The G Spa

I visit the area occasionally and am so glad I found Julianna as my new esthetician. She gave me a micro and I am so happy with the results. I got compliments after on my skin which made me feel fabulous :) I definitely recommend checking out g spa ! You’ll be glad you did :)

Caring & personal service. From skin care to personal health matters the G Spa is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. I highly recommend.

My first time in… dr. G was patient and darling! She took her time to discuss my concerns and talked about options… At the end. I came out looking better than when I arrived! I’ll be back! Thank you.

At first I was hesitant to go to a spa for my sun damaged skin. I have gone to the G Spa for three facial treatments: botox, facial and laser treatment for sun spots. I love the G Spa. Cate & Christopher are very welcoming at the front desk. Dr. Griffin is very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I have received treatments from both Rose & Diane. I give them both excellent ratings. I did join the 6 month membership and I am glad I did. I am excited that they have monthly specials. The G Spa has definitely become my ‘facial treatment’ home!

I was going to wait until the end, but I’ve been so amazed that now works. I got a groupon for 3 microdermabrasion treatments, but only after I called and asked their office about availability and got information on the treatment. The receptionist SOLD ME! There’s two receptionists and they’re both great! Came in for my first microderm and it was done by JILL. I talked to her about my skin concerns throughout the process and then we switched to life topics. Overall, it felt like I made a new friend. Onto the treatment, I was pinkish but it went away pretty fast. I loved the way my face felt after the first one. Just did my second today and again, she did a great job! Go to her, she makes you feel amazing and you can’t beat her personality. Can’t wait for my last one!

Rosa is the best aesthetician I have ever had the privilege of receiving a treatment from. If you haven’t had a facial with her yet your missing out. She takes so much time and and attention to each clients individual needs and is so knowledgeable skin care. I’ll never go to anyone else!

I have been going to Dr Griffin for several years, seeing her and the G Spa staff for all manner of aesthetic services, Botox, peels, laser treatments, etc. as well as HRT and gyno services. My two adult daughters are also clients of the G Spa, where Dr Griffin was able to help one find relief after suffering years of severe PMS symptoms. All of us have had nothing but positive experiences.
I recently decided to try some facial fillers. After having had them several years before at another Dr’s office and experiencing severe bruising I was hesitant and quite nervous about the procedure. Knowing that I have a tendency to bruise easily, I carefully read all the information about the many types of fillers on the G Spa website, as well as the countless other sources available on the internet, so that I was fully informed about what to expect, and ways to prevent bruising and other side affects. Bruising is always a potential side effect of any facial injections especially fillers. I made sure not to take an type of blood thinning supplements, prescriptions, or over the counter medications. At my appointment Dr Griffin explained the different types of fillers and the best techniques to inject them, side affects to expect, and the areas that I would best benefit from treatment. Dr Griffin took her time making sure I was comfortable, not experiencing pain, and was understanding how and why she was choosing injection sites. I am EXTREMELY happy with the results. I had minimal side effects, which included two small bruises, smaller than a pea, and some slight swelling. I followed the post treatment recommendations, and after two days everything looks great.
I highly recommend the G Spa for aesthetic services, I have been several other places in town and the G Spa has the fullest range of services, the most up to date treatment options, trained and knowledgeable aestheticians, and friendly staff.

I have enjoyed personable, smart and thoughtful care and service at the G Spa for many years. Always ahead of the curve on available treatments for us women of a certain age. I find them very knowledgeable but not pushy at all. I would definitely recommend the G Spa.

PROS: Terrific services, nice product choices and helpful staff. Con: tend to run behind schedule, not a deal breaker for me just be aware when scheduling. Love Dr. Griffin. She is quite skilled and I appreciate one stop services. GYN and spa plus a no muss/​no fuss experience which I really appreciate.

Izabella is very professional, likable, and knowledgeable I felt very well pampered and would totally recommend G Spa.

Posting from iPhone because I am so elated with results!
Monica is maybe the most knowledgeable and passionate aesthetician I’ve met.
Formerly at Bacara and Camille, the young SB native has a background in makeup. She worked with a celebrity makeup artist in LA. Clients included Eva Longoria, Tori Spelling (a year behind me at Westlake School for Girls), and Kate Hudson (of whom I am not a fan but whose makeup and skin always looks stellar).
Dr. Kathleen Griffin, owner of G Spa and a gynecologist, opened this total woman operation (inside and out) in 2004.
It’s a great spot – 33 W Mission – with ample parking and it’s not downtown. That’s a plus in my book.
I was at a wine /​cheese event here to learn about the membership: 100/​month with a 75 sign-​up charge and 6 month minimum is a remarkable deal. Monthly benefits include Venus Freeze, microdermabrasion, various facials and more.
Membership entitles you to a treatment as well as discounts on fillers. Dysport is cheaper here (5 without membership and 3.70 with). That’s half the going rate and cheaper than med spas in ads for ridiculously cheap fillers you see in the LA Weekly and wonder, «Where the hell is that?!»
I’m a WLA snob of course. I know Pasadena and Glendale and East/​West Valley but North Valley and Glendora are terra incognita. And I thought Riverside was in the OC, which I despise except for Laguna.
Having potentially offended a couple million people, let me assure SB and LA people that this spa, while not as visually lush as Evolutions or MAI, is a top notch facility.
They sell product I will likely buy after the samples run out.
Thank you, Groupon. If you buy get 3 for 150, not 1 for 69.
So happy.

Yes, this is a media-​spa but Dr. Griffith is also a wonderful asset to those who have Menopause related ailments. Everyone in the office is talented, kind and knowledgeable. Thanks for helping me get my thyroid and other annoyances under control!

Came here to get a microderm and they were amazing. Very nice, helpful and informative. It was my first time and they made me feel nice and relaxed. They also have tons of other things they offer that I plan on looking into. I’ll definitely be back.

I think Dr. Griffin is the best of what a doctor should be: informed, kind, caring and smart as all get out! I consider her my primary care physician and recommend her to all my friends. She is honest and thoughtful and should be cloned!
