrow threading, $ 25 for a full brazilian, and $ 5 for upper lip threading!
Like other reviews say, her place is tough to find if you’ve never been before… it’s opposite Trader Joe’s, in a small building in between Santa Barbara Shade & Screen Co. and Wagner Chiropractic.
I give Amy’s Skin Care a solid five stars and recommend her to everyone!

I trust Amy 100% with my eyebrows. For a Jewish woman with substantial caterpillars that have been getting waxed or threaded since they were thirteen years old, this says a lot.
Amy is an artist. She trims, tweezes, and threads with the touch of a perfectionist; when she’s done, there isn’t a hair out of place.
Her salon is tasteful but modest, and her prices are incredibly reasonable. WIN!

I was able to get an appt w/​Amy relatively quickly. I’ve driven past her location, so I was able to find it ok.
She takes longer than the woman at Spa Concepts, Dee. So I was getting a little worried about what she was doing — was she making them too thin? She definitely takes longer, but she is very meticulous and I thought her pricing was fair. Slightly more expensive than the Bay Area, but then again, I think there are only two women in town who thread! so the market economy prevails.
I walked out, examined my brows again and I love them! She was also able to get the pesky little hairs. Perfect.
She took slightly longer than what I am used to, but she was thorough.
$ 20 for eyebrows.
Dee at Spa Concepts wouldn’t accept a tip which I thought was sweet but I tipped Amy.

I am so glad that I read the below review. Without it, I wouldn’t have found the gem that is Amy’s Skin care! :P
So I called her this afternoon and she fit me in at 5:15 for an eyebrow threading. I expected she would be more difficult to schedule, but she wasn’t. Finding her place was tough, as I’m not familiar with De La Vina street.
Anyways, she took me back into her room and first evaluated by eyebrows. I love that. You know why? Because the only other person in town who threads eyebrows (Dee at Spa Concepts) spends zero time evaluating my eyebrows, and talking to me about the shape I want. Granted, Dee is super fast (usually I’m in and out within 5 minutes), but Amy is methodological, takes her time, and the results show this. :)
I am very happy with my eyebrow shape. I plan to keep going back to Amy.
P. S. Her cost for threading is $ 20 (same as Dee), and she accepts credit cards. Now, go give her a try!
