“Such a hidden gem! I had an amazing facial done by Kindred, thank you!! Very relaxing. The products used smelled good and felt good. Loved that she spent time on extractions. My skin was very happy after. Staff was friendly. Super easy to book online. Easy to get to, parking out front. Very clean inside. Can’t wait to come back!”

“This was the absolute best massage I have ever had! I’m a big lady but she made me feel held and safe and did an absolute amazing job. I don’t live near Santa Cruz but I would drive from Fresno just to experience that again. The best! Rebecca can I take you home?”

“I booked a deep tissue massage at Santa Cruz Spa with Adrian, and it honestly exceeded every expectation. I get massages pretty regularly (refuge, Monterey plaza etc), and this was one of the best I’ve had. Adrian had that perfect balance of pressure—strong enough to actually make a difference, but never crossing the line. He checked in a couple times withou…”

Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie.
GlowRanked Verified is a separate service, and a different question. It reads what the public record cannot see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. The owner submits those documents and a person reads them. It is not part of what I checked on this page and it does not change it.
So — this is a records check, and it can be withdrawn when a record changes. It is not a judgement about the care in the room. Ask the questions below before you book.
What to ask before you book.
- 01
Who’s the medical director?
California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.
- 02
Who is actually injecting me?
RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.
- 03
What product brand and concentration?
Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.
None of these three is part of my screen — I have no way to see a licence from the public record. All three are on you to ask, and if they fumble any of them, that’s your sign.

This spa cleared all three website checks: a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. I report them here; since 2026-09-01 they do not decide the mark, because a spa's own website is not a public record.

I checked the state's licence file, the federal provider registry, the Medical Board's public record, this spa's own website and Google's listing — the lines above say which came back with a record, which came back empty and which I have not read — and I do not rate this spa or recommend it.
