I have visited a couple of times in the morning for a that and have always been happy with my massage. I went during the afternoon and requested the Same massage, Thai combo. The masseuse was simply rubbing oil on me no pressure. She even stated I had a lot of tension but still did not apply pressure. I asked for a bit more pressure which she said "this Thai combo" than she began to use her elbows and at certain times it felt as if she was trying to hurt me but it actually felt good since it's what I needed :) when I went to pay she communicated with the young lady at the front desk I which she stated it was 90. I asked why she said because I requested deep tissue I explained I simply wanted some type of pressure. She explained their Thai combo is simply rubbing oil. I was a bit confused but regardless paid the 90. Lesson learned to visit in the morning when the other masseuses are there.

Been looking all over San Diego for a massage place and I can come back to time and time again and…read moreI can confidently say that I have found it, SPECIFICALLY with a certain masseuse, Sandy. Today was my appointment with her and she is such good energy, loves her job, and has a positive attitude. Some people like to relax during their massage with no talking to fall asleep, but with the pressure I like for mine, it'd be impossible to sleep. This allowed me to have a conversation with her throughout and allowed me to get to know her. She's extremely knowledgeable and her expertise shows. I was tight around my neck, shoulders, and back and she knew exactly how to take care of me from the first touch. It's always good to have a go to person for something and I can proudly say that she will be my go to from here on out! I highly recommend and the prices are great too! Make sure to tip your masseuses well because they work hard to take care of your body.

I had an appointment today (4/19) with Eva. That was not the worst massage I had, but it was pretty…read moredarn close. 1. I had airón my right heel about 7 mos ago and I told her about it before we began the massage. A few minutes into the massage, she applied waaaaaay too much pressure to my foot. So much so that I had to pull away from her. She said she forgot about my wound and apologized. I wasn't hurting too bad, so I let it slide. 2. Also prior to beginning the massage I specifically asked her to stretch my hip flexor on my left leg (over compensation from surgery on other foot). Ask me how much time she put toward what I specifically went in for...0 minutes! She was a very nice lady and I felt bad so I didn't complain, but I will never go here again and I'll tell everyone I know not to either. Honestly, the language barrier was the biggest issue. I speak 3 languages, just not hers. The least this place can do is invest in a translation app for all of their non-English speaking techs. If any one from management cares (doubt it) feel free to call me. I had the 7pm appointment on Sunday 4/19.

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.

We both enjoyed our time! Parking: They have their own parking lot, though it's a bit smaller. We booked on a Saturday appointment at 12pm and there were only a few spots left. They only have one entrance, so they don't connect from the main parking lot behind-- just a heads up. Price: $100 for 90 minutes or $95 if cash-- which is a great price. We signed up for the $10 discount for first timers and put the code in when we booked online. But upon check in, they told us that the code only works for Monday-Thursday, which was disappointing since that wasn't listed anywhere on their website nor was it mentioned when we booked. Experience: We were in a couples room and there seemed to be a handful of rooms available. Shout out to Polly and Sara for being our therapists! They did a great job and they really dug in my problem areas. I enjoy medium to hard pressure and Polly delivered. What stood out to me the most was that after being on our back, they put Peppermint essential oil on our neck and shoulder, which felt amazing! At any other massages, my sinuses are usually so stuffy when I flip on my back but the essential oil cleared everything up. I'd like to point out however that the walls are very thin. So when people walked down the hall, you can hear them talking. Afterwards, they served tea and water. Overall: We enjoyed our first time getting Thai massage and we'd consider coming back again!
