  Still glowing two weeks after my microdermabrasion with Getsemany! ✨ She was so professional and talked me through the whole process. She was incredibly attentive to my sensitive skin. When it got a little irritated, she paused, adjusted, and finished the facial perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results! Highly recommend going to see her!

  I recently had a hydrating facial with Maria Bustos, and it was honestly the best facial I’ve ever had. My skin felt amazing, and my eyes and lips have never felt this moisturized before. She’s very professional, clean, and so kind, which made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxing and high quality facial experience! 🫶✨

  I had the privilege of learning under the most patient, compassionate, and adaptable instructor. Miss Cynthia Castrejon does not only have incredible talent and knowledge in her craft, but she also genuinely understands the challenges that come with balancing school, motherhood, and real life responsibilities. Her flexibility, encouragement, and unwavering support made my experience truly top-tier. I want to emphasize that these five stars are solely for her as an individual. This review does not reflect on any other staff, the facility, or the school as a whole. She is simply outstanding on her own merits

  Travis and Grace were fantastic team of student and teacher. Absolutely loved my experience! My stylist Grace listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered. My hair feels healthier, shinier, and so easy to style now. The atmosphere was relaxing and professional. I’ll definitely be coming back I had a prior experience that i took the day off and then they told me i could only get color. Which actually i thought to myself i am not coming back. But this time around really made me change my mind. I saw Travis with all the customers making everyone feel important like their time mattered. Grace and other students hyping each other up which i loved we all learned and the results was great thank you

  This school needs to be shut down and i mean asap. Whether it’s by stateboard or whoever owns the Bellus name. Shut. It. Down. As a student, take your money elsewhere. I was in the esthetics program and it was hell to say the least. We didnt have working equipment, we didn’t learn things that were in our curriculum, and the “teachers” weren’t interested in doing their jobs. They would tell us to purposely not wash the bedding used for clients because it was “too much laundry” and “would take too long in the dryer”. The most disgusting thing ever considering we’re supposed to be practicing infection control and stateboard standards. We also weren’t allowed to empty the barbicide every night which is Also a stateboard standard. The advanced esthetics night teacher would stunt our education growth by hiding textbooks, hiding and locking facial supplies from us and would only let the students she liked use them. She would threaten to send us home if we didn’t abide by HER rules, not the schools rules but HER rules. It was very hard to come to school everyday. I’m all for structure and rules but when you tell us we’re not allowed to have sidebar conversations because it interrupts the class but then have other students from the barber program come into the class and yall laugh and talk for 30 whole minutes, that’s where i have a problem. Theres so much more to say but I’ll leave it here. Just save your money yall if you can get your education elsewhere, go there. If not, leave Bellus (Chula Vista) as the LAST option. It’s not worth it.
