    Service: Gel X fill and nail art…read more After an endless search for nail techs, I finally found one that does phenomenal work, is reasonably priced, and an overall good vibe. Book with Taylor when you visit The Beauty Plug, and you'll never leave disappointed.

    Full disclosure: I am posting this 3wks after my visit, but began typing parts of the following…read morewhile still at the salon being worked on. I am adding onto it before posting. 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!

    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.

The girls I go to are Evelyn and Ciara and they have been really helpful in also making suggestions on what I need. I also go for their massages, and it's one of the best places I have gone for massages in San Diego. The massages are well worth it, and they even have Happy Hours! The place is very clean and relaxing.

    Update on my recent visit: I had a facial and Gaby gave me a whole different nose. I dont know why…read morei have not done it earlier. I tried her Le Mieux skin care products for about a month now. 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!

    I had to write another review for Gabriela, this time on her amazing skills with permanent makeup…read more Yes, she does it all. I did my lip blush tattoo with her and my lips already have a soft pink tint to them! (I am going to post my healed color 6 weeks post touchup). She is a master craftsman (craftswoman ) because she makes sure that her work is as impeccable as possible. She takes the time needed to make sure it's done right...and it sure is. 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!
