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!

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.

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.

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!

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 place is very clean and relaxing.

The building itself it no frills and pretty mellow, and doesn't feel stuffy like some of the other places I have visited. Bailey was down to earth, friendly and checked in at various times throughout the appt, but was not overly chatty, which made for a nice relaxing appt. The facial itself was very different from past experiences, in a very good way. The extractions were not painful and I was a little doubtful that anything happened, but when I went hope my skin looked great and a lot of small bumps had been removed. I will def be back and seeing Bailey again.
