Let me start off by saying that this review is long overdue. I started going to Aby 6 months before…read moremy wedding. I knew I had never invested in my skin care before and knew nothing about my skins needs. Really, I only knew how my skin reacted to things and what I didn't like about it. My goal was to feel confident during my honeymoon going bare faced. Right away at my first appointment, Aby was able to tell I had very sensitive skin and created a plan in order for me to reach my skin goals in that 6 month time. Within a matter of the first few weeks and using the correct products (not guessing based off of marketing ) I started to see results. Each time I saw Aby she would provide a custom treatment and made me feel so relaxed. I am so happy that on my wedding day and during my honeymoon that I had reached the skin goals I had aimed for the 6 months prior. Not only is Aby talented and knowledge esthetcian, but she is also so incredibly kind and warm to be around. She runs a sound business with integrity, her pricing is fair and she'll be upfront with you. So blessed to have found her!!

I've always had problematic and very sensitive skin. Now that I'm aging, I realized that I needed…read moreto take better care of it. 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!

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!

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'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.

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.

Dr Jennifer Rullan is, by far, the BEST Dermatologist I have ever encountered…read more I first met her over 12 years ago when she treated my 14-year-old daughter for acne, and from that moment on, I was impressed by her extensive knowledge and compassionate approach. Dr Rullan consistently goes above and beyond to provide the Highest Level of Care. Her Expertise in treating acne is Remarkable, and she takes the time to ensure that her patients fully understand their treatment options. I have seen many dermatologist since I was 16, I can Confidently say that none have matched the Exceptional Care that I have received from Dr. Jennifer Rullan, except for Dr Peter Rullan. My daughter's, my mother and I are Truly Grateful to have Dr Rullan in our lives. The staff is Excellent as well- Courteous and Always Willing to go the Extra Mile to ensure that everything runs smoothly, from appointment setting, to keeping things up to date . Their Professionalism makes a Big Difference. We LOVE Dr. Rullan and Highly Recommend her to anyone seeking Outstanding Dermatological Care. She is a Gem in Dermatology!

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Peter Rullan himself. He was kind, informative, and I was…read morevery happy with the results of my Kenalog injections. My initial consultation was complimentary, and I paid $130 for the injections. At that appointment, I was told to come back in three weeks for a follow up. At my follow up, I told Dr. Rullan that I was really happy with my results and did not need any additional injections. We briefly discussed possibly doing a peel or laser in the future, and I told them I needed to look at my schedule and would get back to them. When I went to check out, I was surprised when I was told the visit would be $130. I explained that I had not been told there would be a charge for the three week follow up and that, had I known, I would not have scheduled the appointment because I was already happy with my results. This was especially confusing because my initial consultation had been complimentary and I had paid $130 for the injections themselves. Dr. Rullan kindly came over and waived the fee, and I apologized for the misunderstanding. Unfortunately, what happened afterward left me feeling incredibly humiliated. Mary, the office manager, told me, "You don't go out to eat without paying, do you?" She told me that the doctor's time is valuable, that a consultation or even asking a question about a procedure is a $130 fee, and that I was no longer welcome back. I completely understand that a physician's time is valuable, and I have no problem paying fees that are communicated to me beforehand. My issue was never about expecting a doctor's time for free. I simply was not aware that the follow up I had been instructed to schedule would cost another $130. I had actually been very happy with Dr. Rullan and was considering returning for a peel or laser treatment, which makes the way this interaction ended even more disappointing. I wish the fee had been clearly communicated when the follow up was scheduled and, more importantly, that the misunderstanding had been handled with kindness and professionalism rather than making me feel embarrassed and unwelcome.

I started applying chamomile compounds to help relief the symptoms, which by the 10th day were worse. Googled the symptoms and apparently were from brow ptosis; I felt hopeful because it said I was not losing my vision (that's how it felt on right eye). While I was told the injector would call me, I never got a call to at least do an evaluation. I do recommend the place for facials, however, based on my experience with Botox and the injector, I would never get Botox there again nor recommend it to anyone.
