I tried the Salt Spa massage for the first time & when I called to make the reservation, I told the woman on the phone I didn't have a gender preference of therapists (because I assume if I have a male therapist he will be professional). I arrived and waited in a small room that had salt crystals on the floor and large salt lamps scattered around. Then my therapist Danny arrived and brought me to the massage room. He was a good therapist until he started working on my legs. Both when I was face down and face up, he would move my leg way out to the side for no reason & I didn't feel like the sheet covered me properly at the groin. When I was face up, I had to push the sheet & blanket down several inches because he hadn't draped me properly. I told him I felt exposed. Finally when he worked on my other leg, he did drape me properly but I had already lost trust in him so it kind of ruined the experience.

Very surprised to find this in the middle of State Street! It was incredibly relaxing, the masseuses were awesome, and we are trying to figure out how to do this more often!

My husband and I had a wonderfully relaxing time. The private salt cave massage room added to the experience. I highly recommend booking this room if it’s available. My husband felt his 75 minute deep tissue massage with Danny was performed with exactly the right amount of pressure. My therapist was Daniel, and he too was very attentive. Every motion was done with such incredible care, intention, and precision. Both massage therapists clearly take pride in their work and appreciate their clients. I highly recommend the Salt Cave for anyone looking for rest, relaxation, and therapeutic benefits when visiting the SB area.

I had a combo Swedish and deep tissue massage with Courtney Z on Jan. 9, 2025. It was absolutely amazing~ she did an exceptional job of balancing both modalities. She addressed and treated many of the knots and aches I had which was super helpful. At the same time, I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and a bit lighter. I wish I lived in SB so I could visit the Salt caves and Courtney on a regular basis!! Definitely go and treat yourself~ you will be happy you did.

“Dropped in to use my Groupons on a Saturday and the front desk person was dismissive and rude. Said we could only redeem on a Monday - Friday, and after scouring my Groupon(s), as well as the confirmation, it is nowhere to be found in the fine print. Groupon agreed. I don't live in Santa Barbara, and every time I visit, I drop in to purchase candles. I cancelled my two purchased Groupons, and will not be coming back. Also, turning away customers from an empty store is not a great business practice; and seeing the other reviews and also many of the defensive responses, my experience was true to form. Do better.”Their owner responded to my above review on google that I came to the appointment late and with a dog (which I didn’t bring a dog or even have an appointment), and told their employee to “shut up” (never would I say that). Horrible dishonesty.
