I am beyond satisfied with the service provided by crystal. She did an amazing job on my facial. Very good communication she informed me of each product that was used. She's very knowledgeable and friendly. I had done a back facial and hydration facial with crystal, they both were very professional and made me feel comfortable. Crystal asked me different kinds of questions to accurately categorize my skin type and which products will help me with my acne. Will def be back. Crystal took care of all my needs, her hands are healing! Felt relaxed the entire time. The hot towels were my favorite addition. Once again thank you crystal. S, I would recommend you to all my friends and family:) read more

Loved being here!I used to frequently go to another Cosmetology school in San Diego to get my hair done, but I decided to try something new when I visited Bellus. I was immediately greeted by Christabel, who is such a sweet and genuine employee and she was so helpful and informative, I felt really heard and she helped me learn more about the VIP program and I was hooked! I had my hair done by Danella who is so friendly and she listened really intently on the transformation I wanted to see in my hairstyle. She was so patient and flexible and she really gave 110% effort during the entire service I definitely recommended asking for her if you choose to stop by. Bellus is definitely stepping up the game in the world of cosmetology and I'm so happy I found them! read more

London and April are the best. They took good care of me last week. I have relaxed hair and got deep conditioning and flat iron

just to let everyone know, bellus academy does not offer gloss. apparently, it is "only for people with highlights".

I got a facial done by Jade and my face feels so hydrated and refreshed! I don't get facials too often but while Jade was giving me a facial I felt very relaxed and at peace. She explained to me what she was doing in each step and that made me feel confident in what she was doing. She took her time and went slow and that also gives me the confidence she cares about what she does. Overall I would give her a 9.5/10 and I am highly satisfied! Thank you! read more
