I am a busy mom now and the 1 hour facial is much needed and heavenly. Makes me feel wonderful & still realizes that I am my own person & still have to take care of myself. So for all the momma's out there I highly suggest to treat yourself with facial at Spa Divino, you will feel great & refresh. I usually see Brenda but due to schedule conflicts I lately been seeing Kim. They are both super nice & have a magic touch that transforms your skin super healthy & glowing. Kim is also great with shaping eyebrows! Look for any of them you will never be disappointed! Also, the shoulder massage that comes with the facial is so amaaaaazing!! Hopefully soon they will offer massage service too!

After they tracked her down I asked her what had happened and she stated "well I decided to stop into the OR and see if they needed anything but you told me today was your day off so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal." Yes, I did mention that it was my day off, but that doesn't mean I want to sit in a stuffy little room staring at half naked women on a tv screen for 25 minutes. In terms of the location it's beautiful and clean inside and the front desk staff was very pleasant, but sometimes all it takes it one bad first impression to ruin what should have been a enjoyable experience.

The precision and attention to detail during the application process were outstanding. My lashes look full, natural, and perfectly customized for me! The entire session was so relaxing--Kathy ensured I was comfortable throughout the process. The environment was clean, calming, and professional. Kathy uses high-quality lashes and adhesive, and I can feel the difference! My lashes are light, soft, and they don't irritate my eyes at all. They've lasted beautifully, and I've had minimal shedding, even two weeks after my appointment. If you're looking for a lash artist who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend Kathy. I've received so many compliments on my lashes, and I can't wait to return for my next appointment!

We just walked in without any appointments and we were treated like guests and not just clients. We were offered snacks, tea, coffee, and fruits which i don't usually experience anywhere. The waiting room looked nice but the only thing that fell short was the list or services offered. It should be printed on pamphlets or leaflets or whatever they call it so we can get a copy. The face massage was heavenly, to the point that i almost fell asleep and i felt relaxed that i had to change our itinerary and not proceed to get a body massage after. They actually have a good package for chemical peel for $399 (i think) because when i had my hubby have his chem. peel i spent around $260 for one session. I recommend this place for facial but make sure you remember the services they offer so you can try it out too. I will definitely come back to this place :-) either for facial or for other services.

I did mention that I was dissatisfied before I paid and was offered a smol credit towards my next visit. I feel terrible writing such an awful review of the place because they are very highly rated (which is why I paid a visit) but I have to speak my truth. And the aim of this is to bring an awareness. I've been going back and forth about leaving a review this whole time. I'm disappointed. I expected more. I'd like to return because I AM impressed by their lineup of services offered/the cleanliness and everyone is friendly. With that being said, why wouldn't they have an exclusive lineup of highly & dynamically trained/skilled nail technicians performing services that will uphold the caliber of business The Beauty Plug aims for, on hand, for walk-ins and appointments alike... especially on weekends. thank u, love u. I received a Gel X Full Set w gel polish + "a design" - which was airbrush ombré with an outlined tip & a Gel Pedicure. - Gel X application glue was left with a lot of space where my natural nail was exposed under the gel x nail. If you know gel x you know what I mean. - Blotchy clear coat; not one nail has a smooth clear application. - Crooked nail application on my thumb. - No blending of the nail extension edges to my natural nail. - No consistency in size and placement of the extension. (Some are further over with my real nail exposed.) - After one week most started lifting from my nail bed. - Another tech had to pull away from her client to do a part of the service mine wasn't educated on. *COMING BACK TO MY DRAFT TO SAY THAT A FRIEND TOLD ME IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD PRESS ONS* I wish I took pictures. But I had to get them thangs off. Those pedicure stations are very aesthetic but not made for luxurious comfort. I asked for her to trim my toe nails during my pedicure and she butchered them so short when she got to filing it started to be painful. Ending to say that I don't think this place is worth avoiding altogether, but I wasn't impressed enough to make it somewhere I frequent for nails because of my experience. Other services of theirs caught my eye too!

The TGF booster and retinol was a game changer. She has such knowledge and curiousity in knowing the products and the science to it that you know you are consulting from someone who knows "skin" very well. Her goal aligns from my goal, which is having to use less make up in the end because you dont need to cover up what you already have: beautiful glowing skin. I went back to try out more products from Le Miuex and had another Brazilian and underarm waxing and felt well taken care of. She just makes it easy breezy and the whole experience of having such a good experience made me feel my time and money was well spent. I am pretty much a repeat customer now and I am so glad her spa is just 5 minutes away from my house. I dont usually do reviews unless i felt it is deserving and i wrote a review on her twice!

She's also just the best at making you feel as comfortable as can be through the process. My mom also got her brows done with her and they are pretty!!!!! Before and after pics below. Of course I'm getting my brows done with her soon! No question!

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.

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.
