I wish there was a zero star option. I’m a local resident, I have shopped at this store about 20 times. I have also brought friends and family to shop here. First, off if you aren’t prepared to spend at least $200 here, you will be treated like garbage. I picked up a
Few items, 4 to exact, One lotion, one body butter, and one body scrub. The total $177.38. Hahahahahaha. I put back the candle and the body scrub, the lady who was working there, was very exasperated and seemed offended when I requested to have them taken off the bill. Additionally, I was a little disturbed when this happened. One of the vendors who sells in the store, she makes the grapeseed products. She and her daughter had come in , to do the “scent bar”. She was having a casual conversation with the woman who was working at the store. The vendor, started talking about how everyone in her family was quite ill, and the reason daughter was with her, was because she was not allowed at school due to her illness. I was very surprised that she was speaking so openly about how everyone oh her home was quite ill, and her daughter was very sick, but there they both were in the store servicing products that people wear on their body. They didn’t have gloves on, and they were servicing the essential oils, lotions, candles etc. she then ran down the list of about 10 places they would be going to, later on in the day to work as well. I’m furious at the quality of the products. The body butter that I purchased, has big chunks in it. I don’t use body butter often, so I thought that possibly this is just how the consistency of it is supposed to be. I wasn’t concerned until I went through it a little more and found black chunks. also it was clear, when I opened it, that it has probably been used as a tester. Additionally, the lotion that I bought has the consistency of water. The bottle that it came in, is probably the cheapest bottle I’ve ever dealt with. It doesn’t work properly. The lotion is essentially impossible to use as it’s basically water. Very dissatisfied. I’ve bought better lotion at the $.99 Store. The price point on these products Is laughable, especially considering the quality of items. The quality of the items so poor. I wouldn’t be surprised if, these items were from the 99 Cents store, and she was simply filling bottles with “grapeseed” labels on them. I’ve use this lotion for a couple years now, and it hasn’t always been this bad, but it has gotten significantly worse.

I am on mobile dog groomer. And we use othere good shampoo for our dogs but I tried the dog wash and conditioner for my dogs at home and noticed a big difference when I used Seaside products. My one older dog who has skin issues while I've tried other products Seaside makers of their dog wash and conditioner made a big difference in my dogs skin issues went away the hair after I wash is so clean. Since then it's the only product I use. So thank you Seaside makers for making the best dog shampoo and conditioner. From one happy customer

Horrible Customer Service. My friend and I came in here to look around- we're teenagers and she lives in Carp and likes candles. We were not being loud or out of line as far as I can tell in the store- she smelled some of the tester candles but we didn't touch a whole lot, we didn't ruin anything. My friend said hello to the store clerk, who did not respond.
In the back they have little kid clothes, and my friend jokingly put on a knit hat- more set it on her head so she wouldn't stretch it out. The clerk came over and told my friend that she needed to take it off, then cut in front of me and called us a "bunch of idiots". I asked my friend to leave the store immediately.
I do not blame the clerk for asking my friend to take off the hat- she was being careful, but I can understand the clerk's concern. But calling any potential client an idiot when they were joking around is rude and uncalled for. Will never be going back.

From my experience, Everyone one there is super nice and helpful. Nicole the girl who works there is super nice and friendly. The store is beautiful and well organized, also the owner is really nice. Would recommend going in there all their things are made by makers who are local to Santa Barbara. Everything in there is awesome!

You’ll need to redefine polite. There’s much better products and services around town.
