Wow... This was my first time at Luxe & Leaf Aesthetics and I'm blown away. Adelina greeted me with…read morethe warmest smile and made me feel comfortable right away. She's professional, knowledgeable, and so gentle with her touch. The glow she brought out in my skin honestly took years off my face.

From the moment I walk in, the atmosphere feels serene and welcoming--soft music, calming scents, and a clean, beautiful space that instantly put me at ease. Adelina is incredibly gentle, caring, and knowledgeable -- every visit feels like a relaxing escape. I always look forward to my next appointment! I also get my lash lifts at Luxe and Leaf. My lashes look longer, and perfectly curled from the root, almost like I was wearing mascara--but completely natural. The lift instantly made my eyes look brighter and more open, and I honestly didn't realize how much of a difference it could make until I saw the results. My husband recently had his skin tags removed at Luxe and Leaf. It was an easy and simple process. It's been a couple of weeks since the removal, and the results are great. The areas healed quickly with minimal redness, and he's happy to not have to deal with the irritation that the skin tags were causing before. He has a huge boost of confidence to have them gone. All treatments were amazing, and I'll definitely be making this part of my regular self-care routine. I'm thankful to have Adelina in my life.

My friend referred me to Aby and I'm so glad I followed her recommendation! Aby is very skilled and knowledgeable with skincare. She knows exactly what my skin needs and she always delivers! Unlike the others, Aby never pressures her clients to buy products and is always willing to give skincare advice. I always come out of her studio looking refreshed and glowing. On top of that, she's also very nice and friendly. I usually get intimidated when I go to aesthetic salons/spas but, the moment I met Aby, I felt so comfortable and at ease right away. She also does promos from time to time. I feel like her services are all reasonably priced. I highly recommend!

I've been trying to do something nice for myself once a month and Balensi spa kept showing up on my…read moreinstagram page lol. I scheduled myself a facial as they were booked months out for a massage on a Saturday, the only day I'm able to come in. When I was arrived , parking across the street was available and cheap. I believe I paid $1? I was offered water, tea or a mimosa while I waited on the patio which was lush with plants, my vibe for sure! My esti was Evelyn and she was very kind and knowledgeable. She did a quick consultation and then the facial began. I've had lots of facials from when I used to work in spas and this facial was in my top 3! The attention th detail for the extractions was great! My skin actually felt clean. Evelyn suggested a different facial from the one I originally booked and said it would be a better option for my skin. She's the expert so I agreed. We also added on the red light therapy. My skin had no problems with the facial, in fact, my skin felt so hydrated and it was so glowy afterwards! Evelyn's face massage technique was very relaxing, especially around the eye area. Unfortunately the facial had to end, but I already knew I would return. One thing I really appreciated was after the facial, there was no membership pitching or product pushing. It's annoying and really uncomfortable to be bombarded with a pitch after a relaxing service. They do have a membership which I am considering doing, but the only thing holding me back is lack of availability on Saturdays for massages. I also don't live close by which is why I need Saturday availability. But then again, the membership price is totally reasonable compared to other "envy" places. I'm sure I could make it work. Overall, I really enjoyed my facial at Balensi spa and I'd definitely recommend to all.

Balensia Spa has officially become one of my go-to date night spots with my wife. There's just…read moresomething different about taking care of your skin and your marriage at the same time We usually come in for microdermabrasion facials, and every time we leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and glowing (yes... even me lol). I had Ariah, and she is AMAZING. She has this way of instantly putting you at ease super calming presence. What I really appreciate is how she walks you through everything she's about to do, so you're never caught off guard. And if you're like me and just want to zone out, she respects that too no unnecessary talking unless you've got questions. That's elite service right there. The whole spa itself is a vibe. Clean, peaceful, and genuinely relaxing. You can tell they care about the experience from start to finish. I believe it's locally owned, which makes me want to support them even more. The staff is always friendly and professional every single time we come in. They also offer massages and have a hot sauna you can use, which is perfect if you want to come early and just unwind before your appointment. It's like a full reset button. If you're in Chula Vista and looking for a spot to treat yourself (or plan a solid date night), I highly recommend Balensia Spa. Trust me... your skin and your spouse will thank you.

This was my first visit to Honest Skin in and I could not have asked for a better experience. Abri was so sweet and easy to talk to -- I felt completely comfortable from the moment I walked in. She truly knows esthetics inside and out. She took the time to educate me on my skin and walk me through which products would actually work for my specific needs, which I appreciated so much more than a generic routine. Abri was just genuinely fantastic; knowledgeable, warm, and super easy to vibe with. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a facialist who actually cares. I'll definitely be back!

I had my first facial here about a month ago. I was super excited because I had read the reviews…read morebeforehand and every one was amazing! I'll just share a few things about my experience here: 1. I firstly want to say that my facial was nice! It was relaxing, my skin didn't have any weird reactions, the studio was clean, everyone was super nice, and my skin looked great afterward. This is my first facial so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I would say I had a good experience. 2. Something I didn't love, however, was that I felt like I was being advertised to throughout my facial. I understand that they want to sell their products, but I didn't love that when I asked about alternatives that I could purchase from other places, I was told that nothing else was good enough and everything else had lesser quality ingredients, which I know isn't true. I didn't like feeling like I was being told their lines were the only "good" options. 3. Along the same lines, at the end of my treatment I was immediately asked to schedule my next facial. I felt put on the spot so I scheduled it, but didn't feel entirely comfortable with how pushy that part was. I ended up canceling it later. 4. I also wish each step of the facial had been explained to me as it happed, since this was my first facial and I didn't know what to expect. I did ask for that at the beginning but I think they forgot. It isn't a big deal, but without a heads up, some steps were a little jarring sometimes. My bottom line is that I think the facial was nice and I think my skin looks better because of it, but because of the other parts of the experience that felt a little uncomfortable, I'm going to try out another place for my next facial before returning.

I live in North Park and found Peel Simply Skin after noticing their sidewalk sign. I figured I'd…read moregive it a shot, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made for my body. Julie is incredibly professional and takes the time to understand exactly what's bothering you before she even starts. We talked through the areas where I was dealing with chronic tension and pain, and she explained how she'd approach the session. The massage was exactly what I needed. She worked out knots and tight muscles that have been bothering me for a long time, but somehow managed to keep the entire experience relaxing from beginning to end. Great pressure, amazing technique, and a smooth flow that never felt choppy or clinical. I signed up for the monthly membership before I left because it honestly offers a lot for the price. The gratuity is already included, you get a complimentary enhancement every month, and seeing the same therapist regularly just makes sense if you're serious about feeling better. I also asked about using my HSA. While they're still looking into accepting HSA payments directly, they were more than happy to provide a detailed invoice for reimbursement, and I appreciated that the owner immediately started researching it after I asked. Julie only sees a handful of clients each day so she can give everyone her full attention. Do yourself a favor and book ahead because I don't think openings will last long. If you're a first time massage client, you'll also get 15% off your first appointment. Highly recommend.
