Love my experience at Bellus. Had a appointment for a facial with Gaby and my face has never felt this great. She let me know everything she was doing. Asked if I was doing okay. She was a great person to talk to. Her massages felt good. She wasn't too rough so that was a plus. Best experience with facial ever. Thank Gaby.
