I've been trying to do something nice for myself once a month and Balensi spa kept showing up on my…read moreinstagram page lol. 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.

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.

I booked the Harmony of Bliss package which came with quite a bit of amenities, which I loved! There was no instruction on which service would occur, when, and how long.

People were talking, setting up for other customers, and talking. Wasn't very relaxing. I still feel as though I still need a massage because the service was very gentle. It was nice but definitely didn't do much.

The common clothed area includes a lounge with refreshments, a cold room, and two dry saunas - one with salt walls and one infrared. Some private treatments are also offered such as massages and full body exfoliation. The cold plunge was 60 degrees on my first visit, 55 degrees on my second - both plenty cold for a beginner like me. Overall, a nice relaxing treat for your body although I wish they also offered grooming services like pedicures. It's not the largest place, but it's big enough and facilities like this are hard to find in the US.

Please only use the Spa for the wet area. The wet area and body scrub (only do not add the face mask or any add ons) are worth the money. Everything else is not. The staff including the front desk and massage therapist were genuine and caring. The facility was clean. The snacks area in the lounge were stocked. The uniform and towels were clean as well. This review is strictly for management and how they would allow a massage therapist that did not know what they were doing to massage customers. I am disappointed that I would be charged $140 + tip for the worst massage I have received. I have visited the Yu Spa many times and this time I opted for a dry massage. Now that I have had one I will not be returning.

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 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.
