5Glorious Stars for Eliza, 0 Regretful Stars for Jen -- An Emotional Rollercoaster of Pores and Pressure Let me take you on a journey. A journey that begins with radiant joy and ends with me side-eyeing my own butt in a full-length mirror, wondering what just happened. I booked the 80-minute facial with diamond exfoliation and let me tell you -- this was no ordinary facial. This was the facial of the gods. Eliza is not just an esthetician, she is a skincare sorceress, a glow guru, a pore whisperer. I walked in looking like I hadn't slept since 2012 and walked out shining brighter than my ex's bald spot under club lighting. My face felt smoother than a baby dolphin doing Pilates. Decadent is an understatement. I felt RICH. I felt RENEWED. Eliza, you are an angel sent from the skincare heavens and I am sending my besties to you ASAP. Now... onto the tragic subplot of this tale: the massage. I got a 50-minute deep tissue massage from Jen, which turned out to be 50 minutes of confusion, irritation, and emotional upselling. Deep tissue? More like deep disappointment. I asked her to focus on my shoulders, but she seemed determined to explore every other region of my body except the one I mentioned. And then came the upsells. Oh Lord, the upsells. Jen tried to sell me on everything short of a full-blown spiritual cleanse. The highlight -- or lowlight? -- was when she suggested Lipo Cupping because she noticed some cellulite on my buttocks and legs. Ma'am. I came here to relax, not to be emotionally assaulted by the ghost of bikini seasons past. I didn't ask for this kind of honesty. I wanted essential oils and vague affirmations -- not cellulite diagnostics. In summary: Facial with Eliza: 11/10. Worth selling a kidney for. Massage with Jen: No stars. I left with tight shoulders and a bruised ego. Would I return? Yes, but only if Eliza promises to spiritually cleanse me with her magical diamond wand and pretend she sees nothing but smooth, untroubled skin on every inch of my body. You win some, you lose some -- but at least my face is thriving. read more

I have been seeing Jen for acupuncture and massage for about 7 years. She is so skilled and caring. There are a variety of treatments offered and the monthly specials are great! The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming. Sente Bella is an oasis in the heart of downtown San Diego! read more

Jennifer Walker is truly amazing at what she does!! Not only are her hands magical but her knowledge and experience is vast. With all of that, she healed me! Wasn't able to take a step without wincing in pain and after a couple of sessions with Jennifer, I was able to get back to life, pain free. Invaluable! Grateful to know her read more

I left a poor review about a month ago for Sente Bella. Within 18 hours, Erin, the owner gave me a call to inquire further about my poor experience. She was SUPER knowledgeable about Semiglutide and walked through my experience with me. She explained that they may have "erred in caution " to keep me safe, but was ready to get a bit more progressive with my dose because of my body's tolerance . I appreciated her call, expertise, and willingness to make the experience good for me. She has a beautiful med spa, and I could see that she takes great pride in making sure it runs smoothly with great experiences for her clients! I have continued on the Semiglutide regimen, it IS working, and have lost about 20lbs in two months! Thank you Erin and Sente Bella read more

- street parking, come early to find some. They do have a disabled parking in front which can be convenient. -love the decor from the outside to the inside. I got a facial with Aliza and I added on a Botox mask afterwards. Hands down one of the best facias I have EVER had! You get a facial cleanser, face massage. Then you get a arm/hand massage, and a chest, neck massage. It was AMAZING. The extractions are done with a vibrating tool that were not that painful. My last facial done elsewhere, used her hands to extract my pores and it hurt so bad that my eyes were tearing up. Aliza was very aware and kept asking me throughout the time how I was doing. After extractions she did a clay mask and then the add on Botox mask. When I was done, I was greeted with a tea or water when I came out. I love the little touches that make you feel pampered. I can't recommend this place enough. They have so much to offer and I can't wait to come back to try their massages. read more

Jen is fabulous, I've been going to her for years to help with back issues. Always a great experience, and this year she knocked out my post surgery frozen shoulder with massage and cupping. read more

Been going here for almost 2 years & I have had nothing but great experiences. Just got another hydrafacial done by Eliza today! She's AMAZING. Takes her time and really wants to make sure customizes the facial to fit my skin needs. When she does extractions... she gets it ALLL! My blackheads and literally all gone! She really gets in there! Lol I also love that she doesn't try to push products on me or anything. I've been to other estheticians at other businesses that were really pushy on products. No thanks! Anyways, if your going for any facials I would definitely recommend Eliza! She's the best! For Botox- I get it done by Nicole. She is outstanding! Very chill and honestly the best I've ever had. I've been to ALOT of different nurses for Botox and I can honestly say Nicole is my favorite. She doesn't push more units or fillers and is very good at what she does! Front desk girls are nice too. The place is very clean and they always ask if I want tea or water Overall a great experience! read more

I came here June 15th for 42 units of botox, not my 1st time having it and I already need a touch up less than 9 weeks later. I've been calling the spa since Monday (today is Thurs) and nobody answers the phone, left messages, emailed, no response. I even signed up for the membership for $89 a month, and can't even get anyone to respond to me. So now I guess I have to dispute my cc charges with the bank. I would recommend avoiding this place as botox wearing off after 9 weeks isn't cool, and neither is their lack of customer service. read more

I came here for the first time for a mommy relaxation day . I had a relaxation massage and a classic facial. I'll explain how wonderful both these services were but first let me tell you how gorgeous the space is! When you walk in the place is set up beautifully and just feels clean. They have taken all the steps necessary for Covid Precautions as well. The front desk ladies were both super sweet and helpful. 60 min Relaxation Massage: Prior to receiving your massage you fill out a quick survey to let the masseuse know if there are any issues or areas you'd like focused on. My masseuse Jen was very knowledgeable and really cared about addressing all the issues I had indicated. Im very much into natural holistic healing methods and was happy she shared the same interests. Overall, my body felt great after the massage and I left with an array of information I needed to continue massage techniques at home as well. 60 min Classic Facial: Prior to the facial you're also required to fill out a quick survey on your needs for the service. I did just that and my Esthetician Eliza was very helpful in addressing anything I had indicated. Facial was amazing and I think the combination of the two services actually put me to sleep for a few seconds! Lol. Since this was my first time here I wanted to try just a classic facial but I'm coming back for the Hydrafacial for sure. Overall my face and body glowed from the inside out. I love the staff, the welcoming, clean environment, and all the products used. read more

I have been coming to the spa for years. I really love the beautiful environment. It's clean. It's lovely. It's glamorous the front desk staff are always really polite and sweet to me. The parking in the neighborhood is pretty much easy. I would trust no one in this world more than Nicole to do my Botox. She never tries to sell me more than what I actually need, and she does such a good job with placement that I never have an overdone look. And sometimes, when I want to overdo it with filler, she assures me that I would look crazy if I overdid it and suggest something else. For that, I am grateful, because I don't look ever overdone or overfilled or looking like I made of plastic! It's really important to trust the people who work on your face, it's the most important thing! read more

I've had nothing but a great experience from Sente Bella from beginning to end.  From the front desk greeting and asking if they could get me some water to my lovely medical nurse Nicole.  Everyone is extremely professional and friendly! Also, they always send out great monthly specials!! read more

There are so many wonderful services Sente Bella offers. For the past year, I have been seeing Jen for acupuncture and lymphatic massage. Cannot recommend enough. I had never done acupuncture before working with Jen, and it has changed everything. I've been hiking a bit, and we tried cupping yesterday. Unbelievable. Zero soreness hiking today, and I hit my best trial times! If you are thinking about visiting here, just do it. You won't regret it. read more

I had the most disappointing message from Jen. she immediately tried to up sale me before starting. I ordered a special message but she said it was a basic Swedish message. She used an annoying pressing into my back method and when I ask her to instead do it the normal way she told me I was not knowledgeable about that method. REALLY I just wanted a relaxing message and yes a Swedish message would be fine. Her attitude was awfu. read more

Jen did a good job! At check out they did not show me my bill and it does not match what I thought it would be - I pre-paid for a custom massage for $155 - 80 min. Jen said she usually does hot stones with my massage but I thought it would be too warm for me so we did aromatherapy- no price difference mentioned or even alluded too- it was on the same level of do you want a pillow and to start on your front or back. At the end the person who checked me out told me my total price and asked if I wanted to add a tip- a % or total bill amount? My bill was $225 and I said make it $260. No signature This is what I got: Base massage: Thought$155 Actually $180 Aromatherapy: Thought included Actually $45 Tip: Intended $35 Actual $60- Total- $285 It looks like I ended up getting a version of your SB signature massage which is $159. I would like my bill to reflect that price. I do not want to take $ away from Jen so I will leave the tip misunderstanding alone if you can correct my bill: $159+60= 219 a $66 refund Please respond with your decision. Thank you ! I contacted the med spa 1st before posting this. No reply after being assured they received it. read more

Went here for a consult last Friday afternoon and had a great experience both with the front desk staff and the Nurse Nicole. She took the time to educate me on everything. The best part is she didn't try to sell me on anything. I went in suggesting I get a particular service and she told me I didn't need it. Can't beat honesty and ethics. I would go back based on that alone. Appreciate the service. - Lila read more

Nicole is amazing, I have been coming to this spa for years now and recommend several of my friends. Always ontime and professional.

First of all, this place is gorgeous. I wanted to like it. They have amazing looking packages that I was going to sign myself up for depending on how treatment went. I left unhappy. A week later, I'm still unhappy. Enough so to write a review. I made the appointment online as I arrived into town once the place was closed. I had a giant unicorn of a cystic acne lesion right in the middle of my forehead and I wanted it gone. It was a special weekend for me! I made an appointment for a facial thinking they would tell me what I needed when I got there. When I saw the esthetician I told her the purpose of my visit and all I cared about was making it look better. She upsells me to get microdermabrasion. Cool. Whatever gets this thing off me. The facial was nice. The esthetician was very pleasant. However, she doesn't tell me that she can't do anything for me until the facial was nearly over. She can't even do any extractions. Why not tell me this before we started and recommend a different treatment. I still would of tipped her! I leave with an angrier looking horn. My skin otherwise looks the same. I'm annoyed that this cost $170 for no results and felt duped. On the way out they tried to sell me some products. No thanks. Left feeling like a idiot. Wish I never went here. read more

I went in today for an oxygen facial. It was truly a waste of money and it was not relaxing. 90% of the time the esthetician just rubbed on my upper arms. When it was over I product caked all over my face and neck. I had to take one of the towels in the room and wipe my face down. I was still cleaning dried up product from my hairline and chest for the next 20 min after I left. I have had many facials in my 39 years and I understand that at times they massage to let product sit on your skin, but this was not that. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The woman at the front desk was very pleasant and I did appreciate her attitude. read more

Today I had the pleasure of getting my first acupuncture/ massage/ healing from Jen Walker and facial from Eliza Morales. Both were very professional, sweet, and outgoing as well and made me feel comfortable as I didn't really know what to expect. The aromas from both rooms were also so calming and soothing. Definitely helped with the overall experience! Eliza's facial package was amazing. It included steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, and a face massage! My skin feels brand new and looks magnificent. She was very helpful in describing and recommending the products that she was using on me. I feel like my face is brand new and glowing. I cant wait to schedule my next monthly appointment! Jens great energy was healing and helped me throughout the whole process. She helped me diagnose trouble spots in my body that I would have never noticed or seen before. The outcome. I feel amazing and refreshed. My whole body feels rebalanced and whole again. Jen helped restore the flow of positive energy throughout my body and helped to remove negative energy that was causing my pain. Will I return? Absolutely, I just booked my return visit for next week! read more

Eliza took amazing care of me when I came in for a facial. She gave me an incredible pumpkin enzyme treatment, hydro facial, and derma plane experience. She was gentle and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way! I would recommend her services to anyone looking to feel hydrated and refreshed! read more

Had a Hydrafacial with Eliza and my skin looks the best it ever has in a LONG TIME!! My boyfriend got a body contouring treatment and we both loved it. Will definitely be returning. read more

I visited Sente Bella this week for a custom facial and lip injections. My facial by Eliza was amazing. She did a mask, oxygen facial, and some extractions to get rid of my acne. My skin felt so good afterwards and my acne is definitely starting to clear up! Today, I got lip injections with a couple girls from Nicole. Nicole clearly knows what she's doing! She's so sweet, made us all feel so comfortable and recommended what was best for each of us. Anne their Salon Manager checked us out and she was so lovely as well! All around beautiful Med Spa, very educated staff and so friendly. I will definitely be coming back here and would recommend it to anyone in the San Diego area! read more

I wish I took a before and after! I have truly never liked the way I look after my botox for 5 years. I am always over frozen and my eyebrows go weird places or I am not frozen enough. I was recommended to see Nicole RN. Game changer! She was so smart, experienced and really listened to what I want. I have NEVER been happier with my botox! I got exactly what I've been wanting after just one visit with her. I will only be going to Nicole in my future and highly recommend Nicole and Sente Bella. read more

Great staff and services. Full range of services. Wide choice of messages and facials. Great laser treatments.

I've been coming to Sente Bella Med Spa for over 5 years now and they are the best Spa in the San Diego greater area. I've been going to Nicole for all of my medical needs and also have had many facials and I always walk away happy. The salon is very clean and a lot of attention is given to customer service with each and every client. Additionally they have amazing specials every month and their pricing is very good for the services they offer. There is literally no where else I would trust my face with other then Sente Bella. Their owners are amazing too and often you'll see them there, they take a LOT of pride in their salon and it makes me happy to see owners super involved like they are. So if you're in San Diego do yourself a favor and check them out! read more

Every time I go in to Senta bella the ladies are always so sweet and caring! I've had botox and lip injections done by Nicole several times and i'm addicted.. I've never felt so confident in my lips until now! Thank you so much!

About 6 months ago I got a Groupon to get laser hair removal done on one large area and one small. I had laser done when I was a teenager, but I was a wimp and didn't do it strong enough to make much difference. The technology has gotten way better, it seems to provide better results and less pain. I was so blown away but the results I saw after just 1 treatment that I signed up for their $99 membership and now I can do ANY 2 additional areas every month on top of the two areas with my Groupon. The membership is awesome because you can pick two larger areas, a large and a small, whatever you want. I've been doing my under arms, upper lip, and upper and lower legs. I'm 5 treatments in and think I'm close to being done (they say, and I've read, the average is around 6-8 treatments wherever you go). I will be keeping my membership and addressing some other areas as well when I'm done with these initial areas. My boyfriend has been impressed and is considering trying it for his neck/upper back as well (I'll be getting him a membership). The staff has always been very nice and helpful. There has only been one time where I had trouble reaching them on the phone, and as someone who has worked in an office, I know there are days like that. Other than that one day, I always reach someone when I call, they are very nice and professional, answer all of my questions and make the whole experience easy and pleasant. If you are interested in hair removal, I highly recommend this location and becoming a member! read more

I received lip fillers and a lip flip from Sente Bella and I could not be happier! Both ladies at the front desk (Ally is one) are incredibly sweet and informative. They are so organized and thorough. Justin filled my lips and he was extremely precise and treated my face like it was a piece of art. I will never go anywhere else! This place has my full trust! read more

Okay so this is my very first yelp because I am just the BIGGEST fan of Martina ever... I visit SD from Los Angeles around 4 x/ year and other times want to drive down JUST TO SEE MARTINA (like right at this moment) She is the most amazing masseuse (sp?) in the entire world... and I spa everywhere in the US (La Costa, NYC crazy Russian bathhouse guy, Bacara in Santa Barbara, Korean bathhouse in LA K-town, ) and the world (Europe, Asia, Las Ventanas in Cabo, Miraj Hammam in Vancouver, Canada, Amsterdam)... you get the point Martina is truly the best. The facilities themselves aren't anything to scream at (no steam room or sauna) but try a massage from Martina! worth a drive from LA to SD!!! read more

Absolutely great massages. Jessica was very good and adjusted pressure accordingly My wax therapist was not quite as pleasant but the wax was well done. Overall everyone except the reception list was extremely pleasant and friendly...borderline so-nice-it's-fake-but-I'll-take-it. Negatives: no facilities, no showers, etc to wash off after your service. Pros: takes spafinder gift cards and the friendly service read more

These people do not answer their phone and if they do they put you on hold for 15 minutes and never come back. I came here for a Botox treatment and it was not very good because all of the areas treated still have movement. I asked for a call back. I never received one and then I called and was placed on hold for 15 minutes until I finally gave up. Avoid this place. I am now going to either have to deal with the results or maybe they will make this right. read more

Nicole is the best :) she did my Botox and juvederm lip filler! Eliza is also amazing I look forward to my monthly hydra facials! Jen is the best massage therapist out there! All around a wonderful place to be! read more

The Hydrofacial lasted less than 5 minutes and cost $200+. No mask, no facial massage, no relaxing. Given this price, I shouldn't have to pay for "add ons" to the service. I am giving 2 stars because my aesthetician was friendly. Incidentally, there was no difference in my skin, I looked the same as when I walked in. read more

This place is the BEST! I absolutely love it, I have been getting my Botox and lip filler done here and I am always so pleased with the results! Ally was extremely helpful when I was booking my appointment and was really informative about what to expect, I was kinda nervous to get Botox done and wanted to make sure it looked natural. The customer service was awesome and I am super happy with the experience there and how everything turned out! I will for sure be back read more

This spa is a gem!!!!! I'm a makeup artist so I have to wear makeup everyday. Even thou, I have a very strict skincare regimen, I would still have some congestion and breakouts on my skin. Until I met Chrisitna Garcia! She is absolutely AMAZING! I've been getting facials from her for about 6 months and my skin has never looked better! She's is very knowledgable, professional and pays close attention to detail. Based on my experience and the amazing results that I've seen on my skin, I've recommended her to all of my clients, family and friends. Thank you Christina for keeping me youthful and pretty! read more

Can't say enough good things about this spa in Downtown San Diego. I recently got a Hydrafacial plus treatment and let me tell you, it was one of the best self care days I've had in a long time. The plus treatment option is a little more than just a Hydrafacial itself, and it is worth every penny. My face is so clean, smooth, bright, and glowing after that treatment. Can't wait to come back for more. read more

I wanted a "tidy up" and Nicole did a brilliant job on my face. It's now a week ago, and my "angry" line has all but gone, my eyebrows are back where they once were, my lips look great, and my face fuller and fresher. Added to which, Nicole was lovely, professional, and fast. I can't recommend this spa enough! read more

Update : since I was able to reach someone, coming in has been easy as could be. Everyone is very friendly and nice. I just signed up for a membership so I'm excited to see how that goes. For laser hair removal, they have the good machine! ( it works on me quite well compared to other machines ) read more

I came here due to a groupon deal for laser hair removal treatment (6 sessions) for my underarm that I received as a birthday gift from my sister. I was always skeptical about the laser treatments and hesitant to do these, but because my sister gave it to me as a gift.. i had to do it. So far I have already completed 5 out of the 6th session and I'm pretty pleased by the service. Sente Bella is a great company and I love everything about them. The ambiance is really nice and relaxing. They have coffee, tea, and snack bars in the waiting area. The front service people are nice.. most of the time.... They also text you a reminder notice (most of the time) of the appointment. They actually forgot to text me for my 5th one and I forgot about the appointment... They were so nice that they decided not to count that against me. Jen is AWESOME! I really like her! I only make sure to schedule my appointments when she's available. Jen is friendly, nice, knowledgeable, empathetic, and patient. She seriously makes the whole experience very comfortable and relaxing. Another plus for me is that I can park in a 15 minute zone area for free because the procedures don't take that long since I'm only doing my underarm... Overall, I definitely recommend this place. read more

Sente Bella MedSpa is my go to for everything beauty! Nicole keeps me young with Botox and Justin smooths my smile lines with Juvederm! Ally and Anne work the desk and always have amazing customer service! You'll get hooked! Stop your search and make this place your home for your MedSpa needs! read more
