But the 2nd and 3rd time I came here Linda wasn't there so I was seen by someone else and both times , I asked for a playboy yet I didn't get what I wanted. One waxed everything off forgetting I was getting a play boy, and the other time the girl doing my playboy didn't do it correctly. I assumed she didn't know what a triangle playboy looked like because when she was done , it didn't look like a triangle at all. And staff gets rude when you tell them how you wanted it after not going it correctly. Not coming back to this locations again. Staff needs to be trained more. Staff also needs to confirm what kind of wax the client is getting before waxing everything off .

If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

I've had a Belle Vie membership for over a year, and my main reason for keeping it was Jasmine…read more I've been coming to Belle Vie for the past 3 years and always had great experiences with her. Unfortunately, after Jasmine left Belle Vie, I decided to give NP Jessica a try since I still had my membership. After my experience today, I can confidently say I will not be going back. I got AquaGold microneedling done today and felt very undermined and blindsided. I arrived at 3:05 for optional numbing before my 3:30 appointment, but when I asked about numbing I was told they don't numb for this procedure because 1) it doesn't hurt and 2) it's much quicker than normal microneedling. Both of those statements turned out to be false. I was seen at 3:15 and finished my session around 3:40. At first the pain was bearable, but as the procedure continued it became increasingly painful. After I repeatedly told NP Jessica how much it hurt, she asked if it was my first time microneedling--even though I had already told her it was my first time when she walked into the room and that I was excited to try something new. Her response of "ohhhh I'm so sorry" made it feel like what I had shared beforehand wasn't really taken into account. For context, I have a very high pain tolerance. I've done multiple sessions of PRF EZGel under my eyes with NP Jasmine (formerly at Belle Vie and now at Intemporel Clinic). I've even been told I'm an easy patient to work on because I really do not complain. After the appointment, I called immediately while sitting in my car to be reminded of the post-care instructions because I was honestly so discombobulated from the experience that I couldn't recall them. I also got a second opinion from another NP based in Newport, who told me they absolutely could have numbed me rather than telling me the procedure wouldn't hurt and was quicker. I called back again and ended up getting connected to the receptionist at the Cerritos location, which was bizzare because 22 minute prior the Newport receptionist picked up. She was very apologetic and helped answer all of my questions. I mentioned that for future reference, I believe NP Jessica could be more mindful and transparent about the pain level and the fact that everyone's tolerance varies. I even said I would have gladly paid extra for numbing if that was the issue. She informed me that numbing is actually complimentary and that if I arrived early and asked about it, they could have simply asked if that was something I wanted rather than dismissing it. I will say that Z is the absolute best, and every facial I've gotten from her has been so good!! Although I won't be returning to Belle Vie after 3 years of coming here, I do wish them the best!!

No sticky residue post wax which is common from other places. I really like the eucalyptus warm towels post wax to smooth the back, nice touch. Place was charming and clean.

I recently had an exceptional men's waxing experience, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, professional, and designed for comfort. The technician was highly skilled, ensuring the process was as smooth and painless as possible. They took the time to explain each step, addressing any concerns and making sure I felt at ease throughout the appointment. The attention to detail was outstanding. The technician worked efficiently, using high-quality products that minimized irritation and left my skin feeling incredibly smooth. Their expertise was evident--not only in their technique but also in their ability to make the experience comfortable and stress-free. What truly stood out was the level of care and professionalism. The hygiene standards were impeccable, and the aftercare recommendations were thorough, helping me maintain great results. This wasn't just a service; it was a premium experience that made a lasting impression. If you're considering men's waxing, I highly recommend this place. Whether it's your first time or you're a regular, you'll receive top-tier treatment in a welcoming and professional setting. I will definitely be returning for future appointments! read more

It was my first time here and I got a facial, arm and underarm wax. I was new to the sugaring…read moreprocess so I was really excited to try something new, especially since it claims to be less painful. I would disagree, I think the pain level is about the same as waxing. If anything, waxing does a better job of removing hair than sugaring and is faster. The only difference is that waxing is really hot right when it touches the skin but that quickly goes away. I walked away with some random spots of hair on my arms that were missed and I don't know if that was due to the sugaring process or just lack of attention to detail. I noticed it too late so it wasn't worth coming back. Also, I normally get some red bumps after waxing and I got those again today (they go away after a couple of hours) so I don't think sugaring is any better than waxing. As for the facial, it was good but I haven't ever gotten one before so I can't really compare. I did leave with my skin feeling really soft and slightly red, but I think thats normal with a facial. Overall, it was a good place to try out but I don't think I would come back here for sugaring. I would come back for a facial though

Thanks to Skin So Sweet and Groupon, I can now add "customized facials" to the list of things I…read morenever even knew my life was missing. I had Amy as my esthetician and she was wonderful. I told her up front that this was my first facial, so she walked me through each step of the process as she performed it. Other than that, chatting was minimal and she didn't push a single product on me (perhaps it was because I told her I use Trader Joe's moisturizer? That probably shocked her system). The treatment itself was completely luxurious and left my face newly re-hydrated. I wasn't sure what to expect as to results, but this AM my face didn't dry up like the Mojave the second I exited the shower so I guess it's still hydrated, which is good right? Also - I LOVED the bonus neck/shoulder/arm/hand massage that's included with the facial. Just a word on the facility itself: This place is literally one room. There's no need to show up early for your appointment because you'll find yourself waiting in the parking lot staring at a door tastefully marked as "occupied" with a nice ribbon, much like your college roommate would do when she was shacking up with someone in your shared space. Once inside however, it's the perfect intimate space for a spa treatment. The fact that there is no foot traffic outside your door, or voices coming from up and down the halls, amplifies the intimacy and luxury of the treatment you receive. I enjoyed this treatment so much that I fully plan on returning to pay the full price ($95 + tip) for this treatment on a semi-regular basis.
